"Your Majesty, welcome the Queen back to the palace..."

Huangfu Lingao took Qiqing's hand and walked down from the sedan chair.

The injuries on Qiqing's face have all healed thanks to the effect of the Jade Flower Dew.

Even after a year of nourishment from the jasper flower dew, her originally soft and innocent fairy-like face became even more charming and alluring.

And after Shi An's deliberate dressing up, if he wasn't someone he was very familiar with.

It is impossible to tell who is being held in the hand of Emperor Sheng Yuan.

It was the Crown Princess Qiqing who caused a river of blood to flow at Jiuyoutai that year.

Not to mention, who among these ministers has the courage to look directly at the face of the Queen.

From that day on, the people of Shengyuan Imperial Capital and even the entire Shengyuan knew that His Majesty was deeply in love with the Empress and never left her side.

For the sake of the Empress, he left the entire harem empty and only stayed with the Empress for his entire life.

This is a later story. At this moment, His Majesty Emperor Sheng Yuan was looking at the person in front of him with a worried look.

He hurriedly defended himself, "Qing'er, please listen to my explanation. I really don't know what's going on with this Du family.

I haven't been back to the imperial capital for more than half a year, no... since you left Shengyuan last time.

I never saw her again because I ascended the throne in a hurry and left for the southern border within two days.

I have no idea how this Du became...became some kind of imperial concubine!"

After Huangfu Lingao went on an expedition to the southern border, the affairs of the Sheng Yuan court were handed over to the Grand Tutor and several trusted ministers.

The Grand Tutor naturally had no right to confer the title of Imperial Concubine on behalf of the Emperor. Du Shuangshuang's title of Imperial Concubine was conferred by the Empress Dowager herself.

There is not only Concubine Du, there are many other beauties in the harem, all selected by the Empress Dowager for Huangfu Lingao.

Because Huangfu Lingao was not in the palace, there was no formal enthronement ceremony.

There is not only Concubine Du, there are many other beauties in the harem.

They were all selected by the Queen Mother for Huangfu Lingao, and they were just waiting for Huangfu Lingao to return to the palace to be selected and promoted.

Before the position of empress was decided, Concubine Du had been in charge of all the affairs in the harem.

Qiqing was taken back to the Shengyuan Palace, still as the Empress of Shengyuan.

This really surprised the Queen Mother, Du Shuangshuang, and even the beauties in the harem.

There is also Huangfu Lingmeng, who has always been thinking about the Emperor's sister-in-law Qiqing. She can never believe that her sister-in-law Qiqing would be killed by her brother.

Therefore, he had a long quarrel with Huangfu Lingao. Later, Huangfu Lingao went to war and stayed in the Northern Wilderness for more than half a year.

The brother and sister had not seen each other for nearly two years. They heard from each other that their royal brother had returned to the palace and brought back a royal sister-in-law.

There was a bit of resentment in his heart, and he wanted to vent his anger on behalf of the Empress Qiqing.

While Huangfu Lingao was in court, he dragged Concubine Du and several beauties and rushed to the Weiyang Palace where the Queen lived.

Po Sha, who was arranged by Huangfu Lingao to guard Qi Qing, could stop other people, but how could he stop the eldest princess Huangfu Lingmeng?

When Huangfu Lingao returned to Weiyang Palace after court, this was the scene he saw.

Dugu Lingmeng stared at Qiqing blankly, unable to utter a word.

Looks like, very similar!

The same purple eyes, the same figure. But what is different, whether it is temperament or appearance.

When Qiqing followed Huangfu Lingmeng, she was ignorant and well-behaved.

Or the bloodthirsty cruelty on the Jiuyou Terrace.

The woman in front of him had pure and flawless skin and a stunningly charming face.

"You...you...you...can't..." Huangfu Lingmeng had a lot of thoughts in his mind.

"Your Majesty has arrived..."

Huangfu Lingmeng was just about to ask her if she was the Empress Qiqing when he heard the eunuch's announcement.

Huangfu Lingao glanced at the people in the yard and looked at Posha with a frown.

Po Sha immediately told Huangfu Lingao what happened.

Posha was also a little confused when he heard Huangfu Lingmeng introduce the identities of these women.

Now looking at His Majesty, I don’t know what His Majesty will do.

He looked at the woman who stood there quietly from beginning to end with some worry.

Huangfu Lingao obviously noticed Qiqing's distraction and was worried that people would misunderstand him, so he gave the above hurried explanation.

Qing'er? Is she?

When Huangfu Lingmeng heard how Huangfu Lingao addressed that person, his eyes lit up.

He said anxiously: "Brother... could she be..."

At this moment, Huangfu Lingao really wanted to teach his beloved imperial sister, whom he had doted on since childhood, a lesson!

"Ningguo, please don't be rude. Come over and meet your sister-in-law!"

Knowing that his royal brother was really angry, Huangfu Lingmeng was full of doubts.

He could only suppress it for the time being and bowed blankly, saying, "Greetings, Empress..."

Qi Qing smiled at Dugu Lingmeng: "Meng'er...
