Liang Hengshao watched several people laughing and chatting with each other, but he couldn’t get in at all.
This feeling was not good.
However, it can also be seen that Shi Qingluo was really at home among several dudes.
Xi Rui and the others were of noble status and had a somewhat unruly temperament. They were usually very reclusive. This was the first time he had seen these people recognize one person together.
Or treat them as equals.
This was difficult, but Shi Qingluo did it.
The more he looked at this woman, the less simple she became.
He smiled and asked: “Are the knitted sweaters and trousers you mentioned for sale?”
Having been stabbed twice before, he was smart enough not to speak directly, but instead differently.
He was afraid that this woman would reject him, and he will lose face.
If she knew what was good for her, she would naturally take the initiative to say that she would give him a set.
However, Shi Qingluo didn’t want to get involved with this prince at all: “There should be some for sale in the capital in the future. If you are interested, you can ask someone to buy a set for you to try.”
The Emperor was less than forty years old now. He has ideals, ambitions, and plans. He was also very diligent in governing the country.
As long as there are no accidents, he can sit on the throne for ten or twenty years, and may even be longer.
In this case, it was naturally taboo for anyone to think about his dragon throne, including his son.
Thinking about that position was risky and unnecessary.
If she has to pick a side, she will stand directly with the Emperor. She and her husband have the same idea.
When hugging the thighs, of course, people have to hug the thickest one. Who wanted to play with these little cubs?
The second prince was ambitious and began to win over the courtiers. From the second prince’s point of view, it was normal for him to not be willing to submit to others in the future.
But she and her husband will not play with these ambitious princes.
In any case, it was right to stay as far away as possible.
Besides, not only the Emperor was still alive, but there was also the Eldest Prince in front of these young princes. It can’t be said who will win in the end.
Shi Qingluo felt that the more joyful he jumped now, the harder he would fall in the future.
A low-key person like the Eldest Prince was a truly smart person. At least, he was not blinded by power and high position.
Liang Hengshao: “……”
This woman doesn’t give him a face.
Once he has revealed his real intention to Shi Qingluo.
Shi Qingluo will say to him: “I’m not familiar with you, so it’s inappropriate to give it to you.”
Seeing that Shi Qingluo looked like she wanted to stay away from him, Liang Hengshao became extremely irritable.
He said perfunctorily: “Okay.”
The rain gradually subsided for more than half an hour, and the group left the ruined temple and got on the carriage to return to the city.
Xi Rong and Shi Qingluo were sitting in a carriage.
She whispered: “Luoluo, my second cousin, is not a good person. It’s just right for you to stay away from him.”
Although she was a dandy, she grew up in the palace and knows a lot.
Shi Qingluo chuckled and asked: “Why do you think he is not a good person?”
Xi Rong replied: “He has attracted many young ladies from aristocratic families who want to marry him privately, but he doesn’t marry any of them.”
“And even after marrying someone else, those ladies still miss him.”
“In your words, he is a scumbag.”
Shi Qingluo didn’t expect that the second prince was such a person: “Then, he is a scumbag.”
However, this scumbag was indeed outstanding in appearance, and he has the noble status of a prince. As long as he deliberately displays his so-called charm and gentleness, he can easily make a woman lose her heart.
Xi Rong said: “Since he came here today, he might also want to seduce you in this way.”
Her voice became a little softer: “He has great ambitions, it’s better not to get involved in royal matters.”
She said these words because she sincerely regarded Shi Qingluo as a friend. Otherwise, she would never say those words as a reminder.
The second prince also tries to win over her, but she doesn’t want to interfere.
Shi Qingluo felt warm in her heart. So, she nodded and said with a smile: “I understand. We are loyal to the Emperor, so what do other people have to do with us?”
Xi Rong knew that her friend was a smart person.
She smiled, reached out patted Shi Qingluo’s shoulder, and changed the subject, “I want two sets of sweaters.”
Shi Qingluo chuckled, “I’ll give you four sets to wear.”
She laughed out loud, “Aah, Luoluo, you are so kind. Hahaha”
Liang Hengshao, who was sitting in the carriage in front, was speechless when he heard Xi Rong’s devilish laughter.
This cousin of his looked like she won’t be able to get married.
Although he disdained playing with Xi Rui and others, he wanted to win over a few of them.
Xi Rong was favored by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, so all the princes wanted to win over her.
The Xi Family was Empress Dowager’s natal family, and Xi Rui was very favored by Empress Dowager, so he would be of some use if he could win them over.
Although the Liang Family acted in a low-key manner, they had military power and were very important in the court. In particular, the surname “Liang” was given by the late emperor.
Liang Youxiao was also very talented in business. He wanted to win over the other party for his use and specialized in collecting money.
Fei Yuzhe’s family was a scholarly family for generations. Not only were they highly valued in the court, they also had a good reputation among the literati.
He heard that Old Master Fei wanted to train Fei Yuzhe, so he was also worth wooing.
Just now, he had already seen that these dandies were centered around Shi Qingluo, which surprised him.
If he can hold Shi Qingluo, he may be able to win over these dudes directly.
He shook his head with a gloomy expression. It was a pity that today’s plan failed.
Xi Rui and the others in the carriage behind them also heard the laughter. They couldn’t help but get together and scold Xi Rong.
This female bully was completely taking advantage of her gender as a woman. She must have asked Shi Qingluo for benefits again. Hmph.
*
In the capital, East Palace.
Mo Qingling was playing chess with a man with a cold appearance and temperament.
After a moment, he said: “I lost. His Highness’s chess skills have improved again.”
Liang Hengchen’s stern face was stained with a smile: “I hope you can catch up with me next time you come back.”
Both of them have the same cold and stern type, but Liang Hengchen has more of a superior temperament and a more tempered sharp edge.
Mo Qingling, on the other hand, was calm yet sharp.
At this time, a man in black knocked on the door and came in.
Although Mo Qingling was here, he still told what he had found out today.
This was the Eldest Prince’s order. There was no need to hide anything in front of Young Master Mo.
Hearing that the second prince ran to pretend to be assassinated and injured to approach Shi Qingluo, Mo Qingling was stunned for a moment.
When Liang Hengchen waved his hand, the man in black quickly retreated.
He looked at Mo Qingling and asked: “Surprised?”
Mo Qingling nodded, “I didn’t expect the second prince to be so creative when trying to win over people.”
Liang Hengchen sneered: “He just likes to play this beauty trick. It has been very useful in the past.”
“Third Brother will probably suffer a lot from this move in a short time.”
But he will not remind the Third Prince. He will let the other party and the Second Prince fight slowly, it will be more exciting to watch the show.
He added playfully: “It’s Shi Qingluo’s approach that surprises me.”
His second brother used to play this trick with women and he always gets good results.
Mo Qingling said: “Shi Qingluo is not an ordinary woman. And she has a very good relationship with Xiao Hanzheng. The Second Prince will be disappointed.”
He was speechless and didn’t like the Second Prince’s beauty trick.
Liang Hengchen smiled and said: “I rarely hear you praise others. It seems that if I have a chance, I will also meet Xiao Hanzheng and his wife.”
“You are on good terms with them, so my imperial younger brothers may not be able to sit still.”
Mo Qingling was his cousin and one of the people he trusted.
They were destined to be tied together in terms of their bloodlines. And Mo Qingling had never concealed that he was on his side.
Mo Qingling laughed: “Xiao Hanzheng and his wife are not easy to win over. With their intelligence and wisdom, they will not take sides.”
Liang Hengchen played with the chess pieces in his hand and said casually: “It’s good enough not to take sides.”
He liked smart people like this.
