Chapter VII
The two of them just passed by the red shadow, but they didn't see the true face of the shadow, so they could only go home in a huff.
"Niangniang, the slave will go and get some pure water used in the Jing'an Temple to drive away evil spirits." Qingyue is a traditional Jiangnan woman who believes in the theory of chaotic power and strange gods.
Song Zhiwei didn't speak, but she thought that the more she didn't dare to show her true face, the more unspeakable secrets were hidden behind it.
"I'll go back in the evening!" Song Zhi said secretly.
The next day, before the sun set in the west, Song Zhi couldn't hold back his curiosity to find out again, and even ate a few bites of dinner at random.
The sun finally disappeared, the moon crept up into the sky, seven or eight stars appeared and disappeared around the moon, and two or three drizzles scattered on the eaves, but the night was a little charming.
Song Zhi was worried that the red shadow might not appear in place today, so he let a few chamberlains scatter around, and once it appeared, he would immediately arrest it.
This time, Song Zhi did not carry any candles, and took Qingyue to the place of yesterday again.
The group waited for a long time, but did not see the red shadow appear, and they planned to return in vain, but at that moment, the cry came from not far away.
Song Zhi's eyes suddenly lit up with a flash of starlight, and the bird quietly approached the red shadow.
The red shadow was also timid, and as soon as Song Zhi's hand was on her shoulder, she let out a sharp cry like a frightened deer.
"Asahi rose?" Song Zhi saw the appearance of the red shadow clearly and found that it was the young and immature princess Chaogui. Although Song Zhi has been in the palace for a long time, he has not met with Chao Zhu a few times, but he just hurriedly met at the original princess and ceremony.
Chao Gui is Zhao Yichen's half-sister, the first emperor was over fifty years old to get this daughter, if he got the treasure, even if Chao Gui wanted the stars in the sky, the first emperor would find a way to get it from the sky and send it to her.
"Sister Lis?" Chao Gui cried like a tearful person, and without saying anything, he drilled into Song Zhi's arms.
"I'm not Li Si, my name is Song Zhi." Song Zhi's eyes suddenly dimmed, and his tone was cold and indifferent.
"You're the royal brother's favorite concubine? Then can you let the imperial brother take back his life, I don't want to go and kiss. Chao Guisheng is extremely well raised, and his long black hair hangs down on the red dress at will, and his flawless skin looks even more delicate under the reflection of the two.
Song Zhi wiped away Chao Gui's tears and helped him up, "You calm down." ”
Outside the house, the wind and frost were heavy, and Chao Gui was thinly dressed, and his shoes and socks were already wet after staying outside the house for a long time. The princess hall was far away from here, and Song Zhi had no choice but to bring Chao Gui back to his Yilan Palace.
With a cup of warm tea, Chao Gui's spirit returned.
After tossing for half a night, Song Zhi's tiredness came to her heart again, and now that she had found the source of the disturbing dream, she could finally sleep peacefully at this moment.
Song knew that the futon was not yet hot, and he felt as if something had gotten into the quilt at his feet.
"Sister Song Zhi, can I sleep with you tonight? I'm a little scared to sleep alone, usually Amei accompanies me, I ran out alone today, and no one slept with me. Chao Gui's eyes flashed, but he was just a teenager's appearance, although his facial features were somewhat similar to Zhao Yichen, but after all, Chao Gui was more lovable.
"Sleep." Song Zhi's tone was indifferent, and he still let Chao Gui set up a suitable position for sleeping in the quilt, and his hand did not forget to gently pat Chao Gui's shoulder.
Chao Gui's sleeping posture was extremely unstable, turning over and turning her head for a while, so that Song Zhi didn't sleep well, she looked at the sleeping Chao Gui helplessly, and could only get up and wash at dawn.
"Niangniang took care of Princess Chaogui for a night, the slave has sent someone to tell the people in the princess hall yesterday, Princess Chaogui stayed in the Yilan Palace yesterday." Qingyue carefully made a towel for Song Zhicheng, and then served him tea.
"You have also worked hard, I have never regarded you as a slave, there will only be a place for the two of us in the future, you don't call yourself a slave." Song Zhi looked at Chao Zhu last night, and couldn't help but think of himself who was sent to the palace at the beginning, if he didn't have Qingyue's company, he was afraid that he would have become a slope of loess now.
"I see." Qingyue didn't treat Song Zhi with sisterly affection.
Qingyue's parents died early, and she became an embroiderer in Helan Mansion when she was very young. It is precisely because he has no family background that he has been bullied. Since Song Zhi appeared, he rescued Qingyue in a crowd of punches and kicks, intimately medicated her, and begged Mrs. Helan to allow Qingyue to serve in her room, completely rescuing Qingyue from the tiger's wolf's den.
Therefore, when Qingyue knew that Song Zhi was going to enter the palace, she understood that if she didn't accompany Song Zhi into the palace, the two would not be able to see each other in this life, even if she lived a life of licking blood from the knife in the future, she would have to enter the palace to accompany Song Zhi, and she didn't want her to bear it alone.
"Tell me, why did you run out alone?" Song Zhi took a sip of hot tea, and his tone was flat.
"I ..... I don't want to go and kiss. Chao Gui puffed up his little face and sat on the stool next to Song Zhi.
"You can go to your imperial brother and say, what's the matter with running out?" Although her status is as noble as a princess, she still has layers of restraints and shackles, and when she thinks of this, Song Zhi can't bear to blame the little girl in front of her.
"It was the royal brother who asked me to go and kiss! But I've already told him I'm in love! Like other women in love, Chao Gui talked about the person she liked, and a blush crept up on her cheeks.
"In short, everything has not yet come to fruition, your royal brother is definitely reluctant to let you go to the princess palace, maybe it is just a delaying tactic, as a princess, you can't mess with yourself, you will return to the princess palace as soon as possible after breakfast."
"I'm not going back, you're much more comfortable than mine, I'm willing to stay here!" Chao Hui has a piece of pastry in his hand, and his little face is stuffed round, which is very cute.
"Your Majesty has arrived!" Qin Neishi's voice was as sharp as ever, but it always made people's hearts tremble.
Before Song Zhi and the others could react, Chao Gui had already hid back in the quilt and pretended to be asleep.
Xu learned that Chao Gui did not return yesterday night, Zhao Yichen's spirit was not as good as a few days ago, and his robe was a little messy, which showed how anxious he was yesterday.
"Chao Rose! I know you're pretending to be asleep, get up and talk. Zhao Yichen's voice was low, suppressing his anger.
