Chapter 62
Seeing that her daughter had woken up from a coma, Ms. Qin quickly squeezed Huo Jiuge away, and then her anxious voice sounded: "Qing Shang, are you okay? What's wrong with your body now?" She said while getting on the bed He checked Huo Qingshang up and down, fearing that she might have made any mistakes.

Huo Qingshang's eyes were red, as if he was wronged but still holding back. He pulled the corner of Qin's clothes and said, "Mother, I'm cold."

Just at this time, someone handed over a cloak. Qin took it and put it on Huo Qingshang. She held her hand and said, "Why are these little hands so cold? What on earth is going on!" She suddenly said Looking back, his eyes fell on Huo Jiuge like steel needles.

Everyone had the attitude of watching a good show. This young lady from Duke Rongguo's palace had just returned to Beijing and had made such a big splash. It seemed that she was not someone to be trifled with.

Huo Jiuge looked at Qin's mother and daughter, with a faint smile on his lips, feeling a sense of comfort in the aftermath of a disaster, "If it weren't for the eldest sister, then I would be the one who fell into the cold lake. The eldest sister is still kind-hearted. He gave me a hand at the critical moment." As she spoke, she cast her gaze on Huo Qingshang, who was shivering coldly: "There is a rumor in Beijing that the eldest daughter of the Huo family is as beautiful as a fairy, talented, and now she even has a heart. As kind as a Bodhisattva."

"If I accidentally fell into the lake this time, I might not be as lucky as my cousin." As she spoke, she looked at Xiao Chengji aside, referring to something meaningfully.

Xiao Chengji was shocked. He didn't expect that Huo Jiuge, a girl, could be so sharp-tongued. She could bring the fire to his head with just a few words. He and Huo Qingshang obviously had nothing, but now that she said this, it made him feel a lot more. Meaning: "What are you talking about? I obviously saw you push the person down."

"Third Prince, please don't say that." Huo Jiuge quickly interrupted him, and then said with a panicked expression: "Why did I push my cousin down so well? And it was in full view of everyone. Didn't I die? ? If you don’t believe me, ask your cousin to see if she was pushed down by me!"

Huo Qingshang was stunned. She didn't expect Huo Jiuge to wear such a big hat on herself. If she followed the third prince's words, outsiders would definitely guess about their relationship. There were so many people at the banquet, and the three princes Being like a tiger, she didn't dare to think about what outrageous rumors would spread from everyone's mouths later. If she followed Huo Jiuge's words, she would offend the third prince again, and she was suddenly in a dilemma.

Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, everyone had the answer in their hearts, and they all agreed that what Huo Jiuge said was the truth of the matter.

Although Xiao Chengji grew up in a woman's hand, he had learned the way of a gentleman and strategizing in the court since he was a child. How could he know the woman's thoughts?

However, after this incident, he finally understood what it means to be a woman and a villain, and the saying that it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain.

Not to mention that the person he offended was a villain!He was left speechless by Huo Jiuge for a long time, but King Rui made peace. He asked the person who fell into the water to change clothes first, and he became infected with the wind and cold.

After calming Xiao Chengji's mood, he turned around and glared at Huo Jiuge, as if blaming her for ruining the Qujiang banquet.

Huo Jiuge was not afraid of his fierce eyes at all. She turned her head away as if she didn't see anything. At this time, Princess Rui supported her and said, "You are also stained with water, so you should come down with me to change." Please wear clean clothes."

The memory left by the original owner to Huo Jiuge was very little about Princess Rui. She only remembered that when she did not marry into the palace and became the princess, the relationship between the two families was very good. Later, after the original owner's parents had an accident, her brother Huo Chengqi took over. Following his father's will, he became the youngest general in the entire Northern Zhou Dynasty. After being stationed at the border, he rarely went home. Two years later, Jiang Huaying, the prime minister's legitimate daughter, married the current eldest prince and became the distinguished hostess of Prince Rui's Mansion.

It is worth mentioning that the Jiang family is the natal family of the current Queen Mother, and the status of King Rui's biological mother is low. He grew up beside the Queen Mother, and later married the Queen Mother's grandniece. It is difficult for people not to think about the relationship between this. .

Now among the emperor's many princes, only three have reached adulthood. Among them, the least significant one is the second prince who grew up as a hostage in the Western Region. His mother-in-law is from the Yi tribe. It is estimated that the ending waiting for him should be... The position of a prince.

You must know that the Northern Zhou Dynasty pays most attention to blood and family status. King Rui relied on the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister's family to achieve his current achievements, not to mention Xiao Chengji. His mother was the Queen and his uncle was the most powerful minister now.

In the future, apart from the prince, if nothing else happens, the selection will definitely be between the two of them.After Huo Jiuge changed her clothes, Princess Rui took off the hairpin from her head and gave it to her after seeing her plain appearance.

"Princess Rui, you must not do this. I have already received a lot of care from you, so how can I have the nerve to take your things again." Huo Jiuge refused.

"We haven't seen each other for so many years, Jiu Ge has grown up a lot." Princess Rui looked at the vivid and beautiful face in front of her, but she felt melancholy in her heart for some reason. Her beautiful eyes sank and she hid them under her eyelashes: "Now that I see you like this, you don't even have a shadow of what you were before."

Huo Jiuge caught the flash of hurt expression in her eyes and said, "I just don't want to cause trouble to Sister Huaying."

"You're quite flexible." Princess Rui couldn't remember the last time someone called her by her given name. Now when she heard Huo Jiuge call her name out of the blue, she felt like she was in another world.

"But that's good, at least no one can bully you." A happy smile appeared on her face, as if she was watching her sister grow up.

She knew all the rumors about their family in the capital, but the world was unfair to women. Even though she felt distressed, there was nothing she could do.

Fortunately, Huo Chengqi maintained the reputation of Duke Rongguo. Now Huo Jiuge has grown up and has become an adult in his own right.

The two chatted alone for a while, until Princess Rui's mother and sister came to find her.

Jiang Ruoyun and Huo Qingshang had a very good relationship, so when she saw her sister being so close to Huo Jiuge, she was a little jealous. She walked to Princess Rui and deliberately squeezed the distance between her and Huo Jiuge. , then leaned against her body and said coquettishly: "Sister, I haven't come back to see me for a long time."

"Your sister is now a wife, how can she run to her parents' house every two days?" The prime minister's wife explained the reason to her.

Let her stop saying these words, so as not to get the princess into trouble after others hear them.

Generally speaking, after a woman gets married, she cannot return to her parents' home unless it is something very important. Even if she wants to go back, she must be accompanied by her husband. If a married daughter runs to her parents' home every two days, she will be punished. Outsiders thought that she had been wronged at her husband's house, or that she had some ulterior secrets at her parents' house.

Even ordinary people have to follow this kind of red tape, let alone whether Jiang Huaying is marrying a prince. The manpower and material resources consumed by her returning home once are immeasurable.

As for the outsiders mentioned by Mengshi, Huo Jiuge looked around and found that he was the only outsider here.

Considering that Princess Rui had not seen her family for a long time, she found an excuse to go out and leave them some space as a family.
