Hou's favorite girl

Chapter 169

Even though he was sitting under the shade of a tree and the cool breeze was blowing, Duke Huai felt very hot and his mouth was very dry.

He poured himself a cup of tea, and when the tea reached his lips, he blushed inappropriately when he remembered that Jiang Hui had used this cup just now.

Jiang Hui got up to pick a pink crabapple, lowered her head, and sniffed the fragrance lightly, "Cousin, I want to discuss something with you."

At the turn of spring and summer, Xifu Begonias stand tall against the wind, the flowers are bright and delicate, the unopened buds are red and dripping, like rouge, and the blooming flowers are pink, like dawn and bright clouds.Jiang Hui's graceful figure is set off by this beautiful and beautiful flower, making her more charming and charming.

"Cousin, please tell me." Duke Huai calmed down, stood up, and said softly.

Jiang Hui played with the pink begonia in her hand, a little embarrassed, "Cousin, you, you haven't engaged in marriage yet, have you?"

Duke Huai didn't know why Jiang Hui asked this question, his heart almost jumped out of his throat, his voice was hoarse and low but very urgent, "No, of course not."

Jiang Hui giggled, "Since you are not engaged yet, can you...hehe, there is a gamble right now, my father and I have placed a big bet, we must not lose..."

At this moment, Duke Huai's soul seemed to fly out of his body, without even thinking about it, he softly uttered two words, "I can."

Jiang Hui's eyes lit up, "Really? Thank you very much. Cousin, you haven't engaged in marriage yet, so your thoughts should be similar to those of other people who have never engaged in marriage. Cousin , I want to pay a lot of money to buy a prince and grandson to come to my house to propose marriage, so as to ensure that my father and I will not lose. Help me think of a way, how to persuade the other party, okay?"

Duke Huai was dumbfounded.

It turned out that what she wanted to discuss with him was this...

"Are you okay?" Jiang Hui looked at him hopefully.

"Okay." Duke Huai nodded involuntarily.

Jiang Hui was very happy, "Cousin, let's sit down and talk slowly." She returned to the chair and sat down, took two unused cups, and poured tea for her and Duke Huai.

Duke Huai had already drank water from that cup just now twice, and he had feelings for him, so he was willing to use the original one and quietly changed it back.

Jiang Hui didn't pay attention to these details, and asked with a smile: "Cousin, what would a young man who has never been married think about this matter, can you tell me in detail?"

Her voice is sweet, and she sent it together with the fragrance of crabapple flowers, which is intoxicating.

"Yes." Duke Huai said.

Today is a fine day, and the style is soft, just like Duke Huai's voice.

As it was getting dark, Duke Huai entered the emperor's bedroom with a bouquet of bright red Shengchun flowers in his hand.

The emperor just finished dealing with a troublesome political matter, put down the memorial, and stretched his waist, "Is this flower for me? Xiaohuo, thank you, you have brought fragrance and light to me."

"Bringing fragrance is easy to understand, but what about bringing light?" Duke Huai asked for a vase, arranged the flowers with his own hands, and asked humbly for advice.

The emperor smiled, "Little Huo, you are white and bright, with your own light."

Duke Huai's hands that were arranging the flowers paused for a long time, his expression fluctuating.

The emperor laughed out loud.

Duke Huai reluctantly arranged the flowers and placed them on the emperor's case, "Father, I want to go out of the palace to build a mansion."

"No." The emperor flatly refused.

Duke Huai did not give up, "It's time for me to marry a wife and start a family, I am not fit to live in the palace anymore."

"You are only so old, so you want to marry a wife and start a family." The emperor said angrily, "You only this year..."

"Father, I am this year." Duke Huai reminded.

The emperor took out a branch of bright red Shengchun flowers from the bottle and put it in front of his nose to sniff, "This flower is not only delicate and beautiful, but also fragrant. Xiao Huo, bring two more bunches back next time, I like it."

"Get down to business." Duke Huai asked for flowers from the emperor and put them back in the vase.

The emperor leaned on the couch and said lazily: "Little Huo, then I will tell you about the business. A man in his twenties is the crown, and he has just come of age at this time. You are only this year... How old are you, right? You are not yet an adult, you have not yet performed the crown ceremony, what kind of palace will you go out, what kind of mansion will you build."

"But, I have words." Duke Huai argued.

Men wear 20 crowns and characters. At the age of [-], a crown ceremony is held and characters are given to indicate adulthood.Duke Huai is less than twenty now, so he didn't perform the coronation ceremony, but he already has words, Zi Chong.

"If you don't obey me again, I will take back the words I gave you." The emperor smiled, but he didn't know if he was telling the truth, threatening, or teasing Duke Huai.

Duke Huai was frustrated.

"To curry favor with you, is it good?" Duke Huai asked.

The emperor said: "The more you flatter me, the better I think you are, and the more I miss you."

The emperor's meaning is too clear, and it's not good to flatter him. Don't even think about going out of the palace to build a mansion.

"Then I'll be mischievous." Duke Huai had a new idea.

The emperor was happy, "He is taller than me, but he is still mischievous. Alas, there is no way, I have to teach such a son myself for a few more years."

Still not allowed to go.

Duke Huai frowned and looked at the emperor, who smiled brightly with a carefree expression.

"Father, do you have enough money in your internal treasury?" Duke Huai changed the subject, and stopped entangled with the emperor about leaving the palace, building a mansion, marrying a wife and starting a family. If it doubles, it will be considered a tribute to you."

The treasury of the palace is called the inner treasury.Unlike the national treasury, the internal treasury is the emperor's private property and can be disposed of at will.The treasury is different. The use of the treasury's property, gold and silver, is to be discussed with the court.

"How do you double it?" The emperor was very interested and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Duke Huai hesitated for a while, and whispered a few words into the emperor's ear. The more the emperor listened, the more surprised he became, "Isn't Junxi's daughter the little girl I met last time? The gambling house is gambling with her again?"

"I bet she wins." Duke Huai said firmly.

"I also bet on her to win." The emperor didn't hesitate, "Why is Junxi's daughter so uninterested?"
