Li Tai got up, bowed his hand to the old lady, and went with the two of them.

This is really not in accordance with the rules and etiquette, but there is no rule in the world that is more authoritative than the etiquette.

Yu Qiao couldn't help but sneer.

The old lady glanced at her with disgust and ordered, "Go back to your own yard, I should also rest." ”

……

Mingqingyuan.

Song Mingqing and Gu Xiaoyue stepped into the porch of the antechamber hand in hand.

Gu Xiaoyue sighed: "There is only the Song Mansion in this world, and women are raised as men, and you and your two brothers each live in a main courtyard, which made me envious when I was young." ”

Song Mingqing said softly: "You know me, I don't like this front yard to be too wide and majestic, but I like the elegant and secluded backyard." ”

Walk all the way through the cloister, past the pond garden, and into the backyard.

Gu Xiaoyue looked at the plaque on the moon-shaped arch and said, "These words are beginning to fade and mottle." ”

Song Mingqing said softly: "The years have been infected, and even people can't bear it, let alone the wooden plaque." ”

Li Tai walked behind, listening to their exclamations.

Among them, there are many women's hearts and many sorrows.

The moonlight was quiet, making everything in the courtyard quiet and elegant, and the three of them sat down at the stone table.

Zhu'er served refreshments.

Gu Xiaoyue said: "Everything hasn't changed, it's May, and your yard is still so cool." When I was young, every time I was in the hot summer, I would come to live in your yard, and the picture was the peace and quiet of you. ”

Song Mingqing looked into her eyes and asked softly, "Xiaoyue, how are you doing in the palace all these years?" ”

Gu Xiaoyue glanced at Li Tai.

Li Tai pursed his lips and smiled: "Today, just say what you want to say, don't worry about me." ”

Gu Xiaoyue sighed: "If you don't enter the palace, you don't know that the deep palace is lonely, and you don't know the complexity of the deep palace." I have suffered a lot of hardships, you know my temperament, I have been cheerful and lively since I was a child, or I have been bound to be like this. ”

Suddenly smiled and said: "I don't believe you ask King Wei about the rules in the palace." ”

Li Tai replied solemnly: "This king feels the same way as you. ”

The three of them couldn't help but smile.

Gu Xiaoyue said quietly: "When you enter the palace, you are all the emperor's women." Today's emperor is not obsessed with women, so I will die alone in the palace in this life. ”

Li Tai said seriously: "If you want to go out of the palace to marry, this king can go and ask for a decree for you." ”

Although Gu Xiaoyue was moved by Li Tai, she still said: "In the past ten years, I have been careful in my words and deeds, and I have been careful everywhere, and I have been educated into a loveless wooden woman, and I am also used to life in the palace, and I have no intention of leaving the palace." ”

Song Mingqing understood that what she said was sincere.

A person has long been changed in character, changed his trajectory, and is accustomed to taking that path, and he will never be able to go back to the past.

A few people were silent.

Gu Xiaoyue finally couldn't help but ask, "How can you be separated from that person?" ”

This is the topic that Li Tai wants to hear the most.

Song Mingqing said indifferently: "It's just the end of fate." ”

Gu Xiaoyue said: "How can it be summed up by fate? There were so many people who admired you back then, but you were the only one who had just opened your love for him, secretly agreed, and even argued with me, and almost broke off your friendship with me. ”

Song Mingqing lowered his head and said for a long time: "He married the young lady in Lord Zeng's mansion." ”

Gu Xiaoyue was shocked: "Is he turning his back on you?" How can he endure and how can he give up? He was a down-and-out scholar, and you ignored the opposition of your parents, treated him with all your heart, and even begged your father to donate his official position for him. Did he abandon you when he had an official position? ”

Every sentence of this was pierced in Song Mingqing's heart, so that his body trembled slightly.

Gu Xiaoyue stretched out her hand to hug her and shouted, "Back then, I said you were stupid, you are really stupid." ”

In the face of her close friend, Song Mingqing, who had suppressed and restrained her for decades, began to cry when she buried her head on her shoulder.

When Li Tai saw this, his heart felt like a needle had been pierced.

How can such a woman bear to abandon her......

He secretly gritted his teeth and said coldly: "For such a merciless person, you have been suffering for ten years, you are really a fool." ”

Song Mingqing gently pushed Gu Xiaoyue away, looked at him, his eyes were covered with tears, and said with a wry smile: "The prince is wrong, I didn't work hard for him, but I saw through and looked down on the world." May I ask the prince, how many men in the world will choose one of them to die of old age? ”

Li Tai retorted: "You are a crooked. It is true that men in the world have three wives and four concubines, and it is rare to end up with one and the same, but how can they have no true feelings for each one. ”

Song Mingqing sneered: "Born as a human being, but with one heart, a group of wives and concubines can share it, and how much can they share, it's better not to do it." ”

Li Tai said: "That man promised you a couple for the rest of your life, and when you were hurt by him, you thought that no man in the world could be trusted, and then set up a higher fence to trap you." If there is someone who truly loves you, loves you, and values you, no matter how many women there are around. ”

Song Mingqing retorted: "This is the excuse that the prince has found for himself to be abusive." ”

Gu Xiaoyue never thought that these two people were-for-tat, holding her forehead and saying, "It's unreasonable for you to argue well, and you deviate from the topic." It is not wrong for a man to have three wives and four concubines, but it is a sin to abandon them from the beginning to the end. ”

Li Tai also somehow had a fire burning in his heart: "Gu Shanggong and tell me, what is that person's surname?" In which government did you serve? ”

Song Mingqing said sharply: "Don't say it!" It's not anyone else's business! ”

But Gu Shanggong didn't like that person in the first place, and now he hates that person even more.

"His name is Fanzhi, and he is the secretary of the secretary."

Li Tai immediately got up: "You two must still have a lot to say, this king will leave first." ”

When Li Tai left, the two looked at each other and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Many words should not have been said in front of a man, not to mention that the other party was a prince.

The two entered the house hand in hand, and Song Mingqing told Gu Xiaoyue the details of everything, only to hear Gu Xiaoyue cry several times.

It's not worth it to be sad for her, to be sorry for her.

……

At this time, the Song Mansion was quiet and peaceful, the moonlight spread all over the mansion, and the lights were turned off everywhere to rest.

Only the fragrance of flowers is refreshing in the night breeze, and only the occasional low insect chirp speaks at night.

The doorman ran all the way to Xiyuan at this time, and said a few words to Mother Qian in a low voice.

Mother Qian broke into Yao's house directly. She used to be Yumo's nurse, and they all called her nurse, but now she has become the head of the second lady's side, and she is called her mother.

Song Mingtu and Yao were about to rest, but they watched Qian's mother break in, even if they were kind to her on weekdays, they couldn't help but scold: "Do you still understand the rules of the house?" ”

Mother Qian knelt down, her voice trembling with joy: "Master, is it ...... It's someone from the capital, and the five princes in the palace, Prince Qi, came to visit the master......"
