Chapter 110 Honestly
After hearing Concubine Huo’s complaints, Huo Yixiao laughed again.
It was already dark outside, and the lights were lit in the warm room, which was gentle and not dazzling.
Under the light, a little relaxation and freedom appeared in the faint smile on the young man's face, but there were a lot of red bloodshot in his eyes.
Concubine Huo felt distressed when she saw it.
The road in Jiangnan was far away, and in order to rush back to the capital before the seal of the yamen, their group must have been working tirelessly.
As a result, the front foot entered the palace and the rear foot was punished.
Concubine Huo swallowed all the complaints and asked Eunuch Qi to show Huo Yixiao's knees first. It was very cold, and she had to rub them away after kneeling for so long.
Huo Yixiao said: "No, I know it myself."
"What do you know?" Concubine Huo was annoyed, "Here! I will cover it with my hand stove first. When you get older, you will know that you will suffer!"
I was yelling and still felt distressed in my heart.
Concubine Huo sighed and said, "You are just deliberately making the emperor angry."
Huo Yixiao looked at Concubine Huo and said nothing.
Concubine Huo continued to say her own: "Let me think about it, you suddenly left Beijing before, and Zhu Sheng had nowhere to vent his anger, and he was still holding back his anger until today.
I heard that you happened to meet them when you entered the palace, and you had a quarrel again, right?
If you are afraid that he will seek trouble in the future, you might as well ask the emperor to punish you. If you are "injured", he will never let go, and he will be unlucky in the end.
But you don’t think about your own body. I endured my heartache and waited for more than half an hour!
You are going to worry about me!"
Huo Yixiao said: "You understand clearly. Unfortunately, you only waited for half an hour and I had nothing to do when I got up and didn't hurt."
"Oh, do you still feel like you're kneeling in vain? I'm worried about it, so I'm going to let Eunuch Qi go too early, right?" Concubine Huo slapped Huo Yixiao on the back, "Tell me, what's the point?"
Huo Yixiao asked back: "What?"
"Don't pretend to be stupid for me!" Concubine Huo snorted, "In the past, how many times have I told you to tell you not to fight head-on with Your Highness and suffer losses.
When you were a child, you would listen to a few words. In recent years, you have been lip service and have to say good words. When you meet them, you will be forced.
Just like last time, he interrupted Zhu Sheng's hand. Aren't you hurt yourself?
He was injured less and was punished by the emperor."
Huo Yixiao pursed his lips: "You can't just talk about me. I didn't want to provoke him. It was because he was reluctant to let go. I hid in Jiangnan to avoid him."
"What are you avoiding? Are you avoiding him when you go to Jiangnan? You are so annoyed in Beijing, so you run out to play!" Concubine Huo exposed Huo Yixiao's words, "You don't care about Zhu Sheng at all. It's amazing that you just fight again, so why did you deliberately anger the emperor?"
Huo Yixiao said: "It's just that I'm talking so hard. He asked me how I'm going to go to Jiangnan. I said I'm interested in a girl..."
Concubine Huo's eyelids twitched: "What girl?"
"The Emperor asked the same question," Huo Yixiao said, "I'll tell you honestly."
Concubine Huo had a tense face and listened to what Huo Yixiao called "to be honest".
She also has to be honest. If Huo Yixiao was so honest in the imperial study, the emperor would have been able to kneel for half an hour.
"Wen Yan, right?" Huo Taifei narrowed her eyes, "I have some impression of Cheng An's companion reading, she looks very smart. I haven't heard you mention her before."
"What do you mean?" Huo Yixiao said, "She lived a good life before, so why would I get her into me?"
Concubine Huo couldn't hear what he said and glared at him.
"My uncle analyzed it with me, and I think it makes sense. She and I are on the same boat now, so no one dislikes each other." Huo Yixiao said again.
"The more you say it, the less reasonable it is!" Huo Taiwei said, but in an instant, he inferred everything Huo Huaiding would say.
Huo Yixiao and Wen Yan are indeed the same boat.
"The Emperor will not agree to you easily," said Concubine Huo, "You are not worth the loss for the sake of a girl."
Huo Yixiao took a piece of red bean cake from the dessert plate on a few pieces and took a bite.
It is sweet and soft, delicious, but as Wen Yan said, this is a cold snack.
He still likes to eat a bite of hot.
Tangyuan, crystal oil bun, is hot, and it can be warmed by one mouthful.
"I have to get married, right?" Huo Yixiao looked at Concubine Huo and said, "Miss is from a poor family. You and the emperor don't like it. If you have a good family background, the mansion will not like it.
With my identity, which family is so humble in the court who is willing to marry my girl?
Care for trouble.
It’s just Wenyan, whichever pot is equipped with a cover.”
Concubine Huo: "..."
The words were harsh and the tone was self-deprecating, but Concubine Huo couldn't get angry, and she just felt distressed.
Concubine Huo thought for a while and found the gentlest way to ask: "Have you two agreed?"
Huo Yixiao nodded.
"Did you two..." The words hit the lips, and Concubine Huo was shocked and immediately turned, "Have you discussed what to do afterwards? When she came out of the filial piety period, go to Lin'an to welcome her?"
Huo Yixiao said: "Mr. Wan, the magistrate of Shuntian Mansion, is about to retire. My uncle will arrange for her uncle to take over. She will go to the post with her uncle at that time."
Concubine Huo was glad that Huo Yixiao didn't hear what she almost said wrong, and Huo Yixiao's answer surprised her.
Everyone was transferred to the capital, which shows that they had made up their minds.
Moreover, this is not only Huo Yixiao's will, but Huo Huaiding played a role in promoting it.
Concubine Huo thought for a while and said, "So, aren't you afraid that Zhu Sheng will cause trouble for you, are you afraid that he will cause trouble for Wen Yan? If the emperor punishes you first, he will not be able to use the Wen family for the time being?"
Huo Yixiao took another piece of red bean cake, swallowed it, and said, "You look up to me and underestimate Zhu Sheng. He wants to find trouble for the Wen family, so there are so many ways."
Concubine Huo didn't believe him.
Without Huo Yixiao, Zhu Sheng was full and went to trouble the Wen family?
Huo Yixiao made preparations early, and there must be other reasons related to Wen Yan.
It seems that she will have to summon Huo Huaiding to the palace tomorrow and ask carefully about the whole story.
Concubine Huo kept Huo Yixiao for dinner, asked some interesting stories about her trip to Jiangnan, and recalled many of the past when she lived in Lin'an before moving the capital.
After Madam Qi sent Huo Yixiao away, Concubine Huo said to Madam Deng: "I don't have a deep impression of that little girl Wen Yan. I only remember her appearance. What kind of temperament does she have?"
Madam Deng said, "I remember that she is well-educated. She is well-mannered when she comes to pay tribute to you with the princess. She speaks more carefully and does things carefully. She is a gentle and slow person."
"It sounds okay," said Huo Taifu, "it was the case last year..."
"The fourth young master is in love with it. If you forcefully demolish it, it will hurt his heart." Madam Deng advised.
With a few fingers on his finger, Concubine Huo smiled and said, "That's right."
There are almost two years left before the Wen Banquet filial piety period, and there is still time left.
Since we will be entering Beijing after the New Year, let’s take a look at it later.
If it is really suitable, she will do her part. If it is not suitable, there will be many ways to dismantle it.
