Merchant's daughter is not a concubine

Chapter 319
Song Zhuo went all the way into the palace, and immediately asked the eunuch to report to Emperor Yuande, saying that he wanted to apologize for being late.

Emperor Yuande raised his half-white eyebrows, waved his hand, and told him to go see Empress Dowager Jingren first.

The eunuch immediately ran to tell Song Zhuo that Song Zhuo had known this earlier, and had never stopped walking all the way to Qingyuan Palace.

Ever since Song Zhuo entered the palace gate, there were eunuchs reporting to Empress Dowager Jingren every once in a while.

Empress Dowager Jingren heard Song Zhuo coming all the way, she stood up anxiously, and was supported by Nanny Qiu to the gate.

Suddenly, a handsome man walked up the steps in twos and threes.

Compared with the slightly youthful face three years ago, he is a bit more heroic.Traveling outside for these years did not erase the slightest nobility in him, but added a kind of unrestrained and unrestrained aura.

Song Xian and Song Ren only met Song Zhuo once, and it was also the first time they came to Beijing, which was the time when Princess Qianchen passed away.At that time, Song Zhuocai was just a five-year-old milk baby, and Song Xian was ten years old.

Now 15 years have passed, Song Xian has forgotten what Song Zhuo looked like at that time, and the only impression left in his memory is that this younger brother is very beautiful.

Three years ago, Song Xian and Song Ren came to Beijing again, following Prince Chen to attend Song Zhuo's wedding.Because of certain things, Song Xian and Song Ren were stranded outside Beijing.

Unexpectedly, Song Zhuo was making a big death, and lost his position as the son of the world.Excited and pleasantly surprised, Song Xian and Song Ren rushed to the capital, but Song Zhuo had long since disappeared.

They have long known that Song Zhuo looks good, but they didn't expect it to be so good!
Especially Song Xian, who was stunned by Song Zhuo's magnificence.This familiar aura made him feel a strange sense of fear.

"Grandson has met the imperial grandmother." Song Zhuo knelt down as soon as he lowered his hem.

When he was about to kowtow, Empress Dowager Jingren had already pulled him up, hugging him and crying: "You unfilial son, how could you leave without saying a word!"

"Grandmother, hurry up and talk." Song Ren said with a smile.Looking at Song Zhuo again: "Third brother."

Song Zhuo nodded: "Big Brother, Second Brother."

"Quick, come in!" Empress Dowager Jingren held Song Zhuo's hand tightly, as if she was afraid that Song Zhuo would disappear if she didn't hold on tighter.

into the house.Mother Qiu spread the futon on the ground, Song Zhuo knelt down and gave three big gifts to Empress Dowager Jingren.

"Get up." Empress Dowager Jingren raised her hand with wet eyes.

Before Song Zhuo got up, Song Ren said: "Third brother, you must have learned a lot after traveling abroad for three years. Why don't you tell us brothers to see and see. The emperor's grandmother will also want to hear about your past few years. what life is."

Song Xian and Song Ren thought of Song Zhuozuo's great death three years ago, and they did not hesitate to resign from the Yasukuni government, which was then famous and powerful at that time, and married a small merchant girl after abandoning the position of son.

I heard that the little business girl ran away with a foreign prince.Song Zhuo obviously had to work hard to get it back, so it is likely that he has been entangled with the small business girl for the past three years.

Song Ren said this on purpose to humiliate Song Zhuo and make Empress Dowager Jingren even more disappointed with Song Zhuo.

However, Empress Dowager Jingren did not show any disappointment towards Song Zhuo, but swept over coldly and angrily: "Okay, as soon as Zhuo'er came back, I rushed into the palace. I am very tired, so what can I say! You two, first Step back! I really want to see you, go out and travel by yourself!"

Song Ren and Song Xian's faces froze for a moment, so they could only salute and leave angrily.

Empress Dowager Jingren looked at the direction in which the two disappeared, and snorted angrily.How could she let others see Song Zhuo's jokes.

Empress Dowager Jingren looked at Song Zhuo again, her eyes became kind and gentle: "Get up quickly, you don't need to kneel anymore."

"Grandmother, I..."

"The Ai family knows." Empress Dowager Jingren immediately interrupted him: "Let's make him a side concubine!"

Song Zhuojun's face froze, and he said resolutely: "No, Grandmother, I want to marry her as my wife."

"Song Zhuo!" Empress Dowager Jingren was furious, but seeing the grandson she had missed for three years, her heart softened again, and she said softly: "This is already the biggest concession of the Ai family, the first wife, it is impossible! And what is she with that?" Prince Tianshui has been around, for such an unchaste and unclean woman, it is the utmost benevolence for the Ai family to allow her to enter the house."

"She didn't. Shui Jingnian is just an elder brother to her." Song Zhuo said: "When she left, she was disfigured. It was only recently that her face was cured with medicine. Back then, Shui Jingnian took her away to repay her life-saving grace , take her for treatment. If you don’t believe me, you can go to Tianshui to inquire.”

Men are all interested in sex, if Ning Qing is disfigured, then Shui Jingnian is innocent.Empress Dowager Jingren thought so.But even so, she would never agree to Song Zhuo marrying Ning Qing!

Low birth, no help!Bad reputation too!Song Zhuo was simply humiliated!

"Then, grandson, please leave now. If you don't get angry, grandson will greet you. If you still can't accept it, grandson will never hinder your eyes again."

"What do you mean?" Empress Dowager Jingren was shocked.

"I have only one meaning, to marry her as my wife." Song Zhuo said: "I brought her back, I just hope you agree, if you don't agree, I will marry. If you can't tolerate it, I will not leave Beijing with her It's in your eyes. Don't worry or miss me, because I'm not hurt, I'm not dead, I'm alive and well. It's just that I'm not by your side."

"You!" Empress Dowager Jingren stared at Song Zhuo in shock and anger.Because she knew that Song Zhuo was telling the truth! "Don't you want to be the son of the world? Don't you want to lose all your achievements? Don't you want to lose all your glory?"

"Isn't it a long time ago?" Song Zhuo said: "Three years ago, I was not angry for a while, I was serious."

Empress Dowager Jingren burst into tears: "Sin! Sin! You're so dazed! For a woman, Zhuo'er, you don't even want the emperor's grandmother?"

"It's not that the grandson doesn't want the emperor's grandmother, but that the emperor's grandmother doesn't want her grandson!" Song Zhuo said: "The emperor's grandmother always said that she loves me. Since she loves me, why does she force me to do things I don't want?"

"Aijia is for your own good!" Empress Dowager Jingren was indignant.

"You're not me, so how do you know what I want?" Song Zhuo said: "For me, fame and wealth are not as important as her. You can also say that I have no ambitions and do not want to make progress. The color makes the mind faint. But people don't have to be high and powerful to be happy. Just like Tao Gong under the eastern fence picking chrysanthemums, can it be said that he has no ambitions?"

Empress Dowager Jingren choked.

"High position and weight have the glory of high position and weight, but if you are not careful, you will wipe out the whole family. Some people choose to play on the tip of the knife, and some choose to live a mediocre life. To put it bluntly, it is just a life choice and attitude. I'm not going to commit crimes, nor to seek rebellion. I just want to marry a woman! If she is not worthy of me, then I will give up everything to be worthy of her."

Empress Dowager Jingren was so choked that she could not speak, but she still refused to agree: "Anyway, no! You must be filial!"

"If I'm not filial, then the emperor's grandmother is not kind."

"You!" Empress Dowager Jingren was furious.

"Grandson is going to see Uncle Huang, please leave first." Song Zhuo kowtowed, then turned and left.

Empress Dowager Jingren looked at his background, her slightly wrinkled face was tense, and her eyes were extremely gloomy.

Mother Qiu, Li De and other palace maids and eunuchs all spoke loudly and did not dare to breathe.Because they all felt it, Song Zhuo was serious.If she really refuses to marry, she will definitely take Ning Qing away.

Empress Dowager Jingren thought about it, and then wiped away tears: "It's really a crime, how could it be like this! That bitch, why didn't he die outside! It's fine if he falls ill and dies now!"

Mother Qiu was taken aback: "Your Majesty, think twice, don't be impulsive! Slaves... well, to say something presumptuous, the Son is serious. Your Majesty knows Shizi's character best. From childhood to adulthood, as long as you believe in things, Ten oxen can't be pulled back."

"You know, don't the Ai family know?" Mrs. Jingren cried more and more sadly.It is because I know that it makes me sadder.

"Now, everyone is looking forward to him marrying that little business girl, but I can't find a capable wife!" said Mother Qiu.

"So, he must not be allowed to marry!" said Empress Dowager Jingren.

The corner of Qiu Momo's mouth twitched, and she said cautiously: "The servant wants to say that only the empress is the only one who objects now. If the little business girl suffers any damage, the son will be blamed on the empress."

This is to persuade the Empress Dowager not to change her mind.

Empress Dowager Jingren's heart ached from the anger of Nanny Qiu!
"Now, don't let him marry, the son will run away with the little merchant girl, and everyone will be very happy." Qiu Nanny said.

"Ah bah, who is happy?"

"At least the prince and concubine Guan will be very happy." Qiu Nanny said.

"Song Chen, that rebellious son who favors his concubine and destroys his son!" Empress Dowager Jingren was so angry that her nose was crooked.

Mother Qiu continued: "Don't tell me how long you will be away, even if you are angry with your empress for a while, it's not worth it! At the end of the year, the prince will come back to seal the eldest son. If His Highness runs away again, then the entire Chen Palace will be destroyed. He gave it up."

Empress Dowager Jingren beat her chest: "Then what do you say?"

"I can only... agree." Qiu Nanny said.

"Don't even think about it!" Empress Dowager Jingren couldn't accept the thought that her proudest and most honored grandson would marry a small merchant girl.

"I don't agree, no matter what, it's your mother who is at a disadvantage."

"Hmph, where does the Ai family suffer! It's Song Zhuo himself who suffers!"

"I'm afraid His Highness won't feel that you are at a disadvantage, but you will feel that you are at a disadvantage instead."

Empress Dowager Jingren choked again.

"Besides, Your Highness is really filial." Mother Qiu sighed: "Your Majesty, since I was a child, Your Highness has never listened to you. If you let him know, he will. Others laugh at him secretly, but they are afraid that Your Majesty will be sad. , His Highness has never disobeyed. Six years ago, the empress asked His Highness to agree to marry Cheng Yuhua, and then something like that happened, and if nothing happened, His Highness would be killed. But I believe that His Highness will not blame the Empress."

Empress Dowager Jingren fell silent.

"Now, just listen to him once, as if you were giving him a lovely toy."

The word "toy" made Empress Dowager Jingren's heart tremble, and she felt that this was a reward for Song Zhuo.But Song Zhuo is not someone, not a group of servants trying to please her, nor a flattering servant, but her most beloved grandson!
She doesn't need Song Zhuo's flattery or flattery, she thinks he has the best things in the world.

But he doesn't want the best thing in the world, he just wants what he likes.

"Ma'am, cakes." Li De suddenly came in with a box of cakes.

It looks ruddy and beautiful, but I don't know what it is.Empress Dowager Jingren didn't order pastries, but she was really hungry, and felt that Li De was considerate, so she picked up a piece and ate it.

As soon as he entered it, he frowned, spat it out, and said angrily, "I have been with the Ai family all my life, don't you know that the Ai family doesn't eat jujubes!"

Li De's face turned pale, and he knelt down with a plop, sweating coldly: "Yes...it was sent by His Highness. The servant didn't know what it was, so he thought it was sent by His Highness... When His Highness sent it, he only said that it was beneficial." Physical and mental health."

Empress Dowager Jingren froze for a moment.She naturally understood the meaning of the jujube cake.

Dates are a woman's holy product for skin care, but she hates the smell of dates.Never had it.The imperial physician also advised her to eat more, but she just didn't like it.

Song Zhuo's meaning is obvious, no matter how good something is, if you don't like it, it's hard to swallow.That's how he feels now.

Empress Dowager Jingren kept a sullen face and said nothing.Mother Qiu didn't dare to speak any more, she just stood aside, showing off the almond milk she ate recently.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness is here again." Li De said timidly.

Empress Dowager Jingren's face tensed again, and when she saw Song Zhuo striding forward, Empress Dowager Jingren snorted coldly: "It's not that you got lost, what are you doing here?"

"Before leaving, I have to say goodbye to the emperor's grandmother." Song Zhuo said.

As soon as she heard the word farewell, Empress Dowager Jingren was so angry that her heart ached: "You are trying to force Aijia to death."

Song Zhuo glanced at her: "The emperor's grandmother lived a long life. Because I am not unfilial, I will not do evil things. I will not hurt myself and make the emperor's grandmother sad. The emperor's grandmother doesn't like it, so I took her to live in the city. outside."

"You came out of the golden nest, how did you live?"

"Anyway, I've already learned how to wash and cook. I won't starve to death, nor will I starve my wife to death."

Empress Dowager Jingren was so angry that she fell backwards.

"Qingqing can also do business. If you don't make it big, just open a shop, I won't starve to death."

This is the posture of being a bad face!

Empress Dowager Jingren wanted to vomit blood.Mother Qiu almost lost her sight.This is to let Ning Qing earn money to support his family outside, while he washes, cooks and takes care of his children at home!
Empress Dowager Jingren couldn't take it anymore! "Okay! Aijia agrees! Let her roll in tomorrow to learn the distance!"

Song Zhuo was overjoyed, and immediately knelt down and made a big gift to her: "Thank you, Grandmother! Qingqing is very cute, you will definitely like her."

Empress Dowager Jingren was about to foam with anger, she would never like that little bitch to death!
