Chapter 330 A Little Bit Different

“Of course, I also know that there will definitely be changes one day, just like King Qin became married and went to the Northwest, and King Duan didn’t become married and went to his fiefdom, these gatherings and dispersions are all perfectly normal. Their departure also made me sad, but it was okay, because from childhood, they would have gone out often, and, it was them who left, not someone new who joined.

“Once upon a time, in front of the Empress Dowager, I spoke without fear and pampered her, and in front of the Emperor, I also lost my temper, and had moved his things at will, even if he was unhappy.

“But this time back, the palace more people …… even if she does not appear, I also feel her everywhere, in Ci Ning Palace, the empress dowager three or five sentences must be a sentence to mention her, the emperor there, he also no longer see other people-. It is not necessary for him to attach much importance to me, but, I just suddenly remembered, this go to guangxi, I have been out of that ‘home’, it turns out that I have always been an ‘outsider’.”

Huo Xiu may not be able to understand this emotion, he frowned. “No matter how good it is there, your surname is not Song.”

“But since our parents passed away, there are no elders in our family who treat me like they did. The love I received from the Empress Dowager is something I couldn’t get elsewhere. And perhaps it’s because I’ve gotten so much in the past that once it’s time to divest myself of it, I’m left with all sorts of bad feelings.”

She used to be single-mindedly regarded Empress Dowager Lu as her second mother, and naturally never thought that one day she would have to go back to her status as a courtesan to maintain due propriety. Huo Xiu suggested that she should not live in the palace for fear that she would stir up trouble, and she didn’t because she felt that she was no longer fit.

Intellectually, she knew that she should be happy that the emperor finally had a wife of his choice, but privately, she had a kind of sourness that was hard to talk about – it was as if, as if Zhao Su had taken the empress dowager, who loved her instead of her own mother, and the emperor, who was her older brother, and snatched her away.

Of course she knew it was wrong to think that way.

“If that’s the case, then why are you so attached to her request?” Huo Xiu asked.

“Because I think she’s nice.”

“Nice?”

“Well. I think she’s very kind.” Huo Mingyu raises her head, her face no longer as cloudy as it was earlier, “I don’t know why I find her familiar, and that familiarity doesn’t cause me to reject her, so I thought, maybe if I become friends with her, I’ll be able to find out the answer, right?”

Speaking of which, she looked over again, “Speaking of which, today at the Marquis of Qing Yun’s mansion, Miss Su seemed to have a strange look when she saw her brother. Don’t you think it’s strange?”

Huo Xiu pursed his lips lightly, his gaze deep.

“After she is my cousin’s sister-in-law, then we are all relatives, I also want to make friends with her.” Her voice is more relaxed.

Huo Xiu didn’t say anything, his gaze falling on the books in front of him.

“Marquis.”

The guards arrived outside at some point and bowed, “The third master is waiting for the marquis in the main courtyard.”

Huo Xiu retracts his gaze, and after giving Huo Mingyu a deep look, he walks out.

Duan Shuo is gagging with the boys in the courtyard. When he sees Huo Xiu walk in, he straightens up and bends down, “Marquis.”

Huo Xiu stops in front of him, “I said there’s no need to call me ‘Marquis’.”

Duan Shu raised his head and scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, “I’m used to it.” After speaking, he added, “Big brother.”

Huo Xiu strides through the door, “Have you explored the Luo family’s side?”

“Yes.” Duan Shu then enters the room, “The Luo family’s kid is really a bit off. He wasn’t in the capital on the days of the dock accident, and after that, his movements have been sneaky, and he hasn’t been out of the house for a long time, I’m told.”

Huo Xiu looked at him halfway through sitting down: “So the armor is in his hands in all likelihood?”

“That’s not necessarily true.” Duan Shu shakes his head, “I had someone try his kung fu, and although his martial arts style matches the description of the people at the pier, his kung fu is not necessarily that good. I was also on the boat that night, and if it wasn’t for someone with extremely high kung fu, it would have been impossible for him to get his hands on me.”

Huo Xiu’s face was like a flat lake, no emotions could be seen.

“By the way,” Duan Shu continues, “this Luo Yi, someone saw him and Marquis Qingyun’s Miss Su had several contacts, and it was only after the accident at the pier.”

“Zhao Su?”

Huo Xiu turns his face suddenly.

“Yes.”

Duan Shu is also stunned by his sudden reaction, “Isn’t it surprising?”

Huo Xiu: “Why would they have contact?”

“I don’t know at the moment.”

Huo Xiu frowns.

Duan Shu looks at him, “Even if they have contact, it’s not necessarily because of this, why do you suddenly have such a big reaction?”

Although this reaction is not a surprise, for Huo Xiu, who is accustomed to not showing his anger and joy, it is still a bit sudden.

Huo Xiu looked at the courtyard outside the door and sat in silence for a moment before saying, “This Miss Su seems to be a bit different.”

After hearing this, Duan Shuo smiled broadly, “She is the future queen, is she not comparable to a commoner?”

Seeing Huo Xiu still pondering to himself, he suddenly realized that he might have thought wrongly and said, “Where did she catch your attention?”

Huo Xiu picks up his tea, “Recently in Marquis Qingyun’s mansion, why did she look abnormal after seeing me?”

Duan Shu said, “You noticed?”

Huo Xiu didn’t say anything. As a resident border general with years of experience, that bit of abnormality obviously wouldn’t have escaped his eyes.

“If you don’t know, then I know even less. Is it possible that the two of you had some sort of involvement in the past?” Duan Shu said provocatively.

Huo Xiu glanced across, “Who is this person you’re talking about? This mouth of yours is so unobstructed?”

Duan Shuo silenced, suddenly silent.

Huo Xiu put the tea back on the table and said, “Send someone to check what Luo Yi has to do with him.”

……

The next morning, Zhao Su received a message from Huo Mingyu, saying that the scripture had been found, and because the Huo family had a social gathering in the past two days, she and Cheng Zhuyun were invited to visit the residence every other day.

So Zhao Su is more relaxed, know that he did not look at the wrong person, the county princess is a person of faith. She is also looking forward to this trip, which will open up the possibility of socializing with Huo Mingyu.

The next day in the government office with Cheng Zhuyun to discuss the travel matters not to mention. But it is said that while she was busy with the affairs of the government office, Yun Xiangyi’s errands were reduced by a lot. Now Zhao Su’s words have been written in a decent manner, she is the female teacher in addition to daily corrections, time will often go out on the street, to hear the gossip pick useful to Zhao Su to listen to.

Recently, the city about the Princess’s expedition to the theater she has watched a lot, gradually also interested. This day in the theater booked a seat, and Zhao Ha with to, just sat down at the next table on the assumption that the Princess is still alive, whether or not the title and quarrel.
