Chapter 104: Discussion on the law should be cut!
Song Qingyi was slightly surprised, glanced at Lu Zhenzhen whose eyes and eyebrows were stained with joy, sneered from the bottom of her heart, looked at the maid who came to inform, and said, "The prince, please come in."
The maid responded and exited the inner hall.
Soon, the bead curtain sounded again, and this time, it was Prince Song Yan who came in.
Song Yan was wearing a purple round-neck gown, a gold and silver double-threaded silk belt around his waist, and black Liuhe boots with embroidered cloud patterns on his feet.
Yuguo's royal family genes are excellent, apart from temperament, all the princes are handsome and handsome, with imposing appearance.
Lu Zhenzhen had seen Song Yan a few times before, but she had never observed his face so closely.Seeing it at this moment, one's mind is unavoidably swayed, and a peach blossom is revealed on his face.
Song Qinghuan glanced at Lu Zhenzhen lightly, seeing the blush on her face, she couldn't help but sneer in her heart.
Lu Zhenzhen had always been covetous about the position of Crown Princess, now that she saw Song Yan's handsome appearance again, she probably became more determined to win it.
Song Yan walked in, glanced at him, and saw that besides Song Qingyi and Song Qinghuan, there was a little girl whom he didn't know very well.
"Emperor Sister, Seventh Emperor Sister." He nodded slightly towards the two of them as a greeting, and his eyes fell on Lu Zhenzhen again, with a look of suspicion on his face, "I don't know if this girl is... ?”
Song Qingyi's lips parted slightly, and just as she was about to speak, Lu Zhenzhen opened her mouth in front of her. She greeted Song Yan with a blessing, with autumn water in her eyes, and said coquettishly, "Little girl, Zhenzhen, I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Zhenzhen?
Song Yan looked at her suspiciously.
Although he already had a guess in his mind, he didn't remember the maiden name of Princess Changning, so he had to look at Song Qingyi as if asking for help.
Song Qingyi was overwhelmed by Lu Zhenzhen, feeling somewhat dissatisfied in her heart, seeing Song Yan's view, she just introduced coldly, "This is Princess Changning."
"So it's Aunt Hewanhuang's daughter." Song Yan showed a dazed expression, and nodded slightly towards Lu Zhenzhen.
The gleam in Lu Zhenzhen's eyes became even worse, she glanced at him, then lowered her head again.
"Show the prince a seat." Song Qingyi spoke to the painted fan behind her.
Paint Fan invited Song Yan to sit down opposite Song Qinghuan and Lu Zhenzhen, served him tea, and Fang retreated behind Song Qingyi.
"Why is Yan'er free to come to my palace today?" Song Qingyi and Song Yan are siblings of the same mother, they have a good relationship, and they talk casually.
Although she knew that Song Yan came today to be with Princess Wanchang and Lu Zhenzhen, but Lu Zhenzhen could only pretend not to know that she was here, and brought up a topic.
"It's been a long time since I've been to the Imperial Sister's Palace. I came to see the Imperial Sister. I didn't expect the Seventh Emperor Sister and Changning Princess to be here. It's a surprise." Song Yan said with a smile, his tone calm and unhurried. People are like spring breeze.
Lu Zhenzhen looked at him with bright eyes, and said enviously, "His Royal Highness, Cousin Pingyang, has such a good relationship."
Song Yan looked at her, and teased slightly, "I remember that the emperor's aunt only had one daughter, cousin Changning? Doesn't cousin Changning want a brother or sister?"
Lu Zhenzhen doesn't want brothers and sisters, once she has brothers and sisters, her mother's love for her will inevitably decrease, she doesn't like this.But when Song Yan asked like this, she didn't have the nerve to say no, she blushed and nodded, "It would be great if we could have brothers and sisters together."
Song Qingyi glanced at her, and the rouge color of her cheeks lightened slightly. There was a look of coldness in her eyes, but her face became more friendly, she pursed her lips and smiled, "It's not difficult, just let the imperial aunt have another one."
Lu Zhenzhen grinned in embarrassment, but she didn't know how to answer, when Song Yan's voice sounded again, "Cousin Changning, if you don't mind, just treat me as your elder brother."
When Song Qinghuan heard this, she was immediately happy and watched Lu Zhenzhen's reaction leisurely.
Sure enough, Lu Zhenzhen's smile froze on her lips.
She is the one who will be the princess!Don't be the prince's younger sister!Rolling his eyes, he laughed stiffly, and changed the subject, "I haven't been to Jian'an for a long time, what interesting things can there be in Jian'an City?"
Disdain flashed across Song Qingyi's eyes, but he still took up the conversation gently, "Cousin Changning is free someday, and I'll take you for a stroll."
Song Yan followed suit and nodded.
Lu Zhenzhen tilted her head slightly, her big eyes flickered, showing an innocent and romantic expression, "Is His Royal Highness going with you?"
Song Yan smiled awkwardly, "I'm afraid it won't work in the near future, there are still some political affairs for my father to deal with."
Lu Zhenzhen's intentions are so obvious, how could he not see it, and he also heard about the purpose of coming to Beijing with Princess Wanchang from his mother.
So as soon as she heard the news that Princess Hewanchang and Princess Changning had entered the palace, she hurried over here just to inquire about the situation.He only met Princess Changning once when he was a child, but he never saw him again, so he was curious about it.
It's just that when I saw him in person, I lost interest immediately.
This Princess Changning's appearance is not bad, and she looks like a little girl when she can do things. How can such a person help him achieve great success and become his good wife?
Lu Zhenzhen's face suddenly collapsed.
However, she soon realized that this was not at home, and the people sitting across from her were all more expensive people than her, so she didn't dare to make a bad face any more, and smiled a little embarrassedly, "That's right, His Royal Highness has business to do, so naturally there is no Hang out with us in the streets."
Song Qinghuan watched from the side, feeling very bored.
Thinking of this, she didn't bother to hide it, and covered her face with her hands and yawned.
Originally, her movement was not big, but just after Lu Zhenzhen finished speaking, everyone was thinking about it, and no one answered for a moment, and the yawning became clear immediately.
The three of them looked at Song Qinghuan one after another.Especially Lu Zhenzhen's expression was the most ugly, her eyes were wide open, as if there was a hint of accusation.
Song Qinghuan didn't panic, and smiled at them, "I'm sorry, I didn't sleep well last night, I made everyone laugh." After a pause, he continued, "If the second sister and the crown prince don't mind, can Wuyang leave first? "
She was originally dragged here by Song Qingyi, and she wanted to leave after sitting for a while.The prince is also here now, why does Song Qingyi keep her here?
Lu Zhenzhen wanted to be a crown princess, so she would try her best to curry favor with Song Qingyi, it didn't make any difference to her whether she was here or not, maybe she thought she was in the way!
She didn't bother to wade in this muddy beach.
Song Qingyi was stunned for a moment, then smiled again, and said empathetically, "Since Wuyang is tired, let's go back and have a good rest. I'll send someone to inform you when we have decided which day to go out to the palace. "
In front of outsiders, she has always had such a gentle and amiable tone.Song Qinghuan was also sure of her point.
Seeing this, Lu Zhenzhen's dislike for Song Qinghuan deepened. She felt that she was dull and impolite. In comparison, Song Qingyi was gentle and considerate, almost like a fairy girl.
Song Qinghuan got up, bowed to the crown prince and Song Qingyi, then glanced at Lu Zhenzhen who was frowning, and left Zhaohua Palace gracefully with Shen Xingliuyue.
As soon as she left, Lu Zhenzhen couldn't help it anymore, pouted her mouth, and complained, "Cousin Pingyang, cousin Wuyang, don't you like me?"
"Nothing, Wuyang is just tired today, Changning don't think too much." Song Qingyi wished that everyone would dislike Song Qinghuan, but she pretended to speak for her, making her temperament more gentle and amiable .
Lu Zhenzhen was still young, so she couldn't tell the difference between hypocrisy and hypocrisy, she muttered a bit, but didn't say much, she just raised her eyebrows and said to her, "Cousin Pingyang is better, she is gentle and generous."
Song Qingyi pursed her lips and smiled, her face was still calm, but her heart was very happy.
As soon as Song Qinghuan left, the atmosphere seemed to be more lively. Lu Zhenzhen tried harder to express herself in front of Song Yan, but in Song Yan's eyes, she felt that she was immature, and she lost interest in her at all, so she couldn't explain it clearly.After staying for a while, I also found an excuse to leave.
As soon as Song Yan left, Lu Zhenzhen immediately languished, chatted a few more words casually, and said goodbye.
Song Qingyi didn't stay behind either, and summoned a painting fan to send her out of the palace, and sent two servants to follow her all the way.
Watching Lu Zhenzhen disappear outside the hall, Song Qingyi's warm smile collapsed and was replaced by a sneer.
With such a heart, you still want to be Yan'er's concubine?It's wishful thinking!
With a cold snort, he walked into the hall with a flick of his sleeves.
*
Song Qinghuan guessed correctly, following Lu Zhenzhen and Ning Shu, another force was ready to move.It was the Wei family who acted this time.
Since Wei Zhitong's entry into the palace, how many benefits have been obtained for the Wei family, both openly and secretly. How could the Wei family easily hand over the candidate for the next crown princess?
But Wei's parents' house did not have a woman of the right age, and the second house was born as a concubine. Although there was a girl who was waiting to marry, her status was too low to compete with the noble girls of various families.
At this time, the Wei family turned their attention to the other prostitutes.
The Wei family's ancestral home was in Yuzhou, and Wei Rong's branch was a direct descendant. After entering the court and becoming an official, he settled in Jian'an.Other offshoots are still developing in Yuzhou.Wei Rong's mother, Mrs. Wei, didn't like to leave her hometown. She didn't go to Beijing with Wei Rong's family at first, but stayed in the ancestral house in Yuzhou and lived with her youngest son.
This time, after hearing about the selection of concubines by the princes, for the long-term development of the Wei family, Mrs. Wei, who is over 70 years old, personally brought the most outstanding daughter of the second wife, her granddaughter Wei Qianyu, to Beijing.
Yuzhou is not far from Jian'an, so even though Ning Shi took Ning Xiao and Ning Shu to set off first, Mrs. Wei and Wei Qianyu arrived in Jian'an before them.
After arriving in Jian'an, Mrs. Wei and Wei Qianyu settled down in the Wei Mansion and began to prepare for the draft ceremony at the end of the month.
Before that, Mrs. Wei naturally wanted to go to the palace to meet the queen. Apart from Wei Qianyu, there was also Wei Yi's younger sister, Wei Pingting, the daughter of the second wife who accompanied her.
Originally, Wei Pingting was not on the draft list, but recently the second room is holding the eldest room without a successor and insisting on getting involved in everything.In order to calm things down, the queen could only temporarily agree.
On this day, when the weather was warm, a carriage left the Wei residence and drove steadily towards the palace.
At the Nanhua Gate, the carriage stopped.Wei Qianyu and Wei Pingting got out of the car first, and helped Mrs. Wei down from the left and the right.
The queen has already sent Liuli to wait at the gate of the palace.
Seeing that it was an old lady getting off the carriage, Liuli understood in her heart, and hurriedly stepped forward with a smile on her face, and said respectfully, "Excuse me, are you Mrs. Wei and the two Miss Wei?"
Madam Wei nodded, and said politely, "Miss is...?"
Liuli hurriedly bowed to her, and became more respectful, "The servant is the servant of the empress, so the old lady can call the servant Liuli." Then, she stepped forward, "Old lady and the two girls, please follow me." Slave come."
After entering Nanhua Gate, Liuli led Mrs. Wei, Wei Qianyu and Wei Pingting to Changle Palace.Mrs. Wei had been to the imperial palace once, and she was a person who had seen big storms, so her expression was calm.
It was the first time for Wei Qianyu and Wei Pingting to come to the palace. When they first saw the magnificent scene of Qionglou Yuyu, they were extremely surprised and looked at everything around them intently.
Wei Qian's language is good, after all, she is a prostitute, and she was brought up by Mrs. Wei herself, her vision and demeanor are higher than Wei Pingting's, so although she was surprised in her heart, she only glanced occasionally, which didn't seem too much.
Wei Pingting on the side was a bit exaggerated.His eyes widened, he greedily glanced left and right, and from time to time he pointed to something in admiration.
Madam Wei frowned in dissatisfaction, but because of Liuli's presence, she couldn't directly reprimand her, so she glared at Wei Pingting while Liuli wasn't looking.
Only then did Wei Pingting restrain herself a bit.
After walking for a while, they arrived at the Imperial Garden, and three people came from far ahead.When Liuli saw it, a strange color flashed between her brows and eyes, and she slowed down her pace.
It was none other than Song Qinghuan and Liuyue Shenxing who came.
At this time, Song Qinghuan also saw a few people walking in front, squinted his eyes slightly, and recognized that the person leading the way was Liuli.
Liuli is the queen's confidant, and the person who can get her to lead the way in person is definitely not an ordinary character.
Could it be...he also came here for the draft?
Thinking about it this way, he couldn't help thinking a little bit, his eyes turned, and he went straight to meet Liuli.
Everyone came in front of her, Liuli couldn't avoid it even if she wanted to, so she had to salute to Song Qinghuan, "I have seen Your Highness."
Anyang Diji married far away, and now the only women in the palace who can be called His Highness are Pingyang Diji and Wuyang Diji.
Mrs. Wei immediately understood who the woman in front of her with a radiant complexion better than snow and bright eyes, winked at Wei Qianyu and Wei Pingting, and saluted Song Qinghuan tremblingly, "I have seen Your Highness."
Wei Qianyu and Wei Pingting also wanted to understand Song Qinghuan's identity, and hurriedly saluted.
Song Qing smiled happily, looked at the three of them a few times, and then looked at Liuli, "These three are...?"
Liuli didn't dare not answer, so she had to briefly introduce, "This is the grandmother of the empress, the old lady of the Wei family. These two are girls from the Wei family."
"It turned out to be Mrs. Wei, disrespect and disrespect." Song Qinghuan bowed slightly, his cold eyes flashed across Wei Qianyu and Wei Pingting meaningfully, and he said again, "I don't know what the two Wei girls are called?"
"Little girl Wei Qianyu."
"Little girl Wei Pingting."
"The two girls are from Beijing? How come I have never seen them before?" Song Qinghuan asked curiously, seemingly casually.
These two women were both sixteen or seventeen years old, and they had to be summoned by the empress in person, so it seemed——these were really draft candidates put forward by the Wei family.
I just don't know which room it is?
After she asked this question, the slightly taller girl on the left named Wei Qianyu hesitated for a moment, and said generously, "Returning to Your Highness, the daughter of the people is from Yuzhou, and she came to Beijing with her great-grandmother recently."
Song Qinghuan knew that Wei's ancestral home was in Yuzhou. After hearing Wei Qianyu's words, she immediately understood.This Wei Qianyu is the daughter of a side branch of the Wei family.Since Mrs. Wei was able to accompany her to the capital, she seemed to be the best among women of the same age in the clan.
Another woman named Wei Pingting also hesitated and said, "Minnv is from the capital, but she has never been in the palace. Perhaps it is because of this that His Highness has never seen Minnv before." Speaking of which, she He looked a little embarrassed.
Song Qinghuan understood immediately.
This Wei Pingting should be the daughter of the second wife of the Wei family in Beijing, the younger sister of Wei Yi mentioned by Song Qingyi that day.
However, as Wei Pingting, dare to miss the princess?I'm afraid it's not enough to be a prince and side concubine.
On the contrary, this Wei Qianyu, although not a descendant of the direct descendant, behaved in a dignified manner, no wonder the Wei family had to send him to the capital after traveling thousands of miles.Although she didn't have in-depth contact with them, from the current point of view, Wei Qianyu's competitiveness is indeed much stronger than that of Lu Zhenzhen.
There were many thoughts in his heart, but he nodded with a normal expression on his face, "So that's the case." He said, looking at Liuli, "Since the empress has something to do with some people, I won't bother you."
Liuli was a little panicked, for fear that Wei Qianyu and Wei Pingting would reveal too much information, and the empress would not like it when she found out. Seeing Song Qinghuan's words to leave, she was overjoyed, and hurriedly nodded in response, "Your Highness, let's go."
Wei Qianyu and Wei Pingting also saluted.
Song Qinghuan nodded, and walked away with Liuyue and Shenxing.
Liuli didn't dare to delay any longer, and took Mrs. Wei, Wei Qianyu, and Wei Pingting to Changle Palace at a faster pace.
When they were about to reach Changle Palace, Song Qinghuan also went to Nanhua Gate.
She was about to leave the palace today, but she happened to run into someone from the Wei family unexpectedly, which was an unexpected gain.From this point of view, she has met two of the strong competitors among the show girls, and there is only one Ning Shu who has never met.
He left Nanhua Palace without hindrance, and the prepared carriage was already waiting at the city wall. Liu Yue stepped forward, thanked the servants for the arrangement, welcomed Song Qinghuan into the carriage with Shen Xing, and then drove to Jian'an City.
Song Qinghuan went out of the palace today to find Xuanying.
Last time when Xuanying sent people to deliver the news of Princess He Wanchang to the palace, they also told her that Shen Chuhan was about to arrive in Shengjing, so she didn't have to worry.A few days later, Song Qinghuan couldn't rest assured, so she went out of the palace to find Xuanying.
Xuanying's residence in Jian'an City is an unremarkable private house, hidden in a small alley called Huaihua Lane. Although Song Qinghuan has never been there, he got the address from Xuanying, so this time he did not inform him. coming.
After walking for a while, Liuyue turned into Huaihua Lane.The further you went in, the narrower the alley was, and after walking for a while, the carriage couldn't get in.Song Qinghuan simply got out of the car, asked Liu Yue to find a place to park the carriage, and then led the two of them to continue walking into the alley.
Not long after, a small courtyard appeared at the end of the alley. The gate of the courtyard was closed tightly, and no human voice was heard.
Song Qinghuan glanced at Liuyue and motioned her to knock on the door.
In response, Liu Yue raised her hand and knocked on the courtyard door.
There was no response from the yard.
Liu Yue felt strange, and knocked a few more times.
Still no response.
She was a little vigilant, and reached out to push the courtyard door.Unexpectedly, before the palm touched the door, the courtyard door was suddenly pulled open, and then, a sharp palm wind hit.
Liu Yue was startled, and quickly turned sideways to avoid it, but saw a hand protruding from the crack of the door, hitting her face directly.
Only the whistling of the wind could be heard, and Liu Yue was startled by the powerful power contained in the palm wind.She gritted her teeth violently, and had no choice but to avoid the fierce attack of the oncoming person first, backed up a few steps, retreated into the alley, and together with Shen Xing, guarded Song Qinghuan behind her vigilantly.
Song Qinghuan saw some clues.
That palm move seems somewhat familiar.
A thought flashed in his mind, his eyes flashed, and he tentatively called out to the yard, "Xuan Ying?"
The palm wind that was attacking again suddenly stopped, only the courtyard door was pulled open with a "squeak", and a person walked out quickly from inside, with an anxious and guilty expression, it was Xuanying.
When Xuanying saw Song Qinghuan and the three of them, she frowned, and a trace of annoyance flashed in her eyes.
He stepped forward quickly, knelt down in front of Song Qinghuan on one knee, with a look of guilt on his face, "Your Highness, I don't know how many of your subordinates are His Highness, who almost accidentally injured you, Your Highness, please punish me."
Song Qinghuan pursed her lips, gave him a little support, and signaled him not to be too polite, "Get up quickly, I can't blame you for this, I came here without notifying you in advance."
She should have thought a long time ago that Xuanying was a hidden guard and was hiding in Jian'an, so she was naturally very vigilant.When his subordinates came to him, they must have a secret signal, and it was indeed his own mistake to call Liu Yue to knock on the door rashly.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Xuan Ying responded angrily, with a bit of self-blame still on his face.
Seeing this, Song Qinghuan rolled her eyes and joked with a smile, "Besides, the person you almost hurt was Liu Yue, not me."
When Xuan Ying heard this, her brows and eyes were slightly startled, and she slightly raised her head to look at Liu Yue.
Liu Yue thought it would be all right, but when Xuan Ying's eyes fell on Xuan Ying's self-blame and troubled face, she felt a bit of teasing, snorted lightly, patted her chest and said, "No way! You scared me to death. You The shot is so heavy, what if it hurts me?"
Xuanying lowered her head in embarrassment again, "Leave Miss Liuyue to deal with it."
"Disposal? How do you want me to dispose of you?" Liu Yue's voice was delicate and crisp.
Xuan Ying was speechless again, and after a long while, he could hold back a sentence, "Then...then you can call back too."
Liuyue couldn't help but let out a "puchi" laugh, said "idiot" in a low voice, and then looked at Song Qinghuan, "Your Highness, Xuanying didn't do it on purpose, let's forget it."
Song Qinghuan smiled meaningfully, looked at Xuanying and asked, "What's the secret code for your usual conversation?"
"Three long knocks and one short knock on the door." Xuanying replied.
Song Qinghuan looked at Liuyue, "Do you remember?"
Liuyue nodded.
Song Qinghuan looked back at Xuanying again, "Are we just standing outside talking like this?"
Only then did Xuanying come to her senses, smiled embarrassedly, pushed open the courtyard door and invited Song Qinghuan in, "Your Highness, please come in."
A group of people entered the courtyard, Song Qinghuan looked around and found that the small courtyard was indeed very cold.
The yard is not big, and there are two rooms in the middle. It seems that one is the main room and the other is the bedroom. There is also a small kitchen next to it, but it seems that it has not been fired for a long time.A well stood alone in the yard, without any fireworks.
Xuanying embarrassedly invited Song Qinghuan into the main room, and carefully wiped the chair with her sleeve before inviting her to take a seat.
Seeing him bewildered and busy up and down, Song Qinghuan couldn't help laughing.
Although Xuan Ying is strong in martial arts, she really doesn't know how to take care of herself in life.Seeing that he was too busy to boil water for himself, Song Qinghuan hurriedly said, "Not busy, just let Shen Xing go."
As he spoke, he looked at Shen Xing.
Shen Xing agreed, and went down to prepare tea.
Xuanying responded with a nana, looked at Song Qinghuan and said, "I don't know if His Highness is here today, but what do you want your subordinates to do?"
Thinking of the purpose of his visit, Song Qinghuan turned serious, looked at him and asked, "Last time you said that Ah Chu would soon arrive in Shengjing, has he already arrived?"
Xuanying should say, "Your Highness just arrived in Shengjing yesterday, there is no need to worry."
Song Qing breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good." After a moment of silence, he raised his head worriedly, "Is there any embarrassment for Emperor Liang?"
"There is no detailed information yet, but please rest assured, Your Highness, the young master has great influence in Shengjing, and Emperor Liang can't easily move him."
Hearing Xuanying's decisiveness, Song Qinghuan felt relieved, nodded and said, "That's very good. Whenever there is any news from him, be sure to send someone to notify me."
Xuan Ying responded.
Song Qinghuan asked again, "I asked you to check the itinerary of the Ning family last time. Is there any news?"
Xuanying nodded and said, "This subordinate is about to send someone to notify His Highness. Mrs. Ning and Ning Xiao and Ning Shu have already arrived at the outskirts of Jian'an City yesterday. If there is no accident, they will enter the city today."
A flash of thought flashed in Song Qinghuan's eyes.
Because the purpose of the draft this time is different from the past, the form of the draft has also changed.March 28 is the draft ceremony. Before that, there will be a spring hunt, which will be attended by the selected girls and princes. It can be regarded as an opportunity for everyone to get in touch with each other before the ceremony.
Today is March [-]th, and the spring hunt is scheduled to be held in a few days, but Ning Shu will take advantage of the time to enter Beijing.
While speaking, Shen Xing came from the kitchen again, looked at Song Qinghuan with a look of doubt, "Your Highness, although there is a tea set in this small kitchen, the servant did not find any tea..." As he spoke, he looked at Xuanying.
Only then did Xuanying think of it, and she lowered her eyes embarrassedly and said, "Sorry Your Highness, I forgot to prepare tea here, and I will go buy it later."
"No need." Song Qinghuan waved his hand, "I still have something to do, so I won't be sitting down soon."
Looking around the impoverished room, he said again, "Although you live alone, you should treat yourself better." After thinking about it, "Well, I'll let Liu Yue stay here first, and see what else you have here. What’s missing, let her accompany you to the street in the afternoon and buy it.”
After all, Xuanying was a man, so there was nothing he could do about it being rough in life.But if he wants to live here for a while, he can't live too easily.
As for why Liuyue was left to help, it was because Song Qinghuan felt that Liuyue was lively, and if she was left behind, she and Xuan Ying would not be relatively silent.
Liu Yue was slightly startled, and looked at Song Qinghuan in surprise, as if she didn't expect her to make such a request suddenly.
Song Qinghuan smiled and looked at her, "Why? Don't you want to?"
Before Liuyue could reply, Xuanying stammered and said, "Your Highness, don't bother Miss Liuyue, this subordinate..."
"Since Your Highness has opened his mouth, you should do it." No, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Yue.Looking up, she saw Liu Yue's clear starry eyes looking at her intently, with a bit of dissatisfaction in her eyes.
It's hard for Xuanying to say anything, so I had to thank Song Qinghuan and Liuyue.
Seeing his cramped expression, Song Qinghuan saw some interest, and glanced at Liuyue meaningfully, "Okay, I'll go first. You can arrange this place for Xuanying well."
Saying that, he took a look at Shen Xing and led her out of the room.
At the gate of the courtyard, Song Qinghuan stopped and looked at Liuyue and Xuanying who still wanted to see them off, "I'm leaving, you don't have to send them off anymore." Saying that, she walked out of the small courtyard with a smile on her face.
He and Shen Xing walked to the place where the carriage was parked, stretched out his hand to lift the curtain and sat on it.
Shen Xing sat outside and drove the carriage, and slowly drove the carriage out of Huaihua Lane.
After leaving the alley, Shen Xing suddenly said, "Your Highness... Did you leave Liuyue behind on purpose?"
Although she doesn't talk much on weekdays, she sees everything clearly.Xuan Ying is already an adult, although he doesn't care much about the quality of life, but if His Highness asks him to buy utensils and items by himself, he will definitely obey.In other words, there is absolutely no need for His Highness to keep Liu Yue, but if His Highness did so, there must be other intentions.
Song Qinghuan was originally closing her eyes to rest her mind, but she slowly opened her eyes when she heard this, and after thinking for a moment, Fang smiled and said, "Chen Xing thinks, why did I keep Liuyue?"
Shen Xing had some suspicions in his heart, but he didn't dare to speak indiscriminately, he just said, "I don't know."
Song Qinghuan chuckled, "You little girl, you know everything, but you're still pretending to be confused here."
Shen Xing also laughed lowly, cleared his throat and said, "If I ask this servant to guess, I would think that His Highness intends to match Liu Yue and Xuan Ying."
Song Qinghuan lifted the curtain of the car to look at her, smiled and said angrily, "You are a ghost."
She leaned lazily on the big guide pillow, and said lazily, "I, I didn't intend to match them up deliberately. I just think that Xuanying left the master who has served for many years for me, and stayed alone in this unfamiliar place. Jian'an, how lonely is she? Liuyue has a lively personality, and she was kept in the hope that Xuanying's monotonous life would be more colorful. As for whether the two of them will succeed in the end, it depends on God's will."
After a pause, he suddenly lowered his tone, and said mysteriously, "And don't you think that Liu Yue seems to have some interest in Xuan Ying?"
Shen Xing pursed his lips, smiled lightly and said nothing, a touch of emotion floated in his heart.
She and Liu Yue are just maidservants serving His Highness, but His Highness has a panoramic view of all their joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys, and is doing his best to plan everything for them.She and Liuyue are really lucky to meet such a good master.
At this time, the carriage had already arrived in the downtown area, so Song Qinghuan put down the curtain and sat back in the carriage.
The weather is pleasant today, the sun is warm, and the streets are full of pedestrians.In order to avoid hurting people, the carriage also slowed down and walked slowly on the street.
Simply Song Qinghuan was not in a hurry, so he relaxed, raised the curtain of the car and looked at the bustling scene outside the window.
At this time, a familiar figure flashed in his sight.
She turned her eyes cold and looked intently.
Not far away, the crowded place is the Qianzhan Pavilion, which has not been visited for a long time.It has been several months since the last time I went to Qianzhan Pavilion, but the business of Qianzhan Pavilion is still booming. It is indeed the most prestigious place in Jian'an City.
The figure that flashed past her sight just now seemed to be Prince Song Yan!At a glance, he seemed to see a few men who looked like young masters beside him. They surrounded Song Yan and went to the Qianzhan Pavilion, and they disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Song Qinghuan's expression froze.
Although Cai didn't see it too clearly just now, but she thought about it carefully now, and she was very sure in her heart that the person who entered Qianzhan Pavilion surrounded by several people was indeed Song Yan!
As the prince of a country, Song Yan didn't stay in the palace to help his father handle state affairs, why did he come to this kind of music workshop?If Concubine Ning's faction knew about it, they would make a big fuss about it.
——What is his plan?
Suspicious in my heart, I can't help but feel a little bit thoughtful.
I rummaged through the carriage, and sure enough, I found a set of men's clothing that had been left in the carriage.Now that you have men's clothing, you might as well dress up as a man secretly and enter Qianzhan Pavilion to see what the hell Song Yan is up to.
He was about to ask Shen Xing to drive the carriage to the alley next to him to stop, so that he could change into men's clothes, but suddenly he heard the sound of Dada's horse's hooves behind him.
The horse's hooves sounded from far to near, and they stomped heavily on the ground.It was also mixed with the cries and howls of the people who couldn't dodge it, and it was a little jumpy for a while.
Song Qinghuan frowned, raised the curtains and looked back.
I saw a black horse galloping closer and closer behind him. The horse's coat was shiny and its hooves were strong. It looked like a thousand-mile horse.The person who drives the horse is a woman in red, wearing a narrow-sleeved riding outfit, with high hair and a whip in her hand, with a heroic posture.
Pedestrians crowded shoulder to shoulder on Jian'an Avenue, and suddenly such a galloping horse came, and the pedestrians ran to both sides, fearing that the horse's hoof would step on them in a second.
All of a sudden, the crowd pushed and shoved, even if many people were not kicked by the horses, they fell to the ground in the process of running away in a hurry. Before they had time to get up, the panicked crowd stepped on them again.
In an instant, the street was in chaos.
But the woman who started it didn't seem to care at all, she raised her eyebrows, and said "drive--" coquettishly, dancing the whip in her hand more and more vigorously.
The accident happened quite suddenly, and the streets were crowded with people. Song Qinghuan's carriage was blocked in the middle of the road, unable to move for a while.Seeing that the horse was getting closer and closer, and would soon hit Song Qinghuan's carriage, the woman in red did not intend to stop at all, but shouted at Shen Xing who was driving the horse, "Get out of the way! "
After walking a few steps to the front, the girl in red realized that the carriage was blocked and could not move. She frowned and pulled the rein abruptly. The sitting horse neighed long and turned its head in the air. , Gao Yang's horseshoes did not hesitate to press down on the people on the side of the road.
In an instant, screams and screams of fear resounded through the entire street.
Song Qinghuan had a panoramic view of all this, Mo Tong turned cold, and quickly got out of the carriage, tiptoed on the shaft of the carriage, and jumped onto the back of the horse pulling the carriage.
She quickly pulled out the soft whip around her waist, and with a flick of her wrist, the long whip swung towards the high hoof of the horse like a silver snake spewing out letters.
In a blink of an eye, the soft whip wrapped around the horse's front hooves precisely, as if it had eyes, and circled several times to wrap around the horse's hooves.Song Qinghuan didn't pause at all, and with a force in his hand, he pulled the soft whip towards his side.
The horse's hoof that was supposed to fall on the common people was actually pulled by her!The horse's front hooves didn't touch the ground, and its rear hooves were unstable due to the force. It raised its head to the sky and let out a long hiss. The next moment, its huge body crashed to the ground, kicking up a huge amount of dust.
The woman in red on the horseback was unprepared, and was bumped by the sitting horse, directly knocking off the horse's back.It's just that she seemed to have a bit of martial arts. The moment she landed, she rolled on the ground a few times before she stabilized her figure.If so, his clothes and face were covered with dust, he stood up in a state of embarrassment, and shot Song Qinghuan fiercely.
With a flick of his wrist, Song Qinghuan retracted the soft whip, and retracted it to his waist with lightning speed.Then he split his legs, sat on the horse pulling the cart, grasped the rein tightly and pulled hard, and the restless horse also calmed down.
All of a sudden, the street fell silent, all eyes were on Song Qinghuan.
I saw the woman on the horse, dressed in white, without makeup, with an alluring complexion, she was really beautiful!Only those dark and clear almond eyes seemed to be condensed with frost, which added a touch of chill to the woman.
Under the eyes of everyone, she turned over beautifully and dismounted, and walked slowly to stand in front of the distraught woman in red, her expression was always calm and as cold as winter snow.
She lightly raised her eyes, looked at the woman in red in front of her, and slowly opened her lips.
"Riding a horse in a busy city, the law should be cut!"
The voice is clear and sweet, but it also has a biting coolness.
(End of this chapter)
Song Qingyi was slightly surprised, glanced at Lu Zhenzhen whose eyes and eyebrows were stained with joy, sneered from the bottom of her heart, looked at the maid who came to inform, and said, "The prince, please come in."
The maid responded and exited the inner hall.
Soon, the bead curtain sounded again, and this time, it was Prince Song Yan who came in.
Song Yan was wearing a purple round-neck gown, a gold and silver double-threaded silk belt around his waist, and black Liuhe boots with embroidered cloud patterns on his feet.
Yuguo's royal family genes are excellent, apart from temperament, all the princes are handsome and handsome, with imposing appearance.
Lu Zhenzhen had seen Song Yan a few times before, but she had never observed his face so closely.Seeing it at this moment, one's mind is unavoidably swayed, and a peach blossom is revealed on his face.
Song Qinghuan glanced at Lu Zhenzhen lightly, seeing the blush on her face, she couldn't help but sneer in her heart.
Lu Zhenzhen had always been covetous about the position of Crown Princess, now that she saw Song Yan's handsome appearance again, she probably became more determined to win it.
Song Yan walked in, glanced at him, and saw that besides Song Qingyi and Song Qinghuan, there was a little girl whom he didn't know very well.
"Emperor Sister, Seventh Emperor Sister." He nodded slightly towards the two of them as a greeting, and his eyes fell on Lu Zhenzhen again, with a look of suspicion on his face, "I don't know if this girl is... ?”
Song Qingyi's lips parted slightly, and just as she was about to speak, Lu Zhenzhen opened her mouth in front of her. She greeted Song Yan with a blessing, with autumn water in her eyes, and said coquettishly, "Little girl, Zhenzhen, I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Zhenzhen?
Song Yan looked at her suspiciously.
Although he already had a guess in his mind, he didn't remember the maiden name of Princess Changning, so he had to look at Song Qingyi as if asking for help.
Song Qingyi was overwhelmed by Lu Zhenzhen, feeling somewhat dissatisfied in her heart, seeing Song Yan's view, she just introduced coldly, "This is Princess Changning."
"So it's Aunt Hewanhuang's daughter." Song Yan showed a dazed expression, and nodded slightly towards Lu Zhenzhen.
The gleam in Lu Zhenzhen's eyes became even worse, she glanced at him, then lowered her head again.
"Show the prince a seat." Song Qingyi spoke to the painted fan behind her.
Paint Fan invited Song Yan to sit down opposite Song Qinghuan and Lu Zhenzhen, served him tea, and Fang retreated behind Song Qingyi.
"Why is Yan'er free to come to my palace today?" Song Qingyi and Song Yan are siblings of the same mother, they have a good relationship, and they talk casually.
Although she knew that Song Yan came today to be with Princess Wanchang and Lu Zhenzhen, but Lu Zhenzhen could only pretend not to know that she was here, and brought up a topic.
"It's been a long time since I've been to the Imperial Sister's Palace. I came to see the Imperial Sister. I didn't expect the Seventh Emperor Sister and Changning Princess to be here. It's a surprise." Song Yan said with a smile, his tone calm and unhurried. People are like spring breeze.
Lu Zhenzhen looked at him with bright eyes, and said enviously, "His Royal Highness, Cousin Pingyang, has such a good relationship."
Song Yan looked at her, and teased slightly, "I remember that the emperor's aunt only had one daughter, cousin Changning? Doesn't cousin Changning want a brother or sister?"
Lu Zhenzhen doesn't want brothers and sisters, once she has brothers and sisters, her mother's love for her will inevitably decrease, she doesn't like this.But when Song Yan asked like this, she didn't have the nerve to say no, she blushed and nodded, "It would be great if we could have brothers and sisters together."
Song Qingyi glanced at her, and the rouge color of her cheeks lightened slightly. There was a look of coldness in her eyes, but her face became more friendly, she pursed her lips and smiled, "It's not difficult, just let the imperial aunt have another one."
Lu Zhenzhen grinned in embarrassment, but she didn't know how to answer, when Song Yan's voice sounded again, "Cousin Changning, if you don't mind, just treat me as your elder brother."
When Song Qinghuan heard this, she was immediately happy and watched Lu Zhenzhen's reaction leisurely.
Sure enough, Lu Zhenzhen's smile froze on her lips.
She is the one who will be the princess!Don't be the prince's younger sister!Rolling his eyes, he laughed stiffly, and changed the subject, "I haven't been to Jian'an for a long time, what interesting things can there be in Jian'an City?"
Disdain flashed across Song Qingyi's eyes, but he still took up the conversation gently, "Cousin Changning is free someday, and I'll take you for a stroll."
Song Yan followed suit and nodded.
Lu Zhenzhen tilted her head slightly, her big eyes flickered, showing an innocent and romantic expression, "Is His Royal Highness going with you?"
Song Yan smiled awkwardly, "I'm afraid it won't work in the near future, there are still some political affairs for my father to deal with."
Lu Zhenzhen's intentions are so obvious, how could he not see it, and he also heard about the purpose of coming to Beijing with Princess Wanchang from his mother.
So as soon as she heard the news that Princess Hewanchang and Princess Changning had entered the palace, she hurried over here just to inquire about the situation.He only met Princess Changning once when he was a child, but he never saw him again, so he was curious about it.
It's just that when I saw him in person, I lost interest immediately.
This Princess Changning's appearance is not bad, and she looks like a little girl when she can do things. How can such a person help him achieve great success and become his good wife?
Lu Zhenzhen's face suddenly collapsed.
However, she soon realized that this was not at home, and the people sitting across from her were all more expensive people than her, so she didn't dare to make a bad face any more, and smiled a little embarrassedly, "That's right, His Royal Highness has business to do, so naturally there is no Hang out with us in the streets."
Song Qinghuan watched from the side, feeling very bored.
Thinking of this, she didn't bother to hide it, and covered her face with her hands and yawned.
Originally, her movement was not big, but just after Lu Zhenzhen finished speaking, everyone was thinking about it, and no one answered for a moment, and the yawning became clear immediately.
The three of them looked at Song Qinghuan one after another.Especially Lu Zhenzhen's expression was the most ugly, her eyes were wide open, as if there was a hint of accusation.
Song Qinghuan didn't panic, and smiled at them, "I'm sorry, I didn't sleep well last night, I made everyone laugh." After a pause, he continued, "If the second sister and the crown prince don't mind, can Wuyang leave first? "
She was originally dragged here by Song Qingyi, and she wanted to leave after sitting for a while.The prince is also here now, why does Song Qingyi keep her here?
Lu Zhenzhen wanted to be a crown princess, so she would try her best to curry favor with Song Qingyi, it didn't make any difference to her whether she was here or not, maybe she thought she was in the way!
She didn't bother to wade in this muddy beach.
Song Qingyi was stunned for a moment, then smiled again, and said empathetically, "Since Wuyang is tired, let's go back and have a good rest. I'll send someone to inform you when we have decided which day to go out to the palace. "
In front of outsiders, she has always had such a gentle and amiable tone.Song Qinghuan was also sure of her point.
Seeing this, Lu Zhenzhen's dislike for Song Qinghuan deepened. She felt that she was dull and impolite. In comparison, Song Qingyi was gentle and considerate, almost like a fairy girl.
Song Qinghuan got up, bowed to the crown prince and Song Qingyi, then glanced at Lu Zhenzhen who was frowning, and left Zhaohua Palace gracefully with Shen Xingliuyue.
As soon as she left, Lu Zhenzhen couldn't help it anymore, pouted her mouth, and complained, "Cousin Pingyang, cousin Wuyang, don't you like me?"
"Nothing, Wuyang is just tired today, Changning don't think too much." Song Qingyi wished that everyone would dislike Song Qinghuan, but she pretended to speak for her, making her temperament more gentle and amiable .
Lu Zhenzhen was still young, so she couldn't tell the difference between hypocrisy and hypocrisy, she muttered a bit, but didn't say much, she just raised her eyebrows and said to her, "Cousin Pingyang is better, she is gentle and generous."
Song Qingyi pursed her lips and smiled, her face was still calm, but her heart was very happy.
As soon as Song Qinghuan left, the atmosphere seemed to be more lively. Lu Zhenzhen tried harder to express herself in front of Song Yan, but in Song Yan's eyes, she felt that she was immature, and she lost interest in her at all, so she couldn't explain it clearly.After staying for a while, I also found an excuse to leave.
As soon as Song Yan left, Lu Zhenzhen immediately languished, chatted a few more words casually, and said goodbye.
Song Qingyi didn't stay behind either, and summoned a painting fan to send her out of the palace, and sent two servants to follow her all the way.
Watching Lu Zhenzhen disappear outside the hall, Song Qingyi's warm smile collapsed and was replaced by a sneer.
With such a heart, you still want to be Yan'er's concubine?It's wishful thinking!
With a cold snort, he walked into the hall with a flick of his sleeves.
*
Song Qinghuan guessed correctly, following Lu Zhenzhen and Ning Shu, another force was ready to move.It was the Wei family who acted this time.
Since Wei Zhitong's entry into the palace, how many benefits have been obtained for the Wei family, both openly and secretly. How could the Wei family easily hand over the candidate for the next crown princess?
But Wei's parents' house did not have a woman of the right age, and the second house was born as a concubine. Although there was a girl who was waiting to marry, her status was too low to compete with the noble girls of various families.
At this time, the Wei family turned their attention to the other prostitutes.
The Wei family's ancestral home was in Yuzhou, and Wei Rong's branch was a direct descendant. After entering the court and becoming an official, he settled in Jian'an.Other offshoots are still developing in Yuzhou.Wei Rong's mother, Mrs. Wei, didn't like to leave her hometown. She didn't go to Beijing with Wei Rong's family at first, but stayed in the ancestral house in Yuzhou and lived with her youngest son.
This time, after hearing about the selection of concubines by the princes, for the long-term development of the Wei family, Mrs. Wei, who is over 70 years old, personally brought the most outstanding daughter of the second wife, her granddaughter Wei Qianyu, to Beijing.
Yuzhou is not far from Jian'an, so even though Ning Shi took Ning Xiao and Ning Shu to set off first, Mrs. Wei and Wei Qianyu arrived in Jian'an before them.
After arriving in Jian'an, Mrs. Wei and Wei Qianyu settled down in the Wei Mansion and began to prepare for the draft ceremony at the end of the month.
Before that, Mrs. Wei naturally wanted to go to the palace to meet the queen. Apart from Wei Qianyu, there was also Wei Yi's younger sister, Wei Pingting, the daughter of the second wife who accompanied her.
Originally, Wei Pingting was not on the draft list, but recently the second room is holding the eldest room without a successor and insisting on getting involved in everything.In order to calm things down, the queen could only temporarily agree.
On this day, when the weather was warm, a carriage left the Wei residence and drove steadily towards the palace.
At the Nanhua Gate, the carriage stopped.Wei Qianyu and Wei Pingting got out of the car first, and helped Mrs. Wei down from the left and the right.
The queen has already sent Liuli to wait at the gate of the palace.
Seeing that it was an old lady getting off the carriage, Liuli understood in her heart, and hurriedly stepped forward with a smile on her face, and said respectfully, "Excuse me, are you Mrs. Wei and the two Miss Wei?"
Madam Wei nodded, and said politely, "Miss is...?"
Liuli hurriedly bowed to her, and became more respectful, "The servant is the servant of the empress, so the old lady can call the servant Liuli." Then, she stepped forward, "Old lady and the two girls, please follow me." Slave come."
After entering Nanhua Gate, Liuli led Mrs. Wei, Wei Qianyu and Wei Pingting to Changle Palace.Mrs. Wei had been to the imperial palace once, and she was a person who had seen big storms, so her expression was calm.
It was the first time for Wei Qianyu and Wei Pingting to come to the palace. When they first saw the magnificent scene of Qionglou Yuyu, they were extremely surprised and looked at everything around them intently.
Wei Qian's language is good, after all, she is a prostitute, and she was brought up by Mrs. Wei herself, her vision and demeanor are higher than Wei Pingting's, so although she was surprised in her heart, she only glanced occasionally, which didn't seem too much.
Wei Pingting on the side was a bit exaggerated.His eyes widened, he greedily glanced left and right, and from time to time he pointed to something in admiration.
Madam Wei frowned in dissatisfaction, but because of Liuli's presence, she couldn't directly reprimand her, so she glared at Wei Pingting while Liuli wasn't looking.
Only then did Wei Pingting restrain herself a bit.
After walking for a while, they arrived at the Imperial Garden, and three people came from far ahead.When Liuli saw it, a strange color flashed between her brows and eyes, and she slowed down her pace.
It was none other than Song Qinghuan and Liuyue Shenxing who came.
At this time, Song Qinghuan also saw a few people walking in front, squinted his eyes slightly, and recognized that the person leading the way was Liuli.
Liuli is the queen's confidant, and the person who can get her to lead the way in person is definitely not an ordinary character.
Could it be...he also came here for the draft?
Thinking about it this way, he couldn't help thinking a little bit, his eyes turned, and he went straight to meet Liuli.
Everyone came in front of her, Liuli couldn't avoid it even if she wanted to, so she had to salute to Song Qinghuan, "I have seen Your Highness."
Anyang Diji married far away, and now the only women in the palace who can be called His Highness are Pingyang Diji and Wuyang Diji.
Mrs. Wei immediately understood who the woman in front of her with a radiant complexion better than snow and bright eyes, winked at Wei Qianyu and Wei Pingting, and saluted Song Qinghuan tremblingly, "I have seen Your Highness."
Wei Qianyu and Wei Pingting also wanted to understand Song Qinghuan's identity, and hurriedly saluted.
Song Qing smiled happily, looked at the three of them a few times, and then looked at Liuli, "These three are...?"
Liuli didn't dare not answer, so she had to briefly introduce, "This is the grandmother of the empress, the old lady of the Wei family. These two are girls from the Wei family."
"It turned out to be Mrs. Wei, disrespect and disrespect." Song Qinghuan bowed slightly, his cold eyes flashed across Wei Qianyu and Wei Pingting meaningfully, and he said again, "I don't know what the two Wei girls are called?"
"Little girl Wei Qianyu."
"Little girl Wei Pingting."
"The two girls are from Beijing? How come I have never seen them before?" Song Qinghuan asked curiously, seemingly casually.
These two women were both sixteen or seventeen years old, and they had to be summoned by the empress in person, so it seemed——these were really draft candidates put forward by the Wei family.
I just don't know which room it is?
After she asked this question, the slightly taller girl on the left named Wei Qianyu hesitated for a moment, and said generously, "Returning to Your Highness, the daughter of the people is from Yuzhou, and she came to Beijing with her great-grandmother recently."
Song Qinghuan knew that Wei's ancestral home was in Yuzhou. After hearing Wei Qianyu's words, she immediately understood.This Wei Qianyu is the daughter of a side branch of the Wei family.Since Mrs. Wei was able to accompany her to the capital, she seemed to be the best among women of the same age in the clan.
Another woman named Wei Pingting also hesitated and said, "Minnv is from the capital, but she has never been in the palace. Perhaps it is because of this that His Highness has never seen Minnv before." Speaking of which, she He looked a little embarrassed.
Song Qinghuan understood immediately.
This Wei Pingting should be the daughter of the second wife of the Wei family in Beijing, the younger sister of Wei Yi mentioned by Song Qingyi that day.
However, as Wei Pingting, dare to miss the princess?I'm afraid it's not enough to be a prince and side concubine.
On the contrary, this Wei Qianyu, although not a descendant of the direct descendant, behaved in a dignified manner, no wonder the Wei family had to send him to the capital after traveling thousands of miles.Although she didn't have in-depth contact with them, from the current point of view, Wei Qianyu's competitiveness is indeed much stronger than that of Lu Zhenzhen.
There were many thoughts in his heart, but he nodded with a normal expression on his face, "So that's the case." He said, looking at Liuli, "Since the empress has something to do with some people, I won't bother you."
Liuli was a little panicked, for fear that Wei Qianyu and Wei Pingting would reveal too much information, and the empress would not like it when she found out. Seeing Song Qinghuan's words to leave, she was overjoyed, and hurriedly nodded in response, "Your Highness, let's go."
Wei Qianyu and Wei Pingting also saluted.
Song Qinghuan nodded, and walked away with Liuyue and Shenxing.
Liuli didn't dare to delay any longer, and took Mrs. Wei, Wei Qianyu, and Wei Pingting to Changle Palace at a faster pace.
When they were about to reach Changle Palace, Song Qinghuan also went to Nanhua Gate.
She was about to leave the palace today, but she happened to run into someone from the Wei family unexpectedly, which was an unexpected gain.From this point of view, she has met two of the strong competitors among the show girls, and there is only one Ning Shu who has never met.
He left Nanhua Palace without hindrance, and the prepared carriage was already waiting at the city wall. Liu Yue stepped forward, thanked the servants for the arrangement, welcomed Song Qinghuan into the carriage with Shen Xing, and then drove to Jian'an City.
Song Qinghuan went out of the palace today to find Xuanying.
Last time when Xuanying sent people to deliver the news of Princess He Wanchang to the palace, they also told her that Shen Chuhan was about to arrive in Shengjing, so she didn't have to worry.A few days later, Song Qinghuan couldn't rest assured, so she went out of the palace to find Xuanying.
Xuanying's residence in Jian'an City is an unremarkable private house, hidden in a small alley called Huaihua Lane. Although Song Qinghuan has never been there, he got the address from Xuanying, so this time he did not inform him. coming.
After walking for a while, Liuyue turned into Huaihua Lane.The further you went in, the narrower the alley was, and after walking for a while, the carriage couldn't get in.Song Qinghuan simply got out of the car, asked Liu Yue to find a place to park the carriage, and then led the two of them to continue walking into the alley.
Not long after, a small courtyard appeared at the end of the alley. The gate of the courtyard was closed tightly, and no human voice was heard.
Song Qinghuan glanced at Liuyue and motioned her to knock on the door.
In response, Liu Yue raised her hand and knocked on the courtyard door.
There was no response from the yard.
Liu Yue felt strange, and knocked a few more times.
Still no response.
She was a little vigilant, and reached out to push the courtyard door.Unexpectedly, before the palm touched the door, the courtyard door was suddenly pulled open, and then, a sharp palm wind hit.
Liu Yue was startled, and quickly turned sideways to avoid it, but saw a hand protruding from the crack of the door, hitting her face directly.
Only the whistling of the wind could be heard, and Liu Yue was startled by the powerful power contained in the palm wind.She gritted her teeth violently, and had no choice but to avoid the fierce attack of the oncoming person first, backed up a few steps, retreated into the alley, and together with Shen Xing, guarded Song Qinghuan behind her vigilantly.
Song Qinghuan saw some clues.
That palm move seems somewhat familiar.
A thought flashed in his mind, his eyes flashed, and he tentatively called out to the yard, "Xuan Ying?"
The palm wind that was attacking again suddenly stopped, only the courtyard door was pulled open with a "squeak", and a person walked out quickly from inside, with an anxious and guilty expression, it was Xuanying.
When Xuanying saw Song Qinghuan and the three of them, she frowned, and a trace of annoyance flashed in her eyes.
He stepped forward quickly, knelt down in front of Song Qinghuan on one knee, with a look of guilt on his face, "Your Highness, I don't know how many of your subordinates are His Highness, who almost accidentally injured you, Your Highness, please punish me."
Song Qinghuan pursed her lips, gave him a little support, and signaled him not to be too polite, "Get up quickly, I can't blame you for this, I came here without notifying you in advance."
She should have thought a long time ago that Xuanying was a hidden guard and was hiding in Jian'an, so she was naturally very vigilant.When his subordinates came to him, they must have a secret signal, and it was indeed his own mistake to call Liu Yue to knock on the door rashly.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Xuan Ying responded angrily, with a bit of self-blame still on his face.
Seeing this, Song Qinghuan rolled her eyes and joked with a smile, "Besides, the person you almost hurt was Liu Yue, not me."
When Xuan Ying heard this, her brows and eyes were slightly startled, and she slightly raised her head to look at Liu Yue.
Liu Yue thought it would be all right, but when Xuan Ying's eyes fell on Xuan Ying's self-blame and troubled face, she felt a bit of teasing, snorted lightly, patted her chest and said, "No way! You scared me to death. You The shot is so heavy, what if it hurts me?"
Xuanying lowered her head in embarrassment again, "Leave Miss Liuyue to deal with it."
"Disposal? How do you want me to dispose of you?" Liu Yue's voice was delicate and crisp.
Xuan Ying was speechless again, and after a long while, he could hold back a sentence, "Then...then you can call back too."
Liuyue couldn't help but let out a "puchi" laugh, said "idiot" in a low voice, and then looked at Song Qinghuan, "Your Highness, Xuanying didn't do it on purpose, let's forget it."
Song Qinghuan smiled meaningfully, looked at Xuanying and asked, "What's the secret code for your usual conversation?"
"Three long knocks and one short knock on the door." Xuanying replied.
Song Qinghuan looked at Liuyue, "Do you remember?"
Liuyue nodded.
Song Qinghuan looked back at Xuanying again, "Are we just standing outside talking like this?"
Only then did Xuanying come to her senses, smiled embarrassedly, pushed open the courtyard door and invited Song Qinghuan in, "Your Highness, please come in."
A group of people entered the courtyard, Song Qinghuan looked around and found that the small courtyard was indeed very cold.
The yard is not big, and there are two rooms in the middle. It seems that one is the main room and the other is the bedroom. There is also a small kitchen next to it, but it seems that it has not been fired for a long time.A well stood alone in the yard, without any fireworks.
Xuanying embarrassedly invited Song Qinghuan into the main room, and carefully wiped the chair with her sleeve before inviting her to take a seat.
Seeing him bewildered and busy up and down, Song Qinghuan couldn't help laughing.
Although Xuan Ying is strong in martial arts, she really doesn't know how to take care of herself in life.Seeing that he was too busy to boil water for himself, Song Qinghuan hurriedly said, "Not busy, just let Shen Xing go."
As he spoke, he looked at Shen Xing.
Shen Xing agreed, and went down to prepare tea.
Xuanying responded with a nana, looked at Song Qinghuan and said, "I don't know if His Highness is here today, but what do you want your subordinates to do?"
Thinking of the purpose of his visit, Song Qinghuan turned serious, looked at him and asked, "Last time you said that Ah Chu would soon arrive in Shengjing, has he already arrived?"
Xuanying should say, "Your Highness just arrived in Shengjing yesterday, there is no need to worry."
Song Qing breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good." After a moment of silence, he raised his head worriedly, "Is there any embarrassment for Emperor Liang?"
"There is no detailed information yet, but please rest assured, Your Highness, the young master has great influence in Shengjing, and Emperor Liang can't easily move him."
Hearing Xuanying's decisiveness, Song Qinghuan felt relieved, nodded and said, "That's very good. Whenever there is any news from him, be sure to send someone to notify me."
Xuan Ying responded.
Song Qinghuan asked again, "I asked you to check the itinerary of the Ning family last time. Is there any news?"
Xuanying nodded and said, "This subordinate is about to send someone to notify His Highness. Mrs. Ning and Ning Xiao and Ning Shu have already arrived at the outskirts of Jian'an City yesterday. If there is no accident, they will enter the city today."
A flash of thought flashed in Song Qinghuan's eyes.
Because the purpose of the draft this time is different from the past, the form of the draft has also changed.March 28 is the draft ceremony. Before that, there will be a spring hunt, which will be attended by the selected girls and princes. It can be regarded as an opportunity for everyone to get in touch with each other before the ceremony.
Today is March [-]th, and the spring hunt is scheduled to be held in a few days, but Ning Shu will take advantage of the time to enter Beijing.
While speaking, Shen Xing came from the kitchen again, looked at Song Qinghuan with a look of doubt, "Your Highness, although there is a tea set in this small kitchen, the servant did not find any tea..." As he spoke, he looked at Xuanying.
Only then did Xuanying think of it, and she lowered her eyes embarrassedly and said, "Sorry Your Highness, I forgot to prepare tea here, and I will go buy it later."
"No need." Song Qinghuan waved his hand, "I still have something to do, so I won't be sitting down soon."
Looking around the impoverished room, he said again, "Although you live alone, you should treat yourself better." After thinking about it, "Well, I'll let Liu Yue stay here first, and see what else you have here. What’s missing, let her accompany you to the street in the afternoon and buy it.”
After all, Xuanying was a man, so there was nothing he could do about it being rough in life.But if he wants to live here for a while, he can't live too easily.
As for why Liuyue was left to help, it was because Song Qinghuan felt that Liuyue was lively, and if she was left behind, she and Xuan Ying would not be relatively silent.
Liu Yue was slightly startled, and looked at Song Qinghuan in surprise, as if she didn't expect her to make such a request suddenly.
Song Qinghuan smiled and looked at her, "Why? Don't you want to?"
Before Liuyue could reply, Xuanying stammered and said, "Your Highness, don't bother Miss Liuyue, this subordinate..."
"Since Your Highness has opened his mouth, you should do it." No, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Yue.Looking up, she saw Liu Yue's clear starry eyes looking at her intently, with a bit of dissatisfaction in her eyes.
It's hard for Xuanying to say anything, so I had to thank Song Qinghuan and Liuyue.
Seeing his cramped expression, Song Qinghuan saw some interest, and glanced at Liuyue meaningfully, "Okay, I'll go first. You can arrange this place for Xuanying well."
Saying that, he took a look at Shen Xing and led her out of the room.
At the gate of the courtyard, Song Qinghuan stopped and looked at Liuyue and Xuanying who still wanted to see them off, "I'm leaving, you don't have to send them off anymore." Saying that, she walked out of the small courtyard with a smile on her face.
He and Shen Xing walked to the place where the carriage was parked, stretched out his hand to lift the curtain and sat on it.
Shen Xing sat outside and drove the carriage, and slowly drove the carriage out of Huaihua Lane.
After leaving the alley, Shen Xing suddenly said, "Your Highness... Did you leave Liuyue behind on purpose?"
Although she doesn't talk much on weekdays, she sees everything clearly.Xuan Ying is already an adult, although he doesn't care much about the quality of life, but if His Highness asks him to buy utensils and items by himself, he will definitely obey.In other words, there is absolutely no need for His Highness to keep Liu Yue, but if His Highness did so, there must be other intentions.
Song Qinghuan was originally closing her eyes to rest her mind, but she slowly opened her eyes when she heard this, and after thinking for a moment, Fang smiled and said, "Chen Xing thinks, why did I keep Liuyue?"
Shen Xing had some suspicions in his heart, but he didn't dare to speak indiscriminately, he just said, "I don't know."
Song Qinghuan chuckled, "You little girl, you know everything, but you're still pretending to be confused here."
Shen Xing also laughed lowly, cleared his throat and said, "If I ask this servant to guess, I would think that His Highness intends to match Liu Yue and Xuan Ying."
Song Qinghuan lifted the curtain of the car to look at her, smiled and said angrily, "You are a ghost."
She leaned lazily on the big guide pillow, and said lazily, "I, I didn't intend to match them up deliberately. I just think that Xuanying left the master who has served for many years for me, and stayed alone in this unfamiliar place. Jian'an, how lonely is she? Liuyue has a lively personality, and she was kept in the hope that Xuanying's monotonous life would be more colorful. As for whether the two of them will succeed in the end, it depends on God's will."
After a pause, he suddenly lowered his tone, and said mysteriously, "And don't you think that Liu Yue seems to have some interest in Xuan Ying?"
Shen Xing pursed his lips, smiled lightly and said nothing, a touch of emotion floated in his heart.
She and Liu Yue are just maidservants serving His Highness, but His Highness has a panoramic view of all their joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys, and is doing his best to plan everything for them.She and Liuyue are really lucky to meet such a good master.
At this time, the carriage had already arrived in the downtown area, so Song Qinghuan put down the curtain and sat back in the carriage.
The weather is pleasant today, the sun is warm, and the streets are full of pedestrians.In order to avoid hurting people, the carriage also slowed down and walked slowly on the street.
Simply Song Qinghuan was not in a hurry, so he relaxed, raised the curtain of the car and looked at the bustling scene outside the window.
At this time, a familiar figure flashed in his sight.
She turned her eyes cold and looked intently.
Not far away, the crowded place is the Qianzhan Pavilion, which has not been visited for a long time.It has been several months since the last time I went to Qianzhan Pavilion, but the business of Qianzhan Pavilion is still booming. It is indeed the most prestigious place in Jian'an City.
The figure that flashed past her sight just now seemed to be Prince Song Yan!At a glance, he seemed to see a few men who looked like young masters beside him. They surrounded Song Yan and went to the Qianzhan Pavilion, and they disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Song Qinghuan's expression froze.
Although Cai didn't see it too clearly just now, but she thought about it carefully now, and she was very sure in her heart that the person who entered Qianzhan Pavilion surrounded by several people was indeed Song Yan!
As the prince of a country, Song Yan didn't stay in the palace to help his father handle state affairs, why did he come to this kind of music workshop?If Concubine Ning's faction knew about it, they would make a big fuss about it.
——What is his plan?
Suspicious in my heart, I can't help but feel a little bit thoughtful.
I rummaged through the carriage, and sure enough, I found a set of men's clothing that had been left in the carriage.Now that you have men's clothing, you might as well dress up as a man secretly and enter Qianzhan Pavilion to see what the hell Song Yan is up to.
He was about to ask Shen Xing to drive the carriage to the alley next to him to stop, so that he could change into men's clothes, but suddenly he heard the sound of Dada's horse's hooves behind him.
The horse's hooves sounded from far to near, and they stomped heavily on the ground.It was also mixed with the cries and howls of the people who couldn't dodge it, and it was a little jumpy for a while.
Song Qinghuan frowned, raised the curtains and looked back.
I saw a black horse galloping closer and closer behind him. The horse's coat was shiny and its hooves were strong. It looked like a thousand-mile horse.The person who drives the horse is a woman in red, wearing a narrow-sleeved riding outfit, with high hair and a whip in her hand, with a heroic posture.
Pedestrians crowded shoulder to shoulder on Jian'an Avenue, and suddenly such a galloping horse came, and the pedestrians ran to both sides, fearing that the horse's hoof would step on them in a second.
All of a sudden, the crowd pushed and shoved, even if many people were not kicked by the horses, they fell to the ground in the process of running away in a hurry. Before they had time to get up, the panicked crowd stepped on them again.
In an instant, the street was in chaos.
But the woman who started it didn't seem to care at all, she raised her eyebrows, and said "drive--" coquettishly, dancing the whip in her hand more and more vigorously.
The accident happened quite suddenly, and the streets were crowded with people. Song Qinghuan's carriage was blocked in the middle of the road, unable to move for a while.Seeing that the horse was getting closer and closer, and would soon hit Song Qinghuan's carriage, the woman in red did not intend to stop at all, but shouted at Shen Xing who was driving the horse, "Get out of the way! "
After walking a few steps to the front, the girl in red realized that the carriage was blocked and could not move. She frowned and pulled the rein abruptly. The sitting horse neighed long and turned its head in the air. , Gao Yang's horseshoes did not hesitate to press down on the people on the side of the road.
In an instant, screams and screams of fear resounded through the entire street.
Song Qinghuan had a panoramic view of all this, Mo Tong turned cold, and quickly got out of the carriage, tiptoed on the shaft of the carriage, and jumped onto the back of the horse pulling the carriage.
She quickly pulled out the soft whip around her waist, and with a flick of her wrist, the long whip swung towards the high hoof of the horse like a silver snake spewing out letters.
In a blink of an eye, the soft whip wrapped around the horse's front hooves precisely, as if it had eyes, and circled several times to wrap around the horse's hooves.Song Qinghuan didn't pause at all, and with a force in his hand, he pulled the soft whip towards his side.
The horse's hoof that was supposed to fall on the common people was actually pulled by her!The horse's front hooves didn't touch the ground, and its rear hooves were unstable due to the force. It raised its head to the sky and let out a long hiss. The next moment, its huge body crashed to the ground, kicking up a huge amount of dust.
The woman in red on the horseback was unprepared, and was bumped by the sitting horse, directly knocking off the horse's back.It's just that she seemed to have a bit of martial arts. The moment she landed, she rolled on the ground a few times before she stabilized her figure.If so, his clothes and face were covered with dust, he stood up in a state of embarrassment, and shot Song Qinghuan fiercely.
With a flick of his wrist, Song Qinghuan retracted the soft whip, and retracted it to his waist with lightning speed.Then he split his legs, sat on the horse pulling the cart, grasped the rein tightly and pulled hard, and the restless horse also calmed down.
All of a sudden, the street fell silent, all eyes were on Song Qinghuan.
I saw the woman on the horse, dressed in white, without makeup, with an alluring complexion, she was really beautiful!Only those dark and clear almond eyes seemed to be condensed with frost, which added a touch of chill to the woman.
Under the eyes of everyone, she turned over beautifully and dismounted, and walked slowly to stand in front of the distraught woman in red, her expression was always calm and as cold as winter snow.
She lightly raised her eyes, looked at the woman in red in front of her, and slowly opened her lips.
"Riding a horse in a busy city, the law should be cut!"
The voice is clear and sweet, but it also has a biting coolness.
