Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 92
Huo Mingzhu's mind was in a mess, she and her grandmother were the only ones in the room, but she couldn't hear anything, only the horrible darkness and blood.

She even had some doubts, whether the memory of the previous life was just a dream, and now is the reality that has just begun?

Either, just as obedient and obedient as in the previous life, and end up in a sad end, or don't listen to anyone, and have nothing to do with the Pingyang Hou Mansion she wants to protect?
It's really hard to be a human being. In the eyes of my grandmother, does she, Huo Mingzhu, have any status at all?Can she refuse this baby-father's proposal from her grandmother?What are the consequences of refusal...

Losing the support of her mother's family made her a truly lonely person from now on?

"Ah Jin? Ah Jin..."

When Huo Mingzhu finally heard a sound, she turned her head and saw her grandmother looking at her with questioning eyes.

Seeing that she finally had a reaction, Mrs. Lin said angrily: "What's wrong with you girl? Grandma talked to you, and you lost your mind."

Huo Mingzhu grabbed Mrs. Lin's hand as if grabbing the last straw, and asked: "Old Ancestor, even though the marriage is a matter of parents making the matchmaker's words, I am willing to give everything for the Pingyang Houfu. To repay the kindness of my uncle and my ancestors. However, my ancestors, Yunxi and I are as close as brothers and sisters. If we want to get married, if we become husband and wife, there will be a layer of separation in our hearts. On the contrary, we are not as close as before, let alone Spreading branches and leaves for the Marquis of Pingyang... What the old ancestor said just now really scared me."

She lowered her head, looking terrified.

"As long as there is a way, grandma won't make things difficult for you and Yunxi..." Mrs. Lin sighed, "Your aunt went to the Huguo Temple yesterday to ask for a lottery and worship Buddha, just hoping that there will be a turnaround, so that the The Marquis of Pingyang survived Yunxi's marriage calamity."

In her previous life, Huo Mingzhu's character was not competitive, especially in front of her relatives, she was extremely tolerant, but this time she did not completely compromise, but suggested: "Old ancestor, Yun Xi was still in the northwest border and never returned to court. However, His Majesty's will has not yet been issued, everything is just the ancestor's speculation, and things may turn around. Moreover, I heard from my father last time that Luo Guogong asked my uncle and my father at the banquet, and asked about me and Yun Whether or not Xi had a marriage contract, my uncle and father denied it at the time, and said it in front of several ministers in the palace."

"Is there such a thing?" Mrs. Lin was extremely surprised.

"You know that my father is a person who won't say some things indiscriminately. I guess, because Luo Guogong mentioned it, father and uncle denied it, so many daughters of gold wanted to marry the Houfu, and His Majesty also wanted to marry him. Marry the princess. If the ancestor said that I married Yunxi since childhood, wouldn't it mean that my uncle and father would be embarrassing, and maybe they would be punished for deceiving the king... The ancestor should think twice before acting what!"

"This..." Mrs. Lin pondered, "If this happens, then your uncle is really confused! Sigh!"

Huo Mingzhu's hand was holding Mrs. Lin's hand. She didn't think her uncle was confused. Based on her understanding of Huo Zhengde, if he wanted to get rid of the control of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion and raise his status step by step, how could he be willing to be wronged? Became the son-in-law of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, and continue to be the father-in-law of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion?
He has two beautiful daughters, and one of them was favored by the Ninth Prince. The story of the Ninth Prince's hero saving the beauty is spread everywhere in Beijing. He saw Baili Zonglu's hospitality to her early in the morning, so why didn't he think about it? ?
Although she was not completely sure of her guess, Huo Mingzhu finally found a way to appease her grandmother. She suggested: "Old Ancestor, don't worry, I'll go back and ask my father, or you can ask my uncle when he comes back, is it right?" This is indeed the case. After that, I will listen to your uncle's orders. If there is really no other way, it is fine for me to marry Yunxi, as long as the Marquis of Pingyang can resolve the crisis."

After hearing the failure of her idea, Mrs. Lin's head immediately ached. She stroked her forehead and sighed: "A family can never work together. Things are unpredictable! Alas! My old bone I still think about my children and grandchildren all day long, and I really can't do what I want."

"Okay, let's not talk about this, so as not to bother Ah Jin." Mrs. Lin returned to her senses after sighing a few times, and said to Huo Mingzhu: "Come on, Ah Jin, help me go for a walk in the garden. It’s not very sunny at this time, but the peonies in the garden are blooming very well.”

"Yes." Huo Mingzhu supported her grandmother's hand without any objection, and when they came out, Suli and Nanny Song also came up to meet them and followed behind them.

"Old Ancestor, Miss bought two brocades for you. They are new styles from the south. They are fresh and beautiful!" Su Yu is indeed more at ease in the Pingyang Hou's Mansion than in the General's Mansion, and she likes to say anything. .

"Oh?" Madam Lin smiled, "I'd like to see what A Jin girl looks like, if it doesn't look good, it must be Sulu's mouth full of hooves."

"Ha ha……"

Everyone laughed, and Huo Mingzhu also laughed.

Suhui alone was not happy, she glared at Huo Mingzhu who was mocking her, bit her lips and said: "The old ancestors are all towards the young lady, they won't listen to us girls, Suhui won't dare to lie anymore."

"Look at Sulu's little hoof's mouth, I can't beat her with my old bones..." Mrs. Lin laughed.

Seeing the old ancestor laughing, everyone had no reason not to be happy, even if they couldn't laugh anymore, they managed to squeeze out a little bit.

A group of people accompanied Mrs. Lin to the garden to admire the peonies, while Du Huo Mingzhu was absent-minded. Although she was smiling on her face, she had many calculations in her heart.She originally wanted to follow the path of her previous life step by step, and it would be enough to be preemptive on the key steps. Who knows that there are many changes in this life, and it is not up to her to decide at all.

If she hadn't made a plan early and waited for the marriage to be granted by the Holy Majesty or the Empress Dowager, or if the grandmother made the decision to marry her, she would have no way to control her own destiny, and could only obey the imperial decree and marry in a loving manner.

In the final analysis, her status is too low.

She is the young lady of the general's mansion, but the name of the young lady of the general's mansion can at most allow her to marry into a good family, so that she can spend her whole life without worrying about food, clothing and wealth. What about her hatred?What about her hate?How to resolve it?
The enemy is too powerful, with a noble status, determined to go to the dragon seat, if she can't stand on the highest place, one day, he will leave her behind, and even her clumsy revenge will be regarded as vulnerable It's a child's play, and it's not painful, it's terrible, and I don't want to be unwilling.

The peonies in the garden are blooming enthusiastically. Since ancient times, peonies have been crowned with beauty and have been regarded as the symbol of empresses. Huo Mingzhu's eyes gradually converged from the distant hole, and his sight fell on the big blooming peonies——

If she wants to stand tall, the first thing is to be the woman next to the emperor. When she kills and makes decisions, she has nothing to fear.In the previous life, didn't Baili Zonglu carry her into the palace to celebrate the dying emperor?
If the death of the old emperor did not happen, Baili Zonglu should call her Huangsao or Niangniang instead. As long as he stays in that position for a day, he will not dare to touch her wantonly.

At the end of the day, what is a good thing?
Power, status, money, everything is a good thing, and everything can help her go to a higher place step by step.

Squatting down in front of the peony bushes, Huo Mingzhu used the excuse of admiring the flowers to carefully think about her plan-the emperor is the Ninth Five-Year Lord, and as the daughter of a general, she has too few chances to meet the emperor, even if she does, , but just glanced at her from a distance, it is impossible for the emperor to look at her...

"Miss, I heard that the Ninth Prince loves this peony flower the most. There is a large peony garden planted in his palace, which is so beautiful that even the Queen Mother and His Majesty once went to enjoy the flowers." Su Ling didn't know where she got the news from. , broke out a sentence that made Huo Mingzhu suddenly enlightened.

Huo Mingzhu seemed to have been hit by a stick, and her mind instantly cleared up. Since the instigator of everything was Baili Zonglu, so what if she started from Baili Zonglu?

Didn't Baili Zonglu play with her heart, then abandon her, hurt her, maim her to death?She also treats him in her own way, let him taste the sweetness and tenderness of love enough, and then let him fall off the cloud to be extremely painful, so that he will never recover from then on...

There should be nothing more pleasant in the world than this.Huo Mingzhu thought.

"Miss, miss, what are you so happy about?" Su Hui tugged at Huo Mingzhu's sleeve and asked strangely.

Huo Mingzhu heard Sulu's question, and endured the excitement and joy of revenge in her heart, she smiled lightly: "I was thinking, if one day I could go to the Ninth Prince's Mansion to see those peonies, it would be great, just Listening to you, I really can't imagine how beautiful the garden is."

When Su Hui heard Huo Mingzhu say this, she quickly jumped over and asked in a low voice, "Miss, did you take the wrong medicine? You actually want to visit the Ninth Prince's mansion?"

"You keep talking there, I don't think it's hard not to hear, besides, I'm a little surprised to hear that the Ninth Prince's hobby is planting flowers." Huo Mingzhu made up lies.

"What's the surprise?" Su Yu asked back.

Huo Mingzhu stared directly at the peonies, even lightly touched them with his fingers, and said with a smile: "Unexpectedly, what kind of person is the Ninth Prince? Tossing these flowers and plants, doesn't it mean that his heart is soft and tolerant? People who love flowers and those who have the mood to take care of flowers will not be bad."

Su Hui was stunned, it was the first time that her young lady had such a high opinion of the Ninth Prince, she almost lost her mind and completely forgot her past self-awareness, Su Hui tentatively said in disbelief: "Miss, you... ...Didn't you get lost and crazy? How did you change so much overnight? No, where is the night? It's clearly only an hour! Did the old ancestor say something to you, say something good for the Ninth Prince? "
