I, the wanderer of the universe, love making friends

Chapter 94: Mother, put your hair up quickly
Seven years later.

Xiaoyao Palace in the Western Xia Imperial Palace.

Shen Lang was enjoying himself inside. This place was designed by him personally.

However, considering the national strength of Western Xia, he only spent a small amount.

Moreover, he advocated the unity of man and nature, so any concubine who enjoyed himself with him could wear as much as she wanted.

And for this purpose, she designed several sexy lingerie that are worthy of being recorded in history.

The women in the palace were also very insightful. They wanted to surpass him in this regard and designed many bold underwear in various styles.

However, Shen Lang has not enjoyed himself in the past few years. He first took Li Qiu Shui into the harem as a concubine according to the plan, and then killed several disobedient ministers' families and let Li Qiu Shui take charge of the government.

Because the Dangxiang people were accustomed to the monopoly of the mother party.

In addition, he made Li Qiushui pregnant again and gave birth to a child, and went out from time to time to do some things that "Prince Duan" was not convenient to do.

However, Empress Dowager Liang Luoyao has always been dissatisfied with this.

Liang Luoyao was a descendant of the Han Chinese. She did not have a good life in Western Xia when she was young and was discriminated against.

Just like the people in the Central Plains have always believed that foreigners are uncivilized and barbaric, so they always have a natural sense of superiority when facing foreigners.

She is a natural beauty. When she grows up, she is tall and graceful, beautiful as a flower. Any man who sees her will stop and look at her.

Due to her stunning beauty, legends about her quickly spread throughout Xixia. Some people even said that Liang Luoyao was a fairy from heaven, and whoever could marry such a woman would have good luck.

Soon the legend about Liang Luoyao reached the ears of Xixia minister Mo Zang Epang. Because she always retained the graceful and delicate beauty of a Han Chinese woman, she was noticed by the son of the powerful minister Mo Zang Epang and was married to him.

So she married into this famous wealthy family in Western Xia at the age of twelve. Liang Luoyao was considered to be marrying up to marry into such a prominent family.

However, married life was not as good as Liang Luoyao had imagined, because she found out that her husband was not a hero, but a playboy who was addicted to wine and sex. She was very disappointed and unwilling to get close to her husband.

Because Liang Luoyao was the sister-in-law of Queen Mo Zang, she often went to visit Mo Zang in the palace. As she went there more often, she would often run into Emperor Li Liangzuo who was playing in the harem.

Liang Luoyao was not a decent person either. She started to cheat on her husband at a young age and became the secret lover of the young emperor Li Liangzuo.

After Mo Zang Epang learned about the affair between Liang Luoyao and Li Liangzuo, he discussed with his son and planned to take immediate action to kill Liang Luoyao and Li Liangzuo and establish a new king.

Li Liangzuo decided to take action first and joined forces with the general Man Me to catch the turtle in the jar. He killed Mo Zang Epang and his entire family, even his own queen.

After Queen Mo Zang died, Li Liangzuo made Liang Luoyao the queen. Liang Luoyao said goodbye to the Mo Zang family completely and embarked on her journey in the political arena of Western Xia, stepping on the blood of her ex-husband's family.

After Liang Luoyao became the queen at the age of ten, she soon gave birth to the prince Bingchang, who was later made the crown prince. Before the crown prince grew up, Li Liangzuo was injured in a battle and died of his injuries.

So Liang Luoyao, who was less than 20 years old, supported her young son as the empress dowager, presided over the government, became the actual controller of the Western Xia Dynasty, and obtained the power and status she had always dreamed of.

But the good times did not last long. After only a few years, this "youngest son" began to remove obstacles with thundering means. Not only did he marry a foreign woman as queen, he also let this woman take charge of the government and directly deprived her of her rights.

In addition, Liang Luoyao could never get rid of her Han identity, so when the emperor grew older, the Dangxiang nobles in the court began to oppose her rule.

She originally wanted to find an opportunity to deal with Queen Li Qiu Shui, but she didn't expect that woman to kill all her guards.

Liang Luoyao was almost scared to death on the spot.

He didn't even dare to ask whether Li Qiushui gave birth to a boy or a girl.

However, after Li Qiushui took control of the government, Shen Lang basically stayed in the harem to enjoy himself, which made Liang Luoyao feel very uncomfortable.

And she had a conflict with Li Qiu Shui today, so she rushed straight to Xiaoyao Palace in anger.

"Greetings, Empress Dowager." The palace maid guarding outside the door bowed to her respectfully.

Liang Luoyao asked coldly, "Is His Majesty in there?"

"Yes, I will report it right away."

"No need, I will go find him myself." Liang Luoyao said with a cold face.

The palace maid immediately opened the palace door for him.

Before entering, there was another passage about three meters long in front of me, with pink light shining through the walls on both sides.

After walking through this passage, there is another door in front of you.

Pushing the door open, there was another bead curtain, and a melodious and graceful music came into my ears, mixed with giggles and voices.

Lifting the pearl curtain and entering the palace, although the space inside is not large, it is magnificent.

The air is filled not only with the sound of music, but also with bursts of fragrance.

In addition, there were eight or nine beautiful girls with slim figures and cool clothes, each of them was only covered with a light gauze, hazily covering their private parts.

At first glance, there were people playing musical instruments and singing softly, with incomprehensible lyrics.

A disheveled man was lying on the huge soft couch against the wall, and two young women were feeding him fruit.

Liang Luoyao frowned, took light steps, and slowly entered the room. Upon seeing her, the graceful women hurriedly stood up and bowed respectfully, saying, "Greetings to the Empress Dowager."

Liang Luoyao's face was as cold as ice, and she shouted in a cold voice: "Everyone get out! Now, immediately!"

"As you command!" The women did not dare to hesitate for a moment. They turned around and left in a hurry.

However, there was only one woman who remained standing there without moving. This woman looked extremely similar to the queen.

Seeing that she dared to disobey her will, Liang Luoyao frowned again and said angrily, "Are you deaf?"

At this time, Shen Lang, who had been reclining on the couch, said, "Let's go out first. Let's get some fresh air outside."

The woman nodded slightly when she heard that, then walked out.

From beginning to end, she never looked at Liang Luoyao, let alone greeted her, leaving only a faint woman's fragrance lingering in the air.

After these women had all left, Shen Lang stood up, bowed to Liang Luoyao, and said loudly: "My son greets the Queen Mother."

At this time, Liang Luoyao was not yet 30 years old, in the prime of her youth, and was truly stunning and charming.

In addition, she was born with a peerless beauty that could make all men in the world fall in love with her. As the years passed, this charming charm not only did not diminish in the slightest, but instead became more mature and charming, which was fascinating.

Even though her face was cold at this moment, her cheeks were still as red as peach blossoms, her face was as delicate as blooming apricot blossoms, her figure was graceful and her manners were elegant.

"Forget it!" Liang Luoyao's face was as cold as ice and her tone was icy. The voice seemed to be able to freeze the air around them.

She stared at Shen Lang in front of her, her eyes flashing with undisguised dissatisfaction and anger.

"Your Majesty is so leisurely. You actually leave all the heavy state affairs to your queen to handle, while you hide here and enjoy yourself." Liang Luoyao's words pierced Shen Lang like sharp arrows, and every word was full of blame.

However, Shen Lang was not greatly affected. He chuckled and said, "I like this. Life is short, so enjoy it while you can."

After saying this, he took a sip of the wine in his hand, looking relaxed and contented.

Seeing this, Liang Luoyao's anger grew even stronger. She flicked her sleeves and swept her sharp eyes across Shen Lang.

He scolded her in a deep voice, "As the ruler of a country, you indulge yourself like this, indulging in sensual pleasures all day long. How can you be considered an emperor at all?"

Faced with Liang Luoyao's questioning, Shen Lang was not at all flustered. Instead, he suddenly raised his head and laughed.

After the laughter died down, he turned around, looked at Liang Luoyao with a smile, and slowly said, "Oh? So according to what Queen Mother said, what does an emperor look like? Does that mean I should hand all power back to Queen Mother?"

Hearing Shen Lang's words, Liang Luoyao's face changed slightly. She obviously didn't expect Shen Lang to expose her thoughts so directly.

But she quickly adjusted her mood.

He forced himself to remain calm and said, "That's not my intention. I simply feel that as an emperor, you should prioritize the country and its people, and not indulge in comfort and pleasure. Otherwise, how can you live up to the people's expectations of you? How can you guarantee the country's long-term stability?"

"Why does your mother have to act so hypocritically in front of our family?" Shen Lang put down the cup.

He said slowly, "Mother, you married into another family at the age of 12, and then you secretly had an affair with the late emperor. In order to get your wish and ascend to the supreme and noble throne of empress, you even sacrificed the lives of your entire family as a price. You are so cruel and unscrupulous, could it be..."

Before Shen Lang could finish his words, Liang Luoyao opened her eyes wide in anger, raised her hand and slapped him fiercely.

Snapped!
The slap landed hard on Shen Lang's face, making a crisp and loud sound.

Given Shen Lang's extraordinary skills, there is no way Liang Luoyao can beat him.

But in fact, he did all this on purpose.

Liang Luoyao's expression instantly turned gloomy as ice. Her eyes blazed with fire as she sternly scolded, "Do you even know what nonsense you're talking about?"

"Of course I understand." Shen Lang nodded calmly, then continued slowly, "However, I wonder if you, mother, have ever heard of this old saying?"

Without waiting for Liang Luoyao to ask further questions, he continued, "There's an old saying: 'At home, obey your father; after marriage, obey your husband; after your husband's death, obey your son.' As a Han Chinese descendant, I'm sure the Queen Mother is familiar with this principle."

"What exactly do you want to say?" Liang Luoyao felt her heart skip a beat, and an ominous premonition suddenly came to her mind.

Shen Lang said, "What I want to say is that the late emperor has passed away, and the Queen Mother must often feel lonely. It just so happens that I am full of energy and can relieve the Queen Mother's loneliness..."

"Pa!" Liang Luoyao slapped him again. She was so angry that her whole body was shaking. She cursed: "Beast! Beast!"

Shen Lang still kept smiling: "I learned all this from you, the Queen Mother."

"Asshole!" Liang Luoyao was so angry that her eyes were about to spit fire. "You beast! How can you talk nonsense like this?"

Snapped!
Shen Lang slapped her onto the couch with a backhand slap, and said coldly: "I respect you and call you mother. Otherwise, I will call you cousin. If you are obedient, I will give you power. Otherwise, your Liang family will be beheaded long ago."

Liang Luoyao looked at him with horror. After a moment, she suddenly stood up and ran outside.

But he was pulled back.

"What are you going to do?" Liang Luoyao's voice was already trembling. "I am your mother. You can't do something that is against the will of heaven."

Shen Lang looked down at her condescendingly: "Mother, quickly put your hair up, I'm very angry now..."
