Chapter 2 Nangong Shu

"Zhi'er, why are you here? I've been looking for you for a long time. Just when Song Qingzhi was at a loss, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind her, and it was Nangong Ye.

"Your Highness!" Song Qingzhi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Nangong Ye not far away, but she was more surprised, she didn't expect Nangong Ye to appear.

"Isn't this the fourth brother? The spring banquet is about to start, why is the fourth brother here? Nangong Ye immediately protected Song Qingzhi behind him, and raised his eyebrows to look at Nangong Shu opposite. As soon as he came back, he hurriedly entered the palace to participate in the Spring Festival banquet, but he didn't expect to see Song Qingzhi being forced to retreat to the corner by Nangong Shu just after walking a short distance, and he only spoke out to relieve the siege.

"Nothing, isn't that just going. I happened to run into Miss Song just now, so I cared about the second brother's body by the way, and now I am relieved to see that the second brother is fine. Nangong smiled.

"That's really the concern of Fourth Brother Lao." Nangong Ye stared at Nangong Shu with disdain in his eyes, even such a waste dared to argue with himself, if he didn't care about his own image, he would definitely punch him hard now.

"Miss Song, this king is about to take a concubine, I don't know if you are interested?" Nangong Shu looked at Song Qingzhi on Nangong Ye's side and opened her mouth for no reason.

Song Qingzhi's beautiful eyes were instantly covered with a layer of anger, the emperor had already decreed that he had engaged to the second highness for himself, and now Nangong Shu actually asked himself in front of the second highness if he was interested in being the princess, not only embarrassing the second highness but also humiliating himself, it was too much.

"Nangong Shu, Zhi'er is your sister-in-law, and she will marry me soon. In the future, if there is no seriousness, don't say it again. Nangong Ye was completely enraged by Nangong Shu.

"Oh, is it? I don't think so. Nangong Shu stared at Song Qingzhi's disapproving opening, and then turned to leave.

Song Qingzhi felt a chill down her spine when Nangong Shu looked at her, she always felt that Nangong Shu looked at her eyes just now as if she was looking at a dying prey, and she couldn't escape no matter what.

"Zhi'er, are you alright?" Seeing Nangong leave in a hurry, Nangong Yecai turned around and looked at the people beside him and asked softly.

"I'm fine, Your Highness, are you okay these days? Are there any injuries outside? Song Qingzhi was interrupted by Nangong Ye's voice, she always felt that Nangong Ye had some changes after not seeing her for many days, Song Qingzhi always felt that Nangong Ye and herself looked at her differently than before, but it was only two months since she saw her, it should be her own heart. Maybe things don't go well outside, as long as others come back safely.

"I'm fine, what happened just now?" Nangong Ye seemed to care more about what had just happened.

"It was I who accidentally bumped into King Cheng, and he took the opportunity to ask me if His Highness was not in the city, and I said that he was mistaken. Fortunately, His Royal Highness arrived in time, otherwise Qing Zhi really didn't know what to do? Song Qingzhi looked at Nangong Yejiang and said what had just happened.

"I see, it's okay if you're okay. The palace banquet is about to begin, so let's hurry over. Nangong Ye spoke, and his eyes were still looking at the place where Nangong Shu left just now, as if he was thinking something.

Song Qingzhi nodded, she originally wanted to ask about Nangong Ye's current situation, but she still didn't ask after all.

"How?" An unfamiliar figure suddenly appeared next to King Cheng, who had just left, and King Cheng didn't seem surprised by this, but just spoke lightly.

"Lord Wang, through the content of their conversation, the second prince should not have been in the city recently, but what he did in the past needs to be further verified." The person who came followed King Cheng and observed the situation around him while reporting to King Cheng what he had just heard.

"Well, find out what he's leaving to do as soon as possible." King Cheng nodded, his narrow eyes half-narrowed, it seemed that his guess should be right.

"It's the prince, but why did you anger Miss Song just now?" Yan Huan asked puzzled.

King Cheng tilted his head and glanced at Cheng Ying, "It's the subordinates who are talkative." Yan Huan received King Cheng's eyes and immediately confessed, after all, he cherished life more than satisfying curiosity.

"It looks like they have a good relationship, so it's deliberate." Just when Yan Huan decided to give up asking, King Cheng's voice floated slowly.

Yan Huan was instantly petrified in place, what does his prince mean? Could it be that this is the legendary jealousy? It shouldn't, it shouldn't.

Song Qingzhi and Nangong Ye hurried slowly, and finally they were not late, the venue arrangement was the same as in previous years, the positions of the royal family and ministers were in front, and Song Qingzhi's position was relatively backward, so Song Qingzhi hurriedly and quietly sat down. Nuan Qin came in after Song Qingzhi, trotted behind Song Qingzhi, and handed the things in her hand to Song Qingzhi, "Miss, the purse has been found and the contents are intact." ”

"It's so good, I thought I couldn't find it just now, thank you for warming." Song Qingzhi took the purse in surprise.

"The emperor has arrived, the queen has arrived" A sharp voice came from the door, and everyone got up and knelt down.

The emperor and the empress ascended the throne together, and the emperor motioned for everyone to get up first, and then spoke, "Today is spring, may God bless me with the wind and rain and smooth the country and the people." ”

After the emperor and empress were seated, the voice of the eunuch was heard again, and everyone took their seats one after another.

Today is just a spring feast, not a real sacrifice, so there are no complicated etiquette and steps, and there is not much difference from the usual palace banquet. Amaterasu has only been in existence for more than 20 years, and although it has basically stabilized now, the spring festival has not yet resumed. The spring festival is a very grand ceremony, and it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to hold the spring festival, and when Amaterasu first established the country, the treasury was empty, so His Majesty changed the spring festival into a spring banquet, aiming to let the people recuperate and reduce taxes.

There was no singing and dancing at the banquet, and Song Qingzhi was tired after watching a few, so she stared at the purse in her hand. Thinking about what happened just now, Nangong Ye actually told King Cheng just now that he was his sister-in-law, was this to protect himself or for his face as a prince. Although Song Qingzhi knew that Nangong Ye didn't say this just for herself, Nangong Ye was willing to admit herself in front of others, and Song Qingzhi was still happy.

Thinking of this, Song Qingzhi's face was hot, and she looked up in the direction of Nangong Ye, but the person didn't look at herself. At the same time, Song Qingzhi's big gaze met another pair of eyes, Nangong Shu.

Looking at each other, Song Qingzhi was still afraid of Nangong Shu. At this time, Nangong Shu's gaze at her was very calm, as if they had never seen each other, although they were far away, Song Qingzhi was bewitched by Nangong Shu's empty dark eyes, as if she had fallen into a whirlpool and fell deeper and deeper.

After a while, Song Qingzhi came back to her senses, looked away, stretched out her hand and patted her face. What's wrong with herself, it's obvious that that person is so annoying, and she was so embarrassed just now, she can't take her eyes off it. Song Qingzhi, who was busy with annoyance, naturally didn't see the smile that appeared on Nangong Shu's face after she removed her eyes.

The dance music at the banquet was waved away by the emperor who was seated, and everyone looked at the emperor for some reason. "The spring feast is blessed, and I want to announce a happy event to you through today's joy. I gave Ye'er and the eldest lady of the prime minister's family a marriage early in the morning, and now that the two children have reached the age of starting a family, I decided to let the two children choose an auspicious day to get married. I don't know what the prime minister wants? The emperor looked at the prime minister with a smile on his face.

Prime Minister Song Cheng got up and showed embarrassment on his face, he is such a pair of children, his son is determined to be a general, and in the end, he has not stopped the foreign garrison to this day, and there is only one daughter left by his side. Prime Minister Song Qingzhi has always been favored by 100 obedience, he will give Song Qingzhi whatever he wants, he has held it in his mouth since he was a child, and he is afraid of falling when he holds it in his hand, and now he is willing to marry his daughter quickly.

But on an occasion like today, if you don't agree to save the emperor's face, I'm afraid it's hard to explain, but it's really difficult for you to agree, and you can't think of any perfect plan for a while.

Song Qingzhi saw her father's embarrassment, but today's result may be difficult to change. Not to mention that my father can't accept it, or that I'm confused. The look in Song Qingzhi's eyes darkened slightly, and when she looked up and saw Nangong Ye smiling at herself, Song Qingzhi's troubled heart calmed down a little, but fortunately, the person she was going to marry was her sweetheart.

"What? Song Aiqing is reluctant to have a daughter, and she is afraid that my emperor will treat you badly. "The emperor saw that Prime Minister Song Cheng didn't speak for a long time, so he spoke first.

"The minister doesn't dare, the second highness is a talent, he is generous and kind, and he will treat the little girl well. It's just that the minister is getting older now, and there is only this one daughter around him who often goes around his knees, and if his daughter marries so soon, he will be a little lonely. The prime minister bowed down and said respectfully.

"Oh! It turns out that this is the case, how could I not think about the prime minister, Song Qingyi has been stationed at the border pass and has done many miraculous feats, I have already summoned Song Qingyi to return to Kyoto to reunite with your family, even if the prime minister marries his daughter, he will not be lonely. The Emperor spoke aloud.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, this •••••• minister." The prime minister was stunned, originally thought that his son was far away at the border, and such a statement could stay with Zhi'er for a while longer, but he didn't expect Yi'er to come back, and now there is no reason to refuse, so he can only agree.

"Okay, since the prime minister has agreed, then I will immediately let people choose a good day to do the happy event for the two children." The emperor looked at the prime minister happily, and the sound of congratulations soon sounded around him.

"Congratulations to the Prime Minister, the eldest lady is dignified and gentle, and His Royal Highness is really a match made in heaven."

"yes, congratulations."

Song Qingzhi is also happy, not only because she is going to marry Nangong Ye, but also because her brother is coming back, she and her brother have not seen each other for three years, and they miss it very much, and now that her brother is coming back, their family can finally be reunited. Thinking of this, a smile also appeared on Song Qingzhi's face, she was really happy that a pair of eyes had been bent into crescents, revealing a pair of shallow dimples.

But he didn't notice Nangong Shu, Nangong Shu kept staring at Song Qingzhi, and saw Song Qingzhi smiling like this, the wine glass in his hand suddenly clenched, and his eyes were so cold that he could freeze to death. Does this girl want to marry Nangong Ye so much, happy to be like this.
