Shi Wei came from the Southern Tang Dynasty back then, which is a well-known thing, even if Empress Song lived in the palace, she should have heard of it.

But why did she ask knowingly, and in the name of the Fourth Highness Zhao Defang.

Shi Wei gradually realized that Empress Song had invited him this time, and there must be something else to do.

When he was secretly speculating, he was busy saying: "Weichen is indeed a Tu Ren clan in Jiangnan." ”

Queen Song nodded, and said with a smile: "People say that the water in the south of the Yangtze River nourishes people, no wonder Shi Aiqing is white and pure, and she looks as beautiful as a girl." ”

It was the first time Shi Wei was described as "delicate", and he felt a little awkward when he heard it, but it was not easy to show it, so he could only laugh at it.

After chatting a few words about Jiangnan customs, Queen Song turned her head and said: "Defang often mentions it to the palace, saying that Shi Aiqing has excellent medical skills and amazing literary talent, and he is a rare talent in the world, and he has a special appreciation for you." ”

Shi Wei now heard what Queen Song meant, she wanted to win herself over for Defang.

The Son of Heaven has two sons, Tokuaki and Defang, which is well known.

Although Empress Song is not the biological mother of these two princes, according to etiquette, the moment she is the queen, she is like the mother of the two princes.

It's just that Queen Song is very young, only one year older than Dezhao, because this age is so close, out of the consideration of avoiding suspicion, the relationship between her and Dezhao should be a little more important.

Relatively speaking, Queen Song is seven years older than Defang, and there is such an age gap, which makes Queen Song a little closer to Defang, so it is rumored in the palace that Queen Song is more inclined to set up the fourth prince Defang as the prince.

Of course, these are just rumors, and Shi Wei has no real evidence.

However, although Defang and Dezhao were named the king of the county together, but when they were last year, Defang's father-in-law was named the envoy of the festival, Shi Wei guessed that the appointment of the Son of Heaven was due to the suppression of Zhao Guangyi on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was very likely that the Empress Song exerted some kind of influence.

Now that he heard that Empress Song opened and closed her mouth and said that it was Defang Defang, Shi Wei was even more convinced that Empress Song really wanted to make Defang the prince.

"Grandma's, just drove away a Zhao Guangyi, and another Zhao Defang came, why did I forget about this ballast......"

Shi Wei complained secretly, but said humbly on his face: "Wei Chen is only a shallow learner, and he is sincerely appreciated by His Royal Highness, but he is really afraid." ”

The more humble he was, the more curious the look on Empress Song's face became.

At that moment, she asked the palace people to bring pen and ink, and said with a smile: "Shi Aiqing, don't be humble, your lyrics have also been seen in this palace, and it is not too much to describe it as stunning and peerless, I don't know if Shi Aiqing can improvise a book today, so that the palace can have a good experience." ”

Let me plagiarize again......

In Shi Wei's memory, in the past few years, he has been running around, and it is rare to have leisure to be elegant, and it has been a long time since he wrote lyrics.

Earlier, he showed his so-called literary talent to outsiders, and people already knew that he had two brushes, and now that Queen Song asked him to compose lyrics, he couldn't hide it.

So he had no choice but to be respectful rather than obey, pick up the pen and dip the ink, meditate for a moment, and happily write the next one.

After writing, Shi Wei held the undried ink treasure in both hands.

Empress Song held the ink treasure in her hand and murmured:

Outside the post on the side of the broken bridge, lonely and ownerless.

It was already dusk and I was alone, and it was even more windy and rainy.

has no intention of fighting for spring, and a group of people are jealous.

Scattered into mud and dust, only fragrant as before.

"Only fragrant, only fragrant as before......"

The last sentence, Queen Song read it several times, and her face was full of amazement.

She looked up at Xiang Shi Wei, her eyes flashing with a look of wonder, as if she couldn't believe that such a stunning work was really written by the young man in front of her.

"Weichen only learns the end of the micro, this time is rare to improvise, this song "Yongmei" is last year under the official with His Majesty to recruit the pseudo-Han, a momentary feeling, made on the road, let the mother see the smile."

Shi Wei behaved quite humbly, and said in his heart, Lao Tzu, I copied all the masterpieces of Mr. Lu You, it's strange if you are not shocked.

Queen Song was born in a famous family, and she was also a woman who read poetry and books, so she couldn't taste the weight of this poem.

She carefully put away the word, and when she looked at Shi Wei again, in addition to being amazed, she seemed to have a little regret.

"No wonder Defang values you so much, Shi Aiqing, you are indeed a rare talent." Empress Song exclaimed.

Shi Wei has endured a lot of praise like this, and he was a little proud at the beginning, but now he can be calm and calm, and his heart is not troubled.

After admiring, Queen Song ordered Shi Wei to change the tea, and to change the best tribute tea in the palace.

Empress Song's courtesy has gone beyond the treatment of an ordinary courtier, which makes Shi Wei more and more uneasy.

After a few small talks, Queen Song suddenly said: "Shi Aiqing, this palace sees that although you are young, you should also pass the age of marriage, I wonder if you have a wife?" ”

Shi Wei was stunned, and couldn't help but think of Zhao Pu, and said in his heart, is gossip also contagious, first Zhao Pu, and now even the queen cares about my private life.

Shi Wei didn't dare to hide it, and truthfully said that he was not married yet.

Hearing this, Queen Song was very happy, and said: "Shi Aiqing is so talented, her vision is naturally very high, it is difficult to match Shi Aiqing in this world, she must be a strange woman, and it is no wonder that Shi Aiqing has not married yet." ”

"Niangniang is really serious, Weichen is a layman, where is the vision, but in recent years, he has been tired by official affairs and has no time to think about personal matters."

Shi Wei said a set, but in his heart he thought where he was with high vision, but because he had too many confidants in the fan, he couldn't bear to hurt that, and he couldn't bear to hurt this, so he kept hanging in the air.

Queen Song smiled, lowered her head and took a few sips of tea, her bright star-like eyes turned and turned, as if something was brewing.

How could her expression escape Shi Wei's observation, which made Shi Wei feel more and more uneasy, and he wanted to see her situation, could it be that she wanted to be like Zhao Pu and also wanted to be a matchmaker for me?

After moistening her throat, Empress Song's expression suddenly became solemn, and she asked, "Yuanzhi, do you know the Marquis of Shuncheng?" ”

Shuncheng Hou?

Shi Wei's mind raced, searching for all the information about this title, and soon remembered this person.

This Marquis of Shuncheng is called Song Yuanhan, and he is the cousin of Queen Song, and he can be regarded as half a national uncle.

She suddenly mentioned her cousin, not knowing what she meant.

Shi Wei said quietly: "The name of the Marquis of Song, how can Weichen not know it. ”

"That's right, the cousin in this palace has a daughter under his knees, sixteen years old, surnamed Shuliang, dignified appearance, and now she is also ......married to Yunying Yun."

As soon as Shi Wei heard this, he said in his heart that it was not good, and sure enough, this Queen Song was talking about the matchmaker.

“…… Bengong just heard Yuanzhi say that you are not married, and the niece of Bengong is also in the boudoir, so Bengong thinks why not be a matchmaker and bring this red line back to you two young people. ”

The more Empress Song spoke, the happier she became, and she couldn't help laughing.

Shi Wei was depressed, if he was a confidante, it would not hurt to have one more, but it would be more troublesome to talk about marriage.

Zhao Pu's case before, Shi Wei has been dragging it out without replying, and now this Queen Song has another incident, which does not make him in a dilemma, and offends people inside and out.

According to the practice of the Great Song Dynasty, it is strictly forbidden for relatives to interfere in politics, if he marries the daughter of the Marquis of Shuncheng, it is equivalent to becoming half a relative, and he will not want to have any development in the future, only to sit and enjoy the rich and eat and wait for death.

So this relative seems to be beautiful, but in fact it is really not interesting.

Shi Wei wanted to push the marriage on the spot, but after thinking about it, Zhao Pu said that if he was offended, he would be offended, but Queen Song couldn't afford to offend her, and it would be bad when the wind blew on the pillow.

What to do? Did you agree?

Shi Wei was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to respond.

Empress Song saw that he was a little distracted, so she subconsciously pressed his hand and said softly: "Yuanzhi, did you hear the words of this palace?" ”

When her soft fingers touched, Shi Wei suddenly woke up from his distraction as if he had been electrocuted.

Looking down, Empress Song's hand was still pressed on the back of his hand.

At this time, Queen Song also seemed to realize that her actions were a little inappropriate, and quickly withdrew her hand, coughed lightly a few times to hide her embarrassment, and a few traces of blush quietly passed over her face.

Her appearance, with the shyness of a girl, made Shi Wei feel a slight shock in his heart.

Shi Wei pressed his mind and laughed at himself: "Thanks to the value of the mother, Weichen is really flattered, but Weichen is from a poor family, how can he be worthy of a famous daughter like Miss Song." ”

Shi Wei used the same excuse he used to deal with Zhao Pu to decline Empress Song's kindness.

"What's the matter if you're cold or not, isn't our saint also from a cold family, but now it's the Ninety-Five, and our Song family doesn't pay much attention to the background."

Empress Song apparently thought that Shi Wei was just a polite and fearful remark, and she soon expressed her appreciation for him again.

Shi Wei is now in a difficult situation.

Queen Song's purpose is very simple, she just wants to win herself over by marrying and digging herself from the corner of Dezhao.

If he agreed to this family matter, it would mean that he had betrayed Dezhao and turned to the camp of the four princes.

Dezhao treats himself very well, Shi Wei really can't bear to turn his back on him, this is not his style. But if he doesn't agree, it will be tantamount to going against Queen Song, which is also what he doesn't want to see.

"Well...... Wechen and Miss Song have never met, but I am afraid that Miss Song will look down on Wechen, and even if they get married, their marriage will be disharmonious, so wouldn't it be a good intention to brush off Niangniang's good intentions. ”

Shi Wei really didn't know how to refuse, so he found such an excuse.

Empress Song thought for a while and said: "Although the parents are in charge of the marriage event, but you can make sense, so let's arrange it in a few days in this palace, so that the two of you juniors can meet." ”

I still want to meet, isn't this asking me to go on a blind date?

Shi Wei smiled bitterly in his heart.
