Chapter 307 Li Huaiqing and Lou Hong's Past

At least Anilan was willing to take a bath.

But on the day she was supposed to enter the palace, although she was envious of the various silver jewelry that Lou Xiao had sent her, she ended up only taking her own.

Because the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion suddenly bought silver jewelry, people in the capital got the news that the young Duke of Zhenguo had changed his preferences.

It brought about a new trend in the capital.

Lou Xiao didn't know that as one of the few single, beautiful and high-ranking women in the capital,

How many people are rubbing their hands, thinking of ways to enter the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

Lou Xiao looked at herself in the mirror and felt a little strange.

Behind her, Lou Hong carefully put the hairpins on her bun, and after making sure there was not a single strand of hair out of place, he put the last silver-sprinkled gold crown on her.

Only she can control the exaggeration and magnificence. No matter how dazzling or heavy it is, it can't take away her beautiful face under the crown, nor can it bend her head that never bows.

"She doesn't allow anyone to serve her, but she has changed the water three times." Lou Hong asked someone to take off her black outer garment. There were silver cloud patterns on her shoulders and a phoenix with wings spread on her back. It was long enough to reach the ground.

Lou Xiao opened her arms and put it on, just like a phoenix flapping its wings towards the sun, ready to fly immediately.

"The silver jewelry you asked me to buy was also delivered, but it is said that she did not wear it and had it put away. Is it okay for her to enter the palace like this?"

Lou Xiao tilted her head towards the mirror and said, "I just came out of Nanzi. If I wear everything from our house, it will be easy to get criticism.

She looks carefree and informal, but she is actually very clear-headed. "

If it is plainer, His Majesty will be more sympathetic to Nanzi.

"As long as she's clean. Have you taught her the rules of the palace?"

In fact, Lou Xiao herself didn't quite understand, but no one dared to blame her.

Anilan was like that, she liked men as soon as she saw them, but she was afraid that she would still be unable to control her words after entering the palace.

If anyone offends some young master, he will ultimately blame her for bringing the person in.

"There are many rules in the palace, and it will take a while to teach her. But I explained the interests to her, and I think she understands."

Lou Hong remembered that Anilan looked at him strangely, so next time if he wanted to convey a message, he should let someone else go.

That's good.

The time had come, Lou Xiao asked the servant to invite Anilan over.

Lou Hong looked around her carefully and found that her waist was empty.

She picked up the jade pendant that the servant had collected when she cleaned her bathroom yesterday.

It is said that accessories worn for a long time will be tainted with the owner's popularity. Lou Hong recognized the origin of the jade pendant at a glance.

He turned his eyes slightly and asked calmly,

"This jade is of excellent quality, it doesn't look like it's suitable for a woman. I wonder which man has won your heart. Should we prepare for the wedding at the Zhenguo Mansion?"

Lou Xiao turned around and suddenly remembered,

He took it with one hand and hung it around his waist. "What wedding are you preparing for? If you want to get married, I can host it for you. Don't even think about anything else."

I forgot about Li Huaiqing's jade pendant. If I come across it when I enter the palace this time, I can just return it to him.

Lou Xiao didn't notice that Lou Hong's eyes were still on the jade pendant. After a moment of silence, he suddenly mentioned Li Huaiqing.

"The Li family has always been very ambitious. Li Huaiqing has been aiming for the position of empress since she was a child, and no one's marriage proposal is allowed. This is a tacit understanding among all the families in the capital.

The Li family was weakened by Your Majesty, so the desire to make a comeback is extremely strong. Li Huaiqing hurried back from Nanzi this time, and he must be preparing to enter the palace."

Don't get involved with Li Huaiqing, that's not a good thing.

"If he enters the harem, he will have to give up his current position. Do you think he is willing to do so?"

Lou Xiao was not speaking for Li Huaiqing, but she was still not sure what Li Huaiqing wanted.

Lou Hong didn't like what she said. He thought she was defending Li Huaiqing and said anxiously,

“He is only a sixth-rank cultivator now, what is there to be reluctant about?

If he enters the harem of His Majesty, the position of empress will be easy for him. According to his ability, one day he will be able to control the court, and even..."

Even overthrow the dynasty——

Before Lou Hong finished speaking, he saw Lou Xiao's eyes shooting at him like a sharp sword.

Only then did he realize what he had said, and he quickly bowed his head and knelt down.

This made Lou Xiao, who was about to give him a beating, sigh and reach out to pull him up.

"You should know clearly that there are some things that should be said and some things that should not be said."

Lou Hong closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said softly,

'"He has always wanted to be the best in everything, and he has always been one step ahead of all of us.

Writing poetry, composing prose, appearance, virtue - even the favor of women."

He had fought for it before. Who would want to be crushed from all sides?

"But he is the best, isn't he?"

Li Huaiqing is a talented person who has been strictly trained since childhood. From the family rules he saw when he was in Nanzi, we know that he has suffered a lot since childhood.

"If my skills are inferior to others, then I have nothing to say." Lou Hong raised his eyes.

"But he treats women as chess pieces, using and discarding them at will. This shows that he is a lowly person and will do anything to achieve his goals. You must not fall into his trap."

This evaluation was very different from what she had seen of Li Huaiqing. Lou Xiao was shocked. "Where did this come from? What happened?"

Lou Hong didn't want to talk about the past, but Lou Xiao and Li Huaiqing were obviously very close.

If he is bewitched and voluntarily allowed to be used by Li Huaiqing, it would be a disaster for the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion!

"At that time, the Li family had not yet taken sides and their attitude was ambiguous. But at that time, King Zheng was at the peak of his power, and their not taking sides had already made their attitude clear.

If the former King Zheng wins, the Li family will have a new powerful prime minister.

If Your Majesty wins, the Li family will have a queen, so you won't lose in any way.

But what kind of person is the former King of Zheng? How could he tolerate the two of them placing bets? He forced Li Huaiqing to get married and cut off any possibility between him and Your Majesty. "

No matter how proud Li Huaiqing was, he could not be prouder than the former King Zheng, who was favored by the late emperor. So, in order to appease the former King Zheng's heart, he found a woman to pretend to marry him.

"So he got together with another woman to protect himself?"

Lou Xiao thought it was nothing and didn't take it seriously.

However, Lou Hong said, "He didn't know that the woman he found was fake, and he was so excited that he canceled the original engagement, thinking that he could marry Li Huaiqing, the number one son of the capital, and reach the top in one step."

The woman who could make the former King Zheng trust and let Li Huaiqing go must be of high status.

Seeing Lou Hong's sad face, Lou Xiao was moved, "The woman's original engagement——"

"It was me." Lou Hong recalled the past, exhausted both physically and mentally, "At that time, I was competing with him in every way, and there were rumors that he stole my engagement, but everyone just laughed at me and no one doubted me.

My family felt ashamed and married me off casually.

As a result, the situation suddenly changed. The former King Zheng somehow displeased the late emperor and was reprimanded, and King Cheng began to take the throne. "

Then the Li family began to fully support King Cheng, the current emperor, and the Li Mansion also announced to the public that it had nothing to do with that woman at all.

"He took advantage of her, making her happily prepare for her wedding, and then suddenly denied it, making her family and my family a laughing stock."

Because of this, the former King Zheng, who had no place to vent his anger, took the woman to vent his anger and wiped out his entire family.
