Chapter 122 The princess said this to coax me

Because Huo Xiao has been practicing martial arts for many years, there is a thin layer of calluses on his fingertips, which do not feel very soft to the touch.

Every time they held hands, Huo Xiao held it very lightly.

That kind of cautiousness, fearing that it would make her uncomfortable.

But today, when Huo Xiao held her hand, he obviously used a bit more strength, and even made her hand feel a little painful.

The carriage had just driven out of the palace gate.

Su Yunyao let go of his hand and asked, "Are you angry?"

Huo Xiao pursed his lips tightly, "I dare not."

Su Yunyao raised her eyebrows slightly: "Crying?"

Huo Xiao was silent for a while, then asked, "When did the princess get together with Lord Lu?"

Su Yunyao asked doubtfully, "Together? What do you mean together?"

Huo Xiao felt a sudden pain in his heart and suddenly hugged her with both hands.

He buried his head deeply in Su Yunyao's neck, "Princess and Master Lu, also..."

Huo Xiao stopped talking before he finished.

He just went through it in his mind, and a dense pain arose in his heart.

Su Yunyao curled the corners of her lips and touched his head, "Is this important?"

Huo Xiao didn't say anything and was silent for a long time. Su Yunyao felt the clothes on her shoulders become wet.

And...did she really make her cry?

No way, no way!

The invincible general, all because of one sentence.

Hugging her and crying like a crybaby?

"What are you doing?"

Su Yunyao tried to pry his head up with her hands, but failed after trying for a long time, so she finally gave up.

She stroked his head a few times as if stroking his hair, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Lu Mingfeng and I are just friends, it's not what you think."

Pure friendship?

Huo Xiao was slightly stunned for a moment, and when he spoke again, his voice was a little hoarse, "The princess lied to me."

"When did this princess lie to you?"

"If the princess and Lord Lu are just friends, why should he be given a title?"

Status?

Su Yunyao sneered, "My great General Huo, what are you trying to do? What do you mean by giving him a title? Didn't this princess give you a title?"

"That's different." Huo Xiao said in a deep voice.

"What's the difference?" Su Yunyao teased, "I really can't tell, when General Huo gets jealous, he really has a lot going for him."

"I thought I would be the first person the princess would give a title to, but I didn't expect it would be Lord Lu."

Su Yunyao: ???

"Huo Xiao, you're being unreasonable. Why wasn't I the first one to give you a title? Before you left for the battle, didn't I kiss you in front of all the civil and military officials? Isn't that considered giving you a title?"

Huo Xiao's breathing slowed down a bit when he heard this.

Although...it seems to be the case.

Suddenly, his heart, which had been feeling like it was being clenched by something, relaxed a little, but only a little.

Whenever he thought of the princess holding hands with Lu Mingfeng in front of him, he felt like a stone was pressing on his heart, making him feel suffocated and unable to breathe.

The carriage stopped steadily at the gate of the princess's mansion.

Huo Xiao still kept holding Su Yunyao without moving.

"Princess, we're here."

Pearl raised her voice again and reminded.

Su Yunyao glanced at the head at her neck and sighed helplessly in her heart.

He didn't feel ashamed when he was crying, but now he buries his head and refuses to get up.

"knew."

Su Yunyao responded indifferently.

She stroked his head twice more and said, "My great General Huo, have you cried enough? Here we are."

A long while passed.

Huo Xiaocai slowly raised his misty eyes.

He had thought that even if the princess would have other men in the future, at least for now, she was his alone.

But he was wrong.

It turns out from the very beginning.

The princess never belonged to him alone.

Huo Xiao followed her into the inner courtyard of the princess's mansion.

Shanhu, who did not enter the palace with her, had already asked someone to boil some hot water.

Su Yunyao pulled him into the bathroom and said, "Take a bath and relax."

Huo Xiao was stunned for a moment, but did not refuse. He just said calmly, "Princess, would you like to take a bath with me?"

"Of course." Su Yunyao said, untied her belt and casually put it on the screen.

Surrounded by mist, Su Yunyao lifted his cheeks with both hands and pecked his lips.

"Are you feeling better?"

Huo Xiao's eyes were deep. He stared at Su Yunyao for a while and said, "I will take it as the princess's words to coax me."

Finished.

He held the back of her head with his backhand and deepened the kiss, "Princess, I want... enough tonight..."

After Su Yunyao took Huo Xiao away.

Lu Mingfeng stood outside the hall for a long time.

It took so long that he didn't even know how much time had passed before he slowly lowered his head and looked at his empty hand.

That was the hand the princess had just held, but now he could no longer feel the warmth from her fingertips.

The spy in Nanfeng Pavilion told him that if he wanted to win a woman's heart, he had to learn to fight and compete for her.

But... in front of General Huo, what can he use to fight for it?

Is it proactive?

How to take the initiative?

That night, he had clearly been stripped naked by the princess and was lying on the same bed, but the princess didn't touch him.

Right now.

He regretted it so much.

Why did he drink so much alcohol that he passed out?

Be proactive, play hard to get, and act weak in front of the princess...

Lu Mingfeng only felt that the imperial examination he took back then was not that difficult.

He sighed deeply and returned to the Dali Temple.

The guard was slightly stunned when he saw him at this time. "Master Lu, is there something wrong? Didn't you go to the palace to attend the palace banquet?"

Lu Mingfeng's expression was calm. "Go and bring out the spy from Nanfeng Pavilion. This Lord Temple wants to interrogate him personally."

The guard's eyes were startled, "Yes."

Is Nanfengguan restless recently?

The Lord Temple Minister has interrogated this person several times recently.

What is going on?

The celebration banquet was coming to an end with Huo Xiao's departure.

Because the queen was pregnant and had not made it public, he left a message saying that officials of the third rank and above would be rewarded and allowed to go to Tangquan Palace for a bath tomorrow, and then left with the queen.

The officials, who had been holding their breath all night, began to discuss the matter.

"No, did I hear it wrong? General Huo and Lord Lu are now the eldest princess's people?"

"I guess I heard it right. That seems to be the case."

"I remember that before General Huo left for the battle, the princess kissed him in front of all the civil and military officials. I thought that when General Huo returned from this battle, the emperor would grant him and the princess a marriage, but I didn't expect Lord Lu to show up midway."

"Oh, or maybe it's because Lord Lu was promoted so quickly? A few days ago, he was the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple, and now he's the Second Rank Minister of the Dali Temple. It turns out that he got in touch with the Princess. In my opinion, no matter how great his achievements are, they are not as good as whispering in the Princess's ear."

"But didn't the princess go to the border to look for General Huo? When did Lord Lu hook up with the princess..."
