Qingrong didn't take Tang's words to heart, she knew very well what kind of character Tang was.

Tang is not stupid, nor is he stupid, nor is he really outspoken. She dared to say this, but she didn't take Qingrong and Song Zhao seriously at all.

Qingrong smiled disapprerovingly, as if he hadn't heard it. Tang Shi was fine, smiled at Qingrong, and said, "Sister-in-law, this pot tastes really good, or the things in your house are good, the chef specially invited them." The next time I want to eat, this cook will have to borrow me. ”

Song Zhao said slowly: "This can't be borrowed, the pot is made by Qingrong himself, and the chef in our yard is an ordinary cook." Besides, even if we do, we won't lend you. ”

"Big brother doesn't look like a stingy person," Tang thought Song Zhao was joking with her, but he didn't care, "It's just a cook." ”

Song Zhaowen swallowed: "It's not that we are stingy, but we are afraid that our younger brothers and sisters will think that we are hypocritical." ”

Qingrong didn't expect Song Zhao to stab back, but he couldn't hold back, poofed, and laughed.

Song Hui's face was even more ugly, and he glared at Tang, "I can't stop your mouth when I eat." ”

Tang Shi was very faceless, her face was red and white, but this pot was delicious, and she didn't eat much. Song Hui didn't get up to leave, and it was even more difficult for her to leave. smiled awkwardly and said, "Sister-in-law still has such a good craft, don't hide your secrets in Ming'er, you must teach me." ”

Qingrong responded with a smile, and said separately: "When I came back, the second uncle and the third uncle were kneeling in the Shouxi Hall, I look like that, I'm afraid I will have to kneel for a long time." ”

Song Zhao ate carelessly, and said to Song Hui: "After eating for a while, you go back and take a look, I won't go." ”

Song Hui's eyes dimmed a little, and he hummed lightly.

Everyone had a stuffy meal with their own thoughts, and during the banquet, it was just Song Zhao and Song Hui brothers talking about errands and scientific examinations.

After Song Hui and his wife finished eating and left, Song Zhao looked at Qingrong triumphantly and asked her, "How is it, I can protect you enough." ”

Qingrong glanced at Song Zhao and said, "Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief." ”

Song Zhao did have something to discuss with Qingrong, but he was broken by her words, and he was embarrassed. But in an instant, he remembered Yuan Heng's matter, and immediately preemptively said: "The matter between you and Yuan Heng is true or false." ”

"Really." In fact, before the separation, when Song Zhao just asked, Qingrong had already thought about confessing and being lenient.

"Really?" Song Zhao repeated without looking back, looked at Qingrong in surprise, and said, "Really? ”

Qingrong nodded generously and calmly, and said, "Really." Let's put it this way, if I hadn't married you, I'd probably marry him. ”

Song Zhao was simply taken aback, and said in a daze: "You, aren't you from Ye Qin?" ”

Qingrong said: "Follow the emperor to the south until the marriage." ”

Song Zhao was even more incredulous, stood up with a bang, and paced back and forth in the room, "Isn't that why I ruined your marriage?" ”

Qingrong thought about it, shook his head lazily, and said: "Speaking of which, I have nothing to do with him, and I can't blame anyone, if it's really weird, I also have to blame Princess Yongping." ”

Song Zhao walked in front of Qingrong, pressed on Qingrong's stool, looked at Qingrong fixedly, and said, "Then you have no feelings for him now?" ”

Qingrong was not very accustomed to such a close distance, and while tilting his head back, he stretched out a finger against Song Zhao's chest, and said, "If I really have no feelings for him, I dare to tell you so generously." ”

Song Zhao looked at Qingrong with some suspicion, but he also believed her, "Then why are you talking to me." ”

Qingrong smiled and said: "In the end, the two of us got married, and I have no idea of remarrying." lest you hear it from others in the future, and it will affect the stability and unity within our family. ”

Song Zhao stood up with a sneer, and said quietly: "You are honest, aren't you afraid that I will be angry about this?" ”

"Haven't you heard a word?" All love will be, impermanence is rare for a long time. There are many fears in life, and life is in danger of morning dew. From love to worry, from love to fear, if you are separated from your lover, worry-free and fearless'" said calmly.

Song Zhao's expression froze, and then Mu Ran asked her with a smile, "What do you mean by this, you don't love me, so you are carefree and fearless?" ”

Qingrong nodded as a matter of course, "You don't love me either, and I don't love you either, the two of us are married by the emperor, and we rely on contracts to maintain our relationship." Without emotional ties, the relationship is much more purely rational. I don't expect anything from you, and you don't expect anything from me. So there is no great privacy involved, weighing the pros and cons, of course, it can be said. ”

Song Zhao looked at Qingrong with some strangeness, "Can you always keep your sanity like this?" ”

Qingrong couldn't help laughing and asked Song Zhaodao, "Big brother, you said that if I don't keep my senses." I'll kill the Wind Lotus Courtyard in minutes and hack Aunt Guan to death. ”

Song Zhao couldn't help but sink his face, and said awkwardly: "What about the two of us, what are you doing with Ah Qiu for no reason?" ”

"I have been in the Shen Mansion since I was a child, and I watched Shen Zezhang fight with Aunt Zhao and his mother for Aunt Dong. As Aunt Dong, or as a bystander. Shen Zezhang is singing and crying for Aunt Dong's affection. ”

Qingrong paused slightly, took a sip of tea, and then continued.

"As an insider, as a victim. I hate Shen Zezhang's behavior very much, he doesn't like Aunt Zhao, he doesn't like his wife, he can enter the door without marrying them. Even if you marry in unwillingly and reluctantly, you shouldn't conspire and calculate behind your back. For the sake of a woman's safety and smoothness, a group of women were sacrificed. They didn't do anything wrong, even if they were wrong, they just married Shen Zezhang. ”

Song Zhao had never heard of Qingrong's assertions and statements, he felt very novel, and after thinking about it carefully, he still felt that there was some truth.

"So, after you marry me, you will be so thoughtful and force me to sign an agreement by any means?"

Qingrong said: "There is such a thing as an agreement, which restricts the gentleman and does not restrain the villain. I just want to protect myself as best I can. Fortunately, you Song Zhao are not bastards like Shen Zezhang. ”

Song Zhao was a little embarrassed, because in his heart, even fundamentally his thoughts were the same as Shen Zezhang. He can sacrifice the interests of any woman in his house for the sake of Guan Heqiu. Even if it's Qingrong, it's not a problem.

Qing Rong was watching Song Zhao coldly at this time, and he could see the fluctuations in Song Zhao's eyes. However, she was as smart as her, but she didn't plan to break it, but continued: "So I found a mistake and kicked Aunt Du out." In the future, I will continue to drive out these aunts who are making trouble. ”

Song Zhao was a little stunned and said, "Rush out?" ”

Qingrong nodded as it should, "You can't drive them all out, such as Aunt Jin, where will you let her go back if you drive her away." ”

Song Zhao said curiously: "What are you going to do with those who can't be driven away?" ”

Qingrong had obviously already thought about it, "I'll let them do something else, and if I can't count on you, I'll find some other hope for them." In this way, lest the inner courtyard revolve around you all day long, and they will not be envious, jealous and hateful of Guan Heqiu, and what will be difficult for Guan Heqiu to frame me. ”

Song Zhao couldn't help but ask Qingrong rhetorically, "Don't you envy, jealousy, and hate?" ”

Qingrong said calmly: "I only think about getting rich now, and I don't have hope for true love and you." ”

Song Zhao looked at Qingrong a little speechlessly.

Qingrong didn't care what he thought, and said bluntly: "I'm not like those aunts, and I can still be expelled from the house." I am a young lady given by the emperor to marry, and I am afraid that I can only be this vase for the rest of my life. ”

Qingrong's voice was very plain and unwavering, but when Song Zhao heard it in his ears, there was an indescribable loneliness and helplessness, which made people feel sad and pitiful.

He turned around, turned his back to Qingrong, seemed to have made up his mind, and promised her: "If yes, if you really meet the true love you said one day, I, I can let you go." ”

Qingrong didn't take it seriously, but smiled appreciatively: "Then I will thank the prince for the fulfillment." ”

Song Zhao said: "If you really thank me, don't let Ah Qiu come to the Begonia Courtyard to salute you and offer you tea in the future." Let her be in the Wind Lotus Courtyard. ”

Qingrong secretly slandered, she knew that Song Zhao had this kindness, or to change favors for Guan Heqiu. But she doesn't care, even if all of Song Zhao's concubines don't come to ask for peace, she doesn't care.

Seeing that Song Zhao was leaving, Qingrong couldn't help but remind him: "I said before that I asked Sister Yu to come to my house to learn calligraphy, but because of the eldest sister and second sister, I didn't care about it after I came back." You go and talk to Aunt Bi, you don't have to send your sister to school early in the morning. ”

Song Zhao answered, had already bypassed the screen, and walked out.

Mei Rui came in from outside, and saw that Qingrong's face was just right, there was nothing wrong, and she couldn't help but whisper: "The prince is not here today?" ”

Qingrong stretched and said, "You don't care if he stays or not, if he stays, I can't sleep well." By the way, you talk to Sister Yucui, Sister Yu will come to learn "Women's Rules" and recognize words with her, so that she can pay more attention to Sister Yu'er's progress. ”

Mei Rui hesitated: "Why do you bother to care about Sister Yu, that Aunt Bi is not a good stubble." You provoke Sister Shangyu, and you are afraid that Aunt Bi will take advantage of Aunt Guan's convenience to give you eye medicine in front of the prince. ”

Qingrong was a little disapproving, and said: "I don't want to take Sister Yu over to raise her, but I feel sorry for the child being bullied by the second and third rooms every day in school, and I can't learn anything." ”

Mei Rui said: "If you don't take the top prize, don't be blind, it's enough to read and read at home." ”

Qingrong and Mei Rui explained that they couldn't understand the harm that bullying had brought to Sister Yu, and only said vaguely: "If it doesn't work, let's say it can't be done." ”

Mei Rui's worries are not superfluous at all.

For the sake of where Sister Yu went to school, early the next morning, Aunt Bi led Guan Heqiu to make trouble.
