Chapter 311: A Misunderstanding?
Cao Song led the horse to send Princess Shoukang to the palace, although his legs and feet were still a little weak, he still forced himself to walk very steadily at every step, so as not to be seen by Princess Shoukang and laugh at him. However, thinking of the scene of following Princess Shoukang to gallop on a horse this afternoon, Cao Song still felt palpitations, since he was trampled by a horse when he was a child, it was the first time he rode a horse so desperately.
"Xiao Jiu, your watch is good today, although the riding skills are still very bad, but at least you don't shout like last time, I will teach you again when I have the opportunity in the future!" After entering the palace, Princess Shoukang patted Cao Song's shoulder and laughed.
"Hehe, these are all good taught by the princess!" Cao Songqiang squeezed out a smile and said, just thinking that he would have to ride with Princess Shoukang in the future, the smile on his face became very ugly, and thanks to Princess Shoukang, who has always been a big grin, he didn't notice the expression on Cao Song's face at all.
"Okay, I'll go back and rest, thank you for today's events!" Princess Shoukang said and turned around and entered the inner house, Cao Song watched Princess Shoukang's back disappear behind the shadow wall, and the strong breath finally dispersed, and the whole person suddenly collapsed to the ground, startling the people in the palace who passed by, and hurriedly helped him up, after all, everyone in the palace knew Cao Song.
"I'm fine, help me to the front hall to rest, and don't mention today's incident to anyone, especially Princess Shoukang, do you know?" Cao Song took a few breaths, and finally told the servant that he didn't want to spread his wolf appearance to Princess Shoukang's ears.
"The little one understands, you can rest assured!" The servant who helped Cao Song up was also very clever. He immediately nodded in agreement. Seeing that the other party was so interested, Cao Song was not stingy, took out a gold leaf from his arms, and stuffed it directly into the other party's hand, and as a result, the servant was happy to bloom, and once again pointed to heaven and swore that even if his dead old lady asked him in a dream, he would never say it, and then very diligently helped Cao Song to the front hall to rest, and also gave a cup of fragrant tea.
Cao Song sat in the hall and rested for a while, and drank two more sips of tea. That's how much better it feels. But then he reached out and touched his inner thighs, and now they were swollen from the saddle, and his legs were sore and numb, like two noodles. I can't use my strength at all. It is estimated that you will have to rest for two days to recover.
Cao Song sat for a while. Feeling some strength in his legs, he stood up on the table and prepared to go back. However, as soon as he walked to the door of the living room, Zhao Yan and Cao Ying didn't know where to turn out, and suddenly stopped him and said, "Brother Jiu'er, where did you come back from?" β
Seeing that Zhao Yan and Cao Ying both had smiling expressions on their faces, as if they had all the qiΔ in their hands, Cao Song suddenly felt nervous, and immediately stammered: "Huh...... Hehe, I ...... I just came back from riding a horse with Princess Shoukang, and now I am about to go back, but I didn't expect to meet the third brother and cousin? β
"Oh? My third sister and I went out for horseback riding? Zhao Yan looked at Cao Song with slanted eyes at this time, and then said, "How is it, did you have fun with the third sister today?" β
"Hehe, it's okay!" Cao Song said with a dry smile, he always felt that he was now being interrogated by Zhao Yan and them like a prisoner, which made him very uncomfortable, and then he said, "Third brother, cousin, if it's okay, I'll leave first, there are still some business matters at home that I need to deal with." β
Cao Song wanted to leave again as he spoke, but he didn't expect Zhao Yan to grab his arm and say, "Brother Jiu, don't be in a hurry to leave, your cousin and I still have a lot to ask you!" β
Seeing that Zhao Yan didn't let go of himself, and even his cousin Cao Ying didn't help himself, this made Cao Song smile bitterly, it seems that he can't escape today, and finally under Zhao Yan's pull, he can only go back to the hall and sit down, and then he saw Zhao Yan and Cao Ying sitting in front of him, really putting on a posture of interrogating prisoners, staring at him up and down with four eyes, and looking at Cao Song's whole body.
"Third brother, fourth sister, what do you two want to know, just ask, don't stare at me with such eyes, okay?" Cao Song couldn't stand it anymore in the end, and said with a bitter face at the moment.
"Be lenient in confession, strict in resistance, now let me ask you, what is the relationship between you and the third sister?" Zhao Yan directly took out the mantra of the interrogation of the later generations and asked with a stern face.
"What else can I have to do with Princess Shoukang? Friends, of course! Cao Song replied with an innocent face.
"Nonsense, on the day of the Shangyuan Festival, you saw the third sister and they not only ran away, but also took the initiative to come over, this is not like your temperament, in addition, you are obviously afraid of riding a horse, but today you asked the third sister to ride a horse, doesn't this explain the problem?" Cao Ying also opened her mouth to question at this time.
"Haha, it turns out that you are speculating because of these things!" Cao Song suddenly laughed when he heard Zhao Yan and Cao Ying's words, and only after a while did he continue, "The reason why I have been close to Princess Shoukang these days is because the princess and I have some business dealings, and the princess didn't want me to sue others, but in order to prevent you from thinking about it, I decided to sue you, so as not to ruin the princess's reputation!" β
"What...... What kind of business dealings? Zhao Yan and Cao Ying were confused when they heard Cao Song's words, and they really couldn't understand what his words meant.
Seeing Zhao Yan and Cao Ying's confused appearance, Cao Song showed a smug expression, and immediately explained: "That's the case, the princess suddenly had a whim during this time, and with the help of Princess Dening's way, she transported some of the goods purchased overseas to the capital to sell, and for this reason, she also opened a shop called Zhenqi Zhai, specializing in selling these overseas rare goods......"
With Cao Song's narration, Zhao Yan and Cao Ying finally understood what the so-called business dealings meant, it turned out that after Princess Shoukang opened Zhenqi Zhai, she sent an old palace maid around her to take care of it, but this old palace maid has lived in the palace for most of her life, and she knows everything about the palace, but she doesn't know how to do business at all.
Princess Shoukang has not yet married, and she can only receive monthly money from the palace every month, the amount is actually very limited, and she can't stand the compensation of Zhenqi Zhai at all, and Princess Shoukang loves face and doesn't want too many people to know about it, so even Princess Bao'an and Zhao Yan didn't sue sΓΉ, and they have been holding on to their own private money.
It happened that day when he met Cao Song during the Yuan Festival, Princess Shoukang suddenly thought that Cao Song was now helping the family take care of business, so he asked Cao Song to help him take a look at what went wrong with Zhenqizhai, during this time he went out with Princess Shoukang, nominally to play, but in fact, he helped Princess Shoukang to watch the shop, for example, today they are going to ride horses, in fact, the first half of the day is in Zhenqizhai, only the last two hours to go outside the city to play for a while.
After Zhao Yan and Cao Ying listened to Cao Song's story, they both looked at each other, but they didn't expect this to be a misunderstanding. Seeing Zhao Yan's expression, Cao Song smiled proudly and said, "Now you understand, since there is nothing to do, then I will leave first." β
Cao Song said that he stood up and was about to leave, but at this time, Cao Ying suddenly said: "No, even if you want to help the third sister, but your ninth brother's character will definitely not be so positive, and even took the initiative to find the third sister again and again, and today is even going to ride a horse, this is not like what you can do with the ninth brother." β
After Cao Ying's reminder, Zhao Yan finally came to his senses, and immediately stroked his palms and laughed: "What the lady said is right, Brother Jiu'er, you are helping the third sister to do business and accompanying her to play, spending so much effort to please my third sister, you must not have any good intentions, don't you give me a quick recruit from the truth?" β
"I'm a friend of Princess Shoukang, so naturally I want to do some friendship, don't think about it crookedly, okay!" Cao Song looked a little annoyed at this time, but Cao Ying and Zhao Yan both saw that there was actually some weakness behind his annoyance.
"Giggles, Brother Jiu'er, don't you say yes, okay, I'll go back to my parents' house tomorrow, and then have a good chat with my aunt!" Cao Ying suddenly smiled very happily at this time, for Cao Song, she has her own killer feature.
"Don't~ Don't! Fourth sister, don't talk nonsense! As soon as Cao Song heard that Cao Ying was going back to talk to his mother, this made him immediately coaxed, if this matter reached the ears of his parents, the consequences would be unimaginable, their two elders would not interrogate so gently, and they would definitely start fighting directly, until they recruited all of their own beatings.
"Hurry up!" Zhao Yan also urged again at this time.
"Okay, okay, manly man, there's nothing you can't see anyway!" At this time, Cao Song finally gave in, and immediately told him about his relationship with Princess Shoukang with a depressed face.
At the same time, Princess Bao'an in the palace was also interrogating Princess Shoukang, but she had a gentle temperament, and naturally she would not interrogate Princess Shoukang openly, but under the guise of chatting, she asked about the relationship between Princess Shoukang and Cao Song.
"Second sister, what do you want to ask? Why do you keep mentioning Cao Song's kid today, it can't be that you want to recruit him as a colt, right? Although Princess Shoukang is very arrogant, she is not a fool, and when she heard that Princess Bao'an had been inquiring about Cao Song, she immediately became alert, and even guessed whether Princess Bao'an had taken a fancy to Cao Song's kid.
"If you are going to die, you have a crush on Cao Song!" Princess Bao'an was also ashamed and angry when she heard this, and at this time, she didn't care about anything and asked directly, "Third sister, you often go out with Cao Song during this time, tell Sister SΓΉ, do you have a crush on Cao Song?"
