Chapter 103 I want to be a princess

Song Qinghuan's eyes froze, and he raised his head to look at Song Qingyi calmly, his expression still calm.

The queen is looking for a consort for her?Where did Song Qingyi hear this news from?
Seeing that Song Qinghuan was speechless for a while, Song Qingyi only pretended that she had turned back a round, curled the corners of her lips triumphantly, and looked sideways at her from the corners of her eyes.

Song Qinghuan pretended to be puzzled, and blinked her clear almond eyes, "The Empress is looking for a consort for me? Where did the second imperial sister get the news?"

Seeing her ignorant look, Song Qingyi felt a little pleasure in her heart, "Is there any truth to what the queen mother told me?" The hideous moment just now was put back, and the expression on her face returned to her usual dignity Qingshu.

He flicked his cuffs casually, feeling a little proud in his heart.Fighting with herself, Song Qinghuan is still a little tender after all.

No, Song Qinghuan covered her face with her sleeves, chuckled lightly, and looked at Song Qingyi with crooked eyebrows, "Second sister, stop joking, you haven't recruited a son-in-law yet, so why is it my turn? Seniors and young are orderly, If the empress should worry about it, she should also worry about the marriage of the second imperial sister first."

Song Qingyi's smile froze on his face.

Song Qinghuan's words undoubtedly hit her weakness.

She is more than eighteen now, and she has already reached the age suitable for marriage, but she is arrogant and has not found a suitable candidate for a son-in-law, so it has been delayed until today.

A few days ago, she finally found someone she likes, and fell in love with Shen Chuhan, Prime Minister of Liang Country, but Prime Minister Shen has an unusual status, and Song Qingyu just went to Liang Country with his relatives.Although she was unwilling, she still had to admit that the gap between her and Shen Chuhan was really hard to bridge.

The queen also mentioned several times about recruiting a son-in-law for her, both openly and secretly, but she prevaricated them all.It just so happened that during this period of time, my mother had a headache because of the Wei family matter, so the matter was put on hold for the time being.

But what she said just now that the queen is looking after Song Qinghuan's son-in-law is also true.

Turning his eyes, he looked at Song Qinghuan with darker eyes, and said with a smile, "That being said, if there is a suitable candidate, the order of seniority is not that important." Speaking of this, the voice became louder. Fat looked gentle and amiable, and put on a posture of an elder sister, "As long as Wuyang can be happy, what does it matter if you get married before or after me?"

Song Qinghuan thought about it.

Hearing her tone, the queen already has a candidate in her heart?I just don't know why the crooked melon cracked the date?
Thinking of this, he pursed his lips and looked at Song Qingyi with a calm expression, "Oh? I don't know which son is the suitable candidate for the second emperor's sister?"

Song Qingyi's eyes flickered, wondering if she should say it now.Seeing Song Qinghuan's sarcastic eyes that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, he felt angry again.

She thought he was just talking nonsense to fool her?Then let her know that she has no control over her life's event!

The smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more cordial, "Don't worry, Wuyang, the people my mother chose for you are naturally excellent. In the future, you recruited my cousin to be your son-in-law. In terms of seniority, I have to call you Biao sister-in-law." Song Qingyi joked with a smile.

her cousin?
Song Qinghuan frowned, feeling suspicious.

Isn't her cousin Wei Yang dead?
Taiwei Wei Rong had only one son and one daughter, Wei Xuguang and Empress Wei Zhitong, and Wei Yang was Wei Xuguang's only son, so how could he find a cousin at this moment?
She thought so in her heart, so she asked, pretending to be scared, "Second sister confuses me, Mr. Wei was killed, and the murderer hasn't been found yet? Second emperor What is the meaning of this, sister?"

Hearing Song Qinghuan mention Wei Yang's name, Song Qingyi felt unlucky, showing a hint of disgust, feeling as disgusted as swallowing a fly.

Although she didn't witness the tragedy of Wei Yang's death with her own eyes, she once heard a horrified maid from Changle Palace describe it, which left an indelible impression on her, so that she didn't want to hear this name for a long time.

Seeing Song Qinghuan staring at her without blinking, she suppressed the emotion in her eyes, smiled and said, "Wu Yang misunderstood, what I said was my other cousin."

Song Qinghuan's black pupils were narrow, and she stared at Song Qingyi tightly, "Second Sister Huang really confuses me. Isn't Mr. Wei the only son of the Wei family?"

A trace of unease flashed in Song Qingyi's eyes, "I'm not talking about my eldest uncle's family, but the son of my second uncle's family, named Yi."

Wei Yi?

A cold light flashed in Song Qinghuan's eyes, and he lowered his eyes to think about who this Wei Yi was.

After thinking for a long time, I finally remembered a general impression.

It is true that Mrs. Wei Rong only gave him a son and a daughter, but Wei Rong took several concubines, and I heard that there is also a concubine, who is now only a small Beijing official in Jian'an, and has not yet separated from Wei Xuguang. .

Could it be that the Wei Yi that Song Qingyi was talking about was the son of this concubine?
There was a sneer in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, he was still puzzled, and looked sideways, "Didn't the Wei Taiwei only have Wei Siqing and the empress empress, a son and a daughter? Why did the second imperial sister suddenly appear as a second uncle?" Come?"

Song Qingyi's face was slightly embarrassed, "My second uncle and queen mother were not born of the same mother."

Song Qinghuan suddenly seemed to understand, his face collapsed, and he looked at Song Qingyi coldly, "What? Does the second emperor think that a little bastard's son is a suitable candidate for my son-in-law? The second emperor is a joke. It's bigger."

Song Qingyi hated her teeth itchingly, but she didn't want to talk about etiquette, she still said patiently, "Although my second uncle is not a direct son, cousin Yi is a good-looking person with good conversation, and given time, he will definitely be able to flourish."

Although he said so on his mouth, his heart was beating a small drum.

This was not the Queen Mother's idea in the first place.It's just that after Wei Yang's death, Wei's parents' house was considered dead, and the second house was ready to move, wanting to adopt the eldest brother Wei Yi to the eldest house.

Wei Yang's mother, Wei Zhang, had just lost her beloved son, and she was heartbroken. Suddenly she heard that she wanted to adopt Wei Yi, but she didn't understand the wishful thinking Erfang had in mind, so she naturally refused, and even gave Wei Xuguang a few Fang's concubine, in order to give birth to a son.

And the second room finally got such a chance to make a comeback, of course, he was not willing to give up easily, and kept holding on to the big room without a successor, and even made a fuss in front of the queen.

The queen knew that this meeting was a special period, countless eyes were staring at the Wei family, and the emperor was also dissatisfied with the Wei family. At this time, the Wei family should not be the first to start internal strife.He had no choice but to soothe the second room's emotions with good words, let them calm down first, and promised to spend more time on Wei Yi's marriage.

Where is the second room easy to talk to?Seeing an opportunity to take advantage of, the lion opened his mouth and said that he wanted to marry Song Qingyi for Wei Yi.The queen was so angry that her face turned pale at the time, but when she saw Erfang's beggar's face, she knew that they were going to make a big fuss about it. Although she hated it, she also knew that at this time they must not be forced, so they had to speak up Feel free to discuss with them.

The second room also understood that Song Qingyi's status was noble, and Wei Yi's identity was indeed a little wishful thinking. With a roll of his eyes, he focused on Song Qinghuan again.

The queen knew that Song Qinghuan's status in the palace was different now, so she didn't dare to agree rashly.But Erfang insisted on it, determined to be a relative of the emperor, and there was no room for negotiation.The queen had no choice but to temporarily agree to come down and think of a way for them.

Song Qingyi heard about this from the queen, and she didn't intend to talk to Song Qinghuan at first.It's just that when I saw her smug face just now, I was annoyed for a moment, so I accidentally slipped my mouth.

Hearing Song Qingyi's words, Song Qinghuan sneered, and said sarcastically, "Since Second Sister Huang's cousin is so good, why doesn't Second Sister Huang invite him to be her son-in-law herself? He can also get married, right?"

Song Qingyi's face turned pale, and her hands in her sleeves tightened.

Song Qinghuan was telling the truth, but she couldn't find anything to refute for a moment, she was stunned for a moment and then said with little confidence, "Your cousin is looking for you, how can I get in the middle?"

"Really?" The expression in Song Qinghuan's eyes became colder, his smile remained unchanged, but his voice was tinged with frost, "That may disappoint the second emperor sister and empress empress. My marriage is decided by my father, probably It's not the queen's turn to worry about it. If the queen is fine, why don't you make plans for the second sister first."

A word without mercy.

In the past, her marriage might really have been decided by the queen.But today is different from the past, the matter of her recruiting a son-in-law must finally be approved by Emperor Yu.

A mere Wei family's concubine wants to force it to himself. How can there be such a good thing?

Being satirized by her so tightly, Song Qingyi's face suddenly collapsed, and she looked at Song Qinghuan with heavy eyes, "Wuyang, what do you mean?"

Song Qinghuan chuckled, took a few cups of tea and took a sip unhurriedly, "It means literally."

Seeing that the anger was gone, Song Qingyi's intention for coming was also revealed. Song Qinghuan didn't want to entangle her any more, so she stood up and looked at Song Qingyi lazily and said, "Okay, Second Sister Huang, I really can't hold it anymore, so I'm going to make up for it." Got it. Thank you, Second Sister Huang, for coming to see me."

Then, he turned to Shen Xing behind him, "Shen Xing, see off the guests."

Regardless of Song Qingyi's gloomy face that seemed to be dripping ink, she gave a slight salute and walked away with Liuyue lightly.

Leaving Song Qingyi behind to watch her leave the side hall with hatred, Fang stood up abruptly, looked at the painting screen and painting fan, and said bitterly, "What are you still doing here? Go back to the palace!"

*
Ever since Song Qinghuan returned to the palace from Shuiyue Nunnery, the people in the palace soon discovered that the direction of the wind had changed.

Originally, among the three adult princes and three concubines in the palace, apart from Anyang Diji, who was married to the Liang Kingdom, Pingyang Diji was the most favored, followed by the Crown Prince and Eldest Prince, and finally the fifth prince and Wuyang Diji. .

But now, Empress Wuyang's status in the palace skyrocketed.Once the emperor is free, he will either call Wuyang Diji to the Xuanshi Hall for a short talk, or go to the Yaohua Palace to see her in person, and if he gets any rare treasures on weekdays, the first one to get them will naturally be the Yaohua Palace.

Even, because Empress Wuyang got closer to the Fifth Prince Song Xuan, even Emperor Yu's attitude towards the Fifth Prince improved a lot.

This almost shocked the eyes of those who were waiting to see Song Qinghuan's joke.

The reason why Empress Wuyang was punished by Emperor Yu to go to Shuiyue Temple to think about her past, although it was later suppressed, but in the end, the paper could not contain the fire, and it has been spread in the palace for a long time - it is said that Emperor Yu visited Yaohua A maid in the palace who was somewhat similar to Mrs. Qingxuan, Wuyang Emperor Ji was outraged and ran to the Xuanshi Hall to make a big fuss.

Mrs. Qingxuan has always been the villain in Emperor Yu's heart. Although Empress Wuyang is Mrs. Qingxuan's biological daughter, Emperor Yu has ignored her for more than ten years, which shows that this status has not brought her any benefits.

Although Emperor Yu paid more attention to Empress Wuyang in the past few years, it was only treated similarly to Empress Anyang, so it was not much favored.

Of course—

Everything changed after Wu Yang Diji came back from Shuiyue Temple.

Obviously she was sent to Shuiyue Nunnery because she offended Emperor Yu, but why did Emperor Yu treat her so much better after returning?It hurts to treat her like a apple of the eye.

Everyone was puzzled, and this naturally included the Queen and Song Qingyi.Although the two were angry and hated, they had no choice but to secretly send people to watch Song Qinghuan more closely.

The days seemed to pass peacefully for half a month, and it was March in a blink of an eye.

The three-year draft is scheduled for March 28, when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming and the grass is growing and the warbler is flying.Unexpectedly, Emperor Yu announced that he would not choose concubines in this draft, but would choose concubines for the crown prince and the other two princes.As soon as the news came out, all the great families were in an uproar.

For them, sending a family daughter into the palace as a concubine can bring some benefits to the family, but one is that Emperor Yu is old after all, and people who feel a little bit sorry for their own girls are not willing to send their daughters into the palace. The situation in the harem has been settled, and the crown prince is standing again. Even if she really enters the palace and becomes a concubine, there will be no major development.

But marrying princes is different!

The princes are about the same age as the girls to be drafted, and they are of high status, and they are all unmarried.What's more, if she can marry the prince and become the princess, she will very likely become a queen in the future!So as soon as this imperial decree came out, all the big families of the aristocratic families put all their efforts into reporting the list of the most outstanding girls in the family.

And on this day, a special person came to Jian'an City.

Princess He Wanchang, who has been living in Yangzhou, has returned to Jian'an!

Song Ning, Princess Hewanchang, is the daughter of Prince Zhaoming. After the first emperor succeeded to the throne, she was named Princess Princess and bestowed with the word "Hewan".A few years ago, Princess Hewanchang's county horse served as the governor of Yangzhou, and Princess Hewanchang accompanied him to Yangzhou, and he has not returned to the capital for several years.

When she came back this time, anyone with a discerning eye could see her intention at a glance.

Changjun Ma has an official position and has not traveled with him.The one who entered Beijing with her was Princess He Wanchang's only daughter——Lu Zhenzhen.Lu Zhenzhen and Empress Ji were also named princesses and given the title of "Changning".

Now the prince has not yet established a concubine, and the princess Changning is about the same age as the prince.As soon as Emperor Yu's imperial decree was issued to select concubines for the princes, Princess He Wanchang couldn't wait to bring Princess Changning to the capital. The purpose of this was really obvious.

The entry of these two nobles made the already restless families even more nervous.

Princess Hewanchang had a separate mansion in Jian'an granted by the late emperor. After entering the city, she first went to the Princess Chang's mansion in Jian'an City to settle down.After resting for one night, he entered the palace according to the imperial edict the next day.

Song Qinghuan naturally also learned the news.

She thought about it in Shuiyue Nunnery that day, but she still felt that it was wrong to put Xuanying in the palace. If someone found out, it would be difficult for her father to deal with her.So he persuaded Xuanying to let him still live in his previous residence in Jian'an City, and he would send someone to find him if he had something to do.

Although Xuanying was somewhat reluctant, but Shen Chuhan was not there, Song Qinghuan was his master, and after all kinds of entanglements, he had no choice but to agree.

Princess He Wanchang hadn't entered the capital yesterday, so he got the news early and immediately sent someone to inform Song Qinghuan.

The weather was gradually warming up, Song Qinghuan got up early today, had a short rest after breakfast, and then practiced in the yard.

After practicing for a while, Liu Yue pushed open the courtyard door and walked in, saluted Song Qinghuan, "Your Highness, Princess He Wanchang and Princess Changning have already entered the palace."

Song Qinghuan raised his eyebrows with great interest, and nodded slightly, "Understood. Can the Queen go to accompany you?"

Liu Yue nodded, "Not only the Queen has gone, but Concubine Ning Gui has also gone."

Song Qinghuan found it quite funny.

These days, the open and secret struggle between the queen and Concubine Ning has become more and more intense.Basically wherever the queen goes, she can see Concubine Ning Gui.

But it’s no wonder that Zhao Kingdom has not been very peaceful recently. In order to prevent Zhao Kingdom from taking the opportunity to invade, the soldiers guarding the northwest border have not had a good year. For a meritorious official, Emperor Yu has to calm down his emotions in terms of emotion and reason, so these days, the status of Concubine Ning in the palace has risen accordingly.

Idlely replied, "Understood." He continued to practice martial arts.Liuyue didn't say much when she saw this, she still stepped aside.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard.

Because Song Qinghuan wanted to practice in the courtyard, he deliberately sent away the servants and guards. It was still early at this time, and he was a little surprised when he heard someone knocking on the door. He glanced at Liuyue.

Liu Yue understood, stepped forward and asked, "Who?"

A servant's voice came from outside the door, "This servant is the servant of Chengming Palace, and I am here to invite Your Highness by order of the Emperor."

Seeing that Liu Yue was the servant of Chengming Hall, she didn't dare to be negligent, and opened the door to welcome her in.

The servant walked up to Song Qinghuan and bowed, repeating what he said just now.

Song Qinghuan frowned slightly, "Do you know why Father is looking for me?"

"Princess He Wanchang and Princess Changning are entering the palace. Your Majesty, Your Highness, Pingyang Emperor Ji, is here to accompany you." The servant was honest and told everything he knew, and revealed a piece of information to Song Qinghuan. .

Song Qingyi was also called over.

I sneered in my heart, with so many people as companions, Princess He Wanchang and Princess Changning are really embarrassing.

Song Qinghuan had acquaintance with this special Princess Hewanchang a few times, and also met Princess Changning once when she was young.In all fairness, she didn't have a good impression of these two, so she frowned involuntarily when she heard Emperor Yu asked her to come over to accompany her.

It's just that everyone has been sent here, and it's impossible not to go, so he frowned slightly and glanced at Liuyue.

Liu Yue received her wink, understood her heart, pursed her lips and said, "I am sorry for your father-in-law, please go back and report, my highness will go over after changing his clothes."

"No." Xiao Nei waited, bowed and retreated.

When the waiter left, Song Qing sighed happily, looked at Liu Yue and Shen Xing, "Let's go, change my clothes."

Not long after, Song Qinghuan dressed properly, and took Liuyue Shenxing to Chengming Hall.

Now it's spring, the felt curtains in front of the Chengming Hall have been withdrawn, from a distance one can see a few people sitting in the hall, all of them are jeweled, dressed in red and green.As she approached, the maid serving at the door hurriedly bowed to her.

Song Qinghuan nodded in agreement, and led Liuyue Shenxing into the hall.

As soon as he entered the hall, the people in the hall looked over.The emperor, empress and Concubine Ning naturally sat at the top, and the two sitting at the bottom were today's protagonists, Princess He Wanchang and Princess Changning.

Princess He Wanchang is slightly younger than Emperor Yu, wearing a smoky blue dress, with pearls and jade hairpins on her hair, delicate and elegant.With a handsome appearance, it can be seen that she was also a beauty when she was young.It's just that there is a gleam of shrewdness in the eyebrows and eyes, and it is not a character to get along with at first glance.

Sitting next to her was Lu Zhenzhen, Princess Changning.

Lu Zhenzhen has just reached Ji, half a year younger than Song Qinghuan, her facial features have not yet developed, and there is still a hint of childishness in her eyes, but she can also see that she will be a beauty in the future.Today she is wearing a lotus root pink jacket and skirt, with an exquisite eight-treasure hairpin slanted on her head, and a crabapple flower made of colored glaze, which looks cute and jade-like.

People are pretty, but it's a pity...

Song Qinghuan thought in his heart, first bowed to the emperor, empress and Concubine Ning, then looked at Princess He Wanchang and Princess Changning, smiled softly, "I think these two are Aunt Huang and Cousin Changning, right?" .”

Although Princess He Wanchang is only Emperor Yu's cousin, she is of the same clan and is a close relative after all. Song Qinghuan can't be called an imperial aunt too much.She was too lazy to think about it at first, but with Emperor Yu around, it's not easy to appear too indifferent.

Emperor Yu responded with a smile, and said, "Wu Yang has met He Wan a few times before, but I still remember it."

Song Qinghuan pursed her lips and smiled slightly, "The emperor's aunt is so bright and charming, how can I forget it?"

Hearing what she said, Princess He Wanchang withdrew her gaze from looking at Song Qinghuan, and smiled kindly, "This is His Highness the Seventh Prince Wuyang? I haven't seen you for a few years, and His Highness has become more and more beautiful."

After all, she is not Emperor Yu's biological sister. Even though Song Qinghuan respectfully called her an imperial aunt, she did not dare to trust Princess Wanchang, and still referred to her as "Your Highness". Amazement and surprise flashed in her eyes.

She remembered that the last time she saw Wuyang Diji was four years ago, before she went to Yangzhou.At that time, Empress Wuyang was indifferent, she was not favored, and she didn't like to talk too much with people.When we met this time, Yan Yan talked and laughed so generously. It seems that his temperament has really changed a lot.

Calmly withdrew her eyes and looked at Lu Zhenzhen who was at the side, "Zhenzhen, hurry up and greet His Highness the Seventh."

There was a trace of disdain in Lu Zhenzhen's eyes, she turned her round eyes a few times, Fang smiled happily at Song Qing, stood up and gave a blessing, "Zhenzhen has seen Your Highness."

Emperor Yu smiled and said, "We are all a family, so there is no need to be so polite. Chang Ning calls Wu Yang's cousin."

Seeing Emperor Yu's words, Lu Zhenzhen followed suit and called Song Qing Huan "seventh cousin".

After Song Qinghuan took her seat, she sat quietly aside, only listening to a few people chatting, and didn't make much conversation.However, before he could say a few words, he heard the voice of a servant outside the door, "Report to the emperor, the Empress of Pingyang has arrived."

After finishing speaking, Song Qingyi came in with a painting screen and a painting fan.

She has obviously dressed up carefully today, with light powder on her face, a hazy brocade pleated skirt on her body, a double-stemmed begonia and winged jade luan, and a long tassel made of pearls and jade. , without losing elegance and elegance.

Song Qinghuan lightly raised his eyes to look at her, and quickly lowered his eyes again.

On the contrary, Lu Zhenzhen glanced up at her head, and there was a trace of inexplicable emotion flashing in her eyes.

Song Qinghuan greeted the Emperor, Empress and Concubine Ning, and then looked at Princess He Wanchang, with a dignified smile on his face, and just the right amount of enthusiasm, "Greetings to Aunt Huang."

The smile on Princess He Wanchang's face deepened, "I almost didn't recognize His Highness at a glance just now, His Highness has become more and more beautiful, and I really live up to the title of one of the three beauties in Yunqing Continent."

When she praised Song Qinghuan just now, she only called her Peugeot, but now she praises Song Qingyi without hesitation.Song Qinghuan smiled sarcastically, this princess He Wanchang is still as snobbish as before.This time she came here for the position of Crown Princess, so it was inevitable that she would make more friends with Song Qingyi and the queen.

Song Qingyi grew up surrounded by stars, she had heard such compliments a lot, but she didn't take it seriously, she just smiled politely and thanked Princess He Wanchang.

Lu Zhenzhen at the side didn't wait to talk to Princess Wanchang, she got up and greeted her, and took Song Qingyi's hand familiarly, "Sister Pingyang, do you still remember Zhenzhen?"

Song Qingyi glanced at her with a smile, "Of course I remember, Princess Changning has grown a lot taller than when she entered the palace last time, and she really looks like a great beauty."

Lu Zhenzhen smiled brightly when she heard this, with a hint of innocence in her eyes.

Song Qinghuan watched their polite exchanges with cold eyes, and felt more and more amused in his heart, so he just drank the tea in the cup calmly.

Ning Gui also had the mentality of watching a movie.

Since Princess Hewanchang and Princess Changning came here for the prince, she didn't want to be polite. She glanced at the two of them and said unhurriedly, "It's rare for Princess Chang to enter the capital. I don't know if I plan to stay in Beijing this time." How long?"

"I haven't been back for a long time, this time I plan to stay in Beijing for a while." Princess He Wanchang smiled lightly.

Concubine Ning pursed her lips and smiled, "It's very good, it's just that the Changjun horse has suffered."

The queen said, "Changning doesn't come to Beijing often, I'm afraid it's because he's not familiar with Beijing. If you have time, you can often come to the palace to talk to Wuyang and Pingyang." Then she looked at Song Qinghuan and Song Qingyi, "If you have time, you can also bring Changning County The Lord is wandering around Jian'an City."

"Yes." Song Qinghuan and Song Qingyi agreed naturally.

Lu Zhenzhen pursed her lips, and said regretfully, "Unfortunately, Cousin Anyang is gone. When I came here, Cousin Pingyang and Cousin Anyang took me to play."

She spoke recklessly, Princess He Wanchang gave her a reproachful look, and quickly said, "Your cousin Anyang married to Liang Country to benefit the common people. This is a good thing, so there is no such thing as a pity." What? You were spoiled by me in Yangzhou on weekdays, and you are not in good shape. When you come here, you can learn from Pingyang Diji and Wuyang Diji."

Lu Zhenzhen agreed.

Song Qingyi smiled, accepting Princess He Wanchang's words.

Song Qinghuan just lowered her head without saying a word, her expression was a bit dull.

When Lu Zhenzhen entered the palace, seeing Song Qingyi being favored, she would just hang around her.This time he came to Beijing again for the position of Crown Princess, and the Crown Prince Song Yan is Song Qingyi's younger brother, so he naturally wanted to curry favor with her.

Song Qinghuan didn't see through, and he didn't bother to make false claims with them.

Seeing the harmonious scene below, Concubine Ning smiled and said, "A few days ago, my sister-in-law also took Xiao'er and Shu'er away, and I think it's time to arrive in a few days. When Shu'er enters the capital, Emperor Pingyang If Ji and Wuyang Emperor Ji are free, they will also take her to experience the prosperity of the capital."

Song Qinghuan gave a pause to the hand that was lifting the lid of the tea, and there was a look of watching the show in his eyes.

Ning Shu also went to Beijing?This is really lively.

She savored the tea in the cup carefully, her brows and eyes became more and more radiant.

The queen's face darkened when she heard the words, apparently it was the first time she had heard what Concubine Ning said.Emperor Yu didn't change his expression, it seemed that Concubine Ning Gui and General Ning had already greeted him in advance.

Lu Zhenzhen tilted her head and looked upwards, "I don't know if the Xiao'er and Shu'er mentioned by the imperial concubine are...?"

"They are my brother's son and daughter. They usually live in the northwest with my brother. A few days ago, I went to Beijing with my sister-in-law and planned to live in Beijing for a while."

When Lu Zhenzhen heard this, the smile on her face faded.

Years have passed, and if he goes to Beijing again this time, he must be here for the draft.Although Ning Shu's target may not necessarily be the crown prince, but it is still Lu Zhenzhen's opponent, which inevitably makes her a little dissatisfied.

"It turns out that Mrs. Ning has also come to Beijing recently, what a coincidence." The queen said something indifferent.

Song Qinghuan was amused.

A daughter of the chief princess, and a niece of Concubine Ning, all of whom are from prominent backgrounds, this is a good show to watch.She glanced at the dark-eyed queen, wondering if the Wei family would also come to meddle in her heart.
She didn't want to care about other things, but the candidate for the concubine of the fifth emperor brother must not be selected from these people.

Everyone in the hall had different thoughts, and the atmosphere was a bit stagnant for a while.

At this time, Emperor Yu said, "It's getting late, and Wan and Changning might as well have dinner in the palace before going back."

He Wanchang Di Ji was in a hurry to thank her.

Emperor Yu looked at the others, "You guys also stay and have dinner together."

"No." Everyone saluted and agreed.

Emperor Yu ordered Zhong Huai to make arrangements.

The Queen and Princess Hewanchang picked some irrelevant words to chat again, the atmosphere eased down, and they were happy for a while.

Song Qinghuan lowered his eyebrows, thinking about the intention of Emperor Yu's move.

All the draftees have to go through layers of screening to determine the final shortlist. Princess He Wanchang brought Lu Zhenzhen to Beijing in such a high-profile manner, which means that Lu Zhenzhen is on the shortlist.But Princess He Wanchang has a special status. Could it be... the emperor is really willing to let her daughter marry into the royal family?

Or... Now that Yang Fu's whereabouts are unknown, the emperor's move is only to temporarily win over He Wanchang Di Ji, in case she turns against him and secretly colludes with Yang Fu?

After thinking about it, she still felt that this speculation was the only one that was more reliable.

As for agreeing to allow the Ning family to enter Beijing, it was naturally to balance the interests of all parties.

From this point of view, the Wei family will definitely not let it go.But Wei Xuguang didn't have a concubine daughter, and the second wife's status was too humble, could it be... the Wei family would send a concubine daughter from another side to compete?

She didn't care much about the draft at first, but from this point of view, this draft will definitely become a battlefield where the interests of all parties are stalemate.Among the three princes, the fifth prince is the weakest, so don't become the victim of the confrontation between the second prince and the crown prince.

Thinking of this, my mind suddenly became tense.

It seemed that she couldn't take this matter lightly, she had to pay close attention to it.

Everyone looked like they were in love with each other, and the lunch was spent happily.

After dinner, he bid farewell to Princess Wanchang.Lu Zhenzhen still didn't want to go home, curled her lips, didn't look at He Wanchang Princess, only looked at Emperor Yu, and said sweetly, "Your Majesty, Zhenzhen can play with cousin Pingyang in the palace for a while before leaving the palace ?"

"Of course." Emperor Yu spoke softly, and looked at Princess He Wanchang, "He Wan might as well go back to the mansion first, let Chang Ning play in the palace, and I will send someone to take her back in the evening."

"Then there will be trouble for the emperor." He thanked the Wanchang Emperor Ji and gave Lu Zhenzhen a few words before leaving with the servants.

As soon as she left, everyone also said goodbye.

Lu Zhenzhen was a junior, naturally Concubine Ning Gui and the Empress had no time to entertain her, so they handed her over to Song Qingyi and Song Qinghuan, and they went back to the palace.

Song Qinghuan glanced at Lu Zhenzhen who was talking non-stop around Song Qingyi, and said calmly, "Cousin Changning and Second Sister Huang are very close, Second Sister Huang might as well invite her to sit in your palace, and I will leave first."

The kindness and gentleness on Song Qingyi's face are all pretended, how can Song Qinghuan be allowed to go first?Shibu stopped in front of her, and pretended to joke, "Don't even think about leaving Wuyang, you also go to my palace. You haven't been to my palace for a long time."

Song Qinghuan watched her speak so affectionately again, and felt a little bit of disdain in her heart.

A few days ago, she had an expression of wanting to drink blood to herself, but now she has such a sisterly love, her acting skills are at the level of a movie queen, no wonder she has won a virtuous and virtuous look inside and outside the palace Germany's good reputation.

Lu Zhenzhen was not interested in Song Qinghuan at all, but she couldn't refuse Song Qingyi's words, so she agreed casually, "Yes, cousin Wuyang, please come too."

Song Qinghuan knew that Song Qingyi was also very annoyed with Lu Zhenzhen in her heart, but she had to entertain her because of face, so she wanted to pull herself along.

Seeing that she was determined to drag herself into the water, Song Qinghuan thought about it for a while, and nodded in agreement without refusing.

The three of them headed towards Song Qingyi's Zhaohua Palace.

Arriving at Zhaohua Palace, Lu Zhenzhen became even more curious, looking around here and there, a trace of almost invisible envy flashed across her brows and eyes.Song Qinghuan is the queen's daughter, and she was quite favored before, so Zhaohua Palace is the most luxurious and magnificent among the three imperial concubines' palaces.

Although Lu Zhenzhen is a princess, Princess He Wanchang has a special status and is cautious in everything.Although Changjun Ma is the governor of Yangzhou, he dare not act too extravagantly.Therefore, their mansion in Yangzhou can only be regarded as the level of upper-middle class, how can it compare with the imperial palace?

No, as soon as Lu Zhenzhen entered the palace, she was fascinated by the magnificence and magnificence of the palace.

In addition to envy, there is also a secret unwillingness in my heart.

——If it was grandfather who ascended the throne, the person who lives in this palace now is himself!
Pursing her lips, the desire in her heart became stronger.

I must sit on the position of Crown Princess. In time, the seat of Empress Zhonggong will be my own, and this huge imperial palace will also be my own!
The wishful thinking in his heart was well planned, and a smile could not help but burst into the corners of his eyes.

Song Qingyi saw it in her eyes, she was quite disdainful in her heart, but her face became more affectionate, she led Lu Zhenzhen to walk around Zhaohua Palace before she sat down.

"What will Cousin Pingyang do tomorrow?" Lu Zhenzhen asked curiously.

"Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, I will practice whenever I have time." Song Qingyi replied with a smile.

Lu Zhenzhen said "Oh", pointing to the picture of wintersweet on the wall, "Is this picture painted by cousin Pingyang?"

Song Qingyi nodded, "It's a shame."

Lu Zhenzhen showed a look of admiration, "Cousin Pingyang's paintings are really good."

"It's just an interest in spare time, and it's not proficient." Song Qingyi said modestly.

Lu Zhenzhen's eyebrows drooped, and there was a bit of sadness in her eyes.She had heard of Song Qingyi's versatility for a long time. Compared with herself who knew nothing, she inevitably felt a little inferior in her heart. Coupled with Song Qingyi's indifferent demeanor and conversation, she felt even more ashamed.

After all, she was too young and too arrogant, she rolled her eyes, and her eyes fell on Song Qinghuan.

"I don't know what cousin Wuyang does in her free time?"

Song Qinghuan said calmly, "I don't have as many talents as the second emperor sister. In my free time, I just read books to pass the time."

Lu Zhenzhen was slightly happy, and tentatively asked, "Cousin Wuyang doesn't like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?"

Song Qinghuan was about to deny it, but saw Song Qingyi pursed her lips and smiled, and said before her, "Wuyang, don't be modest. At the father's birthday banquet that day, when you sang a konghou, you were astounding everyone!"

Konghou?

Lu Zhenzhen was startled, and looked at Song Qinghuan blankly.The konghou is a rare musical instrument, Song Qinghuan can play it unexpectedly, and is still so proficient, the self-confidence after finally coming back has dropped again, and it is unavoidable to feel a little panic.

I don't know anything, am I not qualified to be a princess?

Just as he was thinking wildly, a court lady suddenly came in through the curtain, saluted a few of them, and then looked at Song Qingyi, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince has come down."

Lu Zhenzhen was overjoyed when she heard the words, her eyes lit up instantly.
