Chapter 203
If it wasn't for Lin Qingyang's cheeky reminder, the scene between Yue Chen and Huo Luo just now would have been watched by everyone.
The companions of the princes all greeted Yuechen and Huo Luo one after another, and then went back to their own yard. When Pei Jin left, the expression on his face was blank.
It stands to reason that Xu Wenze is most familiar with Huo Luo and Yuechen here. At this moment, Xu Wenze really has a sense of helplessness that is gradually fading all over his body.
Xu Wenze always thought that these two were good brothers and good partners. Huo Luo used to say that Yue Chen was his brother-in-law, and both of them liked women, especially Yue Chen often teased women, affectionate and flirtatious.
But just now he saw these two people doing such an intimate thing in public, which was a bit beyond Xu Wenze's ability to bear.
Xu Wenze, who was the most knowledgeable about advancing and retreating, and who understood etiquette, was so startled that he directly asked, "You...you two are together?"
Yuechen, who had barely dealt with the crowd, was out of state. When asked by a familiar younger brother, he immediately remembered what happened just now, and for the first time he denied it in a panic: "No."
But Huo Luo replied at the same time: "Yes."
Yuechen looked at Huo Luo in astonishment, and Huo Luo turned his head to look at Yuechen decisively, and said firmly again: "Yes."
Yue Chen was dumbfounded for a while, and just looked at Huo Luo in a daze.
After Xu Wenze finished listening, he could only stammer: "That... that's good..."
Huo Luo nodded, as if Xu Wenze's words were a blessing.
But he didn't notice that Xu Wenze seemed to think of something suddenly, his eyes changed slightly, but he cautiously did not open his mouth for the time being with an embarrassing expression.
But Yuechen noticed it, and his expression changed immediately, as if the bubble of fantasy was burst before it rose.
Because Xu Wenze's expression reminded Yuechen of what happened before.
After Huo Luo left with Mo Jiahui, Mrs. Huo had already given some hints to her relatives and family friends, including the Yue family and Duke Wei's mansion.
So he and Xu Wenze also heard that Mrs. Huo planned to arrange a banquet after Huo Luo and Mo Jiahui came back to formally arrange their engagement.After all, it's okay for Mo Jiahui, an only daughter, to live in Huo's house temporarily, but if she stays there, her reputation will be damaged. Everyone knows this arrangement well.
Xu Wenze happily went to ask Guo Yuechen if he wanted to prepare a congratulatory gift in advance. After all, he was a good friend and family friend, so he naturally wanted to give some thoughtful gifts.
But seeing such a scene now, not to mention Xu Wenze's embarrassment, Yuechen's face darkened quickly after reacting.
Xu Wenze said embarrassingly: "By the way, I heard that you have made great achievements again. Congratulations. This time you will be promoted again."
"So I asked you to come drink and celebrate." Huo Luo used the excuse Yue Chen had thought up before.
Now Yuechen and Huo Luo have obtained the emperor's token, they can enter and leave the palace at will at any time, and they can live in the palace directly when it is late, which is very convenient.
So he quickly chose to set up a banquet in Xu Wenze's courtyard, and the first ones to get drunk were Xu Wenze and Lin Qingyang.
Xu Wenze was still in shock, so he drank too much. Lin Qingyang knew how much he drank would make it easier for them to talk, so he let go of his courage and drank it. After drinking, he felt that he was almost done, and consciously went back to the room to rest.
When there were only three people in the courtyard, the first thing Yuechen and Huo Luo did was to kneel down to Chu Lishu to thank him.
They will never forget that Chu Lishu planned to reveal his identity to Ning Ziheng in order to save Yuechen.
From Yuechen and Huo Luo's point of view, Chu Lishu is the master, and what he did was extremely dangerous, so even if he didn't exchange it like this, it was reasonable, but he chose to save, which made Yuechen and Huo Luo Even more moving, I used to worship and follow, but now I feel even more loyal to the death.
Chu Lishu didn't say anything on the surface, but he was actually quite surprised that he made such a choice at the time. It was a choice that Yuan Ran would have made in the past, and it shouldn't be the current Chu Lishu.
The three quickly talked about business and other plans for the future.
When the main business was finished, the night was dark, Yue Chen and Huo Luo were supposed to leave, but Yue Chen suddenly said, "Huo Luo, you go back to the Waizhi Hall first, I have something to say to His Highness, and I will go back by myself later."
Huo Luo was taken aback for a moment, and instinctively said: "I'll just wait for you to come together." Can Yuechen not listen to anything he has to say?
Yue Chen suddenly said in a serious tone: "I want to speak to His Highness alone, you go first."
Huo Luo was stunned for a moment, and looked at Chu Lishu.
But Chu Lishu just lowered his head and thought, and didn't care about the two of them at all, as if letting them make their own decisions.
Huo Luo had no choice but to leave.
It wasn't until Huo Luo left that Yuechen heaved a sigh of relief. At this time, Chu Lishu actually wanted to get up and leave.
"Your Highness...Your Highness?" Yuechen called out in embarrassment.
Chu Lishu raised her eyebrows and said, "Use me as an excuse, don't you just want to be alone for a while? Then you don't need me to stay."
Yue Chen was even more embarrassed, as expected, nothing could escape His Highness's eyes.
"Your Highness, what do you think of the matter between me and Huo Luo?" Yuechen asked suddenly.
Chu Lishu was a little speechless, why is the master now taking care of the emotional life of his subordinates?Can't they manage their own feelings well?useless.
"Yuechen, you are a smart person, you can get anything you want, why bother yourself, Huo Luo is already in your pocket, can't you see?" Chu Lishu got up and left after finishing speaking, looking after himself walked into Lin Qingyang's yard.
Seeing this, Yuechen couldn't help but laugh. If the former Highness would not have said such arbitrary words, perhaps only those who have experienced catastrophe can be so transparent and unrestrained.
Chu Lishu came to Lin Qingyang's bedside, and went up and lay down skillfully. Lin Qingyang woke up slightly, "Why are you here?"
Chu Lishu smiled, "I have something to tell you..." Then Chu Lishu used Yuechen and Huo Luo's awkward story as a story to tell Lin Qingyang, so that he could sleep here for the night.
Lin Qingyang became energetic after hearing this, "It's normal for Yuechen to be worried. Although he is free and easy, he has a delicate mind, especially for those he cares about. He will be more concerned about the other's feelings and situation, let alone Huo What about Luo, the Huo family... After all, it is a family of military generals, very well-behaved, and Huo Luo is the only one in this generation, not to mention there is Mo Jiahui who is in line with the Huo family's wishes."
If there were not many worries, in the original text, Yue Chen would not have watched Huo Luo marry a wife and have children, and die alone in old age.Although the Yue family does not have the urgent need to carry on the family line as much as the Huo family, outstanding heirs are bound to be watched. It is difficult to choose to live a life alone under that kind of pressure.
And I believe that based on their emotional foundation, as long as Yue Chen expresses his attitude, Huo Luo's temper will definitely try to accept his good brother, but Yue Chen never mentioned it at all, and there is no clue in the original text, Huo Luo will not die. You will know that your little one likes you.It can be said that Yuechen's feelings for Huo Luo are too deep, to the extent that it is difficult for him to move forward.
After Lin Qingyang finished talking, Chu Lishu had fallen asleep with his arms in his arms. Lin Qingyang was embarrassed. He felt that they often slept together recently, which made him take it for granted and deal with it calmly.
Lin Qingyang covered Chu Lishu with a quilt, and couldn't help but think that if he also encountered the situation of Yue Chen and Huo Luo, he would...wouldn't find it difficult, and would only care about whether that person had feelings for him.
Outside the house, Yuechen drank another glass of wine by himself before getting up to leave.
But as soon as he stepped out of the cultural museum, he saw a person leaning against the opposite palace wall.
Yue Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he saw Huo Luo who was standing under the shadow slowly come out, frowning and said, "Is it finished?"
"Why didn't you leave?"
"I'm worried."
"What's in the palace..."
"I'm afraid that the thing you thought I would kiss you never happened." Huo Luo said bluntly. After all, he had been driven away by things before, and he couldn't care less about telling the truth. He was driven away by Yuechen alone just now. How can I go, so I just stand in front of the gate and wait for the rabbit.
Hearing this, Yuechen couldn't help but rubbed his temples with a headache.
Huo Luo immediately said: "What is your expression?"
"I also want to ask you, why do you have the nerve to speak up after doing such a thing?" Yuechen said in a deep voice.
Huo Luo's heart trembled when he heard this, and he said directly: "I don't know what you want to express, anyway, I said it today, Yue Chen, let's be together, I didn't bring the jade pendant today, I will send it to you when I return home tomorrow."
Yuechen froze all over, looked up at Huo Luo and said, "When did you have such an idea?"
Huo Luo coughed, "When I came back from Huzhou, I thought so for the first time I gave you a jade pendant."
"Oh? At that time, I obviously hesitated."
"That's not sure what you think." Huo Luo frowned.
"Then you are not sure now."
Huo Luo said seriously: "It's different, this time, I know I have to have you, Yuechen, although I'm not as smart as you, but I'm not stupid, I know, you have me in your heart."
After hearing this, Yue Chen gave a dry laugh, took a step forward suddenly, raised his head and approached, suppressing Huo Luo in his momentum.
"You're right, I have you in my heart, I've always had you." Yuechen's voice became deeper, his eyes became fiercer, he held Huo Luo's face with one hand, and rubbed his thumb against Huo Luo's. lips, which confused Huo Luo for a moment.
In an instant, Huo Luo suddenly understood the desire for him in Yuechen's eyes. It was the most primitive desire of a man. Just now, it was only joking and not serious. Now it seems like a trapped beast has been released. Looking at him, Huo Luo's whole body became hot all of a sudden.
It turned out that one look from Yuechen could make him lose his sense of control, why didn't he notice it before, or was it because Yuechen hid such a look so well that he never saw it before.
"Yuechen..." Huo Luo suddenly lost his mind and wanted to hug Yuechen.
But Yuechen said: "Do you really understand? The matter between men? With your impulsive attachment and fear of my danger, can you really overcome this barrier?"
Huo Luo's face froze, "You tell me this now, didn't I kiss you?"
"It's because you haven't thought about it at all. You always do whatever comes to your mind. Your brain is simple." Yue Chen let go of Huo Luo with a cold face, and seeing that he wanted to refute, he said, "Huo Luo, ten days, ten days later, If you don't change your mind, we'll be together."
Ten days later, when Mo Jiahui came back, the Huo family's engagement would definitely be arranged. This was Yue Chen's reprieve for Huo Luo.
After Yue Chen finished speaking, he turned around and left. Huo Luo froze in place, a little sad. He didn't quite understand why they seemed to be separated by a mountain even though they were in love with each other.
Early the next morning, Huo Luo found that Yue Chen had already left alone. Huo Luo went home depressed, but the Huo family did not reprimand him for leaving the two girls behind. After all, Huo Luo had made great contributions this time. It's an honor that the two girls have also arranged guards, so don't worry about anything.In a few days, they will return to Beijing, so Mrs. Huo thinks it's time to mention it to Huo Luo.
Huo Luo heard that the Huo family had already started preparing for this matter, and suddenly understood what Yuechen's deadline meant last night, and was immediately a little annoyed. He didn't know whether it was because of his own situation or Yuechen's attitude.
"I won't marry Miss Mo." After Huo Luo finished speaking, he planned to find Yue Chen.
However, she was stopped by Mrs. Huo, who persuaded Huo Luo with all the female family members of the house, and even brought out the ancestors of the Huo family. Some people thought that Huo Luo disliked other girls and disfigured them, and reprimanded him for not judging people by their appearance. In the end, Huo Luo was quarreled. You can only fly out with light work.
But when he came to Yue's house, he heard that Yuechen had gone to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Huo Luo obviously felt that Yuechen was avoiding him, and even kept his whereabouts a secret, but the Huo family still didn't give up, thinking it might be that the rough guy didn't understand, and wanted to hide when he heard about getting married, and that's all he wanted if he really wanted to marry. something happened.After all, ancient times paid more attention to the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers. Even if you don't love, you can still give Miss Mo a good home. Anyway, the Huo family likes Miss Mo.
Huo Luo was finally driven to the point of no return, and turned to Chu Lishu for help.
Hearing this, Xu Wenze finally reminded Huo Luo embarrassingly about Mrs. Huo's plan to entertain relatives and friends. They all received invitations, saying that it was an ordinary banquet, but everyone knew in their hearts that they planned to drive ducks to the shelves directly. On such an occasion, it would be difficult for Huo Luo to refuse.
Huo Luo really didn't expect that he refused, and his mother insisted on doing so, obviously not taking his opinion seriously, Huo Luo could only turn his head to look at Chu Lishu.
Chu Lishu didn't expect that he really wanted to help his subordinates solve this kind of trouble. If he had already ascended the throne as the emperor, he would be able to solve it with an imperial decree. He didn't mind being this villain, but now...
In the end, Chu Lishu could only give Huo Luo an idea. Lin Qingyang's mouth twitched, Xu Wenze frowned, but Huo Luo looked at Chu Lishu adoringly.
After Huo Luo accepted this wonderful plan, he seemed to have thought of something, and invited Lin Qingyang to speak alone with a serious face.
Lin Qingyang felt strange, so he followed, but when he heard Huo Luo's serious question, he was dumbfounded. After half an hour, Huo Luo left with a serious face as if he had made great determination. Qingyang blushed, and went back in a daze.
Chu Lishu asked, Lin Qingyang was embarrassed when he was asked, and he didn't say anything even if he was beaten to death. He never expected that Huo Luo could... make such a determination, admiration, really admiration, now he believed it, Huo Luo Luo's feelings are definitely not inferior to Yuechen's.
Although Chu Lishu was a little dissatisfied with Lin Qingyang's secrecy, he didn't force him until they received Huo Luo's invitation to leave the palace and attend the Huo family's banquet.They found time to go home, and then found that Shuncai pulled Lin Qingyang to talk mysteriously as soon as he saw Lin Qingyang.
Now Chu Lishu couldn't bear it anymore, and was looking for an opportunity to ask the answer, but Lu Yi gave the answer directly, calm as Lu Yi also looked surprised and told Chu Lishu about Huo Luoye's visit here to find Shuncai , took away several books and jars of ointment from Lin Qingyang's collection.
Chu Lishu was also a little surprised, but what was even more surprising was that Lin Qingyang secretly collected these things. Chu Lishu couldn't help but find it funny. It seemed that it was his fault again, and Lin Qingyang shouldn't be so lonely.
At the banquet, Chu Lishu and Lin Qingyang sat with Xu Wenze and Yuechen. Xu Wenze is not good at lying to his friends. He knew what was going to happen next, so he was naturally restless. Fortunately, Yuechen was not in the whole process today. , did not notice Xu Wenze's abnormality at all.
Soon the banquet started, Huo Luo was surrounded by the Huo family, and they didn't have a chance to come over to say hello. Huo Luo sat at the main table, and Mo Jiahui sat between him and Huo Xiaomei.However, Mo Jiahui looked natural throughout the whole process, joking with Huo Xiaomei, and occasionally talking to Huo Luo, without any intention of shyness. Talk about love.
Mrs. Huo's face was full of joy. Huo Luo didn't resist these few days, so they felt it was done, and Mo Jiahui had already given enough hints, although Mo Jiahui didn't let go of her promise, nor opened her mouth to refuse, But it also feels like it will fall into place.
Seizing a suitable moment, the most dignified old lady of the Huo family was about to stand up and speak, and the Huo family breathed nervously.
Yuechen looked at everything from a distance, slowly lowered his eyes, suppressed the raging anger in his heart, the wine glass in his hand was almost crushed, and he was waiting for the final answer.If the marriage is announced as a success today, then there is really no possibility for him and Huo Luo.
But suddenly Huo Luo stood up first, interrupting the old matriarch's movement.
