Huo Yingwei made a gesture.
Don't worry about it, just drive him out and be done with it. Who has time to listen to his nonsense here?
Huo Shenglei, the second oldest, and Huo Shengyao, the fifth oldest, immediately rolled up their sleeves.
Seeing that Wu Mingdao was about to be thrown out, Sikong Zhen rolled around and tried to trick him, but it didn't work.
At this moment, a voice came from outside the courtyard gate:
"Your Majesty is so unwilling to give me face. It's my palace's face. Isn't it worthy of Your Majesty's favor?"
"Mother concubine!"
Sikong Zhen wiped away tears and rushed forward, "Mother, they bully me!"
Huo Yingwei and others: Can you afford to lose?
Mrs. Hua stepped forward and said, "Concubine Ji is here."
"Old Madam." Concubine Ji greeted her elegantly.
Concubine Ji saw the little pearl in Mrs. Hua's arms at a glance.
She stepped forward with an eager attitude, "Hey, where did this little baby come from? It looks so adorable."
Huo Yingwei originally didn't want to talk to her, but when he heard this, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
Huo Shengyao thought in his heart: Dad, you are really too much of a slave to your daughter.
Huo Yingwei picked up the little orb and showed it off to Concubine Ji.
Concubine Ji wanted to interrupt several times, but could not find a chance to interrupt.
Huo Yingwei wished he could tie her to a chair and listen to himself talk about how cute the little orb was for three days and three nights.
Finally, with Mrs. Hua's look in her eyes, Huo Yingwei finally came to an end.
If Concubine Ji doesn't speak, she will choke to death.
She took a serious look at the little orb and said, "It turns out to be the prince's lost and recovered little daughter. No wonder the prince loves her so much and doesn't even care about the national destiny."
Huo Yingwei: "Here, let's see you off."
Concubine Ji:?
Huo Yingwei said it very bluntly: "In my family, no one who has objections to my daughter is allowed to exist."
Huo Shenglei and Huo Shengyao, one on the left and one on the right, were about to ask her out.
"My lord, don't go too far!" Concubine Ji said angrily.
She came today just to see the little treasure.
She had heard about this little orb from Sikong Zhen before.
Everyone in the Huo family said she was a lucky star, and she wanted to see it with her own eyes.
She was really lucky to have this child, so she tried to find a way to get it to her.
One more lucky star means one more prop to win favors!
Concubine Ji walked up to Xiao Baozhu and said, "My dear, have you ever heard of me?"
Xiaobaozhu shook his head.
Concubine Ji smiled again, "Then do you like me?"
Little Baozhu neither nodded nor shook his head.
She felt... average about her.
It's a feeling that I neither like nor hate.
Concubine Ji smiled sweetly and said, "My little darling, do you want to go to the palace to see it?"
"I don't want to." Xiao Baozhu shook his head.
"There are all kinds of delicious and fun things in the palace, but they are much better than your Prince Huo's Mansion which has nothing."
Concubine Ji continued to seduce, "Come and stay with me in the palace for a few days, and I will give you countless delicious and fun things!"
Xiaobaozhu retreated silently.
This Concubine Ji looks like a legendary human trafficker!
Huo Yingwei waved his hand and asked Concubine Ji to step back.
He dislikes her a little.
"You were yelling and scaring my precious girl just now, and now you want to kidnap her? No, no!"
"I'm not yelling. I'm just saying what the master said."
When Concubine Ji saw that Xiao Baozhu was not getting close to her, she straightened up and acted like a noble concubine.
She spoke matter-of-factly.
"Things that affect the fate of the country should only be big or small. If the prince is not guilty, he should let the master take a good look at it."
Before Huo Yingwei and the others could speak, Concubine Ji made a movement to stop them.
"None of you should stop this matter. If you do, I will report this matter to the emperor and let the emperor make a decision."
Xiao Baozhu looked at Concubine Ji, then quietly lay next to Huo Yingwei's ear and said:
"Didn't Daddy say that it's in bad taste to just shake someone if you can't beat them?"
Huo Yingwei burst into laughter.
"I'm not joking with you!" Concubine Ji said with a cold face, "When the time comes, don't say that your identity as a prince is not guaranteed -"
Concubine Ji didn't say the last half of the sentence.
But the Huo family's expressions changed accordingly.
Only Sikong Zhen was arrogant, jumping up and down: "Yes, concubine, take care of her!"
Xiao Baozhu is a little confused. What will happen after the prince's identity is not guaranteed?
"It's nothing." Huo Yingwei comforted Xiao Baozhu.
As long as she doesn't want to, even if the King of Heaven is here today, don't try to put the word "unfortunate" on his daughter.
But if you are as smart as a small pearl, you can probably guess that it must be something big.
Xiao Baozhu's pink face was filled with seriousness and helplessness.
"Then, Grandpa Wumingdao, what do you want?"
Really, for such an old person, he still has trouble with her.
So childish.
Concubine Ji glanced at Wu Mingdao.
It took her a lot of effort and money to discover the master of Wu Mingdao.
He wouldn't hit her in the face, would he?
"Please also ask Concubine Ji to take charge of the overall situation." Wu Mingdao's arrogance came back again.
Whether it's the prince or the favored concubine in this dilapidated palace, which one has the toughness, you can tell with your knees.
Sikong Zhen also helped.
"Don't worry, my mother-in-law is here and I will definitely support you!"
Okay, okay.
Huo Yingwei didn't do anything anymore.
The three people in front of me seemed to be seriously ill.
He didn't let them do it, not because he felt guilty, but because he was defending the dignity of his precious daughter.
But now, my daughter has said it’s okay, so it’s okay.
"Please borrow the altar for use." Wuming said.
Altar?
What altar?
"Oh, you're talking about that thing."
Huo Yingwei remembered.
An altar is a platform used to place sacrifices to gods and ancestors during festivals and festivals.
This thing originally existed in the palace.
But Prince Huo's Mansion really couldn't produce any offerings. Later, when they ran out of firewood, they chopped them up and burned them.
Wuming said: ...? ? ?
This is a royal palace after all, should it be so difficult? !
Concubine Ji had long been accustomed to this matter, "I can send someone back to the palace to get it."
"No need." Wu Mingdao said, "...just pick up any table."
After a while.
The table was brought.
It had three legs. Huo Shengyao stuffed two bricks down the broken leg.
Wu Mingdao's cheeks turned slightly red, "Are you fooling me?!
Xiao Baozhu looked at Wuming and said, "Grandpa Wuming, this is the best table in our house."
Xiao Baozhu's gaze was so innocent that Wuming Dao did not dare to say anything more.
Forget it, it would be nice to have a table.
Can't be too picky.
He thought for a while, "Candles are always available at home, right?"
"Just finished it." Huo Yingwei smiled brightly, showing two rows of big white teeth.
Is this really the palace?
Wu Mingdao was very suspicious.
He is a prince after all. Does he have to go to the streets to beg for food to support himself? !
Huo Yingwei poked Concubine Ji, "If you want to use it, let her buy it. She has money."
Wu Mingdao and Ji Fei were almost out of breath.
This Prince Huo's Mansion is too poor!
