Do you want money or land?
Only children make choices.
Adults want it all.
Chonglian had a pair of peach blossom eyes with a reserved smile: "Can I have both?"
A smile flashed across Huo Shang's cold Ruifeng eyes: "I will give you the house to the east of the Qian Mansion as the county lord's palace. The share of the servants in your house will come from the palace."
Qian Residence is the residence where Huo Shang lived when he was still the prince.
Even though he didn't live there now, the land around the Qiandi was very expensive.
What's more important is that even the surrounding feng shui is so good that it can take off immediately! Practicing there will get twice the result with half the effort!
He was so considerate. He provided such a good home and covered all the labor and maintenance costs.
Chonglian's fair little face turned a tender pink color because of pleasure: "Thank you!"
Huo Shang nodded in response.
The two of them walked and talked, keeping their distance, but yet they seemed inexplicably close, and there was a sense of relaxation in every move.
Approaching Shou'an Palace, Huo Shang turned his head and glanced at Chonglian.
The girl's skin was fair and supple, as if her whole body was glowing. Under the moonlight, the mole between her eyebrows did not appear dim, but instead became brighter and redder, revealing a bit of coquettishness.
But such a coquettish red mole on her face does not add a demonic air, but rather exudes a sense of wealth and peace for the country and the people.
Huo Shang's gaze was very aggressive, and Chonglian looked back in confusion: "Your Majesty?"
With this naturally soft voice, it is easy for people to misunderstand that she is seducing, but Huo Shang already knows her very well and knows that she looks timid on the surface, but in fact she is bold and arrogant. The body is a bargaining chip, but it is absolutely impossible.
He helped her up and said, "Your skirt is long, so be careful where you step."
Chonglian didn't know why, but he naturally accepted his kindness.
Years of being a master of metaphysics has made her accustomed to being respected and treated by those in power.
But in the eyes of the people in the Queen Mother's palace, this scene was horrifying.
Huo Shang... would serve a woman so considerately!
The grandma who came out suppressed her surprise and stepped forward respectfully: "Why is the Holy One here too?"
Chonglian saw two completely different emotions in the eyes of the nanny, cautious fear, and superior contempt.
It's really weird.
She was a servant, but she looked down on the king who was above him.
Chong Lian tilted her head and looked at Huo Shang, only to find that the man didn't care about the other person's attitude at all, as if he had long been accustomed to ants showing their teeth and claws.
Huo Shang helped her arm: "Look at the road."
Chong Lian nodded, picked up the other side of her skirt, passed her grandmother and entered the main hall of Shou'an Palace.
Grandma was ignored and did not dare to show her anger, so she hurried in to report.
But at this moment, the Queen Mother had no time to deal with the two of them.
Her dignified and graceful face was full of anger, and she held the wailing six-year-old fat white child like a caring child:
"Why are Hao'er still crying? Are the people in your hospital all trash?"
When she heard that Mammy said that Emperor Qingyuan personally brought Zhong's daughter here, she said in disgust: "Let them wait!"
Mammy didn't dare to say anything anymore and went to the main hall with a straight face: "The Queen Mother is coaxing the little emperor's grandson. Please ask the Holy Lord and... this girl to wait a moment."
The child's shrill cries were the background sound, and she had to speak very loudly.
Chonglian squinted her eyes and glanced at the direction where the child's cry came from, then looked back at the unfinished food on the table.
It seems that the child cried suddenly.
She glanced at Huo Shang.
Huo Shang naturally understood what she meant - she just said that some people would suffer backlash.
But the crying Huo Qinhao was only six years old and could not be the one who instigated Princess Qin to raise ghosts.
If it can be determined that Huo Qinhao's crying is related to backlash, one thing can basically be determined -
The evil cultivator who made the ghost baby had died suddenly before, so retribution would be imposed on the person who ordered it and the people around it.
Chonglian also thought of this.
She walked to the table, took the empty bowl and filled it with water.
Grandma frowned: "What do you want to do?"
Huo Shang said coldly: "Back off."
When grandma saw that his expression was as cold and stern as the Lord of the Underworld, although she was angry in her heart, she had no choice but to retreat, not daring to be too presumptuous.
Chonglian took the chopsticks, muttered something in his mouth, and put the chopsticks into the bowl.
The silver chopsticks were smooth and heavy, but they actually stood straight at the bottom of the smooth bowl!
Grandma's eyes widened and her pupils tightened.
There seemed to be a dark wind blowing around.
The hairs of several palace maids stood on end.
Chong Lian moved the chopsticks with her fingertips. The chopsticks were firm and stood firm.
She raised her eyebrows slightly, walked around the room twice with bowls and chopsticks in hand, and muttered questions.
As she moved around, the water in the bowl rippled, but the chopsticks would not fall over.
Mammy stood closest and saw the most clearly, and her face turned pale with fear - could it be that the little grandson was frightened by something unclean? Just couldn't stop crying? !
She wanted to ask, but seeing Chong Lian Shen Shen nagging, her mouth seemed to be stuck and she couldn't open it.
Chonglian had already gotten the answer she wanted, nodded towards the chopsticks, and then placed the bowls and chopsticks on the table.
When she moved the chopsticks with her fingertips, they fell over easily.
She poured the water from the bowl onto the ground.
The crying of the children in the room paused and started to wail more sharply.
For a moment, there was no other sound in the entire main hall except the Queen Mother's angry scolding and the child's cry.
Chong Lian straightened her skirt and sat down, with a faint smile on her lips, and nodded towards Huo Shang.
Huo Shang frowned, his dark eyes bottomless. It's a backlash! Sure enough, it was the Queen Mother who was plotting behind the scenes again!
When Grandma saw him looking towards the direction of the palace, she suddenly came back to her senses: "This girl! What were you doing just now? Are you cursing the little emperor's grandson?!"
Chonglian shook his head in confusion: "No, I will use silver chopsticks to test whether there is poison in the water."
After that, she poured Huo Shang a cup of tea: "Brother, you have tea."
This title made Grandma hesitate.
Is it the elder brother? Not a concubine?
Grandma said with a straight face: "Do you believe what you say?"
Chonglian poured herself a cup of hot tea, took a warm sip, and sighed happily: "I believe it."
In such a bone-chilling late night, I have to ask someone to come over to chat with me. I really can't sleep, and I don't want to make others feel better.
The Queen Mother is a bad old woman, very bad.
She finished one glass and refilled herself another, as leisurely as if she were at home.
Grandma was shocked and angry, and wanted to give Chonglian something powerful.
Huo Shang suddenly said: "Get lost."
Grandma's neck felt cold, her anger was stagnant, she didn't dare to say anything, she gritted her teeth and went to the Queen Mother:
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty is protecting that demon girl! The demon goddess Shen Naotao is afraid that she will curse the little emperor's grandson!"
The Queen Mother was upset by her darling grandson and was reluctant to get angry at the child. After hearing what her grandma said, her eyes were full of anger and she came over with a sullen face.
She entered the door and saw Chonglian's dazzling face first.
Marquis Anning had only been married for half a year, but she once came to the palace to thank Emperor En for the marriage. She had seen this face at that time and remembered it deeply.
She was a little surprised and confused: "Mrs. An Ninghou? Why are you here?"
Chonglian roared in her heart.
What a dishonest old lady.
The surprise lasted for more than three seconds.
It's just pretending.
This is so interesting. She just showed up in the palace tonight with her face in front of her. The spies from Kang'an Palace who reported to the Queen Mother and took off their clothes were detained outside by Huo Shang's personal guards. They obviously didn't recognize her.
So, where did the Queen Mother know in advance that she and Huo Shang were together?
