Love Like the Galaxy - Chapter 153

     Less than 12 hours after Shao Shang met Huo Budo, rumors flew over the entire capital like two wings, and there were only three women present that day, Shao Shang himself I won’t talk nonsense. The four imperial concubines are shy and reserved and have little communication. Although Luo Jitong can’t guarantee his intentions, he can guarantee his IQ.

    The conclusion is that the guards and soldiers of the West Gate on the 50th and 60th who were present that day were all long tongues and big mouths!

    Men speak faster than women, which is not unusual in the Cheng family. Shaoshang didn’t plan to hide it, but before she even changed her clothes, it was too exaggerated that her elder brother had already shouted to her parents about what she had just done.

    Huo Budo is back, the power of this news is no less than that of the rebel army coming to the city. Cheng Xiao and his wife squatted in the Jiuyu Hall for a long time, but in the end there was nothing they could do. Mrs. Xiao said to solve the 50% first, and Cheng Shi said that he was not in a hurry to take it slow, ‘I will lock up the **** for a few days to sharpen my spirit. He tried his best to persuade the fifth to become’—almost being beaten by Mrs. Xiao.

    In fact, more than one person has this idea. When the news first spread, General Han also said to Cheng Shi in private, “I knew Huo Budo would be back so soon, and the engagement banquet at your house last month could be held slowly.” Cheng Shi was angry at his old friend. Even if the husband-in-law really changes people again, he will not hold the engagement banquet again because it has been done before, you can rest assured’!

    The Luo family is more tragic than the Cheng family. The news that the prince intends to match Luo Jitong and Huo Budo has only spread in less than a day. The news flooded the court again, and for several days, the faces of Colonel Changshui and other Luo clan disciples were black.

    Cheng Shi was embarrassed, but he didn’t dare to pat his chest to guarantee that his daughter would never have anything to do with Huo Wusu, so after going around the Cai family, he had to go around the Luo family again.

    The Yuan family didn’t do much better, there were smiles everywhere. Fortunately, Yuan Zhou Mu was able to respond to those jokes, benevolent or malicious, for his son. Yuan Shencai felt better.

    Although Shaoshang felt that it was not her fault, she was very sorry to Father Cheng and Yuan Shanjian, so when Yongan Palace asked her to go back to help Zhang Luoyan, she immediately answered the order—she decided to take it seriously Publicly state your position.

    After three busy days, Yongan Palace ushered in the busiest day since its opening. In addition to the two princes and two princesses, there are also a group of noble relatives who came in under various names, such as Ruyang Concubine Wang Shizi and his two brides, Mrs. Yuhou and her girlfriends, Mrs. Xuanhou and her sisters who often came to visit the Empress Dowager Xuan…

    The fourth princess came with Mrs. Jungu Xuanhou, and the fifth princess came with Luo Jitong. She saw the young businessman who was busy and sneered: “Oh, look at you I’m busy, I listen to you inside and out, so I’m about to treat the palace as my home.”

    Shao Shang immediately replied: “Her Royal Highness the princess wants to be the master of Yongan Palace, anyway, I’m getting married soon, then the princess will come to the palace to accompany the empress.” – as long as you Willing to be colorful outside.

    The face of the five princesses changed, and she flung her sleeves away. Luo Jitong apologetically smiled at Chao Shaoshang: “Your Highness has such a temper, don’t mind.”

    Shao Shang still had a very good impression of Luo Jitong. Seeing that she had the same gentle smile and dignified manner as five years ago, he immediately went up to hold her arm and said with a smile, “I will arrange for you and Mr. Huo. When we get to the table, here we go, right there, Master Huo is still talking to the Empress and the King of the East Sea… You know, before the banquet, let’s clarify the past grievances, you can go and sit first.”

    Luo Jitong’s eyes lit up, and she quickly thanked her – just now she saluted the prince, but for some reason, the prince was no longer friendly that day. When he was not suspicious, Cheng Shaoshang came to help.

    She glanced at the other side and said with a smile, “Young Master Yuan is here too.

    The young businessman winked generously at Yuan Shen, who was sitting alone: ​​”So what, the guests I invited, the empress won’t speak.”

    Luo Jitong saw that she and Yuan Shen were so good, so he settled down and sat down by himself.

    At this time, Huo Budo had a long talk with the Queen Mother Xuan of Donghai Wang in the inner room. When Shaoshang exited, she heard the Queen Mother slap Huo Budo on the back hard, crying and scolding ‘incomprehensible’ Shuzi of the heart, why is he so thin and his hair is white?

    Huo Budo has changed a lot. Five years ago, no matter how cold his temperament was, he was also a heroic and noble son raised in a wealthy township of Jinyu. It has its own meaning of Yuanding Yuezhi.

    The prince kept pacing outside the door, restless and restless, like a father-to-be waiting outside the delivery room; when he saw Shao Shang, he also asked a few silly things that were not right.

    “Cheng, do you really want to marry Yuan Shen?”

    “Oh, Your Highness, the Yuan Cheng family are already engaged. Why don’t they get married.” They received another gift for the engagement.

    “…you’ve been engaged twice before.” The implication is that engagement does not mean marriage.

    “It’s just three things, the concubine thinks it can be done this time.”

    The prince looked at him for a while with a complicated expression, and finally said nothing.

    When Empress Dowager Xuan Donghai Wang and Huo Budo came out of the inner room, the three of them all had red eyes and looked relieved, thinking that the stagnation five years ago not only made sense, but also incited a meal ; The prince breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to take the shoulder of the King of the East Sea.

    In order to show respect, the prince specially invited the King of the East Sea to sit on the throne, and he sat with him; after that, Huo Budo, he walked around the hall, passed Luo Jitong who was looking forward to it, and sat directly to Yuan Shenshen beside.

    Everyone was shocked – what is the trend, can the ex-fiancé sit together? After that, the ex-husband and the present-husband can be happy with each other!

    Yuan Shen whispered: “…What are you doing here!”

    “I and Shanjian have been ministers in the same hall for several years, but we have never talked freely, so I will make up for it today.” Huo Budo said lightly.

    Yuan Shen sneered: “There are so many people in the same hall as ministers, don’t everyone have a chat with Mr. Huo.”

    “Of course not, I just want to talk to Yuan Shizhong.”

    “What to talk about.”

    “Cheng Shaoshang.”

    “…”

      And take a seat – she nearly dropped her jaw.

    She had no choice but to sit beside Luo Jitong.

    The Empress Dowager Xuan said two scenes, and the feast began.

    Mrs. Yuhou was exquisite in all aspects, and she boasted that the Queen Mother looked good, did she make some new rouge, and then praised that the business banquet was well arranged, the dishes were good, the fruit and wine were delicious, and the music on the side was also elegant. In addition, the prince and concubine of Ruyang join in the fun from time to time, and the scene is not deserted.

    The audience laughed and laughed. The Empress Dowager gradually became interested and asked Mrs. Xuanhou and the fourth princess if they were getting along well. Mrs. Xuanhou naturally praised the fourth princess like a flower. The princess reciprocated, saying that Mrs. Xuanhou is a rare good aunt in the world, and it is her blessing to marry into the Xuan family.

    The King of the East Sea and the Crown Prince were very pleased when they saw this. The fifth princess sneered again and again, but now she has learned a lot, at least she doesn’t dare to make a noise in public.

    Seeing the excitement of the crowd, Shaoshang quickly asked Luo Jitong: “What’s going on?” She glanced at the opposite side, suppressing her excitement, “Why did they sit together!”

    Luo Jitong smiled helplessly: “…Maybe there is something to say, they have been talking since they sat down.”

     Shao Shang looked at him, and saw Huo Yuan and Yuan Shen kept whispering. But his face was changeable, and he was in a moment of uncertainty and hesitant for a moment.

     Shao Shang turned around and asked with a smile, “It’s been so many years since you married to the Northwest, and I haven’t asked you how well you lived there.”

    “Good or bad, they are all widows.” Luo Jitong looked sad and pitiful, “However, my husband is not in good health. , I should be doing my filial piety. Alas, when my husband was seriously ill, I served him day and night, and could not avoid gossip, saying that I was waiting for remarriage. After his death, he served the Jia family’s uncle and aunt for several years…”

    Shao Shang felt a little uncomfortable. They discussed Luo Jitong’s marriage more than five years ago.

    At that time, many people felt that Luo Jitong’s marriage was unfair, not only persuaded her to refuse the marriage, but also because of her reputation, many noble ladies threatened to marry her as their daughter-in-law, and even declared that the Queen Mother was willing to come forward in person to replace her Intercede with the Jia family.

    However, Luo Jitong refused all of them, and kept saying that he must abide by the promises of his elders.

    In Shaoshang’s view, if there is no choice, that’s all, but when the choice is put in front of you but rejected, then the next suffering should be broken teeth and blood swallowed, don’t sell it again damn.

      It’s not M, it’s a self-moving personality.

    Five years ago, regarding Luo Jitong’s insistence on fulfilling the marriage contract, Shaoshang only regarded her as an extremely trustworthy person, and everyone had their own aspirations, so she didn’t think too much; who knows now…

    “Oh, don’t think too much about the past.” Shaoshang’s smile is more artificial, “People always have to look forward, and your good things will be endless in the future.”

    Luo Jitong smiled shyly: “You are right, people always have to look forward. Although General Huo is strict, he is very tolerant to me. Once, I sprinkled soup on the On the map he just drew, he never scolded me. Later, I was afraid of causing trouble for him again, so I didn’t dare to enter his study; but if I didn’t go in, he wouldn’t eat or drink when he was busy…”

    Shao Shang’s smile slowly faded.

      !

    “Since you two are so close, it seems that a marriage has already been decided?” she asked directly.

    Luo Jitong didn’t notice this and continued to act. She sighed: “Actually, last month, the governor of Liangzhou received His Majesty’s decree, asking him to urge General Huo to get married earlier. At that time, the elders of Jia’s family, my ex-husband’s parents and uncle, had proposed marriage to General Huo on my behalf. Well, if it weren’t for the news that my niece was seriously ill and missed General Huo a few days later, we would have gotten engaged at this time.”

    Shao Shang suppressed his smile and said coldly: “It seems that it is not the right time for Niangniang to be ill, and it is time to delay Niangzi’s good deeds.”

    Only then did Luo Jitong realize that her expression had changed, and quickly said, “No, no, that’s not what I meant…” When she left the palace to get married, she didn’t think that Shaoshang and the Empress Dowager had much affection. Shen, the company of the past five years only thought it was the Cheng family’s invitation to pet.

    “I know that’s not what you mean.” Shao Shang interrupted her, “When the empress was in the back seat, she sheltered your Luo family more than once; the great grace is in the front, how can you complain that the empress was delayed What’s your good deed? Isn’t that a beast’s trip!”

    Luo Jitong’s face was red and white, and he was speechless.

    Shao Shang turned his head, too lazy to talk to her.

    She likes Wan Qiqi’s liveliness, appreciates Mrs. Sang’s humor, admires Mrs. Wan Lao’s deep affection and decisiveness, even the gentleness and patience of the Queen Mother Xuan, and Mrs. Xiao’s wisdom Shanmou, Yin Yan’e’s love brain, and the silent dedication of Cheng Cha and Mrs. Qing Li… She can all feel the beauty of it. Hmph, Luo Jitong, forget it.

    Today’s banquet is essentially a large-scale melon-eating scene. Which of these women really came to see the mother and son of the Queen Mother and Huo Budoubt reconcile, but everyone’s eyes met, no one knew How to start.

    Finally, the five princesses who lived up to expectations were the first to lose their temper.

    “Eleven Lang.” The fifth princess raised her glass, “I haven’t seen you for many years, I am very relieved to see you still as heroic today, I will toast you first.” After speaking, she did it first.

    Huo Busu smiled back.

    “Eleven Lang, I remember that you and Yuan Shizhong were just friends in the past, why are you sitting in one place today.” The fifth princess raised her eyebrows and looked at the two men she liked before and after. .

    The prince frowned: “Zisheng and Shanjian have something to say, what does it have to do with you.” He never liked the fifth princess, but today the Queen Mother Xuan and the King of Donghai are both here, so he couldn’t help but soften his tone , the lethality is halved.

    Sure enough, the fifth princess didn’t see the prince very harshly, so she dared to tease: “Sister, I’m just curious that they have anything to say, could it be… Are they reminiscing about the old things? Old things, old people…?”

    The prince’s face sank, and he decided to scold the fifth princess to wake up, but Huo Buxuan spoke first. He just smiled and said, “What Yuan Shizhong and I said was actually about Mrs. Cheng and the young businessman.”

    —Everyone in the hall gasped in excitement, their faces excited!

    The fifth princess didn’t expect it either, and was stunned: “It’s related to Mrs. Cheng? What did you say.”

    Luo Jitong’s expression changed greatly, and Shaoshang was nervous. There was a threatening look in her eyes, but she didn’t smile: “Master Huo, you…don’t talk nonsense…”

    Huo Budo continued: “I told Yuan Shizhong that although I have no relationship with Mrs. Cheng, it is not the fault of Mrs. Cheng. In fact, she is a very good person. He likes to punch and kick when he loses his temper, and always forgets to add salt when making soup—other than that, everything is fine.”

    “What nonsense are you talking about!” Shao Shang suddenly stood up, Yuan Shen lowered his head and stroked his forehead.

    Everyone in the hall:…

    Aware that everyone was watching, Shaoshang slowed down his tone and forced a smile: “Master Huo really likes to joke, I don’t lose my temper now, and the soup is delicious. If you don’t believe me, you can ask the lady. . Niangniang, oh, right?”

    The Queen Mother Xuan turned her head and nodded her head, “Yes, yes…”

    Huo Budo said without changing his face: “Oh, that’s it, it seems that good views are blessed.”

    Those who are less business-minded want to kill.

    Huo Budo turned his head to the Fifth Princess and said, “Does your Highness just want to hear what the talented minister said?”

    The five princesses were stunned.

    Huo Budo had an expressionless face, and said to everyone in the hall: “It’s just a joke, what Shanjian and I are talking about are all the trivial matters after conquering Shu. I hope you don’t make unreasonable guesses.”

    —The fool could also see that he was in a bad mood, and the prince on the side was glaring fiercely everywhere, so the women had to honestly retract their gossip hearts.

    Shao Shang covered his heart in fright, took a long breath and calmed down, picked up the wine scorpion, and walked straight towards the opposite side.

    Everyone in the hall looked at him.

    Shangshang stood in front of the case, held up the wine scorpion to Huo Budo, smiled and said: “Master Huo, I have a marriage contract with you, everyone knows this, it is meaningless to cover it up, Why don’t you talk about it today.”

    She spoke in a voice that everyone in the hall could hear, “I am now married to the Yuan family, and I want to come to Master Huo to marry a beautiful woman with both talent and beauty in the future. It’s still old friends.”

    After she finished speaking, she drank the wine in one gulp.

    Yuan Shen looked at his fiancee with bright eyes, and the joy almost broke through his chest. The Empress Dowager Xuan smiled slightly and declined to comment. The Crown Prince was full of headaches, and the rest were either happy or surprised, with different expressions.

    Huo Bu doubt looked at the girl, with dark brown eyes like amber, all kinds of emotions flowed.

    He said, “Okay.” Then he drank the wine in the glass.

    Shao Shang returned to his seat, put the wine scorpion on the record, and whispered in the sluggish Luo Jitong’s ear—

    “Two things. First, I have never been in Yuan Shen’s study, nor have I delivered soup or meals, but it took only a few days from my nod to Yuan’s family to propose marriage, Huo Budo thought. Marry you already! It’s not too late to show off to me when you save more money!”

    “Second, I wanted to bring you over to toast with you, and by the way, I will clarify the matter between you and Huo Budo to the people in the hall today, and I can help you. Now, you think for yourself Way to go!”

    Seeing Luo Jitong’s pale face and eyes full of regret, Shao Shang was extremely happy – as for why she was happy, she herself did not know.
