After this day, Huo Yuyan's luck has improved a lot.
The people under him did everything cleanly, and after the poor scholar was chased away by them, he disappeared. He sent someone to investigate, and he knew that the scholar really ran away and hid in the rainy and windy dilapidated house in the country.
And Lou Wanjun went to the West Market twice, and gave up without finding anyone.
Instead, Huo Yuyan made a coincidence. The people under him kept staring at Lou Wanjun's movements, and the design was called Huo Yuyan's encounter several times.
Gradually, Lou Wanjun stopped mentioning the scholar, but was full of him all day long, and took the initiative to lead him to Lin'an.
Huo Yuyan saw all these changes in his eyes.
He knew Lou Wanjun's temperament, and he also believed that he had made it clear about her preferences. Sure enough, she was very easy to get the bait, and now he doesn't need to invite him, Lou Wanjun will take the initiative to find him.
At this time, he needs to do some pushing and pulling.
He maintained that gentle and gentle attitude, not refusing, but not taking the initiative, gentle and detached, as if he really regarded Lou Wanjun as his sister, without any thoughts aside.
Lou Wanjun gradually became anxious.
She couldn't hide things on her face, and gradually, her anxiety and eagerness became apparent.
Huo Yuyan looked in his eyes, but didn't change his expression.
Until this day.
Lou Wanjun happily told him that the lotus in the West Lake was blooming, and wanted to take him to see it with him. Huo Yuyan said that there are some trivial things to be busy, and he has been retiring for two days before accepting Lou Wanjun's invitation.
Lou Wanjun rented a painting boat on the West Lake and sat down by the window with Huo Yuyan.
The two talked for a while, Lou Wanjun had always been drunk, not drinking, and talking a little absent-mindedly. After a while, the little eunuch next to Huo Yuyan went out to pour tea, Lou Wanjun hesitated for a while, and finally spoke.
"I remember... You have twenty-seven now, right?" she asked.
Huo Yuyan's heart moved slightly, her face didn't show up at all, and she smiled gently: "Yes. It's really a time for Baiju to pass. When I wanted to come to meet my sister Wanjun, I was only a teenager."
Lou Wanjun squeezed both hands together and squeezed awkwardly.
"Then your father didn't urge you to marry a wife?" she asked.
Huo Yuyan smiled gently after hearing the words.
Lou Wanjun immediately became anxious: "What are you laughing at!"
Huo Yuyan straightened his expression and joked just right: "My sister asked like this, but already has a sweetheart?"
Lou Wanjun blushed, as if being stepped on a sore foot.
"I'm just asking!" she said anxiously.
Seeing her appearance, Huo Yuyan smiled again.
"Naturally it was urged." He smiled gently and said. "However, I've been reluctant to do so, and there is nothing he can do about it."
"Why?" Lou Wanjun blurted out.
Huo Yuyan raised his eyes to look at her, his eyes a little deep.
There was a moment's silence, until Lou Wanjun lowered her head a little awkwardly.
"One thing, my body is a drag on whoever girl I marry." He said. "Second, the girl I like is not the young lady in Yecheng who doesn't get out of the gate."
Lou Wanjun immediately raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes flashing, as if there was light.
"What?" Huo Yuyan pretended to be puzzled.
Lou Wanjun was silent for a moment, and asked with some difficulty: "Then...what do you like?"
Huo Yuyan looked out the window, his gaze far away, as if a little yearning.
"I like the kind of free and enthusiastic woman." He said softly, and this tone sounded extremely affectionate. "Women like that have always been just and arbitrary. Xu has been accustomed to following the rules since I was a child. Seeing such a girl, I always yearn for it."
After speaking, he looked at Lou Wanjun and smiled helplessly.
"But... As a prince, I think so. It's always an extravagant hope. I carry the grassland on my shoulders. Not only can I not be presumptuous, but naturally, I can't be improper in my marriage."
"But I..." Lou Wanjun blurted out.
Her voice stopped abruptly, and Huo Yuyan's voice also stopped abruptly.
The two looked at each other, and none of them spoke for a while.
Huo Yuyan smiled faintly when Lou Wanjun was embarrassed.
"Sister Wanjun." He said. "Do you feel that the woman I just said is very similar to you?"
Lou Wanjun opened her mouth and made no sound.
Huo Yuyan smiled helplessly.
"But I also know that Uncle Lou is from Nanjing, and now that he is loyal to Huo Wujiu, he won't be used by me anymore. I don't want Uncle Lou embarrassed, so it's better to be brothers and sisters for you and me."
With that, he raised his head and looked at Lou Wanjun seriously.
"These days, I am also hesitating, but two days ago, I have made up my mind. Sister Wanjun, my mind, you only need to know it. Even if you are the elder brother, I can protect you forever. ."
He saw Lou Wanjun's eyes turn red.
After a while, she choked up and said, "But, why didn't you ask me what I thought?"
Huo Yuyan didn't speak for a while.
He heard Lou Wanjun continue: "You are a well-known prince. Since my father has returned to Beiliang, he did not say that he did not listen to your orders, but instead followed Huo Wujiu's principles. Although these 300,000 horses are not too many, they are not too many. I can be your backing. And even though I'm only a girl, I can still speak for such a thing."
While talking, the ship has gradually docked.
Lou Wanjun stood up suddenly, her eyes burning, looking at Huo Yuyan.
"... Brother Huo, wait for me." she said.
After speaking, she turned around, and when the boat hadn't docked, she strode over and stepped onto the shore of the lake, striding far away with a determined and resolute attitude.
Huo Yuyan sat in the same place for a moment, showing a faint smile.
He picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly.
The fish was hooked, and it was done.
On the other end, Lou Wanjun, who turned a corner and walked out of Huo Yuyan's field of vision, stood still, showing disgust, rubbing his arms.
Not only to relieve the pain that was pinched to shed tears just now, but also to rub off the goose bumps on that arm.
Huo Wugui is all to blame. She thought.
Arranging such a strenuous errand for her, Huo Wujiu was taking advantage of the fisherman's profit. Instead, he let her act against Huo Yuyan, and the tooth roots were exhausted.
—
In these days, Huo Wujiu knew everything about Huo Yuyan's movements and circumstances.
Isn’t it all right? Jun Lou Wan is straight-tempered and can't handle Huo Yuyan, let alone confront him face to face.
Every time before she saw Huo Yuyan, Huo Wujiu got the news, and she explained to him in advance how to deal with Huo Yuyan.
Huo Wujiu's proficiency and understanding of Huo Yuyan made Jiang Suizhou a little dumbfounded.
Until this day, as soon as Lou Wanjun left the West Lake, Huo Wujiu's people brought back news about Lou Wanjun and Huo Yuyan. With such an excellent result, Jiang Suizhou couldn't help but re-examine Huo Wugui.
This look made Huo Wugui a little uncomfortable, and he jumped up and fished him into his arms.
"What expression?" Huo Wugui said dissatisfied.
Jiang Suizhou sighed.
"I'm just thinking, when you were in the palace, you were not given a chance to fight with other concubines. It's just a shame." He said.
Huo Wujiu's eyes turned bad.
"Say what?" His tone was threatened.
Jiang Suizhou made him toss for a while last night, and at this time he dared not provoke him again. He quickly changed his words and said, "That means you have a plan and can calculate."
"What's the problem?" Huo Wujiu snorted and took the secret letter from Jiang Suizhou's hand. "He just thought he had a brain? It's just that others don't bother to care about him."
He looked like he had raised his tail to the sky.
Jiang Suizhou smiled straight at the sight.
Huo Wujiu laughed at him for a while, until he was a little annoyed by his smile, and he turned over and had to toss him again, that Jiang Suizhou quickly stopped his smile.
"However, Miss Lou's plan is almost done there, can we do something?" he said.
Huo Wujiu kissed him twice and said, "Wait two more days."
Sure enough, a few days later, the city of Lin'an was not peaceful.
Lou Yue actually started this upset. Since surrendering to Huo Wugui, Lou Yue has always followed Huo Wugui's orders, but these days, they are strangely tight.
Lou Yue began to disobey Huo Wujiu's command, and even started to turn against him.
At first, it was only Huo Wujiu who arranged for Lou Yue to guard a weakly guarded county, but Lou Yue felt that it was remote and difficult to do, and he also disliked that Huo Wujiu's allocation of food and payment was not enough, so he went in front of Huo Wujiu. He pressed his face and said bluntly that he would not go.
As a result, the two had a big fight in the army.
Huo Wujiu was furious and reprimanded him for not following the military order, but Lou Yue retorted: "Military order? I only know to obey the emperor's order. That place is so remote, why don't you let others guard it? Besides, did the emperor speak , Did His Royal Highness speak? As long as His Royal Highness speaks, I will lead the soldiers to guard!"
Huo Wujiu slammed the door and walked out.
After this, it was Huo Yuyan's two parties who calmed down the conflict between them.
And this anomaly, gradually came to the cause.
I heard that Lou Yue was unfaithful to Huo Wujiu because of his daughter Lou Wanjun. I heard that Lou Wanjun seemed to be eyeing the position of the princess, and when he went back, he quarreled with her father, seeming to want to use the 300,000 army that originally belonged to Nanjing as a dowry.
This dowry, naturally, can't let Huo Wujiu dispatch it at will.
For a time, rumors spread. Huo Yuyan didn't move at all, as if he hadn't heard it at all, but Lou Wanjun stubbornly lost his temper several times because of this in the army.
It can be regarded as a matter of fact.
Huo Yuyan was happy to see the result.
After all, in this rumor, he has always been a passive identity, and everything is done by Lou Wanjun and Lou Yue. And this rumor naturally had the effect of disturbing the military's mind, and it also caused the generals in the army to re-examine the identities of him and Huo Wujiu.
After that, it became clearer who was orthodox and who should be listened to.
Huo Yuyan sat and reaped the benefits, just waiting to find the right time, casually give Lou Wanjun some sweetness, let her persecute Lou Yue, and actively proposed to his father to marry him.
Lou Wanjun is the daughter of Nanjing's traitor, and his father would not allow her to marry himself as a princess. It just so happened that he didn't want to exchange the position of the princess concubine easily. At that time, he showed a few involuntary helplessness, and Lou Wanjun was willing to be his concubine.
Huo Yuyan also felt relieved that the big event was about to happen. As it was almost fifteenth, he pretended to invite Huo Wujiu to gather together in the palace on the night of fifteenth.
—After all, before the big event is done, we still have to comfort him.
Huo Wujiu readily agreed.
Therefore, on the fifteenth, before the sky was dark, the palace where the banquet was held in the palace became lively. Palace people come and go, the hall is brightly lit, and exquisite fruits and dishes are generally sent in.
Huo Yuyan was still stuck in time for the banquet, and it was long overdue.
When he came, there were already people in the seat. Because it was a family banquet, there were not many people in the entire banquet hall, except for Huo Wujiu, there were only a few of his favorites.
but…
Huo Yuyan glanced across the hall, only to find that the uninvited guest had come again.
… King Jing, who is still lingering, is sitting beside Huo Wujiu, his eyes are like waves of water, and he smiles at him.
When they met their eyes, they heard King Jing speak.
"His Royal Highness is late." He said.
"Some trivial matters, I caught my legs and feet." Huo Yuyan glanced at him lightly, turned away, and responded with a light smile.
But seeing that King Jing had no bones, his body softened, he leaned against the chair behind him, smiled lazily and charmingly, but his mouth was reluctant and unforgiving.
"It's the Lou's girl who tripped her legs and feet?" He asked with a smile. "I just don't know. Why don't you see the prospective princess of Lou's family at a family dinner today?"
