Chapter 139 The Little Queen Whose Wife Was Taken Away by the King (5)
When you step into the Buddhist land, you will find a quiet and peaceful environment, towering ancient trees and lingering Buddhist chants.
The girl is wearing a simple and elegant hairpin skirt, with a graceful figure and light steps. She is particularly eye-catching in this quiet atmosphere and forms a beautiful landscape in herself.
Sure enough, just as Qingwu expected, soon after they entered the Buddhist temple, they ran into Miao Tiantian who also came to worship Buddha devoutly.
The General Miao of the past, the Mrs. Huo of today.
Qingwu's mother recognized him and immediately greeted him. Everyone knew that the Huo family was the real favorite in front of the emperor now, and with the prince around, they would probably become more and more prominent in the future.
Qingwu's mother seemed a little reserved and uneasy at first. After all, although they were once close friends, they had lost contact many years after getting married.
Moreover, the Huo family is prominent, while the Ning family is gradually declining.
However, Qingwu always had a smile on her face, and her steps were light and unhurried. She gently took her mother's arm and led her towards where Mrs. Huo was.
"It's Su An. We haven't seen each other for a long time!" Mrs. Huo smiled and her voice was clear and cheerful, as if she was meeting old friends who had not seen each other for many years.
When Qingwu's mother heard her former maiden name being called, a hint of shyness appeared on her face, but it was soon replaced by joy.
Qing Wu stepped forward gracefully, bowing slightly in greeting, her movements elegant and appropriate: "Qing Wu greets Madam Huo."
When she raised her head, her beautiful eyes, as clear as water, stared at Mrs. Huo in front of her sincerely and curiously.
Although Mrs. Huo was already middle-aged, time did not seem to have left many traces on her face.
Although her skin was not as delicate as snow as that of a young girl, it was still delicate and smooth; her long, shiny black hair was carefully combed and tied into an exquisite bun, with a few warm pearls dotted on it just right, making her look more noble and elegant.
Upon closer observation, one can discover that Mrs. Huo's eyes are deep and wise, revealing a calmness and composure after having experienced many hardships. Occasionally, one can catch a glimpse of her courage and determination on the battlefield in the past.
Her every move and gesture exudes the heroic spirit of a former female general, yet retains the gentle grace and elegance of a lady from an aristocratic family today.
Such elders will definitely like the sincere and generous younger generations.
At the same time, Mrs. Huo's attention was also attracted by Qingwu.
The girl is graceful and elegant, like a lily blooming in the breeze, fresh, refined and elegant.
Even though her face was covered with a thin veil, her delicate features were still faintly visible. She must be a beauty.
Especially the pair of beautiful eyes exposed, like a pool of crystal clear, sparkling spring water, pure, flawless, bright and moving, as if just one glance at it would make people feel happy involuntarily.
Although Qingwu was wearing a simple and elegant dress at this time, it could not conceal her graceful and elegant figure at all.
She has a graceful figure and beautiful lines, and she exudes an innate elegance in every gesture. When she bows, every movement is smooth, natural and just right, showing the elegance of a lady from an aristocratic family.
Her voice is also clear and pleasant, revealing the intelligence and cultivation of a young lady from a noble family. While listening, people are unconsciously attracted by her charm.
Mrs. Huo's eyes flashed with undisguised admiration. She turned to look at Qingwu's mother with a smile and asked softly, "Is this your daughter? I never thought she'd grown up so quickly. Time flies."
Her heart suddenly trembled, and her eyes fell on the other person involuntarily. She asked softly, "Are you engaged?"
Qingwu's heart skipped a beat.
Qingwu's mother, standing nearby, smiled and replied softly, "She just got engaged to the young master of Anguo. That's why I brought her here to pray and ask the Bodhisattva to bless her with a smooth and happy marriage."
Hearing this, Mrs. Huo couldn't help but sigh softly, making it difficult to tell whether it was regret or some other complex emotion.
The prince of Anguo?
Mrs. Huo found a handsome young man from the corner of her memory.
She couldn't help but frown slightly. It seemed that the young master looked a little too weak.
You know, as a female general who once fought bravely on the battlefield, Mrs. Huo has never had any interest in those gentle and weak men.
In her eyes, a real man should be resolute, courageous and strong.
Indeed, there is an essential difference between women's fragility and men's weakness.
A woman's fragility can sometimes become a sharp sword. It seems soft and weak, but in fact it can overcome hardness with softness, turning indestructible steel into lingering tenderness.
People like Qingwu, although they have a weak figure, have pure eyes and a tenacity.
But a man’s weakness means he lacks masculinity.
How can a man who lacks masculinity fulfill the responsibilities of a good husband? And how can he protect a beauty as delicate as Qingwu?
However, things have come to this point, the two have already been engaged, and as an outsider, Mrs. Huo naturally cannot say much.
Alas! This little girl has just reached the age of marriage, and she has already been engaged so early.
And her son, who was already a young man, could not even see the shadow of a female mosquito around him.
In fact, Mrs. Huo came to the temple this time with the intention of praying for a happy marriage for her son.
It's not good for this son to be too masculine. He only knows how to defend his country every day and knows nothing about love. This is not good either.
This is what is called starting a family and building a career. Now my son has made many achievements on the battlefield and has become a famous major general in the court. This career can be considered a success.
This one should finally be successful, right?
What a pity...
Mrs. Huo couldn't help but look at the girl with her face covered by the veil.
Under the sunlight, the girl seemed to be shrouded in a layer of faint glow, looking particularly beautiful and charming.
She looks like a pretty lady who is well-behaved, sensible, spiritual and gentle.
If only she hadn't been engaged.
Qingwu clearly felt the subtle scrutiny from Mrs. Huo, but her expression remained calm and she showed no emotion at all.
