Turning misfortunes into good fortune starts with seizing the direct descendants in Kowloon

Chapter 89 Gambling Agreement, Muxue’s Thoughts, Oaths of Heaven and Earth (Fifth Update)

Huo Hongling thought about his father's words for a long time.

I feel very conflicted.

She wants to participate in the fight for the right to inherit the throne and make the Huo family better.

But my father wanted to settle down and quit.

Although it made sense, she still refused to marry Lu Mingyuan, who had a very bad reputation. Compared to him, the eighth prince had a much better reputation and a rich background.

She did not look down on scholars. Her father was a Confucian military strategist, so he was invincible on the battlefield. She had also observed the art of war since she was a child, and was keen on reading.

"I have asked the Holy One to grant the marriage. There is no room for reversal of this matter. Let's prepare for the marriage."

Huo Qing informed coldly.

Today when he was in the court, he almost cursed in anger when he learned what his daughter had done.

He is not angry now, he is extremely restrained.

"Father!"

When Huo Hongling heard this, her pupils shrank.

Unexpectedly, my father actually did this.

In an instant, deep grievance arose in my heart.

Huo Qing narrowed his eyes and said in a warning tone: "If you dare to escape from the marriage, I will not recognize you as my daughter, and you will no longer be part of the Huo family."

Huo Hongling was shocked. She didn't expect her father to say such things.

Her father had never said such harsh words since she had grown up.

Obviously very angry.

"My daughter understands"

Huo Hongling's eyes were filled with sadness, and she could only accept her fate in the end.

Huo Qing continued: "Also, what you said in the imperial city needs to be explained to the Wang family and the sixth prince. They have lost their face because of your words."

His daughter had previously refused the planned marriage, making the Wang family a laughing stock.

Now that she has gone back to marry the sixth prince, wouldn't it mean that both families are riding a tiger and slapping the Wang family in the face?
  So the relationship must be made up.

"How does a daughter do it?"

Huo Qing thought for a while and said: "You initiate a gambling agreement with the Sixth Prince, initiate a duel, and say that if you win, you will marry, if you lose, you will not marry, and then you deliberately lose to him."

Huo Hongling was stunned: "Why do you do this?"

Huo Qing said angrily: "You didn't say it yourself. You said, 'If you don't meet a man who can defeat you, you won't marry.' If you don't, how can you give the Wang family a step down?"

"After you lose, the Wang family will gain face, and our two families will not have any grudges."

Huo Hongling didn't expect that her father would even pave the way for her escape.

In this way, it is in line with her style and can restore the Wang family's face. It is a good transition.

"Father, are you really going to do this?" Huo Hongling sighed.

"Whoever told you to say such things is doing it to yourself."

After saying that, Huo Qing ignored her and turned to leave.

"Go home quickly. Don't let your mother worry. You can't see anyone every day during this period. Can you bear to make your mother feel uncomfortable?"

After hearing this, Huo Hongling could only follow her father.

Qingzhu Palace.

Lu Mingyuan calmed down, his consciousness fell into darkness, and he began to check the movements of the blood glutton puppets everywhere.

These days, he has not been idle.

He sent out forty-five blood gluttonous puppets and kept five for himself.

They are all over the major imperial cities, corners of the palace, and outside the prince's residence.

It was as if there was an extra monitoring screen in his mind, allowing him to check the situation in various regions.

Play a surveillance role.

Around the second prince Lu Guangjing's house, he placed the most, a total of eight.

He would know the slightest sign of trouble.

But nothing seems to have changed these days, it's very peaceful.

He had been waiting for Lu Guangjing to reveal his flaws. As long as he could get a clue, it would be considered a success.

"Your Highness, look who is here."

Hongwan smiled and led a beautiful woman in a plain skirt into the courtyard.

When Lu Mingyuan saw the person coming, he was stunned for a moment. After looking at him for a long time, his eyes became a little crazy.

Qi Muxue finally appeared in front of him after many days and a month.

"I haven't seen you for many days, Miss Qi." Lu Mingyuan sighed from the bottom of his heart.

"My father has been reinstated and I have returned to the academy. I am busy with work, please forgive me." Qi Muxue smiled brightly, like a clear spring in the valley, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

"Plus you're getting married soon, so I won't be able to bother you."

Lu Mingyuan waved his hand and said, "What kind of wedding is this? I've already put it down."

Qi Muxue didn't seem surprised, but asked calmly: "Why?"

"Just look down on me."

Qi Muxue smiled softly: "The sage said that you should be courteous to the king, and people will think you are flattering. Your Highness does not need to care about what others think, just be yourself."

"Your Highness, why don't you take a walk in the garden with me?"

Qi Muxue's clear and compassionate eyes were irresistible.

At this time, Hongwan and Ziyun winked and blinked at Lu Mingyuan frantically.

Lu Mingyuan was very surprised when he saw it, so he had to agree:

"Row."

So Lu Mingyuan and Qi Muxue walked side by side. Ziyun and Hongwan were quite interested and had not yet followed. They walked out of the cold palace, passed through the endless vermilion palace wall, and headed for Bihuwan.

Here, there is a waterside pavilion, sparkling lake surface and pleasant scenery. The spiritual bird was chirping in the tree, but it was not annoying, it was just crisp and sweet. Facing the wonderful scenery and warm atmosphere, neither of them wanted to open their mouths to break it, so they walked quietly.

Looking at Qi Muxue's beautiful face, Lu Mingyuan couldn't help but feel soft in his heart.

However, he used "knowing people" to see that Qi Muxue was worried.

It seemed like there was something being hidden from him.

The two of them walked under the largest cypress tree. The early spring sunshine filtered through the leaves and printed dots of light on the grass. Qi Muxue suddenly became interested, and moved her steps slightly, her embroidered shoes seemed to be stepping on the sunlight. Although it was a ridiculous idea, a sweet smile appeared on her face, and Lu Mingyuan who was standing beside him was stunned.

"What are you looking at, Your Highness?"

Qi Muxue's glance had an indescribable charm.

The two have known each other for a long time, almost half a year. Counting from the Lantern Festival, they have become very familiar with each other. Playing the piano and discussing lyrics, admiring the flowers and the moon, and getting along, I don't know when the feelings have entered my heart.

"I'm thinking about Miss Qi being so gentle and virtuous. I wonder which man will take advantage of her in the future."

When Qi Muxue heard him praising herself, she felt a little happy in her heart for some reason, and said with a serious face: "His Highness knows how to say nice things now. I remember when we first met, His Highness said that he didn't like me like this."

"The past was the past, and the present is the present."

Lu Mingyuan smiled, smiled very happily, and sat down on the ground. He did not sit down on his knees in a serious manner, but spread his legs in a "horizontal" shape, with his back against the cypress tree. He exuded a feeling of laziness all over his body and slowly closed his eyes. . "How can Your Highness sit so dissolutely?"

Seeing his appearance, Qi Muxue couldn't help but say.

Faced with Qi Muxue's doubts, Lu Mingyuan did not open his eyes and said leisurely: "This is not dissipation, this is relaxation."

After finishing speaking, he looked like he was enjoying himself.

"Relax?" Hearing this, Qi Muxue was slightly startled.

"Yes, you always have to take care of etiquette on weekdays. You don't say anything when you eat or sleep. You sit upright, you live respectfully, and you serve respectfully. Don't you think it's tiring to live like this?"

"When you say it, it seems..."

"Come on, do what I do, it's very comfortable." Lu Mingyuan opened his eyes slightly and drew a brilliant arc at the corner of his mouth.

Qi Muxue said "Oh" in a daze, and awkwardly imitated Lu Mingyuan to sit down. She felt that it was too unladylike to open her legs in a horoscope, so she put her legs flat and vertical, and then bent them slightly at an angle, so that the hem of her skirt could be covered. Hold your knees. In this way, the slender and straight legs naturally protrude from the skirt. The owner only cares about the novelty and excitement, and has no idea what kind of thrilling beauty it is releasing.

Lu Mingyuan was in awe.

He half-joked: "It's more comfortable if you rest your head on my shoulder."

Unexpectedly, Qi Muxue hesitated for a while and finally leaned over.

Suddenly feeling the soft weight on his side, Lu Mingyuan's whole body froze, and he turned his head.

Unexpectedly, the other party actually did it!

"Azure destiny-convict peach blossom, the refining degree increases to 45%"

At the same time, words appeared in front of his eyes, "Peach Blossom", the fate refining degree increased by another ten percent.

Lu Mingyuan was confused.

Suddenly, he seemed to understand something.

He saw a hint of expectation on Qi Muxue's face that was not easy to detect. If he didn't "know people", it would be difficult for him to detect it.

"Haha."

Qi Muxue looked at Lu Mingyuan and asked in confusion: "Why is Your Highness smiling?"

"I'm just happy."

Lu Mingyuan turned his head, looked at her trembling eyelashes, and replied with a smile.

He finally became bold and took the little white hand that he had been dreaming about.

"Your Highness is probably not bullying me, right?"

Qi Muxue bit her thin lips and said.

She was very afraid that Lu Mingyuan was teasing her, or even making fun of her.

"Of course not."

Lu Mingyuan understood her thoughts, saw through her expression, and smiled slightly.

At this time, the little hand just struggled for a moment and then stopped resisting. She turned her eyes to the other side, not daring to look at him.

"Miss Qi seems to have something on her mind, why don't you tell me about it?"

Qi Muxue said with sad eyes: "Your Highness has good eyesight, but this matter is difficult for even Your Highness to solve."

Lu Mingyuan chuckled and said, "You might as well tell me."

Qi Muxue thought for a while: "I have a good friend who fell in love with a young man from a noble family, but that young man was engaged to another daughter. Fortunately, this daughter did not like this young man. Your Highness thinks that my good friend , should she confess her feelings?"

Lu Mingyuan heard what the other party meant and said calmly:
  "If it were me, definitely."

"Of course you have to chase the person you like. The most important thing is to seize the moment and not let the opportunity slip away. In this world, there is only infatuation that no one can make fun of."

"Only infatuation doesn't allow others to make fun of it. I understand."

Qi Muxue seemed to have some realization.

He couldn't help but joked: "This best friend in my boudoir can't be Miss Qi."

Qi Muxue's face turned red when she heard this.

“So what if it is, so what if it’s not?”

"If so, I'm curious about which young man Miss Qi likes. If not, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Facing the breeze on the lake, Qi Muxue lowered her head and said, "This person is far away in the horizon, but right in front of me."

When Lu Mingyuan heard this, he held the hand of the person in front of him tightly and whispered next to her earlobe:

"Miss Qi, I like you too, just as much as you like me."

"Your Highness, could you be joking with me? Is it true or not?"

Qi Muxue tilted her head, but did not take it seriously at the first time. Her eyes were unnatural and she lowered her head.

"Azure destiny-convict peach blossom, the refining degree increases to 55%"

Only then did Lu Mingyuan truly understand Qi Muxue's thoughts.

There is no barrier between the two, it is just one step away.

Since you like it, you have to fight for it, not your mother-in-law.

After thinking clearly, he stopped squirming and sat up straight, with a very firm look in his eyes, and said word by word: "I, Lu Mingyuan, will not take anything from you in this life, and heaven and earth will serve as a guide!"

"Is this enough?"

When Qi Muxue heard his words of heaven and earth oath, she turned around suddenly, her eyes full of disbelief.

Seeing Lu Mingyuan's face determined, without flinching or fearful.

Her eyes couldn't help but become moist. She stared at her eyes, her eyes were crazy, she smiled and sobbed:

"In this life and this life, I will be your wife, and heaven and earth will serve as a lesson!"

When Lu Mingyuan heard this, he was also very happy. He wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a smile, and tentatively shouted:

"Twilight Snow?"

"Lu Lang."

Qi Muxue shouted shyly.

The two just stared at each other infatuatedly without speaking.

Qi Muxue's nervous palms were all sweaty, and her face turned red as she said, "How long will Lu Lang continue to watch?"

Lu Mingyuan smiled softly and said, "Until you fall asleep on my shoulder."

Qi Muxue said "Oh" and closed her eyes calmly, but her trembling eyelashes betrayed her heart.

Bihuwan was extremely quiet, with only the sound of wind, water, and the imperceptible breathing of the two people.

"Azure Blue Fate - Defeat Peach Blossom, the refining degree increases to 65%, the trait (Peach Blossom Luck) is promoted to intermediate level, (Beautiful Man) is promoted to high level"

"Love Luck (Intermediate): Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and you are destined to be surrounded by beauties. A woman will be attracted to you at first sight, and your favorability will be high."

"Beautiful man (high-level): extremely charming, handsome in appearance, deeply loved by women, with ageless appearance, and charm increases with age."

Lu Mingyuan was slightly surprised when he saw this.

From the first time I met the woman, I had a good eye with her, and now I am very fond of her, and my favorability is still high.

This handsome man becomes more and more handsome as he grows older, and is not affected by time. This is too unbelievable!
