After the divorce, I became the Lord of the Six Houses

Seven years later, at the wharf of Hangzhou City.

He Yu had been looking forward to Xiao Zhen's arrival at the pier early on. Ever since he received a letter saying that Xiao Zhen would come to study at the Gu Family Academy in Hangzhou City, He Yu had been looking forward to Xiao Zhen's early arrival.

In the distance, He Yu saw the big ship approaching, and saw the handsome young man on the deck, passing by again and again.

After many years, the letters between the two never fell.

After Xiao Zhen got off the boat, seeing He Yuzhi's face, she said, "You look more and more beautiful."

He Yu secretly compared his height with Xiao Zhen, and seeing that he was a little shorter, he asked, "What did you eat to grow up? How did you grow so tall?"

Xiao Zhen was very satisfied and said: "Now that I am taller than you, you have to call me brother."

He Yu snorted softly: "I don't call it, you and I were born on the same day."

Xiao Zhen smiled lightly, no matter whether He Yu would like to call him elder brother or not, after he married He Baoning, He Yu would call him brother-in-law no matter what he said, how could a brother-in-law be as fussy as He Yu?

He Yu looked behind Xiao Zhen and asked, "Why did you come here alone? Your sister didn't send you here?"

Xiao Zhen said: "I'm seventeen years old, and I'm going to marry a wife next year. My sister was recently... urged to get married by the people in the village. How can I have time to see me off?"

He Yu said: "I just said that your sister has to change her temper. With such a fierce temper, who would dare to marry her? But if she is willing, I still don't mind marrying her now. It is worth hearing you call brother-in-law .”

Xiao Zhen snorted softly, "Just stop thinking about it, you are not good enough for my sister!"

He Yu was unconvinced and said: "My family is rich, and my appearance is not bad. My brother-in-law is still His Royal Highness King Jing, so how can I not be worthy of your sister?"

When Xiao Zhen heard He Yu talking about her brother-in-law, she smiled and said, "Has your sister ever talked to you about His Royal Highness King Jing?"

He Yu said: "Why are you inquiring about this? My sister knew from birth that she was going to enter the royal family. You are not allowed to hit my sister's thoughts!"

Xiao Zhen laughed secretly in his heart, he didn't need to think about it at all, but in the city of Hangzhou, Xiao Zhen really looked forward to his princess's face even more.

When Xiao Zhen came to Hangzhou City, Xiao Ningle had already entrusted Gu Yu to buy Xiao Zhen a three-entry house near the college.

He Yu sent Xiao Zhen to Sanjin's house and said, "Is your family well-off? This Sanjin's house near the college is not cheap."

Xiao Zhen said: "My father-in-law's family is very rich."

He Yu said: "Actually, you don't even need to buy a house, just live with me. My He family has a lot of houses, so you and I can have a companion."

Xiao Zhen wanted to live in the He's house, but he and He Baoning's marriage date was set for next year, and now he was going to live in the He's house in an open and honest manner, and He Baoning's reputation was not very good.

"I'm pretty good here."

He Yu helped Xiao Zhen pack his bags, and accompanied Xiao Zhen to the Gu Family Academy.

Seeing Xiao Zhen who came forward, Gu Yu didn't dare to recognize him for a while, "Zhen'er, you have grown so tall."

Xiao Zhen said: "Brother Gu Yu."

Listening to Xiao Zhen's address, He Yu asked, "You know my mentor?"

Xiao Zhen smiled and said: "Gu Yu is the elder brother I have known since childhood, you are Gu Yu's apprentice, so do you have to call me uncle?"...

Gu Yu knew that Xiao Zhen wanted to hide his identity from He Yu, so he didn't expose him.

He Yu snorted at Xiao Zhen, "You are so beautiful, you are still my uncle! You come to the academy to study, but it is different to call my master your master, you are still my junior brother."

Seeing He Yu's words, Gu Yu said: "He Yu, Xiao Zhen is here to listen, not to worship me as a teacher, don't be rude to Xiao Zhen."

He Yu didn't dare to make any mistakes in front of Gu Yu, but just gave Xiao Zhen a secret look.

The next day Xiao Zhen took advantage of He Yu's study in the academy, prepared a lot of gifts and visited He's house.

He Yongdao and Qian Lan spent half a year doing business in other places, Xiao Zhen never posted in advance, and He Baoning was the only one in the He family.

He Baoning was in her yard counting the family's expenditures for the last month, when she heard the maid came to report that someone from Luoyang had come to visit, and after He Baoning received the gilded greeting card, her heart beat violently.

He Baoning said to the servant girl: "Go outside to entertain this distinguished guest. Where did the blue wide-sleeve skirt I made go? Find it quickly? And fetch water to freshen up... No, grooming is too slow."

He Baoning was completely at a loss, this was the first time she saw His Royal Highness King Jing.

His Royal Highness Jing Wang is also true, I don't know if the greeting card will be sent sooner, how can she have time to dress up when the greeting card is sent now!
He Baoning took out the vanity mirror, and saw that her description was decent, but she hadn't put on makeup yet, so she hurried to the main room.

Xiao Zhen was in the main room of the He family, looking at the Rijin Wanjin hanging on the plaque, he smiled lightly, this was the first time he saw someone using these four characters as a plaque.

But the He family is indeed making a fortune every day, and the rare and precious furnishings in this hall are not inferior to those in the palace.

"He Baoning, the daughter of the people, pays homage to His Royal Highness King Jing."

When Xiao Zhen heard the woman's voice, her face turned red, and she turned her head to see the half-full body He Baoning. The two siblings, He Baoning and He Yu, did not look alike.

The beauty of the two is different. He Baoning's skin is fair and watery, her almond eyes are gentle, and she looks very good-looking without makeup on her face. It can be called a lotus.

Xiao Zhen's face became more and more red and said: "There's no need to be too polite, this king came here rashly and didn't bother you?"

He Baoning bravely raised his head, saw that Xiao Zhen's face was redder than his own, lightly pursed his lips and said, "Don't bother me, it's just that my parents are out on business, so I'm afraid they won't be able to come back soon. You have neglected the prince."

Xiao Zhen said: "Don't be negligent, I came to visit without saying hello. This is a gift I brought from Luoyang. This is a gift from my parents. This is what my sister entrusted me to give you."

After Xiao Zhen finished speaking, he took out a pair of gold bracelets inlaid with rubies and emeralds from a box, and handed the gold bracelets to He Baoning, saying: "I gave you this."

He Baoning took the gold bracelet with both hands and said, "Thank you, my lord."

He Baoning was really shy, so she said to Xiao Zhen: "My lord, please sit down and taste the freshly picked tea from our tea mountain. I will order someone to call my younger brother back. My younger brother is the same age as the lord..."

Xiao Zhen said repeatedly: "No need, in fact, this king has known He Yu for a long time, but he doesn't know that I am King Jing, and I hope you can hide it for me, Xiaoxiao."...

He Baoning hasn't been called Xiaoxiao for a long time, and when she heard Xiao Zhen call her baby name, she blushed to the tips of her ears.

Xiao Zhen also knew that her title seemed inappropriate, so she hurriedly mentioned He Yu and said, "He Yu and I met in Luoyang Academy, but I didn't know that he was your younger brother at that time, and I was afraid that my identity would be revealed. I never told him about the trouble.”

He Baoning said: "If my brother offends the prince, please forgive him."

Xiao Zhen said: "He is your younger brother, that is, my younger brother. This king will not argue with him, but I still want to hide my identity from him for a while."

He Baoning was puzzled and said, "Why?"

Xiao Zhen said: "I want to see his shocked expression when he finds out that I am his brother-in-law."

He Baoning: "..."

When He Baoning saw the servant girl brewing tea, he took the initiative to get up and pour tea for Xiao Zhen: "My lord, this is a new tea from the mountain behind our house, please try it."

Xiao Zhen took a shallow sip and said, "Not bad."

He Baoning smiled and said, "It's good that the prince likes it. I wonder how long the prince will stay in Hangzhou City?"

"Stay for a year, and when the time comes for you and me to get married, I will go back to Luoyang with you."

Xiao Zhen said, "By the way, I haven't told you yet, the Academy of Taishi has calculated that the sixth day of April next year will be a good day for getting married, and it was originally scheduled to be married on this day.

If you feel that it is not appropriate, then let the Taishi Academy choose. "

How could He Baoning dare to say that it was inappropriate: "This day is all arranged by Your Majesty and Empress."

But He Baoning asked curiously, "But won't the lord marry the concubine first? If you have been in Hangzhou for a whole year, wouldn't you be unable to marry the concubine? There is no precedent for marrying the concubine first, right?"
