Chapter 618 Sisters reunited
Before she even entered the door, she heard scolding in the room. Princess Pengcheng raised her eyebrows, but she didn't feel surprised at all.
According to the maids assigned to serve her, this down-and-out empress had too many things to do. Not only did she boss her servants around, but she was also picky about food, accommodation, and clothing. It was really difficult to take care of her.
Princess Pengcheng sneered in her heart. Even though she was in such a state of poverty, she still didn't forget to be poor and meticulous. She looked sincere and frightened.
"Which of you has angered the queen with your clumsiness?"
She stepped across the threshold, looked around at the people waiting in the room, and passed by Qingzhu who was kneeling on her knees.
When Liang Huan saw the visitor, she softened her tone and said, "The princess has misunderstood. It has nothing to do with them. It's because I, the maid, am not decent." Then he sighed: "Why is the princess here?"
Princess Pengcheng's eyebrows became gentle again: "Queen, you are so forgetful. The concubine of King Langya has always wanted to see you. Didn't she agree to meet you today?"
Mentioning this matter, Liang Huan forced a smile: "I remember that I was either dressing up or being angry with this maid - now even she dares to be weird and angry with me!"
When Princess Pengcheng heard this, she glanced at the person on the ground: "You are just a servant, no matter how big the problem is, you are worthy of being angry."
She turned back to look at the maid who was following behind her, and said casually: "For these days, you can take the place of this maid and stay to serve the queen. Remember, you must not neglect her, otherwise I will not let you go lightly if I find out."
< br>
The maid accepted the order, bowed her head, and then faced Liang Huan respectfully: "Your Majesty, my servant will dress you up."
Princess Pengcheng smiled and walked up to Liang Huan: "Don't think this girl looks stupid, but she is actually very handy."
Liang Huan glanced coldly at the green bamboo on the ground: "If you don't go down, I won't need you to serve me anymore."
Princess Pengcheng winked and ordered Qingzhu to be led outside, while she helped Liang Han sit down in front of the bronze mirror.
It's true to say that this maid was skillful. She quickly helped Liang Huan style her hair and put on makeup.
When the group of people went out again, they were talking and laughing again, and no longer showed any signs of sullenness.

Before they even got close, they saw several people waiting in the small pavilion by the lotus pond. The most conspicuous one, wearing a morning glory purple dress and plump and beautifully decorated, must be the concubine of King Langya.
Liang Huan did not recognize this concubine and had never met her. However, she had learned about it when she was in Jinye. It was said that she was from a branch of the Lu family.
Liang Huan remained calm on her face, watching from a distance until her eyes moved to the side and saw a woman wearing coarse linen clothes with her hair simply pulled back. Her eyes widened suddenly and her face changed color instantly.
Princess Pengcheng didn't notice, she just held her hand and walked straight to the pavilion, smiling as she walked: "We were delayed for a while, she must be impatient."
Liang Huan was pulled by Princess Pengcheng and her steps were a little shaky. She stared at the woman blankly. She had previously guessed that she might just look similar, but now that she was getting closer, she was so shocked that she couldn't say anything.
The sunshine at this hour is quite warm, but it is far less than the coolness brought by the autumn wind.
Liang Huan looked at the woman in front of him who was bowing respectfully in disbelief, and could no longer hide the shock in his heart.
"Ah... Jiao?"
She stepped forward in two steps and grabbed Liang Jiao's wrist: "It's really you, you, you're not dead?"
"This is -" Princess Pengcheng looked at the side concubine of King Langya in confusion: "What... is going on?"
Without waiting for Princess Langya's concubine to explain, Liang Jiao gently brushed away the hand holding her, turned slightly to the side, and saluted Princess Pengcheng again.
"Liang Jiao, a commoner woman, pays homage to the princess."
Liang Huan's feet were rooted to the spot, standing there in a daze, not caring about Liang Jiao's disrespect at all. Princess Pengcheng was really surprised when she heard Liang Jiao's name. She looked first at Liang Huan and then at the man in Jingchai's cloth coat. She frowned slightly: "Are you really that Liang Jiao? The queen's sister from the same clan?"< br>
Liang Jiao lowered her eyebrows and said lightly: "Yes."
Princess Pengcheng looked complicated and her mood was even more complicated.
Speaking of Liang Jiao, I'm afraid there is no one in Yecheng of Jin who doesn't know about her.
If we were able to establish friendship with her in the early years, now a lowly sinner actually dares to come to her mansion?
I felt disdainful, disgusted, and even a little angry.
I really don’t understand what this concubine of King Langya is up to. Why didn’t she inform herself in advance and bring such a person here?
What's more, who doesn't know that it was Liang Jiao who killed Emperor Wenxuan and the Queen's only Princess Changle?
What kind of peace of mind is this?
"Concubine..."
Princess Pengcheng had an angry look in her eyes.
The concubine of King Langya seemed to have disappeared and asked cautiously: "Queen, look, is she the sister of your same clan?"
Liang Jiao raised her hands to her eyebrows and knelt down in front of Liang Huan: "A commoner woman knows that she is a sinner, and she never dares to expect to be married to you. She is willing to serve you as a slave and serve you to atone for the wrong things she did that day. , I just ask you to give me a place to stay..."
As he spoke, he banged his head and kowtowed.
In the midst of this kowtow, the concubine of King Langya said softly: "It's a coincidence that I was about to go out that day, but someone rushed up to me. I only thought he was a refugee who had just come to Pingwu, but who would have thought that he was actually a refugee who just came to Pingwu?" ——I didn’t want to meddle in other people’s business, so I ignored her and sent her away with some money. Unexpectedly, she often knelt at the door and couldn’t afford it. She knelt for several days in a row. I was afraid that someone would die, and I missed her again. It seems pitiful to be alone. Alas, I couldn't help but begged her again and again, so I thought of bringing her with me when I came today."
After saying that, he bowed to Liang Han and Princess Pengcheng to apologize, and then turned to Liang Han and said, "I guess she heard that you were in Pingwu and came here to join you, right?"
Liang Huan slowly calmed down, spared the courtesy of King Langya's concubine, and stopped Liang Jiao from continuing to kowtow.
The bricks and stones are hard, and the skin on his forehead, which is not fair, has been bruised.
Liang Jiao used to be a delicate peony flower, but now she looks only rough and haggard, with an age and fatigue that does not belong to her age in her eyebrows...
Liang Huan suppressed the turbulent emotions in her heart and raised her eyebrows to look at Princess Pengcheng who looked unhappy.
"I would rather be a peace dog than a person in troubled times. In any case, she is also my sister. The world is difficult now. She must have suffered a lot while living outside. I know that I have disturbed you by staying here, but now She came to seek refuge with me, and I couldn't bear to refuse. I also asked the princess to allow her to stay. As for King Pengcheng, I will personally explain the situation. "
Princess Pengcheng couldn't help but be surprised to see Liang Huan being so kind and even lowering her attitude. She also heard that she wanted to find Gao Lan. She guessed that for such a trivial matter, he could just raise one more servant. Will not refuse.
Since Gao Lan doesn't refuse, what's the use of refusing?
Although Princess Pengcheng was reluctant in her heart, she still forced a smile on her face: "The queen has said so, how can I not agree?"
He turned around and ordered someone to take Liang Jiao down to freshen up and change clothes.
Liang Huan glanced at Liang Jiao who left with her maid, thoughtfully.
As soon as Liang Jiao left, the three of them sat down and chatted over tea, something was a little different than expected.
When Liang Huan returned to her residence, Liang Jiao changed into clean clothes and sat in the house.
Liang Huan slowly walked towards her: "Ah Jiao, how did you come to Pingwu from Pingtang? Wang Tingyue...where did you bury him?"
