Chapter 624: Liang Ji: The Liang family can only rely on her.

Shoukang Palace.

Liang Ji, who was wearing a plain dress and had already removed her makeup and jewelry and phoenix crown, was preparing to sweep the bed to welcome him. When she heard the palace maid's report, her pretty eyebrows slightly raised and she asked softly, "Did he really say that?"

"Empress Dowager, these are the exact words of Duke Anguo," said the palace maid.

Liang Ji frowned slightly and breathed a sigh of relief, but then she felt inexplicably annoyed. From childhood to adulthood, no one had ever refused her invitation.

Even though she is no longer young, she is still very confident in her charm. She also knows that the identity of "Queen Mother" is high and mighty for ordinary people and they dare not offend her, but for the man who holds power today, it will only make it more exciting.

Moreover, Chen Mo's reputation as a lustful and good wife was known to the world, so she never thought that she would be rejected.

She sighed in her heart, the imperial power has really declined.

No matter what, that was her oral order, the empress dowager's oral order. Chen Mo was just a subject, but he didn't give her any face and just refused.

As for the Liang family, a few days ago, the family received a letter saying that the wealthy businessmen and gentry who usually fawned on the family have now severed their ties with the family.

The most outrageous thing was that a noble family that had an alliance with the Liang family divorced the girl they had married and drove her back to the family.

If my third uncle (Liang Xuan) were still alive, my father would not have
How dare they do this.

Liang Ji looked at the graceful and beautiful face in the bronze mirror with a hint of self-mockery. Now, all the hopes of the family were placed on her.

……

Under the same night.

Xiangyang, Anguogong Mansion, in the hall.

Several girls dressed in gorgeous clothes and local costumes were talking.

In front of her were several beautiful ladies with their hair covered in pearls and dressed elegantly. However, there was a look of fear and embarrassment on their faces, because at the girl's feet, there was a white tiger with hanging eyes lying coiled.

The girl was Yang Qingqing who came from Shu Prefecture.

Although Shufu is far away from Linzhou, even if it was slow, it should have arrived last month, and it wouldn't have arrived just now.

The reason was that Yang Qingqing was resistant to this marriage, but she couldn't persuade her father, so she was slow on the way here, delaying as much as possible. If it weren't for the guards who were traveling with her, who were also sent by her father to supervise her, and had been urging her, it would probably have been delayed by another month or two.

But even so, she could have arrived at the Duke of Anguo's Mansion during the day, but she delayed it until night, just to leave a deep impression in front of Chen Mo's wives and concubines, make them disgusted with her, and let them complain to Chen Mo, so that Chen Mo would also hate her, and even better, let Chen Mo send her to the "cold palace".

Yang Qingqing's idea was very simple. Since she couldn't refuse this marriage proposal, she would just stop contacting each other and live her own lives. She would just be a nobody in the Anguo Mansion. At the same time, she had a thought of revenge on her father in her heart.

Therefore, facing Wu Mi and other women who came out to greet her late at night, Yang Qingqing did not let her mount, the white tiger, avoid them, but rode the white tiger directly in front of the women. The key point was that she had not put a collar on the white tiger.

Afterwards, she did not have anyone take Baihu away and lock her up alone, but took her directly into the Anguo Mansion and came to the hall. Her reason was that Dabai was her best friend, and she also regarded Dabai as her own relative and wanted to eat and sleep with Dabai.

Facing the friendly Wu Mi and the others, Yang Qingqing's first words were: "Where is my room? I'm tired and need to rest."

This made Wu Mi and Han Anniang, who were usually good-tempered, frown, not to mention the other girls.

Yang Qingqing seemed not to notice their expressions, and said coldly: "What's wrong? You should have received the letter, right? You didn't even clean up my room, did you?"

Wu Mi pursed her red lips, thinking that Yang Qingqing was the "new bride", and did not get angry. Instead, she continued to be friendly and asked her personal maid to take Yang Qingqing to a place to rest.

"By the way, if you want to look for me, just shout outside. Don't come in without permission. If you disturb Dabai and get hurt, don't blame me for not reminding you." Before going down, Yang Qingqing turned back and said the last sentence.

It was because Xia Zhining was not here, otherwise she would have started "swearing" at Yang Qingqing in person.

But even so, after Yang Qingqing left, Xiao Yunxi was the first to speak, her voice cold: "After all, you are from a small place, you have no manners at all."

For the Xiao family in Jiangnan, Shufu is indeed a remote place, deep in the mountains.

"Erlang has brought back a new ancestor this time!" Han Anniang became a little worried. She felt that the originally peaceful backyard would be in chaos with the arrival of Yang Qingqing.

"Don't come in without permission. She's new here, and he has the nerve to say that. She is an outsider, okay? This person's words are so annoying." A hint of disgust appeared in Yi Shiyan's lively big eyes.

This statement was unanimously agreed by all the women.

Xiao Ya said, "Sister Mi, should we tell Brother Mo about this?"

"Not yet." Wu Mi sighed and said, "We don't know what the situation is at the front yet, so I won't let this little thing cause trouble for my husband."

Wu Mi changed the subject, glanced at the girls, and asked, "Where's Xue'er?"

"Sister Xue'er seems to have received a letter from her family today, and she has been out of shape since then." Xia Zhiqing said. "Family?" Wu Mi could vaguely guess what it was when he heard it.

……

Luonan.

In the prime minister's mansion, a well-maintained room became the place where Chen Mo and the other two stayed.

After washing up, between the bed curtains.

Yue Ruyan's pair of slender, straight legs spread apart a little under her skirt. After a moment, she subconsciously closed them, but she couldn't close them together. A mist appeared in her beautiful eyes. She turned around and said in a trembling voice, "Slowly."

"What a pity that the hot spring was ruined by the Soul Devouring Formation. When I left the palace just now, I was still thinking about taking a bath with you two." Chen Mo said in a rough voice, slowing down his movements. He then raised his hand to hug Xia Zhining next to him, but was slapped away by the latter.

"Such a good opportunity, the Queen Mother invites you, why don't you go? In this way, you will have all three generations of the royal family together." Xia Zhining said.

"Cough cough."

When Chen Mo heard this, he started coughing. What the hell are the three generations of old, middle-aged and young people?

Zhining's speech became more and more "open".

Patting Xia Zhining's hips, Chen Mo said to her, "What nonsense are you talking about? It's so late at night, and it will have a bad impact if I go to Shoukang Palace."

Moreover, he went to the capital to support the king. There were so many eyes in the palace, and it was impossible for him to guard every aspect tightly and without any leaks tonight. If he went to Shoukang Palace to keep the appointment, even if nothing happened, all kinds of versions of rumors would probably come out the next day.

What about staying overnight in the palace and causing chaos in the court?

This kind of rumor had never happened when Xu Guozhong and Lu Sheng were in power, so he naturally didn't want to bear this stigma.

Besides, Chen Mo knew why the Queen Mother wanted to see him.

"Are you still afraid of this?" Xia Zhining looked at Chen Mo with interest: "Then the former queen, the Princess Huai, and Princess Zhaoqing, didn't you collect them very well?

Besides, it was the Queen Mother who took the initiative to invite you. She is not afraid, so why should you be afraid?"

"You are really going too far the more you talk."

Chen Mo pulled Xia Zhining to his side, drew his sword and changed its sheath, facing Yue Ruyan's resentful gaze, Chen Mo started practicing with Xia Zhining.

The beauty groaned, and her milky white skin, which looked like it had been washed by milk, turned a beautiful rose red under the orange light. Her smooth and round shoulders, which looked like flawless jade, swayed slightly. After she adjusted herself, she turned around and said, "Are you furious because I said what was in your heart?"

But the only response Xia Zhining received was a burning sensation on her body.

She gritted her teeth and said, "You bastard"

This man is so desperate. Doesn't he want her to live?

Yue Ruyan didn't want to say anything anymore. She even felt that Xia Zhining did it on purpose.

Even at that point, Xia Zhining still got there first.

Chen Mo naturally had not forgotten Yue Ruyan. He gently turned her shoulders and kissed her.

After a moment, their lips parted, and Chen Mo used Dali's unique martial arts again, and then said: "Zhi Ning, Ru Yan, when you entered the city just now, did you see Madam Hui?"

No matter what, Madam Hui is still Chu Juan's mother. Now that Prince Huai is gone, Chen Mo cannot let anything happen to Madam Hui and let Chu Juan lose both her parents.

"What? You've already got three out of four of the Prince Huai's harem, and you still want to complete it?" Xia Zhining sneered.

"I'm serious." Chen Mo's expression was serious. He was a bit lustful, but he wouldn't do anything to Madam Hui. He immediately said, "Whether you believe it or not, I never touched her from beginning to end."

At the beginning, Madam Xiao told him that Madam Hui was in the Huai Palace arranged by Chong Wang of Chongzhou for Huai Wang.

But after arriving in Chongzhou, Chen Mo did not find Madam Hui and thought that King Chong had taken Madam Hui to Luonan.

Seeing Chen Mo's serious voice, Xia Zhining restrained herself a little and said, "No, but today is too chaotic, and there was an earthquake. It's very difficult to find someone. We have to wait until tomorrow."

Yue Ruyan also shook her head and said, "There is no news from Prince Chong, and Lu Sheng's family is also missing. Could it be that they left with Prince Chong or Lu Sheng's family?"

"It's not impossible." Chen Mo thought about it and said.
