11. Chapter 11

Before dawn, the nine-year-old little emperor Song Jin got up and changed his clothes by the eunuchs and palace maids around him, and was going to go to the morning court.

Duanwang is the regent, but Song Jin must also go to sit on the dragon chair, even if he dozes off most of the time.

This morning was no exception, Song Qin was discussing with the ministers, and the boy's head on the dragon chair was little by little, and finally he simply yawned, leaned back, gently smashed his mouth, and dozed off again.

The ministers were not surprised, only Wei Zhao, who was standing on the side, frowned slightly, this cousin, he has to teach him well when he turns around, otherwise he will not succeed when he grows up, and the ministers have no reason to defend him. Song Qin has been regent for many years, specializing in excluding dissidents, and how many courtiers remember orthodoxy?

After dispersing the dynasty, Song Qin didn't look at his sleepy-eyed nephew on the throne, and walked straight to the Zhenghe Palace.

Song Jin blinked, as if he had finally woken up, and suddenly called out to him, "Uncle Huang!"

Song Qin paused, turned to look at his nephew who was running over from the dragon chair, "What's the matter?"

The tone was indifferent, as if in his eyes, the male baby in front of him was just a nephew, not the emperor he should bow down to according to the rules.

The little hand in Song Jin's wide sleeve was quickly clenched, his face was still the cramped look he usually faced with the emperor's uncle, and the clear and pure jet-black phoenix eyes looked at the ground nervously as soon as Song Qin was matched, and he lowered his head and said: "Uncle Huang, the queen mother, the queen mother said that Sister Yu is going to be in time, and the Marquis of Jingning is far away in the frontier and cannot come back, and the queen mother wants to perform and perform the ceremony for Sister Yu in the palace." The queen mother invited a lot of ladies, and said that Nuan Nuan likes Sister Yu the most, you see, Sister Yu entered the palace a day in advance to prepare, and the queen mother also took Nuan Nuan into the palace to gather together?"

Wei Zhao didn't expect the little emperor to mention Tang Yu, and quickly glanced at Song Qin.

Song Qin's face was expressionless, and he said coldly: "I'll go back and ask her, and she will go if she wants to." ”

Song Jin raised his head in surprise, "Nuan Nuan will definitely come!"

revealed that the third princess actually liked the palace very much, and she didn't come back because someone didn't let her.

Song Qin stared at the boy for a while, then turned around and left.

Behind him, there was a voice from Song Jin happily talking to Wei Zhao, innocent, Song Qin looked ahead, but his mind drifted elsewhere.

She is about to get married, and she is bent on marrying and even the shame of the girl's family has been left behind and made a private agreement with someone for life, if it weren't for the fact that Jingninghou was not in the capital, I'm afraid the two would have been married a long time ago, right?

But it has nothing to do with him, but the queen mother is too enthusiastic about the third princess, and if she really cares about the third princess so much, she should carefully knock the palace maid she sent to the third princess at the beginning. If it weren't for the Queen Mother's contempt for the third princess, those people would not dare to neglect to take care of it, causing the third princess to get sick, because she was too young and almost died.

Thinking of the rumors outside about the Queen Mother's mistreatment of the third princess, Song Qin was sure that the Queen Mother invited the third princess into the palace several times, just to save her reputation.

Song Qin didn't want his niece to be a pawn, but his niece did like Tang Yu very much.

I went back to the palace in the evening, and saw my niece who ran over after hearing that he was back after a boring day, her watery eyes could almost speak, and begged him to play with her, Song Qin didn't like to coax the child, so she had to send her a good news, "Your sister Yu is going to be in time, do you want to do it in the palace, do you want to enter the palace?"

The third princess's eyes lit up, and she nodded again and again, "Why, when are you going?"

"It seems to be May 12th. ”

The third princess tilted her head, her small mouth moved lightly, and she quickly calculated that she would have to wait eight days to see Sister Yu. Then she was also happy, and sat next to the imperial uncle and asked curiously: "What is the name of Jixuan?"

Song Qin's eyes were slightly cold, "When the girl turned fifteen, she called Ji Xuan, and tied her hair with a flute, indicating that she could get married." ”

The third princess understood, and giggled, "Sister Yu likes Cousin Zhao, and she can finally marry Cousin Zhao." ”

Song Qin's hand that had just picked up the tea bowl paused, took a sip, and asked in a low voice as he put down the tea bowl, "How do you know?"

"Cousin Zhao said it himself, that time we played together, Sister Yu was appreciating peonies, the imperial brother secretly said that he was going to marry Sister Yu when he grew up, Cousin Zhao played him, and said that Sister Yu was his future daughter-in-law......" Halfway through speaking, the third princess suddenly covered her mouth and shook her head and said: "Cousin Zhao instructed us not to tell others, I forgot, then Uncle Huang, don't tell others?"

The girl was delicate and cute, but Song Qin was inexplicably upset and nodded perfunctorily.

The day before her birthday, the Queen Mother sent someone to pick up Tang Yu in the Hou Mansion, and the dress to be worn tomorrow was prepared in the palace, so Tang Yu only brought a few brightly colored homely clothes and led Mo Lan into the palace. Unexpectedly, on the Queen Mother's side, in addition to the Queen Mother, Aunt Tang, Wei Zhao and Song Jin, the three princesses were also there.

"Sister Yu, I miss you so much!" The third princess is very happy today, she always feels that she hasn't seen her for a long time, the queen mother is better to her, the royal brother gave her several gifts, and now she sees the beautiful sister Yu again, and the little girl is even more excited than the New Year.

"The third princess has grown taller. Tang Yu smiled and hugged the girl who rushed over, touched the top of her head, and praised sincerely.

The third princess smiled, holding Tang Yu's hand tightly, reluctant to part. The Queen Mother is also good to her, but after all, it is the Queen Mother, the third princess does not dare to be coquettish with the Queen Mother, Sister Yu is different, gentle and amiable, she can tell Sister Yu if she has any little secrets and troubles, the third princess likes Sister Yu the most.

"Look at you, you're closer than your sisters. The Queen Mother said funny.

Tang Yu looked at the well-behaved and sensible third princess, and really wished that he had such a sister, the one in the family, forget it, don't mention it.

After talking with the two elders for a while, Tang Yu gradually couldn't sit still. Wei Zhao's eyes on the opposite side were as if they were on her, and she could only use it for a while when she stared at him vaguely, so obviously, when the Queen Mother saw it, she would definitely laugh at her again.

"Ah Zhao, why do you always stare at Nuan Nuan?" the Queen Mother did see it, and joked to her nephew.

Tang Yu lowered his head in embarrassment, Wei Zhao was thick-skinned, and said along with the Queen Mother's words: "The third princess is getting better and better, I can't help it." ”

The third princess thought that he was really praising her, and shyly hid in Tang Yu's arms.

The Queen Mother laughed, waved her hand and said, "Okay, okay, don't limit you, you can play wherever you want, remember to come back early for dinner." ”

"I want to go on a boat!" Song Jin was the first to call out where he wanted to go.

The Queen Mother frowned and objected, "No, you're too naughty, I'm afraid you'll fall off." ”

Song Jin pouted, "Then I'll take a look at the fish by the lake, right?"

The queen hesitated, and the Tang family felt sorry for the emperor's nephew, who was at the mercy of others, and helped to speak: "Watch the fish, but you can't be too close to the lake, Yu'er Azhao, one of you takes care of one." ”

Tang Yu nodded, and just spoke, Wei Zhao also promised that nothing would happen, Tang Yu's face turned even redder, and he lowered his head and let him say.

Wei Zhao was anxious to talk to her, said goodbye to the elders, and motioned to the little emperor's nephew to set off immediately. Song Jin called the third princess of Tang Yu by the way, and the four of them walked side by side, the two small ones walked in the middle, and went to the imperial garden with a smile, followed by their respective maids and palace maids, and the last was the guard eunuch.

Quickly walked to the Ming Lake on the east side of the Imperial Garden, and the Queen Mother suddenly sent someone to find Wei Zhao and had something to order.

Wei Zhao looked at Tang Yu with blank eyes.

Tang Yu was also a little reluctant, the two didn't talk much, but they still softly persuaded him to hurry up and get down to business.

Seeing Wei Zhao leave, Tang Yu was about to take a child in one hand, but Song Jin claimed that he had grown up and refused to lead her, so he went around to the third princess to hold his sister. Children like to act as adults, Tang Yu smiled, and when he arrived at the lake, he looked at the two little nobles attentively, and wanted to ask the maids of the Molan Palace to come to him, but Song Jin didn't like to be surrounded by people, so he had to give up.

Fortunately, both children are sensible.

"Nuan Nuan, don't you think these two fish look like us?" Song Jin squatted on the shore and pointed to the koi in the water for the third princess to see.

There were two fish in the water, one big and one small, the third princess looked at it seriously and shook her head, "It's too ugly, I don't want it to be me." The watery black eyes turned away, intending to find the prettiest koi.

Tang Yu bent down and stood behind the two children, supporting one in one hand.

After reading the fish here, Song Jin took the third princess and stood up, and when he got up, he suddenly sneezed loudly, and the person poked his head forward, Tang Yu was startled, and hurriedly supported him with both hands, and Song Jin seemed to be frightened by her, his body shook, he stood firm, but the third princess was planted.

"Sister Yu!" the third princess shouted in fear, instinctively reaching out to grab someone, Tang Yu hurriedly let go of Song Jin to save the third princess, but the third princess fell into the water too quickly, she didn't catch it, the figure next to her flickered, and Song Jin fell down again!

Tang Yu panicked, Song Jin is the emperor, the lifeblood of the queen mother!

Without thinking about it, Tang Yu jumped down, she was tall, and the water on the shore didn't look deep, maybe she could stand up.

Plop and plop, three consecutive sounds of falling water, the palace maids over there were frightened, the queen mother was in a hurry to save the emperor, the two maids in the Duanwang Mansion were in a hurry to save the third princess, Mo Lan was in a hurry to save her own girl, and rushed to the lake, among which the two palace grandmothers ran the fastest, far ahead.

It's just that before they could get close to the lake, a black figure suddenly rushed over from the slanted thorn, and the two grandmothers looked over in shock, and unexpectedly bumped into the regent who was terrifying and deeply feared by the Queen Mother.

The two grandmothers quickly exchanged glances, slowed down slightly, and temporarily jumped out of a regent, for the sake of conservatism, they had to change their plans.

There was another thud, and the regent also fell overboard.

But the previous three people slipped to three places, the third princess Song Jin stood up and didn't have a head, fluttering and struggling farther from the shore, Tang Yu stood up once, saw Song Jin drifting away, she was anxious to get enough people, but the mud under her feet was too slippery, and she was planted in the water again.

Immediately after, Song Qin jumped down, first dragged Tang Yu, who was closest to him, into his arms, and then dragged her to catch the third princess.

The two grandmothers who rushed to the shore first were stunned, the first person the regent saved was the eldest girl of the Tang family?

After the shock, one of them was the first to come back to his senses and hurriedly jumped into the water to save Song Jin, who was snubbed by the regent.
