Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 232 Show Your Love
Back in Chenxiang Garden, Huo Mingzhu put Baili Zonglu and Huo Huaiyu aside, she already knew about the fact that the two had hooked up together, and confirmed the authenticity.

Right now, she still has a lot of things to do, the bitch Baili Zonglu and Huo Huaiyu let them be arrogant for a while.

While thinking, Huo Mingzhu took the things she wanted to take away, and left the General's Mansion.

As soon as she left the gate of the General's Mansion, she heard someone calling her.

"A Jin."

Huo Mingzhu turned around in surprise, looked at the person who came, and after seeing that it was indeed the person she thought, she shouted in surprise: "Brother Yunchi."

This person is Lin Yunxi, the general who conquered the North, but Huo Mingzhu didn't know that he had already returned to Beijing.

This Lin Yunxi, dressed in ordinary clothes at the moment, still couldn't conceal the arrogance of that soldier. When facing Huo Mingzhu, the smile on his face was very bright, as if he was not a general, but just Huo Mingzhu's cousin .

"I haven't seen you for a long time. When I came back, I heard that you entered the palace and became the prince's companion. I didn't understand what my grandmother said, so I couldn't wait to come to you and see if you were really not in the palace." Now, I'm so lucky to be able to meet you." Lin Yunxi's happiness came from the bottom of his heart.

No one knew, when he heard about Huo Mingzhu's whereabouts, the sadness in his heart made him impulsive, even though he knew she was not in the general's mansion at the moment, he hurried over to find her.

Fortunately, I came here in a hurry to see her. This is the fate of the two, Lin Yunxi couldn't help thinking.

"So that's how it is. If my cousin is one step late, Ah Jin would have already entered the palace." Huo Mingzhu's happiness also came from the heart. If there is anyone in this life that Huo Mingzhu can treat each other with sincerity, then It was Lin Yunxi.

Thinking of Lin Yunxi's tragic death for her in the last life, she will definitely not let this happen again in this life.However, why did Lin Yunxi come back to Beijing at this time? The word "marriage" came to her mind.

However, why did Lin Yunxi come back before the imperial decree to bestow the marriage was issued.

"Cousin, why are you in Shangjing at this time?" Huo Mingzhu asked.

"The Empress Dowager's birthday is coming, I will escort the congratulatory gifts back." Lin Yunxi said.

Huo Mingzhu nodded, she thought, Mrs. Lin must have wanted to lock Lin Yunxi in the house, to prevent him from continuing to guard the border, so that the emperor could not see what he did, and would be more afraid of him. If Lin Yunxi was here at this moment, At home, under the eyes of the emperor, if you want to come, you will feel more at ease with Lin Yunxi.

The so-called master of high merit, the Pingyang Houfu really does not need more glory to deepen the crisis.

"So it was a congratulatory gift for the Queen Mother, so did my cousin wait until the Queen Mother's birthday passed before returning to the border?" Huo Mingzhu asked.

"Maybe so." Lin Yunxi couldn't figure it out himself.

He's not a fool, he's just escorting the Empress Dowager's congratulatory gift, so why let him come in person, just find a few capable soldiers, but, you don't need to tell Huo Mingzhu about this, she is only suitable to live her life happily without any worries That's it.

"Then, is uncle back too?" Huo Mingzhu asked.

"Never." Lin Yunxi smiled, paused, and then said, "You only think about your father?"

"Didn't I see you? I haven't seen my uncle for a long time, and Ah Jin misses him too." Huo Mingzhu laughed.

"If I never leave Shangjing in the future and let you see me anytime, wouldn't you get bored quickly?" Lin Yunxi said half jokingly, half seriously.

He thought of those servants' bad words, saying that the old lady wanted to ration Huo Mingzhu to him. After hearing this, the bubbles of joy in his heart almost drowned him. The next moment he knew that Huo Mingzhu entered the palace and became the prince's accompanying student. The pot of cold water poured him cold, and he secretly laughed at himself for wishful thinking.

"It won't be boring. If my cousin really takes root here in Shangjing and won't go to the border towns, then Ah Jin will be able to see my cousin marrying a wife and having children, and I can also hug my little nephew, and even hear his soft voice calling Looking at Auntie, thinking about Ah Jin makes me very happy." Huo Mingzhu also replied half-jokingly and half-seriously.

When Lin Yunxi heard her say this, even though she felt a little uncomfortable, she could only smile with the corners of her mouth open: "You came up with this idea."

"Of course, what a good idea, maybe the old lady has already started looking for candidates for a cousin." Huo Mingzhu blinked at Lin Yunxi with a mischievous look.

Lin Yunxi laughed: "You, it's always like this."

"Hey, you can only do this in front of your cousin and uncle." Huo Mingzhu touched her bun as if embarrassed.

Afterwards, Huo Mingzhu suddenly remembered, and shouted: "Oh, I just forgot the time while we were chatting. If this delays the time for the crown prince to enter the palace, it will be a disaster. Cousin, I just met you in a hurry today. There are a lot of things that I didn't enjoy chatting with, and I will have a good chat with you after I get a leave of absence from the palace in the future."

"Well, let's go." Lin Yunxi nodded.

Huo Mingzhu hurried to the place agreed upon with Baili Jingqi, and when she arrived, she saw that Baili Jingqi was already having lunch.

"Mingzhu is late, please punish me, Your Highness." Huo Mingzhu knelt down on the ground.

After Baili Jingqi saw her coming, he looked at her for a long time, and saw that her face was normal, and there were some beads of sweat on her forehead. He thought that she was in a hurry when she came here, so he smiled and said to Huo Mingzhu said: "You don't need to be too polite, you will be late if you are late, if it is not for Ah Jin's lateness, Gu would not know, the dishes here are so delicious."

Baili Jingqi asked Huo Mingzhu to come to Manjiangyuan to find him after finishing his work. This Manjiangyuan is a restaurant, and its business targets are high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Shangjing. Because it was built by the river, you can eat while eating Delicious food, while looking at the beautiful scenery in the river, so it is named Manjiangyuan.

"Thank you Prince for not punishing me." Huo Mingzhu then got up from the ground and stood in front of Baili Jingqi.

Baili Jingqi said to Cao An: "Give Ah Jin a pair of bowls and chopsticks, Ah Jin, sit down and use it with Gu."

"Yes." Huo Mingzhu was indeed hungry, and she often sat together for meals in the palace in the past, so she didn't say any more hypocritical words like dare not.

I still remember that when Baili Jingqi asked her to use it together for the first time, she persuaded her that it was inappropriate, but Baili Jingqi became angry. Huo Mingzhu didn't want to make things too troublesome. Meals are also common sense, from that day on, as long as Baili Jingqi asked her to sit down to eat, she would sit down.

"Ajin, try this Dongpo elbow, it seems to have a different taste than the one in the palace, which makes Gu feel that it is even better." Baili Jingqi said, and pushed a dish to Huo In front of Pearl.

Huo Mingzhu ate a little, nodded and said: "Returning to the prince, it is true."

"Compared with the dishes in this restaurant, the dishes in this palace have their own advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it doesn't matter whether the source is noble or ordinary, it should suit one's own heart, don't you think so, Ajin?" Baili Jingqi said.

Huo Mingzhu also pretended not to understand another layer of meaning in Baili Jingqi's words, and said with a smile: "Mingzhu is dull, I don't know what Your Highness means."

"Gu is talking about this dish." Baili Jingqi pointed at the dish with his chopsticks.

Huo Mingzhu looked at it and said, "Mingzhu also thinks so."

Baili Jingqi smiled: "Ah Jin, I just went back to the General's Mansion, did something special happen?"

After Huo Mingzhu heard this, she thought it was very strange that Baili Jingqi knew that she had met Lin Yunxi. This was a chance encounter, how did Baili Jingqi know, so she said: "Nothing special happened, to the old man After Madam greeted me, I looked around the house, and then I rushed to Manjiangyuan, if I want to say something special, it is that Mingzhu was fascinated by the people performing arts on the street, so she missed the time."

"It turns out that Ah Jin missed the time like this." Baili Jingqi smiled and nodded seriously.

"Exactly." Huo Mingzhu said.

"That street performer can attract Ah Jin so much, this ability should not be underestimated, Gu really wants to see it." Baili Jingqi said.

Cao An hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, why is this difficult? Now that the purple jade silkworm clothes have been obtained, it is still early to return to the palace, so I went to see the excitement. If the Queen Mother knew about it, she would not blame the Crown Prince. of."

Can't blame Cao An for saying that, the empress dowager's love for Baili Jingqi is well known, and she really won't be punished if she returns to the palace late for fun.

Baili Jingqi nodded: "Can Ah Jin accompany Gu for a walk?"

"Of course Mingzhu is willing." Huo Mingzhu said.

After the meal, Baili Jingqi couldn't wait to go to the street with Huo Mingzhu to see the buskers who made a living on the street. Although it is not as lively as the Lantern Festival and Shangyuan Festival at this time, the capital city is at the foot of the emperor. , it is also a place where rich people gather, and this business opportunity is naturally everywhere, so why is it not lively.

Even though it was noon, the bustling streets were still very hot and annoying. Baili Jingqi always had a smile on his face, and even Cao An was also smiling, because he knew that his master was happy from the bottom of his heart.

Only Huo Mingzhu didn't know why Baili Jingqi was happy.

"Ajin, do you think this hairpin looks good?" Baili Jingqi handed a delicate pearl hairpin to Huo Mingzhu.

Huo Mingzhu didn't take it, just glanced at it, and said: "Returning to the crown prince, this pearl hairpin is finely crafted, and the color of this pearl is also very bright, it is a good hairpin."

Although she didn't know what Baili Jingqi was doing with buying a hairpin from a girl's house, Huo Mingzhu still felt that she shouldn't turn a blind eye to a hairpin that was indeed similar, so she praised it a lot.

When Baili Jingqi heard Huo Mingzhu's words, he smiled even more happily. Cao An hurriedly stepped forward to pay the silver, and Baili Jingqi stepped forward, and gently inserted the pearl hairpin into Huo Mingzhu's bun, and was very satisfied. She looked at it for a long time and said: "A Jin's hair looks more beautiful with this hairpin on her head."

Cao An is the one who knows how to play by ear, so he followed suit: "The most important thing is that the prince put the hairpin on it by himself, and it looks even more different. I feel that Miss Huo is very happy."

Huo Mingzhu followed Cao An's words: "Mingzhu likes it very much, thank you His Royal Highness for the reward."

"As long as you like it." Baili Jingqi smiled even more happily.

Cao An even glanced at Huo Mingzhu with admiration. He had looked at Huo Mingzhu for so long, and finally did something that did not disobey the prince. Reminder, it can be seen that his master is able to be so happy, he has contributed a lot.

Cao An was satisfied with himself, but he didn't know that Huo Mingzhu just didn't want to make things too troublesome, so he just followed his words.

If you want to say, Huo Mingzhu thought that things should not be so troublesome, but things are so troublesome. If you go well on this road, you will meet people you don't want to meet.

For example, Baili Zonglu and Huo Huaiyu.

The four of them just met on the street.
