The regent's spoiled princess wakes up

Chapter 65 Bickering
"Honghu?" Zhao Shuang was startled, and her steps slowed down.

In the morning, she did a fortune-telling and found that Mrs. Li had come back, but she and Honghu's hexagrams were in conflict with each other, and she couldn't figure out what the other party was doing. Unexpectedly, Honghu came to the Duke's Mansion!

"Princess?" Seeing her hesitation, Ling Lan thought she was afraid of seeing strangers, and explained, "This girl Honghu is the fiancee of Marquis Yongchang, but for some reason, she seems to have had a rift with Master Hou a few days ago. She can tell fortunes , she is clever, and the Duke's wife likes her very much!"

"Oh?" Zhao Shuang gathered the collar of the cloak, quickly recovered, and asked, "What is she doing in the Duke's Mansion?"

"I heard that he is admiring our Duke and Madam, and I guess it's because of the errand of Marquis Yongchang." Ling Lan said with a soft smile, "I heard that Lord Marquis has sent invitations to many nobles in Shangjing, but no one is willing to reuse him. , and now he is still in charge of a team leader in Dongdaying. The Marquis of Yongchang is suave and suave, knowledgeable but powerless. Dongdaying is a cavalry battalion, and Lord Hou is there...it must be useless. .”

"Civil officials in the capital either take the imperial examination or take Yin'en. He has no foundation and bears the name of a marquis. Naturally, no one will use him." Xiangxia interjected.

Ling Lan secretly admired the words, thinking that the maids around the eldest princess are indeed extraordinary, and they are quite knowledgeable about these court affairs.

Zhao Shuang didn't answer, but only asked, "What did Mrs. Guo say?"

"Madam Guo seems to like Honghu very much, and she also said that she would invite Marquis Yongchang and Miss Honghu to have a banquet together some other day!" Ling Lan said, and they had already arrived at the door of Mrs. Li's main house, so they lifted the curtain and looked inside. A voice came through, "Ma'am, the princess is here."

"Shuang'er! I just mentioned you, and you came here!" Seeing Zhao Shuang, Li smiled and waved to her.

"Little girl Honghu, see Your Royal Highness Princess." A girl in a pink dress sat beside Li Shi. When the girl saw someone coming, she got up and saluted, and quickly sat back beside Li Shi, holding Li Shi's hand and said angrily , "The princess looks so good-looking, Honghu doesn't know what to say!"

Zhao Shuang glanced at her coldly.

She pretended to be an ignorant girl at an old age, and sat down before she was "exempted from etiquette". She didn't understand etiquette at all!
"Mother, who is this little sister?" She pretended not to know, and sat down on the chair opposite.

"This is the fiancee of the Marquis of Yongchang Houfu in Lihua Lane. Her name is Honghu." Mrs. Li winked at the maid beside her, who hurried to serve Zhao Shuang a cup of tea. I am not familiar with the things, and Nian Zai Guo Gongye has some friendship with the old Hou Ye, so he came to visit."

"Yongchang Marquis Mansion?" Zhao Shuang lowered his head and weighed the tea cover, narrowed his eyes and looked at the girl opposite, his thin lips moved slightly, "Honghu?"

"The fiefdom of the Marquis of Yongchang is Xunyang City. Many years ago, when the Duke and I visited Xunyang City, we visited the old Marquis." Li recalled the years when he was young, with a warm spring breeze on his face. He smiled, "Xunyang City is surrounded by mountains and rivers, but it is a good place with beautiful scenery and outstanding people. I heard that the current Lord Hou is also suave and talented..."

"Old lady, don't talk about it!" Honghu pretended to be sad, and sighed, "It's the Marquis who is so good-looking that he attracts bees and butterflies. Not long ago, the engagement banquet in our Houfu became a scene in the capital. What a joke! A diva actually said in front of so many guests that Lord Hou promised her to be his wife, it's pity that I and Lord Hou have known each other since we were young, and I'm not even as good as a diva!"

"Miss Honghu should think about why she can't keep Lord Hou's heart in her youth." Zhao Shuang finished speaking seemingly unintentionally, and took a sip of tea with her head bowed.

The pink-clothed girl on the opposite side looked slightly cold, and said with a fake smile, "The princess taught me a lesson."

"Honghu, don't pay too much attention to it. It's perfectly normal for this man to have three wives and four concubines." Shi Li patted Honghu's hair reassuringly.

"Exactly. What is this?" Zhao Shuang smacked his lips gloatingly.

Honghu's eyes were red with anger, but it was not easy to attack.How could this regent princess take the opportunity to run on herself?
"You are going to be the wife of the Hou Mansion in the future, why bother with a singer?" Li patted the back of Honghu's hand reassuringly.

"Old madam, you don't know! If he just promised that singer a concubine, how could I get angry with him?" The girl in pink said, wiping the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, "But he promised her As the wife, you still lured that woman to the house on the day of the engagement banquet, you said...is it too bullying?"

"This is Master Hou's fault. Next time you bring him here, I'll talk about him!" Li Shi smiled indifferently.

"Madam can't lie to me, next time I will really bring him here." Honghu looked at Li Shi innocently, like a junior who admired her, "When the time comes, you have to talk about him for me!"

"Don't worry!" Li said and laughed again.

Seeing the two getting along well, Zhao Shuang suddenly remembered the scene when Honghu met Chen Yang for the first time, and felt nauseous.

Honghu is used to pretending to be an ignorant girl to win people's hearts, and the people she just met are said to be very close by her.

"By the way, Shuang'er, Honghu is just like you, she knows how to tell fortunes." Li Shi lowered her head and took a sip of tea, suddenly remembered something, with lingering fears in her heart, "She said that I have suffered a catastrophe a few days ago. yes……"

"Oh? The concubine also knows how to tell divination?" Honghu blinked his big watery eyes, and looked up and down the woman in the Chinese dress opposite him, "I don't know what sect the concubine studied under?"

"No sect, no sect," Zhao Shuang cast a sideways glance at her, rolled his eyes and said, "You can learn without a teacher."

The girl in pink was stunned for a moment, hearing that the Princess Regent was born noble, could it be that she looks down on herself?Why do you roll your eyes at yourself?
"Old madam, have you caught the evil spirit that harmed you a few days ago?" Honghu turned to Mrs. Li again, tugged at her sleeve and said angrily, "Tell me stories, I like hearing interesting things the most. "

"It really is a child!" Li patted the back of her head lovingly, and said with a smile, "I caught it, I heard it is a female ghost with black hair and a face..."

"Who caught that female ghost? It's amazing!" Honghu clapped his hands happily.

Zhao Shuang suddenly got a heart.

"Yes... it was Mr. Cheng, the Shaoqing of Wei Wei's mansion, who used his Tianfang sword... to kill that evil spirit." Remembering Zhao Shuang's instructions, Li Shi pushed the matter to Cheng Qian.

Zhao Shuang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Tianfang Sword?" The pink-clothed girl frowned, and the light in her eyes disappeared.

"You didn't know that when you first came to Shangjing, the Tianfang Sword is an ancient divine sword that can slay demons and eliminate demons. Because it is the ancestral sword of the Cheng family, all cases related to evil spirits in Shangjing City have been handed over to Wei Wei's Mansion." Mrs. Li explained.

"Oh? Then I really want to meet Mr. Wei Shaoqing." A smile spread across Honghu's face, but his gaze was as cold as a sword.

Li patted Honghu's shoulder with a smile and said, "You little girl, why are you interested in these killings?"
