Chapter 134
this?
Luo Chaoyan glanced at Huo An. What a naughty kid. Why did he have to find this excuse when there were so many other excuses to choose from? How can I cover up this lie?
Seeing that things were not going right, Huo An lowered his demands and said, "Father, how about I sleep with you? The teacher said that a family should be happy together." The father couldn't monopolize the mother.
Luo Chaoyan nodded in agreement, looked at Huo Jin and said, "My dear, An An has made a lot of progress recently. Let's consider this as a reward for him?"
Huo Jin pursed her lips, looked at Huo An, and finally nodded slightly.
He turned to look at Huo Rui beside him.
Huo Rui shuddered and waved his hands, saying, "Father, my son has grown up. I think it's fine to be alone." Silly An An, you'd better wish you good luck.
After they finished their meal, Huo An happily stayed.
He thought he could play with his mother at night and then sleep together. But when he saw his father bringing a stack of calligraphy copybooks for him to practice, he understood why his brother had looked at him with sympathy.
Huo Jin said calmly, "You can stay here if you want. But you need to study hard. I will teach you something every night. You can practice calligraphy tonight."
Huo An looked incredulous. How could this be different from what he expected?
He looked at Luo Chaoyan with a bitter face.
Luo Chaoyan raised the account book in her hand, looking helpless.
The next day
Huo An returned to Mrs. Huo's yard yawning.
Mrs. Huo had just finished washing up and was a little surprised to see her great-grandson getting up so early in the morning.
She said lovingly, "An An, why did you get up so early today?"
"My father dragged me to do morning exercises early in the morning. It would be strange if I wasn't early." Huo Rui also walked in and said with a smile.
Seeing his brother's face full of gloating, Huo An angrily said, "Brother, you are bad!"
Huo Rui shrugged and said with a smile: "Who told you to be so tactless."
Huo An's face fell, and he said, "I don't want to stay overnight in my mother's yard anymore."
After listening to their complaints, Mrs. Huo finally understood what was going on and felt like laughing.
She rubbed her grandson's head and said with a smile, "Okay, An An, be good, we won't bother with your stingy father."
Huo An smiled when he heard this. whee! My father is a stingy person!
…
That day, Luo Chaoyan was checking the accounts in her own yard.
Lidya Su walked in and said, "Madam, Nanny Song is here."
"She said the old lady asked you to go to her yard."
Luo Chaoyan nodded, put down the account book in her hand, and said, "Let's go."
When she arrived at Mrs. Huo's yard, she saw Mrs. Huo was there too.
She bowed to the two and said, "Grandmother, Mother."
Mrs. Huo smiled and waved at her, saying, "Ayan, come here and see if you like it."
She opened a wooden box and displayed a set of red agate headpieces in front of Luo Chaoyan.
Luo Chaoyan looked at the gorgeous yet elegant headdress and felt a little puzzled. She asked, "Mother, what is this?"
Mrs. Huo smiled and said, "Tomorrow we have to go to the palace to attend the lotus viewing banquet hosted by the Queen."
Luo Chaoyan immediately understood that it was natural to dress formally to attend a palace banquet. But why was it a lotus viewing banquet? This reminded her of an incident in which Huo Rui deliberately plotted against her. Although they have now somewhat reconciled, it is still not a very good memory.
Madam Huo looked at her and warned her, "There are many rules in the palace, and the guards are strict. You should be careful and don't run around and look around."
Luo Chaoyan nodded, "Got it, Grandma!"
Mrs. Huo also told her about the situations of some concubines and princesses in the palace to avoid any mishaps.
Luo Chaoyan listened with great interest. Compared to the relationships between the palaces, she actually wanted to hear more gossip about the emperor's private life.
She was very curious about the queen sitting in the main palace now. She heard that she rose to the throne from a palace maid and had no high-ranking officials or relatives. She didn't have any biological children, and the prince was just registered under her name. I heard that the mother-son relationship between the prince and her was also very ordinary. But in this way she can still sit firmly on the throne of queen, and one cannot help but admire her skills.
Day 2
After Huo Jinchen finished his practice, he returned to the house and saw that Luo Chaoyan had just finished putting on her makeup.
She was wearing a red agate headpiece and a light purple dress, looking particularly bright and beautiful.
Perhaps because he was used to seeing her dressed simply on weekdays, he was dazzled by her gorgeous outfit today.
Fengli and Shulan stood aside, pursing their lips and smiling secretly.
Luo Chaoyan waved her hand at him and said, "My dear, what's wrong with you?"
Huo Jin coughed lightly and said, "No problem!"
Seeing his deep eyes, Luo Chaoyan felt that it was some kind of omen, so she quickly stepped back, chuckled, and said, "My dear, um, grandma is still waiting for me to have breakfast, so I'll go over first."
Huo Jin looked at her and said, "Together."
Seeing that his expression did not allow for rejection, Luo Chaoyan could only nod.
When the two arrived at Mrs. Huo's yard, they saw Huo Rui and Huo An were there too.
The two of them first saluted to Old Madam Huo and Madam Huo.
Huo Rui and Huo An also saluted the two and said, "Father, Mother!"
Huo An fluttered his body and walked to Luo Chaoyan. He looked at her with sparkling eyes and smiled, "Mom, you are so beautiful."
Luo Chaoyan had an expression that said, "You have good taste."
After finishing breakfast, Huo Jin left for the government office to attend to official business. Thinking that this was her first time attending a palace banquet, he couldn't help but give her a few more words of advice, asking her to take good care of herself and be careful of the tricks in the harem.
Luo Chaoyan found that Huo Jin had really changed. He used to be cold and taciturn, but now he looked like a nagging old man.
Huo An thought about the times his father had been mean to him, so he squeezed in between the two of them in a mischievous way.
He raised his eyes to look at his father and said seriously, "Father, don't worry, I will take good care of mother today."
Huo Jin glanced at him indifferently and nodded softly.
Old Madam Huo and Mrs. Huo rode in a carriage, while Luo Chaoyan rode in a carriage with Huo Rui and Huo An.
When they arrived at the palace gate, they saw many women from official families arriving. When they saw Madam Huo, whether they were familiar with her or not, they all greeted her politely.
Old Madam Huo and Mrs. Huo all agreed with a smile.
When everyone saw Huo Rui and Huo An standing next to Luo Chaoyan, they couldn't help but be amazed. They all said that being a stepmother was difficult, but they didn't expect that Mrs. Huo got along so well with her stepchildren.
However, some people think that Xu is just pretending. After all, the Huo family is a well-known family, so they have to put on a good show. But no matter what, they dare not underestimate Mrs. Huo.
So everyone followed her and said hello enthusiastically.
Luo Chaoyan also patiently followed them in greeting. Just when she felt her face was about to freeze from smiling, a few eunuchs walked out of the palace. They first saluted to everyone, and then led everyone towards the Queen's main palace.
