nChapter 19: Real, Fake Lian Gongzi

n“Niangniang is worried that the empress will make things difficult for third miss, so she let me come take a look. Niangniang said that it doesn’t matter if you can’t find Lian gongzi. If somethings happen, you still have her, she won’t let the empress bully third miss!”

nReally?——Murong Qi Qi revealed a mocking smile in front of the mirror.

nIn the past when the original owner of this body was framed by Murong Xin Lian, she didn’t see Murong Xue Lian, this sister of the same father and mother, come forward to speak up for her! Now, she is worried that her position will be affected so she wants to use this little trick to bribe her. Does she (MXL) still think she was the Murong Qi Qi of the past?

n“En, hearing these words of jiejie, I’ll be at ease!”

nMurong Qi Qi smiled sincerely.

n“I was so worried and so scared. Now that I have jiejie, I won’t be afraid of anything! Even if the empress comes, I won’t be afraid anymore!”

nHearing such stupid words from Murong Qi Qi, Hu Po is sure that this third miss not only doesn’t have talent and ability, she also doesn’t have a brain. She said some more words and left chengxiangfu in a hurry.

n“Is it really like that?”

nInside Piao Xue palace, after Murong Xue Lian heard Hu Po’s words, her mood is extremely good.

n“This time, bengong can rest assured! By the way, is there any news from Qing Luan Palace? If Qi Qi can’t find Lian gongzi, how did the empress say she’ll punish her?”

n“The empress will make it so that third miss can’t become Jing wangfei.”

n“Ha ha!”

nAfter hearing this news, Murong Xue Lian applauded. The ruby under her earlobe also shook because of her actions.

n“This is the result that bengong wishes for! Jing wang is a popular candidate for the position of the crown prince. If he becomes the crown prince, then won’t Murong Qi Qi be crown princess and in the future, the empress?Bengong hasn’t even become the empress, how could she have that turn?! The crown prince’s position, bengong has already set my eyes on it. This time, the empress has helped me!”

nMurong Qi Qi rested for a few days. Originally, she wanted to let Duanmu Qing and Duanmu Yi Yi wait. She didn’t expect that on the fifth day, Duanmu family would send a person to pick her up and say that Lian gongzi is at Duanmu fu. He has already cured the tendons for Duanmu Yi Yi and that Lian gongzi had asked to see her.

n“Miss, who is pretending to be you?”

nInside the carriage, Su Yue frowned. Lian gongzi is obviously her miss, why did another Lian gongzi appear? For what kind of purpose is the other party pretending to be miss?

nSeeing Su Yue’s oval face with furrowed brows, Murong Qi Qi reached out her hand to touch her eyebrows.

n“Whoever he is, counter the soldiers with arm and the water with an earth wear.”

nCounter the soldiers with arm and the water with an earth wear: to adopt appropriate measures to the situation

n“If Su Mei had known that someone would dare to pretend to be miss, she would surely dismember the other party!”

nHearing Murong Qi Qi say that, Su Yue laughed. A faint dimple appeared on her left cheek.

n“That’s why I didn’t bring her! She is quick tempered; you are more stable. I was worried that she will smash Duanmu fu, that’s why I sent her to Tong Bao Zhai. But I’m very curious about this ‘Lian gongzi’. Really looking forward to seeing him!”

n“Miss, isn’t this called the ‘showdown of real fake Lian gongzi’?”

nSu Yue began to joke around.

n“This name is not bad!”

nWhile the master and servant chatted, they arrived at Duanmu fu. Duanmu great family’s housekeeper personally came to lead Murong Qi Qi inside. All the way, the housekeeper’s attitude towards Murong Qi Qi is very respectful. Presumably it’s because of Lian gongzi, making Murong Qi Qi looking more forward to seeing this ‘Lian gongzi’.

n“We’ve arrived!”

nThe moment Murong Qi Qi entered the room, she saw a tall slender figure.

n“Lian gongzi, miss Murong has arrived!”

nThe housekeeper’s voice revealed his respect for this person.

n“Qi Qi, you’ve come……”

nAfter this person turned, Murong Qi Qi finally saw his face. The flowing blue clothes on this man, made him seem to be in high spirits. Sterling silver cuffs and collar buttons were perfect for calling attention. It’s just that those yellow bean sized buttons must be worth a lot of money. Looking at his eyebrows, they are long like the wings of a giant bird. And that pair of slightly narrowed eyes revealed amusement but will make people unable to pry into them. High nose bridge like a towering cliff and that pair of cold thin lips are in an arc, revealing a cool thin smile.

nWho is this person? The precautions in Murong Qi Qi’s heart opened. Such a handsome and cool man who doesn’t have a shortage of smartness, why is he pretending to be Lian gongzi? These are the doubts in Murong Qi Qi’s mind.

nEspecially that full of sentiment ‘Qi Qi’, made Murong Qi Qi got goosebumps.

nShe is sure that she has never seen this man before. And his intimate tone full of love made everyone’s eyes focus on Murong Qi Qi. Among them, there’s a thirty something woman in gorgeous clothes.

n“Not having seen for three years, Qi Qi has become more attractive.”

nNot waiting for Murong Qi Qi’s soul to return to her body, Lian gongzi has already come in front of Murong Qi Qi. Long slender fingers touched Murong Qi Qi’s cheek.

n“That’s right, you’ve become taller and more beautiful.”

n“Who are you?”

nMurong Qi Qi dodged his touch and asked in a voice that only the two of them can hear.

n“I’m Lian, ah. Your Lian.”

nIf it wasn’t because there were people still present, Murong Qi Qi would’ve surely vomit blood. When did she meet this man? And this one ‘your Lian’, if it wasn’t for the people, Murong Qi Qi would’ve punched his face and greet his eyes. (She means that the punch will land on his eyes)

n“Qi Qi wants to hit me?”

nSeeming to have realized the anger in Murong Qi Qi’s eyes, Lian held Murong Qi Qi’s clenched fists with a smile. The two of them stared at each other. Murong Qi Qi saw the smile in the other’s eyes.

nNot waiting for Murong Qi Qi to rebel, Lian gongzi pulled her to the woman in gorgeous clothes.

n“The things she promised niangniang, Qi Qi has already done them. Presumably niangniang won’t make things difficult for Qi Qi anymore!”

nSo this person is the empress, Duanmu Qing?

nMurong Qi Qi quickly freed her hands and bowed to Duanmu Qing.

n“Chennu1 greets the empress! Empress, thousand thousand thousand years!”

nMurong Qi Qi’s good attitude made Duanmu Qing feel good. At the palace, she is fighting with Murong Xue Lian. Here, her meimei is treating her respectfully. This greatly satisfied Duanmu Qing’s vanity.

n“Stand up! Let bengong take a look!”

nDuanmu Qing held Murong Qi Qi’s hand and carefully looked at her. She didn’t have Murong Xue Lian’s flirtatious look. Murong Qi Qi’s looks could only be considered ordinary. This made Duanmu Qing’s heart feel even better.

n“You’re a pleasant child. No wonder Lian gongzi cares about you…….”

n“Niangniang!”

nLiang gongzi has already taken Murong Qi Qi into his embrace.

n“The things I promised niangniang, I already did them. Asking niangniang to not forget what niangniang has promised me. I’ll take my leave……

nNot waiting for Duanmu Qing to speak, Lian gongzi grabbed Murong Qi Qi and left here.

nAfter Murong Qi Qi and Lian gongzi has left, Duanmu Lei came to Duanmu Qing’s side.

n“Meimei, do you believe him?”

n“Gege, his treatment techniques that he used on Yi Yi, you also saw, it’s really unheard and unseen before. Bengong has a hunch that he will be able to cure me! Gege, bengong tried so many medicines but they had no effect. Liangongzi is my only hope. Bengong must give birth to a crown prince!”

n“If he is won over by huangguifei, then what? Murong Qi Qi is huangguifei’s biological meimei!”

nIt seemed that I haven’t explain what huangguifei is. Huangguifei is the highest ranked imperial consort. She is only below the empress. If the empress is away, she will take over the empress’s duties. So ranked first is the empress, then huangguifei, then comes the four fei who are equally ranked.
