Chapter 24 The Fairy and the Ugly

Time passed by, and Lu Huaiqi hadn't returned home since he was called into the palace that night.

However, Shen Qingli still went to the dining hall to eat every day according to the agreement with Lu Huaiqi, and she also took good care of the cinnabar purple robe that Lu Huaiqi entrusted her to take care of.

Prince Mu Yunheng's 15th birthday was supposed to be celebrated, but this year because of Empress Shen's accident, the emperor ordered him to close the palace for three months. Prince Mu Yunheng's birthday was also kept a low profile.

After Mu Yunheng's birthday was Shen Qingjiao's birthday.

Lu Huaiqi hadn't come back since entering the palace the day before yesterday, so Shen Qingli could only attend Shen Qingjiao's wedding ceremony this day.

When the carriage from Dudu's Mansion arrived at An Guo Gong's Mansion, there was already a buzz of people here.

Shen Qingli got off the carriage with the help of Ran Mo.Her gaze followed the golden plaque of the Duke of Anguo's mansion all the way to the mansion with high walls and green tiles, and her dark eyes were filled with haze.

She was born here, and her life was buried here.

"Second Miss!" A friendly voice suddenly sounded in Shen Qingli's ears, she raised her eyes and looked closely, and saw Chen Nai, the personal nun next to Mrs. An Guogong's wife Ning, walking towards her with a friendly face.

Her biological mother was just a dowry maid by Ning's side, and Shen Jinfeng raped her biological mother after getting drunk one time.Her biological mother was able to conceive her.It's just that after she was pregnant in October, her biological mother died of dystocia after giving birth to her.

She has been recorded under Ning's name since she was a child, and she can be regarded as the first daughter of An Guogong's mansion.

"Second Miss, Madam knows that you will come back today, so she has kept this old slave here waiting for you." Nanny Chen bowed to Shen Qingli, "Second Miss, you can go in with this old slave to see Madam."

Shen Qingli took a deep look at Nanny Chen. Whether it was before or now, Nanny Chen's attitude towards her didn't seem to have changed, and she always regarded her as the second lady of the Duke An's Mansion politely.

The servant followed the master. Although her aunt Ning was not very close to her since she was a child, she was also polite and did not abuse the concubines like other aunts.

It's just that the gate of the house is deep, and there are too many people who have different appearances and different hearts.After all, the Ning family is Shen Qingjiao's biological mother, and she must hope to praise Shen Qingjiao in her heart.

After Shen Qingli responded to Nanny Chen in a low voice, she followed her into Duke Anguo's mansion.She left for a year, but there was no change in the mansion.

Nanny Chen led her directly to the courtyard where Mrs. Ning lived.As soon as she reached the door, she heard chatter and laughter coming from the room.

With drooping eyelids, she stretched her waist and entered the room.

In the room, the clothes are fragrant and the shadows on the temples are lively and harmonious.When she came, the lively atmosphere suddenly fell silent.Shen Qingli immediately noticed countless eyes looking at her.

There are contempt, contempt, and gloating in these eyes, but there is no... pity.

"My concubine pays her respects to Mrs. An Guogong." Shen Qingli walked up to Ning Shi and bowed to her.

Through the veil, Ning couldn't see clearly how damaged her face was.But after she saluted her, she stood up from her seat with a smile on her face, came to Shen Qingli and held her hand, "A Li, I haven't seen you for a long time, my mother."

There was worry on her face, and a gleam of joy in her eyes, like a loving mother who loves her daughter.

Shen Qingli's brows were faint.

In the entire Anguo Duke's mansion, only the aunt Ning could call her "A Li".

All the female relatives in the room are wives from various prefectures in Liangjing City. Even though everyone looked down on Shen Qingli in their hearts, because she was already Lu Huaiqi's concubine, no one wanted to come out and ridicule her.

The atmosphere in the room was quiet and awkward.

After Ning exchanged pleasantries with Shen Qingli again, she realized the awkward atmosphere in the room belatedly, and said to Shen Qingli kindly, "A Li, your sister and the others are all in the yard If you are playing in the house, you will be bored if you accompany us elderly people. I will let Nanny Chen take you to your sister's place."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Shen Qingli to agree, she gave Nanny Chen a wink, and Nanny Chen stepped forward to take Shen Qingli away.

Shen Qingli smiled inwardly, after the people from An Guogong's mansion set up the stage, they were waiting for her to perform the tricks and continue singing. She couldn't avoid it, so she had to face the difficulties.

The backyard of An Guogong's mansion.

Today's Shen Qingjiao is wrapped in a pale pink dress and a white gauze dress. Her hair is lightly pulled back, revealing a graceful neck and clearly visible collarbone.Looking at her face again, the elegant jade face is painted with light plum blossom makeup, and there are looming red leaves on both sides of her cheeks. From a distance, she has an outstanding demeanor and beauty, and she is completely worthy of being the number one in Liang Jingcheng. The title of beauty.

"Dapeng rises with the same wind in one day and soars up to [-] miles.

If the wind breaks down, it will still be able to shake the water.

When the world sees my constant special tone, they all sneer when they hear what I say.

Xuan's father is still afraid of future generations, but his husband is not young. "

As soon as Shen Qingli arrived in the backyard, she heard Shen Qingjiao reciting a poem passionately.After her voice fell, there was a burst of admiration in the yard.

"Miss Shen's poem is full of openness and grandeur, it is simply a masterpiece!" The eighth prince, Mu Yunxu, arrived at Anguo Gong's mansion early in the morning. Now that he heard Shen Qingjiao's poem, he looked at it again. Shen Qingjiao's eyes were filled with red hearts.

Sure enough, it was the woman he liked, with both talent and beauty, it was rare to find such a woman in the world.

As soon as Mu Yunxu's words of praise came to an end, Li Mao, the son of the Marquis of Hengyang, also began to praise, "Miss Shen is as beautiful as a fairy, and she is so talented, she is simply the best among women in the world."

Li Mao's voice of praise hadn't completely subsided, and Chen Nanny's report sounded again on the field, "I would like to report to the eldest lady, Madam asked the old slave to bring the second lady to this courtyard."

What Chen Nanny said immediately made everyone on the field turn their eyes to Shen Qingli.

She was covered with a light veil, so she couldn't see her face clearly, but when they thought of the ugly face under her veil, many people turned their attention to Shen Qingjiao.

There is a peach tree behind Shen Qingjiao sitting.

In March of Yangchun, the peach blossoms were in full bloom, a gust of breeze blew by, and it rained peach blossoms. The peach blossoms sprinkled on Shen Qingjiao's body one after another, making her even more beautiful and unstained.

Shen Qingjiao cast her arrogant eyes on Shen Qingli, and a sharpness flashed in the depths of her bright eyes.

Once Shen Qingli stepped in, she wouldn't let her leave easily.

"His Royal Highness is here!"

A high-pitched voice suddenly sounded, breaking the suddenly cold atmosphere due to Shen Qingli's arrival.

Everyone in the venue stood up and saluted Mu Yunheng for a while. Mu Yunheng was dressed in a blue dragon robe, with elegant features. Although he was not as handsome as Lu Huaiqi, he was as gentle as jade and unstained.

He stood with Shen Qingjiao, Shen Qingli couldn't get used to these two people, but he still felt that these two people stood together like a couple of gods and gods, the picture was so beautiful that people didn't want to take their eyes off these two people up.

Mu Yunheng's eyes immediately saw Shen Qingli who was pushed out of the crowd. Her face was covered with a veil, and she was still like the day of the birthday banquet. Her desolate and lonely feeling was incompatible with the noisy backyard.

He clenched his hand slightly in his wide sleeve.
