Chapter 124: Letter from the Capital

The jar shook and didn't move, and I didn't know what was inside.

Driven by curiosity, Song Li opened the jar and found that it contained a lump of red things.

Zhao Qingyang leaned in front of Song Li and glanced at him, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he glanced at Chu Rong with a strange expression.

"What's that?" Song Li muttered in a low voice, raised her hand to wipe it and found that the place she wiped turned red, she looked at Chu Rong with a look of surprise, and exclaimed, "I just touched it and it turned red!" ”

As she spoke, she also stretched out her hand in front of Chu Rong.

Chu Rong smiled helplessly, his eyes flickering a little.

Looking at Song Li's appearance that she had never seen the world, Zhao Qingyang's head suddenly became bigger, she raised her hand to cover her face and said helplessly: "This is rouge, you don't even know if you are a woman or not!" ”

Song Li's expression tightened, and a little shame suddenly appeared on his face.

She pulled her sleeve to wipe the rouge off her hand, and sneered: "Who knew that this little thing was actually rouge......"

It's the first time she's seen this kind of packaged rouge, she used to wear makeup, but that's already a lifetime, and the appearance of modern cosmetics is very different from the ancient ones, she came to ancient times either busy looking for medicinal materials to refine the antidote or running with the void all over the world, how can there be time to make makeup, I don't know it's understandable.

"Wait......"

A flash of inspiration flashed through her mind, and an idea crossed her mind.

"You gave me rouge because you think I'm too ugly and unfeminine, and you want to hint at me and let me dress up?"

She narrowed her eyes and looked at Chu Rong dangerously.

Chu Rong's expression flashed unnatural for a moment, he shook his head and coughed lightly and said seriously: "It was Shang Qing who told me that it is easier to please women by giving rouge." He stopped suddenly, gave Song Li a complicated look, and continued: "But it doesn't seem to be the case now. ”

"Really?"

When Song Li heard this, her eyebrows suddenly relaxed, and she looked at Chu Rong twice and put the jar away with a lid.

"Really."

Chu Rong responded with a smile, and then moved his gaze away, thinking in his heart about how to punish Shang Qing who had made up his mind when he went back for a while.

"I'll forgive you for not daring to dislike me."

Song Li muttered and quickly put the box containing the jar into his arms, and the smile on his face couldn't be stopped.

Zhao Qingyang looked at Song Li with a smirk on his face, the muscles on his face trembled a little, and he couldn't imagine that this person who usually looks extremely rude and nervous would actually show this kind of expression that only a woman in love can have, which is really surprising.

Xiao Er quickly brought someone to serve the food.

Song Li, who has always been informal, quickly forgot about the stubble just now, and picked and tasted the taste of the dishes with chopsticks.

Zhao Qingyang observed Song Li's movements and found that this cheerful and notorious Miss Song was still a foodie, and every chopstick could land on delicious dishes.

Song Li looked at Chu Rong and Zhao Qingyang while eating, and found that both of them were looking at her directly, she frowned and said inarticulately: "Hurry up and eat, see if I can see enough?" ”

Chu Rong looked in a good mood, picked up the chopsticks and put the dish in his mouth, I don't know if the dish is delicious or pleasing to the eye, Chu Rong only feels that this dish is unusually catchy.

Looking at Chu Rong, who was so elegant even in the posture of picking up vegetables, Zhao Qingyang couldn't help but hand him a spoon, thinking that he couldn't believe that he could be so elegant when drinking soup.

Chu Rong glanced at Zhao Qingyang lightly and put the spoon aside.

Song Li quickly took a whirlwind, touched his stomach without any image and burped with satisfaction.

Zhao Qingyang saw Song Li's appearance in his eyes, and his half-lowered eyelids were a little curious about how Song Li had come over the years, and how she didn't have any etiquette related to women.

I don't know whether to say free and generous or ......

"Miss Song, the emperor has sent a letter."

Suddenly there was a sound outside the window,

Since Song Li became the commander of the light pole, she hadn't seen Ling Qiu, and she almost didn't react to his voice for a while.

As soon as the voice fell, a letter flew in from the window.

Chu Rong raised his hand with his back to the window, stretched out two fingers, and quickly caught the flying letter, and then handed it to Song Li without raising his head.

Song Li took the letter and opened it.

There was not much written in the letter, but she was just asked to hand over Long Que to Gu Shaoqing and return to Beijing as soon as possible.

After reading the letter that was only a few crosses, her face instantly became solemn.

"What does the letter say?"

Chu Rong raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.

"The emperor asked me to hand over Long Que to Gu Shaoqing, and then set off for Beijing immediately."

Song Li frowned and quickly destroyed the letter.

She didn't find the talisman when she came again, the king of Pingyang couldn't kill it, she didn't do any of the things that Emperor Tianxuan ordered, not only did she not mention these two things in the letter, but also asked her to return to Beijing quickly, what does Emperor Tianxuan mean.

Is something happening in Kyochu?

Chu Rong pondered for a while and slowly spoke, "The matter here is almost settled, let's go back together." ”

Song Li nodded, thinking about the content of the letter again, but these words didn't have a deeper meaning no matter how they were put together, could it be that Emperor Tianxuan really let her go back like this?

Isn't her job in vain?

But this is also just right, the talisman is in Qin Yichen's hands, and sooner or later it will be handed over to Emperor Tianxuan, and it is better for the King of Pingyang to be handed over to the emperor than to die in her hands in the future.

"How long will it take you?"

"The downstream embankment has been repaired, the disaster relief work has been almost done, and we can return to Beijing in three or four days to finish the work."

Chu Rong thought for a while and said quickly.

Song Li nodded, leaned back in his chair and began to be in a daze.

Chu Rong looked at Song Li who was in a daze with vegetable stains on the corners of his mouth, his eyes were tender like water, he took out a hundred white and dustless handkerchiefs from his arms and got up and walked to Song Li's side.

"What!"

Song Li looked at Chu Rong and immediately became vigilant, she curled back and squinted at Chu Rong.

"Come here."

Looking at Song Li's appearance, Chu Rong smiled helplessly, pulled Song Li down in front of him, and took a handkerchief and wiped it carefully on the corner of her mouth without waiting for her to speak.

Feeling the faint fragrance from Chu Rong's body and Chu Rong's movements on her lips, Song Li's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, and her eyes kept glancing at the beams of the room to relax herself and not look so shy.

"Song Li, you're such a weirdo!"

Zhao Qingyang pouted and said.

Song Li's eyes purred, and he quickly looked at Zhao Qingyang.

"Obviously, you are so domineering and fierce when you scold, but when you meet Chu Shizi, it seems that you have changed as if you are a different person, like a little woman, and you are good!"

Zhao Qingyang hated that iron could not become steel, and he couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic when he thought of Song Li's domineering appearance when he was in the Pingyang Palace.

Song Li stared at the desktop for a long time, and asked Chu Rong, "What do you mean by the emperor?" I didn't do anything he said, so he let me go back? ”

Chu Rong looked at Song Li, and a layer of mist gradually crept up in his eyes.

As soon as Shang Qing came in, he heard Song Li ask, the corners of his mouth twitched fiercely, and he lowered his head to hide the disdain in his eyes.

It's not because she can't stand it anymore.

A few days ago, Chu Rong sent a letter to the eldest princess Chu Ruohua and a group of people who were good friends with her, asking them to constantly harass the emperor and let the emperor let her go.

Others don't say it, just Chu Ruohua, if she makes a fuss, the palace will simply be shaken, Song Li has been locked up for more than a month and has not been visited, with Chu Ruohua's character, it is good that the imperial study has not been lifted.

Thinking of his master's letting people harass Emperor Tianxuan, Shang Qing wiped his sweat for the one in the palace.

It is estimated that he couldn't stand it anymore, so he hurriedly summoned Song Li back.

"I don't know."

Chu Rong shook his head.

The disdain in Shang Qing's eyes became more and more intense, and he coughed lightly to remind everyone.

"Why are you here?"

Chu Rong turned his head when he heard the sound and looked at Shang Qingdao.

"Lord Zhao is looking for you."

Shang Qing quickly put away the disdain in his eyes, and quickly glanced at Song Li and Zhao Qingyang and said to Chu Rong.

Chu Rong nodded, instructed Song Li a few words, and then left with Shang Qing.

"Go down and settle the bill by the way!"

Song Limeng thought about the food money, and hurriedly shouted to Chu Rong, who had already walked out of the door.

Shang Qing hadn't gone out yet, he glanced at Song Li, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Before he entered the door, he began to slaughter Churong, and he would get married in the future.

Song Li didn't know what Shang Qing was thinking, even if he knew, he wouldn't care, Chu Rong was now a son of the world, and his family was rich, and this little money was a drop in the bucket for him.

"We ...... Do you want to sit here for a while? ”

Seeing Chu Rong leaving, Zhao Qingyang suddenly spoke.

The two looked at each other.

Song Li got up decisively, and grabbed a handful of peanuts and stuffed them into Zhao Qingyang's hand, "Let's go, go out for a walk!" ”

Zhao Qingyang glanced down at her greasy hand, the corners of her mouth twitched, she hurriedly slapped the peanuts stuffed by Song Li into the plate, took out a handkerchief and wiped her fingers carefully, until she could no longer see the oily stains, which eased a lot.

Song Li stuffed a peanut into his mouth, and his smiling eyes narrowed into a slit.

"Boring!"

Looking at Song Li, who was smiling and only saw his teeth but not his eyes, and looked like a cunning cat, Zhao Qingyang rolled his eyes directly and said boringly.

The lover left the restaurant side by side and wandered around the city.

"Song Li, is the capital fun?"

Zhao Qingyang suddenly had some curiosity about the prosperous capital, she had never been to the capital since she was born, and the storyteller said that the capital was prosperous, with three steps, one lane, one hundred steps, one street, and brilliant lights all night, and the people in the capital were even more drunk and luxurious.

Thinking of the capital, the smile on the corner of Song Li's mouth faded a little.

She1 shook her head, her eyes were a little distant, "Fun is fun, but it is the world of rich and powerful people, full of the copper smell of money, intrigue and intrigue are endless, and there is rarely real friendship between people, and more is used." ”

"The situation of raising high and stepping on low can be seen everywhere, and the people there are divided into three, six, nine and other ......"

Listening to Song Li's words, Zhao Qingyang didn't have much feeling in his heart.

"Okay, let's not talk about that."

Song Li quickly retracted his gaze, smiled faintly, and stopped the topic.

The two walked around the city for a while and then parted ways.

Song Li returned to the restaurant, and Jing Yan was already waiting for her.

Looking at Jing Yan, who was sitting in the room drinking tea leisurely, Song Li frowned slightly.

"It's finally back." Seeing her come back, Jing Yan took a slow sip of tea, put down the teacup and looked at her intently, "You received the emperor's letter, right?" ”

Hearing this, Song Li also understood Jing Yan's intention.

"I got it, and I watched it."

She walked up to the table and sat down, and said unabashedly.

"Then pack up and go."

Jing Yan nodded slowly.

"Don't panic for a while, wait for Your Highness and them together, anyway, they will only have three or two days."

Song Li poured a cup of tea, took a sip, and said slowly.

"Miss Song, when you came, the emperor repeatedly asked you not to reveal your identity, but you were still exposed, if we hadn't stopped the news, at this time, the news that you came to Jinyang disguised as a man would have spread in the capital long ago."

When Song Li heard this, his expression was slightly condensed, and a dark light flashed in his eyes, "Why?" She asked and slowly looked up at Jing Yan, "If it is exposed, it will be exposed, why do you want to stop the news?" ”

Jing Yan looked at Song Li, her lips pursed slightly, "Miss Song, you are a woman, if this matter spreads, no matter whose will you are subjected to, it will damage your reputation, we are all for your good, besides, you and Chu Shizi ......"

"Miss Song, you should stay away from Chu Shizi."

Song Li looked at Jing Yan with interest, and a sarcastic smile provoked at the corner of his mouth, "Why didn't the emperor think that it would damage my reputation when he sent me?" ”
