Chapter 271: The Emperor's Thoughts
"The princess of the county has a madness, and I ask the county lord to forgive me, and the slave will send the princess of the county back to the house, and ask the county lord for guilt later." The accompanying grandmother pleaded guilty to Song Xingchen.
"Mama is serious, it's just a trivial matter, and it's not worth remembering Mama." Song Xingchen bowed slightly, which was regarded as a return salute.
The current county king's mansion still looks beautiful, but it has actually been monitored by the queen's people.
Don't say that it is An Yanran's side, even if there are people guarding the county king's side, he usually serves Zhou Dao, but when he is not polite, he will definitely be taught a lesson.
As for Concubine An in the palace, when the third prince was named the king of the county, she was already a concubine, and now although she can occasionally be favored by the emperor, it is no longer the time to fight against the queen, so she can only be a man with her tail between her legs.
An Yanran was taken away by the grandmother in the palace, but Song Xingchen's mood was not affected at all.
A county king who doesn't even have a name, this is the most severe punishment given to him by the emperor, he can only live in such a humiliated life in this life, and if he dares to have the mind to turn the sky upside down, then he can only become a concubine.
However, in the end, it is the son of the heavenly family, and the emperor is still merciful to the three princes, and if it is someone else, under such criminal evidence, there is only one way to die.
"Xingchen, why don't we go back." Song Keymei said in a low voice.
"Scared?" Song Xingchen looked at Song Keymei and asked.
"Well, sort of." Song Keymei knew that there were some things she couldn't say outside, so she could only nod honestly.
"Let's go back then." Song Xingchen smiled lightly, and only after walking out of the teahouse did he say: "The person just now was the former third princess, and then something happened, she became the princess of the county, and now there are people who discipline her when she goes in and out." What happened just now, it seems that the person who was humiliated was me, but in fact she was the unlucky one. ”
Song Keymei nodded lightly and did not answer.
"Meizi, do you think I've become bad?" Song Xingchen asked.
"Nope." Song Keymei shook her head, "Since I got married, I have realized how beautiful my original life is, and the outside world is different from the place where we lived when we were children. I just married into the town, and my daily life is so tormented, it must be very difficult for you in the capital. And I see that the woman just now seems to be very hostile to you, if she hadn't taken the initiative to trouble you, you wouldn't have treated her like this, she deserved it. ”
Song Xingchen looked at Song Keymei with some surprise, and then smiled: "Yes, I don't know how to provoke her, maybe I have a grudge in my previous life, every time she sees me, she hates to kill me, she really sent someone to kill me before, but I didn't die." Now she still wants to get along with me, but she doesn't have the ability anymore. ”
"Xingchen, do you regret coming to the capital?" Song Keymei didn't know about the past, but she still felt very shocked when she heard it.
"No regrets." Song Xingchen shook his head, "I never regret what I did, forgot what I told you?" When man has eyes, he wants to look forward. ”
Song Keymei chuckled, "Yes, to look forward, I made a fool." ”
"Meizi, I did that just now, I also want to tell you that here in the capital is different from outside, although there are bullies, but many times, on some specific occasions, even if it is a noble person, at most they can only make it difficult for you verbally, and they don't dare to treat you well, especially if you live in the Song family now, they always have to give a little thin noodles. To tell you the truth, I let you go to the amusement park to do business, in fact, the contact is also with some people with status, but they will never dare to make trouble there, so you just have to worry about it boldly, as long as it is not your fault, you will straighten your waist and be a man, and I will cover you behind me. Song Xingchen said what he wanted to say and winked at Song Keymei.
"Thank you, Xingchen." Song Keymei's eyes were red with emotion, she blinked and forced her tears back, and said with a smile: "I know what to do, I won't let you down." ”
"Wrong, don't let yourself down, don't forget that you are a mother of two children, a woman is weak, and a mother is strong." Song Xingchen corrected.
"Women are weak, but mothers are strong." Song Keymei repeated this sentence, and her eyes gradually became firm.
"Women are weak, but mothers are strong?" A young man in fancy clothes on the side of the street repeated this sentence in a low voice, and looked up at Song Xingchen.
Seeing Song Xingchen combing the girl's hairstyle, her appearance was bright and stubborn, and her eyes couldn't help but flicker.
"Keep up, I want to know who this woman is." The young man in Chinese clothes commanded the attendant beside him.
Song Xingchen didn't know that someone was following her on her way home, but there were secret guards who would naturally stop her.
It's just that Song Xingchen is also a celebrity in the capital, and it is not difficult for the young man in Chinese clothes to find out her identity, but someone is blocking it, and it takes a lot of trouble.
"Second brother is coming back? Has the fighting at the border subsided? After Song Xingchen went home, he saw that his family was preparing to welcome Song Mu home, so he asked.
"Well, the good news has been sent to the palace, you have been playing outside for a short day, haven't you heard the news?" Song Sanshan said happily: "The loss of the enemy country this time is not small, I heard that a prince was sent to sue for peace, and now the military prestige of the Great Zhou State is famous all over the world, see who dares to start a war against us, and the people have a stable life." ”
Song Xingchen smiled silently, maybe this battle can temporarily settle those countries that are about to move, but if many countries gather, the result is really uncertain, after all, the interests are what any emperor wants to fight for.
In particular, the land of the Great Zhou Kingdom is fertile, the climate is more suitable for living, and there are many mineral veins.
"Xingchen, there is news from the palace, this time we want to talk about meritorious deeds, our Song family has been nominated by the emperor, this is a great joy, you should also prepare well, you can't let people pick out when you receive the order." Song Lu's joyful way.
"Mother, isn't it the first time that our family has received an order, and you want to specifically order me once?" Song Xingchen laughed, took Song Lu's arm and said coquettishly: "I've been busy lately, maybe I'm not at home when I receive the order, so don't toss me, stay at home for a day, maybe there will be a lot less silver in the account." Besides, I'm going to go out with the princess recently, even if someone comes from the palace, the princess will give me a top, my mother said is this reason? ”
"You girl, you're just afraid of trouble, I really can't do anything about you." Song Lu nodded at Song Xingchen's forehead helplessly, and when he saw Song Keymei standing aside and snickering, he asked, "Meizi, I asked someone to prepare a few clothes for you, which will be sent to your house." In addition, some jewelry and fabrics are prepared, you can see what else needs to be added, don't be polite to your aunt. ”
"No, I have enough clothes to wear, and besides, I don't go out to socialize, and I don't need jewelry." Song Keymei hurriedly waved her hand.
"Women love to be pretty, this is what the stars said, how can you be afraid of clothes?" Song Lu shook his head and said, "You girl, you are just polite to your aunt." When you were in your hometown, you were a little older baby, and every time you had something good, you didn't forget the stars, and the stars didn't take your light. Now that the family is rich, can't you repay the favor? Be polite to your aunt again, but your aunt is going to be angry, in her aunt's opinion, you are no different from your own daughter, it's just that you are just missing that mother. ”
Song Keymei's eyes were red, and under Song Xingchen's signal, she nodded and said, "Then thank you aunt, I'll go back and try it, if there is anything missing, I must tell my aunt." ”
Song Lu was satisfied, and after talking to Song Keymei for a while, he let her go back.
Not to mention that after Song Keymei saw the things in the room, she regretted that she nodded too quickly, but she also knew that Song Lu was sincere to her, and it was not easy to refuse.
What's more, there are a lot of things for the two daughters, Song Keymei saw the two girls looking at her sensibly, and it was not easy to say anything to make the two daughters sad.
In the palace, the emperor had just talked to a few close ministers about rewards, and was chatting with King Rui at the moment.
King Rui doesn't enter the palace much on weekdays, but today he came to accompany the queen mother to gossip, and he was invited to the imperial study by the emperor who was in a good mood.
"Congratulations to the imperial brother, the younger brother just heard that the border pass was successful, this is a great joy." King Rui bowed his hand, saluted the emperor, then sat opposite the emperor in his robe, and naturally picked up the chess pieces and played chess with the emperor.
"This is Tongxi, the border pass is successful, my Great Zhou country is stable, the foundation of my ancestors has been preserved, as a royal family, shouldn't it be Tongxi?" The emperor was in a good mood and spoke more, especially in front of King Rui, who always spoke more than usual.
"It's indeed a joy, haha." King Rui laughed, put down a chess piece, and said to the emperor: "Brother Huang invited me here, maybe it's just to talk about this?" I have to talk about it in the first place, don't bother me with those things in the court, or I won't enter the palace in the future. ”
"After so many years, haven't you had enough? Didn't you think about helping the royal brother? The Emperor asked with a sad expression.
"Brother Huang should know very well that my brain is not enough at all, and I don't put my mind on it, coaxing my grandson and granddaughter at home every day, this is the life I want." King Rui said with a satisfied face.
The emperor said jealously: "You are poking my heart, I know that I want to hug my grandson, but those who are not angry are really angry." ”
"Brother Huang, don't be angry, see who is not pleasing to the eye and talk to the minister, and the brother will help you teach them a lesson!" King Rui immediately put on an angry face.
"Come less, if I want to say it, I will see that the second child is not pleasing to the eye, can you be willing to beat him?" The emperor did not believe in the word.
"Well." King Rui thought for a while, shook his head honestly and said: "The younger brother can do it, but after beating the second child, the old and young in the family are not allowed to come to me to make trouble?" Brother Huang didn't know that the two little ghosts in the family were very sticky every time they saw the second child, and even the little cub in my family had to stay behind. ”
"I didn't think that the second child would have children, if his backyard was peaceful, he would have a few heirs now." The emperor sighed and said: "The second child has always been the candidate for the crown prince in my heart, you know this, but he has no heirs, I want to ordain him, and the courtiers are not easy to say." ”
"This is the imperial brother's housework, who dares to stop it, the younger brother will teach them a lesson for the imperial brother." King Rui clenched his fists and said.
"You just pull it down, can you still fight one by one?" The emperor sneered, and when he saw that King Rui really meant this, he hurriedly said: "That's what I said, but the second child should indeed have an heir, what kind of woman do you think I should find for him to be able to take on this great responsibility?" ”
"There's nothing wrong with the second child, as long as he sees it, it's all natural." King Rui replied, and when he saw that the emperor was thoughtful, he sighed in his heart, and hurriedly added: "But if you want to be a candidate for the crown princess, you must feel that all the officials can do it, otherwise it will become an obstacle for the second child in the future." This is the rule since the founding of the Great Zhou Kingdom, but you can't let the second child break the rules. ”
