Chapter 156: Sweet as Honey
To tell the truth, the royal relatives are kind to Song Zhi.
Emperor Shun'an became more and more widowed, and on the sixth day after the wedding, he gave a holy decree, allowing Shen Baiyan to attack the title of King of Dingbei, and Song Zhi was the princess.
Empress Dowager Zhou was already an empty shelf, staying in the harem to retire, and for the sake of the relationship between Zhou Du and Jiang Changwan, how could she be unkind to Song Zhi.
Since the tenth princess got married out of the palace, her relationship with Song Zhi has become more and more intimate, and she always has a sister Song in front of the empress dowager.
The Empress Dowager said that she was a big ghost and had no rules, so she asked her to change her name to the princess or Mrs. Dingbei Wang, but she was always embarrassed.
However, Concubine Jia, who was always affectionate to Song Zhi, has become more difficult to speak recently.
"Have you gone to Cui's house to see the old lady?" Taking the opportunity of Song Zhi to enter the palace, Concubine Jia was rarely allowed to enter the palace of the Empress Dowager.
"I have already handed over the post, and I will go to Cui's house in three days." Song Zhi said very respectfully.
Concubine Jia's mother is above Song Zhi in terms of identity and seniority, and it is natural to be submissive to her.
Concubine Jia looked at Song Zhi, her eyes were very complicated, as if she wanted to say something, but she was afraid of something.
Song Zhi only pretended that he didn't see it, and the ten princesses were talking from south to north.
The Empress Dowager listened to the two bright little girls singing and harmonizing below, and she should listen to the lyrics.
Concubine Jia felt bored, so she excused Emperor Shun'an to wake up from a nap, and she was going to serve, and then left.
The Empress Dowager simply asked her to prepare food for these two little girls in the warm pavilion, so that they could get together and talk well.
"Last time, when you entered the palace to see you, I bowed and bowed, and I was very tired when I saw it, and I didn't dare to tell you if I saved my stomach." The tenth princess sent the maids out of the door, and began to lie on the coffee table unruly, lazily like a cat.
"What's wrong?" Song Zhi saw the look of the tenth princess, as if there was something annoying.
"It's not that Lin Tianqing, do you know that her husband who has been in trouble is actually Yan Siqing's son who has been missing for many years. My God, you don't know how annoying your husband has been pestered by Yan Siqing these days. The tenth princess frowned and took a bite of the kumquat cake indignantly.
"Is that so?" Song Zhi pretended to be surprised.
"That's right! Every once in a while, I went to the Hanlin Academy to pester my husband on official business. There is no official demeanor at all, which is disgusting. As soon as the tenth princess thought of Lin Tianlang's sighing appearance, she was angry.
"Does my uncle and aunt know about this?" Song Zhi saw the attitude of the tenth princess, as if there was nothing to be done about this matter.
"Got it. But they think that this matter is not big, it is not small, and if it is put on the table, they feel that it is a big fuss. In addition, the relationship with Yan Siqing is average, and he doesn't want to put his beak too much. Therefore, it mainly depends on Xie Lingtai's meaning. It's just that that person's temperament is very indecisive, and he can only play Tai Chi when he speaks, so Yan Siqing still has to annoy her husband. The tenth princess called Lin Tianqing and Xie Lingtai by their names, and the relationship did not seem to be very harmonious.
Song Zhi glanced at the tenth princess, and when the words came to his lips, he couldn't ask.
"What's wrong? What do you want to ask? The tenth princess is a personal essence, so she naturally saw Song Zhi's hesitation.
"Princess, don't you like Cousin Qing'er?" Song Zhi carefully pulled out a pine nut.
The tenth princess admonished beside her, "Be careful with your nails, and ask someone to take them out and peel them off before eating?" ”
Song Zhi shook his head and said, "It's just peeling and playing, I don't want to eat it." ”
The tenth princess played with the pine nut shell with her nails and said casually: "She is not easy to get along with." Although I had to be respectful to me because I was a princess, I didn't actually have any sincere affection for me. I haven't been with her for a long time, but seeing her is just a superficial affection for the Lin Mansion. ”
Song Zhi was surprised by her straightforwardness, so she said: "She is now married and has a beloved." is even more guarding his own courtyard all day long, and he doesn't like to move. You two probably haven't seen much, have you? If you can't get along with each other, don't force it. ”
"Naturally, who can force me?" The tenth princess deliberately made an arrogant look, and she couldn't hold back for a moment, and said with a smile: "Does Zhi'er have the same feelings as me?" ”
She asked so straightforwardly, Song Zhi couldn't hide it, and nodded frankly.
Unexpectedly, the better Lin Tianqing's body is, the worse his popularity becomes.
"Husband."
Xie Lingtai hesitated, paused before turning around and responding, "Madam." ”
"Why are you so late today? Where to go? Do what? Lin Tianqing stepped forward every time he asked, giving Xie Lingtai a feeling of being forced to ask.
She has a delicate face and a gentle smile, she is really a candidate for a wife who can't find fault, but Xie Lingtai always has a sense of suffocation when facing her.
"I went to a few pharmacies, and Dr. Liu had a patient with a strange illness who asked me to help diagnose the pulse, and then went to my mother's small courtyard to go around." Xie Lingtai said everything in one hundred and fifty ten, and his tone was a little helpless.
Lin Tianqing helped Xie Lingtai take off his robe with a cold face, and when he turned around, he had a perfect smile. "What do you want for dinner?" I let the kitchenette prepare. ”
"Whatever." After Xie Lingtai finished speaking, he felt that Lin Tianqing's mood was instantly much lower, and he hurriedly added, "Qing'er, you know that I am not particular about eating, you are in charge." ”
Lin Tianqing nodded and smiled reluctantly.
It's like God forgot to add a little honey to Xie Lingtai's days, and he always feels bland and tasteless, and his throat is astringent.
But some people's lives look cold on the surface, but in private they are sticky like a piece of maltose, sticking to the back molars and can't lick them off, and a trace of sweetness spreads, so sweet that the back molars are crispy and numb.
The moon and the meteor were now used to it, and as soon as Shen Baiyan returned, they would leave the room and go outside the door to wait for the dispatch after they had all the things they needed to prepare.
"Laughing at what?" Shen Baiyan walked to the soft collapse next to Song Zhi and sat down, obviously there was a coffee table and a vacant seat, he just didn't sit, he had to squeeze to Song Zhi's side.
"As soon as you came back, the two of them went out through the crack in the door like rats seeing cats."
Song Zhi saw Shen Baiyan looking at him helplessly, and said with a smile: "How is it?" Lord Shen, do you want me to help you loosen your clothes? ”
Song Zhi originally meant Shen Baiyan's robe, but saw a slightly narrow smile on his original serious face.
"I don't mean that!" Song Zhi shouted with a red face.
"Which one?" Shen Baiyan deliberately approached Song Zhi and asked.
Song Zhi never thought that Shen Baiyan, a cold wooden bump, would have such a side.
His breath was ambiguous on Song Zhi's cheeks, and Song Zhi moved back, only to find that there was a wall behind him, and there was no way back.
The guy in front of him was about to get closer and closer, Song Zhi was forced to be helpless, and reluctantly pressed his hand against Shen Baiyan's chest and said, "No, don't announce it in the daytime......
Song Zhi couldn't say the latter word no matter what, but he was ridiculed by Shen Baiyan again.
"Go to Cui's house tomorrow, will you accompany me?" Song Zhi was teased by his ears and quickly opened the topic.
"Nature." Shen Baiyan nodded, rubbing Song Zhi's sideburns restlessly, "How could I let you go alone." ”
Song Zhi poked him dissatisfiedly, but accidentally poked it between his two collarbones and in the small recess under the Adam's apple.
Song Zhi retracted his hand a little embarrassed, and Shen Baiyan chuckled, only feeling that Song Zhi was very cute.
"What have you and your brother been busy with these days, when I went back to my parents' house yesterday, my sister-in-law said that two of them hadn't seen him anymore. You are the same, you have been wearing stars and moons for the past two days, but today you came back early, and the matter is settled? Song Zhi covered his face with his hand, not letting Shen Baiyan look at it.
The bruises on her wrists had faded to only two points, and Shen Baiyan could still see it at a glance.
In fact, he had carefully restrained his strength, if it weren't for the fact that she struggled too much because of her shyness that day, Shen Baiyan believed that he would not hurt her.
Song Zhi didn't see Shen Baiyan answer for a long time, opened his fingers and glanced at him from between his fingers, and saw his eyes fall on his wrist, so he knew what this guy was thinking, and said, "Actually, it doesn't hurt much." ”
The more she said this, the more pitiful and lovely she looked.
Shen Baiyan pinched her wrist and kissed it gently, thought about her question just now, and said, "My brother-in-law took care of my newlywed Yan'er, so he shared some more things, so I couldn't go home for a few days." In fact, he has just gotten married, so he should have stayed at home to spend more time with his younger siblings. ”
"You've been getting more and more oily lately." Song Zhi nodded Shen Baiyan's lips and said, "Say, is this someone's true face." ”
This was originally a joke, but he didn't expect Shen Baiyan to be stunned, think seriously for a while, and suddenly chuckle out loud, "Maybe?" I don't remember it myself. Uncle Cui said that when I was a child, my personality was very similar to my father, and it only changed when I grew up. My father was a mischievous man in private, and he really looked a little bit like that. ”
Song Zhi didn't expect that his words would hook Shen Baiyan's sadness, and he couldn't help but feel secretly annoyed.
Shen Baiyan saw that the little girl suddenly disappeared, and looked at herself with a worried face, so he knew what she was thinking.
"Go to Cui's house tomorrow, will everyone be there?" Song Zhi asked about this again.
Shen Baiyan looked at her and blinked slowly, "What's wrong?" You were in the palace that day, but did Concubine Jia embarrass you? ”
"I'm in the Empress Dowager's palace, how dare she embarrass me?" Song Zhi hurriedly clarified, "It's just that she has an ambiguous attitude, and she has a relationship with me because of the matter of the Seventeenth Prince, so I wonder if the Cui Mansion will be the same......
"They don't dare, the seventeenth prince has not yet grown up, the Cui family's position in the court is embarrassing, and there are relatives at the same level, so they have to rely on me more or less." Shen Baiyan said firmly, making Song Zhi feel a little relieved.
