Song Jin got up early in the morning, freshened up and had breakfast under the service of the little maid, and prepared to go to the open space behind the main hall in the front yard. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info It is a large courtyard connecting the main hall and the study in the front yard, because the horizontal and vertical are more than ten zhang very spacious, and there is no verandah around, and later Song Jin changed it to a place to run horses when he can't go out to ride, and he will be here when he practices martial arts on weekdays, the place is wide, and it is very enjoyable to practice moves.

This time, the competition with the three good players selected in the cabinet is here.

Ah Sheng returned to the capital today and told the queen what had happened to the princess in the past two days, and as for King Ning, Song Jin didn't feel the need to say hello. She has been raised by her mother since she was a child, and the queen has been respectful of King Ning all the year round for unknown reasons.

The queen has two daughters under her knees, the eldest daughter Song Jin, since she was born, the queen has not let others interfere, and the process of raising her is done by herself. Even if he was summoned occasionally, he still did routine work under the reminder of the people around him, and ordered people to retreat after asking a few questions. When Song Jin was called, he basically answered in a fixed mode, and he didn't look up much, and it is estimated that Song Yucheng may not even recognize the appearance of this eldest daughter.

The youngest daughter, Song Li, is the second daughter born in the fourth year of the queen's entry into the palace, three years younger than Song Jin. At that time, King Ning still had hope for the queen, and often went to Chongyang Palace to spend the night. When the queen was pregnant with Song Li, because of Song Jin, who was taking care of chickenpox, she fell ill in bed from overwork, and the child was almost not saved, and she was born prematurely two months early. Therefore, after Song Li was born after the full moon, the queen was like the emperor's request to raise Song Li under the name of Yu Guifei, who assisted in the affairs of the harem. Concubine Yu has no children all the year round, and her virtue is also very good, so the emperor agreed, and when she saw Song Li every day, she liked it more and more, which is why now King Ning and Song Jin are much more rusty than Song Li.

The sky in the capital is also gloomy, the green tile glazed eaves under the cold wind rattle, the chamberlains and palace maids in the imperial city of Ningguo have gathered their cuffs, tightened their bodies and hurried back and forth, even if the winter coat with cotton is sandwiched, it still seems to be blown through from the inside out. There are palace maids who stopped to comb their hair because their well-groomed hair was messy by the wind, and then left in a hurry.

The palace gate in the southwest corner of the imperial city opened unobtrusively, and a woman on horseback came in outside, dressed in dust and dust, but her expression was far from peaceful. With her eyes on her face, she jumped off her horse neatly, handed the reins to the chamberlain at the steed, and walked quickly to the Chongyang Palace, not far southwest of the imperial city, where the door was quickly closed behind her.

Mu Qingrong put down the "Historical Records" in his hand, carefully inserted the orchid-shaped bookmark of sandalwood on the page he was reading, cleaned his hands, unfolded the red fox skin that had just been sent by the Imperial Palace, picked it up and looked at it carefully. This red fox fur was hunted in the nearby mountains when Jin'er accompanied her to the hot spring Zhuangzi last time. In autumn, when everything is abundant, and the herbivores are full, the foxes that feed on them also eat very bright, red and straight, and gradually thicken from head to tail, like a burning cloud.

This one is good to make a bib of the same color and the same color for Li'er, she is young and lively, and this red fox fur is just right.

Just thinking about it, the housekeeper's aunt Rongyu came in, walked into the warm pavilion on the west side of the main room of the Chongyang Palace, curtsied at Mu Qingrong, and said with a smile: "Queen, Ah Sheng is back, waiting outside." ”

Mu Qingrong raised her head and looked at Rongyu suspiciously: "What's the matter, Jin'er didn't come back?" ”

Rong Yu couldn't figure it out, and said again: "The slave is also strange about this matter, looking at what Ah Sheng means, it seems that there is something to report to you...... why don't you let Ah Sheng come in and ask first?" ”

Mu Qingrong nodded, folded the red fox fur and put it aside, put his hand on the table next to him, and pondered.

Soon, Ah Sheng, who had returned to the dress of a first-class maid after grooming, walked in gently, and after saluting the queen, she stood up and stood aside respectfully, Mu Qingrong's thoughts were interrupted, and she returned here and asked Ah Sheng to tell her what had happened in the past two days.

After listening to Ah Sheng's narration, Mu Qingrong frowned slightly: "You said that those assassins coerced those sons to hand over the 'talismans' and 'documents'?" ”

Ah Sheng nodded yes.

Mu Qingrong didn't understand a little, if this time was related to Ningguo, the most dynamic should be the western Tule, and the battle for the heir of the Great Khan ended quickly. In the end, the eldest son of the Khan's Da Yan clan and the third son of the Khan, Oser Tonnar, defeated other competitors and ascended to the throne, this time the invasion of Ningguo was led by his younger brother of the same mother, Prince Ulan Tonal, and his descendant's Eagle Eye Army, with strict military discipline, fast troops, and excellent equipment, was one of the most powerful sharp knives in the Tule army.

According to the information, he is now leading the main army of Turle to march towards Rongyue, having just crossed the Bacha Mountains and has not yet reached the Jinsha River.

If the assassins who were not sent by the assassins the night before were not sent by the Turks, and the people who were plotted against had nothing to do with the Turks, then according to the current situation, the only one who had the motives and must be active in the Ning State could only be the Wei State, which had always been in contact with the Turle and had ambitions for the Ning Kingdom.

But if it was just the Wei State, how could they possibly learn about the top-secret whereabouts of those people without the help of the Wei Pavilion? What's more, the Pavilion is not omnipotent, and they may not be able to know many things.

Regarding the identities of the people who were plotted by them, Mu Qingrong already had a rough guess in his heart.

She thought about it for a while, then raised her head and instructed the former steward of the Yunyun Pavilion who was standing silently next to her: "Rongyu, you go find someone from the palace and ask him to find an opportunity to contact the outside to find out, the prince of the Hanyan Pavilion has not been in the pavilion recently." If you find anything unusual in the hotel, reply to me quickly, and you can't expose Jin'er because they wantonly search people. ”

Rong Yu saluted without any hesitation and turned to leave. The queen put her hand on her forehead and rubbed it, thought about it for a long time and remembered something, closed her eyes and struggled for a while, but still ordered: "Go and invite the emperor and say that I have something important to discuss with him." ”

When Song Yucheng walked to the door of Chongyang Palace, he stopped unconsciously. It's been a long time since I've been here.

I still remember the last time I came was in the spring two years ago, the pear blossoms were all over the garden, blooming all over the front yard, the warm and humid breeze of Ningguo was blowing, and the garden was full of white pear petals.

That day he had just gone down to the court, that year's Guozuo had a great luck, the routine spring flood did not harm the grange and towns of the Huangyuhe generation, the tax of a year could be guaranteed, the salt and tea in the south were all set by the people, and the household reform was also carried out smoothly, and he was extremely high-spirited.

Walking around the palace, perhaps subconsciously, perhaps unintentionally, by the time he found out, he had arrived at the gate of this gorgeous and cold palace that contained the regret of his life.

Now that he thinks about it, he wants to show her his political achievements, even if she doesn't care, he still wants her to see her success, wants her to know her efforts, or most wants to be recognized by her.

But the final result of that meeting still made him angry and frustrated to leave again.

It was from that time that he never set foot here again.

In his heart, this is not only the place where she lives, but also hides the history he is most unwilling to look back on in this life, the most humble self, and her deepest resentment, and the sharpest indifference.

When he heard someone reply that the queen had invited him, he really thought that he had heard it wrong, and since eighteen years ago, he no longer had the luxury of expecting this day. Because he was afraid that it would be a dream, he hurried here, but when he arrived at the door, he was a little homesick.

The old man beside him saw his master's thoughts, and followed with a smile to help Song Yucheng get dressed properly, and dusted off the dust that was almost invisible on his body, before bowing to King Ning, and happily invited Song Yucheng: "The queen's Chongyang Palace has arrived, Your Majesty, please come in, don't let the queen wait." ”

Song Yucheng came back to his senses at this time, with a nervous excitement on his face, and the whole person seemed to be much younger, like a young man.

He nodded kindly at the old eunuch, looked up at the plaque, and finally walked slowly into this quiet and leisurely palace.
