Chapter 657: Backtracking
Right now, Su Yunting didn't accept the bracelet, and it wasn't if she didn't accept it.
"Thank you, Queen." Shi Qingran had Song Yuchen's support, and Su Yunting didn't dare not accept her bracelet. After accepting the bracelet, she respectfully withdrew.
"The palace is lacking." Originally, Shi Qingran wanted to leave, but now after such a farce, he was even more in no mood to stay here, and after saluting Song Yuchen respectfully, he walked towards Kunning Palace.
When he arrived at Kunning Palace, Lang'er didn't wait for Qingran to order, and he had already opened the palm-sized wooden box.
"Mother." Lang'er looked at the contents of the wooden box, and then raised his eyes to look at Shi Qingran: "It's a bracelet." β
Shi Qingran pouted: "Anyway, it's not a valuable thing, press the bottom of the box or keep it yourself, and give it to the maid below." Shi Qingran is now in the middle palace, and there is naturally no shortage of food and clothing: "It's just that you don't want that girl to see it."
However, it is precisely because she is in the middle palace that she can't go out easily, and now she has saved a few hundred taels of monthly silver and has nowhere to spend.
The monthly silver of being a queen is much more than being a princess.
"Yes." As he said, he took the bracelet and retreated.
It was the weather in March, lukewarm and hot, but Shi Qingran was so angry at the moment that he reached out and held a fan and kept fanning.
"Niangniang, it's only three months, beware of catching a cold." The palace maid on the side persuaded. Shi Qingran put down the fan at this time. It seemed that she still felt a little hot, so she used her hand as a fan and kept fanning herself in the face.
It wasn't until she saw Lang'er dispose of that bad thing that she felt better.
The spring banquet in the palace has always been lively, and after noon, everyone played in the palace for a while before they dispersed and went home. Song Yuchen saw that everyone was scattered, so he walked unhurriedly towards Shi Qingran's palace.
After entering Kunning Palace, Song Yuchen saw Shi Qingran sitting at the table drinking tea angrily, and when she saw Song Yuchen coming, she was very dissatisfied and turned her head away.
Song Yuchen walked to Shi Qingran's table by himself, reached out for a teacup, and poured himself a cup of tea. While tasting it, he nodded and said, "Rose tea." β
"Although it is not expensive, it is very sweet and nourishing." Song Yuchen leaned into Shi Qingran's ear and said. Shi Qingran listened to Song Yuchen's words and twisted his head to the other side.
After a while, Shi Qingran pursed his lips again, and said sourly: "Those official ladies, one by one, they are all brilliant in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, you don't look at them in the imperial garden, what are you doing here to watch me?" β
"Because you're good-looking." Song Yuchen had a low voice, and there was a little demagogy in his words. His breath sprayed thin on Shi Qingran's neck, which made Shi Qingran's neck tickle.
"You're a liar." Shi Qingran replied angrily. Shi Qingran has always been very clear about what he looks like.
"Lie to you." Song Yuchen said, doting on Shi Qingran's nose and scraping it.
"As you said, when the Hundred Flowers Banquet is over, go out of the palace with me to play." Thinking of leaving the palace, Shi Qingran couldn't care about the unhappiness he had seen with Su Yunting in the Imperial Garden before.
"Well, I did." Song Yuchen promised: "When the court goes down tomorrow, I will accompany you." Let's wear regular clothes and go shopping for white sugar cakes together, can we enjoy the flowers and scenery? β
Shi Qingran listened, turned his head and glanced at Song Yuchen, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face: "Words count." β
"Count."
However, on the second day, Song Yuchen broke his promise again.
After Song Yuchen went to court, Shi Qingran saw that he had not come back for a long time, so he took the initiative to stand at the gate of the palace and wait for him. However, after waiting for half an hour, he was still not seen.
She heard the attendant at the gate of Song Yuchen's palace say that today they were discussing the flood inside, and they discussed it for a long time, but they couldn't tell the reason.
Shi Qingran was depressed. Now that the weather is getting warmer, the spring snow is melting in many parts of the north, which is bound to cause flooding. And who to send to govern has become a difficult problem for a while.
On weekdays, these old ministers can speak well and offer advice everywhere, but now they have encountered real problems, but they are all slumped with their heads, and they can't even collapse a fart.
Song Yuchen sat on the dragon chair, his face pale. After a long time, I saw Taiwei Su holding a handful of old bones, and knelt down with a rickety figure: "Emperor Qiqi, if no one goes to govern, the old minister is willing to share the worries on behalf of the emperor." β
The anger in Song Yuchen's eyes has subsided a lot: "In this way, the matter of the floods in the north will be handled by Su Aiqing." After speaking, Song Yuchen waved his hand.
"Retreatβ"
Originally, because of yesterday's incident, Song Yuchen wanted to leave Su Taiwei behind and beat him, so that he could be regarded as a hero who was going to deal with the flood, but Song Yuchen was not good at saying a few words to him.
However, today's government affairs are not just floods. For example, today, although the Qiwang City is peaceful and peaceful, it is a peaceful image, but this may not be the case in other places.
In addition to the flooding, there are other headaches. Issues such as spring planting, legislation, population survey, etc. Song Yuchen took office at the beginning of his tenure, and he needed to personally arrange manpower for these things.
Shi Qingran waited outside the hall, watching the palace people come out one after another, but he still didn't see Song Yuchen. After a long while, when Shi Qingran's neck was a little sore, she saw Song Yuchen coming out of it unhurriedly.
"How?" Shi Qingran looked at Song Yuchen with bright eyes: "Is it done?" Can I leave the palace? β
"Yes." Song Yuchen looked at Shi Qingran, but he didn't know how to speak: "Or, let's go out another day, right?" β
Shi Qingran's face became more and more bad. Seeing that there were still ministers around her, she lowered her voice and muttered a little aggrievedly: "But Song Yuchen, you promised me, you said that you would accompany me out of the palace today." β
"Hurry up with power." Song Yuchen looked at Shi Qingran and said with some guilt: "I really want to go out with you, but today suddenly a lot of problems came. I want to know people well, let people legislate, establish population awareness, and employ people to deal with floods......"
Song Yuchen saw that the ministers were all dispersed, and his tone in front of Shi Qingran softened a little: "Ranran, when I am done with this stubble, I will accompany you out, okay?" β
The light in Shi Qingran's eyes was gone, replaced by a face full of disappointment.
"Forget it." Shi Qingran said: "You are not only mine, you are the people of the world." All the people of the world are indeed much more important than me. After all, Shi Qingran didn't want Song Yuchen to be a dumb monarch.
Song Yuchen said this, how could she be ignorant? Shi Qingran turned around and walked slowly towards Kunning Palace, his back was also full of loss.
Lang'er glanced at Song Yuchen, and only said lightly: "Your Majesty, do you know how long the queen has been waiting for you here?" β
