Abandon the emperor as a prisoner

Early the next morning, Xiao Luo and Gu Mingzhou left the inn and went to the residence of Xiao Luo's mother and concubine before entering the palace.

Xiao Luo's mother and concubine are named Wei Qingling, who is a well-known beauty in Qufeng, not only beautiful, but also quite talented, proficient in all kinds of poetry, poetry, and Fu in the Ziji Collection of Qin Qi, calligraphy, painting, and history.

Therefore, in Qufeng back then, there were countless men who pursued Wei Qingling overtly and secretly, from high-ranking officials and dignitaries down to talented scholars, it seemed that everyone fell under Wei Qingling's pomegranate skirt.

After spending a whole day inquiring around, Xiao Luo and Gu Mingzhou didn't gain anything.

Not only did they know that Wei Qingling captured the king's heart with a neon dress dance, but also that Wei Qingling did have a lover before entering the palace.

Although Wei Qingling has countless suitors, and people come to propose marriage almost every day, Wei Qingling has high eyesight, and most people don't look down on her at all.

So at first everyone mistakenly thought that Wei Qingling had no one to admire, until one time, a child was playing at the back door of Wei's house, and peeked at Wei Qingling leaning on the beauty by herself, embroidering a silk handkerchief with all her heart.

Wei Qingling seems to be high-spirited, but she is actually friendly to others, especially children.

The children ran into Wei's house through the back door, circled around Wei Qingling, and asked Wei Qingling to sing a tune for them.

Wei Qingling hummed while embroidering. One of the older children who could read found that the flowers Wei Qingling embroidered were orchids, and there was a line of words beside them: Mountains have trees, trees have branches.

After he got home, he told his parents about this matter, and his parents immediately realized that Wei Qingling had someone he liked, and that silk handkerchief was also deliberately embroidered for her sweetheart.

Soon, the news that Wei Qingling had a sweetheart spread all over the streets and alleys of Qufeng. The fathers and villagers looked forward to seeing when their number one beauty in Qufeng would be able to get married, and they were also curious about who was the most sacred person who captured Wei Qingling's heart. .

However, in the end, what they waited for was an imperial decree, Wei Qingling was favored by the emperor, and she was directly named a concubine.

The people of Qufeng were as surprised as Wei Qingling herself, but the emperor's order was hard to disobey, and even Wei Qingling dared not disobey the order.

Some people said that Wei Qingling and the emperor were in love with each other, and they had secretly promised each other long ago, and what they had been waiting for was an imperial decree from the emperor.

However, some people also said that Wei Qingling was forced, and that there was someone else he admired in his heart.

In the end, there were divergent and confusing opinions. In the end, Xiao Luo and Gu Mingzhou only knew that Wei Qingling did have a lover, but they didn't know who the other party was.

"Since I am not the son of the Emperor Yaoguang Kingdom, it proves that my mother and concubine did have other lovers before entering the palace."

Xiao Luo and Gu Mingzhou walked side by side in Qufeng's market. It was late at this time, but the shops on the street were not closed yet.

Gu Zhan Zhan..

Gu Mingzhou heard Xiao Luo's stomach growl.

"Are you hungry?" he asked softly.

"I've been walking for a day, and I'm pretty hungry." After Xiao Luo finished speaking, he rubbed his stomach, "But it definitely wasn't my stomach growling just now."

Gu Mingzhou laughed dumbfounded, and pointed to an inn on the left, "Why don't we go over there and have something to eat?"
