Chapter 247: Private Affair
Song Jie said directly to Wan Bingyu and Li Wenyao: "I like Princess Minyue, if she marries, I will treat her well, and I will never let her suffer any harm." Moreover, doesn't Princess Minyue not like to live in a well-guarded place, this king knows martial arts, if she likes it, this king can take her around in the future, in short, she will not be treated badly. ”
"What you said is true, lord?" Wan Bingyu asked with some suspicion.
Song Jie wrung his brows, and said very dissatisfied: "This king's words, Chrysostom Yuyan, how can they be lies, Mrs. Wan, you can't lose your courtesy just because this king is familiar with you." ”
"That's not what the women meant." Wan Bingyu lowered his head.
At this moment, Li Wenyao, who had been silent, finally spoke: "Dare to ask how many concubines there are in the prince's mansion?" ”
Song Jie, who asked this, was stunned for a moment, and was silent for a while before blushing and said, "No." ”
When his mother was alive, she was not favored by the emperor, and it is said that because of the conflict between the two, the emperor rarely came to see her, and she herself looked bitter and hateful. Although the two rarely met, Song Jie saw his mother gazing at the palace where his father lived more than once, and he clearly saw that there were all kinds of emotions lingering in those eyes, including resentment and affection.
It was only later that he learned about the grievances between the two.
It turned out that his mother was his father's favorite woman, but they drifted apart because of the beauties of the harem.
On that day, Song Jie made a vow that from then on, he would marry only one woman and love her only for the rest of his life.
"If Princess Minyue marries this king, this king will definitely give her the best things in the world, and she will cherish him forever!"
Wan Bingyu saw affection in his eyes.
Human eyes don't lie, and from Song Jie's various small actions, she can see that Song Jie's feelings for Minyue are true, but she doesn't know if this relationship is appropriate.
"Lord Song," Wan Bingyu lowered his eyelashes and said, "I have a suggestion I want to mention to you, I wonder if you would like to hear it?" ”
"Mrs. Wan, please speak."
"Feelings are such a thing, the emphasis is on the mutual pleasure of the two feelings, Lord Song, you keep saying that you like Yue'er, have you ever wondered if Yue'er has a heart for you?"
Wan Bingyu's eyes seemed to be able to see through people's true hearts, and directly made Song Jie's breathing sluggish, and his expression changed, "Why don't we ask Princess Minyue for her own opinion on this matter?" If Yue'er is willing to marry you after knowing your identity, then the Seventh Prince and I will no longer talk about this matter, and even bless you, how about it? ”
Song Jie's eyes rolled, and he quickly figured out the pros and cons.
Wan Bingyu and Li Wenyao are both people that Min Yue values, if they can get their blessings, maybe Min Yue will feel more at ease when she gets married.
So Song Jie decisively chose to nod.
"May Lady Wan not forget your own promise!"
Song Jie left the palace after leaving this sentence.
Within a few days, he found an opportunity to enter the palace and ask to see Princess Minyue on the pretext of offering gifts.
The emperor granted it.
In the afternoon of the same day, Song Jie met Minyue in a pavilion in the imperial garden, the two had not seen each other for a few days, and the once lively and lovely princess had become the emaciated and haggard she is now.
Song Jie was distressed, so he stepped forward and grabbed Minyue's hand and said directly: "Why did Princess Minyue make herself look like this, she has been sick recently and hasn't rested well?" Or is it because you're worrying too much? ”
His actions were actually a bit rude in the eyes of the people, and a maid had a cold face and was about to open her mouth to remind Song Jie to abide by etiquette, but before she could say anything, she was stopped by Min Yue.
"You guys stand down first, I have something I want to tell the envoy privately."
The palace people had no choice but to retreat in turn.
"It's not proper for a woman who has not left the boudoir to be alone, not to mention that His Royal Highness is still the one who has set up a marriage, what if this matter spreads outside?"
"Look, it's the envoy of the Chu State who came to ask for a meeting, didn't the envoy say that he wanted to give a gift, and it's okay to stay alone for a while, right?"
When everyone was chattering, they did not notice that a maid did not know what was going on, and instead of worrying about her master, she showed an excited expression, as if it was not a transcendent scene at all, but an opportunity in front of her.
Taking advantage of the fact that the other subordinates were not paying attention, the maid quietly rushed in the direction of the Qingyu Pavilion.
"What did you say?" Li Wenyan, who was originally sitting in her position, stood up suddenly, her eyes shining as if they had fallen into the stars, "Minyue has a personal affair with Song Jie, the envoy of the Chu State?" ”
The maid who came to report the news nodded solemnly.
"There is indeed something between the two, when the slave and maid just came, but they clearly saw their hands clasped tightly, especially the envoy, as if he was reluctant to let go, holding Princess Minyue's hand tightly, and after he came, Princess Minyue sent all the servants away! The slave maid dared to swear with her life that there was indeed a personal affair between this Shi Chen and Princess Minyue. ”
Li Wenyan's heart is mixed with happiness and worry.
Min Yue has been riding on her head since she was born, and because the two are both clan girls, they have been secretly compared, Li Wenyan has long hated Min Yue, and now she is excited when she hears that there is an opportunity to trip Min Yue and make her lose face in front of everyone from now on.
"I'm going to tell the queen about this!"
When a henchman heard this, he was so frightened that he knelt directly on the ground: "Your Highness, isn't it inappropriate to stab this matter to the queen's mother?" ”
"What's wrong?" As soon as Li Wenyan thought that Minyue would be planted in front of her, her reputation plummeted, and from then on, she would be poked and pointed at by everyone when she went out, and she felt a sense of pleasure in her heart that she had succeeded in taking revenge, but now that this idea was stopped, Li Wenyan's face was a little more dissatisfied, and even the expression of looking at the maid became unkind.
"Your Royal Highness, what do you think, if this kind of thing happens, the queen mother, as the biological mother of Princess Minyue, the first thing to do is to help Princess Minyue hide it, and then you will have to kill people and kill people, if you take the initiative to stab this matter in front of the queen mother, the first person to take the knife will definitely be you!"
This maid seems to be right, the queen seems to be gentle and kind on the surface, but in fact, how can a person who has been able to sit in that position for many years really be a person who has no means?
I don't know how many cruel things I have done behind my back!
But even so, Li Wenyan still thought about making Minyue completely embarrassed.
This is a once-in-a-century opportunity.
"Isn't there a way to do both?"
The maid's eyes rolled, and she came up with an idea after a while: "The slave maid has a way to disgrace Princess Minyue without making people suspect you, Your Highness." ”
