Chapter 15, pity the heart

After sending everyone out, at noon, Qin Song was left alone to eat in the courtyard, usually at this time, several maids had already gathered around and shook their heads to tell her about the new things in Beijing and Zhou, Qin Song sighed, and couldn't help but sigh that the Zhaowang Mansion was deserted.

I wanted to sleep for a while as an afternoon nap, but I couldn't close my eyes at all after lying down for too long in the morning, and I wanted to continue to read the account books, but there was no one to help, and no matter how fast she looked at the accounts, it was still very uncomfortable.

After thinking about it again and again, Zhou Tianyi did not confine her in the small courtyard, but told her that she could walk around the house at will, so it was naturally better to be respectful than to obey her fate, and today I will carefully visit the Feng Shui treasure of Zhaowang's Mansion.

The oval courtyard where Qin Song lives is located in the center of the backyard in the front position, with the atrium garden in front of it, and then other small courtyards across a small bamboo forest in the back, which is righteous and quiet, with excellent lighting, and can be said to be the best location in the backyard of the palace.

She used to think that even if Zhou Tianyi didn't have a side concubine, she should have a few concubines, but after turning around in the back of the backyard, she found that every small courtyard was empty, and even the Qingdai plaque on the courtyard door was blank and had not yet been named.

Turning back to the oval courtyard boringly, Qin Song deliberately glanced left and right at the plaques on the courtyards on both sides, her side was empty, and there were words on the plaques in Zhou Tianyi's courtyard, take a closer look,

"And?" Zhuhua antiquity

The word "and" stood alone above the courtyard gate, and there were too many meanings of this word, and with her current understanding of him, she couldn't understand it at all

And "what" means. After wandering around the backyard, Qin Song took another step towards the front yard. Compared with the empty and lonely backyard, the garden in the atrium seems to be much more vibrant, and the alternation of spring and summer is the season of purple and red, the garden is full of green grass, a hundred flowers are blooming, and the eyes are full of beauty.

"County Lord, County Lord, you go slowly! It's almost to the backyard over there! ”

"His Royal Highness King Zhao has allowed me to walk around, what are you stopping me from doing?" A high and low female voice came from not far away, Qin Song subconsciously turned his head to look, only to see a young and beautiful woman striding around the garden, and the maid behind her worriedly wanted to hold the master but didn't dare to move, so she could only follow her around.

The voice was getting closer and closer, although Qin Song was curious about the identities of the two, but after thinking about it, it was not appropriate to meet high-ranking people head-on and cause trouble, so he immediately turned his back and prepared to leave, but it was too late......

"Hey, that, what about you, you, you don't bow when you see the lord of this county?" Qin Song's series of actions seemed to be watched by this county lord, and the first sentence of this opening was so harsh, I think he was a lord who was not easy to provoke.

The word "cheap maid" stuck Qin Song's footsteps as she wanted to leave, and her anger rose to her heart, and she slowly turned around.

The woman in front of her has very good eyes, and there is no county lord in the Quartet, and then contact the vassal kingdom to come to the court in the past few days, looking at the dress of this county lord, it should be the daughter of the prince of Beichuan.

The vassal princes, on the other hand, were at most equivalent to the governors of the Sifang Prefecture City, and most importantly, they were not binding on the Qin clan and did not pose a threat.

Thinking about it, she raised her eyebrows and smiled insincerely, and at the same time made a first sight that could not be picked at all,

"I've seen the county lord."

"Bold, why don't you kneel when you see our Lianjin County Lord of Beichuan?" Qin Song's first meeting ceremony belonged to a parallel ceremony that did not distinguish between dignity and inferiority, which would definitely cause the other party's dissatisfaction, she glanced sideways at the imposing maid, and asked back: "The county lord is a guest of His Royal Highness, and Qin Song is too, why do you want to kneel down as a guest?" ”

"You!" The maid was brought into the words by Qin Song's sophistry, and she couldn't say anything to refute for a while. The ripple brocade on the side looked Qin Song up and down, the hosta in the hair was finely carved, and the blue and white dresses were made of high-quality silk, but they couldn't be identified if they didn't look carefully.

Dresses without bright colors are not suitable for young women, but the indifference and alienation in the eyes of the people in front of them happen to melt into the silk wisps of blue and white clothes, so although the plain dress looks old, it complements her own temperament.

This name is a little familiar, but Lianjin can't remember where she has heard it, and Qin Song's outfit is definitely not the maid they thought she was, and she is not even like the so-called guest in her own mouth.

When they walked into this atrium garden, there was no one with them, and there was no one else in the garden, so Qin Song could only appear here from the backyard, and the backyard ...... In addition to the master, only the female dependents lived, Zhao Wang Zhou Tianyi did not marry the main concubine, and he did not hear that there was a side concubine, thinking of this, Lianjin hooked his lips and smiled, as if ignoring what Qin Song said before,

"I don't look at what my identity is, I'm just a concubine, don't you know the etiquette when you see the lord of this county?" Qin Song frowned, where did this Lianjin County Lord's self-confidence come from?

She sighed and emphasized again: "County Lord, Qin Song is not the concubine of King Zhao, but the same as the county lord, he is a guest of His Royal Highness, please raise your noble hand, don't be embarrassed." ”

"Yuan, it turns out that you are the Miss of the Qin family?" The maid beside Lian Jin suddenly realized, stared at Qin Song with wide eyes, and then immediately approached Lian Jin's ear and whispered.

From the moment Lian Jin saw Qin Song in the garden, he smelled the non-guest smell on her

The "domineering" atmosphere, using rudeness to make things difficult for her, is just a reflexive behavior, and now after listening to the introduction of Qin Song by the personal maid Nuan Nuan, her face is even more gloomy, and even her eyes show jealousy from time to time.

Isn't this Qin Song the woman that King Zhao painstakingly asked to marry at the banquet in the Flowing Water Palace? Qin Song didn't know what the sudden jealousy and hatred of the county lord of Lianjin was, none of her cronies were around, she just wanted to stay away from this place as soon as possible, so she made a parallel salute again, and said: "If the county lord has nothing else to do, Qin Song will go elsewhere to relax and lose his company." Slowly taking a few steps back to pull away, she turned around and raised her foot in the direction of the backyard.

Qin Song can enter and exit freely in the backyard where King Zhao does not allow other women to enter, which arouses the unwillingness in Lian Jin's heart, since she first saw Zhou Tianyi when she was a child, she likes him, so every time her father wants to visit the Quartet, she will go with her.

She is always the best in front of Zhou Tianyi, smart, beautiful, and dignified, but she has never been favored by him.

"Stop!" Seeing that he couldn't drink Qin Song, Lian Jin was in a hurry, and quickly stepped forward to hold her,

"I told you to stop!" Her hand reached into the air, but she grabbed it, and she looked up in surprise, stunned.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Tianyi had already pulled Qin Song to his side, and the arm that was holding her shoulder had not yet been lowered, and asked in a voice that could be heard by both of them who had a dispute.

The force that Zhou Tianyi exerted on her arm was obviously some kind of hint, and Qin Song knew it in his heart and cooperated obediently.

She shook her head and explained softly before Lian Jin spoke: "It's okay, I met the county lord on a walk, chatted a few words, and suddenly felt unwell, so I said goodbye to the county lord and wanted to go back to the courtyard to rest for a while." ”

"It's okay if there's nothing to do, the prince of Zhenhai and the lord of Lianjin County are coming from afar, don't neglect the guests." Zhou Tianyi seemed to be reminding the person in his arms, but he conveyed the message of Qin Songfei to the other two.

"The little girl is rude, His Royal Highness King Wangzhao and Miss Qin Haihan." When King Zhenhai and Zhou Tianyi hurried to the atrium, they also heard a few words of dispute between the two, and knew that their daughter was in trouble again, and Miss Qin's family did not smear the complaint, but only downplayed the dispute in the past, which gave him an extremely good impression of her.

"Where the prince said, the county lord is reasonable, and I think it's a little misunderstanding, so it's not in the way." Zhou Tianyi replied, Qin Song also agreed, and the two looked like a harmonious couple.

Noticing the increasingly gloomy expression of the county lord of Lianjin, the unwillingness and dissatisfaction in her eyes seemed to be able to swallow life alive, Qin Song understood what this county lord's hatred was for her, how much did this girl like Zhou Tianyi?

What she said earlier was right, Zhou Tianyi is one

"Woe to the waters". In this way, I don't understand even more, King Zhao, who has such vigorous peach blossoms, is not good at asking which girl to marry to be Princess Zhao, why did he treat her favorably?

"It's not early, this king is inconvenient to disturb today, so I will leave." The matter has been discussed, grabbing the ripple brocade with a shrugging face, King Zhenhai saluted and said goodbye.

Qin Song could see that Lian Jin was reluctant to give up on Zhou Tianyi, before she did it, she must have stayed out of the matter and let it develop, but today is different, with Lian Jin's bad words, she not only has to perform this scene well, but also let her leave angrily.

Therefore, when Lian Jin's gaze was still on Zhou Tianyi, Qin Song deliberately leaned on Zhou Tianyi's shoulder and squinted at her and smiled brightly.

After King Zhenhai and Lianjin were gone, Qin Song gently pushed Zhou Tianyi away, and asked with seven points to determine three points: "Zhou Tianyi, did you deliberately put that Lianjin into the atrium?" The softness in his arms was instantly gone, which made him a little reluctant and regretful, Zhou Tianyi didn't expect Qin Song to realize so quickly, it was a good thing for him to spend less Zhou Zhang, but this girl was too smart, and he couldn't do it if he wanted to hide something inconsequential.

After nodding honestly, Zhou Tianyi explained a few more words,

"I was still thinking about how to let the wind out, but I didn't expect the father and daughter to send it to the door by themselves." Qin Song looked deeply at the man in front of him, he ...... is not only a gentle and generous, bright and upright general, who can fight well, born in the emperor's family, and all kinds of scheming methods that cannot be put on the table, he will also use them, otherwise, before that, he would have to disappear in the turbulent imperial city.

"It's really a pity for the sincerity of the Lord of Lianjin!" Qin Song smiled and approached the people around him and said, the longer she knows him, the more she understands his temperament and preferences, she naturally exposes her bad side to him, and Zhou Tianyi doesn't seem to care, the more she wants to gain the upper hand in the small fight with him and suppress him.

Although Lian Jin's eyes looked at Zhou Tianyi with the shyness of a girl who had not yet left the pavilion, she was more excited and obsessed, just as she had just thought, how much she had to like someone to be able to stare at it so intently, for fear of missing a penny.

However, Zhou Tianyi, a person, seems to be emotionally only taking a scoop and being spotless, Rao Yes

The forces of the "He Clan" have never heard of him showing favor to any woman, except for ...... Qin Song suddenly found that he was the only woman who was favored by him in every way.

Zhou Tianyi was not annoyed, and sighed to himself through Qin Song's words: "I haven't seen your sincerity that has pitied me!" The voice was extremely low, as if he was muttering, but it could be heard clearly by Qin Song.

"I'm ......" She raised her head and bumped into his probing gaze, so serious and expectant, Qin Song's heart trembled slightly, and she couldn't answer,

"I ......"

"Okay, don't overthink it." He still couldn't bear to embarrass her, and he stopped the conversation, the exclamation was true and a joke, but it was never said to force her to show something.

Besides, he also has experience, and when he encounters questions that can't be answered, Qin Song will first bow his head and be silent, and then run away, if he is slipped away by her, then won't he lose more than he gains?

"......" Qin Song didn't squeak, her heart was in chaos now, her orderliness in the liquidation accounts was completely unthinkable, and Zhou Tianyi was completely thoughtful about her, she had questions, some were unwilling, and some were moved.

"Well, why did you quarrel? And also...... What about your maids? If Guang Han hadn't come to tell him about the situation in the atrium garden, no one around Qin Song might have been bullied by that arrogant county lord.

"I should not go out more if I stay in the palace as bait, so they naturally have to run errands for me." Qin Song didn't think that she had a lot of opportunities, but after all, she also had all the Qin family's industries in Jingzhou in her hands, and she had to grow her momentum to lure the snake out of the hole, so she was also a busy person.

As for the reason for the dispute...... she didn't quite understand how the dispute started

"" clearly emerged from his mind, Qin Song glanced at Zhou Tianyi, who was waiting for her to follow, and first asked a question that sounded unrelated,

"Your Highness thinks...... Is Qin Song dressed like a maid in the palace? "The Zhizhao Palace's Mansion is about to be a whole day, and she hasn't seen any other female attendants except for Mrs. Rong.

"The maids of the palace serve only in the front yard." This is still the rule set by Zhou Tianyi in his early years, and the reason is that he almost fell into the calculation of the maid before going to bed one day, and after that time, this became the first rule that the maid of the palace should remember.

"You haven't been to the front yard since last night, so it's normal that you haven't seen it, and ...... If the maids in my house are all dressed like you, I am afraid that there will not be enough gold and silver. "Qin Song is never a person who treats himself badly, the materials of his dresses are never ambiguous, and there are not many jewelry on his body, but most of them are priceless treasures, no matter who he is, he will not dress up these for the maid.

"Your Highness, Qin Song thinks that there are high and low backgrounds, and there are no noble and lowly people." Thinking about it, the reason why he faced him head-on this time was probably because the county lord easily regarded people with low status

"Cheap" people, right? Qin Song herself does not have the noble background of princes and nobles, and the experience and circumstances that arise from her childhood and even now make her particularly sensitive to identity issues, she has never expected equality, but no matter whether she is noble or low, at least she should give both parties considerable respect.

"It turned out to be ...... for this" Zhou Tianyi did not make a clear statement, but the smile on his face deepened a little, and a gust of spring breeze blew, warm and soft.

Qin Song suddenly remembered the person in front of him, who had bowed his head to every woman who performed on stage at the palace banquet, and he was not impatient.

She also quieted down and smiled, letting the breeze gently stir their clothes. The voice suddenly thought and asked

"Your Highness, did Qin Song annoy her......" Zhou Tianyi also replied indifferently

"Affordable" flew away with the breeze and turned into nothing.

"The envoys of the vassal kingdom will leave Jingzhou in a few days, and the king of Zhenhai will visit most of the magnates of Jingzhou within three days. Qin Song, as soon as the wind comes out, you can't turn back, have you thought about it? Zhou Tianyi's voice was not high, and it seemed even more undulating in the wind.

"Hey, my highness, it's not your reputation that is ruined, what are you worried about?"

"I'm worried that you'll blame me in the future." Qin Song was stunned for a moment, and lost the best time to reply. The matter has come to this point, what is there to complain about, solve the problem, and take the road in the future is real.

Zhou Tianyi smiled silently, turned around and said, "The next thing is different, you have to protect yourself." If you don't feel well, go back and rest early, and I'll have someone send you to your hospital for dinner. Qin Song wanted to cry without tears, his physical discomfort was just a temporary excuse, how could he believe it in such a trivial matter?

She glanced at the front yard of King Zhao's Mansion behind Zhou Tianyi, and finally nodded,

"Qin Song retired."
