The early spring has just arrived, and the dry grass and trees of last year have not yet pulled out new greenery, and the weather is still cold and shivering. However, the city of Jin'an is full of joy, today is the annual spring banquet of Amaterasu Province, in order to pray for the new year's wind and rain and peace of the country.

"Miss, when you go to the palace banquet like this today, Your Royal Highness will definitely not be able to take your eyes off it." In a courtyard in the Prime Minister's Mansion, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl said with a playful face.

"Nuanqin, what nonsense are you talking about? His Highness has not returned yet, how can he see it. The woman who was called Miss bowed her head slightly and whispered in disgust.

Song Qingzhi is indeed beautiful, with bright eyes and bright teeth, looking forward to life, that is, she has the dignity of everyone's ladies and the charm of thousands of manners. As soon as he heard the smile in the eyes of the Second Highness, his fair face couldn't help but flush a little.

"Didn't His Royal Highness attend the Spring Banquet?" Nuanqin was a little puzzled, the spring banquet was the most important banquet in Amaterasu Province, and all the royal heirs had to attend.

Listening to Nuan Qin's words, Song Qingzhi frowned slightly, two months ago, she received a letter from His Royal Highness that she was going to leave Jin'an for a period of time, but Song Qingzhi didn't take it to heart at first. The next day, news came out from the court, saying that His Royal Highness had been unwell recently, and it was not suitable to go out, and he needed to recuperate in the mansion for a few days. The two different statements made Song Qingzhi's heart hang, and the things that the court deliberately covered up must be very dangerous, but since Song Qingzhi received the letter, she has cut off contact with Her Royal Highness, and there is still no news.

"It's been so long••••••" Thinking of this, a deep worry appeared in Song Qingzhi's eyes.

"Miss, don't worry about the Second Highness, it'll be fine, maybe you'll see you in a while." Nuan Qin looked at her young lady's worried look and hurriedly comforted her.

"When you enter the palace and meet people, don't say that Your Highness is not in Pu'an, do you know?" Song Qingzhi instructed Nuan Qin.

"The slave knows it, and she won't tell anyone." Nuan Qin nodded.

"Okay, let's go, don't let Daddy and Mom wait for us." Song Qingzhi nodded, and the two went out together.

The carriage had stopped at the door, and the family got into the carriage and began to set off towards the palace. Along the way, Song Qingzhi was thinking about the Second Highness just now, it was okay not to mention it, but when Song Qingzhi's worries were mentioned, she couldn't stop.

The carriage stopped at the palace gate, and the ministers who came to attend the palace banquet were arranged to enter the palace by the palace people waiting at the gate. Not far from Song Qingzhi's car, a figure came over: "Miss Song, my mother is invited." "The person who came was Qiongzhi, the maid next to Concubine Jing.

"I'm tired of Sister Qiongzhi waiting for me a while, let me talk to my father." Although Song Qingzhi is the daughter of the prime minister, she is very friendly, and she has never had the frame of the eldest lady of the official family.

"Daddy, Concubine Jing summoned me, and my daughter will go to you and her mother later." Song Qingzhi slowly walked to the prime minister's side and spoke softly.

"Okay, let's go." The prime minister looked at Qiong Zhi behind Song Qingzhi and nodded in agreement.

Qiong Zhi took Song Qingzhi all the way to Jingchun Palace, and Song Qingzhi was also a lot of people in the palace in the past, but she only felt that although the palace was magnificent, it was missing some human touch after all, and there was a cold light everywhere. Today's spring banquet, the huge palace was decorated with joy, and Song Qingzhi suddenly felt that the palace also had some vitality, and it finally seemed like a place for people to live.

"Niangniang, Miss Song is here." Qiong Zhi directly took Song Qingzhi to where Concubine Jing was, and did not let her wait at the door for people to report in advance, which is a treatment that only Song Qingzhi has.

Concubine Jing likes Song Qingzhi, and from time to time she lets her into the palace to talk, and after a long time, everyone in Jingchun Palace knows that Niangniang likes this young lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Qingzhi greets Niangniang." Song Qingzhi greeted with a smile on her face.

"Come over and show this palace, this palace hasn't seen you for a while, this little girl is just different and changing fast, this time she is more beautiful than the last time I saw you." Concubine Jing got up and pulled Song Qingzhi to her side, and praised her carefully. Song Qingzhi and her are very close to each other, and they have liked it since they first saw Song Qingzhi and Concubine Jing.

"Niangniang laughed, where is Qingzhi as good as Niangniang said, but Niangniang is getting younger and younger, and others look at us and think we are the same size." Song Qingzhi smiled, Concubine Jing was not as formal and rigid as other concubines, so Song Qingzhi's words were also more relaxed.

"It's sweet in your mouth." Concubine Jing smiled, but what Song Qingzhi said was not an exaggeration, originally Concubine Jing was only in her early forties, coupled with excellent maintenance, her eyebrows and eyes were charming, and her cheeks and clusters were touching.

"Qingzhi, the date of your marriage contract with Ye'er is almost up, how about you get married after this spring banquet?" Concubine Jing looked at Song Qingzhi and asked.

"Your Highness hasn't mentioned it yet, Your Highness seems to be very busy recently, and Qing Zhi is afraid of delaying Your Highness." Song Qingzhi has no opinion, but Concubine Jing suddenly mentioned marriage to herself, and Song Qingzhi was still a little shy.

"What does he have to do, it's the right thing to marry you quickly. At the beginning, His Majesty just set a marriage contract for you but did not say a specific time, but now the palace looks at Ye'er and should really find someone to take care of it, it is better for you to get married earlier, and he is relieved to have you by his side, but he is afraid that the prime minister will not be willing to you. Concubine Jing smiled and spoke.

"Qingzhi is at the mercy of Niangniang's arrangement." Song Qingzhi bowed her head shyly, her eyes drooping slightly. A girl's shy posture makes people can't help but like it when they see it.

"Okay, then the palace will take charge and mention your marriage." Concubine Jing saw Song Qingzhi nodding in agreement, and she was naturally happy in her heart.

"Niangniang, has His Royal Highness come to the palace to see you recently?" Song Qingzhi was worried about Nangong Ye's safety and asked.

"Where will he remember to come to see me, he hasn't been feeling well lately, and I don't know if he's getting better recently." Concubine Jing chuckled lightly, her words were strange, but her eyes were dodgy.

Song Qingzhi bowed slightly when she saw this, her thick eyelashes covered her thoughts, and she didn't ask any more.

"It's not early, the spring banquet is about to start, you should go first." Concubine Jing seemed to think of something and asked Song Qingzhi to leave.

"Qing Zhi retired." Song Qingzhi didn't want to get up and leave.

Looking at Song Qingzhi's departure, Concubine Jing sighed, not knowing that Ye'er's affairs were going well.

"Miss, don't worry, Xu is Niangniang is inconvenient to tell you what His Highness is doing, so she didn't say it." Looking at the sullen Song Qingzhi, Nuan Qin opened her mouth to comfort.

"But miss, do you really want to marry into the palace immediately?" Nuan Qin asked again.

"I don't know why Niangniang suddenly mentioned it, but I should just talk about it." Song Qingzhi was already confused, where could she think so much.

"Oops! Miss, why is the purse on your waist gone? Nuan Qin suddenly pointed at Song Qingzhi's waist and spoke.

Song Qingzhi immediately looked down, the purse was indeed gone, and what was in it was the peace blessing she asked for for Nangong Ye, "What can I do about this, did I drop it just now, let's go back along the road to find it." ”

"Miss, don't worry, the palace banquet is about to start, and if you don't go, it's too late. You go to the palace banquet first, and I'll find you a purse. "Nuan Qin came up with a plan.

"It's okay, you go and go back quickly, pay attention to safety, if you really can't find it, forget it, just wait for me to go back and ask for another one." Song Qingzhi nodded.

Nuan Qin hurriedly ran away, Song Qingzhi looked at her waist in annoyance, and always felt that it was not a good sign. He was about to turn to leave, but he hit his head on a broad chest.

Song Qingzhi hurriedly took a step back, stretched out her hand to rub her aching forehead, and when she raised her eyes, she saw a handsome face, a pair of starry eyes were staring at her, her eyes were slightly cold, but the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked. Song Qingzhi was panicked by him, but she had doubts in her heart. The one in front of him is the current Chengwang Nangong Shu, he is the most inconspicuous of all the princes, and it is also the one that His Majesty dislikes the most, His Majesty has long named him Chengwang and driven him out of the palace, but he, the prince, has done extremely leisurely, and has no real power in his hands.

Song Qingzhi can occasionally see this prince when she goes to the palace, but every time she sees him, he is either unknown or suppressed by a group of ministers and princes, but this dignified prince always retreats without caring about it, Song Qingzhi still feels a little pity for this prince in her heart, and she thought that this is the helplessness of being born in the royal family.

But when she saw it today, Song Qingzhi seemed to feel that she had recognized the wrong person, and the person in front of her exuded the aura of a king, and such a powerful aura really couldn't be ignored.

"I've seen His Royal Highness King Cheng, the courtiers didn't see His Highness collide with His Highness just now, and I ask Your Highness to forgive me." Song Qingzhi sorted out her thoughts, no matter whether His Majesty likes this prince or not, but he is a royal family after all, Song Qingzhi still has to act according to the rules of the royal family.

"It's okay, Miss Song is absent-minded, but she is thinking about the second brother?" Nangong Shu took a step closer.

"Since His Royal Highness King Cheng is fine, the courtiers will retire first. The palace banquet is about to begin, and if the father of the courtier is late, he will blame the courtier. Nangong Shu's question made Song Qingzhi a little alert, she was forced to retreat by Nangong Shu, and bowed her head slightly without directly answering Nangong Shu's question.

"I heard that the second brother has been in poor health recently, but this king has not had time to see the second brother, can Miss Song know the current situation of the second brother?" Nangong Shu did not stop asking questions, but pressed harder.

"The courtiers haven't seen His Royal Highness for a while, but His Highness's body should be fine. The prince and His Royal Highness are brothers, and they should know more than their courtiers. Song Qingzhi wanted to prevaricate in the past, but King Cheng pressed forward step by step, and she had to pretend that she didn't know anything.

"Really? Didn't the second brother tell you when he left Jin'an City? I thought my second brother would definitely tell his sweetheart. Nangong Shu chuckled, with a slight doubt in his voice.

"Lord Wang••••••" Song Qingzhi suddenly raised her head when she heard this, she really didn't know why King Cheng suddenly appeared to anger her.

"It seems that the rumors can't be believed, and the second brother doesn't like you very much, otherwise why wouldn't he tell you if he left for so long?" Nangong Shu forced Song Qingzhi into a corner by speaking.

At this time, Song Qingzhi had no way to retreat, and a trace of panic flashed in her bright eyes. In the face of King Cheng's actions, Song Qingzhi really had nothing to do, she couldn't judge whether King Cheng really knew the news of Nangong Ye's departure, and she was afraid that King Cheng was deliberately deceiving herself. She couldn't reveal the news she knew, for fear of causing trouble to Nangong Ye, but she had to find a way to deal with Nangong Shu.
