Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 38
"Miss Biao, please accept the congratulatory gift from General Lin's subordinates!"

Hearing a loud voice, a tall man stood up, with dark skin and the rough appearance of a northerner, as if he had stayed in the military camp for many years.Although he had a cold face, he still spoke respectfully to Huo Mingzhu.

Huo Mingzhu naturally recognized him. This was Cheng Shuhao, the captain of the personal guard next to Lin Yunxi, an out-and-out northern man with a strong northwest accent.

"Captain Cheng, may I trouble you to run, how is your cousin?" Huo Mingzhu greeted Cheng Shuhao with a smile.

Cheng Shuhao held the sword by his waist, and said in a deep voice: "The general is in good health, but I was a little worried when I heard that Miss Biao returned to Beijing, so I specially asked someone to bring Yulu, which Miss Biao likes to drink, from the border town, and it happened to be that Miss Biao returned to Beijing. Jiji then sent a congratulatory gift, I don't know if Miss Biao would like it... This bow was made by the general himself, and even the gems and other things on it were inlaid by the general's house. If Miss Biao didn't like it, the general said he would change it again .”

Hearing Cheng Shuhao's tone, he should have repeated Lin Yunxi's words exactly, so Huo Mingzhu stepped forward and stroked the golden bow carefully, the more he looked at it, the more he couldn't put it down, so he simply lifted it up and moved closer look -

Rubies, sapphires, and huge pearls are extraordinarily luxurious. It must take a lot of time just to make this bow, let alone inlay these rare treasures.Yun Xi is busy with official duties, and there is no room for trifling on the battlefield, where did he find the time to prepare her birthday gift?
Holding it in her hand, the golden bow was of moderate weight, the size that Huo Mingzhu could pick up. She couldn't help raising her hand, and pulled the bow into a full moon. As soon as she let go, the golden bow made a buzzing sound, as if it was scratching her ears Gale, quite powerful.

"Good bow!"

Some of the guests cheered.

"General Huo's tiger father has no dog girl! Miss Huo looks weak, but she knows martial arts! No wonder her temperament is outstanding and extraordinary!" Someone praised her.

"Looking at Miss Huo's bow and archery technique, she can be regarded as a strong player. Could it be that Miss Huo is also a woman who does not give in to men?"

For a moment, the entire front hall became lively, almost all surrounding the precious golden bow and Huo Mingzhu.Huo Mingzhu only stood lightly and deftly among the crowd, but for no reason, she was much more special than those women and girls. She had a beautiful appearance, she looked weak, but she was not to be played with.

Now that Huo Mingzhu was mentioned, some people naturally brought the topic to Huo Huaiyu ignorantly, only to hear a guest ask: "Now Miss Huo and Ji, the congratulatory gifts from Ninth Prince and General Lin can be used as a dowry to marry in with Missy?" Husband's family, but I don't know when the second young lady will reach Jiji? I heard that she is only two years younger than the eldest lady..."

As soon as this problem came up, Huo Huaiyu, who had been neglected all this time, finally caught the eyes of others, but it didn't make Huo Huaiyu happy - before Huo Mingzhu returned to Beijing, she could be regarded as the most pampered young lady in the entire General's Mansion, because With the influence of the General's Mansion and Pingyanghou Mansion, who would dare to speak to her like this?

But ever since Huo Mingzhu returned home, she, Huo Huaiyu, was left in unspeakable misery. Whether it was her rites or her martial arts cultivation, others could only occasionally glimpse a shadow of her Huo Huaiyu from Huo Mingzhu's bright light, and clamored because of how the young lady was so powerful. The stunning beauty is a heroine, so I muttered that she should be exactly the same as Huo Mingzhu...

Really hateful!
