Chapter 157 The rain is coming
Song Qinghuan's eyes were slightly cold when he saw the man who was rushing towards this side with bright eyes.

That man was none other than Ning Xiao who hadn't seen him since the spring hunting in Shanglinyuan.This year's draft ended in tragedy, and the princes did not choose a suitable candidate for the prince or concubine. I didn't expect that the three princes who came to the capital this time, the only one who is still alive is the prince Song Yan. What a blessing! trick people.

And although Ning Shu was unsuccessfully elected as the eldest princess at that time, Mrs. Ning and Ning Shu and Ning Xiao stayed in Beijing after the draft and never returned to Youzhou.Concubine Ning lost her beloved son. As a nephew, it is normal for Ning Xiao to come to the palace to comfort her, but where did Ning Shu go?
Song Qinghuan was slightly puzzled, but did not stop.

To her, Ning Xiao was just an ordinary stranger, what happened to him, and what happened to Concubine Ning, were not important matters to her.

What's more, he is very clear about Ning Xiao's thoughts on her. She is engaged to her now, but Ning Xiao still doesn't avoid suspicion after meeting her. Song Qinghuan is too lazy to cause unnecessary troubles, let alone have another There is any intersection.

The cold eyes glanced at his face, then quickly moved away, his expression did not change, and he walked towards Zhongcui Palace with his still posture.

However, Ning Xiao didn't seem to feel her indifference. He took two steps forward and stopped in front of Song Qinghuan, with a look of joy on his face, he carefully called out, "Your Highness Seventh."

Song Qinghuan was blocked in his way, so he had to stop, glanced at him coldly, nodded and gave a light "um", without any intention of staying, walked around him, and walked forward again.

Seeing her move, Ning Xiao hurriedly called out to her, "Your Highness Seventh, please stay."

Song Qinghuan frowned unsatisfactorily, stopped and turned around, "What is Mr. Ning doing?"

Ning Xiao looked at Song Qinghuan's elegant face without blinking.He hadn't seen Wuyang Diji for two or three months since that day when he went to Linyuan. When he happened to meet him at this time, he suddenly felt that Wuyang Diji's appearance became more and more amazing.

No wonder... no wonder Shen Xiang, who is famous in the four countries as cold as ice, actually proposed to marry him himself...

Thinking of this, I couldn't help feeling sour.

He knew that Wuyang Diji and himself were no longer possible.No, it should be said that it has never been possible.Everything is just his wishful thinking, it's just a dream that he had.

But even though he had given up in his heart, seeing Wuyang Diji finally, he still couldn't help but want to hear her voice and see her real appearance, that's why he came up to meet her in a strange way.

"Your Highness... How is everything, Your Highness?" He opened his lips, as if he wanted to say a thousand words to Song Qinghuan, but when he came to his lips, he only uttered the most common sentence.

Song Qinghuan's eyes turned cold, and he glanced at Ning Xiao.

Even Yunrui, who was leading the way, felt that Ning Xiao's reaction was a bit inappropriate.Taking a look at Ning Xiao, I was a little startled——

Seeing Mr. Ning's bright eyes and joyful face, it is clear that he has different thoughts about Wuyang Diji, but Wuyang Diji is the one who has made a marriage contract with Shen Xiang, so it is best to get rid of Mr. Ning's thoughts as soon as possible.

But because of his status as a slave, he didn't dare to remind him directly, so he just cleared his throat and said softly, "Mr. Ning, the imperial concubine is still waiting for you."

Ning Xiao looked annoyed, glanced at Yunrui, trying to make himself look calmer.

"You go to the side and wait a moment, I have a few words to say to Empress Wuyang." Ning Xiao's tone was heavy.

Yunrui had no choice but to avoid it.

Ning Xiao glanced at Shen Xing and Liu Yue again, his eyes touched the cold expressions on their faces, he didn't want to make fun of himself, so he turned his eyes, and still looked back at Song Qinghuan.

"His Royal Highness..."

Before he could speak, he was interrupted coldly by Song Qinghuan, "Since Mr. Ning is here to see Concubine Ning, it's better to go there as soon as possible. There is nothing to talk about between me and Mr. Ning."

"I... I just want to know if His Highness is doing well." Ning Xiao said so loudly, seeming a bit at a loss.

Song Qinghuan's eyes became colder, "My palace is very good, so I don't need Mr. Lao Ning to worry about it."

Although Song Qinghuan's tone was very cold, to Ning Xiao, Song Qinghuan was ecstatic to be able to answer his words, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness... Your Highness is going to Liang Kingdom soon, right?"

Song Qinghuan's eyes became colder and colder, "Young Master Ning is too lenient."

"I... I just..." Seeing Song Qinghuan's breath getting colder, Ning Xiao became even more at a loss.

"Mr. Ning, you must be very clear about the current situation of the Ning family. At this juncture, Mr. Ning must not make a mistake." Song Qinghuan said, threatening coldly.

Since my indifference to him can't make him retreat, how about talking about the safety of the entire Ning family?

Hearing Song Qinghuan's words, Ning Xiao was really startled, with a slightly embarrassed expression on his face.

The current status of the Ning family is indeed in jeopardy.Once the imperial cousin died, the imperial concubine and empress would have no support in the harem.The reason why the empress supported the Ning family before was to compete with the Wei family. Now that the Ning family has lost its roots, and the emperor's attitude is ambiguous, it is still unknown what the Ning family will do in the future.

At this juncture, he really shouldn't do anything unruly.It's just that, seeing Empress Wuyang, I always feel a little eager to move in my heart.

Seeing that Ning Xiao's eyes suddenly darkened, Song Qinghuan knew that her words really had an effect.He didn't stop any longer, flicked the sleeves of his robe, and left with Liuyue and Shenxing, leaving only Ning Xiao with a bitter face behind.

After a while, Ning Xiao seemed to come back to his senses, glanced at Song Qinghuan's fading figure, swallowed the bitterness in his eyes, looked at Yunrui with an eager face, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go."

In this room, Song Qinghuan walked a little further away, with a cold expression on his face and deep eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

Suddenly, she turned her head to look at Liuyue, "Liuyue, ask Xuanying to find out the latest news about Ning Tengyue after I go back."

"Yes." Liu Yue agreed.

For some reason, she was always a little uneasy.Neither Ning Tengyue nor Concubine Ning would easily admit defeat. Concubine Ning's reaction in the Xuanshi Palace that day was obviously jealous of Song Yan, and she blamed Song Yi's death on Song Yan.

But Song Yi's death really had little to do with Song Yan, so it is impossible for the father to touch the Wei family at this time.The Ning family will definitely not be reconciled if the father doesn't move the Wei family, and something will happen.

Concubine Ning Gui, no matter how thoughtful she is, she is still just a small concubine in the harem, and she cannot cause any disturbances. If you want to guard against it, you have to guard against Ning Tengyue. He has a heavy army in his hand. If he wants to make some noise, It's a complete breeze.

A gust of wind blew up, and Song Qinghuan tightened his clothes, took a deep breath, and walked towards Zhongcui Palace.

Zhongcui Palace is located in a corner of the palace, it has always been deserted, and few people come to see it on weekdays.The cool wind rolled up the fallen leaves on the ground, making it even more bleak.

Xu Cairen lives in the side hall of Zhongcui Palace.

Song Qinghuan looked up at the palace glowing with colorful light in the sun, retracted her long eyelashes, and walked in.

At the entrance of the side hall, there are two little maids sitting on the stone steps and turning the rope, with smiles on their faces, they seem to be unaffected by the recent events in the palace, and they have a radiant innocence on their bodies.

Song Qinghuan stared blankly, staring blankly at the two of them for a few moments, but stopped for a moment.

Shen Xing and Liu Yue would not make a sound, they just quietly followed behind Song Qinghuan.

It was the two little maids who first noticed something was wrong. When they looked up, they saw the beautiful Wuyang Emperor Ji standing not far away, looking at them without blinking, with sparkling eyes and misty eyes. thought.

The two were startled, and hurriedly got up and bowed to Song Qinghuan, and said tremblingly, "Your maidservant... I have seen His Highness the Seventh Prince before."

Song Qinghuan also came back to her senses, caught a glimpse of the trembling expressions on their faces, the softness in their brows and eyes receded, and her voice returned to her usual coolness, "Excuse me, is Xu Cairen here?"

Emperor Yu's imperial decree has not yet come down, and others don't know that Xu Cairen has been promoted to the position, so Song Qinghuan is only called a talented person.

The maids hurriedly responded, "Yes, the talent is in the palace."

Song Qinghuan gave a soft "um" and looked at one of them, "Go and report, and just say that I am asking to see you."

The little maid promised her blessings, and hurriedly turned around and entered the hall.

The other little palace lady who stayed here had fine beads of sweat on her face, she stood drooping by the side, not daring to look at Song Qinghuan.

Empress Wuyang has been in the limelight recently, and rumors have spread in the palace, even in places like Zhongcui Palace, where rumors have never been heard in the palace, it has spread, which shows how favored Empress Wuyang is now, such a big man, They came to Zhongcui Palace!This is the past, but it is something that I dare not even think about.

What's more, just now they slack off Empress Wuyang, and they don't know if Empress Wuyang will take it to heart.

In the end, feeling apprehensive in my heart, I couldn't help raising my eyes to glance at Song Qinghuan quietly.

But he didn't want to, Song Qinghuan was very vigilant, his long eyelashes moved, and he turned his eyes to look.

The little palace maid was startled, she hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to make another mistake.

Fortunately, it didn't take long before there were hurried footsteps in the side hall, and soon, a person dressed as a large court lady walked out of the side hall after the little maid who had just announced, and hurriedly walked up to Song Qinghuan to salute, "Slave Tong Son, I have met His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince."

"Excuse me." Song Qinghuan said lightly, his eyes swept across her face.

"The servant is served by Cai Ren's side. Cai Ren is sick and cannot greet her in person, so please don't take it to heart." Tong Er's appearance can only be considered delicate, but she is articulate, and looks clever.

Song Qinghuan nodded, showing a slight smile, "It's okay, let's lead the way."

Tong'er responded and led Song Qinghuan into the inner hall.

As soon as he entered the inner hall, there was a faint scent of medicine, and Song Qinghuan couldn't help but slightly frowned.

Tong'er glanced at Song Qinghuan's expression, and took the initiative to explain, "Cai Ren is not in good health these days, and took some medicine at the Tai Hospital."

Song Qinghuan's expression darkened slightly.

Xu Cairen's poor health could only be caused by Song Xuan, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

After walking a few steps, I saw a woman in palace attire walking out slowly with the support of a palace maid. She was thin and pale. It was Song Xuan's biological mother, Xu Cairen.

Xu Cairen raised his eyes and saw Song Qinghuan who had entered the palace. He panicked and quickly stepped up to meet Song Qinghuan. He walked up to Song Qinghuan, bent his knees, and was about to salute Song Qinghuan with the support of the maid, "See After seven..."

Before she finished speaking, Song Qinghuan lifted her up with a soft voice, "Get up quickly, you are not in good health, so don't be polite."

Xu Cairen coughed and thanked Song Qinghuan.

Song Qinghuan looked at Tong'er who was on the side, "Sit down first when you're about to help."

Tong'er agreed, and together with another court lady, helped Xu Cairen to sit down.After Song Qinghuan spoke, Xu Cairen dared not disobey, but looked at her timidly and said, "Please sit down, Your Highness."

Song Qinghuan sat down, and a court lady served tea.

She took a sip, and quickly put it down quietly.The tea in Xu Cairen's palace is really not very good, it tastes astringent.Although she had Song Xuan's help before, she was not favored after all, and it was impossible for her to live a life of luxury.But now it seems that Xu Cairen's daily life is more difficult than Song Qinghuan imagined.

She put down the teacup and looked towards Xu Cairen.

She had seen Xu Cairen a few times before from a distance, but she had never looked at him seriously.At this time, I got the opportunity and looked at it carefully for a moment.Xu Cairen is not stunning, his appearance can only be regarded as handsome at best, but his eyes are very clear. Although he is over 30 years old, he still retains the clear temperament of a girl.

It's a pity that Emperor Yu didn't like this kind of Xiaojiabiyu-like girl, so except for getting lucky with her after being drunk that night, he never looked over Xu Cairen's signboard afterwards.And Xu Cairen's most vivid youth also gradually aged and disappeared in this desolate palace.

She sighed inwardly.

It is said that the royal family is ruthless, but now, she really feels it.

　Happy New Year girls~
