Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 196 Repentance

Song Jue's current year has been pretty good so far. At the palace banquet on the night of the New Year's Eve, all the civil and military officials were amicable and lively. The civil officials did not deliberately find fault, and the military officials did not turn cold. Face, this made Song Jue very satisfied, and felt that it was a good omen, indicating that the new year would go smoothly.

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Song Jue got up early, and together with his soon-to-be-married imperial sister, paid New Year's greetings to the Empress Dowager, and received a lot of rewards. Accompanied by the commander, you can go out of the palace for a stroll, and you can go to the temple fair to have fun.However, you have to come back before dinner, otherwise, you will punish the commander.

Song Jue readily agreed, went back to the palace and changed her clothes, dragged Bai Meng and ran out of the palace, with the commander in chief and two or four shadows following, not even a bodyguard or servant.

The temple fair in Xijing is much more lively than the temple fair in Jiaping Guancheng. There are all kinds of food, drink and entertainment. Almost all the shops have arranged their own stalls at the temple fair. In addition, there are some individual stalls. Many of them came from the villages and towns around Xijing City.The Bingma Division, the Forbidden Army, and the Patrol Battalion have sent additional manpower to each temple fair. In addition to maintaining law and order, they also prevent people from taking the opportunity to cause trouble. After all, there are more foreigners in the city to attend the princess wedding. Who knows how safe these people are? what kind of heart.

Song Jue met Yelunan and Qi Zhifeng at the temple fair who came to feel the customs of Daxia. One was holding several oil paper bags in his hand and had a faint smile on his face. Putting it in the mouths of people around you is probably a good thing to share with everyone.

Yelunan and Qi Zhifeng were not surprised when they saw Song Jue and Bai Meng. They already knew that the emperor of Daxia was a fun person. Sometimes, they sneaked out of the palace alone, which is a bit similar to their little Liao king. Their king is not a worry-free child. If they can get to know Song Jue, the two of them should have a good chance. topic of conversation.

The so-called meeting is worse than meeting by chance. Since you have met, you can't pretend you didn't see it. It's also very good for everyone to sit together and chat and drink tea.

To be on the safe side, Song Jue asked Yelunan and Qi Zhifeng to go to the teahouse he frequented, not far from the place they met, just two steps away.

Xia and Liao had a very friendly conversation in the teahouse. Song Jue had a good first impression of Yelunan. He felt that if he became the king of Liao, the situation in Liao might be better than it is now.

But this idea, he only revealed it to the commander-in-chief on the second day of the new year, when Bai Meng entered the palace to pay his respects.

"Your Majesty, your idea is unrealistic. If the Little Liao King is kicked out, the person in charge will definitely not be Yelunan, nor Yeluertu's son Yelulan, but someone from the same line as the Little Liao King. In this way, Yeluertu and his faction will not be ashamed of anything they do.” Bai Meng shook his head, “Whether it is Yeluertu or this Yeluernan, what they want is real power, not What's more, if Yelunan becomes the king of Liao, what will happen to his Qi Zhifeng?"

"Hey, Xiao Mengmeng, you're on the right track." Song Jue handed the puff pastry to Baimeng, "According to my observation yesterday, Yelunan Qi Zhifeng is sincere, you see he looks at Qi Zhifeng That look of Zhifeng, tsk tsk tsk, it's so sweet that people get tired of it. At the beginning, when Xiaocha told me about the two of them, I didn't believe it, but seeing it now, it's really enviable!"

"What is there to envy?" Bai Meng picked up the spoon and looked at Song Jue with disgust, "If you were more courageous, you wouldn't be envious of others now. You said, you were also a daring thief when you were young. Dare to do anything, get bigger and bigger, why is your courage getting smaller and smaller?"

"It has nothing to do with courage, you don't understand!"

"Is there anything you don't understand!" Bai Meng took a mouthful of crispy cheese, "The emperor made you like this, and there is no one before or since. If you like someone, you can neither say it nor express it. You can hide it in your heart, don't you feel aggrieved?"

"What's there to be aggrieved about?" Song Jue rolled his big eyes, "Do you think everyone is like you, like a bandit, snatching someone home when you see someone?" He lay on the dragon case On the bed, she looked at Bai Meng with a smirk on her face, "Hey, Xiao Mengmeng, don't you like my imperial sister, do you dare to play a scene of robbing the bride when you get married?"

"Don't think that you are the emperor, no one dares to beat you if you talk nonsense! I don't like your tricks, if you make me anxious, I will still beat you!" Bai Meng's face turned red, "Princess I have my own sweetheart, I... I..."

"Tsk tsk tsk, you're the one who still has the face to criticize me!" Song Jue stood up, went to sit next to Bai Meng, and poked his arm, "Hey, what I said is true, did you This plan?"

"No, in a few days, the princess will get married. What do you want to tell me now?" Bai Meng finished eating the crispy cheese, threw the bowl aside, folded her arms, and frowned at Song Jue , "You... want to regret the marriage? Did you hear something? That Zhao Yinhe has bad conduct? Or did he do something shameful behind the princess's back?"

"I don't know for the time being. I asked someone to investigate. But since the day their marriage was confirmed, a steady stream of news has reached my ears. It's all about Zhao Yinhe's unbearable news. I can't I want to guarantee the authenticity of these news, so I can only investigate secretly. But judging from the current situation, I haven't found anything bad about him. But I'm worried for no reason, because I just don't like that guy for no reason. "

"It's not just that you don't like him, do you? None of the young masters and young masters in the Prince's Mansion in Xijing can take a fancy to you, right?"

"Those who know me, Xiao Mengmeng also." Song Jue sighed, "These three children in Prince Yihe's Mansion, except for the eldest son Zhao Jinhe, who is still reliable, none of the remaining two can be successful. Great talent. A dude with high eyesight and low abilities, and a weak scholar who is stupid in reading, tell me, how can I rest assured that I will marry the princess into their house?"

"The two second sons, what do they want to become? If the two of them are capable, the life of the eldest son will be difficult. The old prince is doing his best to cultivate the eldest son and raise the two second sons for the sake of family harmony." Bai Bai Meng Pai patted Song Jue, "Since you didn't want to, why did you agree? Just because the princess likes it?" Bai Meng shook her head disapprovingly, "You can't live a lifetime by liking."

"Wouldn't it be easier for her to marry someone she likes?"

"There is no such statement. If she gets married and finds that everything is completely different from what she thought, she will not be able to accept it!" Bai Meng paused for a while, and frowned slightly, "According to what you said before, if Zhao Yin and his appearance are inconsistent If so, we should have discovered it long ago. There are many shadows in Xijing City, and after the date of the wedding is set, you also sent many people to watch Zhao Yinhe, so we should be able to find some clues, right?"

"His feelings for my sister are true. He really likes my sister, but..." Song Jue leaned on Bai Meng's body and sighed heavily, "He loves himself more. If something threatens his interests or name, he will definitely protect himself and give up everyone, including my sister."

"Is there any basis for your statement?" Bai Meng adjusted her posture to make Song Jue more comfortable, "Do you have any conclusive evidence?"

"He said when he was drinking with Changning County that he married my sister. Apart from liking her, he also had another purpose, which was to move out of the house."

"This is to separate from Prince Yihe's mansion!" Bai Meng frowned slightly, "Will the old prince agree?"

"Shadow came back and said that his attitude was very firm. I think he must have a way to make the old prince nod." Song Jue stood up, carried the plate with fruit from the dragon case, and handed Bai Meng an orange, " After hearing this, I became even more worried. Once that girl likes someone, she will throw herself on that person with all her heart. If there is any conflict between them in the future, I think this girl must be the one who gets hurt, not Zhao Silver and."

"Have you told the empress dowager what you think? You must know that the empress dowager loves the princess very much. If Zhao Yinhe really has a problem, we didn't realize that it would cause the princess' feelings to be frustrated. The empress dowager's anger will be directed at We came."

"I know, so I've been looking into it all the time, but I haven't made any progress!"

"I said, big brother, today is the second day of junior high school, and the fifth day of junior high school is the day of the big wedding. You haven't made any progress at all. Why should we regret the marriage? There must be conclusive evidence to prove that Zhao Yinhe is not a thing, and This evidence has to be refuted by Prince Yihe's mansion. Are you sure you can investigate clearly before the wedding? If you can't find out, the princess will still marry. "

"So, let me ask you, do you dare to snatch the marriage?" Song Jue rolled her eyes, "Even if my investigation doesn't make any progress, if you dare, you can buy me some time, right? We are brothers after all, You have to help me!"

"How did you come up with such a bad idea?" Bai Meng was annoyed by Song Jue, "It means that I don't care about you and put it on others, so it's no wonder they are willing to take care of you!"

"Time is running out. I have nothing to do. I have no other ideas except snatching a marriage."

At this moment, the little servant ran in and knelt down to salute Song Jue and Bai Meng.

"His Majesty, the Empress Dowager invites you to go."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

"I don't know this servant, it seems to be related to the princess's marriage."

"Xiao Mengmeng!" Song Jue stood up and patted her clothes, "Let's go, maybe this is a turning point!"
