Chapter 44 Play hard!

"Your Majesty, you have carved this big wooden carving by yourself. Now, Your Majesty, you can close your eyes and silently recite the spell taught to you by your concubine, and see if you can make this big wooden carving fly."

In Ming Huai Emperor's bedroom, Shen Qingli said to Ming Huai Emperor with a calm expression.

It took several months to carve a large wooden carving with great difficulty, and Minghuai Emperor's eyes were full of sparkle.

According to what Li said, he closed his eyes and recited the incantations passed down from the "Book of Luban".The wooden sculpture, which was originally just a dead object, slowly flapped its wings after Emperor Huai of Ming Dynasty finished reciting the incantation, and raised its head high.

Emperor Minghuai looked excited, "A Li, it's done! It's done! I can make living things now."

Shen Qingli nodded slightly, a gleam hidden deep in her pupils.

The next moment, I saw that the big wooden carving, which was still holding its head up just now, suddenly lowered its head again, and there was no more movement.

The excitement in Emperor Minghuai's eyes faded in an instant, and he reached out his hand excitedly to shake the wooden carving.It's just that no matter how he shakes the wood carving, the wood carving still seems to be dead and lifeless.

In desperation, he looked at Shen Qingli for help.Shen Qingli smiled softly, "This may be because your majesty is the first time to make this kind of thing with your own hands, and it's not the first time I can make a wooden phoenix fly."

Emperor Ming Huai received some comfort, and his mood improved instantly. "A Li, maybe what you said is right." He said, the spirit of a craftsman made him reluctant to give up like this, and he had already made up his mind in his heart that he must make a big eagle that could fly.

Shen Qingli smiled noncommittally.

If Emperor Minghuai was asked to make a flying wooden carving, then she would lose its use value for Emperor Minghuai.

When Shen Qingli came out of his bedroom, Ming Huai Emperor had already re-carved his wooden sculpture again.

At the door of the sleeping hall, he met a group of princes who were coming to pay respects to Emperor Minghuai.Headed by Prince Mu Yunheng.

"Maid and concubine send greetings to His Highness the Crown Prince and all the princes!" If Shen Qingli had seen Mu Yunheng in the past, she would have made a detour to avoid him, but today she stepped forward to salute him generously.

The weather has turned warm. Today, she is wearing a sky-blue gauze dress, and her black satin-like hair is gently tied into a bun. When others look at her, she does not show a shy expression like other women. Stretching his waist and raising his head, he looked back at the person with a graceful smile.

The smile is sweet and refreshing.

Mu Yunheng's eyes immediately fell on the two dimples on her face.

Her sudden change of appearance gave him a sense of surprise, like plum blossoms on the branches in winter, covered by the wind and snow, so pretty and lively that people are reluctant to take their eyes away from her bright red.

He could clearly feel his heart beating like a deer in his arms the moment he saw Shen Qingli.

His protruding throat rolled up and down a few times with difficulty before he could say, "A Li, excuse me."

The Eighth Prince Mu Yunxu narrowed his eyes and watched the expression changes on Mu Yunheng's face. When he saw that Mu Yunheng's expression became extremely unnatural after Shen Qingli appeared, he clenched his hands tightly in his wide sleeves, In my heart, I can't wait to step forward and give the prince Mu Yunheng a punch.

Mei'er once dreamed so much of marrying the prince, but he didn't care about her at all.Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she flirted with Shen Qingli.

Thinking of Shen Qingjiao, Mu Yunxu was so angry that he couldn't calm down, so he gave Shen Qingli another hard look.

Shen Qingli is now very "paying attention" to the eighth prince Mu Yunxu, and she can clearly feel the hostility of the eighth prince Mu Yunxu towards her. I took a small wooden box in my hand.

"His Royal Highness, the concubine was busy before, so I couldn't bring you a wedding gift. The concubine just happened to meet His Highness the Crown Prince here today, so there is no need to go to the East Palace again." On the mahogany box was carved a black bamboo plant. .

"This box was made by the concubine herself, and there are gifts from the concubine to the crown prince and concubine in the box. I hope that the crown prince will not dislike it."

Mu Yunheng's eyes froze for a moment on the mahogany box in her hand, and a beating heart almost jumped directly in his throat.

Of all the things in the world, his favorite is bamboo.

She said that the gift box she gave him was made by herself, and a black bamboo was carved on the box.

What does this prove?It proves that she still cares about him!She remembered that his favorite was bamboo!

Mu Yunheng wondered if he was in a dream, he couldn't believe how gentle and considerate she was in front of him.

According to the rules in the palace, if a person with a low status wants to present something to a high-ranking person, he must first hand it to the palace.But looking at the mahogany box sent by Shen Qingli, he stretched out his hand to take the wooden box from her with some excitement, and smiled softly, "I have a heart..."

"The concubine will not bother His Highness the Crown Prince and the princes!" After he accepted the gift, Shen Qingli saluted them again, and then left gracefully with Ran Mo.

After she left, the princes started discussing immediately.The fifth prince held a fan in his hand, and shook the fan artfully, "Things in this world are changing so fast that it is too late for people to adapt. Even before Shen Qingli was not disfigured before, every time she stood beside the princess At best, she can be regarded as delicate and pretty. This time, when she came back, she was a completely new person. If she had looked like this before, this prince might as well be a flower-picker who loves fragrance and loves jade."

As soon as the fifth prince finished speaking, the seventh prince beside him also said with a salivating face, "It's a pity now. Such a beautiful little flower bud is cheaper than Lu Huai, that eunuch."

The seventh prince said these obscene words, and thought about Shen Qingli's whole body again in his mind.

The beauty is like jade, the ink is black and thick like satin, and the waist is as thin as willow.If you can hug such a beauty to the bed and pinch her waist to make out, it will be like a ghost under the peony flowers.

The fifth prince nodded vigorously, and felt that it was a pity that Shen Qingli, a little flower bud, should be matched with an eunuch like Lu Huaiqi.

The words of the two brothers made the eighth prince Mu Yunxu jump angrily, "You two princes, how can you be so superficial. Shen Qingli looks good now, but have you forgotten how ghostly she was before?" ? Even if an ugly woman like Shen Qingli is sent to this king's bed, this king will still vomit."

The fifth prince immediately retorted in displeasure, "Lao Ba, women are born to make us men happy. As long as she can make us men happy, why bother talking about her previous shortcomings."

The seventh prince echoed the fifth prince again, "Brother Wuhuang is right, as long as Shen Qingli looks good, it is enough for us to be pleasing to the eye. Anyway, we are just talking about Shen Qingli secretly here, and the eunuch Lu Huaiqi is here , none of us would dare to hook up with her little red apricot."

Mu Yunheng heard a few younger brothers making Shen Qingli more and more unbearable, and he felt a surge of anger in his heart.

"Okay! You all don't say a few words! This is the palace, you are not afraid that your words will be heard by Lu Huaiqi's people?" Mu Yunheng flicked his sleeves coldly, interrupting the discussion of several people.

The eighth prince, Mu Yunxu, was a little anxious and hurriedly said, "Brother Prince, Shen Qingli looks a little better now, but the most beautiful and talented woman in our Xiliang Kingdom is the Crown Princess. No matter what aspect the Crown Princess is Throw Shen Qingli away fiercely." As the husband of the princess, you should focus on your princess.

When Shen Qingjiao was mentioned, Mu Yunheng became irritable.

When Shen Qingli returned to the Dudu's Mansion, she happened to meet Zhang Li who was going out to do some errands.Zhang Li hesitated for a while, and finally caught up with Shen Qingli before Shen Qingli was about to enter the governor's mansion.

"Madam, can I take a step to speak?" Zhang Li's tone was a little pleading.

With Lu Huai, Shen Qingli didn't think that Zhang Li would do anything to hurt him.She nodded lightly, and followed Zhang Li to the side.

Shen Qingli's current face... made Zhang Li so shy that he didn't dare to look at her directly. He rubbed his hands together, blushed, and stammered, "Ma'am, Dudu Lu's birthday will be in half a month, Dudu Lu In previous years, birthdays were not often celebrated. But this year, isn’t there a lady here?”

Zhang Li felt that if Shen Qingli could give his Dudu a gift, his Dudu would be very happy.

Although he, as a subordinate, still feels that... his family's governor and Shen Qingli stand together, like an old cow eating tender grass.

Lu Huaiqi's birthday, how could she, a righteous sister, not give a gift?
Shen Qingli's first reaction after hearing Zhang Li's words was this.

But what he wants, what gift can she give to express her heart?

Shen Qingli suddenly became troubled.

At night, after Mu Yunheng returned to the East Palace, he locked himself in the study room by himself.He carefully stretched out his hand to caress the mahogany box Shen Qingli gave him, bit by bit he remembered the black bamboo on the mahogany box in his heart.

Gently opened the mahogany box, and there was a painting in the box.

He spread out the painting carefully, and there were two five or six-year-old children in the painting.A man and a woman, the man's face is covered with a veil, and the woman hides behind a big tree and pokes her head.

The painting also inscribed the words "Childhood Sweetheart" in a thin gold body. The implication seems to be that he and Shen Qingjiao are childhood sweethearts, and they are a very enviable couple.

Mu Yunheng stared at the painting in a daze, and gradually lost his mind.

When he was a child, he often went to Anguo Gongfu to play.When she was a child, Qing Jiao had already grown into a beautiful young girl, and she became a little girl praised by everyone.

He also liked Qingjiao quite a lot at that time, but this kind of liking was just the pure liking of his elder brother for his younger sister.

But Qingli is different from Qingjiao. At that time, she was humble and simple, always looking up at him with a pair of bright eyes admiringly.She was different from others, who praised him perfunctorily because of his status.She is purely because he treats her well!
One year, the emperor of a country brought his prince to Xiliang.The emperors of the two countries were together, and someone proposed to let the princes of the two countries compete.As a result, he lost to the prince of another country.

Because of this, his father and emperor often blamed him, and his mother and queen also severely punished him.

During those days, no matter where he went, he would inevitably be punished with his eyes.Only Qingli is different.

"Brother Prince, no matter what the result of your competition with others is, you are the best person in the world to Ali, and Ali will always only help relatives and not help."

Tong Yanwuji, her living environment made her a little girl who would give up all kinds of morals in the world and stand in the same camp as those who treat her well as long as others treat her sincerely.

She is so loyal and easy to satisfy.

If it wasn't for his mother and uncle who killed her maidservant who loved her as her sister, and drove the nanny who had been taking care of her crazy...she might still be the innocent Qing Li before.

Destiny doesn't have what if...

Their blood is doomed that they will never be together.

No matter how longing and longing he had in his heart, she was not his after all...

Lu Huaiqi put the painting back into the mahogany box.He was not going to show Shen Qingjiao the gift Ali gave them.With Shen Qingjiao's temperament, when she saw the words "childhood sweetheart" on the painting, she must have started to think wildly again, thinking that Ali was using the painting to seduce him.

In the next few days, Shen Qingli hid in the governor's mansion and prepared gifts for Lu Huaiqi every day.But one day, a shocking news came out from the East Palace.

Prince Mu Yunheng didn't know what kind of poison was in his body, but he couldn't afford it.

The imperial doctors went round after round, but they still couldn't help the prince get rid of the poison on his body. Even these imperial doctors haven't found out what kind of poison Mu Yunheng is on.

Emperor Huai of the Ming Dynasty punished one imperial doctor after another, and in the end he had to declare to the outside world that if anyone among the people could cure the prince, he would be rewarded with a thousand taels of money.

One day, Shen Qingli and Lu Huai ate together in the dining hall.Lu Huai waited for Shen Qingli to finish eating, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Did you put the poison on the prince?"

A well-behaved person was somehow poisoned.Lu Huaiqi has always suspected that this matter has something to do with her.Of course, Lu Huaiqi had no intention of preparing for Shen Qingli's approach.

Queen Shen and the others have harmed her like that before, if they don't fight back, it will make Queen Shen and the others bully her and become addicted.

The two dimples on Shen Qingli's face shrunk, she never wanted to hide anything from Lu Huaiqi.

"Yes! I put poison on the gift he gave." The poison she put on Mu Yunheng seemed dangerous, but it wouldn't kill him.

Lu Huaiqi nodded lightly, and the fox's eyes were full of evil light, "If you need it, you can ask me to help you." In other words, I am your thigh. If you need it, my thigh can help you. Reach out for your hug anytime.

"Ah."

Shen Qingli's eyelashes drooped slightly, and a trembling black shadow fell on the porcelain-like skin.

Compared with the time when Lu Huai stretched out his thigh to hug Shen Qingli and was directly rejected by Shen Qingli, this time Shen Qingli did not reject Lu Huai so much anymore.

In the East Palace, Shen Qingjiao and Shen Jinfeng stood in front of the bed and looked at Mu Yunheng who was already sick. Their faces were already full of fatigue.

But even under such circumstances, Shen Qingjiao still did not forget to suspect Shen Qingli.

"Father, Second Sister and Lu Huai must be behind the scenes. The only people in Liang Jingcheng who want us to have trouble the most are their gangsters."

Shen Jinfeng is panicking now, and he agrees with Shen Qingjiao's words.

But the most important thing now is how to let the prince detoxify first, and after the prince recovers, they will kill her.
