73. Conversation with the Emperor

The group walked like this for a while, and the people they met on the way also exchanged salutes and hurriedly passed by. Princess Yulan didn't understand, so she followed Chen Chenyi's side all the way, for fear that something would go wrong.

After a short time, the group came to the door of Kunning Palace.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and I've seen the Second Young Master." The maids and guards guarding the palace gate also saluted respectfully when they saw that they came.

Song Anxiao, who was walking in front, stopped his steps, and looked back meaningfully at Chen Chenyi and Princess Yulan, who were a few steps away from him. At this time, Chen Chenyi had already put away the carefree attitude on the carriage, his face was serious and silent, and there was a slight displeasure between his expressions and eyebrows.

Princess Yulan, who followed by her, still covered half of her face with a veil, and she couldn't see her expression clearly, but the tenderness in her eyes was like a river of spring water. If it were an ordinary man, I am afraid that he would have been deeply immersed in it, but what stood in front of him was Song Anxiao, who had always been cold.

The high city walls, the long palace road, and the threshold in front of you at this time seem to isolate everything. As long as you cross this threshold, whether you are greeted with joy or sorrow will not be controlled by Song Anxiao......

Song Anxiao, who had a serious expression, led Song Ranwan to take the lead in entering the Kunning Palace, followed by Chen Chenyi and Princess Yulan.

Xinlan, as a maid, had to follow Lu Ming because she didn't understand the rules of the palace, and stopped outside the hall after entering Kunning Palace.

"The child has seen his father, the queen mother, and the concubine Qi."

"Wan'er has seen her father, the queen mother, and Concubine Qi."

Entering the main hall, Song Anxiao and Song Ranwan bowed deeply. Chen Chenyi, who followed closely, was also courteous.

And Princess Yulan, who didn't know the rules, knelt down, put her hands together on her chest, bowed her head slightly, and greeted the emperor and queen with the rules of her own Ulan country.

The emperor looked at the arrival of everyone, and naturally showed a fatherly smile on his face, and smiled to let everyone be exempt, his eyes seemed to be full of light, staring directly at Princess Yulan; The queen mother sitting beside her was dressed in graceful and luxurious clothes, full of kindness, but her eyes looked at Song Anxiao a little coldly.

Concubine Qi, who was sitting in the lower seat, sat on the same side as the lady of the General's Mansion, sitting dignifiedly, but there was a faint displeasure in her eyes.

"Sit down! Don't even stand! The emperor saw that everyone was standing in the hall one after another, and he also spoke.

When everyone heard this, they also found their own places and sat down. Song Anxiao sat down first, and Chen Chenyi sat beside him; Song Ranwan ran to the queen's side, and the maid quickly moved a chair to Song Ranwan when she saw this, leaving Princess Yulan a little at a loss, so she sat down beside her lady.

"What day do you say it is? I looked at Xiuxiu early in the morning and came to look for me, saying that the queen was in a hurry to see me. But this time, you just went straight here one by two? Seeing that everyone was almost together, the emperor couldn't help but show a little doubt on his face.

Listening to the emperor's questions, everyone in the hall is also you look at me, I look at you, no one dares to open this mouth first.

"What? Do you have to ask them one by one? The emperor looked at everyone's reaction, and the doubts on his face became a little thicker.

"Your Majesty." Seeing that the scene was once in an embarrassing situation, Concubine Qi also opened her mouth with interest and broke the silence.

got up early and entered the palace to see the saint's wife, and as soon as she entered the palace, she rushed to the palace of Concubine Qi, and the intention was naturally self-evident: it was for Chen Chenyi and Lin Ruo's affairs.

When Concubine Keqi was about to take her wife to find the emperor, the next person who went out to do business came back and told the two: The emperor went to the palace of the queen's mother.

Concubine Qi thought that the queen was not an outsider, after all, Song Anxiao and Chen Chen had such a good relationship. Therefore, Concubine Qi did not see outside, and rushed to Kunning Palace with her wife. But as soon as the front foot touched Kunning Palace, Song Anxiao and his party also came.

"The concubine brought her sister to find the emperor, for the sake of dust." After Concubine Qi broke the atmosphere, she opened her mouth gently.

"Oh?" When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help frowning and questioned. As soon as Chen Chen heard Concubine Qi's words, he was also a little stunned and looked up, while Song Anxiao, who was sitting calmly beside him, secretly observed the emperor's reaction.

"Your Majesty, we all know that when Chenyi was still in infancy, he made a doll kiss with Miss Lin Ruo, the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Thinking about it, it has been a few years since this incident, and it stands to reason that the two should get married now because of the words of the matchmaker of their parents. ”

Concubine Qi continued to speak gently, speaking in an orderly manner, but Chen Chen couldn't sit still when she heard it. Letting go of the cup in his hand, and just as he was about to speak, Song Anxiao beside him deliberately spilled some tea in the cup, and the two looked at each other, Chen Chen looked at the indifference in Song Anxiao's eyes, and then controlled himself to calm down.

Concubine Qi, who was sitting opposite, looked directly at the emperor, naturally she didn't know Chen Chenyi's reaction, or continued to talk eloquently: "But behind this, there is another thing that I don't know. As early as when Chen Yixiao had his own opinions, he expressed his dislike for this marriage contract, so as early as a few years ago, his sister came to the door to apologize, and the two families also wrote off this doll kiss. ”

"I heard that some time ago, didn't the eldest lady of the Lin family still throw hydrangeas in the capital to choose a marriage?" When Concubine Qi said the back, the emperor's face gradually became ugly, and others didn't dare to say anything more when they saw it. But just as Concubine Qi's words fell, Song Anxiao opened her mouth coldly.

Song Anxiao's words, although there is no beginning or end, but they pick out the key points. Song Anxiao guessed that if the prime minister mentioned the doll kiss to the emperor, it would definitely not mention the day the hydrangea was thrown.

"Is that true?" Sure enough, as soon as the emperor heard Song Anxiao's words, the ugliness on his face turned into a little angry.

"True and false children dare not make assertions, they are only hearsay." Song Anxiao opened his mouth lightly and threw out a branch for the emperor to guess.

"Since An Xiao is hearsay, then I have also had such a hearsay in recent days." The emperor thought for a while, his eyes swept to everyone, and he leaned back slightly and said in a loud voice: "I heard that the second young master of the General's Mansion is deeply obsessed with a woman with no identity and unknown origin? I don't know if there is such a thing? ”

"The Emperor's ......"

"Father, at this time, the child implores you to think long-term, and at this time there is an inseparable relationship with the child. The child wants to make a conclusion with you in private, and hopes that his father will agree. ”

"An Xiao!"

Regarding what the emperor said, Chen Chen didn't have time to open his mouth to make a defense, so Song Anxiao opened his mouth first. But after Song Anxiao said this, the queen sitting next to her became anxious. The lady, who had been silent, saw this situation, her eyes were also full of surprise, and at the same time she set her eyes on Song Anxiao.

"It seems that the people who came here today are all clearly interpreted: nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace?" Seeing everyone's reaction like this, the emperor had a more or less bottom in his heart, and the expression on his face was slightly softened.

"That's it!" When everyone heard the emperor's words, they didn't dare to say more, so they kept silent. And the emperor lowered his head when he looked at everyone, and there was a clear smile on his face.

"It's really a scripture that is difficult to read in every family!"

"Concubine, you and your wife should accompany Princess Yulan from afar and walk around the palace. An Xiao and Chenyi, you stay! Let me listen, you both have something to tell me. ”

The emperor looked at everyone's faces like frosted eggplants, and he also knew that with Princess Yulan sitting, these people would inevitably have some difficult words to speak.

"The Emperor's ......"

"That's it! How? What I say now, it doesn't work? ”

As the emperor's words fell, Concubine Qi seemed to be a little embarrassed, got up and looked at the queen with deep eyes.

"Then it's better for the queen to go with her!"

The emperor looked at this group of people with different expressions, and his tone was also full of impatience.

"Yes, Your Majesty." After listening to the emperor's words, Concubine Qi and her wife no longer dared to say more, and the queen even got up to respond.

Then he glared at Song Anxiao with a somewhat cold gaze, this cold gaze was very similar to Song Anxiao's eyes in the past......

"What should have disappeared has disappeared, and what shouldn't have disappeared has also disappeared, so talk about it!" After everyone left, the emperor's eyes were also staring at the two of them a little sternly.

After Chen Chen and Song Anxiao glanced at each other, they all set their eyes on the emperor.

"Your Majesty, there is a ...... about the Prime Minister's Mansion"

"That's it! Actually, I've heard about your cancellation of your engagement for a long time. This time, the prime minister talked to me about the doll kiss, I thought it was because the two of you couldn't pull it off, and I thought I would give you this step! The emperor didn't seem to pay any attention to Chen Chenyi's matter, and his tone was arrogant as if he had already known the result.

"As for the girl you heard about......" Chen Chen was relieved when he saw that the emperor was relieved about this matter, and most of his heart was relieved. can mention Lu Yanyue, Chen Chenyi put on an unspeakable look, and looked at Song Anxiao with a vague hint of asking for help in his eyes.

Song Anxiao glanced at Chen Chenyi lightly, and then calmly faced the emperor and spoke: "Father, the girl you have heard of is not without identity and from unknown origin. You have also seen this girl, it is the girl brought by the Royal Forest Army from the Yongshou Palace when the last time Concubine Duan had a miscarriage. ”

Her deceased parents and Wan'er's benefactors, in desperation after the loss of her parents, she took Wan'er's token to the Song Mansion. The child missed the kindness of her parents and looked at her pitifully, which made her stay in the Song Mansion. ”

After listening to Song Anxiao's words, the emperor also looked a little thoughtful, and then said in a calm tone: "In this way, I have a little impression. ”

"Then since you live in the Song Mansion, how can it be passed on to the dust!" The emperor asked after thinking for a while.

"Dust has always taken Wan'er out of the house to relax, and it is inevitable that he will take Yan ...... Miss Lu went out of the house together. As soon as Chen Chen said, he almost kindly called out Yan Yue.

"I'm afraid that I'll be seen by people who are not evil, so I'll make a big fuss about it!"

Chen Chen said this, and looked at the emperor with a little determination in his eyes.
