Chapter 74
"Let Liu Yue and Shen Xing train with the servants for another month. If they can pass the assessment set by the servants after one month, they will be considered passed. The servants can rest assured that they will continue to protect His Highness." Chong Jin looked at Song Qinghuan and said Make your own request.

Another month of training?

Song Qinghuan didn't expect Chongjin to make such a request, and was slightly startled.

Liu Yue and Shen Xing were in a hurry to respond, "Auntie, the slaves are willing! The slaves are willing!" Although they knew that they would suffer a lot this month, as long as they could stay by His Highness's side, what's the point of suffering a little bit? important?

Song Qinghuan couldn't bear it.

She naturally thought of the questions that Liu Yue and Shen Xing could figure out.A month seems like a long time.But for those who practice martial arts, it is a flash.If you want to make qualitative progress in martial arts within a month, you must work hard.

She didn't want Liu Yue and Shen Xing to suffer, but in this case, she had no right to refuse.

Because she didn't want Chongjin to worry, and she didn't want Shen Xing and Liu Yue to leave. From this point of view, she could only let Liu Yue and Shen Xing suffer a little, and agreed to Aunt Chongjin's proposal.

After thinking about it, she nodded helplessly, "Then... well... I hope my aunt can look at me and don't be too harsh on Liu Yue and Shen Xing."

Chongjin Chao Song Qinghuan saluted, "Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness."

Song Qinghuan pursed her lips, helped up Liuyue and Shen Xing who were on the ground, "Get up quickly."

Chongjin said, "Tomorrow, the servant will send people to Yaohua Palace to meet Liu Yue and Shen Xing. Within this month, the servant will send another person to serve His Highness."

"No need." Song Qinghuan refused without thinking, "I'm used to Liuyue and Shen Xing. There are other maids in the palace, let them serve first."

"But His Highness's safety..."

"In this month, I will try my best to stay in the palace, there will be no danger."

Chong Jin wanted to say more, but raised her eyes to look at Song Qing's resolute eyes, sighed, and agreed.

"By the way." Song Qinghuan rolled her eyes, "I have one more matter that I want to discuss with my aunt."

"Please speak, Your Highness."

Song Qinghuan glanced at Liu Yue and Shen Xing, and motioned them to step aside and wait.When the two walked a little further, Fang looked at Chongjin, "Thank you, aunt, for making me a soft whip. I use it very conveniently."

Chongjin also smiled, "As long as His Highness likes it."

Song Qinghuan drew back her long eyelashes and raised her head, "Auntie, I want to know how much power my mother and concubine have left behind."

Chong Jin was slightly stunned, staring at Song Qinghuan, seemingly unexpectedly.

She looked at Song Qinghuan's calm eyebrows, and suddenly felt that Your Highness is not like her before, but...it often reminds her of her master.

The master is a woman with a clear distinction between love and hate, and she is decisive.His highness in the past was a bit too indifferent, he seemed to have no desire to fight for anything, and he was not very warm to himself.As time passed, she inevitably felt a little disheartened.

Unexpectedly, in the past few years, His Highness has gradually changed his personality. Although he still has a faint and cold personality, he can see it more clearly than before.What should be fought for and what should not be cared about, she knew very clearly in her heart, which made her very relieved.

Hearing Song Qinghuan's question at this time, although it was unexpected, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Your Highness has indeed matured.

Chao Songqing smiled happily, "The servant has been thinking whether His Highness will ask this question, and when will the servant ask this question."

Song Qinghuan was slightly surprised, she had thought about Chongjin's countless possible reactions, but she didn't think of this one, and asked hesitantly, "Auntie means...?"

"Although I can't say the reason for Madam's departure, I can be sure that Your Highness will always be number one in Madam's heart. So before Madam left, she left the elite force she cultivated to protect His Highness. But at that time His Highness Since she was still young, Madam asked her servants to take care of her temporarily. Madam once said, if His Highness lives happily and just wants to be a carefree Empress, the servants don’t have to bother you with these things. If you want to take over Madam someday The power left behind will be returned to you by the servant."

Chong Jin spoke eloquently, with the relief of "my family has a girl who has just grown up" in his eyes.

She just knew that His Highness is the wife's daughter, how could she live an ordinary life?
If it was said that Song Qinghuan was still slightly surprised just now, this time she was extremely surprised.

For a long time, the concubine mother was just a vague shadow in her heart. She knew that she was stunningly beautiful, and that she was quite favored, but these were all her impressions of being Mrs. Qingxuan.As a mother, she only knew that she had left a lot of brocade to protect herself, but she didn't know what kind of existence she was in her heart.She had thought countless times, what kind of reason could make a mother abandon her child cruelly?

But after listening to Cai Chongjin's words, she suddenly discovered that the love of her mother and concubine had already penetrated into every aspect of her life.She always thought that the concubine mother had left her, but she didn't want to, she was always living by her side and never left.

If she wants to live a stable life, Chong Jin will protect her from worries.

If she is not willing to be ordinary, the influence left by her mother and concubine will help her.

In her previous life, she failed to make good use of everything that her mother and concubine had painstakingly managed for her. In this life, she will definitely live up to her mother's wishes!
Song Qinghuan raised her brows, showing determination, "Aunt Chongjin, I want to take over."

"Okay." The heavy brocade promised loudly, "From tomorrow onwards, the servants will gradually transfer their power to His Highness."

Song Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and a big stone fell to the ground in his heart.

She didn't expect the matter to be resolved so smoothly, but no matter what, as long as the power left by the mother concubine came into her hands, her bargaining chip would increase.

"It's been an eventful season recently, Your Highness should go back to the palace first, my subordinates will make arrangements for Liuyue Shenxing and the handover as soon as possible." Chong Jin said.

"Thank you, aunt." Song Qinghuan sincerely saluted Chongjin.

"Your Highness, you don't need to be polite, this is the job of a servant."

Song Qinghuan nodded, and left with Liu Yue and Shen Xing.

*
A few more days passed.

The Taibu Department calculated the appropriate departure date for the missions of various countries, and it was set to be five days later, July [-]th.

Emperor Yu decided to hold a farewell banquet for the missions of various countries in three days.

The Liang State Mission and the Chen State Mission have entered the final stage of preparations for returning home, but the Chen State Mission is still silent, and Su Jingci is leisurely wandering in Jian'an City every day, and has no half intention to leave signs.

Although everyone had discussions, but Su Jingci had the reputation of playing in the world after all, everyone just thought that he was playful by nature, so a few discussions would be fine.

On this day, Emperor Yu sent someone to the Sifang Pavilion to send invitations for the farewell banquet to the diplomatic missions from various countries in three days.

At that time Su Jingci was about to go out, just at the entrance of the Sifang Pavilion, he bumped into the servant who came to deliver the invitation, exchanged a few greetings and accepted the invitation, the servant saluted and left.

Su Jingci lightly retracted his gaze from the servant's back, stood there for a moment, looked at the bronzing invitation in his hand, and walked back suddenly.

"Your Highness isn't going out yet?" the servant behind him was curious.

"Not going out, it's boring." Su Jingci waved the folding fan in boredom, lowered his long eyebrows, and went back to the room.

Not long after he was seated in the room, he called an unremarkable guard in, "Jing Wu, did you find out what I asked you to inquire about about the rice shop in Jian'an City that day?" .

This time when he came to Yu Country, he brought five personal guards, all of whom were his confidantes.It's just that other people don't know it, and they usually hang out among the guards and servants, and they don't pay attention, but they are secretly assigned tasks by Su Jingci.

As for the guards and servants who accompanied him on weekdays, they were all brought from Los Angeles, and a lot of forces from various parties were placed there.He knew very well that he would only take these people out every day and show them a flirtatious look, so as to reassure the forces behind these people.

But those people didn't dare to enter his room without being summoned, so Su Jingci let go of his disguise at this time.

The guard called Jing Wu nodded, "There are 32 rice shops in the city, and the prices are much lower than those in Los Angeles. My subordinates roughly checked the tone of the shop owners, and about ten shops showed cooperation." interest of."

Ten, that's not a lot.

Su Jingci groaned slightly, with deep thought in his eyes.

Everyone in the world knows that the third prince of the Chen Kingdom is ignorant and incapable of learning, but they don't know that these are just false appearances he uses to deceive the world.The real Su Jingci is actually a business genius.

Surrounded by the sea on three sides, Chen Kingdom has developed navigation and fishing industries.Different from Liang country's emphasis on animal husbandry, Yu country's emphasis on agriculture, and Zhao country's emphasis on smelting, Chen country's most developed business is business.

Originally, he was not the envoy sent by Chen Kingdom to Yu Kingdom to celebrate his birthday, but he was sensitive to the business opportunities and persuaded Emperor Chen to send him here.

These days, on the surface, he pretended to be idling around in Jian'an City all day long, but in fact he was secretly observing Jian'an's business situation.

After comparison, he found that if the rice grain business between Chen Country and Yu Country could be done, it would definitely be a profitable business.Because of the underdeveloped agriculture in Chen State, the price of rice and grain is generally higher than that of the other three countries.Moreover, between Chen Kingdom and Yu Kingdom, there is a naturally formed river called Lanjiang.The traded rice is transported by water, which is not only convenient but also fast.

That's why in the past few days, Jing Wu was asked to find out the situation of the rice shop in the city.

"Okay." He nodded, "Continue to follow up. Choose the three that you think are the most reliable, and then the prince will discuss it in person." Su Jingci ordered.According to his previous request with Emperor Yu, he can probably stay in Jian'an for about 20 days. 20 days should be more than enough to negotiate this business.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his face.

At this time, the sound of hurried footsteps was suddenly heard outside the door.

He grimaced and looked towards the door with sharp eyes.

The one who appeared at the door was also one of his personal guards, named Jing Qi.

"Jing Qi, why are you in such a hurry?" Su Jingci frowned slightly.Jing Qi's temperament is calm, and it is rare for him to be so rash.

Jing Qi entered the room, bowed to Su Jing, and before he had time to catch his breath, he hurriedly said, "Your Highness, there is a letter from Eleven."

Surrounding Su Jingci is a group of elite guards, called Jingwei, named after numbers, with a total of 72 guards.On the surface, they are just ordinary guards in his mansion, but in fact they perform their own duties and are his indispensable right-hand assistants.

And the eleventh in Jing Qi's mouth is one of the Jing guards who is in charge of the business department under his name.

Su Jingci raised his eyebrows, his eyes were full of surprise, "A letter from Eleven?" Eleven is quite talented in business management, and he has already been able to take care of himself. If it wasn't for some urgent matter, he probably wouldn't have written a letter.Could it be... is there something wrong with my business in Los Angeles?
With a bad premonition in his heart, he sat up straight and looked at Jing Qi, "Where is the letter?"

Jing Qi hurriedly presented the letterhead to Su Jingci.

Su Jingci spread out hastily, and when he glanced at ten lines, his expression changed immediately.

It turned out that Eleven said in the letter that in the past few days, he suddenly opened several new shops around the cloth shop under his name in Los Angeles. But the price is only one third of theirs.

Such cheap and beautiful things naturally attracted people to loot them, and all their old and new customers went to those shops.They also tried to communicate on Eleven, but the shopkeeper on the other side had a tough and arrogant attitude, bluntly saying that they only talk to people who can make a decision.

If it goes on like this, those fabric shops of his will definitely go bankrupt, and there is no way to do it on October [-], so they have to write to tell Su Jingci to see if Su Jingci can go back early.

"Your Highness, what happened?" Seeing that Su Jingci's expression was not right, Jing Qi asked.

Su Jingci handed the letter to him with a gloomy expression.

The price is only one-third of theirs, and the quality is not inferior at all. If you do business like this, you will definitely not be able to make money.In other words, the behind-the-scenes bosses of these shops are not here to do business, but to smash the market!

Logically, few people should know that these shops belong to him, but for some reason, he always feels that no matter who is behind these new shops, they are all targeting him.

The only one who had a rift between Luo Cheng and him was Su Jingshuo.But he doesn't think Su Jingshuo has this ability, so who is it?
At this time, Jing Qi also finished reading the letter, and his face was also dignified.

"Your Highness, this is clearly here to provoke trouble!" Jing Qi looked at him and said indignantly.

Su Jingci sneered, "It's so blatant, no matter who is behind it, it's really a character."

"Then Your Highness, what should we do now?" Jing Qi worried.

Now that the cooperation with the rice store here has not yet been concluded, but this kind of thing happened in Luocheng, His Highness is probably out of skills.

Su Jingci thought for a moment, then said gloomyly, "My prince brought the mission back to China ahead of schedule, and you secretly stay in Jian'an to see if we can negotiate a cooperation with the rice and grain shop. It’s a big loss. The cloth shop can’t afford it.”

In this case, a trade-off has to be made.On balance, domestic fabric shops are more important.

"Yes, then the subordinate will make arrangements." Jing Qi agreed, saluted and left.

Su Jingci sighed, his eyes fell outside the window, fluctuating slightly, and his mood was as complicated and tangled as the lush branches and leaves.

*
Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and tomorrow, it was time for Emperor Yu to hold a farewell banquet for the envoys from various countries.

In the Scarlet Smoke Hall of Zhaohua Palace.

Song Qingyi leaned on the imperial concubine's couch, her beautiful eyes were swaying, and there were many shadows in her eyes.

Standing beside him was the painting screen, holding a fan made of jade bones and flowers, gently fanning Song Qingyi, seeing the shadow in Song Qingyi's eyes in his eyes, and did not dare to breathe out.

Ever since he came back from Lingyin Temple that day, His Highness has been in a bad mood.She and Hua Shan had no choice but to be cautious in their words and deeds, fearing that if they were not careful, they would offend His Highness again.

"Is the palace costume that I asked you to prepare ready?" Suddenly, Song Qingyi raised her eyes and looked sideways at the painting screen.

Huaping hurriedly agreed, "The embroiderers have been rushing to work overnight these days, and they have already prepared and delivered for His Highness, His Highness, would you like to have a look?" For tomorrow's farewell banquet, His Highness specially ordered them to invite someone to make a new palace costume, which shows that they are very fond of it. Attention to the farewell banquet tomorrow.

It's just... Your Highness seems to have other concerns.

Cautiously glanced at Song Qingyi, and swallowed hard.

It is getting harder and harder to guess what His Highness is thinking.

"No need." Song Qingyi lowered her voice, her eyes darkened, she spoke with a little impatience, then fell silent again, still looking at the scenery outside the window.

Huaping responded, not daring to say more, but still fanning her beside her.

suddenly.

Someone came in through the curtain, accompanied by the familiar voice of Hua Shan, "Your Highness, Sister Xuanji asks to see you."

Song Qinghuan frowned, why did Xuanji come here?

He sat up straight and looked at the painting fan, "Ask her to come in."

As promised, the painting fan exited the hall, and quickly attracted a large number of court ladies to come in.

"My maidservant has seen His Highness." The palace maid who was following behind the painting fan smiled and saluted Song Qingyi.

"Sister Xuanji, don't be too polite, get up quickly." Song Qingyi smiled, and personally stepped forward to help the maid named Xuanji up.She is a confidant maid by the empress's side, so Song Qingyi's treatment of her is naturally somewhat different from that of ordinary court ladies.

"Why is sister Xuanji here free today? But what orders does the queen mother have?" Song Qingyi looked at Xuanji and said with a smile.

Xuanji nodded, "Your Highness really is Huizhi Lanxin. The empress does have something to look for His Highness, please go to Changle Palace."

Song Qingyi's mind moved slightly, and she smiled, "Sister Xuanji, do you know why the queen mother is looking for this palace?" Could it be that the queen mother heard about Wei Yang in Lingyin Temple?
"This servant doesn't know too well. If you want to come to your highness, you will know."

"Then sister Xuanji, please wait a moment, I will go with you after changing clothes." Song Qingyi closed her eyes in deep thought, nodded slightly at Xuanji, and brought the painting screen into the inner hall.

Changle Palace.

The warm sun of midsummer poured into the hall, coating all the displays and furnishings in the hall with a layer of light gold, adding a bit of magnificence.

In front of the head of the chief, sitting alone, wearing a gorgeous palace attire, with a dignified and luxurious expression, is the thoughtful empress.

Hearing footsteps outside the hall, she looked up.

It was Song Qingyi and Xuanji who came in.

"Mother's queen." Song Qingyi walked up to the queen and saluted.

The queen smiled, and pointed to the seat beside her, "Come on, Yi'er, sit next to the queen mother."

Seeing the queen's smile, she didn't seem to be unhappy, Song Qingyi breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and smiled, and obediently walked up to sit beside the queen.

"Tomorrow is the farewell banquet for the missions from all over the world, why is the queen mother free today?" Song Qingyi turned his head to look at the queen, and spoke in a sweet voice.

The smile on the corner of the queen's mouth faded, "The queen mother called you here today, just for the farewell banquet tomorrow."

Song Qingyi looked serious, and also fixed her eyes, "I don't know what orders the queen mother has?"

"At the farewell banquet tomorrow, you should pay close attention to Wu Yang." The empress looked solemn, looking at the eyes in front of her thoughtfully.

Song Qinghuan?
Song Qingyi frowned slightly, she was very well behaved, why did the queen mother ask her to pay attention to Song Qinghuan?
The queen was silent for a moment, and glanced sideways at Song Qingyi, but changed the subject, "I heard that Prime Minister Shen fell off the cliff with her that day."

Hearing this, Song Qingyi's face darkened slightly, and she let out a soft "um", her eyes dimmed a bit.

The queen was thinking about her own thoughts and didn't notice her abnormality, "Do you know the details of what happened that day?"

Song Qingyi was not injured during the trip to Lingyin Temple. The queen also came to see her that day, and she was relieved after confirming that she was fine. She didn't inquire about Shen Chuhan's assassination in detail. Why did she suddenly become interested today?

Song Qingyi was somewhat suspicious, but she still told what she knew in detail.

The queen's eyes dimmed, "Yi'er, why do you think Wu Yang got mixed up with Shen Xiang?"

Hearing the word "disturb", Song Qingyi's heart ached, and she drooped her eyes to suppress the unwillingness and bitterness in her eyes, and tried to calm down, "I heard that those men in black wanted to hold her hostage and threaten Prime Minister Shen."

Suspicion deepened in the queen's eyes.

Holding Song Qinghuan hostage and threatening Shen Chuhan?

Everyone in the world knows that Shen Chuhan has a cold temperament. Let alone whether kidnapping a concubine from another country can really threaten him. In terms of status, Pingyang is much higher than Wuyang, and they are both next door to Shen Chuhan. More valuable?
Qi Menqi was killed at the very beginning, without leaving any room. These men in black obviously came prepared. If they said that they just happened to choose Song Qinghuan, the queen would not believe it.

Her sixth sense told her that there seemed to be something tricky between Shen Chuhan and Song Qinghuan.

What's more, thinking about what happened that night, this sixth sense became even stronger.

Seeing that the empress hadn't spoken to her for a long time, Song Qingyi looked suspiciously, and met her cold and deep eyes, her heart trembled, and she asked cautiously, "Did the empress think of something?"

The queen regained her senses and turned her gaze to Song Qingyi.

Compared with Song Yan, Song Qingyi made her worry a lot.She knew that she was clever and intelligent, and she knew everything, but because of this, there were some things that she didn't want Song Qingyi to touch.

She didn't want Song Qingyi to be too tired.

But now it seems that she still thinks too simply.

After thinking for a while, she finally spoke in a deep voice, "Has Yi'er noticed that since the palace banquet that day, the emperor's attitude towards Song Qinghuan has improved a lot?"

Song Qingyi nodded, which was why she had a faint sense of crisis these days.

"Song Qinghuan's konghou song at the father's birthday banquet that day really changed my father's view of her a lot. Let's say that the trip to Lingyin Temple that day, if it was in the past, when would it be Song Qinghuan's turn to accompany her?" Song Qingyi was indignant Speaking of which, I was quite dissatisfied.

"The trip to Lingyin Temple, I heard that the third prince of Chen Kingdom ordered Wuyang to accompany him." The queen had eyeliners all over the palace, and naturally she couldn't hide such news from her.

Song Qingyi was startled.

She didn't know that there was such a hidden secret in it, and she couldn't help but feel jealous when she heard it at this moment.

What exactly is Song Qinghuan capable of?Shen has an unusual attitude towards her, and the third prince also looks favorably on her?

She wants to be strong in everything, now, how can she be willing to be inferior?
The queen sighed, looked at her quietly and said, "Song Qinghuan's mother, Mrs. Qingxuan, you must have heard of it."

Song Qinghuan looked up, and just caught a glimpse of the loneliness in the Queen's eyes, he was startled, and nodded, feeling mixed emotions in his heart.

She has heard a lot about Mrs. Qingxuan's rumors.Everyone in the world knows that she is the existence that the emperor loves and hates in his heart.However, all the hatred is nothing more than love in the end, which shows how much Mrs. Qingxuan holds in the heart of the emperor.

As for the mother...

She lowered her eyelashes slightly, sighing in her heart.The relationship between the empress mother and the emperor father is really not good, at most it can be regarded as respecting each other as guests.The father gave the queen mother the honor and status she deserved, but he couldn't give her the love she wanted.She also knew that the queen mother actually had a deep love for the emperor father.It's just that the queen mother has always been strong. Since the emperor has no tenderness for her, he can't be ashamed to invite favors.

Now that Song Qinghuan is more and more like Mrs. Qingxuan, if things go on like this, the status of her and the empress will definitely be threatened.

Glancing at the queen's tired eyes, not wanting to add to her worries, she sighed and persuaded, "Queen, Mrs. Qingxuan has long since disappeared, so you don't have to worry too much. With just a little Song Qinghuan, if you want to come There will be no wind and waves."

"No." The queen shook her head, her voice became quieter, and her eyes looking into the distance were a bit misty, "We must not underestimate the enemy." Turning to look at her, he hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "That day After the palace banquet, I sent family members to spy on her secretly."

Song Qinghuan was slightly startled.

Aristocratic families, with a century-old foundation, will always have some dirty and dirty things. The dead warriors cultivated by the major families are their sharpest blades, and they will not be easily unsheathed.As the lord of the harem, the queen mother is as prosperous as the Wei family. Naturally, it is the most valued power of the Wei family, so the family allocated some dead men to serve as the queen mother's dispatch. Unexpectedly... she actually used it on Song Qinghuan !
"Have you found anything unusual?"

"After the palace banquet that day, Song Qinghuan sneaked out of the palace." The queen said.

"What did you say?" Song Qingyi was even more startled.What did Song Qinghuan, the concubine of a country, sneak out of the palace in the middle of the night?She bit her lip and asked suspiciously, "What is she going out of the palace for?"

The queen frowned and shook her head, "I don't know."

Song Qingyi frowned, "Didn't you...send the dead to follow her?"

Annoyance flashed in the queen's eyes, "That day when the dead man found out that Song Qinghuan had sneaked out of the palace, he sent a person to report. I knew that this was the best chance to end her, so I ordered to wait for the opportunity to get rid of Song Qinghuan outside the palace. Unexpectedly..."

"Unexpected what?" Song Qingyi panicked, straightened up and looked at the queen.

"Unexpectedly, none of the three dead men I sent came back, and there was no news about them after the incident, and they were never found again." The queen clenched her fists, her eyes full of darkness.

Song Qingyi took a breath.

The dead soldiers of the Wei family are all selected from a hundred, and they have received rigorous training, and it is absolutely impossible to disappear just by saying they disappear.Taking a step back, if you want to see people, you need to see corpses. Even if they are dead, they shouldn't even find their corpses.

"Has the queen mother sent someone to investigate?"

The queen nodded heavily, "There is no result. The three dead men disappeared strangely, but Song Qinghuan was unscathed, so I think she must be not simple. And..."

"And what?"

"And that night, Prime Minister Shen was also ambushed." There was deep thought and suspicion in the queen's eyes.

Song Qingyi froze in place, feeling a little dazed for a while.That night Song Qinghuan went out of the palace and was ambushed by Prime Minister Shen. Two days ago, the two of them were attacked and jumped off a cliff at the same time. Could it be...?These two events were too coincidental to be doubted.

After contemplating for a moment, she spoke with difficulty, "The queen mother thinks... what is the connection between Song Qinghuan and Shen Xiang?"

The queen looked gloomy, "It's hard to say. After all, Song Qinghuan has never been out of Jian'an, and Prime Minister Shen has such a cold temper. It's just that I always feel that there is something tricky here. Tomorrow's farewell banquet will be attended by diplomatic missions from all over the world, and Song Qinghuan will also Will be there, that's why I told you to pay attention."

Song Qingyi lowered her eyes, and agreed deeply, "Yes, I understand, I will keep an eye on Song Qinghuan."

"Okay." The queen let out a long breath, "With you here, the queen mother will feel more at ease." Looking at Song Qingyi who put her at ease, she couldn't help thinking of Song Yan, and she felt a bit of a headache, and sighed, "If Yan'er is half as sensible as you, so I don't have to worry so much."

"The queen mother doesn't have to worry too much. After all, Yan'er is still young, and when he gets older, he will naturally act more thoughtfully." Song Qingyi expressed relief.

"I hope." The Queen breathed a sigh of relief.

Speaking of Song Yan, Song Qingyi inevitably thought of Wei Yang.That day when Song Yan peeped at her taking a bath, she wanted to tell the queen.Just thinking about it carefully, Wei Yang didn't expose any real troubles, since the empress mother favored him, it was just a gentle warning in the end.Naturally, the less people know about such disgraceful things, the better.

I don't want to, but I'm afraid of something.

The queen picked up a few cups of tea and took a sip, looked at her and said, "By the way, your cousin said that he will enter the palace today."

Song Qingyi frowned in disgust, her tone was a bit cold, "What did he come to the palace for?"

The queen put down the teacup and sighed, "Yi'er, I know you don't like Yang'er, but he is your cousin after all, so don't overdo your attitude towards him."

Song Qingyi curled her lips disapprovingly, "Queen Mother, I see, my cousin was used to it by you and your uncle and aunt, and now he has such a lawless temper, he will suffer a loss one day."

The queen pursed her lips and remained silent, seemingly pensive.

Song Qingyi struck while the iron was hot, "Look at this time, if my cousin hadn't been too playful, how could he have fallen off his horse and lost his leg?"

"That's all, I thought he was the only child of the Wei family, so I didn't want to be too constrained. But now, it seems that Yang'er's flamboyant temperament should be restrained. Today I will talk to him about it."

Seeing that the queen was finally relieved, Song Qingyi also heaved a sigh of relief, and promptly changed the subject, "Last time I went to Lingyin Temple, I happened to meet my cousin, who said that my aunt took him to Master Xu for treatment, and I don't know if it has improved. ?”

The queen said "hmm", "I've also heard about this matter, I just can ask about it later, I hope it can be cured, otherwise..." The queen frowned slightly, showing a slightly worried look.

The Wei family had only such an only son, if they were all lame in the future, what should they do?
After chatting for a while, it came to Song Qingyu.

"The queen mother thinks, why did Prime Minister Shen order Anyang to marry alone?" Song Qingyi never thought about this question.

In terms of status, Song Qingyu couldn't compare to himself.

In terms of the possibility that the royal father would agree, Song Qinghuan was more likely.

The three of them, why did Prime Minister Shen fall in love with Song Qingyu?
"I haven't figured out the reason for this." The queen's eyes darkened, "But no matter what, this matter is a foregone conclusion, there is no possibility of changing it, and we don't need to say more in the future."

"Then... where is the Xun family?"

Liangguo is far away from Yuguo, and the effect of Song Qingyu's marriage to the past may not be as great as marrying a son of a noble family in his own country, so the Xun family was not happy to see it, and they also begged the Wei family and the queen mother in private.

Compared to Song Qingyu, the queen mother of course wanted to get rid of Song Qinghuan, a thorn in her side, as soon as possible, so she didn't shirk it.Who would have thought that things would not develop in the direction that all of them expected in the end.

The queen snorted coldly, "It's just a dog raised by the Wei family. If the master shows kindness, they will be grateful. If the master lets them die, how dare they complain?" His eyebrows and eyes were cold, and his eyes were serious.

Seeing the queen's expression, Song Qingyi sighed slightly in his heart.

Compared with his mother, he is still a little tender after all, if he wants to achieve great things, he must have this kind of aggressive attitude!

"You and Song Qingyu will leave for Liangguo soon. You can go to Liangguo as usual, and you don't have to be too embarrassed. After all, if she can win Emperor Liang's favor, she is very likely to become the queen of Liang and turn against us. It's not beneficial. As for Beauty Xun, once Song Qingyu leaves, she won't have any backing, so she has to rely on me to survive in this harem?"

"The queen mother is right." Song Qingyi agreed, and took a sip from the teacup.

"Okay, let's not talk about these troublesome things." The queen looked at Song Qingyi and smiled, "The queen mother is busy these days, and I haven't had time to get together with you. Today you stay in Changle Palace and have lunch before leaving."

Song Qingyi showed a slight hesitation.

Just now, Empress Cai's mother said that Wei Yang would also come today, but she didn't know when.If possible, she really doesn't want to meet Wei Yang.

Seeing Song Qingyi hesitate, the queen looked at her suspiciously, "What? Is Yi'er doing anything later?"

"No..." Song Qingyi smiled hurriedly, and denied it aloud, "I'm just afraid that the queen mother will prepare for tomorrow's farewell banquet, and I'm afraid I'll disturb you."

The queen waved her hand casually, "I have ordered the people below to do it. There are not many things that I need to do by myself, so I will order the cook to cook some of your favorite dishes."

Song Qingyi collected her thoughts and smiled, "I'm sorry for the empress."

After chatting for a while, seeing that it was almost noon, Song Qingyi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, Wei Yang hadn't come yet at this time, it seemed that he would only enter the palace in the afternoon.She stayed with her mother and left after eating, so she shouldn't be able to meet him.

Soon, a steady stream of exquisite dishes came in, and the table was filled in a short time.

Song Qingyi took the queen and sat down at the table, while Huaping and Fan stood beside the two, ready to prepare dishes for them.Song Qingyi waved at the two of them, "You guys step back first."

Huaping and Huafan agreed, put down the silver chopsticks in their hands, and stepped aside.

"Yi'er eat more, it seems that you have lost weight these days." The queen said kindly.

Song Qingyi agreed, and was about to speak when she heard a loud voice from far outside the hall, "Auntie! Auntie!"

Her eyebrows jumped, she put down the silver chopsticks in her hand, frowned and looked towards the gate of the palace.

The one who appeared at the entrance of the main hall was indeed the devil incarnate she tried to avoid——Wei Yang.

Wei Yang hurriedly entered the palace, saw Song Qingyi was there, he was taken aback for a moment, Fang continued to walk up to the queen and bowed, "Greetings to my aunt."

The queen showed surprise, "Why did Yang'er come here at this time? Have you eaten?"

Wei Yang smiled embarrassedly, "I wanted to come to see my aunt in the morning, but I didn't want to get up late today. My mother told me to come back in the afternoon. I was thinking about my aunt's lunch in the palace, so I hurried over."

The queen looked at him and smiled happily, "You child, your mouth is still so sweet." Turning to look at the maid behind her, she ordered, "Give Mr. Wei an extra seat."

Just before the two of them had dinner, they had already sent out all the little maids in the palace. At this time, there were only Huaping Huafan and Xuanji Liuli, the confidant palace maid next to the empress, left in the palace.

Xuanji and Liuli are already the status of the Grand Palace Maids, so after the Queen gave such an order, it is natural that they should draw the screen and fan.The two were busy, added a chair in front of the table, walked up to Wei Yang and bowed, respectfully inviting him to take a seat.

Wei Yang snorted coldly, rolled his eyes at them, lifted his robe and sat beside the queen.

Seeing Wei Yang's expression, the queen was slightly surprised, looked at him and said, "What's the matter, Yang'er, did these two slaves provoke you?"

Wei Yang didn't make a sound, just gave Song Qingyi a sideways glance, "It's nothing, but these two slaves are probably spoiled by my cousin, and they usually look a little arrogant when they see me, my cousin should discipline me well."

Song Qingyi felt resentful in her heart, but only responded coldly on her face.

Knowing that the two have always been at odds, the queen didn't say much, she just looked at Wei Yang and said with concern, "I heard that your mother took you to Lingyin Temple to seek medical treatment that day, did your legs feel better? "

Wei Yang nodded, and the coldness in his eyes receded a little, "Then Master Xu is not in vain, my legs really feel better."

The queen breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good. Since it's effective, I'll go there a few more times, so as not to cause any problems."

Wei Yang snorted nonchalantly, "The old monk is very fond of Qiao. My mother originally wanted to invite him to stay at the mansion for a while, and return to Lingyin Temple after I healed my leg. My mother promised to help Lingyin Temple. I donated a thousand gold incense money, but this old monk refused without knowing what to do, it really made me mad."

Seeing Wei Yang talking about an old monk, the queen couldn't help but frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Master Liaoxu is an eminent monk who has attained the Tao, even the emperor, and he has personally gone to Lingyin Temple to listen to his lectures, Yanger, you The attitude is really too stubborn."

Wei Yang is used to observing words and expressions, and when he saw the Queen's displeasure, he quickly nodded his head, "Auntie taught me the right thing, and Yang'er was also anxious, wanting to heal his leg as soon as possible, that's why... I will definitely change it in the future, I will definitely change it."

He still has something to ask the queen later, but he has to coax her well.

The queen knew that Wei Yang's crazy temper could not be changed overnight, so she didn't dwell on this mistake, she just picked up the silver chopsticks and signaled Song Qingyi and Wei Yang to start eating.

Wei Yang smiled, and started to eat, saying pleasant things to make the queen happy, and holding a piece of chopsticks for the queen from time to time, being attentive and considerate.

After eating for a while, seeing that the atmosphere was harmonious and the queen was in a good mood, Wei Yang knew the time had come, put down the silver chopsticks in his hand, and looked at the queen solemnly, "Auntie, Yang'er entered the palace today to ask for something. "

"Oh?" The queen raised her eyebrows, motioning for him to continue.

Wei Yang coughed lightly, and tentatively said, "Auntie, Yang'er is not young anymore, and it's time to start a family. Yang'er finally met a girl he liked that day, fell in love with her at first sight, and wanted to marry her, please Aunt is perfect."

The queen's eyes lit up, and she said pleasantly, "Really? Which family's girl is it?" Wei Yang is more than nineteen this year, and he has indeed reached the age of starting a family.It's just that his mind has always been very wild, and he is not willing to settle down easily, and now he has come to beg her in person, who knows which girl is so charming?

Wei Yang glanced guiltily at Song Qingyi, then looked back at the queen, and said, "Yes...it's Empress Wuyang."
