Li Yuqing was completely whitewashed because of the Liang Monthly Report, and the old lady of several military generals' families, he felt that the girl was straight, understood the rules and advanced and retreated properly, and did not suffer losses, and had great potential to be a daughter-in-law, so he specially invited a matchmaker to come to the door to say goodbye.

Guan Heqiu's reputation has irretrievably stinked all the way, and more than half of the social circle of the ladies in Beijing are very touched by Song Zhao's friendship with Guan Heqiu. The character of Song Zhao's scumbag has changed from rare to stupid.

But no one in Beijing still dared to send her daughter to the Duke of Wei's mansion to be the wife of the prince, and when the good deeds took advantage of the banquet to walk around, they also persuaded the Duchess of Wei to simply let Song Zhao marry Guan Heqiu, which can be regarded as a great joy.

The Duchess of Wei was angry and immediately let go, preferring that Song Zhao would never marry for life, and would never allow Guan Heqiu to be the wife of the prince.

Since Song Zhao and Qingrong broke up unhappily, they stopped for a while, and Qingrong didn't take what Song Zhao said to heart.

But just in March, there was a tabloid called Houzhai gossip out of nowhere.

The above is made up, reversing black and white about the matter between the county lord of Huatang and Du Ruoyun, and not saying anything about Du Ruoyun's whitewashing. The above also counts Qingrong and Runrong, two tyrannical and domineering from childhood to college, and does not abide by the discipline and female morality. To put it bluntly, Qingrong seduced Ye Qin, Song Zhao, and Yuan Heng successively.

When the county lord of Huatang saw this newspaper, he tore it to shreds angrily.

"Hateful, hateful!" Huatang County was angry and could only say these two words.

Runrong said: "Who could it be?" ”

Mei Rui snorted and said, "It's Song Shizi!" He came in a rage the last time, saying that he was also going to send someone to spread rumors about the second girl. ”

Lord Huatang was a little incredulous, "To help his cousin get angry? ”

Mrs. Fengguo said: "I haven't found out yet, so it's not good to say that." ”

"It's not Song Zhao!" Although Qingrong has no evidence at the moment, she is sure that Song Zhao can't do this kind of malicious slander.

"Whether it's her or not, I always have to go into the palace to say a word to the Queen Mother." After all, Mrs. Fengguo is a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, and she doesn't pay attention to it at all.

Qingrong looked at the newspaper carefully and said, "Maybe it's a blessing in disguise!" ”

As soon as Ye Qin saw the newspaper, he went to the door on the same day, and said sincerely to Qingrong: "Cousin, don't worry!" I'll explain it to you, and I won't let anyone slander you like that! ”

Qingrong looked at Ye Qin's anxious look, and felt that he couldn't drag him ambiguously anymore, "Cousin Qin, the matter between the two of us has passed, even if you and Ling Rong don't have a marriage contract now, I don't plan to marry you again." ”

Ye Qin didn't expect Qingrong to say this suddenly, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately said in a panic: "I know, I know, you are still angry with me." The previous thing was that I was immature and steady, and I was too stingy. I apologize to you. ”

Ye Qin's Taoist is sincere, since he thought that the two were reconciled, he didn't stop sending things here in Qingrong, what rouge gouache, calligraphy and painting fans, gold and silver embroidery threads and the like. When it came to the Qingming Festival, he drew a picture of a young elephant with a clear face and made it into a kite.

Although Qingrong has no expectations for this matter from God, he understands his intentions in the end.

"Cousin Qin, you are good to me, I know. I like it very much and get used to it, and because of this, I feel that marrying you is a matter of course. However, since I was robbed of my marriage by Ling Rong, I have become more and more aware day by day that I can give up you. ”

Qingrong's words made Ye Qin even more confused, and he looked at Qingrong in confusion.

Qingrong said: "To tell you the truth, when you want to elope with me, the first thought that comes to my mind is that I can't go with you. I just like you. Qingrong hung his head a little unbearably.

Ye Qin let go of the hand holding Qingrong and left in despair.

After saying that, Qingrong naturally breathed a sigh of relief. When he waited until Qingming the day after tomorrow, he immediately told Yuan Heng. Qingrong thought, in this way, Yuan Heng will not always be soaked in the vinegar jar, suffering from gains and losses.

But before Qingming, Yuan Heng quietly came to Xin'er, saying that it was a critical moment, and the two avoided suspicion, so it was not good to meet again, and in vain discredited Qingrong's reputation.

Qingrong was disappointed and unhappy in his heart, but thinking of Yuan Heng's cautious and steady nature, it was understandable to do this. Simply, Yuan Heng wrote a letter to explain the reason, which made Qingrong reluctantly understand him.

On the other side, the county lord of Huatang went around to find out who wrote the gossip in the back house, and this back and forth found the head of the small bookstore outside the city. The bookstore originally pirated the Daliang monthly newspaper and sent it to the surrounding areas of Gyeonggi.

The lord of Huatang County was furious, and immediately sued the yamen and asked people to seal the small bookstore.

Just when Mrs. Fengguo's whole house was concentrating on how to eliminate the negative impact of the gossip in the inner house, a holy decree suddenly came.

Qingrong and the others knelt in the courtyard in an orderly manner, listening to the eunuch who announced the decree, and read in a thin voice:

Fengtian carrier, the emperor said.

Now there is the granddaughter of Mrs. Fengguo, the second daughter of the Shen family, after the Qing noble family, the title of Yide, the line of elegance, the etiquette of Kexian, the cover of Shen's poetry and book heirloom, the hairpin is also Zhong Lingyuxiu has the talent of Yongxu, and now and the year to be the word golden boudoir. Song Zhao, the son of the Duke of Wei, has both talent and morality, both civil and military, and the two of them have a good relationship with heaven. The people are related to the prosperity of the country, and the two of them are of one heart and one mind, and they will respect the country and do not live up to their intentions.

Chin this

The county lord of Huatang was shocked, and said, "Who is it?" ”

The eunuch who announced the decree replied: "Second Miss Shen is still not ready to receive the decree and thank you?" ”

Qingrong was shocked for a moment, and when he heard the reminder, he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and received the holy decree.

Mrs. Fengguo immediately arranged for someone to take care of the eunuchs and palace maids who came to announce the decree.

Runrong's face turned pale, and he said, "How could the emperor suddenly give Qingrong a marriage?" ”

The county lord of Huatang looked at Mrs. Fengguo and said, "Madam, don't you know? ”

Mrs. Fengguo shook her head with a solemn expression.

Qingrong received the will and has been silent.

Runrong sighed with tears in her eyes: "How could it be Song Zhao!" ”

The lord of Huatang said: "This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that the emperor wants to give Qingrong a marriage, why didn't he ask his wife?" ”

Mrs. Fengguo's mind turned very fast, and said: "You don't have to be surprised, the emperor has discussed it with the queen mother, and I will not know it." The emperor did not mention it to the queen mother, I am afraid that this idea was made by the concubine, and the people who came to announce the decree were all embarrassed in front of the concubine. ”

"Don't guess," Qingrong stood in the room, and saw Princess Yongping enter the door generously, without even a single pass. "Someone who knows why is coming."

The little girl who led Princess Yongping was very uneasy, and when she saw Mrs. Fengguo at the door, she whispered: "Madam, the princess doesn't tell us to pass it on." ”

Princess Yongping entered the door proudly, and everyone immediately saluted her.

She held her head high and said with a smile: "Shen Qingrong, are you satisfied with the matchmaker I made for you?" ”

The county lord of Huatang was shocked, but in an instant, she understood that it was mostly because of Yuan Heng. After all, she is not blind, Qingrong knows a little about her dealings with Yuan Heng.

Qingrong's fists were clenched, but he didn't want Princess Yongping to see his jokes, so he immediately said stiffly: "I naturally want to thank Princess Yongping." Otherwise, with my background, I may not be able to marry into a family like the Duke of Wei in such a beautiful way. ”

Princess Yongping saw Qingrong's unfazed appearance, and instantly felt bored.

She teamed up with Shen Lingrong to get such a newspaper to discredit Shen Qingrong, and took advantage of Shen Qingrong's fame to get her and Song Zhao together. How painstaking she was to get her father to grant marriage. Make a pair of Shen Qingrong and Song Zhao, the annoying bastard scoundrel!

"Shen Qingrong, if you don't feel happy in your heart, you won't be happy, so why force a smile! But you don't have to feel too wronged, you and Song Zhao are fundamentally the same kind of people, a pair made in heaven and a pair set in the earth! Princess Yongping stared at Qingrong tightly, refusing to give up any of her weak looks.

The county lord of Huatang couldn't stand it, and was furious, "Isn't the princess afraid of retribution like this?" ”

Princess Yongping sneered: "Shen Qingrong is not afraid of retribution if he wins people's love? She smiled again and said, "Oh, she has been punished." Princess Yongping finished speaking, and turned around and left with a laugh.

Mrs. Fengguo glanced at Qingrong with a cold expression and said, "What do you mean to be loved?" ”

Qingrong immediately knelt down and said: "Don't dare to deceive my grandmother, I, I am in love with the Yuan Gongzi of Jiangxiahou Mansion." ”

Mrs. Fengguo suddenly realized, she was a little stunned for a while, and she couldn't say anything for a while.

Runrong was very sympathetic to Qingrong, couldn't help crying, and said, "What can I do!" Song Zhao is such a bastard person, and the Song family is also a mess. ”

Mrs. Fengguo said expressionlessly: "What can I do?" If you have caused the iniquity, you must pay it back yourself. Although Song Zhao's reputation is not good, it is not necessarily a blessing or a curse to marry into the Song family. Mrs. Fengguo said, glanced at Runrong reproachfully, and said, "Don't cry! ”

The lord of Huatang County was unwilling, and asked Mrs. Fengguo: "Is there any room for turning around?" ”

Runrong said: "I, Qingrong and I still have filial piety on our bodies, we can always drag it on for a year and a half!" ”

Mrs. Fengguo shook her head, "Not to mention that you and Qingrong have already passed to me, so you don't have to keep filial piety." Even if you drag it out for a year and a half, what can you do? Who can disobey the divine decree? Mrs. Fengguo said, glanced at the county lord of Huatang, and said, "If it weren't for Du Ruoyun's heinous crime, do you think you can say that you can make peace and leave?" ”

Qingrong's heart seemed to be prepared, and said indifferently: "There is no need to delay anything, since the holy decree has been made, I am afraid that there is no room for repentance." ”

She knew too well in her heart that even Mrs. Fengguo's status could not fight against the imperial power. As a little transparent, she has no other way out than to accept it silently. In the face of the strong X of life, she can't resist and can only lie down.

Mrs. Fengguo was extremely surprised by Shen Qingrong's receptivity, and couldn't help but rack her brains to comfort Qingrong.

At this time, he heard Qingrong say calmly: "Although the county lord has let people demolish the small bookstore outside the city, I am afraid that small newspapers such as the gossip of the inner house will continue to pop up. Invite your grandmother to enter the palace, and explain to the queen mother that in the future, the newspapers and periodicals of Daliang can only be run by the government, and are not allowed to be run by the people. Those involved in the gossip of the inner house will all be severely punished, and the driving force behind it is bound to be found. ”

This can be regarded as whitewashing himself before entering the Wei State Mansion. lest after entering the Wei State Mansion, because of this trumped-up charge, he will not be welcomed.

Qingrong seems to have seen the days of the next few decades at a glance, and I don't know how many tough battles will be fought in the future!

However, thinking of her rejection of Song Zhaoshili's FG of "never marry him", I suddenly felt a pain in my face.
