"I didn't want to talk to the prince about the master." The water chestnut propped up on Song Zhi's painting case with both hands, and was watching her paint, when such a sentence suddenly came out of nowhere.

Song Zhi couldn't get back to his taste for a while, his figure was slightly sluggish, and a thumb-sized ink dot fell on the cat picture, "Ah! What can I do? The water chestnut said annoyedly.

Song Zhi thought about it, and hooked this ink dot into a little mouse with three strokes and two strokes.

"The master is really powerful." Water chestnut praised, "It's just that we edelweiss probably haven't even seen a mouse." ”

Song Zhi smiled, "I've seen it, once I bumped into one in the small kitchen, and it ran faster than a mouse." ”

The smile on the water chestnut's face was more obvious, but after laughing, she quietly looked at Song Zhi with a slightly cautious look.

"Say whatever you want." Song Zhi was uncomfortable when she looked at her, so he said.

"Didn't the master ask me to tell the prince about the enclosure that day. The prince asked me why I went to Xishan for no reason, I was afraid that he would think that I didn't care about Miss Gu, so I said more, but it turned out that there were many omissions, and I finished everything. The water chestnut said while pursed his mouth, looking very depressed.

Song Zhi wanted to say, 'Didn't you tell him that it was not supposed to be?' You were his man. But looking at the clear eyes of the water chestnut, Song Zhi suddenly couldn't speak.

"It's okay." Song Zhi said quite lightly, as if he didn't care.

The water chestnut looked at her straight for a while, and said with some grievances: "The master doesn't believe me." The prince will not put spies around the people he cares about. ”

Song Zhi speaks straightforwardly, but she rarely encounters such a straightforward person as water chestnut, she is not an ordinary straight person, she is all the words in her heart and mind, she doesn't have to hide it but is happy, so that Song Zhi doesn't know how to answer.

The reason why she left the water chestnut was because she believed that Shen Baiyan would not harm herself, and she also felt that it was more convenient to have someone who knew kung fu by her side to do things. But the water chestnut was always the person sent by Shen Baiyan, and Song Zhi never thought that she would put her position in front of Shen Baiyan.

"I believe it." The corners of Song Zhi's eyebrows showed a little helplessness, since the water chestnut said it, then she believed it.

The water chestnut snorted happily twice, and finally had the mood to talk about the things on the side, "The young lady of the Lin family hasn't been to the Tong'an Hall for several days, but her maid often goes." Master, is there something strange here? ”

As soon as he heard what the water chestnut said, Song Zhi remembered the whispers of Xiao Chen and Lin in the room that day, and she accompanied Tian'er to sleep in the warm pavilion that day, and the two ladies thought she was asleep, so they talked privately.

Listening to the meaning of Xiao Chen's words, he actually wanted to recruit Xie Lingtai as his son-in-law. Song Zhi didn't know Xie Lingtai's temperament very well, and only vaguely felt that he would not be very happy.

But Lin Tianqing took such trouble planning for him, maybe Xie Lingtai would 'make a personal promise' in order to repay his kindness.

If it is really as Lin Tianqing wishes, I just hope that they will not become a pair of resentful couples.

"Miss Qing is sick." Song Zhi said briefly.

"Oh." The water chestnut nodded clearly, squatted down to play with the edelweiss, Song Zhi saw that she was innocent, but also envious of her heart.

Lin Tianqing is sick again, Song Zhi still knows about this matter from Xiao Chen's mouth, although it shows that the relationship between the two has not been torn apart, but Lin Tianqing is too sensitive, and has already regarded Song Zhi as her potential enemy, and Song Zhi always refuses every time she invites.

"You say," Song Zhi put down his pen, and suddenly had some thoughts of gossiping, "The lady in Tong'an Hall is surnamed Xie, and Sister Zeng's mother is also surnamed Xie, are they related?" ”

"Where did the master go?" The voice of the water chestnut came from under the table, "It doesn't matter at all, although the surname Xie is not a big surname, it is not a rare surname." ”

Song Zhi nodded thoughtfully, "Lin Tianqing has been in and out of Tong'an Hall so many times, and the Yan family didn't notice it at all?" Yan Siqing has five daughters and no sons, doesn't want to find his biological son? ”

Water chestnut stood up and said to Song Zhi: "I deliberately went to find out the reason why the Xie family entered the Tong'an Hall back then, and the master guessed what was going on?" ”

"How can I guess out of thin air?" Although Song Zhi said this, he pondered the words of the water chestnut in his heart, "It's always because the husband and wife are not harmonious? Yan Siqing has another woman in her heart? ”

The water chestnut shook his head slowly, "No, does Miss remember what she said about the Suyang Zhizhou case before?" ”

Song Zhi nodded and said, "Why is this matter again." ”

"The case of Suzhou Zhizhou was handled by Shi Ziye and Yan Siqing together, but Shi Ziye investigated the chaotic party, while Yan Siqing investigated corruption. The two soldiers divided into two ways, but they found out about Suyang Zhizhou together. "Water chestnut in detail, "The chaotic party is to punish the nine clans, but the corruption case is to confiscate the army and exile." The prince had the intention to let go of a few swaddling babies on a horse, but this matter was noticed by Yan Siqing, he felt that the prince was benevolent, so he rushed in front of the prince and did a fire in front of the prince, in order to be foolproof and no one could escape. ”

Song Zhi listened attentively and asked, "Did the emperor say anything?" ”

Water chestnut showed an inexplicable smile, as if contemptuous and mocking, "The emperor thought that this matter was done by the prince, but he just blamed him for making too much trouble, but the others didn't say anything." ”

Song Zhi frowned, couldn't bear to think about it, thought about it, and asked, "When this incident happened, the Xie family had already lived in the Tong'an Hall, and it had nothing to do with it." ”

Lingjiao continued: "In the year when the Xie family lived in Tong'an Hall, there was also a case of exterminating the nine clans. It was a small Beijing official, and after drinking a few taels of yellow soup, he wrote a few poems, and there were big disrespectful words in the poems, and they were passed on by people with hearts. The case fell into the hands of Yan Siqing, one of the female dependents of the Jingguan was the cousin of the Xie family, and she had a five-year-old girl under her knees. The Xie family only wanted to spare the little girl's life, but Yan Siqing's heart was really cold, he flatly refused, and none of his subordinates survived. ”

Song Zhi had never seen Yan Siqing, but he had several encounters with the two daughters of his family, and he had also said a few words, but he never thought that Yan Siqing was such a hot person.

"Then Xie Shi couldn't leave, so he went to Tong'an Hall?" Song Zhi asked.

Water chestnut nodded and said, "The Xie family didn't want his son to become a ruthless person like Yan Siqing in the future, so he secretly let his mother's family take him away." Yan Siqing has also been looking for a while, but the Xie family is very well hidden, and this is a private matter of his family, so it is inconvenient to use the connections of the imperial court, so he has not been found. ”

Song Zhi frowned deeply, and said: "I always have to be a hidden danger, if the Lin family lets Xie Lingtai into the capital, Xie Lingtai will definitely be exposed to the eyes of the powerful in the capital, given time, how can Yan Siqing not find out?" I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse when the time comes. ”

"Let's take it one step at a time. We can't disturb Miss Lin's family. "Water chestnut road.

"I can't." Song Zhi should be reconciled.

Two crisp knocks sounded, and he pushed the door in month by month, holding a cup of red dates and peach gum soup in his hand, and said with a smile: "Miss has little lunch today, let's drink a bowl of sweet soup." ”

The sound of the moon made Song Zhi wake up, and he didn't think about it anymore, there was one more important thing at the moment.

Song Zhi took a sip of soup and said: "Tomorrow is the first day of the winter hunt, my mother and I are going to go, you go to Lexiangzhai to accompany Tian'er every month, and the water chestnut and meteor will go with me." ”

Zhuyue also faintly knew that this winter hunt was unusual, so she whispered: "Miss, can't you not go?" ”

Song Zhi pinched the spoon and stirred it in the bowl, and the spoon made a dull rubbing sound at the bottom of the bowl, "Brother is the first warrior to enter the paddock, if no one in our family watches the ceremony, it must be inappropriate, my mother is very interested, and this trip must be made." If I don't accompany her, I can't rest assured. ”

The water chestnut pressed on the shoulder of the moon, and said categorically: "Don't worry, with me, I guarantee that a hair of Miss is indispensable." ”

Moon stretched out his finger to poke her fleshy cheek, and then some smile was revealed.

The second day arrived in the blink of an eye, and on the way to the paddock, Lin kept looking at Song Zhi, and Song Zhi was a little embarrassed, "Mother, what are you doing?" ”

"I've never seen you wear a riding costume, but you're heroic and sassy."

Song Zhi was dressed in a well-tailored red riding uniform, his hair stood up high, and he was firmly tied up with a red jade crown and hairpin.

Her cuff was equipped with a clasp that could fire sleeve arrows, and Lin thought it was a decorative object, but he didn't know that there were ten quenched and poisonous thin arrows inside, and they were ready to fire.

"I knew that my father would teach me martial arts, but now it's just a showmanship." Song Zhi glanced down at the sleeve arrow in his hand, and his heart was slightly settled.

"What nonsense." Lin Shi was dissatisfied: "If you practice martial arts, your hands and feet will become thick and big, and you will die ugly." ”

Song Zhi remembered that the wrists and fingers of the water chestnut were indeed thicker than ordinary girls, but they also showed a kind of bodybuilding, which was not ugly. She and the Lin family have always been not speculative, so she smiled and said no more.

Because the emperor and dignitaries will travel on this day, the streets are heavily guarded, and they are solemn.

Song Zhi began to think of some miscellaneous things in his mind again, "The emperor of the previous dynasty must hug before and after when he travels, and the mountain calls long live, Emperor Shun'an is suspicious, and he doesn't like many people the most, and traveling is like a funeral." Phew! Song Zhi shook his head violently, "What kind of bad luck do you want!?" I still have to cry when I go out of the funeral! ’

Lin's gaze fell on Song Zhi's quiet and beautiful face, I am afraid that she would not be able to think of something strange in Song Zhi's mind.

The carriage traveled for more than an hour, and then it reached Xishan, and as soon as Song Zhi wanted to get off the carriage, he heard the eunuch outside shouting, "The Eighth Imperial Concubine has arrived." ”

Song Zhi hesitated slightly, but the Lin clan had already taken a step forward, so Song Zhi had no choice but to follow.

Meteor and water chestnut supported her, and not far away, a scorching gaze came through the crowd, and Song Zhi glanced at it casually, it turned out to be Jiang Rou.
