Chapter 37

037 under the mask

But no one can deny that Huo Qijun, the Marquis of Yunyang, is the most dazzling pearl on the crown of the Xia empire.

After the sabre light and sword shadow, the evil young man surnamed Zhang ran away. Shen Qingru, who calmed down, straightened her clothes and bowed her knees: "Shen Qingru, the eldest daughter of prime minister Cheng's residence, thank you for saving your life. Now that everything is all right, the little woman will take the first step."

A faint voice came from behind the curtain: "no, girl, please." Huo Qijun saw the girl opposite through the curtain. Her appearance was not beautiful, but she had a beautiful and smart look. When he spoke, he had a slight smile on his face. He looked gentle and elegant, which made people never expect that the gentle looking girl would be so strong when she just faced the evil young man.

Now, facing him, she is also so humble and arrogant. The girl is very interesting. Huo Qijun felt his chin and thought.

"Little daughter, Prime Minister Shen Muyun, thank you for your help." Shen Muyun came in a graceful way and saluted Huo Qijun in the carriage.

Shen Muyun has heard of this famous young general all over the world. It is said that he is both literate and martial. He is as handsome as a relegated fairy and as graceful as a Zhilan Yushu. Today's emperor nicknamed him "Yulang". Later, when he went to battle, he put on a mask because he was too handsome to frighten the enemy.

Shen Muyun leaned over and looked into the carriage with autumn eyes. His eyes were full of waves and his eyes were affectionate. He looked forward to the handsome young general unveiling his mask and chatting with her on the bus.

A faint "um" came from the carriage. Shen Muyun waited for a long time and didn't have a second word.

Is it because the marquis in the carriage didn't see her peerless appearance?

Shen Muyun was puzzled, so he listened to the people in the carriage lightly tell the bodyguard: "don't go quickly." his tone was slightly unhappy, as if he had been disturbed.

Huo Qijun has seen enough mediocre fat and vulgar powder pasted, and she is not the only one Shen Muyun.

"Second sister, aren't you afraid of being late for the imperial examination? You'd better take the first step." Shen Qingru couldn't stand Shen Muyun's drooling face and couldn't help interrupting.

"What about you, big sister?" Shen Muyun said with concern: "your carriage was knocked apart."

Shen Qingru's carriage has been smashed by the domestic slaves under the evil young man and can't be used anymore. Shen Qingru sighed. Now he can only let the coachman go back to the house and let the house send another carriage to pick her up.

"Jing Shu, thank you, young master. Thank you, miss, for saving your life." the young girl who was molested by evil young people calmed down at this time and thanked Huo Qijun and Shen Qingru.

Huo Qijun still snorted coldly. Shen Qingru had to harden her head and accept the girl's thanks: "girl, don't be polite, that..."

"Jing Shu, like Miss, is also going to take the imperial college entrance examination. Please show mercy and take Jing Shu with you..." the girl named Jing Shu begged anxiously and knocked her head to the ground, looking pitiful.

"This..." Shen Qingru hesitated. There was no extra carriage to carry Jing Shu. If Jing Shu wanted to wait for the prime minister's residence to send a carriage with her, I was afraid it would be too late.

Jingshu is wearing an old denim skirt. The skirt has been washed white, and her black hair is only pulled up with an ordinary wooden hairpin. There is no ornament all over her. At first glance, she is from a poor family. Listen to Jingshu's accent, it doesn't look like a native.

Shen Qingru doesn't dare to agree to Jingshu's request at will. In her opinion, the imperial college examination is just an examination. Even if she loses the election, it's no big deal. Yu Jingshu, however, may be a thrifty family. Collecting the fare is all the hope of a poor family.

"Elder sister, the girl is so poor, it's better to..." Shen Muyun said with a smile: "it's better for the elder sister to come to my carriage with the girl, and I'll take my five younger sisters with me."

If it wasn't for Shen Huiyu, Shen Muyun didn't want to take this inconvenient light bulb.

Shen Qingru really didn't expect that Shen Muyun was so thick skinned that he hadn't opened his mouth yet. The bodyguard around Huo Qijun had opened his mouth and denounced: "bold!"

Shen Muyun pouted wrongfully, and the glittering and translucent tears wet her eyelashes. Qin Shi once said that she looked the most moving. Shen Muyun said in a pitiful voice: "if you offend the Lord, please don't quarrel with the little girl."

This woman is counting on him.

Huo Qijun gently raised his mouth: "in this case, please ask the eldest lady and the fifth lady to come to my carriage."

Yang Jingshu bowed to the ground and dared not look up at the noble man in the car. She had never seen such a man with high temperament and like a relegated immortal. Although most of his face was covered by the mask, she was sure that there must be a beautiful face under the mask.

For a moment, she was worried that the noble man could say a word to her and let her go in his carriage. However, as soon as Lord Huo opened his mouth, he broke her little fantasy.

Sure enough, such a noble and handsome man can't be imagined by a person like her?

Shen Qingru never thought that Lord Huo would suddenly say such a sentence. His brain crashed. Although he felt it was inappropriate, he thought carefully that there was only such a way at present.

"Thank you, marquis," Shen Qingru said cautiously.

Shen Muyun almost tilted her mouth angrily and looked at Shen Qingru jealously. She carefully hugged Shen Huiyu and boarded the Marquis's carriage. The carriage immediately drove towards the Forbidden City.

"Damn Shen Qingru." Shen Muyun cursed fiercely, and Yang Jingshu carefully shrunk. Shen Muyun's anger finally found a vent object. She looked at Yang Jingshu with a smile: "you also came to take the imperial college entrance examination?"

Yang Jingshu replied timidly, "yes." although the young lady's face is much more beautiful than the young lady just now, she can clearly feel the young lady's malice towards her.

"You have such a face that you even want to be a crown princess?" Shen Muyun pretended to be surprised and looked at Yang Jingshu with mocking eyes.

"Jing Shu came for the imperial college entrance examination. Jing Shu didn't know anything else." Yang Jing Shu shrunk and replied boldly.

"Pa" a slender jade hand dyed with Dan Kou was ruthlessly thrown on Yang Jingshu's face, leaving five bright red fingerprints on her white face. Yang Jingshu covered her face in horror.

"You're an ugly girl. You don't deserve to lift shoes for imperial college students." Shen Muyun smiled beautifully, but it was like the most evil poppy.

"I think you look a little similar to Shen Qingru. No wonder she defended you everywhere just now." Shen Muyun said badly.

Yang Jingshu covers her face and lowers her head. She carries the hope of the whole family. She loves her mother. In order to collect enough travel expenses to Beijing, she has sold the last pig at home. If she can't go to Imperial College, she can only go back to the poor village, marry an alcoholic like her mother, and live a life without any hope.

What is this little humiliation compared to that dark day?

She silently followed behind Shen Muyun and stepped on the carriage again.

Shen Qingru hugged Shen Huiyu and stared awkwardly at Lord Huo. There was a lot of space in the carriage, but there was only her, five sisters and Lord Huo on the big carriage. They would inadvertently meet one in their eyes.

Besides, Shen Huiyu shrunk in her arms and told her in a low voice: "big sister, this marquis is so terrible."

Lord Huo's whole body exudes an iceberg aura that strangers are not allowed to enter. No wonder he will scare little Laurie.

Shen Huiyu's voice was loud enough to echo in the empty carriage. Shen Qingru held her forehead and sighed, which was even more embarrassing.

"Lord Hou, he just saved us. He's a good man, so don't be afraid of the fifth sister." Shen Qingru comforted little Laurie in a soft voice.

Little Lori poked her head out of Shen Qingru's arms, looked suspiciously at Huo Qijun, and quickly retracted back.

"However, his mask is very scary..." Shen Huiyu continued to "whisper".

Tong yanwuji, Tong yanwuji... Shen Qingru embarrassedly handed a look of "children are not sensible, please forgive me" to Hou Ye Huo, and then explained to little Lori: "that's because Hou Ye's appearance is too handsome to frighten the enemy, so he put on the mask."

Shen Huiyu looked at her suspiciously with clear eyes. Shen Qingru nodded with great certainty in the eyes of Lord Huo, so Shen Huiyu peeped at handsome Huo with a smile.

Although Shen Qingru gave Shen Huiyu a positive answer, she was also confused in her heart.

This Marquis Yunyang really wears a mask because he is too handsome?

Are you sure it's not... Ugly?

These days, rumors in the capital may not be credible. Even Xiao Qiyu is boasted to be the most beautiful man in the capital. In Shen Qingru's opinion, it is very possible to put gold on his face.

Even in order to frighten the enemy, he put on the mask, but it has reached the boundary of the capital. Why should Yunyang Hou wear the mask?

Sure enough, it's still because... Ugly. Shen Qingru feels that his logical analysis is impeccable.

Naturally, she did not know the real reason why Huo Qijun wore a mask.

Lord Huo just felt that there were too many crazy women in the capital. As a person who had suffered losses, Lord Huo felt that he would be safer to wear a mask.

Just, the girl opposite seems to be full of sympathy in his eyes?

Huo Qijun suddenly felt a little confused. He naturally didn't need to prove anything to Shen Qingru, but

"Does Miss Shen want to see the real face under Ben Hou's mask?" Lord Huo suddenly opened his mouth and made Shen Qingru stunned again.

How did she feel that the Lord's brain circuit was really not playing cards according to common sense?

"No, don't..." Shen Qingru stammered politely. She didn't know that Huo Qijun under the mask was angry. Why didn't this woman play cards according to common sense?
