Chapter 971
After leaving the Taiji Hall, Shen Rang squeezed Huo Zhao's hand tightly and whispered, "You're really bold."
Huo Zhao smiled and said, "I'll take that as a compliment."
Shen Rang also smiled.
Of course it's a compliment.
——
Huo Zhao also drank some wine that night. After returning to the palace, he fell into a deep sleep and slept until late morning the next day.
I was startled as soon as I stepped outside.
The once spacious courtyard was now filled with many mahogany chests and cages.
These boxes alone are worth a fortune.
"This is......"
"Young Madam is awake!" Le'an said with a smile. "These were sent over early this morning by Her Majesty the Empress, as a reward for Young Madam!"
Although they didn't go into the palace together, they had heard about what happened last night, and they were extremely proud of it.
Huo Zhao was somewhat surprised: "It's not a big deal, so why is it worth Her Majesty the Empress personally bestowing a reward upon us?"
“How can it not be a big deal? It’s a matter of utmost importance!” Jixiang said.
Last night was a state banquet. If Huo Zhao shows weakness, he will be drowned in spittle this morning for causing trouble in such an occasion.
But Huo Zhao not only did not show weakness, but also pushed Southern Chu back, so naturally he had to be rewarded handsomely.
"What did you give as a gift?"
“We have everything! Expensive fabrics, jade ornaments and the like, I’ve already had them registered and put into storage,” Jixiang said. “Oh, by the way, Madam just said she wanted you to wake up and come over.”
Huo Zhao nodded, invited the two into the house, tidied up carefully, and then went to Madam Chen's residence.
Madam Chen had already woken up and was waiting for her in the courtyard.
Seeing that she had finally arrived, Madam Chen sighed helplessly, "You slept for quite a long time."
It's almost noon.
She had heard that Huo Zhao had been drinking fruit wine all night.
Huo Zhao sat down next to her: "Anyway, I have nothing to do today, so I'll sleep a little longer. Mother, did you need something?"
"It's nothing major. I just heard that our Princess Huo shut up Nan Chu last night, so I wanted to see her."
"Mother, please stop making a fuss."
The mother and daughter chatted and laughed for a while, and then had lunch together.
Mrs. Chen had nothing to say to her; they just chatted for a while before she sent her back.
Even during casual conversation, Mrs. Chen's eyes were overflowing with satisfaction and love.
——
Just as I left Madam Chen's place, the gatekeeper came to report that Shu Ningshuang had something urgent to discuss with her, and it was extremely urgent. If possible, he asked her to bring a few people who knew martial arts with her.
If she's allowed to bring all the martial arts experts over, then this matter is no small thing.
Although Huo Zhao and Shu Ningshuang's relationship wasn't quite at the level of going to great lengths for each other, she enjoyed watching the drama unfold.
Huo Zhao then summoned several servants and went out.
Nowadays, Shu Ningshuang and Yun Ruiyang live separately in a house. The house is not as big as a typical mansion, but it is more spacious than a typical residence. It looks like it is one of Shu Ningshuang's dowry items.
Upon seeing Shu Ningshuang, before Huo Zhao could even ask what was wrong, Shu Ningshuang blurted out, "That bitch Yun Ruiyang! While I was away attending a palace banquet last night, he actually tried to sneak out. Luckily, I had someone outside who closed the door and stopped him."
We can't leave him in Luoyang now; I want to send him to a village outside the city.
