Empress please be more ruthless

Chapter 167 The Grand Finale (3)
With a big hand gently stroking her shoulder, Song Qingtong snuggled into his arms, the curtain was gently closed, and the candles in the hall turned red.

Three days later.

In Jingde Palace, Song Qingtong sat on the floor in front of the tea table, admiring Shangguan Lianyue's dazzling tea making techniques in his eyes, smelling the rich tea fragrance in his nose, and was already intoxicated before tasting the tea. Of course, she came to him There is business.

On New Year's Eve, she swore in front of Leng Junxie that she would take down Xiao Yu. It was easy to say but not easy to do. The only feasible way was to treat him in the same way. It's a beauty trick, but it's really difficult for her to choose a marriage partner. Last time Xiao Yu selected Dongfang Rui's granddaughter Leng Hongling in the picture album as a marriage partner.

Yesterday, Leng Hongling boarded the Golden Luan Hall and offered to make peace with the Liao Kingdom. Song Qingtong was deeply surprised, and watched with cold eyes. Leng Hongling behaved gracefully and decently in the hall. Rui tried her best to recommend it, but she would not send Leng Hongling to make a kiss.

"Queen, I heard that one of your subordinates is good at disguise. I would like to send a woman to Liao Kingdom to make a marriage." To be precise, she wanted to send a woman who is good at martial arts to disguise herself as Leng Hongling.

Shangguan Lianyue raised her eyes and glanced at Song Qingtong, her eyes flickered, "I think that the emperor doesn't need to go to such lengths."

Song Qingtong was slightly taken aback, he has a solution?Ask: "What does the queen think?"

Shangguan Lianyue handed the brewed tea to Song Qingtong, and replied: "Leng Hongling is one of the top ten beauties in the capital. She is smart and talented and has practiced martial arts since she was a child. Her martial arts skills are not inferior to her beauty."

Song Qingtong's eyes sparkled when he heard the words, and according to what Shangguan Lianyue said, Leng Hongling was the best candidate for a marriage, let alone being handpicked by Xiao Yu.However, her joyful heart sank immediately. Leng Hongling was Leng Junxie's cousin, and she was sent to marry her. She was sorry for Leng Junxie, and this was not feasible.

Seeing that Song Qingtong was still frowning, Shangguan Lianyue smiled slightly: "I heard that Leng Hongling has always had great ambitions and practiced martial arts hard since she was a child. Even if the emperor recovers her martial arts now, she may not be able to defeat her."

Song Qingtong was startled for a moment, his face quickly turned black, and his eyes were fixed on Shangguan Lianyue. No matter how he opened or closed his mouth, he was always cold and Hongling, and he knew her so well, so he said nonchalantly: "It seems that the queen is very interested in her." Miss Leng is very fond of her, why don't I hand-pick her to you?"

The smile on Shangguan Lianyue's face couldn't help but deepen. Could he interpret her words as...she was jealous?But Song Qingtong changed the subject: "It's a pity, she is Ah Xie's sister, I won't wrong her, you, a man who has lost his virginity, must not be worthy of her."

This time it was Shangguan Lianyue's turn to turn black and lose her body?It is too inappropriate to describe him as an imposing man!In fact, Shangguan Lianyue forgot that this sentence originally came from him.

Shangguan Lianyue managed to recover from this, silently shook the teacup in her hand, skimmed off the tea foam, and said leisurely: "If the emperor is really worried, he can send someone to protect her every step of the way."

Song Qingtong nodded. She still needs to consult Leng Junxie for her opinion, and she also needs to send a letter to the Liao Kingdom to make proper arrangements.

She lowered her head and took a sip of tea. This was not the only thing that caused her a headache. Chi Xiao and Yu Chang led a team to search the valley that day, but they did not find half a piece of drawing paper. There has been no trace of robbers in the past two days. Shui Jing went back to the Taoist temple to make alchemy. Before leaving, she told her about Chengguan's abnormality in the valley that night, which made her suspect that the gang of robbers had something to do with Zisha.

"About the robbers that day, who does the queen think they are?"

Shangguan Lianyue pondered for a while, and said: "I suspect that they are Prince Qing's people, but it is still unclear what purpose they have."

Song Qingtong frowned, and almost forgot about King Qing. An idea flashed through her mind quickly, but it was too fast for her to grasp. Everything seemed to revolve around Cheng Guan. Although she knew Cheng Guan was innocent, she still He ordered people to secretly monitor, and strengthened defenses around the capital. King Qing would always be a hidden danger, including Zisha!
Back in the bedroom, Song Qingtong called out Chengying and Zhanlu, and ordered: "Go to the government school and choose ten smart, studious children who are suitable for martial arts training for me, between the ages of six and ten." There are too few people she can trust. However, Chi Xiao and the others were given to her by Chu Tianmo, it's time to cultivate their own power.

A few days later, Chengying and Zhanlu led ten children to Song Qingtong's dormitory. The ten children stood in a row in front of Song Qingtong. Among them, the youngest child has a cute little face, big eyes with upturned tails, and dark pupils that look very energetic, but he seems to be less than six years old.

Song Qingtong asked the child: "What's your name, how old are you?"

The child rolled his eyes, and replied crisply: "Back to the emperor, the villain's name is Jin He, and he is five years old."

Cheng Ying hurriedly said: "Master, my subordinates see that he is extraordinary and is a material for martial arts, so I took my own initiative to bring him to see the emperor."

Song Qingtong nodded, looking at Jin He couldn't help smiling, seeing that although he was young, he was well-spoken without stage fright, and he must have a limitless future.

Jin He blinked, probably feeling that Song Qingtong was not as scary as the rumors, and the last trace of nervousness in his heart disappeared, "Your Majesty, Jin He has a request."

Song Qingtong found this child more and more cute, and smiled gently: "Please tell me."

Jin He said earnestly: "Jin He hopes to use his spare time to practice martial arts, so that he can become an all-rounder in civil and military affairs and serve the emperor in the future."

Zhanlu glanced at Chengying as expected, Chengying's forehead was sweating, and now he regretted listening to Zhanlu's advice. This kid is too elf, it seems that he is not suitable to be a secret guard.

Song Qingtong's smile deepened, this kid was not only clever but also very ambitious, he loved him from the bottom of his heart, and told Chengying Zhanlu that although these children were to be trained as secret guards, they should not waste their studies.

Cheng Ying Zhan Lu Nuo Nuo responded, and exhaled at the same time, it seems that the emperor likes this child very much, and they should focus on training him.

Time flies, and in the past three months, the ice and snow have melted, and spring has returned to the earth.

On this day, Song Qingtong left the morning court and went to the imperial study room first on a dragon chariot. Shangguan Lianyue was still sitting on the grand teacher's chair to review the memorial as usual. Ying exited the imperial study room, Song Qingtong supported Shangguan Lianyue's arm, and walked slowly to the dragon chair and sat down. The baby in her stomach is more than six months old now, she is usually extra careful, and her work and rest are very regular.Now, she can often feel fetal movement, and the baby looks healthy, as Shui Jing said.
