1227. Chapter 1227 Shock

Qi State, Imperial Palace.

Lu Shuang'er was shocked when she saw Liu Guiren. She didn't expect that the person Zhao Yong brought back would be Liu Qiao'er. Before the Lu family was ennobled, Liu Qiao'er was the little maid of the Lu family because of her appearance. She was too outstanding, and she was very conspicuous in the Lu family at a young age. Lu Shuang'er originally took her with him to serve, but several times when he went out, everyone only looked at Liu Qiao'er and did not notice that she was the master. Later, she discovered that even Lu Lingzhi seemed to value Liu Qiao'er particularly, so she had Liu Qiao'er sold to Yiyin Pavilion.

Even my eldest brother doesn’t know about this! She knew that Liu Qiao'er liked her elder brother, otherwise she would not have always appeared in front of her elder brother to attract attention at a young age. How could she have thought that after so many years, Liu Qiao'er would actually become Liu Guiren.

Liu Qiao'er slept all day and felt a little more comfortable today. She walked in charmingly. After saluting, she raised her head and looked at Zhao Yong, showing a charming and gentle smile. She knew very well that the women in the palace were jealous now. She loves her, but so what, she is willing to make others jealous. She has grown up being jealous of others.

"Liu Guiren, thank you for being in contact with the sisters in the palace in the future, so that everyone will not know who you are." Zhao Yong glanced at Liu Qiao'er and was not tempted by the charming and flattering smile on her face. I prefer Lu Yaoyao's cold and proud smile.

I actually thought of Lu Yaoyao again! Zhao Yongjun frowned unconsciously, feeling that the healed wound on his shoulder was a little itchy. Lu Yaoyao was the first woman who could hurt him... It was probably because of this that he treated her a little differently.

Liu Qiaoer responded with a smile, "Yes, Your Majesty." Then he knelt down and saluted, "Sister, I would like to send my regards to you all."

She raised her head and looked at Concubine Lu, who was sitting at the head of the concubines. She had heard that the highest-ranking concubine in the palace was the concubine. She had not seen what Concubine Lu looked like for so many days. She heard that she looked very good. good-looking.

"Guiren Liu is indeed a beauty." Concubine Zhuang Hui covered her mouth with a smile, but there was deep jealousy in her eyes.

Lu Shuang'er didn't speak, just looked at Liu Qiao'er expressionlessly.

Liu Qiao'er looked at her and was suddenly stunned, Lu Shuang'er?

Concubine Lu is Lu Shuang'er?

"Has Liu Guiren known Concubine Lu before?" Zhuang Huifei asked with a smile, "Why is she looking like this?"

"I don't know." Liu Qiao'er quickly replied, "I just didn't expect that the imperial concubine is so beautiful and beautiful, which makes my sister eclipse her."

Lu Shuang'er's face stiffened. Others couldn't understand the meaning of Liu Qiao'er's words, but she understood clearly. Back then, she sold Liu Qiao'er because she was prettier than her. Now that she says such things, is it possible? Aren't you mocking her?

"Guiren Liu is also a beauty." Lu Shuang'er said expressionlessly, "Hurry up and take your seats. Today is Princess Ning's banquet. We must not steal the limelight."

Zhao Yong felt the overt and covert fighting between these women, but he didn't care. No matter how the women in the harem fought, they were ultimately under his control. In his opinion, the purpose of women was to let him vent, and nothing else. What's the use.

Everyone was eating this banquet absent-mindedly. Although they were saying congratulations to Zhao Ning on the surface, everyone was paying attention to Zhao Yong, especially the empresses who had not been favored for a long time. They were all working hard to please Zhao Yong. Yong, I want to get his pity tonight.

Zhao Ning is the most ignorant. She doesn't know if the person sitting on it is Prince Shen whom she saw in Jin Kingdom. If it is him... then why on earth did he not recognize her when he was in Jin Kingdom? Woolen cloth?

The banquet broke up not long after, Zhao Yong took Liu Guiren away, leaving behind a group of envious and jealous women who were whispering curses at Liu Guiren for being so charming. Zhao Ning just pretended not to hear, lowered his head and said goodbye to Lu Guifei and left.

Zhao Rao followed up and looked at her with a smile, "Aning, what's wrong? I felt like you were absent-minded at the banquet just now. Is there something on your mind?"

"Sister, have you seen Prince Shen?" Zhao Ning asked in a low voice.

"I've seen it." Zhao Ning knew what Zhao Ning wanted to ask as soon as he heard it. He must have recognized that his father was too similar to Prince Shen who went to Jin Kingdom. I didn't expect that Zhao Ning's eyesight was even better than Zhao Xin. Zhao Xin That stupid girl didn't even notice the difference between her father and Prince Shen. She probably had never met Prince Shen before and had too little contact with her father.

Zhao Ning glanced at her and said, "Uncle Wang, does he look like my father?"

"Uncle Wang and my father are brothers. They are at least 70% similar." Zhao Rao said with a smile. In fact, Zhao Zhongshen looks very much like his father, but his aura and figure are completely different. Anyone can tell it at a glance.

Prince Shen is a prince who indulges in drinking and sex, which is completely different from his father who practices martial arts all year round.

Zhao Ning's frown relaxed. Maybe what she saw in Jin Kingdom was really Prince Shen, but he looked too much like his father... No, no! If what she saw was Prince Shen, what happened to Liu Guiren?

It's impossible for the women that Uncle Wang took in Jin Kingdom to be given to his father when they arrive at the palace, right? Zhao Xin had never seen Liu Qiao'er in Jin State, but she had seen her before. Liu Qiao'er was the woman that Prince Shen was hiding in the house.

"A-Ning, there are some things in this palace. It's better that you don't know than you do. Sometimes even if you know, you have to pretend you don't know." Zhao Rao whispered gently, "Do you understand what I mean?"

Zhao Ning was stunned for a moment, "I understand."

"Okay, you are tired today. Go back and rest early." Zhao Rao said with a smile. Talking to smart people can always save some energy.

"Sister, I'll go back first." Zhao Ning nodded with a smile.

Zhao Rao watched Zhao Ning walk into the room, then turned and looked back, "Don't come out yet."

"Sister." Zhao Xin walked out from the corner with a worried look on her face, "Sister, I...I think I'm going to die. It turns out that the person who went to Jin Kingdom was not Prince Shen, but Emperor Father. That one Liu Qiao'er... I feel so familiar, as if I've seen her on the road before, she's always been in Uncle Wang's carriage..."

He always noticed it, might as well be considered hopelessly stupid.

"Did father tell you that he was going to Jin Kingdom?" Zhao Rao asked in a low voice.

"No..." Zhao Xin shook his head.

"Then why are you nervous? Are you rude to Uncle Wang in Jin Kingdom?" Zhao Rao asked with raised eyebrows, feeling that with Zhao Xin's character, it is very possible for him to do such a thing.

Zhao Xin pursed her lips. She seemed to look down on Prince Shen, but who knew he was the father.

"Since my father has nothing to say to you, just pretend you don't know anything." Zhao Rao said.
