Good luck and marriage: marrying the governor of Dongchang

Chapter 41 Some small feelings are slowly growing

Lu Huaiqi really couldn't describe his current mood.He seemed to have a feeling of finding a lost treasure, that kind of mood, excited, joyful, and apprehensive.

He unconsciously squeezed the wine glass tightly in his hand, staring straight at the entrance of the hall with a pair of sharp fox eyes.

The ripples of the wine in the wine glass revealed his mood at the moment.

Ming Huai Emperor was very happy.Shen Qingli's disappearance, he thought it was a pity.He has devoted himself to carpentry for so many years, and it is rare to meet a young man who is so talented in woodwork.

"Hurry up! Invite her into the palace!" Emperor Minghuai immediately urged the eunuch to invite Shen Qingli into the palace.

The little eunuch bowed and quickly retreated.

Mu Yunheng's calm state of mind seemed to be blown by a gust of wind, and another huge wave was set off.He clearly made up his mind to be a good husband and father, but he unconsciously looked towards the entrance of the palace.

It would be nice if they weren't siblings...

Shen Qingjiao noticed Mu Yunheng's abnormality, her eyes like smoke cages flashed displeasure, and she tightly grabbed Mu Yunheng's sleeve with one hand, as if she wanted to swear to Shen Qingli her sovereignty over Mu Yunheng .

Shen Qingli, who was wearing a light veil, walked slowly into Huayang Hall under the eyes of countless people.

Tonight, she was dressed in a moon-white brocade dress, with a few broken red plums sparsely embroidered in the brocade dress, and there were only a few plain pearls and emeralds on her head. She walked lightly, and she looked as beautiful as Qing in the candlelight of the hall. moon.

"My concubine pays respects to the emperor, long live the emperor!" Shen Qingli bowed her knees and bowed to Emperor Minghuai.

Emperor Ming Huai looked at her with a smile, "A Li, where have you been in the past two months? I heard that you were missing, and people went around looking for you." Emperor Ming Huai and Shen Qingli have common hobbies. He often pointed out Emperor Huai of Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Huai of the Ming Dynasty now also called Shen Qingli "A Li" just like Lu Huaiqi.Seeing her appearing in front of him safe and sound, he was also really happy for Shen Qingli in his heart.

Shen Qingli's eyes were so bright that they seemed to be twinkling like a bay of stars. She stretched her waist and answered Emperor Ming Huai with a crisp and vigorous voice, "I would like to report to the emperor that my concubine met a villain in the Prince's East Palace that day. , was injured and was taken out of the East Palace. Fortunately, God had mercy and allowed the concubine to come back to meet the emperor."

If she really told the truth about what happened that day, the whole Liang Jingcheng might know about Yan Yanghou cuckolding Liu Yuanzong.

One is the son of the benefactor of Emperor Huai of Ming Dynasty, and the other is the uncle of the country.

The two of them tore apart their skins in public, Emperor Minghuai didn't know who to help, maybe in the end he blamed her for spreading such a dirty thing.

Anyway, she has come back, and she has a chance to kill Yan Yanghou.

When Emperor Huai of the Ming Dynasty saw Shen Qingli in Huayang Palace for the first time, he felt that her loneliness was incompatible with the whole hall.Seeing her again this time, she was still the same Shen Qingli with her chest up and back, neither humble nor overbearing, but after he heard about her being kidnapped, he felt a little pity.

"The crown prince's east palace was also infiltrated by gangsters." Emperor Ming Huai frowned slightly and looked at Mu Yunheng, "Prince, a person as old as Ali can have an accident in your east palace, you should investigate."

Mu Yunheng's eyes were already unconsciously glued to Shen Qingli's body.He nodded in a daze, it was considered to have dealt with Emperor Minghuai.

Shen Qingli's bright eyes suddenly raised again, looking at Mu Yunheng.

Mu Yunheng's gaze collided with his unexpectedly.Mu Yunheng hurriedly avoided her gaze in a panic, but after avoiding her gaze, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he secretly raised his eyes to look at her.

"My concubine heard the news that the Crown Princess is pregnant just now outside the palace, my concubine congratulates His Highness the Crown Prince." Shen Qingli narrowed her eyes slightly, forming two crescents.

She seemed to be smiling and blessing him like this.

Mu Yunheng was startled again, since she returned to Liang Jingcheng after being buried, she never smiled at him again.But this time, she actually smiled at her again.

Shen Qingjiao could not wait to grit his teeth by the side, what went wrong.

Didn't the queen tell her before that Shen Qingli was dead?

Now what the hell is going on, how can Shen Qingli stand in front of her properly again.

Shen Qingli noticed Shen Qingjiao's resentful gaze cast on her, she blinked, and said in a playful tone, "The concubine had an accident on the day the prince and concubine got married, and I couldn't send the maid to the two of you." A concubine's gift. In a few days, the concubine will definitely make up for the wedding gift."

The "gift" in her mouth made Shen Qingjiao's palms break out in cold sweat, and he glanced at the Eighth Prince Mu Yunxu who was sitting in the crowd.

The child she is carrying now... belongs to the Eighth Prince Mu Yunxu.

But Shen Qingli thought he could control and threaten her in this way?She is dreaming!

The corners of Shen Qingjiao's mouth hooked up, and a smile comparable to a peony in the wind bloomed on her lips, slim and dazzling.

"Second sister, since you said that you want to give a big gift, then I will wait and see. I hope that your share will not disappoint my sister." Shen Qingjiao returned her.

Outsiders only see that the two sisters are gentle, thrifty, respectful and affectionate, but only the two sisters understand it in their hearts.

Both of them are declaring war on each other.

The battle to the death between the two has begun.

"Huaiqi, since Ali is your concubine, you should take care of her safety." Ming Huaidi waited for Shen Qingli and the prince and his wife to greet each other, and then instructed Lu Huaiqi.

A Lu Huaiqi helped the imperial court recover more than 100 million tax dollars, and Emperor Huai of the Ming Dynasty regarded him so highly that he directly called him "Huaiqi".

Lu Huai squinted at Shen Qingli with foxy eyes, even if Emperor Minghuai didn't say this, he would still do it.

Although they spend a lot of time together, he may have really regarded her as his younger sister.

The older brother didn't take good care of the younger sister, and made the younger sister suffer. It's his elder brother's fault wherever he puts such a thing.

Lu Huaiqi changed his previous slumped posture, stood up from his seat with a tall body, and came to Shen Qingli's side in a few steps.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, this minister will definitely take good care of Ali." Lu Huai said this as a guarantee to Minghuai Emperor, but it was not for himself.

Pei Yan's gaze has been on Lu Huaiqi tonight.

He found that ever since Lu Huaiqi's concubine's room entered Huayang Palace, Lu Huaiqi's eyes lit up, a pair of sword eyebrows were even more enchantingly curved, and the smile on his lips became deep and gentle, so he cooperated with his His face was like that of a god who had been demoted to the mortal world, making people unable to take their eyes off it.

Pei Yan looked at Shen Qingli meaningfully again.

He had heard about Shen Qingli.

This is a concubine's room completely incompatible with Lu Huaiqi.I heard that she is ugly, and she is not a woman, and she will spend her life privately with other men, but it is the appearance of such a woman that lights up Lu Huaiqi's eyes.

Know yourself and the enemy, a hundred battles will never end.

He thought that there must be something about this woman named Shen Qingli that could fascinate Lu Huaiqi.

Lu Huai started to look at Shen Qingli. He hadn't seen him for more than two months. The little girl in front of him seemed to have grown up a bit.

Finding him looking at her, the little girl looked up at him with bright eyes.

There were soft waves in her dark eyes.

"Captain Lu..." She called him softly. After staying with the "devil" man for a long time, when she saw Lu Huaiqi again, she felt an indescribable intimacy.

The little girl looked at him with a pair of gentle eyes and smiled, and her eyes were unconsciously bent into two crescent moons by her, and a warm current lingered in Lu Huaiqi's heart instantly.

He squinted his eyes, and stretched out a hand to touch her head, but when he stretched out his hand in the air, he restrained his hand from falling on her shoulder, "Ali, it's good if you come back." .” There are too many concerns and anxiety in my heart, but this is the only sentence that comes to my lips.

He patted her on the shoulder lightly, speaking in a gentle tone.

The two are tall and short.

One looked down, the other looked up.

One is as handsome as a fairy, and the other is as ugly as a ghost.

No matter how you look at it, the two people who are not in harmony, standing together at this moment, under the candlelight of the hall, they look extremely warm.

In the end, a eunuch bought a chair for Shen Qingli beside Lu Huai's seat, and the two sat together. The stark contrast made Shen Qingjiao, who had just announced her pregnancy tonight, lose her charm.

"Your Majesty!" At the end of tonight's dinner, this year's new champion Pei Yan stood up from his seat, cupped his hands and said loudly to Emperor Minghuai, "I used to have the honor to worship a master carpenter when I was in the Western Regions." Learn woodwork. I heard that Mrs. Lu is very skilled and can make a wooden phoenix that can fly. Unfortunately, I can also make a wooden bird that looks like a living thing. I want to take this opportunity to learn from Mrs. Lu. .”

Pei Yan's proposal was sudden and direct.

Only then did Shen Qingli notice Pei Yan.

A man with eagle eyes, a high nose, and a hint of gloom in his clear appearance.

Tonight, he was dressed in the number one scholar robe, and when he told Emperor Huai of Ming Dynasty his request, there was a supercilious arrogance in his eyes.

Shen Qingli pursed her lips, and slightly raised the corner of her mouth under the veil.

Xiliang Kingdom values ​​aristocratic families, and students from aristocratic families tend to have a smoother career than those from poor families.She is aware of the talents of several big families in Liang Jingcheng, but she has no impression of this year's No. [-] scholar. He should be a student from a poor family.

If this kind of student from a poor family can't be won over by Emperor Huai of Ming Dynasty or several factions in the court as soon as possible, then the fate waiting for him is just to be assigned as a small county magistrate somewhere.

Obviously, this Pei Yan wanted to win the attention of Liang Jingcheng people through a competition with her.

If he wins the competition with her, Ming Huai Emperor will naturally value Pei Yan's wood skills more.In the future, Pei Yan will replace her as the celebrity beside Emperor Minghuai.Even if he loses in the competition with her, he will let the world pay attention to him through the competition with her.

If you pay attention, you may be recruited by someone from a certain faction someday.

Look, she has just returned to Liang Jingcheng, and she has already become a stepping stone for others to climb up.

Emperor Huai of Ming Dynasty looked at Pei Yan in surprise, "Pei Aiqing, you can also make a living bird? The more I live, the more rewarding I am... unexpectedly I can meet so many capable people."

Pei Yan smiled modestly, and cast her proud eyes on Shen Qingli again.

Shen Qingli stood up from his seat and smiled faintly, "Pei Zhuangyuan, there is no need to compare, the concubine admits defeat. The concubine's master once said that those of us who practice Lu Banshu are the most taboo to fight with others. Don't compete with Pei Zhuangyuan anymore."

These flirty words blocked Pei Yan's proposal for a competition.

Pei Yan frowned, and opened her lips to persuade Emperor Minghuai to put pressure on Shen Qingli.

Lu Huai gave a wicked smile, "Pei Zhuangyuan, Ah Li is a womanizer, since she has already surrendered, then Pei Zhuangyuan won without a fight. Congratulations to Pei Zhuangyuan."

It was as if he was deliberately finding fault, and others had no choice but to admit defeat to him.

Pei Yan's eagle eyes deepened.

A turmoil that was just about to start was subdued like this, Ming Huai Emperor was also tired and was about to be escorted back to the palace by the eunuchs.But when the group of them walked to the place where the musicians were in the palace, one of the musicians suddenly pulled out a soft sword from under the strings, and stabbed Ming Huaidi.

"Emperor Dog, you have allowed the empress and prince to embezzle the soldiers' salaries, the city fell, and the blood of our brothers was wasted..."

After the musician said a word, the other musicians in the hall also drew out their hidden weapons one after another.

The entire hall was in chaos because of this sudden change.After Lu Huaiqi turned his head and gave Shen Qingli some instructions, he rushed to escort Emperor Minghuai.In order to protect herself, Shen Qingli just wanted to follow Lu Huaiqi's words and find a place to hide.

Behind her, someone suddenly pushed her. She leaned forward and was almost pierced by the weapons in the hands of the assassins.Fortunately, she dodged in time, so she narrowly escaped the catastrophe.But the veil on her face was torn off by the assassins...
