Chapter 41: The Rumors
Liu Xinling loves her the most, how could this daughter really lose her temper with her, she was coquettish, "Okay, okay, isn't this worrying about you?"
She saw that there were a lot of supplements on the table, and she was a little puzzled, "Wanyan, look at how come so many expensive supplements on your table, where did they come from?"
Song Wanyan hooked the corners of her mouth proudly, "It was sent by the third prince." ”
"What, good daughter, you tell you honestly, isn't it these three princes......"
Song Wanyan nodded a little shyly.
Liu Xinling was a little happy, "Oh, my good daughter, you are really capable, even Sanhuangzi is tempted by you." She lowered her voice, "If you become the third princess, then we will soar." ”
Knowing that Liu Xinling came to Huguo Temple, Song Shuyan was very happy, and Liu Xinling took care of Song Wanyan, so that she could go back to the Song Mansion. After greeting Song Wanyan's mother and daughter, she took the group and prepared to return to the Song Mansion.
Song Wanyan's mother and daughter have always hated her, so naturally they have no opinion on her leaving.
However, on the way back to the Song Mansion, I encountered a small episode.
On the way, they ran into Shen Zeyuan. Shen Zeyuan told her that the situation in Beijing and China had been unstable recently, and reminded her to be careful.
Song Shuyan heard a feeling of impending a storm from his tone, and wanted to ask a few more words, but Shen Zeyuan refused to speak.
After that, Song Shuyan returned to the Song Mansion in a carriage.
After returning home, Song Shuyan did not rush back to the courtyard to rest, but went to see the old lady first. In the past few days, she has figured it out. In the Song Mansion, she must have a backer to help her resist the assassination of Song Wanyan's mother and daughter.
And this backer is the old lady.
"The granddaughter greets her grandmother. ”
There was a faint smile on the corner of the old lady's mouth, "Get up, you are running all the way, why don't you go to the yard to rest first?"
Song Shuyan said with a smile: "The granddaughter misses her grandmother, and she must see her grandmother before she can feel at ease." After speaking, he personally handed over a sandalwood box to the grandmother beside the old lady.
"Granddaughter Mo prayed for her grandmother day and night in Huguo Temple these days, and copied a volume of Buddhist scriptures by hand. The host knows your heart for worshipping the Buddha and asks your granddaughter to bring you this string of Buddhist beads. ”
The smile on the old lady's face deepened a little, "Oh, it's really rare that you have this heart." Come on, you're tired all the way, go back and rest. ”
Compared with when Song Shuyan first entered the door, the old lady really cares about her now.
In the past few days, Song Shuyan has been chatting with the old lady every day to relieve her boredom. She has a quiet personality, she is not in a hurry, she is not impatient, she does not fight or grab, and the old lady likes her more and more.
On this day, the old lady's grandmother came to invite her to the courtyard for lunch. She didn't dare to delay, cleaned up, and waited for Qingyi to pass.
After arriving at the old lady's courtyard, she found that Song Ling was also there. She knew in her heart that it seemed that the old lady had done it on purpose.
"The granddaughter said hello to her grandmother and her father. ”
Song Ling was not surprised when she saw her, it seemed that she knew that she would come.
The old lady greeted her with a smile, "Come here, sit down and eat." ”
Song Ling glanced at her quietly, it seemed that the old lady liked her eldest daughter very much.
The old lady looked in a good mood, and usually rarely spoke at the dinner table, but today she said a few more words. "Today is rare, your father and daughter eat with me, but let my wife and son also enjoy the joy of family. ”
Song Ling was a little ashamed when she heard this, and immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks, "My son is not filial, and my son should accompany his mother more." ”
The old lady waved her hand, "It's okay, I know you're busy." But you also have to pay more attention to your body, look at your current black green must not have slept well, my mother is a little distressed. ”
"Thank you mother for your concern, there are indeed a lot of things to do these days. Thanks to Mu Xiu today, I was able to accompany my mother to have a meal here. ”
The old lady sighed, "You are the emperor's courtier, so naturally you have to do your best, but you also have to pay attention to your body!"
"Alas, the emperor has been sick these days, so many ministers have some other thoughts. As a result, some things have been delayed, so a lot of things have been spread out on me. ”
Song Shuyan's heart moved when he heard this, the emperor was sick? No wonder Shen Zeyuan said that the situation was unstable before, and told himself to be careful. It seems that the emperor is sick, and the princes can't sit still.
Since ancient times, one emperor and one courtier. Since the emperor is sick, the ministers will definitely find a way out for themselves and think about their own future. It's no wonder that Song Ling goes out early and returns late every day.
I just don't know what Shen Zeyuan will do in the current situation? With her understanding of Shen Zecang, he will never sit still, and he should not be able to hold it back for a long time.
In his previous life, he achieved his wish and became an emperor. It's a pity that she was reborn in this life, and it was naturally impossible for her to let Shen Zecang sit in that position again.
A flash of green suddenly flashed in her eyes, and she would not let go of anyone who hurt her in her previous life. In this life, she came back to take revenge!
Speaking of this, Song Ling asked Song Shuyan, "I heard that Wanyan fell into the water a few days ago and was rescued by the guards of the Seventh Prince?"
Song Shuyan nodded, "Yes, father." On that day, the Seventh Prince and the guards happened to pass by, so they rescued their sister, and they thanked him for it. ”
After speaking, she moved her eyes, and then said: "By the way, speaking of the Seven Princes, we still have to return a gift to the Third Prince." ”
The old lady and Song Ling were both shocked, and looked at her one after another: "What does this matter have to do with the third prince?"
"In the days when my sister was sick, the third prince saw her a few times and sent a lot of supplements. ”
Song Ling was a little displeased, "Wanyan hasn't left the cabinet yet, I'm afraid it will have an impact on her reputation if it continues like this." He sighed, "Our family should have less to do with those two princes." ”
Song Shuyan sensed that something was wrong, but he didn't rush to ask.
Sure enough, without waiting for her to speak, the old lady spoke, "Ling'er, what do you mean by this?"
Song Ling glanced around, and the old lady asked the maids and women in the room to go down.
Song Ling lowered his voice, "Mother, since you asked your son, you won't hide it." Now the strongest forces in the court are the three princes and the seven princes, and the two forces are evenly matched. ”
It seems that the future prince was chosen from among these two.
"Then do you know which prince the emperor prefers?"
Fortunately, in their own house, they are not afraid of these words being heard by outsiders.
Song Ling took a sip of wine and continued: "The Seventh Prince has done things vigorously and resolutely and punished many corrupt officials and corrupt officials, so the emperor cares more about him, but because he is too decisive and touches the interests of some ministers, he ......"
Before the words were finished, the people present understood.
"The three princes treated people gently, so they won the support of public opinion and many ministers, but the emperor ....... ”
Although he didn't say it, the grandparents guessed what he meant. The third prince is insidious and cunning, and on the surface he is generous to others, but in fact, he is very spicy in the mainland, and he will never let go of those who offend him.
Presumably Song Ling also saw it.
"My son is worried that no matter which force we get too close to, the other group will not let us go. ”
