Chapter 32
In other words, there is only one man in the palace, Hulu, otherwise Xiao Guoer might be in trouble.
After Hu Lu inquired about it, he found out that it was Xiao Guoer who had lost too much and wrote such a thick note on the IOU that he almost lifted the table and called the Queen Mother.
In order to stabilize Xiao Guoer who was on the verge of going berserk and reap the fruits of victory, Wan Linglong made concessions and allowed Xiao Guoer to replace the IOUs with valuables on her body.
At that time, Xiao Guoer had already lost all the jewelry on her body. In the end, the Concubine Xian chose her dignity as the Empress of the East Palace and walked out of the Wuyang Palace without any notice, which really shocked Wan Linglong and the other two people.
Hello guys.
Otun Ying was even more amazed, "This bitch is a cruel person!"
Xiao Guoer has always been unpopular in the harem, so she suspected that Wan Linglong was working with Miao Hongxiu and Ao Tunying to plot against her.
"Hey, don't talk nonsense," Hulu pinched her little mouth with his fingers, "It might be possible for Linglong and Hongxiu to join forces. Yingzi and you have always had a good relationship. She won't trick you, right?"
"
"Why not? I was the one who spread the news about her urinating on the bed at the age of eight. She must be taking revenge on me!"
Yu Zhiyu found that it was too late to cover his ears, so he had to prick up his ears and listen carefully. Wow, he is still peeing on the bed at the age of eight!
"Don't worry. Later I told her that I was the one who passed it on. She had a fight with me and the matter was over. She didn't suspect that it was you."
"What?" Xiao Guoer immediately burst into tears again, so moved, "Brother, she didn't hurt you, right?"
"Are you kidding? She was only eight years old at that time, and I could still be bullied by an eight-year-old girl." Hu Lu subconsciously touched his tailbone, saying that there was absolutely no such possibility.
"That's good, brother, you are so kind to Guo'er~" Xiao Guo'er said sweetly.
Hu Lu stroked her head, "So you lost simply because your skills were inferior to your talents. Wan Linglong is a good card counter. It's not unfair for you to lose to her. From now on, you can play rock-paper-scissors with her and lose less."
Xiao Guoer reflected for a moment, "No, but she still has Miao Hongxiu. It's all her fault, Poppy. If you were here last night, I wouldn't have lost so miserably~"
Yu Zhiyu, "I..."
Hu Lu nodded, "It makes sense, two versus two is only fair."
Xiao Guoer was encouraged, "Xiao Yu, let's fight back, let's defend the dignity of the East Palace together and win Wan Linglong's underwear!"
Hu Lu pressed down the impassioned Xiao Guoer, "I'm afraid I can't do it today. Poppy has to go home to visit her relatives. Let's talk about it when we get back."
"Ah, it's so sudden to go home to visit the bride and groom, is it so sudden?"
"It's not sudden. Her eldest brother has returned to Beijing to report on his work. It's time for them to reunite as brothers and sisters." Hu Lu stood up and persuaded Xiao Guo'er to go out, allowing Poppy to take the opportunity to dress and tidy up.
After leaving the room, Xiao Guo'er also took the opportunity to propose, "Then I'll go home and save some money. I'm a little embarrassed to always ask for money from my aunt. This time I'll ask my father and brothers for some."
"It's okay to save money for relatives, but forget about the money. My father-in-law and brother-in-law are both officials, and they don't have much money. They are definitely not as rich as Wan San. Let me give it to you. You can make a list of how much you lost last night."
"Ah, but wouldn't Wan Linglong know about it?" Xiao Guoer's pride was causing trouble. If Wan knew about it, how could she still hang out in the harem in the future?
Hu Lu, "Don't worry, she doesn't even know I have a small treasury."
Xiao Guoer's eyes immediately shone, "Do you want someone to help you manage the small treasury?"
Hu Lu refused, "The money in my hand is money, and in your hand, it is other people's money. Guo'er, you don't have that kind of wealth. After dinner, you should go home to visit your relatives. Oh, and also, please be more caring.
When it comes to Xiao Yan's marriage, he is already twenty-three, and it would be unreasonable for him not to get married."
"Okay, then I'll go back and clean up, and take Jixiang Ruyi with me. If my father and brothers insist on giving pocket money to these two little cuties, I can't stop them~" Xiao Guoer chuckled, turned and left, and just walked out the door.
I feel a chill coming over me.
In the past, once entering the palace, it was as difficult as going to heaven for a concubine to leave the palace. It was considered good to be allowed to marry once in a lifetime.
But Hulu and his concubines in the harem had a unique way of getting along with each other. If they were homesick, it would be easy to meet their relatives in the Liangyi Palace, or go out of the palace to visit relatives, as long as the security work was perfect.
But since they are used to living in the palace, Xiao Guoer and Wan Linglong only leave the palace a few times a year. Miao Hongxiu only leaves the palace when her brother is in the capital.
Poppy and Xiao Guoer left the palace one after another, while Hu Lu was waiting for Lao Ba's reply in the Sixiang Hall.

Yuzhai in Beijing.
Yu Shaoyan went to the Yamen early in the morning. Her wife Sun Muchhen first received the news last night that her father-in-law was coming home today, and then received a message from the palace early in the morning saying that the beautiful Yu family was going home today to visit her relatives.
This made this capable woman very anxious. Without her husband's consultation, and the family's manpower was not enough, she had to ask the maid to go to her parents' house to call for help.
There is no need to make a big fanfare when welcoming the father-in-law, but Yu Zhiyu is now a noble in the palace, and his status is respected and cannot be treated lightly.
Soon, the Yu residence was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. She also went to a restaurant outside to hire a chef. She also bought the most expensive dried fruits. This was the first time she had done this, so she was worried that she might be inconsiderate.
"Girl, do we need to hire a musical instrument troupe?" asked my niece who was eating melon seeds next to me.
"Qiao'er, can you do some work and don't make any random ideas? My aunt is quiet by nature and doesn't like those things. When you see her, you'd better talk less and don't make your aunt angry, you know.
"Sun Muzhen taught.
Sun Qiaoer was very angry. It was unreasonable for the other party to call her aunt even though she was younger than herself!
"Auntie, I also signed up for the show girl election. Don't underestimate me. Maybe Yu Zhiyu and I will be sisters in the palace in the future." Sun Qiaoer laughed silly.
Sun Muzhen looked at her and shook her head. The difference between her niece and her little aunt was as big as water. Even though she was her niece by blood, she still had to say: Daydreams have blinded your heart.
To Sun's surprise, Yu Zhiyu's carriage and sedan arrived earlier than her father-in-law.
Seeing the ultra-luxurious carriage pulled by four tall horses and decorated with gold and silver, like a small moving castle, surrounded by dozens of female guards lined up to protect it, Sun Muchen couldn't help but bend down.
But what Sun Qiaoer thought was: This is how a great beauty should be! He can take her place!
Putao got out of the carriage first, and then she and Yingying, who was in the car, helped Poppy get out of the carriage.
When he saw his niece-in-law, Yu Zhiyu was about to greet her with a smile when Sun Muchen pulled Sun Qiaoer to give Yu Zhiyu a big gift.
This kind of courtesy can only be enjoyed during the Chinese New Year, and usually a red envelope is given in this case.
She didn't bring any red envelopes, but she did bring a lot of treasures. She was very confident and said, "Muzhen doesn't need to be polite. This is a coincidence."
Sun Qiaoer was very energetic just now, but now she kowtows tactfully and says, "I have met my aunt. She is so beautiful. She looks like a fairy in a painting. No wonder she is favored by His Majesty."
Yu Zhiyu's face was slightly red, and he immediately gave her a hosta, and then they went into the room to talk.
"Isn't eldest brother back yet?" Yu Zhiyu asked anxiously.
"The letter said it would arrive early in the morning, but it's almost noon~" Sun Muchhen explained.
Just as he was talking, an old man wearing coarse clothes came in quietly from the door.
Yu Zhiyu was the first to discover him, "Brother!"
Yu Zhihou laughed loudly, but he was not as polite as his daughter-in-law, "When I saw the battle outside, I knew it was Xiao Yu'er who was back. This is the candy man I bought for you in the alley next door."
"Thank you, brother!"
Yu Zhiyu took the candy man and licked it, and asked strangely, "Brother, why are you dressed like this, in official uniform?"
Yu Zhihou waved his hand and said with a smile, "I heard that there were bandits hiding on a hill on the way to Beijing. I put on these clothes for safety reasons. As a result, I didn't encounter the bandits, but I foresaw the bandit-suppressing army."
As he was talking, he saw a young man with fair face and slightly fat face, wearing official uniform, kneeling down in front of Yu Zhiyu.
"The humble minister He Kun has seen the Poppy Queen. She is a thousand years old!"
