Chapter 299 Similar
When the carriage with the banner of the Landing Mansion started slowly again, the surrounding people also dispersed.After the crowd dispersed, a woman in a black cloak still stood slowly on the spot.

She stared straight at the carriage going away, with a sinister smile on the corner of her mouth.

By the time Shen Qingli and the others returned to Lu's residence, Lu Huaiqi had already left the morning court and was sitting in the yard drinking tea with Tong Wanjin.Shen Qingli told Lu Huaiqi what they had encountered on the street, but Lu Huaiqi didn't take it to heart.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, our Lu family is so big, it's nothing to support more people." Lu Huaiqi said indifferently.

Tong Wanjin next to him didn't take this matter to heart, he asked Shen Qingli to sit down, and said to her, "I forgot to tell you yesterday. When I went back to Beiqi, I received news from Luo Nan by accident. It is said that Luo Nan has been looking for Shen Qingjiao for the past few years..."

When Shen Qingjiao was mentioned, Shen Qingli's face became solemn.

At the beginning, she was almost tortured to death by Shen Qingjiao, but after Lu Huai came back, her suffering ended.It's just that the deep-rooted sense of fear that Shen Qingjiao brought to her has not disappeared.For so many years, she could clearly dream of Shen Qingjiao's ferocious and arrogant face many times when she woke up in the middle of the night.

Like a poisonous snake, she hibernates herself in a certain corner of the world, waiting for one day to pop out suddenly, bite her hard, and tear her apart.

"This Shen Qingjiao is really capable. Luo Nan has been looking for her so hard all these years, but she has not been found. I don't know where she hid herself." Tong Wanjin dragged his chin with both hands, and said to her This Shen Qingjiao was extremely helpless.

This Luo Nan is also a capable person. He was under the high-pressure seal of Lu Huaiqi back then, but he also escaped to ascend to heaven in the end.And this Shen Qingjiao is even more amazing, so many people are looking for her, but she seems to have evaporated from the world, and there is no news at all.

Lu Huaiqi also held a grudge against Shen Qingjiao, "Wan Jin, since you can find out about Luo Nan now, then you can send more people to keep an eye on him. Once there is any news about Shen Qingjiao, You have to tell us immediately."

"But I think since Shen Qingjiao hates Ali so much, if we don't go to her, she might come to us." Luo Nan said with a serious expression.On Lu Huaiqi and Shen Qingli's side, the entire West Liang was controlled by Lu Huaiqi.

Although Gao Junshen from the Northern Qi Dynasty was also eyeing him, at least his hands were not long enough to reach out to Xiliang.

The only thing they need to beware of is Shen Qingjiao.No one knew what kind of means this woman would use to take revenge on Shen Qingli.

"I almost forgot to tell you the most important thing. This Shen Qingjiao and A Li gave birth to a child on the same day. She gave birth to a son. Before she left, she took her son with her Yes. Luo Nan has spared no effort to search for Shen Qingjiao these years, on the one hand, it may be because of the unresolved love for Shen Qingjiao, and on the other hand, it may be to find his son back."

Shen Qingli knew Shen Qingjiao, she was a very snobby and realistic person.She will condescend to lower her figure and use people who are useful to her.But once that person can't be used by her, her ruthlessness will make people feel extremely chilling.

She climbed up to Luo Nan, and was annoyed that he couldn't deal with Lu Huaiqi for her, so she resolutely left.

But before leaving, he took their children with him, so he had a bargaining chip to blackmail Luo Nan.

Luo Nan's whole life might be inseparable from Shen Qingjiao's control.

The three of them had different thoughts for a while.

Time flies, a few days later.The queen of the palace was selected.Xiahouyan, the only daughter of Rulanhou Xiahouhan.

Rulan can be said to be the poorest place in Xiliang.The land in this place is barren and the climate is harsh. The people depend on the sky for food, and they can only count on the crops in the fields to be harvested every year.

With such a situation, the identity of Rulan Hou Xia Houhan, the Marquis, is not so valued.Now that his daughter has become the future queen, all the court officials could only smile comfortably when they heard about it.

A puppet emperor without real power, and a queen without a deep family background.

The two can be described as a match made in heaven, a "married couple made in heaven".

When the eunuch in the palace carefully told the news to the little emperor, one of the parties involved, the little emperor was holding a pen and splashing ink on a piece of snow-white rice paper.

"Oh, I see." The little emperor seemed to be listening to something from a stranger, very calmly, and the Langhao brush in his hand didn't stop at all.

The little eunuch cautiously raised his head and took a peek at the little emperor. After serving the emperor for so long, he knew that the emperor was not as incompetent as it was rumored outside, and everything now was just his compromise.

There is no way, from top to bottom in Xiliang, only Lu Huaiqi is respected by people.

Lu Huaiqi seems to have become the god in the hearts of the entire Xiliang people. With him, there will be stability in Xiliang.The little emperor is just a decoration.

Even for many people, it is his kindness that Lu Huaiqi did not depose the little emperor from the throne and establish himself as emperor.

The little eunuch had some sympathy for the little emperor, and couldn't bear to comfort him, "Back to the emperor, I heard that although Marquis Rulan is not very reliable, Marquis Rulan's daughter is peerless, virtuous and pure, and a match made in heaven with the emperor. "

The hall was suddenly quiet again, and the little eunuch saw that the little emperor hadn't responded to him, so he bowed and retreated.
"Thank you." And when the little eunuch turned around, there was another soft sound behind him.The little eunuch stopped and looked back, the little emperor had put down the pen in his hand at some point, and he showed a grateful smile to him at the age of curly hair.

The little eunuch's expression flickered for a while, and then he retreated silently.

Next, the entire palace is preparing for the little emperor's wedding.Rulanhou's daughter Xiahouyan was also escorted to Liangjing City half a month later.On the day Xia Houyan entered the palace, according to the rules, all the female relatives of officials of the third rank in the court would enter the palace to salute the future queen.

According to the law, Shen Qingli must enter the palace.Lu Huaiqi has been busy in the palace for the past few days, and Xiao Chengxi has not seen his father.When Shen Qingli wanted to enter the palace, she pestered Shen Qingli to also enter the palace.

Shen Qingli knew that her daughter wanted Lu Huaiqi, so Lu Huaiqi was definitely worried about Xiao Chengxi.Without thinking too much, she brought Xiao Chengxi into the palace together.

After their carriage entered the palace, the palace people politely led their group to the direction of the harem.

"Mrs. Lu, Jiu Qiansui is currently discussing state affairs with the emperor. After the matter over there is settled, he and the emperor will meet you at the empress's side."

The chief eunuch walked in front half bent, explaining to Shen Qingli with a smile on his face.

Shen Qingli nodded, asked some more about Xia Houyan, and then led Xiao Chengxi to the Queen's Fengjiao Palace.

As soon as she arrived at Fengjiao Hall, the people in the hall had already come out to welcome her after hearing the notification in advance.Looking around, Shen Qingli found that these official wives were familiar faces she often saw, and they also knew her temperament in the past five years, so she would not feel too tired when getting along like this.

"Madam Lu..." Suddenly, a melodious voice resembling Yingming came from among the crowd.

Shen Qingli looked up, at the end of the crowd, there were [-] women wearing fiery red Bainiao Chaofeng palace robes, smiling at her gently and charmingly.This smile is as bright as spring, even more gorgeous and white than the cherry blossoms planted outside the Fengjiao Temple.

Shen Qingli had already guessed her identity.

She had also heard before that this Xia Houyan was a peerless youth, and she was an alluring beauty.Hearing is deception, seeing is believing. Seeing her today, this Xia Houyan's appearance not only gave her a sense of surprise, but also an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

It's like seeing her somewhere.

"The concubine pays homage to the empress, the empress is auspicious." Shen Qingli stepped forward and gave Xia Houyan a big gift.

Xia Houyan quickly stepped forward and reached out to help her up gently, "Madam Lu really ruined my palace. Who in Xiliang doesn't know that Madam Lu is the favorite of nine thousand years old, and I will still rely on Madam Lu's care in the future."

Xia Houyan's words were soft and waxy, sweet and pleasant, which made people feel inexplicably close.

Shen Qingli pursed her lips and smiled lightly, "The empress is really disrespectful to the concubines. The concubines are women and children, and they only know about the work of the deep maidens. The affairs of the empress must be a major matter in the court, and this kind of matter can only be left to Jiu Qiansui himself to deal with."

This was obviously an attempt to get close to Xia Houyan, but Xia Houyan didn't show any discomfort on her face.She smiled again, "Madam Lu did what she said. I am new here, so I will naturally respect Madam Lu's words from now on."

These words are reasonable, but there is a strangeness in this "reasonable".

It made people listen and didn't know how to reply to her.

The smile on Shen Qingli's face lightened a bit, she just pretended not to hear what she said, and started another topic, "Empress Empress, you are beautiful and beautiful, and you are worthy of the emperor."

After saying this, the other officials and wives beside her immediately flattered her words.

For a while, Xia Houyan received a lot of blessings about her and the little emperor.

"The emperor is here, the nine thousand year old is here!" While everyone was talking, the eunuch's voice came from outside the courtyard.Hearing this, the whole courtyard stepped forward to salute the little emperor and Lu Huaiqi.

After saluting and getting up, the little emperor's eyes quickly walked around the crowd, and finally fell between Shen Qingli and Xia Houyan.

They were obviously two people, but he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

It's like... Xia Houyan... is simply a replica of Shen Qingli when she was young.

Similarly, Lu Huaiqi met Xia Houyan for the first time.After looking at Shen Qingli again, he finally squinted his eyes, and his gaze also fell on Xia Houyan.

He also felt that the pure temperament exuding from Xia Houyan was very similar to Shen Qingli five years ago.
