Chapter 156: Thinking Behind Closed Doors
When Song Wenyu came back, his face was a little pale. When Ah Jin saw him like this, he knew that the meeting was not pleasant.
Come to think of it, this is clearly a meeting with a deep meaning, how can you be happy. Ah Jin glanced at Song Wenyu, gently pushed a bowl of tea in front of her, and then said, "Have you seen it all?" ”
"I've seen it", Song Wenyu nodded a little stiffly, and reached out to touch the bowl of tea. The tea was a little hot, so he withdrew his hand and didn't touch it again, "I've already said what I should say." If she had brought the word, the prince would not have asked her to come to me again. ”
Ah Jin lowered his eyes and watched the breeze wrinkle the soup in the tea bowl, "The crown princess is smart, I think I will understand your hard work." ”
"She understands", it is precisely because she understands that Song Wenyu's mood is so complicated, "It's just that I always feel that doing this is just to alleviate the problems she is facing now...... I can't help anything else. ”
"If you soften your heart because you see her, you are not Song Wenyu", Ah Jin did not say the rest of the words. Song Wenyu knew that she should have something to say, so he raised his head to look at her.
"Ah Jin, if you are not happy in your heart, you must tell me. I don't want you to be unhappy in your heart", Song Wenyu opened his mouth and popped out such a sentence without a head.
Ah Jin was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said: "It was indeed a little unhappy, but when you said this, it suddenly became not so unhappy." Alright, you don't have to tremble with me. When this matter is over, you have told me everything, and I am not so careful. ”
Ah Jin sent him away in a few words, and Song Wenyu glanced at her and didn't say anything else.
……
Meng Yidi pushed open the door and walked into the room expressionlessly, and saw that Xiao Shuo was already sitting inside waiting for her. She just glanced at him and went straight to the back room. Zhu'er was originally waiting by Xiao Shuo's side, but when she saw her back, she hurriedly greeted her.
Although Xiao Shuo's gaze kept moving with Meng Yidi, he didn't get up. Meng Yidi changed his clothes and walked out of the back room, his expression still cold. She sat calmly on the side, silent, as if waiting for Xiao Shuo to speak first.
Xiao Shuo looked at her with heavy eyes, and he didn't know how to speak for a while. Meng Yidi waited for a while, and seeing that the other party had not spoken, he raised his head and looked at him and said, "It seems that what happened today, the people under His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have already told you everything. Presumably, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has nothing to ask his concubines, right? Case...... The concubine was a little tired and wanted to rest. ”
Xiao Shuo stared at her pale face for a long time, feeling a little guilty in his heart, and felt annoyed when he heard her opening her mouth to give an eviction order to herself, "You are blatantly driving the palace away." ”
"Don't dare", Meng Yidi replied calmly: "The concubine is really tired." ”
Her voice is very angry, there is no sadness or joy, and people can't detect the slightest element of anger. Because of this, it is unpredictable. Xiao Shuo's face changed and changed, and he suddenly felt that the woman sitting in front of him was more and more incomprehensible to him, "I know that you are wronged......
"The concubine doesn't feel wronged", this is the first time Meng Yidi interrupted Xiao Shuo's words, "After this incident, the concubine is relieved." ”
Xiao Shuo narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at him intently. His gaze was cold and abnormal, but Meng Yidi didn't dodge.
"Heh, I see", after a while, Xiao Shuo sneered and said, "It seems that the palace is too worried." ”
With that, Xiao Shuo stood up and walked out angrily. As soon as he arrived at the door, Meng Yidi suddenly stopped him, "His Royal Highness the Prince, as you can see, between the concubine and Song Wenyu, there is no speculation for more than half a sentence, even if the concubine wants to do something for you, she is more than willing to do it, and I ask His Royal Highness the Prince...... Anger is relieved. ”
Xiao Shuo didn't look back at him, he clenched his teeth and continued to move forward without looking back. Until his footsteps could no longer be heard, Meng Yidi still sat there with his back straight, without the slightest intention of relaxing.
Zhu'er looked at her, and couldn't help but persuade her, "Why should the crown princess be like this." In this way, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must be angry with you. ”
"Even if there is no such thing, he will still be very angry with me", so far, Meng Yidi understands. The three words Song Wenyu were like a thorn in Xiao Shuo's heart, and they couldn't touch or say it.
After she said this, she propped up the table and tried to stand up. Seeing this, Zhu'er hurriedly supported him, "Your Highness is not necessarily angry that you didn't get things done." ”
The implication is that Xiao Shuo cares about something else. Meng Yidi smiled, she didn't know. But she didn't care anymore. Since Xiao Shuo proposed to let her meet Song Wenyu on this side, everything has changed.
Seeing Meng Yidi smiling and silent, Zhu'er knew that she actually knew everything in her heart, but she was stubbornly unwilling to give in. She frowned and said nothing more. After waiting for Meng Yidi to fall asleep, he came to Shen Yu's room.
For her visit again, Shen Yu was a little surprised.
"I don't know, I thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was going to lift my ban and let me out", Shen Yu saw that her expression was heavy, and she wanted to make a joke to ease the atmosphere, but seeing that she was silent, the smile on her lips gradually faded, "Did something happen?" ”
"Today, the crown princess went to see Song Wenyu", Zhu'er said concisely, then sat opposite Shen Yu, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
Shen Yu has always been smart, and when he heard Zhu'er say this, he figured out the reason. It's just that she is still a little skeptical, "You mean, it's the prince......"
"Hmm", Zhu'er nodded, silent as always.
Shen Yu frowned, tilted his head and thought for a while, but he still couldn't figure it out, "Why." What the hell is going on. ”
Zhu'er pursed her lips, probably not knowing where to start, and probably not wanting to say it, she didn't answer Shen Yu's question, "Don't mention these things for the time being." The reason why I came today is because I am worried about my mother. ”
"What's wrong with the mother?" Shen Yu's heart tightened, and the hand holding the teacup trembled slightly unconsciously.
"Niangniang has been very calm since she agreed to see Song Wenyu", Zhu'er didn't know how to describe Meng Yidi's current state, "That's it...... It's so calm, it doesn't feel popular. I'm worried that it's not good for her to go on like this...... Otherwise, you sneak a look? ”
Shen Yu glanced at her in surprise, Zhu'er was a little embarrassed, and her expression became even more indifferent, "What's wrong?" Are you going or not going. ”
"I didn't expect you to care so much about Niangniang", Shen Yu smiled and said: "If you go, you must go, but let's go there so secretly, and it will not be good for Niangniang to be seen." ”
After that, she groaned for a while, and then said, "Look at this." Otherwise, the next time His Royal Highness the Crown Prince comes over, you will take a sip in front of His Royal Highness the Prince, and say that the mother has not been feeling well these days, probe the prince's tone, and see if His Royal Highness wants to release me. ”
Zhu'er pursed her lips, and didn't rush to agree to her, "I've always thought you have a lot of ideas." Looking at it now, it's not like I'm prejudiced against you. ”
"I'll just praise you for this," Shen Yu replied with a smile. In his heart, he has been worried about Meng Yidi's situation.
……
Two days later, Ah Jin received the news.
"Girl, what does the letter say?" Ah Zhen was waiting anxiously on the side, and couldn't help but ask.
"Shen Yu was released", Ah Jin finished reading the note, then rolled it up again and threw it into the incense burner, "Xiao Shuo still asked her to serve by Meng Yidi's side." ”
"Ah, thank God", Ah Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly folded her hands and bowed to God. After a while, a let go of the heart lifted a little again, "But this is not a place to leave right and wrong." ”
Ah Jin smiled bitterly, "Naturally not." However, this is Shen Yu's own choice, she naturally has her own plans. You don't have to worry too much, since she's under house arrest, we all have a way to get in touch with her. Now that she's been released, it's even more so. It's just ......"
"Just what?" Seeing that she hadn't finished speaking, Ah Zhen asked curiously.
"It's nothing", Ah Jin replied, and turned the page on this matter, "Do you know where the young pavilion master has been going to play for a while?" ”
"I heard what I meant when I first saw my senior brother, it seems that I often go in the direction of the Great Compassion Temple."
"Oh", Ah Jin was a little relieved when he heard this answer. As long as he doesn't wander around the royal capital, he doesn't bother to care where he goes.
……
Shen Yugang waited for Meng Yidi to drink solid soup, and Xiao Shuo came in from outside at this time. Shen Yu and Zhu'er turned their heads to see him and hurriedly saluted. Xiao Shuo has come more frequently these days, and every time he sees him, his brows don't stretch. If it was before, Meng Yidi would definitely ask a question or two and say a few words of self-consideration.
Now she just looked up at him and saluted decently. If Xiao Shuo stopped her, she would give up. Everything seems to be so routine.
Such alienation and coldness made Xiao Shuo panic in his heart. He didn't like Meng Yidi's attitude, but he was helpless. He knew better than anyone else why she was here.
"How's your body?"
"If you go back to Your Highness, everything will be fine with the concubine." Meng Yidi replied softly, and after saying this, he sat there with his eyebrows lowered, looking so well-behaved that he couldn't do it. She seems to have become the original Meng Yidi again, but she doesn't seem to be it.
This feeling of being unable to grasp and touch made Xiao Shuo upset, "In two days, you will go back to the East Palace with the main palace." ”
When Meng Yidi heard this, he finally raised his head and glanced at him, "The concubine thinks it's good to stay here." Recently, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been busy, and His Royal Highness has been distracted by the concubines, which makes the concubines uneasy and very frightened. ”
"Yidi, do you have to talk to me like this", Xiao Shuo said, holding one of Meng Yidi's hands. Meng Yidi subconsciously wanted to hide, but he was held by him and couldn't withdraw, "You and I are husband and wife, so there is no need to say such an out-of-the-ordinary thing." ”
"The concubine didn't mean that. It's just that I suddenly feel that living outside the palace may be much safer than living in the palace", Meng Yidi looked at Xiao Shuo, and pulled out his hand without a trace as he spoke, "Your Highness is thoughtful, and naturally you will be considerate of your concubines." ”
Meng Yidi said a few words, and Xiao Shuo was speechless. He obviously knew that Meng Yidi was avoiding him, but he was helpless. Xiao Shuo looked at Meng Yidi for a long time, and finally closed his eyes and sighed deeply: "In this way, let it be as you wish." It's just that you've been in this body for more than five months, and at most you should go back after living outside for another month. ”
"His Royal Highness Prince Xie", Meng Yidi knew that this was Xiao Shuo's biggest concession to himself. She nodded, no further objections.
Xiao Shuo looked at her with mixed tastes, thinking that he would stay in the courtyard for one night today, but now he didn't have the mind, "Then you have a good rest, I'll go back first." ”
As he spoke, he stood up, and when Meng Yidi saw this, he also stood up and sent him to the door. Shen Yu silently followed by his side, and when he saw that Meng Yidi had not said a word to Xiao Shuo from beginning to end, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Niangniang", on the way back, Shen Yu helped her walk forward cautiously, and opened her mouth tentatively, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince obviously wants to stay, if you say a word or two, he will definitely stay." ”
"He has a lot of things to do, and if I leave him behind, my heart may not be here. Rather than that, it's better not to stay. ”
Shen Yu knew that what she said was all pretexts. Between truth and falsehood, there is only one sentence that reveals Meng Yidi's thoughts, "Niangniang is guilty." ”
Meng Yidi didn't say anything, so he acquiesced.
"Mother, but...... If you still want to stay with Your Highness, you have to untie the knot in your heart. ”
"Shen Yu", Meng Yidi stopped and patted her hand gently, "I understand everything you said, and I understand everything." But I don't know why...... I can't keep up my spirits. As if I don't care what he does to me. ”
"Niangniang......" Shen Yu frowned, and was about to say something, but saw Meng Yidi gently shake his head to himself. Seeing this, Shen Yu had to swallow those words into his stomach.
……
Above the court, Song Wenyu pressed the prince step by step, and when he saw the move, he clearly wanted to put him to death. No matter how much his behavior made the saint feel that he couldn't get off the stage, in a fit of anger, he simply found an excuse to send him home and think about it behind closed doors for a few days.
Luo Teng got the news and rushed to the Song Mansion to offer condolences as soon as possible, and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw his excellent and wandering living conditions. After a while, it suddenly dawned on me: "Didn't you mean this?" ”
Song Wenyu took a sip of the tea soup made by Ah Jinxin, and then said slowly: "The sage has good intentions, and he doesn't want to break the balance above the court because of me. Again, it's also that I'm too sharp, and I should have this catastrophe in my life. ”
Luo Teng was dumbfounded, not knowing what to say. In order to hide his embarrassment, he also picked up a bowl of tea soup to taste. After a few bites, he tasted a little familiar taste, and in a panic, he put down the tea bowl again, "You have always been the one who lives the best." It seems that nothing escapes your eyes. ”
"Then you really think highly of me", Song Wenyu smiled, "The saint's sudden attack was also something I didn't expect." The stakes in this are still what I figured out after I came back and was selected by a master. ”
"When you say the tall man, you mean ......," Luo Teng said, glancing meaningfully into the room. probably knew that Song Wenyu was meeting guests, and Ah Jin was not in the courtyard. When Luo Teng saw that the door was open, he knew that she should be in the room.
Luo Teng looked back at Song Wenyu, and really couldn't say a word of praise for Ah Jin. This silent gold is full of weirdness. He wanted to investigate deeply, but he was afraid of Song Wenyu and Liuli, so he had to give up.
Seeing that he was silent, Song Wenyu deliberately smiled and asked, "Why don't you keep quiet?" ”
"I'm thinking, you're idle. But what next? You didn't have a chance to let the prince take a breath before, if you wait for him to recover, won't you be crushed and scattered? ”
Luo Teng's worries are not unreasonable, but the words are too ugly. Song Wenyu glanced at him and didn't rush to answer. Luo Teng stared at him intently for a long time, and saw that he only knew how to drink tea, and he didn't mean to talk at all, so he couldn't hold his breath after all, "You are talking." Seeing that you are so calm, could it be that you have a back-resort? ”
"The saint is so unexpected, what can I do", Song Wenyu finished speaking, and saw Luo Teng speaking in a hurry, so he said again: "As smart as His Royal Highness the Prince, he will not embarrass me at this time." ”
"That's the truth, but I'm worried...... If the prince is not beaten down by you this time, you will ...... in the future."
"Do you want me to pull the prince off the horse in one fell swoop?" Song Wenyu raised one eyebrow and asked knowingly.
Luo Teng's face changed, and he hurriedly denied: "I didn't say that. ”
Song Wenyu didn't demolish him, and after picking up the bowl and drinking the last sip of tea soup, he instructed Huairen: "Go and talk to your wife, my tea soup is finished, please make me two more bowls." ”
Huairen took the empty tea bowl and hurriedly replied, "When the two of you were talking just now, Madame gave the order. It was said that it was almost lunch, and it was not good to drink too much tea soup. Still asking...... If the guest wants to keep the meal, if so, she will prepare more dishes for you. ”
When Song Wenyu heard this, he glanced at Luo Teng, as if he was asking for Luo Teng's meaning. Seeing this, Luo Teng waved his hand and said, "I'll leave later, don't think about me." ”
Song Wenyu nodded, and he didn't mean to keep it warmly. After all, now that he was ordered by the saint to think about it behind closed doors at home, it is unreasonable to leave Luo Teng to eat in the house at this juncture.
"Since that's the case, I won't keep you", Song Wenyu looked at him, and the two chatted a few words without a match, and then Luo Teng got up and said goodbye. After Song Wenyu sent Luo Teng out, he turned back and the food was already on the table. Song Wenyu sat down at the table with a slight smile, and only said "beautiful and delicious", and then planned to start.
Ah Jin picked up the chopsticks and finished the dishes for him, and then said, "It's all over?" ”
"Well, there's nothing to talk about, he just came over and took a look at me. I'm afraid I won't be able to open it. ”
Ah Jin watched Song Wenyu feasting with a bowl of rice, and couldn't help but say: "Is he particularly surprised, seeing that you are not depressed at all, but look like you are on vacation." ”
"The meaning of the saint was to let me take a vacation, didn't it?" Song Wenyu said confidently, and suddenly the words changed, "If I hadn't been closed to think about it, I would have taken you to Jiangnan a long time ago." ”
Ah Jin was stunned for a moment, and looked at him in some surprise, "You are really open-minded...... Or is it that you have already arranged the next things? ”
Song Wenyu didn't answer, and ate by himself. Ah Jin pursed his lips and didn't ask any more questions.
After eating, Song Wenyu put down the dishes and chopsticks contentedly, took the handkerchief from Huairen's hand and wiped his hands and face, and then said: "All in all, my husband will stay in the house with you for a few days, and he won't go anywhere." ”
"That's really embarrassing, I have somewhere to go", Ah Jin rolled his eyes and gave Song Wenyu a soft nail to eat.
"Where do you want to go", Song Wenyu's face sank, and he asked pretending to be angry.
"There are so many industries, so naturally we have to go on a patrol. You just wait at home and come back from your wife's errands", Ah Jin said, reaching out and patting his face, before standing up and letting Ah Zhen change his clothes and prepare to leave the house.
Song Wenyu was stunned for a while, and then shook his head helplessly for a while, and said loudly to Ah Jin: "Only women and villains are difficult to raise, and the saint will not deceive me." ”
Ah Jin got dressed and walked out from behind the screen, looked at him with a smile and said, "I won't be angry with you." You can just experience what it's like to wait for you in the house on weekdays. ”
With that, she took Ah Zhen out of the Song Mansion.
……
As soon as Ah Jin left the house, someone with good deeds reported the matter to Mrs. Song. When Mrs. Song heard this, her eyes sank, and she snorted coldly. Seeing this, Mama Li, who was waiting by her side, hurriedly said: "The old lady is angry, she is angry, she is angry, but it is not worth it." ”
"My family Wenyu is now reprimanded by the saint for thinking behind closed doors at home. As Wen Yu's wife, she is swaggering out at this juncture, does she still have the heart! ”
This is said very seriously, even Mama Li doesn't dare to talk at will. After a while, she heard Mrs. Song sigh again: "Anyway, who told Wen Yu to like her so much." As long as she doesn't cause anything to disgrace the Song Mansion outside, let her go. ”
When Mama Li heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly relieved: "The old lady is right to think so." Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and it is difficult to buy them because the eldest young master likes them, and the harmony between their husbands and wives is the most important thing. ”
Hearing Mama Li say this, Old Madam Song's frowning brows relaxed, "Hey, Wen Yu has always been smooth sailing in the officialdom, and it is really the first time that he has been reprimanded by a saint." I don't know what it was for, but when I asked, they didn't want to say. ”
"Old lady, we can't figure out the things in the court, and we don't need to figure it out, there are old masters and young masters. The most important thing to do right now is to take care of your body and wait to hold your great-grandson. ”
"Yes, that's what you said." Speaking of this, Old Madam Song's worried face finally showed a smile. Suddenly, the smile faded a little, "If Shen's stomach can be more angry, I really don't have anything to worry about." ”
