Mountains and rivers pray for peace

Chapter 17 Adding makeup before marriage
Time flew by so fast, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the fifth day of October, which was the day when Yuan Shao, son of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, and Huo Qinglan, the second daughter of the Huo family, got married.

There was a crowd of people in front of Duke Ning's mansion, and they were all the people who got the news from a few miles around and came to join in the fun.The people's minds are the most pure, and they don't understand the twists and turns of the big family. They only think that Zhenyuanhou's son is a rare young talent. Although Miss Huo's family background is not as good as Zhenyuanhou's, she is famous in the capital. The two can also be regarded as talented and beautiful.

There was a sense of joy in the Zilan Pavilion of Duke Ning's Mansion.

Huo Qinglan was wearing a phoenix crown and Xiapei, sitting in front of the bronze mirror, next to Xi Po was twisting noodles for her.

"Young lady is naturally beautiful. Today, I'm afraid my uncle will be even happier if she twists her face into a white face." Xi'er, Huo Qinglan's personal maid, joked.

"Don't say such shameless words, and you won't be afraid of spreading jokes." Even though he said so, Huo Qinglan couldn't hide a smile on his face.

"This girl is telling the truth. She is very charming and married to such a good family. She will live a peaceful and beautiful life in the future. This side is already beautiful. My family wishes the girl a hundred years of love and endless succession." Xi Po Smiled and talked, and did not forget to say some auspicious words.

The eyes of Qi's beside him were already cracked with laughter, quite satisfied with Xi Po's craftsmanship, he took out a handful of silver melon seeds from his sleeve and stuffed them into Xi Po's hand.

After Xi Po received the reward, she smiled brightly, thanked her and retreated tactfully.

On this side, Mrs. Qi looked at Huo Qinglan in the mirror, pinched her shoulders and said with a smile: "Lan'er has such a good temperament and good looks, if you marry her, your son will be happy.

However, although you are smart, as a mother, you still have to ask a few words.With such a high family status in the Zhenyuan Hou Mansion, everyone must be scrambling to get married, and there will be many concubines in the house in the future.You can't be bitter and jealous, the most important thing is to give birth to a son for the son as soon as possible. "

Huo Qinglan's face flushed with embarrassment, as if she had put on three layers of rouge, she just lowered her head and said nonchalantly: "Mother, my daughter understands."

Mrs. Qi seemed to want to say something more, but suddenly, a soft voice came from the door:

"Today is a day of great joy. I'm here to add makeup to my sister."

It's Huo Qi.

When Huo Qinglan heard the sound, the smile froze slightly.

For some reason, when she saw Huo Qi, she felt an instinctive discomfort.

Now recalling what happened at Qiu Ju's banquet, she always felt that Huo Qi was behind it, but there was no evidence.However, no matter what Huo Qi's purpose was, her wish to marry Yuan Shao was finally fulfilled.

Therefore, when she saw Huo Qi coming to add makeup on purpose, she was also happy to act like a sister.

Huo Qiwu found a chair next to him and sat down. He smiled and said, "My sister is so beautiful today. I have prepared some gadgets. I don't know if they can catch my sister's eyes."

As he said that, Lefeng next to him handed over a wooden jewelry box with intricate patterns engraved on it and exuded a faint fragrance.

Huo Qinglan took the box, opened it, and found a pair of suet jade bracelets of good quality inside. Although they could not be said to be worth thousands of dollars, they were very generous.

Huo Qinglan handed the box to Xi'er next to her: "Xi'er, put away the eldest lady's makeup, and be sure nothing goes wrong."

The Qi family next to her saw her, and her eyes lit up. She originally thought that Huo Qi was just going through the motions, but he didn't want to make a move but was so generous. She was secretly happy and a little sour at the same time.

But she thought about it, after today, her daughter is a serious concubine, and she is not comparable to others, so she immediately smiled politely: "Qi girl is too good at etiquette. Why do you need to spend so much money on makeup?"

Huo Qi looked at Mrs. Qi: "It's all my responsibility. Now I have some personal issues between daughters that I want to talk to my sister alone. Can I ask my aunt to make it easier?"

Qi naturally nodded in agreement, and in a blink of an eye, only the two sisters and a few personal maids were left in the room.

When there was no sound at the door, Huo Qinglan took Huo Qi's hand and made some close gestures: "Mom has gone out. What do you want to say to your sister alone?"

It's just that although Huo Qinglan smiled on his face, he immediately felt vigilant in his heart.

The relationship between her and Huo Qi is not so good that there are so many personal things to say, Huo Qi came here on purpose, maybe nothing good will happen.Maybe because the closer she gets to what she wants, the more she worries about gains and losses, walking on thin ice.

Huo Qi smiled slightly, patted Huo Qinglan's hand, and said intentionally or unintentionally: "Today you are going to marry the prince, and I am really happy for you. However, there is something about Yuan Shizi, I don't know if I should tell you. "

Huo Qinglan snorted in her heart, feeling slightly sour. She was the concubine that Yuan Shao was marrying. Is there anything she didn't know that Huo Qi knew? Was Huo Qi here to show off his power?

But she just cursed and couldn't help but ask: "Sister, it doesn't matter if you say it."

"Sister, do you know what Prince Yuan cares about most?" Huo Qi asked with a smile.

Huo Qinglan choked suddenly. Although she thought she had grown up with Yuan Shao, she could count the number of times they met each other on one hand.Now that Huo Qi asked such a question, she really couldn't answer it.

Embarrassment turned into dissatisfaction, and Huo Qinglan's tone turned cold: "Sister, why do you need to keep it secret?"

"I'm not trying to show off, I just came here to tell my sister that what Prince Yuan cares about the most is the fifth prince in the palace. As long as you put the interests of the fifth prince first in everything, you will naturally be able to secure your position as the Princess of Zhenyuan. .”

Huo Qi smiled with her lips curled up, a sly look flashed in her eyes, her words were very cryptic, but she believed that her younger sister would not let her down.

Huo Qinglan originally thought that Huo Qi would talk about Yuan Shao's temperament and hobbies, but she didn't want someone to talk about the affairs in the palace, and was slightly stunned for a moment.

Before Huo Qinglan could understand, Huo Qi stood up and said goodbye: "It's almost time to welcome the bride, so I won't waste my sister's dressing time and go ahead."

After Huo Qi walked away, Xi'er couldn't help but say, "What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd, Miss? Is it because she is unhappy because she got a good marriage?" She knew that her girl didn't like Miss, so she said the same thing. Very straightforward.

"It's nothing, just make up for me." Huo Qinglan looked at herself in the bronze mirror, with a thoughtful look in her eyes.

After turning the corner and exiting the door of Zilanxuan, Lingfeng supported Huo Qi and said unwillingly: "Girl, you are too kind. It's just a gift of the right bracelet, but you are so kind and kind to say so much."

Huo Qi twitched the corner of his mouth: "I didn't come to be a good person."

Lefeng didn't know and went in: "The girl is..."

"A husband and wife who are close relatives and distant relatives, if a couple wants to live a long life, they must be evenly matched. Otherwise, the weak one will be swallowed by the strong one..." Huo Qi smiled and clicked.

Huo Qi went out of his way to talk so much today, not out of kindness to be some kind of old man under the moon.

Although she had already wiped out her sisterly friendship with Huo Qinglan due to the hatred in her previous life, she was also the person who knew Huo Qinglan best after all.This younger sister of hers is somewhat clever, if she hadn't been blinded by stupid affection, she wouldn't be so blind to reality.

Now that Huo Qinglan doesn't have her mother's family to rely on, and because of Yuan Shao's calculations at the Qiuju banquet, I'm afraid he has hated her for a long time, and it will not be easy to marry her.

To put it harshly, even if Huo Qinglan died quietly, as long as Zhenyuanhou's mansion gave a decent reason, the matter would be turned over.The first-rank officials crushed people to death, and Huo Rushan had such a cowardly temperament, he was afraid that he would not be able to, and he would not dare to go to Zhenyuanhou's mansion to seek justice.

But if Huo Qinglan died and Yuan Shao lived a leisurely life, that was not the result she wanted to see.Wouldn't it be more interesting to tell Huo Qinglan about Yuan Shao's fate and turn her into a sharp knife in his hands to torture Yuan Shao?
Listening to the wind nodded as if understanding, she only felt that the young lady had become much sharper in her actions and words since she fell from the horse.But this is good, so that even if the master and his wife are away, the young lady will be able to protect herself.

The two master and servant were talking, and after a while they arrived at the main courtyard of Duke Ningguo's mansion, but they didn't want to bump into Huo Chi, whom they hadn't seen for a long time.

Ever since he received the imperial edict prohibiting him from serving as an official for five years, Huo Chi has been living in seclusion, sitting in the west courtyard messing around for who knows what. Even Huo Qi has almost forgotten his existence.

Huo Qinglan got married today, and everyone was going to come to the main courtyard to see the ceremony, but they bumped into each other.

Huo Qi didn't want to spend too much time with Huo Chi, so he raised his foot and prepared to go to the gate of the house to find Mrs. Wang, but he didn't want to be stopped by Huo Chi: "Sister, why do you hide when you see me? Is my sister guilty?"

"Second brother is overthinking this. It's just that I haven't seen second brother for a long time, so I didn't recognize him for a while." Huo Qi smiled slightly, but the words were too perfunctory and obvious.

Huo Chi walked over, looking like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, his sinister eyes wandered back and forth on Huo Qi: "Now that the second sister is married into the Zhenyuan Hou's mansion, the eldest sister is still happy?"

Huo Qi felt a little ridiculous in his heart, could it be that he thought he was so sad that he hid in the prayer room and cried?

It's also because she didn't know people well before, so she gave Yuan Shao a bit of a good look.Nowadays, anyone can use Yuan Shao to disgust her, which shows that people still have to be careful about who they choose to enter their lives.

She rolled up her sleeves, and a gentle smile appeared on her face: "I am naturally happy to see that my second sister has found a good home. I think my second brother must be as happy as me. After all... I have a sister who is the concubine of the world. , even if the second brother is not allowed to be an official for five years, there is hope for this day."

Huo Qi's words were so poisonous, he stabbed directly into Huo Chi's heart, causing his face to change slightly, and his back molars were almost crushed.

However, in just a moment, Huo Chi returned to a smiling face: "Then I hope my sister can always be so happy in her heart, so that she can live up to her eloquence."

After saying that, he walked away.

Seeing Huo Chi's leaving figure, Lefeng next to him worriedly said: "Miss, what the second young master said is a bit deep, I'm afraid it will be bad for the girl." Ever since Wang Yuan died, Lefeng has been especially jealous of the second young master , always worried about what he would do to Huo Qi.

Huo Qi smiled carelessly: "I know the shady plans in his heart. Soldiers will stop him, and water will cover him. Since he wants to go against me, let's see who is more skilled. "
