Chapter 144: Calculation

After talking about the medicinal materials, Gonggong Liu said to Song Yuanyu again: "Your Majesty, the old slave met Concubine Sun Guifei when he came back from the treasury just now. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info The concubine didn't come over when she heard that Lord Shen was here with the emperor, so she asked the old slave to tell the emperor that the invitations to the lotus banquet had been sent out, and the west pool of the Imperial Forest Garden was also ready. Q: Will the emperor go then? ”

Song Yuan said: "I'm afraid that I will have a headache, so I won't go." You go and talk to the concubine. ”

Gonggong Liu was ordered to go to Jingyang Palace, and Song Yuan turned his face to Shen Ce and said, "Did Concubine Sun give you an invitation?" You'll have to check it out! You're not too young anymore, it's time to find out what you're doing! Your father is not in Beijing, so whoever you fancy can just tell me that I am in charge of you! ”

Shen Ce just didn't hear his words, and put the chess pieces in his hand on the chessboard with an expressionless face: "Your Majesty, it's your turn." ”

Song Yuan couldn't help but sigh when he saw him like this again.

Shen San, this kid, is quite thick-skinned when he is at other times, that is, he is shy when it comes to family affairs, and always talks about him in his left and right ears.

No, I have to think of a way, otherwise Shen Xian will definitely have to be anxious with me when he comes back!

Thinking so, Song Yuan rolled his eyelids and glanced at Shen Ce, pinching the chess pieces and groaning.

First of all, I have to get him to the lotus banquet, and I'm afraid that this matter will have to fall on Xiaoba......

The Imperial Garden is a royal garden located in the west of the city.

The garden is beautiful and the architecture is magnificent. In particular, a pond in the garden, spring flowers are like brocade, willows are like smoke, birds perch on the side of the pond trees, butterflies dance among the flowers. In summer, it is another scenery of "water chestnut leaves lingering in the lotus wind, and the boat passes through the depths of the lotus".

When Empress Xian and Empress Li were there, when the lotus flowers were in full bloom every summer, a lotus banquet would be held, inviting the noble ladies and ladies in the capital to the West Pond to enjoy the flowers and listen to the lotus, frolic and have fun, which was an important gathering method for the royal family and the officials to have fun and connect with each other.

After the death of Empress Li, there was no owner in the harem, and the party was temporarily suspended.

Two days ago, Song Yuan's head disease improved after taking the medicine given by Shen Ce, so he went to the Imperial Garden to relax, and saw the lotus flowers blooming in the Imperial Pond and sighed: "Although this pool of lotus flowers blooms well, it is not as good as the scenery over there in the West Pond!" ”

Sun Guifei, who was accompanying her next to her, couldn't help but move when she heard this, and took advantage of the situation to say: "Your Majesty, speaking of the death of the queen's sister, the West Pond of the Imperial Forest Garden has not held a lotus banquet for two years, and the concubines have now forgotten what the daughters of those ministers look like." Don't say anything else, the princes are like a year old, is this family affair going to look at each other? What do you say, Your Majesty? ”

These words were right in Song Yuan's mind.

He is now nearly half a hundred years old, he has many sons, but there are few grandsons, and the only one is still locked up in Nangong, and it is rare to see him in leisure.

When the queen died, the second Song Ke was fifteen years old, the third Song Heng was fourteen years old, the fourth Song Min and the fifth Song Qi were all thirteen years old, and their ages were all fine. When the queen died, Song Heng naturally had to keep three years of filial piety, but Song Ke and other princes only needed to keep the system for one year.

But at that time, I didn't know what Song Ke planned in his heart, and he insisted on keeping the system for the queen for three years. The Great Zhou Dynasty advocated filial piety, and Song Yuan agreed. It's just that in this way, Song Min and Song Qi can only follow the great filial piety.

Three years have passed, Song Ke has reached the age of eighteen, and the next few have also reached the age, but now there is not even a single marriage, let alone the granddaughter of Emperor Song Yuan.

Sun Guifei has been with Song Yuan for a long time, and she has also figured out his thoughts, so she will say that just now.

In fact, she had the intention of choosing a concubine for Song Ke at the lotus banquet, but she wanted to take advantage of the lotus banquet to show her face and take the position of being the head of the palace for herself.

The queen has been dead for two years, and the emperor has not yet established a middle palace, and he ...... Is it possible to go up a liter? If the emperor is willing to let him preside over the Xichi lotus banquet this time, does that mean ...... Sun Guifei thought in her heart, and her blood couldn't help but boil a little.

Song Yuan didn't seem to think about what the lotus banquet in the West Pond of the Imperial Forest Garden had to do with the queen's canonization, and he was only worried about his sons' family affairs, so he agreed to Sun Guifei's proposal.

"So, let's do it. When the time comes, you pay attention to whose girl is good, and pick a few good ones for the second and third children, and it's time for you! ”

"The emperor said...... The concubine ......, "Seeing that the emperor really let him organize a lotus banquet, Sun Guifei was so excited that she didn't know what to say, so she agreed to come down again and again.

"When the concubine goes back, let people prepare!"

Returning to Jingyang Palace from the Imperial Garden, Concubine Sun Guifei immediately asked Fang Ruo, the personal palace maid, to sort out the list, write an invitation post, and asked Song Ke to enter the palace to see her immediately.

"Du Xing relied on the emperor's attention, Su Ri didn't take you and me seriously, and the concubine mentioned your marriage to Du Ruoheng to him several times, but he shirked it. Now that the emperor has asked his mother concubine to preside over the lotus banquet, he has to take advantage of this time to arrange this matter. Sun Guifei said to Song Ke.

Song Ke was very disapproving of Du Xing: "He has always been treacherous, and he knows that his father is too close to the minister and the prince, so he deliberately refuses to marry his father." In fact, he didn't think about clinging to it in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have delayed it until now, and he hadn't married Du Ruoheng! ”

Du Ruoheng has already reached the line, but now the family matter has not yet been decided. Although Duchenne said to the outside world that he loved his young daughter, he would stay for two more years. But that word is just to fool others, how can Song Ke believe it?

Sun Guifei naturally didn't believe it, sighed and said: "That being said, he bites it to death and doesn't let go, and we have no way." Fortunately, the emperor let go this time and asked the mother concubine to choose a concubine for you at the lotus banquet, and then the mother concubine will take the opportunity to talk to Mrs. Du. Come back and propose to Duchenne again, see what he will say this time? ”

Song Ke snorted and said, "In my opinion, you have to use extraordinary means to deal with Duchen!" Mother wait, I have my own way to get him to agree to this family affair! ”

Sun Guifei hurriedly said: "You don't want to come nonsense! Du Xing has followed the emperor for many years and won the emperor's trust and dependence, and now half of the ministers in the court and the central government have to act according to his eyes. If we offend him, it will be difficult for us to do things in the future! ”

When Song Ke heard her words, his face was a little gloomy: "No matter how much he has the trust of his father, he is just a courtier in the end!" I've put up with him for so long, do I still have to see his face? ”

Sun Guifei was a little anxious: "Ke'er! Have you forgotten all the words that your mother said to you before? Patience is only temporary, and we are planning for the future. ”

This Song Ke naturally knew that if it wasn't for the sake of plotting in the future, how could he be like Du Ruoheng in his eyes?

"My son has his own measure." Song Ke said with a calm face.

Thinking that she had tried her best to please Du Ruoheng, but all she had in mind was Shen San, Song Ke's anger couldn't help but rise.

But for now, he can only endure it.

Don't worry, when you get your thing done, there will naturally be a good place for Shen San, and even Du Ruoheng will be ......

Song Ke sneered twice in his heart, stood up and said, "My son made an appointment to talk about things, and my mother looked at the arrangement of the lotus banquet by herself." ”

Sun Guifei called him here to give him a breath and let him know in his heart.

After saying this, she nodded and let him go, but she couldn't help but admonish: "You have to remember that you must not act rashly in everything, but act with a plan." ”

Song Ke was noncommittal to her words, and left the palace without looking back.
