Chapter 311: A Sadistic Love Story with Your Sister (Sixteen)
Gu Qingcheng was delighted.
In addition to the joy of finally knowing one's identity, there is also the excitement of "I am a prince."
The prince is a noble man!
This is not a question of material things, but no one wants to be the lowly person at the bottom of society.
"but--"
Huo Wuniang hesitated to speak, her face full of worry.
Gu Qingcheng's smile slowly faded. She swallowed nervously and asked with difficulty, "Madam Huo, is there something wrong?"
Huo Wuniang opened her mouth, but swallowed it back.
Gu Qingcheng showed a look of thinking hard at the right time.
Although she lost her memory, she did not become a fool.
She doesn't remember her past, but she has basic intelligence and common sense.
She suddenly thought of something, lowered her head and looked at her right leg which was almost healed.
"'He', oh no, it's me. My carriage fell off a cliff. Was it not an accident?"
Gu Qingcheng asked this question in a firm tone.
A glimmer of admiration flashed in Huo Wuniang's eyes: Not bad, very smart!
She did want to cultivate a husband, but she refused to have a fool.
For example, Princess Ruyang’s stupid son.
Tsk, I’m useless and can’t convince my strong mother, so I have to resort to the trick of “pretending to obey but actually disobeying”.
Not daring to resist on the surface, they just do small moves secretly, and even try to "catch you in public".
This method is too secretive and is mostly used by women in the inner chambers.
And men should be open and honest.
Even if it is bad, it must be direct and obvious.
It is definitely not about being timid and using shameful little tricks.
Too low, too stupid! And is the relationship between him and the third princess "true love" or is there another reason?
Huo Wuniang didn't know the blind date man very well, as they had only met a few times.
However, Huo Wuniang still discovered some problems with him: although he looked gentle and kind on the surface, he was actually somewhat inferior, arrogant and self-righteous.
He has a strong mother and his own abilities are only average.
Relying on his family background and the contrast with his peers, he, who was not a playboy, became a so-called nobleman in the capital.
But he is still far from being a true genius or a talented person from aristocratic family.
He is jealous, he has low self-esteem, and his character is somewhat twisted.
He hopes to gain a sense of accomplishment from a weaker woman.
Huo Wuniang was the daughter of a general, of noble birth and with capable father and brother.
She herself is bright, generous, lively and unrestrained.
Huo Wuniang is also proficient in martial arts, riding and archery, and is better than the blind date guy.
The blind date guy has no advantage in front of Huo Wuniang. Instead, he will feel more inferior.
As for the third princess, although she was a princess, she was a little-known noblewoman in the capital.
She is weak and pitiful. She is a little white flower that needs to be saved by God.
The third princess can satisfy the sense of accomplishment that the blind date men need to the greatest extent.
So, they fell in love!
"Bah! He's just a coward who is mediocre himself and can't stand others' excellence."
After discovering the true face of the blind date man, Huo Wuniang felt disgusted.
I also feel that the blind date guy is too stupid!
Giving up a bright future for the sake of his own little "satisfaction" is a short-sighted fool who is destined to be a waste! The Ajiu in front of him, the Ninth Prince, is quite good.
Amnesia, but not dementia!
He has basic political literacy and enough brains.
The key is that both appearance and talent are top-notch.
Huo Wuniang felt that she was willing to take a gamble just for the Ninth Prince's face! The next day, Huo Wuniang wrote a letter to her grandmother, uncle, and others in Beijing, and described in detail her encounter with Gu Qingcheng.
He also gave detailed notes on his own guesses.
In addition, she also stuffed the rubbing drawing of the jade pendant into an envelope and ordered someone to send it to the capital as quickly as possible.
…
Beijing, the General's Mansion! "Mother, what do you think of Wu Niang's letter?"
The person who spoke was Huo Wuniang's uncle, General Huo's younger brother from the same mother.
The Huo family is a family of military honors, and most of the children in the family practice martial arts.
When they are fourteen or fifteen years old, they will go to the northwest to gain experience.
If you have talent and military achievements, you can continue to stay in the army.
If that fails, he will return to the capital and get a small official position with the help of his family's influence.
Uncle Huo is the latter.
He was physically strong and had good martial arts skills, but he had a fatal flaw - he was a road idiot! In ancient times when there were no satellites or electronic maps, not knowing the way was definitely the biggest obstacle for a military commander.
Uncle Huo didn't simply not know the way, he just had a very poor sense of direction.
Even if he had lived in the straight and flat capital city for more than ten years, he might still get lost.
When we went to the northwest, there were endless deserts and grasslands, without even a decent road. Uncle Huo wanted to die when he was there!
Since they couldn't lead the troops, the people of the Huo family couldn't just be pawns, so they simply returned to the capital.
It just so happened that Emperor Qing was very wary of those generals who held military power, and Uncle Huo was considered a hostage of sufficient importance left in the capital.
The Huo family can send a more talented son to the northwest!
In order to show his respect for the Huo family, Emperor Qing specially arranged a job for Second Uncle Huo in the Honglu Temple.
The fifth rank, neither high nor low.
He doesn't have much real power, but he's not idle either.
Receiving envoys from the Feng Dynasty and the Yu Dynasty, or engaging in verbal disputes with the surrounding small tribes, can also help pass the time.
Uncle Huo is doing a pretty good job.
However, at this moment, after receiving the letter from his niece, Uncle Huo was no longer so happy.
The old lady of the Huo family did not rush to speak.
She fiddled with a string of agarwood beads.
After a long while, he suddenly said, "Where is the rubbing drawing of the jade pendant? Let me see it!"
"yes!"
Uncle Huo agreed, quickly stood up and handed the drawings to his mother.
The old lady put the bracelet back on her wrist, took the drawing and looked at it carefully.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"This jade pendant looks familiar! I saw it on Concubine Dong when I entered the palace two years ago!"
The old lady’s rank is high enough and her status is noble enough.
She is one of the most famous ladies in Beijing.
Therefore, she was qualified to attend all banquets, big or small, held in the palace.
The seats are relatively forward.
She was also familiar with the peerless and charming Concubine Dong.
Seeing the jade beads drawing instantly awakened my memory.
"Wu Niang also mentioned that Ah Jiu unconsciously mentioned 'Wei Xian' in his dream?"
The old lady looked up at her son and said, "You are in the Honglu Temple. A few months ago, when the Ninth Prince led an envoy to the Feng Dynasty, you should also know that the envoy leading the team was Wei Xian!"
If Ajiu was just a farmer or an ordinary citizen, he might have heard of the mission, but he would never know who the leader of the mission was! Therefore, this is also one of the proofs that "Ajiu" has an extraordinary origin.
Second Uncle Huo: ...
He pursed his lips and said nothing in rebuttal.
Because it is a fact that Wei Xian was the leader of the delegation.
Uncle Huo helped with matters related to the Ninth Prince's study tour to Feng Dynasty with the diplomatic delegation.
He knew the details very well.
"The age and appearance match! The only problem is that if we reveal this, we will be caught up in the fight among the princes."
With just a letter from her granddaughter, the old lady had a general idea of the situation and predicted what might happen in the future.
Uncle Huo stood with his back bowed, his attitude very respectful, "That's why I'm a little hesitant because I'm worried about this!"
Is it so easy to get involved in the affairs of the royal family? Not to mention, the Huo family's status is sensitive. If they intervene rashly, Emperor Qing will be the first to disagree.
The old lady smiled coldly, "We have long been unable to get rid of the relationship with the royal family."
"Besides, since we failed to marry Princess Ruyang, it's unlikely that we can completely distance ourselves from the matter!"
At the beginning, the old lady had no intention of marrying the eldest princess.
The Huo family has never had any involvement with the royal family or clan members.
However, the eldest princess was very positive and praised Huo Wuniang in public several times.
Her thoughts are exactly as clear as Sima Zhao's.
The Huo family simply can't keep playing dumb.
The old lady thought again that although the eldest princess was a royal noble, she had married into the Duke's Mansion, and her son was also the prince of the Duke's Mansion, not a member of the Qing family.
The Huo family is marrying into the Duke's Mansion, so it doesn't count as a violation of ancestral teachings.
For many reasons, the old lady agreed.
But she never expected that the eldest princess's son was a fool, and the eldest princess was also a person who would turn her back on her parents.
When the old lady thought of the rumors her granddaughter had suffered a few days ago, she couldn't help but clench her fists.
Of course, they were just some rumors, and as someone who had experienced countless ups and downs, the old lady wouldn't take them too seriously.
Mainly through this incident, the old lady knew the character of Princess Ruyang - arrogant, unreasonable, bullying, and unscrupulous!
Even if the marriage fails with other powerful families in the capital, they will not become enemies.
The worst case scenario is to stop interacting with each other and treat each other as strangers.
But the eldest princess was too domineering and unreasonable. For such a domineering person, if she owed others, she would not feel guilty but would "retaliate" even more severely.
It seems that as long as the "victim" disappears, all the wrong things he has done can be wiped out.
The old lady had every reason to worry, "The princess has already held a grudge against our Huo family! Even if we give in, she will do everything she can to plot against us!"
Now that we are enemies, don't have any more illusions.
But the eldest princess is Emperor Qing’s biological sister. As long as Emperor Qing is around, the Huo family can only endure, give in, and be on guard against the eldest princess at all times.
"It is said that a thief can be thieves for a thousand days, but you cannot be on guard against thieves for a thousand days."
Although the old lady is a woman and is old, she comes from a noble family and married into a general's mansion, so she is very strong in her bones.
"I think Wu Niang has a good idea! The Ninth Prince is an opportunity!"
The old lady thought about it again and again and finally made a decision.
Uncle Huo was still a little worried, but he was the most filial son and believed in his mother's vision and decision.
"Okay! Mother, what should we do next?"
"Do you want me to write a memorial and report this matter?"
Second Uncle Huo might not be as capable as his elder brother, but he is not mediocre either.
Since he agreed with his mother's decision, he began to think hard about the next countermeasures.
"Yes! As a subject, I must be loyal to His Majesty! If there is any situation, I must report it immediately."
The old lady said with a smile.
Obviously, she was very satisfied with her second son's performance!
