Chapter 285 - Why is she not as good-looking as me

1

The second prince and the others found it difficult to walk over now.

Thus, he brought them to the restaurant diagonally across and entered the private room that Shi Qingluo had reserved.

At the same time, in a private room in the same restaurant, two middle-aged men with extraordinary auras had just opened a small window and looked down.

They had been watching the entire process.

Now that the farce was over, the two of them went back to sit down at the same time.

If Shi Qingluo and the others downstairs saw this, they would definitely be shocked.

Because one of them was actually the emperor.

After the emperor sat down, he said to the pale-faced man, “The moment you returned to the capital, you saw a big show.”

Liang Yulin laughed lightly and said, “It was indeed a big show.

“I didn’t expect my royal brother’s senior general to be such a person.

“Tomorrow morning, the yushi will have something to do again.”

Just the matter of Xiao Yuanshi and Ge Chunru being incestuous would definitely be discussed by the yushi countless times tomorrow.

The emperor’s expression turned cold. “Xiao Yuanshi is getting more and more outrageous.”

He did not expect that a senior general like him would actually marry the daughter of his sworn brother in secret.

This was simply humiliating.

He was even more thankful that Shi Qingluo had caused such a ruckus.

Otherwise, he would have wanted to transfer Xiao Yuanshi to the northern border.

His character was not reliable at all.

Even if he was good at handling matters, the emperor did not want to place him in an important position.

Seeing that his royal brother was unhappy, Liang Yulin smiled and changed the topic. “Xiao Yuanshi’s original wife and his daughter-in-law were quite interesting downstairs.”

He could tell that the woman was not a bold and arrogant person.

When she slapped Xiao Yuanshi, her entire body was trembling, and her legs seemed to have gone soft.

Her fierce look was more like a bluff.

However, she still stood up for her daughter-in-law and exposed what Xiao Yuanshi and his current wife had done.

This required a lot of courage, as if there was a force supporting her.

She seemed to be a much better person than Xiao Yuanshi’s niece, Ge Chunru.

He wondered if Xiao Yuanshi was really blind.

At the mention of Shi Qingluo, the emperor could not help but laugh. “That girl has a very good relationship with Rongrong. Both of them are fearless.

“Shi Qingluo used the same method to groom her mother-in-law. According to previous intelligence, she used to be weak and easy to bully.”

Liang Yulin could hear the fondness in his brother’s tone when he mentioned Shi Qingluo.

He nodded. “It’s good that there has been a change. I’m still afraid that she’s still weak and easy to bully.”

He felt that Mother Xiao’s fierce appearance just now was a little amusing.

The emperor looked at his brother and asked, “You won’t be leaving for a short period of time after coming back this time, right?”

His brother’s health wasn’t too good as he was born prematurely.

Previously, he had spent most of his time recuperating in the imperial temple, mostly because the weather and scenery were pleasant there.

There were also two highly respected masters lecturing at the imperial temple.

His younger brother liked it.

Liang Yulin nodded. “I plan to stay for a period of time this time to accompany our mother.”

The emperor chuckled and said, “Our mother often talks about your marriage. Why don’t you take the opportunity to come back and find a woman to tie the knot?”

His younger brother was still single at thirty-two, which made his mother extremely anxious.

Liang Yulin didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “With my body, I can’t have children in the future. Why do I have to harm someone else’s girl? Let’s just forget about it.”

Although his body was being nursed and he could live like a normal person most of the time, the imperial hospital had concluded that there was basically no hope for him to have a child in the future.

That was why he never got married.

However, the emperor was unhappy. “What do you mean by harming someone else’s girl? It’s her honor to be able to marry you.

“You can’t stay single forever. You should find someone close to you to spend the rest of your life with.”

This was his younger brother.

Before he ascended to the throne, even if he was not in good health, he had helped him a lot.

Their brotherhood was very strong.

“If you don’t get married, our mother will not let you off.

“So, take a good look around the capital recently. If you meet a suitable girl, I will grant you a marriage.”

Liang Yulin nodded helplessly. “We’ll see.”

His mother and brother had been extremely worried about his marriage.

If he really met a suitable girl, he wouldn’t mind marrying her.

However, he would also ask her in advance if she minded the fact that he couldn’t have children.

If she did mind, then forget it. He wouldn’t harm her either.

Hearing that his brother had agreed, the emperor smiled and said, “Then you should go out more recently.

“I’ll get Xiao Hanzheng to help you take care of your body. He’s the divine doctor’s disciple.”

In the past, it was also thanks to this divine doctor that he was able to source medicine for his brother.

Only then was he able to grow up and live like a normal person.

Unfortunately, this divine doctor had already passed away.

Liang Yulin did not reject his royal brother’s good intentions. “Alright, then thank you very much, my royal brother.”

The two of them chatted for a while more before leaving the restaurant under the protection of the secret guards.

No one noticed them.

On the other hand, Shi Qingluo and the others went to the jewelry shop to choose some jewelry first.

Naturally, Xiao Hanzheng was the one who paid for them.

Liang Youxiao and Xi Rui also bought some.

After they came out, Mother Xiao brought Xiao Baili and Xiao Erlang back home first.

Shi Qingluo and the others just happened to meet Xi Rong who had rushed over, so they went to the private room of the restaurant that they had arranged to meet diagonally across.

After entering the private room, they realized that the second prince and the others had actually arrived.

Shi Qingluo smiled and greeted them casually, “Hello, second prince, fifth prince, Young Master Qi!”

As for Ge Chunying, she ignored her.

Liang Hengshao smiled and said, “You guys are here!”

Those who did not know better would have thought that he was very familiar with Shi Qingluo and the others.

Ge Chunying was shocked in her heart.

She did not expect that the second prince actually had an appointment with Shi Qingluo and the others.

She thought that it wasn’t convenient for them to go to the jewelry shop because of the previous incident, so he brought her to eat first.

Seeing Shi Qingluo, Ge Chunying’s hands, which were in her cloak, were tightly clasped together.

This woman had caused her sister to be humiliated greatly.

She heard from her sister that Shi Qingluo had also plotted against Old Lady Xiao and Tao Liu.

Therefore, she had an unusual dislike for Shi Qingluo, and she even wanted to make her disappear.

Unfortunately, her sister’s previous plan had failed.

After sitting down, Shi Qingluo realized that Ge Chunying was staring at her. She could even sense Ge Chunying’s enmity and hatred.

She raised her head and looked straight at Ge Chunying as she asked Liang Hengyu and the others, “This is?”

Liang Hengyu and Qi Yiyang remained silent.

This woman was definitely asking despite knowing the answer.

Liang Hengyu didn’t mind the fuss and smiled. “This is Side Concubine Ge that you wanted to meet previously.”

Shi Qingluo revealed a look of disbelief.

Then, a disappointed expression appeared on her face. “Didn’t you say that she looks like a heaven immortal? Why is she not as good-looking as me!”

Everyone present uttered under their breath, is it really alright for you to insult Ge Chunying first and then praise yourself?

Liang Hengyu and Qi Yiyang knew this would happen.

The two of them wanted to laugh.

Xiao Hanzheng, Xi Rui, and the others were completely used to it.

Shi Qingluo usually treated people she didn’t like like this.

Xi Rong sat next to Shi Qingluo and looked at Ge Chunying critically. “I heard that my second cousin was astonished when he met her. So this is what shocked him? Rumors are indeed unreliable.”

She then turned to Shi Qingluo and said, “It’s not that she’s not as pretty as you, but you’re much prettier than her.”

Shi Qingluo used her hands to make a flower gesture on her chin. “Really? Actually, I think so too.”

Liang Hengyu and the rest were speechless.

The two of you should finish this conversation soon.

Can’t you see that Ge Chunying’s expression is almost uncontrollable?
