He took the opportunity to go to the study and talk to Shangguan Jinghong.
"Oh, what's the good stuff?"
A faint voice came from the hall door. Qiao Chu was startled, but saw Lang Linling walking in with someone.
This sight made her heart beat fast and she fell to the ground in shock.
No wonder she was surprised. How could you not be surprised when you see someone who looks exactly like you
The woman next to Lang Linling is Hai Lan
Apart from the ancient costume, the face was indeed sea blue.
The woman was familiar with the place, and upon hearing the words, she immediately came forward with a smile on her face, "Madam Lang, you are here. This is the new gown that the Eighth Master ordered me to make for you. Come and take a look. Is there anything else you want me to alter?"
As she spoke, she took a few glances at the woman who looked like Hai Lan and asked with a smile, "Hey, who is this lady? She is really pretty."
Lang Linling nodded to the woman but did not answer. She looked directly at Qiaochu, "Come, sister, I'll introduce someone to you. This is my cousin, surnamed Lin, maiden name Hailan. My aunt lives somewhere else, and sister Lin is here to visit my mother and me, and will stay in the palace for a few days."
"Greetings, Concubine Qiao." Qiao Chu saw Lin Hailan looking at him with a smile, her eyes revealing a hint of thoughtfulness. He felt a chill in his heart, shook the ice-cold hand in her sleeve, and greeted her, thinking to himself that it was really a blessing that a girl named Lin had fallen from the sky.
Sea blue.
Even the name is the same as hers, how could it be such a coincidence.
Qiaochu was almost certain that this person was Qingling, and she was wearing a human mask.
She has been suspected by the prince, and living in the dungeon is not a solution. She needs a new identity to accompany Shangguan Jinghong. Although she used Chang Fei as a disguise after a song at the bonfire banquet, she has begun to doubt her identity. But why did she disguise herself as Hai Lan
She must know Hai Lan. Who is she in the modern world? Could it be Lin Yu
However, Qiaochu never expected that Shangguan Jinghong would use the Lang family to clear Qingling's identity. Sister Langfei? This sister Langfei will be the new wife of the Ruiwang Mansion in the future.
With the support of the Lang family, she would be less likely to arouse suspicion in the palace than any other woman coming in from outside, and she would also be given a better status.
But if Shangguan Jinghong did this, the Lang family would definitely be unhappy.
Or is it that Shangguan Jinghong is tired of the constraints of the Lang family
He now does have the power to do whatever he wants.
She can't see through it.
Just as I was thinking, I suddenly heard a sharp voice, "Cousin, what are you doing? This is the dress that my master made for my daughter to wear for the banquet. It is priceless. How can that girl, with her rough hands and feet, touch or tear it?"
It was Lang Linling's personal maid Xiang'er and Shen Qingling's maid who started arguing.
Xiang'er was definitely not a good person. She wanted to take this opportunity to vent her anger for her young lady, but the cold-eyed woman next to Shen Qingling seemed to be a ruthless character as well. She pushed Xiang'er away with such force that she fell onto Lang Linling, and they both fell down almost at the same time.
Lang Linling finally got angry. Her face turned pale and her beautiful brows turned cold. She held Xiang'er to steady herself and raised her hand to slap the girl hard in the face. However, the girl actually leaned back and avoided it.
In fact, when the master is scolding a maid, you must not avoid it even if you can!

Qiaochu had no intention of watching the show, but Shen Qingling's touch against her face made it unbearable for her. She must find a way to find out who this person was, so she did not leave immediately, but wanted to observe for a while longer.
The boss's wife was frightened and stepped aside with a slight tremor. She was wondering why Fang Ming didn't say anything to persuade her, but when she looked up, she found that Fang Ming was no longer in the room.
Looking at the two women in front of me, the thing that had troubled me for two days suddenly flashed through my mind.
Lang Linling looked at Shen Qingling standing there, just looking at her indifferently, smiling coldly, and said: "Sister Hailan, do you still remember our Lang family motto? A servant should behave like a servant. If the servant is unruly, the master is responsible. Since I can't teach your girl, then sister will teach her. The master is not as busy as before, and the government affairs are busy. It's not good to trouble the master."
"Sister, what you said makes sense, but this girl grew up with me. She was not born in the Lang family, so she doesn't know what rules to follow. Besides, she didn't seem to have done anything wrong just now. She just bumped into you accidentally. Don't be angry, sister." Shen Qingling bowed to Lang Linling neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Sister," Lang Linling said softly, and suddenly took a step forward and approached Shen Qingling. Shen Qingling let out a low cry, and Lang Linling unexpectedly raised his hand and hit her in the face.
Unexpectedly, Shen Qingling was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and she had already grabbed Lang Linling's wrist from the side.
This girl was originally a secret guard, trained by Shangguan Jinghong since she was a child, and secretly protected Shen Qingling around the Prince's Mansion. She has a very close relationship with Shen Qingling. In addition, Shangguan Jinghong instructed her a long time ago that no matter what happened, she must do her best to protect her master. Therefore, even when she came out in the open, she still did the same.
"A Xiu, let go!"
Shen Qingling said that although she was sad about her birthday, she endured it. She must take Shangguan Jinghong back from Qiaochu. As for Lang Linling, she knew that this was a powerful character, but since she was going to live here in the future, if she gave in first and was bullied by Lang Linling, it would be better to fight openly.
She knew that Shangguan Jinghong was probably confused by his debt to Qiaochu, so he valued Qiaochu more than her, but there was still a long way to go. Although Lang Linling had the support of the Lang family, she was not as important as her.
Seeing that Shen Qingling didn't make any special gestures, Ah Xiu had been with Shen Qingling for a long time and understood her thoughts. At this moment, she flicked her wrist and swung Lang Linling out. With her other hand, she pushed Xiang'er, who was rushing towards her with red eyes, to the ground.
Lang Linling fell to the ground, shaking with anger, but she was not an ordinary woman. She had been paying attention to the situation in the hall and knew that Fang Ming had just gone out, most likely to look for Shangguan Jinghong.
She did not call the guards in the courtyard and quickly thought about it. Should she continue to provoke Lin Hailan until Shangguan Jinghong came to get justice for her, or leave now? Suddenly, she felt warmth on her hand. She was startled and saw Qiaochu bending down to support her. How could Qiaochu help her
She was just wondering when she heard Qiaochu say, "Beauty, capture Ah Xiu for me."
Shen Qingling was startled, then sneered: "What does Concubine Qiao mean by this?"
"It means to govern. I am a shallow person and don't know which family should govern the maid, but this is the residence of Prince Rui. Since I am the concubine of Prince Rui, can't I govern a maid?"
As she spoke, she glanced at the beauty, who shuddered and replied with a smile, "Yes!"
She and the four great men have been more patient since they entered Prince Rui's mansion. Qiaochu has told her about some things happening in the mansion these past two days, and she has guessed that the woman is Shen Qingling. She and the four great men have hated Shen Qingling for a long time, and although they cannot touch this woman now, it would be a good opportunity to vent their anger by giving her evil maid a lesson.
After a fierce fight, Xiu'er was captured by the beauty. Shen Qingling's face changed slightly. She glanced at the place where Fang Ming had just stood in the hall. She smiled lightly in her heart, but her face remained expressionless. She frowned and looked at Qiaochu.
Lang Linling became more and more suspicious of Qiaochu, and then she heard Qiaochu say softly: "Sister Lang, you decide how to deal with this girl."
She was a little hesitant when she heard that. At this moment, a cold voice came from outside the hall, "What happened?"
"Meet King Rui."
Ah Xiu's hands were twisted by the beauty, and she gritted her teeth and called out, "Master Ba, please save my master, she is—"
Before she could finish her words, the beauty twisted her hand violently, causing her to break out in a cold sweat and become speechless.
There were slaves and servants in the hall, the owner of the silk shop, and guards outside the hall. Shen Qingling could only say superficial things because of her status. She bowed to Shangguan Jinghong and smiled bitterly, "I just wanted to see the beautiful clothes of my two sisters, but I didn't know that I would end up making Concubine Qiao unhappy. My girl Ah Xiu is a pushover..."
Shangguan Jinghong frowned and stared at Qiaochu, "What good things have you done?"
Lang Linling glanced at Qiaochu. She had never expected that this incident would end up affecting Qiaochu. Although she hated Qiaochu, Qiaochu had helped her just now, and it seemed that he had no bad intentions. She was just hesitating about what to say, but she saw Qiaochu said to Shangguan Jinghong, "You have done what you shouldn't have done. Since Miss Cousin likes these clothes so much, I'll give them to you."
As she spoke, she pulled the Blue Bird robe on the table and handed it to Shen Qingling.
Shen Qingling was stunned. Shangguan Jinghong's gaze paused on his robe, and his face suddenly changed. His eyes dimmed, and he was about to speak when Qiaochu suddenly bent down, touched his stomach, and frowned slightly.
“Outstanding!”
Everyone saw a flash before their eyes, and Shangguan Jinghong had strode to Qiaochu, picked her up by the waist with the blue bird robe, and quickly walked out of the hall.
When Qiao Chu thought of these things again, he was already wearing that blue robe, sitting in the palace filled with the aroma of wine. All the kings, ministers, and guests had already taken their seats, waiting for the emperor and his concubine to come.
Qiaochu held her still cold palms and calmed her mind. She must not be chaotic tonight and the time must not be wrong. Whether she can leave depends on tonight, tonight.
Her hand under the table suddenly felt warm, and was tightly wrapped by a warm and dry big palm. She turned her head and saw that the man next to her had a calm expression on his face, holding up a wine cup and toasting the Crown Prince and King Xia opposite him from a distance.
Tonight, the two princes each have a beauty by their side: the most beautiful woman in the north, Raised Eyebrows; and the beauty from Western Xia, Silver Screen.
Tonight, Qiaochu had a strong feeling that things were bound to be troublesome.

Chapter 315
Not long after, Shangguan Jinghong let go of her hand.
The coldness in her palms disappeared.
Qiaochu suddenly remembered that after he brought her back to the room last night, he reached out and touched her wrist. She knew his medical skills, so she admitted it generously and said, "I'm fine."
Shangguan Jinghong said lightly, "I know," and left the room.
She was stunned for a long time.
She didn't doubt that he could see it, but why did he still take her pulse
Just skin-to-skin contact
She then laughed at her own thought, how could he do that.
…
Not long after the emperor came with the empress and concubines.
Qiaochu noticed that Langhou was not as good as Lang Linling, but her complexion was much better than before, which was a bit strange.
After the lively toast, Chunfeng submitted the document. Unlike previous practices, the peace treaty was not signed in the court, but at this palace banquet. Afterwards, the marriage between King Xia and Princess Yinping was also decided.
King Xia and Princess Yinping walked into the palace and thanked the emperor for his grace.
The ministers congratulated him.
Qiaochu felt a little strange again. Little Jiuer in Concubine Zhuang's arms winked at her. She hadn't seen him for many days, so she smiled and looked at the child a few more times. However, she found that Concubine Zhuang didn't seem particularly happy, and there was a hint of sadness between her brows. Originally, King Xia was engaged to a princess of a country, so she should be happy. But she didn't know what had happened to her in the palace.
King Xia was about to return to his seat when Shangguan Jinghong stood up with his glass in hand and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Ninth Brother."
King Xia walked closer and nodded in thanks.
She was sitting next to Shangguan Jinghong. When King Xia approached, their eyes briefly brushed against each other, and then they looked away. She said indifferently, and he helped Yinping, who looked shy, back to her seat, and did the same.
Qiaochu had an indescribable feeling in his heart, and recalled what happened the day before yesterday morning. There was a woman selling northern snacks in northern dialect outside the Rui Wang Mansion. She must have known that there was a very favored northern princess living here.
Seeing this, the doorman told Fang Ming. Fang Ming saw that Shangguan Jinghong had not returned from court, so he brought the old woman into the mansion to make Qiaochu happy. If Shangguan Jinghong was there, he was afraid that he would be unhappy.
A northern dialect, very few people in Dongling can speak it.
Qiaochu received a secret letter from the old woman and realized King Xia's intention. In order to avoid suspicion, he specially ordered someone to bring someone from the north to help Shangguan Jinghong deliver the letter when he was not at the mansion.
There were only three words written on the letter: How are you
The signature is Yuanbao.
Yuanbao asked Shangguan Jinghong to bring him back, but he ran away in the middle of the night. Yuanbao was nowhere to be found, and everything had changed. She knew that he was going to get married. When she chatted with Dong Ning that day, Dong Ning briefly mentioned the important events in the palace.
She didn't reply.
It was not until yesterday's incident with the green robe that Fang Ming told her that the old woman must have tasted the sweetness and came back to solicit business. She thought about it again and again, went to the study to ask Shangguan Jinghong some questions, and then let Fang Ming bring the old woman in and replied to the letter.
Everything seems to be destined...
After the toast, Shangguan Jinghong sat down and glanced at her indifferently. Qiaochu immediately knew that he did it on purpose to remind her that Shangguan Jinghong was married.
She felt nervous and a little melancholy.
Just then, Princess Cai Ning suddenly heard laughing and saying that the last banquet was held in a hurry, so this time, she specially sent gifts to apologize to King Rui.
She was referring to Chunfeng's offense.
Shangguan Jinghong stood up and thanked him. Cai Ning ordered someone to deliver several brocade boxes to Fang Ming, who was serving behind Shangguan Jinghong. She then came over from her seat and handed Shangguan Jinghong something similar to a Tibetan Hada around her neck.
Qiaochu came from Yuncang. Due to his hobbies in his previous life, he studied the customs of various countries. Seeing Caining like this, he was shocked and realized that this was the custom in Western Xia. If a woman gave this thing to a man, it meant marriage.
The hall was originally bustling with toasts, but at this moment it fell silent. Western Xia was adjacent to Eastern Tombs, and not many people knew about this custom, but there were definitely quite a few. These days, people thought that Cai Ning and the Crown Prince had a great chance of getting married, but unexpectedly, Cai Ning had her eyes on Prince Rui.
Qiaochu was just smiling at Shangguan Jinghong's good fortune, when she suddenly felt a warmth on her neck. Shangguan Jinghong actually put the thing around her neck and said, "Thank you, Princess. This is a precious gift from the Princess. I am just letting Jinghong enjoy it."
Qiaochu was shocked. Lang Linling sat with her "cousin" who was brought into the palace to attend the palace banquet. They sat next to each other at one table. She did not sit next to Shangguan Jinghong as usual. Instead, she and Shangguan Jinghong shared a table. At this time, she naturally became the target of his mischief.
