Ping Xiang can come in only after presenting the order of King Rui.
…
Lang Linling glanced at Shen Qingling and saw that she was staring at the palace door. She smiled coldly in her heart: You will see clearly later that I am the Princess of Rui Wang. In front of everyone, Shangguan Jinghong will only look at me first.
It’s outstanding...
She saw Qiaochu's retreat clearly.
She was increasingly unable to understand this woman.
The longer we spend together, the more questions we have.
But she didn't have time to think about these things, because in front of her, court officials were walking out of the Golden Palace one after another.
When Lang Xiang saw her, he frowned, looked sternly in his eyes, and walked over.
"Grandpa, what did the emperor say? Is there any hope for him—"
"Don't mention him again!"
Lang Xiang glanced at Shen Qingling coldly and interrupted her sternly.
Lang Linling's heart was shaken, and she heard Lang Xiang lower his voice and say, "He is completely finished. Fortunately, there is good news today..."
"Grandpa, what did you say?"
Listening to his precious granddaughter's trembling voice and seeing the looks cast at him by many of the court officials who were walking out, the prime minister sighed deeply, but the stern look in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
The emperor's voice in the Golden Palace seemed to still echo in my ears.
"What Prince Rui did made me sad and disappointed. I will hand over the military and criminal departments that he was in charge of back to the Crown Prince, and the criminal department to Prince Xia. I will also temporarily hand over the military power that the Crown Prince was in charge of, and give half to Prince Xia. I am writing this to congratulate you on your wedding."
Although everyone was puzzled by the emperor's sudden promotion of King Xia, they all understood clearly that King Rui had completely lost his power.
The emperor's mind is hard to predict. Of course, it was Shangguan Jinghong's own fault. The emperor is such a person that he would never allow himself to be provoked and then tested.
Fortunately, there was good news. He proposed to let the virtuous king return to the court. The emperor stared at him for a moment and said he would consider it carefully.
The emperor did not refuse, which means there is room for maneuver.
Lang Xiang spoke slowly, and Shen Qingling couldn't stop trembling. This was also the first time she saw Lang Linling lose his composure like this. The latter murmured, "Did I really see the wrong person?"
Lang Xiang said harshly, "Ling'er, come with me first, what are you doing here?"
Shen Qingling remembered that she had told that man that she would accompany him through this hurdle, but now, when she saw him almost the last one walking out of the Golden Throne Hall slowly, she was suddenly filled with confusion.
Qin Ge is not like this. He is always in control of the situation and always full of vigor and vitality.
How can this be Qin Ge
But she loves him more
Is she in love with this man with droopy eyes and scruffy beard
She only saw people scattered outside the palace, some walking in groups, some walking alone, all with sarcasm and ridicule, even Prince Ning and Zong Pu lowered their heads -
"Guess what, Ajing, is that you, huh?"
She gritted her teeth and tried to walk to him, but after taking a few steps, she was blocked by a tall white figure. The evil smile in his tone...
She was startled suddenly, but fell into Shangguan Jinghao's sneaky eyes, but then she saw him suddenly raised his head and looked forward. She turned sideways and saw Qiaomei coming over with Cai Ning and Yin Ping.
Yinping's smile was shining, and she ran to King Xia's side in two or three steps.
King Xia frowned slightly, "Why are you here?"
"Aunt and the Crown Princess accompanied me to buy things for the wedding. Although you made me angry last time, you gave me toys every day afterwards. This time, I will forgive you. Why, I came to pick you up. Do you like it?"
…
Many people came forward to congratulate King Xia. Shangguan Jinghong was walking quietly by King Xia. Looking at King Xia, looking at the man who was always high and mighty beside him, Shen Qingling felt confused. She knew Shangguan Jinghong saw her, but she couldn't move a step at this moment. The prince stared at Qiaomei who was approaching calmly, still whispering, "Why, do you regret today?"
Looking at the gazes of people everywhere, Qiaochu thought that she guessed what had happened in the hall.
She stared blankly at the man who was walking quietly on the wide road with his head down, his slightly limping steps, and the iron mask he never took off in front of others. She was heartbroken... Why was Lang Linling still beside Lang Xiang and not going over
"Master, are we going back?" The four men beside him asked timidly.
"No."
She answered slowly and walked out.
The vivid space between heaven and earth seemed to come to a sudden stop.
She saw that everyone was looking at her in surprise, including the emperor standing at the palace gate.
She stopped in front of the man in green robes and blocked his way. The man slowly raised his head, his eyes were dark, bloodshot and full of a faint mockery, and when they met, he was slightly shocked.
Tears rolled down her eyes, but she just smiled and held out her hand to him, "Jinghong, let's go home."

Shangguan Jinghong stared at her for a long time, the mockery in his eyes deepening, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "Go home? Where is home?"
"Whether it's your mother's old house or Prince Rui's mansion, the three of us can be together anywhere."
Qiaochu could hardly keep the smile on her lips, and she dug her fingernails into her palms. Seeing him like this, she felt so heartbroken that she almost cried, but she knew clearly that she couldn't, because every pair of eyes in the yard was watching her.
After a long while, he still didn't answer. With her hand stretched between them, she felt anxious and painful, looking at his gray and motionless eyes, her heart gradually dimmed. Suddenly, her hand curled up in her sleeve felt warm, her heart skipped a beat, and he stretched out his hand to pry open her fingers, which were tightly clenched and whitened by the knuckles, one by one.
He then reached out and embraced her.
"Uncle Tie, you should take Concubine Lang and Miss Lin back home first. If Concubine Lang wants to go to her mother's house with the Prime Minister today, you should take Miss Lin home first."
Geng Qiaochu was startled. She felt the great strength flexing in his arms, but heard him staring ahead and giving orders.
Lao Tie was walking over with worry in his eyes. Upon hearing this, he immediately nodded in agreement.
Qiaochu is relieved that some people will never leave him.
He slowly let her go, turned around, glanced at Lang Linling and Shen Qingling, and bowed to Lang Xiang.
Still as humble and polite as before.
Lao Tie walked over.
Lang Xiang still frowned and returned the salute somewhat uncomfortably.
"Let's go."
The officials around him, including Shangguan Jinghao, Shangguan Jingcong, Lang, Shen and Cai Ning, all looked at him with strange eyes, either mocking or thoughtful. Qiaochu looked at him as he slowly stood up and stood straight, and nodded with a smile.
The two were about to leave hand in hand when a majestic voice came from behind, "How is Concubine Qiao these days?"
It's the emperor!
The voice was calm, but the tone was not friendly.
At this moment, Shangguan Jinghong's hand suddenly pressed heavily on her hand.
The two men turned around together and saluted the emperor.
The emperor stared at her with a half-smile, "Get up, you are not feeling well, it would be better if you come to the palace less often."
The double meaning in the words reveals a chilling and chilling aura that makes people shudder.
Qiaochu was shocked. Was it because he hated the whole family or some other secret she didn't know about, the emperor treated her... She vaguely felt like killing her.
But at this moment, she and he were in a situation where begging was not the only option.
Her hand, tightly held in his, gradually calmed her down.
She suppressed her panic, raised her head and smiled slowly, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Qiaochu knows that I shouldn't have done that, but Qiaochu had a dream last night. She dreamed that Concubine Chang was holding a baby girl and told Qiaochu that it would rain tomorrow and Xiaoba didn't bring an umbrella. She had to take care of her sister and would never be able to come. Qiaochu had no choice but to come and bring an umbrella for my master."
The emperor was waiting for her answer with a smile on his face, but when he heard the words, he suddenly shook and his face turned pale. Xia Haibing and Mo Cunfeng on both sides hurriedly supported him.
"Father."
Shangguan Jinghao, Shangguan Jingcong and Prince Ning also hurried forward.
"Your Majesty, take care. Your son and Qiaochu will take our leave first. We will not disturb your rest."
The emperor sneered, "Okay, okay, starting from tomorrow, you don't have to come to court, and your woman doesn't have to bring you an umbrella."
"Son... obey!"
Qiaochu was still kneeling on the ground, but Shangguan Jinghong pulled him up and held him in his arms.
The ministers also came forward. In the chaos, Shangguan Jinghong glanced at Lang Linling calmly, and finally his eyes slowly fell on Shen Qingling. Qiaochu saw Shen Qingling's eyes were filled with tears, and she seemed to be coming over. The big hand in her hand seemed to loosen. She was startled, pursed her lips, and was about to pull her hand out, but her hand suddenly tightened, "Follow me."
Her heart was in a mess until Shangguan Jinghong dragged her to a place and made her stand still.
In front is Mochou Lake, and behind is the charred Changfei Palace in the corner of the outer wall.
On the way, we passed through flowers and plants, through secluded paths, and through the palace gate.
It's like traveling through time and years.
After they both stood still, Shangguan Jinghong let her go.
The wrist was red, and Qiaochu saw a fierce look bursting out from Shangguan Jinghong's sullen eyes.
"I shouldn't have said that just now, and you shouldn't have taken me away. Let your father punish me so that he can vent his anger, which will be good for you. I will go back and apologize."
As she was about to turn around, Shangguan Jinghong reached out and pulled her back into his arms.
"No, that's a good thing to say, you did the right thing."
"Then you... you are angry..."
"Don't let go. Even if it seems like I'm letting you go, don't let go. I won't let go, never. You can only be mine, and I can only be yours..."
The dampness from the drizzle on his body brought out the fragrance of pine orchid, which hit her mouth and nose. Qiao Chu trembled all over and stiffened in Shangguan Jinghong's arms, her eyes already wet.
"I know that if you follow me, you will be wronged. Just cry out whatever grievances you have... Even if I have nothing today, I will definitely protect you."
The voice was light, but so firm that it flew into her ears with the wind. Qiaochu closed her eyes tightly, and finally couldn't hold back the tears that burst out. Not for herself.
Qiaochu, even if you have doubts about me in your heart, you are enough for me!
I no longer care whether it is charity or not.
New sunshine on the lake after the rain.
Stroking the hair of the woman in his arms, Shangguan Jinghong's eyes were as sharp as a rhino, and they were deeply hidden in the dazzling sunlight.
After a while, Qiaochu asked in a low voice: "What should we do now?"
Shangguan Jinghong slowly let her go, "How about going out for a walk?"
"good."
Qiaochu answered without hesitation. She understood the pressure he was under.
What she should do now is not to force him, but to accompany and trust him.
Try to trust Him firmly, no matter what the outcome.
If he can succeed, she will be happy for him; if he can't, she is willing to die with him.
Shangguan Jinghong saw the woman's calm expression, and he seemed to know what she was thinking. He felt distressed and overjoyed, but he just smiled and said, "I'll go shopping with you. You can buy whatever you like."
Shopping? Qiaochu was stunned. Turning grief and anger into shopping
"Let's go to another restaurant."
He continued to suggest.
Turn grief and anger into appetite.
Chaoge Street.
"You seem very happy."
The beauty glanced at the four men, who bit off half of the head of the candy man in their hands. "Master, buy us some food. What are you complaining about? Oh, I understand..."
She glanced at the intimacy between the two people in front of her and laughed secretly.
Qiaochu didn't notice the criticism behind her. She ate the candied haws while looking around the street. Shangguan Jinghong saw her eating so sweetly and felt incredible. "This thing is so cheap, how can it be so delicious?"
Qiaochu chuckled and whispered, "I have morning sickness. This thing is sour and sweet, so I like it. You have a prince's disease. Does it mean that cheap things are not good? Whether something tastes good depends on who you eat it with, not what you eat."
Shangguan Jinghong didn't expect her to say that. He was stunned for a moment, but then he felt extremely comfortable and happy. He liked to hear her talk about morning sickness, because that was his child. He liked her talking about who she was with even more. Of course, he wouldn't show it. He liked her treating him like that. If he was happy, she might not necessarily pay attention to him, so he just said "hmm" lightly.
Qiaochu saw that his face was gloomy.
