In ancient times, she gave birth to seven daughters and was divorced by her husband's family.

At this moment, she turned her head and saw Bai Lu on her left, and on her right... was a young man who looked a little silly.

The young man had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and was very similar to Bai Lu.

With the intention of greeting Bai Lu and the others, Shangguan Yi was stunned and thought to himself: If they look somewhat similar to Madam Bai Lu, could it be... that they are Madam Bai Lu's two brothers?

I heard before that Bai Lu was coming back from Kyoto.

The Shangguan family had originally wanted to meet Bai Lu, so they also got the list of people who came with Bai Lu this time. This should be either Bai Lu's second brother or third brother.

This person is so stupid, he can't be the smart Bai Qingze. He should be Bai Liezhao.

Shangguan Yi immediately stepped forward and started a conversation with the silly man: "This... should be the second son of the Bai family."

Bai Liezhao was stunned: "How do you know who I am?" He was dumbfounded.

Shangguan Yi smiled and said, "I heard that the second and third sons of the Bai family came back from Kyoto with Lady Bai Lu. The second son is a young general with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and a noble and scholarly demeanor. I guess you are the second son."

When Bai Liezhao heard this, he actually thought that Shangguan Yi recognized him because of his imposing appearance and sharp eyebrows and bright eyes.

His expression changed immediately, and his grinning eyes narrowed into a slit: "Miss Shangguan really has a good eye."

"That's right, I am Bai Liezhao."

He was also a little excited. He didn't expect Shangguan Yi to think he was so majestic. Bai Liezhao blushed for a moment...

This is the first time I’ve been praised like this by a little girl.

And the little girl was sitting next to him.

He immediately straightened his chest and coughed twice.

Seeing Bai Liezhao being so silly and cute, Shangguan Yi next to him couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"..."

"!!!"

Shangguan Fusheng, who was not far away, immediately frowned and looked dark: What on earth is Shangguan Yi doing? Let her go on with the greetings, why is she so out of control? Why is she having fun with the second son of the Bai family?

Is it that funny???

No...what is Bai Liezhao happy about?

Shangguan Fusheng was a little confused, and his icy face was about to crack.

I saw Bai Liezhao and Shangguan Yi talking about something and having so much fun.

Shangguan Yi was almost laughing so hard that he almost stopped talking, but when he turned around, he saw Bai Liezhao laughing so hard that his teeth were bared, and they were all white, without even a vegetable leaf between their teeth. Shangguan Yi started laughing again!

Bai Liezhao was just about to hold it together, not wanting to laugh so ugly, but when he turned around, he saw the little girl laughing again.

Somehow he joined in the laughter.

Their shoulders were heaving and they looked like they couldn't hold it any longer.

Shangguan Fusheng was even more confused. No, how did the two of them get together so quickly? !

Originally, I was thinking of asking Liu Da to go over and give Shangguan Yi a few words to tell her not to lose her composure like that.

After all, Bai Lu was right next to them, and the prefect of Qingzhou was also there. If they embarrassed themselves in front of everyone, what would they do if the merchants spread the news?

But seeing Shangguan Yi and Bai Liezhao getting along so well... Shangguan Fusheng thought about it, changed his mind, and said nothing, just pretending he didn't see it.

"..."

Bai Lu was sitting next to Shangguan Yi and Bai Qingze, and she was chatting with some merchants.

The merchants were there chatting with Bai Lu using the children as an excuse. They said with a smile, "I didn't expect the princesses and county ladies to be so beautiful. Compared with our princesses and county ladies, our daughters are simply as dim as the stars and the moon in the sky."

Bai Lu laughed and said, "Oh, gentlemen, please don't say that. How can you belittle your own children like that? Every child is as precious as a pearl."

"Besides, girls are all very pretty."

"The masters are all very handsome. I believe their daughters all take after their fathers, with good looks and a kind appearance."

Immediately, several merchants' favorability towards Bai Lu soared!

Originally they thought that Bai Lu was of noble status, a relative of the Queen, the first lady of our dynasty, and had extraordinary business skills... She took advantage of the chaos in Liangzhou and directly grasped the entire food lifeline of Liangzhou in her own hands. She must be a rather arrogant woman.

As a result, Bai Lu did not take advantage of her talent and become arrogant. Instead, she was calm and polite to others. Several businessmen immediately became more friendly towards Bai Lu.

Bai Lu chatted quite harmoniously with the merchants, and some of their previous grudges were almost gone.

As a result, he turned around and saw Bai Liezhao and Shangguan Yi were very happy and laughing there.

Bai Lu was confused: Huh? Did they know each other before?

Bai Lu couldn't help but turn her head to look at Shangguan Yi next to her, and asked her gently: "Speaking of which, Miss Shangguan, have you met my second brother before?"

"...Oh, I haven't seen him before." Shangguan Yi was a little embarrassed. She quickly smiled and said, "I just felt that I got along very well with the Second Young Master, so I started chatting with him."

Bai Lu smiled and nodded, feeling a little curious.

Sitting on her right was Shangguan Yi, and sitting right to Bai Lu's left was the empress dowager.

It was difficult to tell others about the empress dowager's identity, so she just told them that she was a distant relative of hers.

However, the people present were all shrewd people. If the empress dowager was just an ordinary distant relative, how could she have such a magnanimous demeanor, and how could she sit at the table and sit in the main seat? The prefect of Qingzhou was also very respectful to her, so she must not be an ordinary relative.

They were all very polite to the Queen Mother. When she didn't speak, they didn't ask any questions.

Bai Lu turned her head and looked at the Queen Mother next to her, asking her to ask the Qingzhou Governor: "Queen Mother, please ask the Qingzhou Governor, this Miss Shangguan is still unmarried, does she not have a favorite person, let alone an engagement?"

The Queen Mother knew that Bai Lu was planning to be Shangguan Yi's partner.

When she turned her head, she saw Shangguan Yi and Bai Liezhao were so happy. The Queen Mother twitched her lips and said, "You... still want to be a matchmaker."

Bai Lu smiled and said, "They are both so happy. It's their first time meeting, it must be fate."

I had no intention of acting as a matchmaker for them, as this was their first meeting and it would be too hasty.

But she paid some attention to it, so she wanted to ask the Qingzhou prefect.
