Chapter 30 Wrong Meaning
Huo Huaiyu was finally able to meet with Baili Zonglu and be alone with him. Although there were a few guards behind her, her dream was finally fulfilled. In addition, this was originally Huo Mingzhu's gift of friendship. She was somewhat relieved to be able to take away the most important guest.

"My lord, although Huaiyu was born in a boudoir, I have heard my father mention your extraordinary martial arts many times. It is a great fortune to see my lord today!" Huo Huaiyu whispered as he walked.

He Fang and Xie Ming looked at each other and raised eyebrows at each other. It seemed that the eldest lady of the Huo family didn't care much about the prince, but the second lady was a delicate and wonderful person, so she was flattering the prince in disguise.

Baili Zonglu was only focused on walking, but his mind was still on the front hall. Hearing Huo Huaiyu's words, he stopped shaking the folding fan in his hand, and replied very bored: "Second Miss Huo is serious."

"Not to mention seriousness, the prince has broken the Mobei Tartars this time, and let the people live and work in peace and contentment. The people in the whole of Shangjing and even the whole of Dayong are full of praise for you. Although Huaiyu has never visited the people, the daughter in the boudoir is a It's true to say that you admire the prince like a god." Huo Huaiyu continued to praise, with a pair of watery eyes that were extremely serious.

When Baili Zonglu heard this, he stopped for a while, never looked at Huo Huaiyu's phoenix eyes, and finally looked at her. He raised the corners of his lips and asked: "All the daughters in the boudoir admire this king like a god. ? Your sister too?"

Huo Huaiyu didn't expect him to ask this question, so he just stayed there, answering yes is not good, and answering no is not good, but fortunately Huo Huaiyu reacted quickly enough, biting his lip, looked at Baili Zonglu aggrievedly and said: "My lord Maybe it's because I don't know, but my sister has a cold temper. She used to stay in the border town for nearly ten years, and it's rare for her to go back to Beijing once. Let alone me, even my father and mother don't talk much. Although we are sisters , is not the same temperament, the prince should also be able to see it. Even if my sister admires the prince in her heart, she may not want to say it."

After Huo Huaiyu finished speaking, she waited for Baili Zonglu's answer, she was really annoyed, why the Ninth Prince was with her, but the topic couldn't be separated from her sister.

Baili Zonglu listened, thoughtfully, tapped the palm of his left hand lightly with a fan, seemingly unintentionally said: "Border town... ten years..." He raised his hand again, pointing to the depths of the corridor: " Miss Huo Er, continue to lead the way, although the back garden of the General's Mansion does not need to be in the palace, it is also unique and elegant, which shows that the general's wife has always taken good care of it."

Huo Huaiyu's anger flew away in an instant, praising her mother was tantamount to praising her, Huo Huaiyu carried her skirt and led Baili Zonglu up a stone arch bridge, pointing to the most beautiful garden full of thousands of flowers Said: "My lord, that's my residence, 'Zhuoyu Pavilion'... Every spring, there will be many butterflies flying there. Empty, come and take a look."

Baili Zonglu nodded: "Okay." His eyes turned to a courtyard where the stream meanders.

Huo Huaiyu noticed it and quickly introduced: "Oh, that's my sister's residence, 'Chenxiang Garden'. My mother said that it is the cleanest place, suitable for my sister to recuperate. There are many plum blossoms planted in the yard, and every winter, the fragrance is very fragrant."

Baili Zonglu looked at the cold courtyard and the gurgling stream, which looked like a scene in a painting. After hearing Huo Huaiyu's introduction, he praised: "Winter comes earlier than spring."

When he spoke, the corners of his lips were smiling, causing Huo Huaiyu to look at him and then at Chenxiangyuan and his Zhuoyu Pavilion. He didn't understand what the Ninth Prince meant for a long time. What does it mean that winter comes earlier than spring?

After further investigation, Baili Zonglu was already walking along a small path, so she had no choice but to follow, and the guards such as He Fang and Xie Ming followed closely behind.

After walking around for a while, Baili Zonglu basically understood all the scenery of Huo's house. Huo Huaiyu took him to the front hall. What did the newly named Great General King of His Majesty say?After all, she didn't dare to be too eager for quick success, thinking that there would be opportunities in the future, so she suppressed the urgency and anxiety, and still walked on the road pretending to be weak and obedient.

Baili Zonglu walked for quite a while, and his opinion of Huo Mingzhu became a little bit better in his heart. Suddenly, he saw a girl in front of him rushing over, and hurriedly called: "My lord, my lord..."

"Sulu, why are you in such a panic? How about disturbing the prince?" Huo Huaiyu stood in front and asked dissatisfied.

Baili Zonglu recognized Sulu, pointed the fan over and asked, "You... are Miss Huo's girl?"

Sulu has a carefree personality and a loud voice. She has always regarded Baili Zonglu as her savior, Dayong God of War. Seeing that Baili Zonglu recognized her, she didn't even care about Huo Huaiyu's questions, and hurriedly saluted Baili Zonglu : "My lord, your memory is really good! The lives of the servant and the lady are all saved by you, the lord. If it weren't for you, the servant and the lady would have been buried in a foreign land. Hehe, the servant and the lady are very grateful to you!"

What other people say doesn't count, even what Huo Mingzhu's sister said doesn't count. Now that her close girl said it herself, Baili Zonglu felt much better immediately, and the dissatisfaction with Huo Mingzhu basically disappeared. , his phoenix eyes are rarely bright: "You girl can talk. You came to find me in a hurry, why?"

His waist was straight, he was dressed in a black brocade robe, and his tone was soft, which could be heard by the guards behind him.

Su Hui still had that nympho face, touched her head, and said embarrassedly: "Oh, the banquet is about to start, and I can't find you, my lord, and they are all in a hurry. The lady ordered the slaves to come to the garden to look for it. Found it!"

In fact, it was just a very common sentence, but Baili Zonglu misunderstood it, and he wanted to understand that Huo Mingzhu was in a hurry and asked Su Yu to look for him.

Baili Zonglu was in a good mood, and even the last grievances of anger and distraction were gone. He folded the fan and slapped it handsomely. It's not good to be in a hurry, I really shouldn't be late for Miss Huo's birthday party."

"My lord, please!" Su Li's easy-going face smiled like a flower, and she almost stopped bouncing.

Huo Huaiyu was completely ignored, Baili Zonglu's guards He Fang and Xie Ming wanted to follow up, and it was not easy to leave her alone, so they politely asked: "Miss Huo Er, the prince has gone, and the miss will continue to watch." Landscape?"
