Chapter 19: Public Maintenance

She really learned Pan Yueqing's appearance ten out of ten.

What Song Xi is most tired of is Tong Shanshan's appearance. What naturally reveals is the intimacy with Pan Yueqing. It always seemed to remind her that she was the only one who was recognized as Mrs. Pan, and the bond between her and Pan Yueqing was so deep that no one could set foot on it.

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

Suddenly, the sound of singing woke everyone up, except for the Queen Mother and Princess Xiping, everyone else was busy kneeling on the ground and saluting.

"Get up, get up." The emperor in the prime of life smiled heartily, and slowly came from outside the long pavilion, a pair of sharp eyes swept over Shanshan without a trace, like a cold and hard blade brushing, leaving a burst of coldness, but he laughed again in an instant, as if everything was just Shanshan's illusion, "This time I am disturbed, but this is not to blame me, it is all to blame Qingyang!" ”

The Queen Mother looked at Pan Yueqing, who was standing beside Emperor Xuanjing but was not covered up, and then looked at the two people with different temperaments around her, the more she looked, the more she felt that Ziwei was very compatible with him, if it wasn't for the orphan of the Tong family who had contributed to the Tang Dynasty halfway, it was not certain who was the head lady.

"Qingyang is here to pick up Madame?" Thinking so, the Queen Mother felt more and more sorry for Song Xi, patted Song Xi's hand lovingly, and asked Pan Yueqing with a smile.

Pan Yueqing bowed without humility or arrogance: "The Queen Mother is well, tomorrow Qingyang will be an envoy to the desert country, and she can have a free time today." ”

"That's supposed to be close, close." The Queen Mother pulled Song Xi forward a few steps, pushed her in the direction of Pan Yueqing, and said with a satisfied smile, "Go quickly, it's the palace that delays you." ”

Emperor Xuan Jing also smiled and accosted: "Qingyang hurts inside, but I have become a bad person, and I want them to separate the two places." ”

It seems that Song Xi is really Pan Yueqing's wife, and Tong Shanshan is just a concubine who entered the house in advance. The wives of the generals below clenched their fists, if it weren't for a calm person pulling them, I'm afraid they would have stood up and screamed injustice.

In fact, Song Xi and Shanshan are the same as Shanshan, they are people who owe a lot to the Tang royal family, the difference is that Shanshan's parents are to protect the family and defend the country, more for the people, and Song Xi is a victim of the emperor's seizure of the throne.

Will this room full of people care more about a person who has helped his own interests or a person who has saved the people of the world, but is not their interests?

The answer is obvious.

Of course, shame is shameful, and anger is of course anger, but Shanshan knows that Pan Yueqing can't do anything, and his actions still depend on what these masters think.

Shanshan's right hand held the wrist of her left hand, her back was straight, and her eyes looked straight ahead without looking at anyone, as if whoever came to take anyone had nothing to do with her.

"Thank you for your understanding." Pan Yueqing crossed the Queen Mother and looked at Shanshan, she looked out of place among all the ladies with different charms, I don't know if she was used to seeing her sitting on a horse in a riding costume, and now the cumbersome palace clothes were added, but she felt that it was not suitable for her at all, the white neck was exposed, and it was fragile like a jade statue that was about to be crushed.

Pan Yueqing obviously knew that he couldn't embarrass the Queen Mother and Song Xi on such an occasion, because unlike the situation where the generals were in decline, the Song family was in full swing, and half of the Manchu Dynasty officials were related to the Song family, and he also knew what Emperor Xuanjing meant by what he said bitterly along the way, but what he said was: "The Queen Mother misunderstood, Qingyang is here to pick up Shan'er." ”

"Pan Yueqing!" Emperor Xuanjing was stunned and looked at him disapprovingly.

Pan Yueqing did not waver, stepped forward and took Shanshan's hand, the warm big hand wrapped Shanshan's small hand clenched into a fist, and when he looked at the Queen Mother, his eyebrows were cold, and he didn't care at all that his identity was a minister, and the one in front of him was the mother of a country: "Shan'er is arrogant, if you are offended, please forgive me." ”

Shanshan lowered his head slowly, looked at Pan Yueqing and held his hand, the silent heart seemed to have been cast, and suddenly jumped happily, and the world was brightly colored in an instant, looking cute and lively.

Although the hand that was held was still affected by the cold wind, it was more about feeling the warmth transmitted by Pan Yueqing. In the garden, where the wind leaked on all sides and there was nowhere to stay, Pan Yueqing stood beside him without hesitation and blocked the cold wind for himself. No matter how many times Emperor Xuan Jing hinted hard or soft, no matter how bad the Queen Mother's face was, he still didn't mention Song Xi once in his words, and even his eyes were not respectful.

Shanshan held Pan Yueqing back, and his heart suddenly settled down, like a drifting and rocking boat finally landed.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, please forgive your sins. Qingyang and his wife retired first. ”

After seeing the two of them leave the table, I don't know why, all the ladies present seemed to have a bad breath inexplicably, and they praised Pan Yueqing very much in their hearts.

When he returned to Pan's house, he sat in the carriage when Pan Yueqing went to court, and neither of them spoke for a while, and after walking quietly for a while, Shanshan turned his head to look at him, he was holding a book of anecdotes about the desert country and reading it, which was regarded as understanding the folk affairs in advance.

"Why are you suddenly going to go to the desert country? Let's go tomorrow. ”

Pan Yueqing paused for a moment, closed the book and said, "Every emperor will always have some untimely ambitions, especially the young emperor in his first year. ”

Shanshan didn't quite understand: "But the desert people are not happy, and they can't help us and it's not worth our fight......"

"You know that." Pan Yueqing put the book on the small table and looked at her with a cold face, "What is worth going to such a banquet?" What about the Queen Mother, you told me that I naturally have a way to solve it. ”

Shanshan, who was originally speechless, stopped talking at all, and casually picked up a book from the city that he had put in the past to read.

This book is a book that Su Qi found to pass the time for Shanshan, and it is about the love between a vulgar poor scholar and a wild goblin.

There is a scene in it where a scholar has obtained fame and fame, and is given marriage by the emperor to marry a princess. The goblin was afraid that the scholar would resist the order, so he left by himself. In this way, I don't know how much I've read since I was a child.,The ending should be a lack of chance.,Even if it's a chance encounter one day.,It's just a passing by.,Or a little out of line.,Fairies and scholars cloud and rain overnight.,Disappeared without a trace.。 But most of the current ladies in the boudoir are too fragile, and the ending is changed to that the scholar doesn't even want a bright future, so he wants the wild goblin.

"Now the little girl, I can't accept life and death at all." Shanshan finished the whole book in a few clicks, and said with a smile, "Not to mention the authenticity of the goblin, even this resistance is enough for the scholar to cut off a few heads." ”

"Don't get off the hook." Pan Yueqing took away the book she was pretending to hold, looked at her and said, "The topic just now hasn't passed yet. ”

Shanshan straightened his sitting posture, cleared his throat and looked at Pan Yueqing. His eyes were clear, and he blinked a few times, as if he was a student listening carefully to the lecture.

Pan Yueqing had a headache, and he couldn't speak anymore, he rubbed his eyebrows and said: "Mother is old, it is inevitable to look forward and backward, you just listen to what you should listen to, you don't have to follow everything, otherwise you will be the one who suffers at that time." Do you understand? ”

Shanshan stretched out his hand to hug Yue Qing, rested his head on his chest, and sighed slightly: "I'm afraid of affecting you." His Majesty is very filial, and he is grateful to the Queen Mother, and he may not listen to the Queen Mother's words. You offended the Queen Mother like this today......"

"Don't just look at the surface, don't believe the rumors too much, Your Majesty doesn't value the Queen Mother as much as you said, even if Your Majesty does support Song Xi this time, but he understands in his heart that I have no thoughts about Song Xi, and compared to it, in Your Majesty's heart, you are still more likable." Pan Yueqing stroked Shanshan's bun and said in a low voice, "Although Taifu is worthy of respect, but behind Song Xi is standing now is Taiwei, and Taiwei has not been using the power of the family for a day or two, Your Majesty is not invisible, but there is no suitable opportunity to solve it." ”

But the attitude towards Pan Yueqing on the seat is not clear, why did Song Xi still marry Pan Yueqing? There is no other important reason other than trade-offs. The Tong family is a family of generals, and has held military power for more than a hundred years, and almost all the generals everywhere have some reasons with the Tong family.

Although Pan Yueqing has no background and is just an ordinary scholar, Pan Yueqing's ambition and strategy are still very fearful. If he really has the intention of forming a party for personal gain, I am afraid it will be difficult to prevent it.

So two years later, Song Xi entered the Pan family with such a humble and responsive attitude. The Song family was humiliated because of such a daughter who was willing to be a concubine, and they only had superficial friendship with the Pan family; And the old department of the Tong family, because the Pan family took a concubine before five years, had a lot of complaints about Pan Yueqing, and he worked with him several times in the court, and the aunts came to visit, and they also asked Shanshan if he was willing to leave, what side line has the son of Jiangmen to marry, and he would never be wronged Shanshan and so on......

When it comes to restraining each other, Emperor Xuanjing is called second, and no one dares to call it first.

"Don't think too much, you don't have to worry about things in the court." Pan Yueqing patted Shanshan soothingly, "Tomorrow I will travel far away, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in a short time, ...... at home There's Mrs. Law. ”

Shanshan thought of Song Xi and frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything more to worry about, the matter had come to this point, and he couldn't change it: "I am at home." ”

The two tacitly talked about others, such as the new dim sum shop on East Street, and the rouge shop on West Street was also new. On this day, Pan Yueqing rarely accompanied Shanshan to go shopping, and when they returned home in the evening, the two not only did not return to the Cold War period, but also had a stronger friendship than before.

The whole government breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just that Song Xi is not included in it.
