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

Chapter 417 Inviting He Baoning to the Poetry Contest
He Baoning refused repeatedly: "My lord, this is absolutely impossible."

However, Xiao Zhen hugged He Baoning who was on the wooden chair horizontally. He Baoning was picked up suddenly, afraid of falling, his hands unconsciously wrapped around Xiao Zhen's neck, and lowered his head shyly.

Xiao Zhen put He Baoning on the bed and let her sit in his arms, "Is this better?"

He Baoning blushed with embarrassment. Although it was a marriage contract since she was a child, she had never been married after all.

Xiao Zhen looked down at He Baoning's blushing side face, and her heart was beating fast. It turned out that this is how Nephrite feels in her arms.

He Baoning was panting and had a hard time falling asleep, he was so sleepy that he leaned against Xiao Zhen's arms and fell asleep.

It's just that she didn't sleep for a long time, and when she felt a cough, she woke up again.

Xiao Zhen heard coughing and said, "Are you feeling sick again? I'll get you a glass of warm water."

"My lord, just let the servant girl come."

Xiao Zhen fetched warm water and handed it to He Baoning, seeing her wheezing and roaring, felt extremely distressed.

Fortunately, after He Baoning drank the water, he slept soundly for an hour and a half.

When He Baoning woke up, she was afraid of waking Xiao Zhen up, so she tried her best not to cough, but the cough was unbearable, so she still coughed lightly.

After Xiao Zhen woke up, she saw He Baoning's guilty face, "My lord, did I wake you up again?"

Xiao Zhen said: "It's okay, it's time to go to court."

Xiao Zhen put on his clothes and called the maids in the palace to wait for him to wash. As soon as he opened the door, he saw the cold wind blowing into the room, and the snow outside was already thick.

He Bao stared at the snow outside and said, "The snow is so thick. Such thick snow in Hangzhou is very rare."

Xiao Zhen said: "It's also very rare in Luoyang. Although the snow scene is beautiful, I don't know how many people will suffer."

He Baoning comforted Xiao Zhen and said: "Your Majesty is benevolent, now charcoal fires are managed by special officials in the government. Even if it is cold, the common people still have charcoal fires to keep warm."

The person Xiao Zhen admired the most was his own father, and he was very proud to hear He Baoning's praise: "My father is a good emperor, and I will look up to him in the future."

He Baoning saw the cloak brought by the maidservant at the side, so he reached out to take it, put it on Xiao Zhen, and said, "The snow on the road is wet and slippery, the prince should be careful when going up."

Xiao Zhen watched He Baoning stepping up to put on a cloak for herself, and for the first time hated herself for being so tall.

Xiao Zhen looked at He Baoning who was close at hand, even lowered her head, and quickly kissed He Baoning's face, "Drink your medicine obediently, I will return earlier."

Xiao Zhen left after saying that.

Only He Baoning was left to reach out and touch his cheek.

It took more than half a month for He Baoning to recover from the asthma attack this time.

Seeing that it was almost the twelfth lunar month, the Shang Palace Bureau of the Ministry of Industry, Rites, Zhongshu, and Shanggong was extremely busy.

The He family's house was finally repaired, so He Baoning thought about going back to He's house with He Yu.

It's just that He Baoning didn't know how to talk to Xiao Zhen. For the past half month, Xiao Zhen has taken good care of her.

He Baoning waited until Xiao Zhen came to visit him, walked to the door and saluted Xiao Zhen: "My lord, the He family has been repaired, I want to go back with He Yu."

"Why did it get fixed so quickly!"

He Baoning said: "Thank you, my lord, for taking in and taking care of me over the past half month."

Xiao Zhen said reluctantly: "You are still sick, your parents are not here, and He Yu is careless and will not take care of others. How can I rest assured that you will go back to He's house? It is better to stay in the palace. on."

He Baoning said with a slight smile: "My lord, I'm completely cured of my illness, and I'm no longer panting or coughing. There's a maid by my side who will take good care of me, so you can rest assured."

Xiao Zhen had no reason to keep He Baoning, so he had to allow her to go back to He's house.

He Yu doesn't care whether he lives in Wang's Mansion or He's Mansion, He's Mansion is actually not far from Wang's Mansion.

When He Yongdao bought the He family in Luoyang, he specifically picked a house close to the palace, so that He Baoning could have his own place if he was wronged in the palace.

Xiao Zhen accompanied He Baoning back to He's house, and originally wanted to pick on the faults of He's house and let He Baoning continue to live in the palace.

After going in and taking a look inside, he remembered that the He family was incomparably rich, so how could there be any mistakes?
Seeing Xiao Zhen's disappointed expression, He Yu said, "This huge He Mansion is quite infiltrating, why don't you come here and help us warm the house."

Xiao Zhen said: "Since you are kind enough to invite me, but I am not respectful, let's stay here."

Not long after He Baoning moved into the He Mansion, she received an invitation to a poetry meeting. It was the daughter of the Shang Mansion who invited her to attend the Snow Song Poetry Meeting held by her.

Seeing the invitation, He Baoning was extremely troubled. If she declined the invitation, it would appear that she was petty.

But if he went to participate, He Baoning was also afraid from the bottom of his heart to go against a group of unfamiliar Qianjin poems.

He Baoning wanted to discuss with Xiao Ningle, so he went to He Yu's courtyard, and once he entered, he really saw Xiao Ningle.

Xiao Ningle took a rest today, lying on the imperial concubine's couch in He Yu's courtyard, listening to He Yu's recitation.

He Baoning walked up to Xiao Ningle and saluted, "Your Highness."

Xiao Ningle got up lazily and said, "Just call me Huangjie after you've said it."

He Baoning smiled and said, "Miss Huang."

He Yu always felt weird when he heard that his sister was called Huangjie Xiao Ningle.

After being with Xiao Ningle, He Yuke never cared about his age, except for the difference in status, he always felt that Xiao Ningle was more like his sister.

He Baoning gave the invitation to Xiao Ning and said happily: "Sister Huang, the daughter of Shangshu from the Ministry of Rites invited me to participate in the Snow Song Poetry Meeting. I am new here, and I can't refuse the invitation from the daughter of the Shangshufu, but I am afraid that I may not behave properly. I still hope His Highness will give you some pointers..."

How could Xiao Ningle not know what Shang Miao was thinking, and said: "It will be five days from now, then the Japanese Palace will go with you."

He Baoning said repeatedly: "Thank you, Huang Jie."

He Yu listened to He Baoning and said, "Do you want me to go with you that day?"

He Baoning said: "It's all gatherings of thousands of gold, what are you doing alone?"

He Yu said: "You don't like poetry since you were a child. If I go with you, I can help you write poetry or something. You will inevitably be laughed at."

Xiao Ningle glanced at He Yu and said, "With me here, who would dare to laugh at Bao Ning? You are too worried."

……

Shang Miao's Snow Song Poetry meeting this time is very grand.

He invited all the daughters of officials above the third rank in Luoyang City, and the daughters of the Palace Gate Marquis's Mansion.

As soon as this poem meeting was held, many daughters were amazed at Shang Miao's ability.

All the daughters arrived at the Shang Mansion early in the morning.

He Baoning has been waiting in the He Mansion for Xiao Ningle to go with her, but he got the news that Xiao Ningle was leaving the city.

It turned out that the Baishan Hall was collapsed by the snow outside Luoyang City. Now the Baishan Hall is used by the imperial court to relieve the poor and poor.

The collapse of Baishan Hall under the pressure of snow is no trivial matter, Xiao Ningle went to investigate as the prince.

Fu'er said to He Baoning who had specially dressed up today: "Miss, if His Highness is not going, do we still have to go to the poetry fair?"

It was the first time for her young lady to come to Luoyang. Without His Royal Highness's help, would those Luoyang girls bully her?
