Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 31 Deliberately making things difficult
Huo Huaiyu's face was flushed red, her hands were tightly clenched in her sleeves, damn Huo Mingzhu!She was annoying enough, but even a girl next to her was so annoying!
Suppressing the hatred in his heart, Huo Huaiyu tried his best to smile, turned around and smiled at the guards: "You guys have worked hard too, come and sit with me?"

Naturally, Baili Zonglu was the guest of honor at the banquet. Many guests seldom saw the lord, and they wanted to toast him a glass, but because of his noble status, they were timid even to toast, for fear of getting him drunk , causing big trouble again.

Therefore, even though Baili Zonglu was an honored guest, he did not attract too much attention when he was at the host's house. Everyone looked at him with awe, because he did have thousands of lives in his hands.

Baili Zonglu didn't care about this, he followed Huo Mingzhu with his eyes, and just now he heard Sulu say that Huo Mingzhu was grateful to him in his heart, he was chanting, and when he came back into her sight, he straightened up, But Huo Mingzhu was polite and distant, never showing the slightest interest in him.

After waiting a little irritably, Huo Mingzhu finally came up to toast. She is Jijili's boudoir daughter, and she should not show her face, but the status of the General's Mansion is prominent, and her mother's family, the Pingyang Hou Mansion, is the founding hero. Naturally, she is not comparable to ordinary women. .

Baili Zonglu was sitting there, seeing Huo Mingzhu coming from the corner of his eye, but he didn't raise his eyes to look at her. When Huo Mingzhu approached, Yingying saluted him: "The little girl Huo Mingzhu toasted the prince with tea instead of wine... Thank you, the prince." welcome."

Only then did Baili Zonglu look at her, and saw Huo Mingzhu standing there with lowered brows, and there was indeed only green tea in the cup in his hand.

For some unknown reason, Baili Zonglu held the wine glass, shook the wine in it, smelled it as if it was very rare, his phoenix eyes narrowed, and looked at Huo Mingzhu with a half-smile and said: " Today, Miss Huo will reach the age of Ji, presumably from tomorrow, the threshold of the general's mansion will be broken by people who propose marriage, Miss Huo should keep her eyes open and choose a good son-in-law. This king thinks that a tiger father has no dog daughter, and Huo The general is a good drinker, Ms. Huo might as well pour some wine, as for the tea, only young Miss Huo Er should drink it."

He was not happy to replace wine with tea, but asked her to exchange wine. This was to make things difficult for Huo Mingzhu.

Even though the guests present were eating and drinking separately, they did not dare to neglect the presence of a big man, and when the Ninth Prince spoke, everyone stopped their chopsticks.The majestic Ninth Prince, no matter how excessive the request is, he is also right.

Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Huo, Huo Zhengde and many ministers of the imperial court were at the same table, but Huo Zhengde, who had always been in charge, was away from the table. Lin Ruyi, as the main mother, entertained distant relatives at the other table However, the remaining old women or Marquis of Pingyang are not good at interfering in the Huo family's affairs, so they all hope that Huo Mingzhu will be a little more sensible, and don't offend the Ninth Prince.

Huo Huaiyu, on the other hand, kept watching the excitement, and called softly: "Sister..."

Baili Zonglu was also waiting, waiting for Huo Mingzhu to say something, he just wanted to hear her argue with him, and then try to control her wildness.

"What the prince said is very true, but Mingzhu is disrespectful. Come and exchange wine." Huo Mingzhu was silent for a moment, raised her head, and without looking at Baili Zonglu, let the girl pour her tea and fill a glass full of wine. Respectfully said: "Mingzhu does it first and respects, Wang Ye, you can do whatever you want."

She said, without waiting for Baili Zonglu's reaction, she covered her mouth with her sleeve and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

The whole audience was silent, even Baili Zonglu was stunned, and the dangling wine glass in his hand remained still.
