Chapter 27

Concubine Huo looked at her daughter seriously, looked left and right cautiously, and made sure that there was no one else around, before she said: "The late emperor bestowed a marriage, you are not allowed to think or not, don't say angry words. Besides, you have not always liked you Cousin, I have already told me about Miss Lin, so there is nothing to worry about, you don’t need to worry about it.” Although this matter is not easy to deal with, it is impossible for Lin Shu to be able to enter the Palace of Xian Wang because she is a girl from Yuan Kingdom. The daughter had been waiting for Jiang Yu's child since she was a child, and the words of annulling the engagement just now must have been uttered in anger after being wronged in Licheng.

"Mother and concubine, the important matter of marriage is related to the daughter's life. The daughter is unwilling to let it go. Ling Jiangyu is concerned about others now. Even if he enters his mansion and becomes a princess, what's the use of it." My heart suddenly hurt, and I heard my daughter say: "Besides, to say something disrespectful, the emperor is now in his thirties but has no heirs, and the empress dowager intends to let the emperor make him the emperor's younger brother. If he is really honored as a great treasure , within those red walls and green tiles, is it a place for people to live?" Although she remembered from her previous life, she knew very well that the current emperor had never thought of making Ling Jiangyu the emperor's younger brother. There must be a reason to convince the concubine mother to help her, otherwise it is absolutely impossible for her alone to make the empress dowager nod.

More importantly, if she gets together with the Ninth Prince and the others again in this life, even if she doesn't want to, she may attack the Ninth Prince's sweetheart for other reasons in the future, and end up being infamous for the rest of her life.She is no longer the silly girl who loved her cousin back then, why bother to be so entangled, it is better to let go early, have a few years of stability, and watch that stinky dude grow into the indomitable Lord who guards the battlefield in her memory, It's not in vain for her to come back to life again.

Concubine Huo didn't know what her daughter was thinking in her heart, but when she heard her daughter's words, she immediately fell silent, thinking of the recent rumors in the court about "the Nine Princes are envoys to Yuanguo, the merits are in Sheji, and the image of a real dragon is the heir apparent" Rumor has it that there have already been many memorials for seals in the court, and even the Imperial Army is ready to move.Wei Guogong's mansion and Ling Jiangyu were in the same situation a few years ago, and she didn't know what the queen mother and the emperor were planning. One wrong step in the court would be smashed to pieces.He raised his hand and brushed the tassel hanging around Huo Hanyan's neck, with pity in his eyes, "Are you really thinking about it? You have to understand that if Ling Jiangyu really ascends...you are the respect of the mother of the country, the respect of one person under ten thousand superior."

Huo Hanyan shook her head with a bitter smile on her lips.

"My daughter thinks very clearly. My daughter doesn't covet this false name. She just embarrasses her father and mother." Huo Wangfu and Xian Wangfu have been standing together in the court hall for many years. The layout of the hall may be affected.

"Silly boy, your father is not used to court affairs. Although he agrees with Ling Jiangyu in terms of foreign opinions, he is not on the side of establishing an heir." Huo Wangfei smiled lightly: "If you really make up your mind , your father and I will naturally think of something for you, you can relax, don't think too much, and never tell others before the matter is finalized, understand?"

Huo Hanyan saw her mother's gentle and indulgent appearance, her heart ached and she knelt down beside her mother's feet, resting her head on Princess Huo's knee, the satin of Yuelan brocade was soft and warm.Thinking of the wrong things she did back then, and the opportunity to do it again now.She couldn't help closing her eyes and smiling, thanking God, how lucky to have such a father and mother.He muttered to himself, "Mother Concubine, thank you."

Princess Huo gently stroked Huo Hanyan's cheek, and looked down at her well-behaved daughter. "The concubine mother only wishes to have a good man who loves Hanyan, who can protect you and love you for the rest of my father and concubine mother's life."

By the time Huo Wang returned to Minghui Hall, it had already fast forwarded to midnight.If the covenant signed by the Yuan Kingdom went smoothly, it would be enough for the border town to recuperate for more than ten years, and the people would be able to stay away from the suffering of the war and live in peace and contentment, but the annual coins would be a waste of the national treasury.Now the border town is only guarded by Mo's army, King Yun's Flying Eagle Cavalry, and Wei Guogong's border town army. The huge military pay every year is already a big burden on the treasury, and it is even more unthinkable if there is a war.In recent years, natural disasters have continued, the people's harvests are worrying, and bandits are emerging in endlessly. If taxes are imposed on the people, it will be even more miserable.

The candles were lit all year round in the house, King Huo couldn't help smiling knowingly, as if all the fatigue had disappeared.Pushing open the door, she saw Concubine Huo holding a semi-finished robe, with her head down, outlining the pattern on the corner of the robe with an embroidery needle as thin as a hair, and rubbing her eyes from time to time.

"Keep your eyes carefully, you don't have to wait for me at this late hour." Although Huo Wang was a bit rough outside, he tried his best to be gentle with his family.

Concubine Huo put down the things in her hands, walked forward with a smile and took off his coat for him to hang in the house, then walked to the table, took the ginseng soup from the small stove and put it within easy reach of King Huo. "How can I sleep well if you don't come back?"

Huo Wang's face suddenly burst into a smile, and he picked up the soup cup and drank it in one gulp. "What did you mother and daughter talk about today? Tell me too."

"Do you want to listen to my little daughter's thoughts?" Concubine Huo pretended to blame, walked to the vanity mirror and sat down, took off the pearls and emeralds on her head, and let her hair hang down.Thinking about today's events, the hand combing her hair couldn't help but pause, thinking about how to tell the prince what Cai Hanyan said just now.

Huo Wang was a little careless and didn't notice his wife's strangeness. Instead, he took the comb from Huo Wangfei and carefully took care of the black hair behind Huo Wangfei. He opened his mouth and said: "The emperor announced me to enter the palace today. Apart from the peace talks with the Yuan Kingdom, there is actually the marriage between Han Yan and the Xian Wang." When Huo Wang talked about this, he began to frown, slightly angry.

Concubine Huo felt that the people behind her stopped moving, turned around and held Lord Huo's hand, and said worriedly: "What's the matter? But something happened?" Normally, the prince called Ling Jiangyu by name, why did he change his name now? Something happened in the palace too.

Lord Huo patted his wife's hand comfortingly, motioning for her to let go.He stroked his wife's soft and cold hair and said slowly.

"When I left the palace, the emperor sent Eunuch Chen to inform me privately that the virtuous king begged the emperor to accept a woman from the Yuan Kingdom." King Huo's eyes were solemn and serious.If it hadn't been for the fact that his temper has accumulated a lot over the years, he would have gone to the Xian Wang's mansion to whip him a few times. This concubine is already thinking of taking a concubine before she enters the family, which is simply out of place.
