Chapter 225: Rendezvous
Chapter 225: Meet
On August 12, the emperor moved the Forbidden City from the summer palace in Xiyuan.
In front of the procession to return to the palace, there are standard-bearers to open the way, and there are Jin Wuwei to suppress the town, but in just a few tens of miles, but it is mighty, and the people in front of them have not yet left the summer palace after entering the palace gate, and the people who are watching from afar are excitedly pointing and pointing, and the discussion is not stopped.
Song Mo was about to leave the palace on a business trip, but was invited to Cining Palace by Wang Yuan's godson Wang Ge.
Princess Gyeongbokg's biological mother, Concubine Ning, is also there.
Seeing Song Mo come in, she squinted at Song Mo, and whispered a few words to the Queen Mother who was sitting on the Luohan bed with a smile, and the Queen Mother nodded with a smile, cordially beckoned Song Mo over, and asked about Song Mo's family affairs.
On weekdays, I see Concubine Ning Niangniang is gentle and gentle, and she has no idea about acting, but she didn't expect to be so decisive at a critical time, and she just entered the palace and asked the Queen Mother to come here.
It seems that he still underestimated these concubines in the palace!
Song Mo secretly sighed.
He smiled respectfully at the words of the Queen Mother.
The queen and the lady came together.
Seeing Song Mo, the queen mother smiled and nodded at Song Mo, but Concubine Shu was very surprised, seeing Concubine Ning's eyes flash a trace of mockery.
Song Mo didn't want to stand here and be remembered, not to mention that he couldn't have anything to do with these people anymore.
He smiled and saluted, exchanged a few pleasantries, and got up to take his leave.
The queen smiled and watched him leave.
Song Mo walked out of Cining Palace, smiled, and returned to the British Mansion.
Yan Chaoqing told him: "Grandpa Guo handed over the fold early in the morning, and now he goes to the palace to see the emperor." ”
Song Mo said with a smile: "He should have entered the palace to tell the emperor about my relationship with the Dou family." "Otherwise, the emperor's holy decree has come down, but he has been engaged to Dou Zhao, wouldn't the holy decree become a joke - if the Song family and the Dou family quit because of this, the royal family will inevitably have a reputation of forcing ministers to marry another, if the Song family does not quit with the Dou family, then where is the dignity of the royal family?
When the emperor returned to the palace and had just settled down, he heard that Song Yichun asked to see him, thinking that he might become in-laws with him in the future, so he put aside the prince's folds and met Song Yichun first.
But he never expected that Song Yichun came to mail him in a hurry, but it was to ask Song Mo for a few more days off.
"In this way, you and the Dou family have passed the marriage book, and the date of marriage is set for the twenty-fourth of this month?" The emperor leaned on the big kang, but a trace of light flashed in his eyes that seemed to be cloudy due to excessive wine, and his tone was very brisk: "Then aren't you in-law with Dou Yuanji?" This Dou Yuanji, in front of me, did not leak a trace of tone! ”
Song Yichun hurriedly said: "How dare you disturb the emperor's tranquility for the minister's family affairs." ”
The emperor said nothing more and waved his hand.
Song Yichun hurriedly and respectfully retreated.
The emperor's face sank.
Wang Ge walked in with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, please come over and speak." He added, "The queen mother, Concubine Ning, and Concubine Shu are all here." ”
Wang Yuan, who was serving beside him, couldn't help but glared at Wang Ge fiercely.
Wang Ge was stunned.
The emperor had already thrown the fold in his hand on the bookcase.
Song Yichun wiped his sweat, and then went home.
Hearing that Song Mo was back, he instructed the little servant to call Song Mo over.
If Song Mo knew what kind of family business he had set for him, his expression would be very energetic.
Song Yichun couldn't help but smile.
The little servant came back and said, "The prince is out." ”
It seems that he has drunk wine and is slightly drunk, but he has been poured a basin of water on his head.
Song Yichun's expression became stern, and he shouted loudly: "Where did the prince go?" ”
The little guy shuddered, and said honestly: "The little one doesn't know either!" The people over there only said that the prince had gone to see his friends, who was it, and the little one didn't dare to ask......" He muttered, his body shrank involuntarily, looking like he was ready to be beaten.
Song Yichun was so angry that his chest fell together, and after thinking about it, he didn't bother with this little guy in the end.
At this time, Song Mo dodged into the shadow of the flower tree next to him, and when the two night patrol mothers-in-law walked over in a low voice, he picked up a stone from under the flower tree and hit Dou Zhao's window lattice with a "bang".
Dou Zhao's inner room was still lit, but there was no movement for a long time.
Song Mo was not in a hurry, and threw a stone every few breaths.
Dou Zhao was leaning on the head of the bed reading a book, but Su Xin, who was doing needlework on the side, moved in his heart, and quietly opened the window sash a crack, and saw Song Mo standing under the shadow of the tree.
"Miss, the prince is here." She whispered.
Dou Zhao was taken aback.
I thought Song Mo would come over tomorrow morning.
"Ask him to speak in the house!" Dou Zhao said, changed his clothes, and went to the hall where there was no lamp.
Su Xin opened the door for Song Mo.
Song Mo handed Su Xin a box or two and nodded, "Pea yellow in the palace." ”
Su Xin couldn't help but glance at Dou Zhao, bent his knees to thank him, served tea, and retreated.
Song Mo asked Dou Zhao: "What is the urgency you have to find me?" ”
Dou Zhao didn't know what to say for a long time.
Song Mo didn't ask, and sat there quietly waiting for her to speak.
The bright moonlight shone in through the window lattice, sparse as snow.
"I'm sorry." Dou Zhao said guiltily, "When you asked me if I would like to marry me, I knew that Ling Zun would never marry you according to your wishes, so I said that if there is fate, we will naturally become husband and wife......
Under the moonlight, the smart Song Mo's face suddenly turned pale.
He didn't speak for a long time.
Dou Zhao didn't know what to say.
In the silence, she heard Song Mo take a deep breath, said softly, "Got it", and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of this matter." ”
His voice is faint, like the clouds floating around the moon, which will dissipate in the blink of an eye, but it makes people feel an inexplicable firmness, without too much sound or too many expressions, it can make you believe that what he promised will definitely be done, making people feel down-to-earth.
"I'm sorry!" Dou Zhao apologized to Song Mo again, but she didn't know why, but her heart ached faintly, and tears filled her eyes
She hurriedly closed her eyes to stop the tears from falling.
"It's fine." Song Mo didn't look at her at all, but looked at the moon outside the window, and said in a low voice, "It's that I didn't figure it out at the time......
Or maybe he didn't think about it at all!
Song Mo couldn't help but pouted at himself with self-deprecation.
If she divorces herself again, this reputation spreads, and I am afraid it will be difficult to find her in-laws in the future.
She was so smart, how could she not have imagined?
I'm afraid I have other plans, right?
In his mind, Ji Yong's shadow suddenly appeared.
In the past, he had always wondered why the Dou family would allow such a thing as a sister's easy marriage, but now, he seemed to have found the answer.
But soon, he suppressed this thought in his heart.
Or maybe his pride doesn't allow him to keep thinking about it.
It makes him look like a clown.
Song Mo felt bitter and astringent in his heart.
He stood up: "Then I'll go first!" ”
The voice seemed so gentle, and so hypocritical.
Song Mo pursed his lips self-deprecatingly.
Dou Zhao knew that he had hurt Song Mo.
There are some things that there is no way to avoid harm unless she pushes herself.
But sometimes, it hurts more to say something insincere than to tell the truth.
Especially for an arrogant teenager like Song Mo.
"I'm sorry! I just don't want to get married. Dou Zhao stood up, his voice seemed dry, no longer as melodious as usual, calm and self-controlled, "I'll send you away!" ”
Is it?
Song Mo pursed his lips and said, "So as not to be seen and tell the truth." ”
Dou Zhao stood under the eaves, watching Song Mo's footsteps drift away, thinking about the two boxes of snacks, and felt very uncomfortable.
What method would he use to break the marriage between them?
Take advantage of Princess Shang's chance?
What would others say about him?
After he's already saddled with a reputation for wanton killing?
"Song Yantang!" Dou Zhao called him softly, "I'll be unwell early tomorrow morning." You...... Don't do anything......"
What is this?
A sweet date for him?
Song Mo turned around and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that your idea is not very good—my father urgently needs to find me a faulty wife now!" ”
Don't be so wolfish yourself!
Dou Zhao couldn't laugh.
She said solemnly: "Since your father took out 20,000 taels of silver as a dowry, he must not want to tear his face with you." I have a serious disease, and if it spreads, he can't turn a blind eye," she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow as she said this, "Even if he wants to turn a blind eye, I will make it impossible for him to turn a blind eye!" ”
But in this way, what will the elders of the Ji family say?
Dou Zhao's strong self-confidence made Song Mo have a moment of silence.
He thought of the first meeting in the Grange, of her life-saving grace of galloping thousands of miles...... My own worries are really unnecessary.
She's always had her own opinions!
Song Mo felt that he should be relieved, but strangely, he felt a faint sense of loss in his heart.
He smiled and nodded, and turned to leave again.
walked to the middle of the courtyard, but couldn't help but glance back at Dou Zhao.
The moonlight on the eaves divided her face into two parts, her round and white chin, as white as jade; The eyes hidden in the shadows, as deep as a spring, looked at him quietly in the darkness, as if he had turned around for years, and would never be seen again!
Song Mo's heart sank for no reason, remembering what she had just said.
"I just don't want to get married!"
Is that really the case?
Song Mo couldn't help but stride towards Dou Zhao.
He shouldn't be an evasive person.
If it was a wound, he would rather make it deeper than let the confusion grow into a thorn in his heart.
"Dou Zhao," Song Mo stood still in front of her, "do you not want to marry me, or do you just not want to marry?" ”
This is the first person who clearly guessed his plan as above!
Dou Zhao said sincerely: "I don't want to get married. And he said, "Whoever it is!" ”
Song Mo suddenly lit up, shaking Dou Zhao's eyes.
"Why?" He asked, "Why don't you want to get married?" Is it just because it's too hard to get married? Then you have been presiding over the middle feed of Xi Dou all these years, isn't it hard? Won't it be hard for you to survive between your nephews in the future? Why the hell don't you want to get married? The fourth lady of the Dou family I know is not a person who is afraid of difficulties! ”
