After her luck was taken away, she fell in love with the woman who traveled through time.

Seeing Xu Shengsheng, Liang Tan asked without even raising his head: "What's the matter?"

……

On the way to the capital, Liang Tan and Xu Shengsheng's carriages were originally going to go together, but they met Madam Li halfway. Madam Li missed Xu Shengsheng's locust flower cake and warmly called her to get on the Li Mansion's carriage.

"Don't mind, Tan'er. My carriage is really small and can only accommodate two people. Otherwise, let Tan'er get on the Li Mansion carriage too."

Liang Tan looked at Madam Li. It seemed that Madam Li had completely forgotten about taking Li Ruo to the Liang Mansion to ask for forgiveness.

As much as she hated Xu Shengsheng before, she now likes Xu Shengsheng as much as before. As for Liang Tan, she doesn't care about him as much and likes him as much.

The opposite of Mrs. Li is Li Ruo.

Li Ruo changed his behavior and was no longer like before, completely focusing on Xu Shengsheng and blaming Liang Tan.

He doesn't have any feelings for Xu Shengsheng now, but he has some good feelings for Liang Tan. Besides this good feeling, he even feels a little guilty, feeling guilty about why he treated his ex-fiancee like that on impulse.

Li Ruo looked at Madam Li unhappily: "Mom, what are you doing?"

He looked at Xu Shengsheng in Mrs. Li's carriage.

Xu Shengsheng was also looking at Li Ruo. She knew very well why Li Ruo's feelings for her suddenly dropped.

Xu Shengsheng smiled at Li Ruo and said, "Mr. Li, Madam Li wants to eat Sophora japonica cake. I'm here to give it to Madam Li..."

Li Ruo didn't listen to her. He interrupted Xu Shengsheng and said, "You are Mr. Liang's adopted daughter, right?"

"Yes...I am the adopted daughter of Lord Liang."

"Then you are considered half a daughter of the Liang family, don't you know this little bit of rules?"

Xu Shengsheng didn't understand what Li Ruo wanted to say.

She was puzzled and said, "Shengsheng is stupid and didn't understand what Master Li meant."

Li Ruo laughed, and his laugh was somewhat sinister: "It's no wonder that you don't know how to avoid suspicion. After all, she is a concubine's daughter, how can she be compared with the legitimate daughter."

Mrs. Li understood the implicit meaning of Li Ruo's words.

Li Ruoshou's temperament suddenly changed a few days ago.

His original image of being infatuated with Xu Shengsheng suddenly turned into the image of a heartless man who felt guilty towards Liang Tan and regretted his past actions.

Even Mrs. Li suspected that he was possessed by some evil spirit.

Li Ruo slapped himself in the face all day long at home, reflecting on how he could have done such things to Liang Tan one after another, and regretted it.

He had been thinking about how to make up for his mistakes and seek Liang Tan's forgiveness, but before he could figure out a way, his mother held him back.

Li Ruo thought, if his mother was close to Xu Shengsheng, wouldn't Tan'er be even angrier?

But Li Ruo didn't dare to say anything directly to Mrs. Li, so he could only direct his words at Xu Shengsheng.

It's strange that Xu Shengsheng, as an adopted daughter of the Liang family, didn't know how to avoid suspicion with the future husband of the eldest daughter.

Madam Li defended Xu Shengsheng and scolded Li Ruo: "So what if they are children of illegitimate wives? As long as they are clever and skillful, they are all good children!"

Li Ruo raised an eyebrow. He looked at Madam Li in disbelief: "Mom, are you crazy?"

Seeing that there were outsiders present, Madam Li naturally couldn't teach Li Ruo a lesson directly. She deliberately put on a stern face and said, "You little bastard, how dare you say your mother is crazy."

In Liang Tan's eyes, the interaction among the three people was like watching a play that had nothing to do with him.

Liang Tan's expression didn't even change for the slightest moment. Liang Tan said calmly, "Madam is free to let anyone get on the Li Mansion's carriage. What right does Tan'er have to mind?"

Mrs. Li showed no expression when Liang Tan said this so casually, but Li Ruo seemed even more excited.

Li Ruo was still busy explaining to Liang Tan: "Tan'er, my mother..."

"Mr. Li, there is no need to explain further. Liang Tan understands everything."

Li Ruo pressed on: "Understand? What do you understand?"

Liang Tan was too lazy to pay attention to Li Ruo. He said something polite and asked Dengzhi to close the car door.

Liang Tan was sitting in the carriage and could vaguely hear Madam Li, Li Ruo, and Xu Shengsheng singing on the stage outside.

Liang Tan pretended not to hear and leaned against the cushion at the back to take a rest.

On the way to the capital, Xu Shengsheng made trouble in various ways to create opportunities for herself and Li Ruo to be alone together, so they were delayed for a few days.

After arriving in the capital, they didn't even have time to rest as they hurriedly changed into clothes for the Spring Banquet.

[Should I wear something more plain or something more festive for a spring banquet? 】

Xu Shengsheng was in a dilemma.

[Tip: The Queen likes light colors, while the Imperial Concubine likes bright colors. ]

[So polarized? ]

【Yes. 】

In terms of status, the Empress is higher than the Imperial Noble Consort, but in reality, the Empress is a mere figurehead, and the Emperor and the Imperial Noble Consort are in love with each other without a doubt...

The reason why the Queen was able to sit on the position of Queen Mother was that many years ago, her father, the Duke of Zhenguo, rescued a hostage in the northwest, but unfortunately he himself contracted a serious illness. He left a letter before his death, entrusting his son to the late Emperor, requesting the late Emperor to marry his only daughter to the future Crown Prince.

The Duke of Zhenguo had no son, so after he passed away, the mansion gradually became desolate.

Later, the hostage became the crown prince, and the late emperor fulfilled his promise and married the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, Lu Jinglan, to the crown prince. Although the crown prince married Lu Jinglan, the couple always treated each other very closely.

Until the prince proclaimed himself emperor, he brought the woman he had fallen in love with when he was a hostage in the northwest into the palace, despite the opposition of court officials, and named her Concubine Li.

The emperor was on the throne for thirteen years, and the empress had only one daughter, and the princess unfortunately died early. However, Li Bin gave birth to seven children, three boys and four girls, in thirteen years, and was promoted step by step to the current position of Imperial Noble Consort.

The palace knew the emperor's bias, so the empress and the imperial concubine had the same monthly salary, and even the palaces they lived in were of the same specifications.

Although the emperor has not yet appointed a crown prince, everyone says that when any of the imperial concubine's three sons becomes the future emperor, he will regard the imperial concubine as the empress dowager; and the empress, who has no children at all, is just an empty shell now, with only the title of empress, let alone a future.

Xu Shengsheng is not stupid, she continued to talk to the "Heroine Halo".

[So I'd better wear something brighter! I will definitely be the focus of everyone's attention.]

[Do you choose to capture the Imperial Concubine? ]

[Yes, the Imperial Concubine is so favored, and she has a future emperor as her son, so I must capture her. Can you give me some information about the Imperial Concubine's life? That's not too much, right?]

[Royal Consort, Li Lan, was born in the xx tribe in the northwest. She loved martial arts and literature since she was a child. She loved wearing red clothes and riding a horse in the desert. When she was ten years old, she met the hostage Lian Jiting. They were childhood sweethearts and fell in love. After Lian Jiting married Lu Jinglan as the crown prince, he concealed the fact that he married the crown princess and secretly brought Li Lan to the capital. Li Lan accidentally learned the truth and broke up with Lian Jiting. Lian Jiting pursued her relentlessly and finally managed to make Li Lan pregnant and entered the palace. ]
