Chapter 162: Princess Shuqing
Song Zhi pursed his lips, and just as he wanted to say something, he saw Chu Yinglan's pupils enlarge slightly. She turned her head a little puzzled, and saw that Shen Baiyan was coming out of the inner room, he was wearing a dark color today, and there were many carps embroidered with silver silk on the corners of his robe, as if he was wearing the night and starlight on his body together.
"The prince is in the house today?" Chu Yinglan changed her indifference, and hurriedly got up to salute.
"What? Are you clear about the whereabouts of the prince? Song Zhi frowned unabashedly, and his eyebrows were twisted into a beautiful knot.
Suddenly caught in the suspicion of spying on the palace, Chu Yinglan hurriedly explained: "I don't know, I just said it casually." ”
"Go on." Shen Baiyan walked to Song Zhi and sat down, and said coldly to Ah Qiao: "Don't hide it, and don't avoid it, this king doesn't want to waste time." ”
Originally, the water chestnut went to Chu Yinglan's mansion for a secret visit, and it shouldn't be Chu Yinglan who was at the expense, but the official level crushed people to death, Chu Yinglan was able to protect herself in the matter of the Eight Princes, and it was a bit ugly to say, but everyone sold the King of Runan to save face, and what benefits could Chu Yinglan get in front of Shen Baiyan alone?
Ah Qiao glanced at Chu Yinglan tremblingly, Chu Yinglan returned to her original position and sat down, straightened her neck, and had a sense of composure, and said: "Song Jian has looked for his sister and then found me, and the water chestnut girl has come to look for me." The night was hazy, and she was injured by the secret weapon set up in my courtyard, so I left her behind. The water chestnut girl was very defensive, and escaped while we were not paying attention. ”
Shen Baiyan lowered his eyes and looked at Song Zhi's finely trimmed fingertips, and didn't pay attention to her, as if he was ready to let Chu Yinglan speak on her own.
Chu Yinglan has always been a person who is not afraid of heaven and earth, but Shen Baiyan is really a little incomprehensible.
He was by Song Zhi's side at this time and looked like a gentle husband.
But when he left Song Zhi, did Song Zhi know about the things he did outside? If she didn't know, Chu Yinglan really wanted to know, would she feel frightened after knowing the other side of Shen Baiyan?
Chu Yinglan gathered back her scattered thoughts and continued: "Song Jian came to look for me because he wanted to hide some people in my mansion. The person who hid him in my house, he felt that I would be restrained, and in order to avoid suspicion, he would definitely not betray him. But being threatened is the last thing I want in my life, and before I could inform the prince, the water chestnut girl and Young Master Song came one after another. ”
"Did we disrupt your plans?" Although what Shen Baiyan said was not pleasant, the lines of his shoulders looked relaxed, and his tone was very light.
Chu Yinglan said quickly: "Lord Wang, you have already solved this matter?" ”
Shen Baiyan finally glanced at her, and in the short moment he stared, time became extraordinarily long, and Chu Yinglan felt like an hour had passed.
"Well, now this thing......
Chu Yinglan avoided Shen Baiyan's gaze, thinking that if she wanted to say something, she could end this conversation quickly and leave quickly. originally thought that Shen Baiyan was still busy outside, she only needed to explain this matter to Song Zhi, and then Song Zhi would convey it.
But he didn't expect Shen Baiyan to be so fast, and he was already done.
"The water chestnut is still hurting." Song Zhi had already glanced at the water chestnut when she got up in the morning, because she was afraid that she would move around and involve the wound, so Dr. Wu simply added calming herbs to her medicinal soup. So the water chestnut slept very soundly, and the meteor accidentally broke a bowl, and she didn't wake up.
Chu Yinglan was speechless for a while, as if she was driving a carriage out and driving on the official road in a proper manner, but a person with short eyes got under her wheels, and as a result, she injured her leg, but she still had to blackmail herself.
"Yes." Chu Yinglan nodded, she probably wanted to show a trace of guilt, but unfortunately she didn't think so in her heart, and her acting skills were not good, so the expression on her face was a little inexplicably distorted.
"This, this water chestnut girl's injury, I can't suffer for her. I can only send some things and talk about my heart, which can be regarded as adding money to the water chestnut girl's future marriage, right? As soon as Chu Yinglan's words fell, Ah Qiao would present a wooden box that was big or small.
This wooden box is very delicate, Song Zhi looked at it, his eyes fell on the cyan jade ring in the center of the wooden box, and pressed it gently, and sure enough, it was the mechanism that opened the wooden box.
The wooden box was unfolded layer by layer, and each layer was divided into several small compartments, each of which was full of various colored treasures.
Song Zhi glanced at it and saw that there were dozens of round and full pearls inside, which could be called top-grade. There is also a pair of rings, carved with cross-necked mandarin ducks. There are also five or six gold bracelets stacked together, a small red coral paperweight, and a dozen or so agate bead chains, piled up into a small mountain of wrenches.
"This?" Song Zhi picked up a dragon-shaped jade pendant, the size of a palm, which is made of a whole piece of white jade, the jade color is blue, the dragon head is up, the body is arched, there is a small hole in the middle of the arch, and a cyan Yingluo is hung.
"Shen Ang still has something left?" Shen Baiyan saw at a glance the original belonging of this jade pendant.
"That's it, it fell under the bed, it just turned it out a few days ago, and it was very hot in my hand, so I beg the prince to take it away." Chu Yinglan pretended to be relaxed and said, fortunately, Shen Baiyan did not make a big fuss, and took this jade pendant too seriously.
Chu Yinglan finally got out of the palace, and Ah Qiao let out a long sigh before her, but blocked Chu Yinglan's mouth.
"Look at the prince today, it doesn't seem so scary." Ah Qiao helped Chu Yinglan and whispered, she remembered the scene when Shen Baiyan came to the palace to search for the remnants of the sin that day and cut off other people's heads with a sword, and she couldn't help but shudder.
"Pretended." Chu Yinglan snorted lightly and said.
"Huh?" Ah Qiao quickly reacted and said, "You mean in front of the princess, right?" ”
Chu Yinglan didn't reply, but just said, "Let's go back." ”
The coachman's whip was thrown so loudly that he seemed to be impatient to get out of here.
……
After Chu Yinglan went, Song Zhi had a few days of peace, she buried Yinhua, she was an orphan girl, but she saved the effort of settling her family.
Most of the water chestnut's injuries have healed, although the wound is still painful, but she can sit up, she holds a box of treasures, and jokes: "This injury is quite worth it." ”
Meteor gave her an angry look and handed her the medicine bowl.
The water chestnut took it, stretched out his hand to the meteor, and said, "What about the preserves?" ”
Meteor glanced at her, picked up the gauze that had been replaced, got up and left, and said, "Do you have this box treasure and still get candied fruit?" ”
"Don't be jealous! It's a big deal, I'll give you thirty percent! The water chestnut shouted, accidentally touched the wound, and suddenly wailed again, and the meteor had to turn back to take care of it.
When the two were laughing, the Empress Dowager Jia'an sent the big eunuch and the big palace maid around her to come to the palace together.
Song Zhi said that he was going to bathe and burn incense, and he dried the two of them for an hour, but this time they didn't dare to leave, so they waited stiffly.
Song Zhi didn't want to be too arrogant, so he chose a solemn auspicious dress to wear.
The palace maid saluted Song Zhi respectfully, and Song Zhi knelt down with the barbarian in her arms and listened to the great eunuch read out the holy decree.
Man'er couldn't understand half a word, she only played with Song Zhi's earrings, she had dragged it for a while, and Song Zhi was in tears, and Man'er didn't dare to do it anymore.
The holy decree was handed over to Song Zhi, and the palace maid and the eunuch stood awkwardly for a while, until Song Zhi hooked the corners of his mouth and left with the barbarian, and the two tea maids did not say anything.
"Whew!" The two of them left the palace in a huff, and said that they had rewarded money, but they didn't even have a good face, and the big eunuch spat out a mouthful of phlegm viciously, "What a thing!" ”
The palace maid glanced at the thick phlegm spit at her feet with great disdain, and walked away quickly.
"What kind of stinky face are you putting on for me here?" The great eunuch shouted after her in a suppressed voice, but she ignored it, but quickly got into the carriage and closed the door.
'Why does the Queen Mother value such a person?' The palace maid always felt that the thick phlegm rubbed against the hem of her skirt, and hung her head angrily to examine it carefully.
The two of them would be so angry, Song Zhi had already expected it.
"Man'er, you're a princess." Song Zhi took the holy decree to tease the barbarian, and said word by word: "Shu, Qing, Gong, Lord." ”
The barbarian looked puzzled, but felt that this hard poke thing was very unsightly and not fun, so he waved his little hand to push the holy decree away.
Cha Yun was taken aback and hurriedly said, "Madam, I'll put the holy decree up first." ”
Song Zhi nodded without necessity, and casually took the holy decree and handed it to Cha Yun.
Sending Chayun out month by month, closing the door, and saying with some concern: "Madam, why did you give Miss the title of princess, aren't you speculating that it is a county lord or a county lord?" After sealing the princess, our palace will be even more popular. ”
"Really?" Song Zhi hugged Man'er and let her bounce on his lap, and said: "Shu Qing, it doesn't sound like the name of a real princess, I didn't know that the Queen Mother was so petty." I'm not greedy, it's just that everything has been done here, why shouldn't she be more generous and give a real princess the title? ”
"Xu is difficult to swallow this breath, not only to guard against the prince, but also to use the prince, and to ask the prince to bow down, she is inevitably too greedy." Month by month.
Song Zhi glanced at her with a smile and said, "You have indeed grown a lot over the years, and you dare to play the queen mother." ”
"Madam, slave, slave, didn't you say it with your thoughts! Don't scare me. If it weren't for the fact that there was no one around, she would not dare to say such a thing if she took bear bile and leopard bile every day to replenish her body month by month.
Song Zhi comforted: "Okay, isn't this a joke? Don't be busy these days, and don't go out, lest you have any trouble. ”
The wedding date of Month by Month and Su Zheng was ten days later, although Month by Month and day he returned to the palace as usual, Song Zhi was still a little reluctant.
Moon by month and meteor have slept together in the past few days, but I am afraid that there will be no chance to talk together in the future.
