I have the same father and mother as the emperor, and my appearance follows my mother's concubine. ”

Xiao Mo's face was cold, he didn't have a good airway, he raised his head, he was rebellious, his eyebrows were full of indescribable indifference and alienation, and his temperament was noble and cold, which was by no means comparable to ordinary people.

"Oh, I see, but a woman who can be favored by the emperor must not look bad, even if the emperor doesn't look like you, it shouldn't be ugly."

Qian Qianqian pondered in her heart, biting her lower lip lightly, with a little inquiry in her eyes.

"You are wrong, all along, a woman who can enter the palace to serve the holy car does not need to have a good appearance, but she must have a good family background, so most of the women who are favored by the emperor are not because of their appearance, but because of their family background, the emperor is the son-in-law, and the origin of the queen's mother is the most noble in Xiao Kingdom."

Xiao Mohan lifted his thin lips lightly, his tone was gentle, but full of oppression, reminding Qian Qianqian every word that the emperor's appearance was not comparable to him, if Qian Qianqian thought so, she would be disappointed in the future.

"Then the appearance of your mother must be overwhelming."

Qian Qianqian's gossip on her face, until today, she has never seen Xiao Mohan's mother, and she doesn't know who can give birth to a man like Xiao Mohan.

"My mother died young, leaving only a few portraits, do you want to see them?"

Xiao Mohan also seemed to be interested, looking at Qian Qianqian condescendingly, with a mixture of light and dark in his deep eyes.

"Hmm." Qian Qianqian nodded without hesitation, her eyes suddenly brightened, and her eyes were full of expectation.

Xiao Mohan raised his feet and left the study directly, with his hands behind his back, Qian Qianqian immediately followed, and as Xiao Mohan walked into the room, after a while, Xiao Mohan took out a painting from the cabinet, slowly unfolded it, and a dignified and beautiful woman appeared in front of Qian Qianqian.

Qian Qianqian couldn't help but stretch out her hand, but she didn't touch the person on the painting, I have to admit that Xiao Mohan's mother was really beautiful, and such a dull portrait can't hide her elegance, if it is put in modern times, it can really be compared to a movie star.

"You were born like your mother."

After a while, Qian Qianqian finally came back to her senses and squeezed out a sentence, although Xiao Mohan's facial features are cold and hard, not as soft as the person in the painting, but if you look closely, the charm and edges and corners in the facial features are very similar to the person in the painting.

Xiao Mohan raised his hand to put away the portrait, carefully rolled it up, and hid it in the bookcase, for fear that the portrait would be damaged in the slightest, Qian Qianqian had never seen him so carefully.

"Your mother, how long has it been since she died?" Qian Qianqian looked at Xiao Mohan's movements, and became more and more curious, and couldn't help but ask.

"When I was seven years old, my mother passed away due to illness, and it has been more than ten years since then."

Xiao Mohan's voice was low, and although there was no superfluous expression on his face, Qian Qianqian could see that he had been forbearance in his heart.

"Birth, old age, sickness and death are also human nature, no one can avoid it, fortunately, you have inherited the good looks of your mother, if you are a woman, you must be a rare beauty in this Xiao country."

Qian Qianqian saw that the atmosphere was a little depressed, so she deliberately joked like this, in fact, what she said was also true, if Xiao Mohan was not a man and had the good looks of his mother, he would be able to be called "the first beauty in the capital." ”

"Since ancient times, there has been a lot of life." Xiao Mohan sighed, couldn't help lowering his eyes, as if he was sighing something, Qian Qianqian faintly felt that his mother's death should not be so simple, and it was very likely to end with hatred.

Qian Qianqian couldn't help but be silent, she didn't want to tear Xiao Mohan's wounds, and she didn't know how to comfort her, there were some things she didn't know, so it didn't seem appropriate to say anything.

"So from today on, you have to pretend to be ugly, Xue Yi will look at you, if you want to have a good death in the future, you better listen to me."

Xiao Mohan suddenly raised his eyes and met Qian Qianqian's gaze, saying it categorically, this heavy oppression made Qian Qianqian completely unable to refute.

Qian Qianqian was stunned for a moment, seeing that Xiao Mohan was so serious, she didn't dare to continue to stimulate him, so she nodded indifferently.

Back in the room, Xue Yi also quickly followed, knowing Xiao Mohan's orders, so she deliberately exaggerated Qian Qianqian's dress, and also dotted a lot of pockmarks on Qian Qianqian's face, so at a glance, Qian Qianqian is really an ugly girl who can't get on the stage, let alone the emperor, even if she pulls a man on the street, she shouldn't look down on her.

"Xueyi, isn't this too much? With such a face, how do I go out and meet people? ”

Qian Qianqian was still a little uncomfortable, looking at herself in the mirror, she couldn't accept it for a long time, even if she knew that Xiao Mohan was for her good, she couldn't let go completely.

"Miss Qian, bear with me for a while, and wait for a while." Xue Yihou was on the side and spoke comfortingly.

Qian Qianqian had no choice but to put up with this face temporarily, according to Xiao Mohan's instructions, she deliberately swayed back and forth in the house every day, so that everyone could see her face.

The subordinates in the general's mansion all obeyed Wu Shun's orders, did not show any horses, and were not surprised at all by Qian Qianqian's current appearance, and no one mentioned Qian Qianqian's original appearance.

Three days later, Ouyang Kun really came, and asked his entourage to carry a lot of congratulatory gifts, and kept saying that he was going to congratulate Xiao Mohan on his upcoming marriage.

Xiao Mohan also gave Ouyang Kun enough face, and went out to greet him in person, talking and laughing with Ouyang Kun all the way, without a cold face at all.

At present, Ouyang Kun is covering the sky with one hand in the court, although Xiao Mohan and he have been secretly monitoring each other, but after all, they have not clearly torn their faces, so both of them are pretending to be and doing a trick.

"General Xiao, I heard that Miss Qian is in your mansion right now, and what she did in Lianzhou has spread now, not only the people outside, but even I admire it very much, can you invite her out to see her?"

Ouyang Kun put down the tea cup in his hand, and finally couldn't help it, he had secretly sent someone to the General's Mansion to investigate, but the General's Mansion was too heavily guarded, and his people couldn't enter the inner house at all, and they couldn't get anything from the mouths of those subordinates, so the matter had been put on hold like this.

"Miss Qian is just a country woman, she looks vulgar, she can't be elegant, but the adult is a dignified left minister, doesn't seeing her stain the eyes of adults?"

Xiao Mohan didn't agree immediately, since Ouyang Kun came in, he and Ouyang Kun have been testing each other, if he agrees to this matter happily, Ouyang Kun will definitely be suspicious.

"If you look at a woman, you can't just look at her appearance, General Xiao, shouldn't I be so superficial, I only care about the woman's appearance, and I can't see anything else."

Ouyang Kun remained silent, glanced at Xiao Mohan, and had no intention of giving up.

"Naturally not, since the adults don't want to see her, then I won't say more, come here, bring Miss Qian over."

Xiao Mohan lifted his thin lips lightly, deliberately raised his voice, and gave an order, and the subordinates who were waiting on the side immediately complied.

When Qian Qianqian learned about this, she was surprised and thought it was funny, she went to see Ouyang Kun with such a face, I don't know if Ouyang Kun will be frightened by her, and then doubt her subordinates.

Xue Yi led Qian Qianqian, went straight to the front hall, and walked around the corner, Qian Qianqian couldn't help but stop, raised her hand to straighten the clothes on her body, lowered her head, and deliberately pretended to have never seen the world, cowering, making people not like it at all.

"Ahh

When she raised her foot and crossed the threshold, Qian Qianqian suddenly fell forward and fell in front of Xiao Mohan and Ouyang Kun, her every move was very clumsy and rude.

"Oh, Miss Qian, slow down." Xue Yi hurriedly ran up, picked up Qian Qianqian from the ground, and with a concerned face, Xiao Mohan, who was sitting in front, took a sip of tea, and a smile appeared on his lips without a trace.

Qian Qianqian rubbed several times before she finally got up, her clothes were wrinkled, and her combed bun was a little loose, looking very embarrassed, she was a stupid girl who had never seen the world.

Ouyang Kun looked at Qian Qianqian's every move, and his heart was full of suspicions, he had sent someone to arrest Qian Qianqian before, although he had never succeeded, but the news that came back was that Qian Qianqian was beautiful and pretty, and her demeanor was calm and generous, and she definitely shouldn't be the ugly girl in front of her.

"People's girl Qian Qianqian, I have seen the general."

Qian Qianqian bowed awkwardly to Xiao Mohan, and when she looked at Ouyang Kun, her face was full of doubts and a little scared, she had never seen Ouyang Kun, so she deliberately pretended to be panicked.

"Excuse me." Xiao Mohan held back the smile in his heart, and said lightly, Qian Qianqian got up at this time, stood not far away with her head down, folded her hands in front of her lower abdomen, and bit her lower lip tightly, not even daring to come out.

"This is Zuo Xiang, Lord Ouyang." Xiao Mohan introduced lightly, and Qian Qianqian immediately looked at Ouyang Kun and leaned over to salute Ouyang Kun.

"Miss Qian, get up, don't be polite." Although Ouyang Kun was surprised in his heart, he still didn't show anything on his face, and kept looking at Qian Qianqian quietly.

Qian Qianqian pondered in her heart, she didn't expect Ouyang Kun to be so young, looking at the same age as Xiao Mohan, sitting in the position of the left minister at such a young age, the means must be comparable to ordinary people.

"Miss Qian, the last time you went back to the frontier to fight, you risked your life and personally escorted the grain to the frontier, which relieved the urgent need of the general and even our Xiao State.

With a smile on his face, Ouyang Kun looked Qian Qianqian up and down, deliberately saying this kind of thing to test it.

"Your Excellency has won the prize." Qian Qianqian was very restrained, lowering her head and not daring to look at Ouyang Kun, she was even worse than the subordinates of the General's Mansion.

"Why is the girl so reserved? It's not at all like having the guts to escort grain to the frontier. ”

Ouyang Kun glanced at Xiao Mohan without a trace, his eyes were full of suspicion, although he didn't say it explicitly, but everyone could hear that he was questioning Qian Qianqian's identity.

"Minnu, Minnu was originally just a country girl, she had never been to the capital, and she didn't expect to see Lord Zuo Xiang in this life, so she didn't dare to raise her head and talk to adults."

Qian Qianqian said so much that she leaned over slightly, her face turned pale, and a layer of sweat appeared on her forehead, as if she was extremely nervous.

"General Xiao, are you sure this is Miss Qian?" Ouyang Kun looked incredulous, staring at Xiao Mohan's eyes, as if he wanted to find some clues from them, but Xiao Mohan's face did not change.
