Love Like the Galaxy - Chapter 150

    I haven’t seen each other for five years, and the meaning is very serious. The emperor wanted to reprimand Huo Budo with a straight face and say, “I was wrong at the beginning and now I know it’s wrong.” It’s the sour nose, and I can’t teach anything. He picked up his adopted son with his own hands, just like all the old fathers whose unfilial sons traveled home, only muttering: “It’s good to come back, it’s good to come back…”

    The prince looked at his father and cried with joy, a big stone was put down in his heart, and then he looked around the hall and frowned slightly.

    His eyes first fell on the second prince on the right – how much the prince looked down on his second brother before, how much he respects him now, it is not easy for a person to change, he is reborn It’s especially difficult to make a change, so he has been sitting on the right side of the table with the second prince all these years.

      Hou, I think I have a lot to say, why don’t you two move to the second seat to fulfill the old relationship between the father and the son, Cui Hou?”

    Although this is a question, the current prince is different from his predecessor. He is cold-hearted and powerful. There are not many courtiers who have suffered losses in his hands over the years. The concubine is exquisite in all aspects, not to mention that he has recently fallen into the hands of the prince.

    He immediately got up and laughed: “The prince said that I often reunite with the father emperor, but Zisheng reunites after a long absence, and it should be, it should be!”

    The eldest princess was indignant and was dragged down by her husband by one seat. When the emperor turned his head and found that the eldest daughter and his wife ‘voluntarily’ gave up the seat, he felt very relieved.

    Originally, the maid wanted to give Luo Jitong a seat at the end, but the third princess who was alone and widowed waved to her, Luo Jitong was surprised and sat respectfully over.

    “The concubine didn’t come?” Luo Jitong was a little strange.

    The third princess smiled and said: “He has a small illness today – don’t worry, he is really sick. Our husband and wife are doing well now; we finally know how to be husband and wife.”

    Luo Jitong glanced around: “The fifth princess and the concubine didn’t come?”

    The third princess said: “The couple had another fight a few days ago, and they both scratched their heads and faces. It’s not all right now.”

    Luo Jitong was very surprised, she felt that the palace has changed too much in the past five or six years.

    Let’s not talk about the big things like the easy storage and the easy change, the reckless second prince has become a quiet and stable widower, the fourth prince married a good-tempered princess, and the fifth prince who loves to find fault is now smiling. , the sharp and sharp third princess has grown fat for a full circle, but she has become prudent in her words and deeds. On the contrary, the eldest princess who has always been long-sleeved and good at dancing seems a little unreliable. Now she is looking around with bad eyes, let alone those She couldn’t even recognize the young princes.

    The only thing that hasn’t changed is the second princess couple.

    “…I haven’t thanked the third princess for letting my concubine sit with you.” Luo Jitong raised his glass and thanked him.

    The three princesses respected and said softly, “I’m showing you my love.”

    Looking at Luo Jitong puzzled, she explained, “My mother and my elder brother don’t like me very much. When the father and emperor are here, it’s fine. Now that the third child is in charge, I have to take care of the future. The third child treats Huo Budoubi more than his own brother, and his future is bound to be limitless. I can’t say, I still have things to entrust to you in the future. “

    Luo Jitong shook his hand, half of his cheeks turned red, and a few drops of wine were scattered in his hand. Since she was a child, she has always thought that the third princess is an idiot who does not know how to look at people’s faces. She can’t even pretend. She deserves to be reprimanded by her parents all day long.

    “There will be many more people who will come to show your favor in the future.” The third princess glanced at the eldest princess and her husband intentionally or unintentionally, “Anyway, my mother, mother and brother are considered high-ranking, and some people, Feel more uneasy.”

    “His Royal Highness, concubine, concubine…” Luo Jitong did not expect this change, and was unable to answer for a while.

    “But don’t worry.” The third princess seemed to be talking to herself, “You don’t have any status yet, has Huo Budo promised you anything? Well, it seems that you haven’t. Don’t be in a hurry, take your time, take down Huo Wuxuan first, and enjoy the glory, wealth, wealth and power in the future. If things don’t work out…”

    She looked at Luo Jitong and smiled, “I didn’t say anything when I was just a kid.”

    Luo Jitong was short of breath and stiff.

    The three princesses leaned over and patted her shoulder: “We are princesses, we are born for a lifetime, and there is nothing to wreck. But you are different, you can fight with your looks and wrists. The last fight. General Huo Guang of the previous dynasty, an auxiliary minister of the three dynasties, and the power of the world. I heard that his wife, Huo Xian, was originally a slave without even a surname, but she has the ability to be a woman, tsk tsk, how much has she come from later A prominent lady has to look at her face. You read more than I do, so you should know what I am saying. So Jitong, work hard, work harder, and good things are right in front of you—this is my sincere message.”

    Luo Jitong looked at Huo Budo in front of him as if bewitched. The emperor was talking to him warmly. Cai, even the eldest princess and his wife had to give him their seats… At this moment, her heart warmed like never before.

    Then, she slowly put down the wine, her face returned to normal, and she still respectfully said: “Your Highness the princess is joking, but, my concubine will not hide it from you, my concubine has admired General Huo since childhood, five years ago I met him in the northwest, and seeing that he was scarred and weak, I thought I could take good care of her…”

    “You don’t need to tell me this. What’s the use of moving me, you have to move Huo Busu; the worst thing is to move the father and the third child, and let them all stand on your side “The third princess smiled and said, “In those days, Cheng Shaoshang just coaxed him a few words, and Huo Zisheng was like a passionate person. He wished he could put people in his arms and hurt them. You should learn from others.”

    “…” Luo Jitong forced a smile.

    The three princesses poured their own drinks and looked at her coldly, and smiled with satisfaction.

    In the position of chief, the more the emperor looked at his adopted son, the more sad he became, and his voice became blocked: “You… your hair is white…”

    Huo Budo smiled and said, “It’s just a few hairs on the temples, the border is bitter and cold, this is a common occurrence.”

    “What’s the matter.” Cui Hou, who was beside him, couldn’t help but interject, “I’m there too, why is my hair not gray at all.”

    Everyone looked sideways and saw that Marquis Cui had not changed much from five years ago, the second prince was about to ask why, Huo Budo chuckled: “Uncle Cui, you are a happy event. I’m in good spirits, there have been happy events for five years, and I’ve always been in good spirits.”

    Cui You scolded: “You Shuzi, I’m not feeling well if you don’t spare me!”

    “How do you say that.” The prince asked with a smile, he realized that Huo Budo didn’t want everyone to pay attention to him, and helped to break the topic.

    Cui You laughed and said.

    It turns out that the three Cui family have been very wonderful in the past five years. Except for the first year that he just arrived in the northwest, everyone was in a hurry to take care of him. From the second year, Peach Blossom Luck, like a fluttering moth, was desperately trying to crash into his Cui family gate.

    First, Cui Dalang met a young lady from a local noble family one day. ;As a result, on the day of the wedding, the Oolong incident of ‘sister marrying instead’ happened – it turned out that the little girl’s biological mother died prematurely. The stepmother heard that Cui Hou was the emperor’s confidant, and the Cui family was a hero of the founding of the country, so it went wrong. thought.

    The emperor slapped his leg hard, pointed at his adopted son and laughed and scolded: “Look at how good people are, Cui Dalang was only sixteen at that time, and he has all his wives and concubines!”

    Everyone laughed.

    After marrying the eldest son, Cui Yougang breathed a sigh of relief, who knew that the peach blossom of the second son was more fierce.

    There are many ethnic groups in the northwest. Cui Erlang, who has just grown his Adam’s apple, relied on his mouth full of bells and whistles, and got to know two girls of the Hu ethnicity, one is more bold, loves horseback riding and hunting, the other is romantic, loves listening He tells the story of the talented and beautiful in the Central Plains.

    After getting along for a while, the two girls had a budding heart and at the same time asked Cui Erlang to propose marriage. Cui Hou was also very open-minded and asked his son to ask the two women’s family background.

      He also did not want his daughter to marry a Han Chinese, but when he heard that the daughter of the enemy family was also competing for the position of the bride of the Cui family, the matter of the younger children was immediately escalated to a diplomatic matter that ‘can’t let rivals compare’.

      In addition to the eighteen buckets of mud, Cui Erlang has two wives regardless of priority.

    The second prince was choked and coughed repeatedly, the prince could not laugh and beat his back, the fourth prince sprayed a case of wine, the fourth prince quickly wiped his face, the emperor laughed Can’t tell – he had already reported this matter privately to Marquis Cui, but he didn’t know the details were so cool; anyway, the imperial court’s strategy of restraining the northwestern tribes was ‘to win over the smaller ones to restrain the bigger ones’, and it would not be bad to marry two small clans. .

    Just when everyone thought that the second son of the Cui family had made up for the peach blossoms that his father had missed all his life, Cui Hou’s life also began to be turbulent. A certain time when Cui You was patrolling the border, he encountered a bandit on the road, but there were not many people with him. When he was in danger, he could only escape into the snow-capped mountains with injuries, and was rescued by a poor hunter widow.

    Later Cui You learned that since the man’s death, this woman has had a very difficult life with the elderly and children, but she would not leave the old and young to remarry anyway. Cui You felt that this woman was tenacious and respectable, so he said to her, ‘The position of a wife in my heart has already been filled. If she wants, I will take her as a concubine and help her take care of the elderly and children’ – then Cui, who has been single for most of her life , finally someone in the room.

    In fact, if it’s just an ordinary life-saving grace, just give money to take care of it. The reason why Cui You accepted the woman, everyone knows that something unspeakable must have happened in the mountains in those days. Things.

      You, I am also relieved.”

    After saying this, he glared at his adopted son as usual, “Did you hear, even your uncle Cui has someone!”

    Huo Buzhuo smiled gently: “I heard you.”

    The eldest princess has always been resentful, thinking that if it weren’t for the trouble of the surname Huo, the Lord of the East Palace at this time might still be her talkative brother, how could she be angry with the third prince, so she couldn’t help it He said sourly: “Speaking of which, Zisheng also has someone. He was about to get married five years ago. It’s a pity, once…”

    “Shut up!”

    “What did the elder sister say!”

    The Empress Yue and the Crown Prince reprimanded at the same time, the eldest princess woke up in horror, and the eldest concubine repeatedly accused: “The princess is drunk, drunk, and speaks carelessly, don’t blame Zicheng, Your Majesty , His Royal Highness forgives your sins, and you must forgive your sins…”

    Huo Budo lowered his head and said nothing, everyone could not see his face clearly.

    The emperor stared at the eldest daughter for a long time, expressionless; the atmosphere in the hall was solemn, and no one dared to speak. At this time, a small yellow door quietly walked into the hall, said a few words in Cen Anzhi’s ear, and then Cen Anzhi bowed his hands to the emperor: “Your Majesty…”

    The emperor nodded, and then said to the eldest daughter: “You can’t speak, go home and reflect on yourself before you speak. This year, you don’t have to enter the palace again.”

    “Father…” The eldest princess begged to look at the emperor and was banned from entering the palace for a whole year, which was a very serious punishment.

    The concubine was annoyed by the side.

    The emperor ignored them, raised his head and said again: “Today is almost the end of the day, Prince, Zisheng, Cui You stay, and the rest leave. Oh, Mrs. Luo, you stay too.”

    Empress Yue got up first and left from the side. The rest of the people waited to attend and retreated in unison, and then filed out of the hall.

      The second prince saw that the fourth prince’s face was flushed and his steps were unsteady. In the past, he helped the fourth prince to carry the fourth prince. The fourth prince did not know the previous situation.

      Can read lips!”

    The second princess sighed softly: “Zisheng is also pitiful, it’s rare that there are people around, so why bother to provoke.”

    “I just don’t like Mr. Luo’s seemingly submissive but proud face.”

    “How do you know that she is fake and submissive? In the early years, Mrs. Luo was by Mrs. Xuan’s side, and she was quite famous.”

    “Real obedience or fake obedience, I don’t know, I don’t need to know.” The third princess looked idle, “I made peace with the whole family of the concubine, and I made peace with my messy first half of my life. , I don’t have any other fun now. Sister, don’t worry, I’m measured.” She smiled, but the smile was clearly lonely.

    The second princess stopped teaching and walked forward holding her sister’s hand.

    Not far away, Yuan Shen followed Xiaohuangmen to Xuande Hall, just staggered from them.

    Yuan Shen stepped into the hall and found that there were only a few people left in the huge Xuande Hall. Just as he was about to kneel down and salute the emperor and the prince, he suddenly saw Huo Buxuan beside him, and he was in a panic. .

    When Huo Budo saw it was him, he gave him a fixed look.

    The emperor is asking Luo Jitong: “…So, if you hadn’t watched, Zisheng would have come here.”

    Luo Jitong said with a smile: “General Huo forgets to eat and sleep when he is busy, but the concubine only takes care of her a little and dares not show her merit.”

    “The credit is still there.” The prince said, “Cui Hou’s letter is very detailed, you can be regarded as half of Zisheng’s housekeeper. , who knows how Zi Sheng will live his life!”

    Cui Hou couldn’t help but said: “It’s not so bad… I live with Zisheng. Although the mansion is not as comfortable as the local nobles, it is always safe to be full and warm…”

    —Prince, you don’t have to do this if you want to praise Luo!

    “The eldest daughter-in-law of the minister entered the door in the second year. The little girl had a difficult life in the hands of her stepmother since she was a child. She also tried her best to take care of men’s clothing, food, housing and transportation…” Of course, it wasn’t as delicate as what Luo’s conditioning was.

    The prince pretended not to hear Cui You’s words, and continued to praise Mrs. Luo, Mrs. Luo looked shy, and Huo Budo kept watching.

    The emperor saw Yuan Shen coming, and said gently: “Shan Jian, you came just in time, come closer.”

    Yuan Shen acted according to his words, and the emperor said again: “Good view, you have made a decree for me. Zi Sheng is back today. He has worked hard for five years abroad, and he has made great contributions. I am determined. The rank of rank and marquis is given to the ‘Marquis of Gaoyong’, the official title of Hussar General, enjoys the official rank of Wanshi, still serves as a servant, and adds food…”

    Huo Budo suddenly smiled: “Your Majesty, you have rewarded your ministers a lot before, so the minister is alone and wants to do something with that overwhelming property. Besides, the imperial court will soon spend the fields, and the trees will attract the wind. , do you really want a reward?”

    The emperor laughed and scolded: “Shuzi is cunning! Are those for you, for you, Laozi! No matter whether he is there or not, how many Yuhou and the others have, I can’t let him be less! , you have done a great job in the battle to conquer Shu this time, and I will give you some of the tyrant king’s line of wealth and silk fields and manor.”

    After listening to the emperor’s long list of orders, the prince and Cui Hou sat on their knees with satisfaction.

    Yuan Shen responded one by one, and he had no opinion on what the emperor wanted to reward Huo Budo, but why did he specially call him here?

    The emperor possessed himself forward, pressed his adopted son’s shoulder, and said solemnly: “Zisheng, you know that Shaoshang and Shanjian are engaged.”

    The words didn’t fall, everyone in the hall was shocked, especially Luo Jitong’s face was pale.

    Huo Budo raised his head slowly: “I know.”

    The emperor said: “You have something to say.”

    The hall was silent, Yuan Shen found himself swallowing his saliva unconsciously.

    Huo Budo turned his head to look at Yuan Shen, and shook his head slowly: “Yuan Shizhong is a calm person, behaves in a moderate manner, little… Madam Cheng marries him, she will depend on her for life…”

    Yuan Shen and Luo Jitong both fell to their hearts.

    Cui Hou glanced at the emperor, shook his head meaningfully, twisted his beard and did not speak.

    The prince was puzzled. On the one hand, he was very happy that his brother cut off the front line so decisively and moved into the future.

    “Okay.” The emperor patted his leg and glanced at Mrs. Luo, “What about your plans in the future?”

    Huo Buzhu’s sitting posture seemed to freeze: “Five years ago, I killed a woman, she believed me wholeheartedly, but I committed a heinous crime three days before I married her I often wondered later, what would she do in the future if she hadn’t been vindicated and the truth was revealed? If there is a fiancé-in-law who committed a capital crime, will His Majesty be suspicious that she will not report it, and will the people in the capital point at her? Abuse and ridicule.”

     Hearing the sadness in his words, the prince couldn’t bear to say: “This is not necessarily…”

    “Now that she has found a husband, I can only be happy for her, nothing else.” Huo Budo continued, “The past is over, people always have to look forward. Rest assured, Your Majesty, after I rebuild Huo’s tomb and ancestral hall, I will pay tribute to my ancestors, marry and have children, and continue the incense.”

    “You can think about it.” The emperor nodded, “It’s done, I want to catch up with Cui You, you guys should step back first.”

    The prince sighed, then smiled and led Huo Yuan and the two to retire. Luo Jitong followed behind the three men.

    Huo Budo smiled and said, “His Royal Highness said the right way.”

    Luo looked at him admiringly and bowed her head shyly.

    Yuan Shen was completely relaxed at the moment. For the first time, he felt that Shaoshang’s words would come true. Maybe after he and Huo Budo got married, the two couples could really get along like old friends.

    The four of them chatted and laughed all the way – in fact, the prince said it, and the other three agreed – but they were also harmonious.

    Huo Budoubt and Luo Jitong both went straight to the palace after traveling long distances. Now they must go home first to rectify. At this time, a small yellow door behind the prince suddenly shouted: “Look, Your Highness, there seems to be something wrong at the gate of the palace.”

    The prince looked solemn and said solemnly: “Go and have a look.”

    This voice was unknown to everyone, but Yuan Shen’s heart jumped violently.

    Then a girl’s voice familiar to everyone, the girl seemed to be laughing.

    “What do I think? The fifth warrior, you are really joking, I should ask you what you think! Did I go to assassinate someone a few days ago, and am I here to kidnap people today? You eat it yourself If you are full and come to find fault, no wonder I have been prepared! Come on, tighten the net bag, let this strong man run away, and I will bake you all!”

    Not waiting for the prince to react, he suddenly heard a click beside him, he turned his head quickly, only to see Huo Buxuan staggering and smashing a blue brick – his handsome face was abnormally pale, but he seemed to want to Let it shine.

    The prince was taken aback.
