Chapter 128 Isn't the reward for this competition just a jade pendant?

Emperor Wu was already sitting on the main hall, and the civil and military ministers and envoys returned to their seats. Huo Guang and Huan Wuping stood side by side at the table.

The result of the competition was already very clear. Huo Guang's victory was not because of Huan Wuping's withdrawal, but because Huo Guang's article deserved the first place.No one dared to question Huo Guang's achievements.

The envoys of the Japanese mission were also convinced. Although they hoped that Huan Wuping could win, the fact is that Huo Guang's palindromic poems were impeccable. Huan Wuping's automatic surrender saved the face of the Japanese country.

Amidst the admiration and praise of everyone, Huo Guang tried his best to maintain his humble and introverted image. He really didn't take this competition too seriously. Was it for the jade pendant in the first place?

Huo Guang only hoped that Emperor Wu would not directly take out the jade pendant in front of his eldest brother when he "presented the award" to him. It would be embarrassing. Huo Qubing would definitely ask why the jade pendant he gave him went to the emperor. Huo Guang just didn't want Huo Qubing Knowing that he actually lost the jade pendant and it happened to be picked up by the emperor, even he himself didn't believe this theory.

Emperor Wu announced the result of the competition in front of everyone. Huo Guang won the No.1 contest and won the jade pendant and a mysterious award. Only Huo Guang was left alone.

This is exactly what Huo Guang wanted. Others want to present awards in front of everyone, so as to save face, but Huo Guang doesn't want it. When he saw Huo Qubing's figure leave, he let out a long sigh of relief.

Everyone has retreated, and there are only three people left in the huge palace, Emperor Wu, Huo Guang, and Liu Sheng.Of course, this is something that can be seen. In front of the hall,,,, and behind the screen, there are Princess Rong'an and Qiao'er.

Qiaoer's little hands were cold. She didn't know why, but she was so nervous for the first time. She lowered her voice and said, "Princess, when can we go out to meet Mr. Huo?"

"No hurry." Rong An said pretending to be calm.

She wanted to rush out more than Qiao'er, but she couldn't yet, and she told herself that she was not in a hurry.

Qiaoer's little hand unconsciously grabbed Rongan's arm, and because she was too nervous, she grabbed it tighter and tighter, "Princess."

"Hush!" Rong An was very upset by Qiao'er's restlessness, she said patiently, "Wait for His Majesty to announce."

Emperor Wu showed a rare kindness, his deep eyes were bottomless, and he stared at this handsome young man in His Highness, and his liking in his heart increased a bit.

Huo Guang glanced at Emperor Wu secretly, and thought, why not just give me a jade pendant, as for looking at me so affectionately, as if looking at his future son-in-law.

Emperor Wu didn't speak, and Huo Guang didn't speak well. Originally, he lowered his head slightly, but Emperor Wu looked at it for too long, Huo Guang's heart turned, and he directly raised his head to meet Emperor Wu's gaze.

You've seen enough, it's time to give me my jade pendant, Huo Guang just waited to take the jade pendant and leave.

Emperor Wu found that Huo Guang didn't bow his head at a loss, but instead looked at himself with charming and clear eyes, and laughed, "Huo Guang, you are Huo Qubing's younger brother, he is my nephew, and you are also my own." nephew."

Huo Guang was a little confused, why Emperor Wu suddenly said such a sentence, but there was nothing wrong with it, Huo Guang cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your love."

Emperor Wu curled his lips with satisfaction and continued, "I and Marquis Changming are brothers. Her daughter is my daughter, and his son-in-law is my son-in-law. I will hold a wedding for you according to the standards of a princess."

What the hell?wedding!

Huo Guang looked confused, and suddenly opened his eyes wide, suspecting that he had heard it wrong, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Huo Guang didn't understand what you said."

Of course he didn't understand, because he thought that the reward for the Biwen Competition was only a jade pendant, and because that jade pendant was given to him by Huo Qubing, that's why Huo Guang signed up for the competition.

Emperor Wu thought that Huo Guang was shy, so he deliberately said that he didn't understand. He couldn't help but feel that Huo Guang was more lovable when he was shy, and glanced at Liu Sheng beside him.

Liu Sheng also thought so, and burst out laughing, "Your Majesty, look, Captain Huo has become shy."

Huo Guang was even more confused, he was so shy, brother really didn't understand, he almost said directly, quickly take out the jade pendant, brother took the jade pendant and went home to catch up on sleep, he got up too early in the morning, he was really sleepy.

Emperor Wu looked at Huo Guang with a dazed face, but he was not angry, and continued, "You won this competition, and you should get the final reward and honor."

Are you going to give him the jade pendant?Huo Guang was ecstatic, Xiaoji nodded like pecking at rice, and finally wanted to give him the jade pendant, that's great.

Huo Guang's expression of bewilderment for a while, and joy for a while, looked particularly funny to Emperor Wu and Liu Sheng.

It seems that this silly boy understands, so we can continue the conversation, Emperor Wu said again, "I will order someone to fix an auspicious day for you and Rong An to marry, and on the wedding day, Rong An will be announced as the successor of the title, and you can manage the fief of Beiguan together. .”

If Huo Guang could pretend not to understand just now, he couldn't understand it now. This was too obvious because a name appeared that he couldn't forget, Rongan!
Huo Guang only felt a buzzing sound in his head, and it went blank. '

Seeing that Huo Guang was not in a hurry to answer, Emperor Wu continued, "Some old ministers are stubborn. The inheritance of titles is related to the ancestral etiquette. I also have no power to do so. But you and Rong An can discuss everything. Rong An is indeed a woman. After all, I am a woman, and I can't avoid the responsibility of being a husband and a child, if you don't bother me with many problems, I will pretend not to know, what I mean, do you understand?"

Emperor Wu has already made it very clear, that is, the fief belongs to your family, and the children are the children of both of you. In the future, as long as the husband and wife do not come to Chang'an to fight with each other, Emperor Wu will pretend not to know what will happen to your small family.

What kind of grace is this, when ordinary people hear Emperor Wu say that, they should kneel down to thank him.

But Huo Guang was still frozen in place, his eyes unblinking, his expression stiff, and the muscles in his cheeks twitching slightly.

Liu Sheng was anxious, and urged, "Captain Huo, please thank you."

Huo Guang was still immersed in his surprise and ignored Liu Sheng.

Emperor Wu's love for Huo Guang was manifested at this time. He was not angry because Huo Guang didn't thank him. On the contrary, he felt that Huo Guang might be at a loss because the favor he gave was too pleasantly surprised. young.

The huge hall was quiet, and Emperor Wu and Liu Sheng on the stage were waiting for Huo Guang to come out of surprise.

But Huo Guang in the audience was only frightened but not happy.

Huo Guang swallowed hard, and said tentatively, "Your Majesty, isn't our prize for this competition a jade pendant engraved with Huo?"

Emperor Wu was startled for a moment, "What jade pendant? This competition is actually to find a son-in-law for Rongan."

Huo Guang felt a bolt of lightning hit his back, and a chill ran down his spine.
