Chapter 115: Surrender
"Say hello to Sister Fang."
Song Shuren entered the house and saluted in a proper manner.
"It's almost free, and I also care about these red tapes in private." Fang Yu had a shallow smile on his face and waved his hand, "Sister sit down." ”
Turning his head and commanding, "Qingrong, serve tea." ”
"Yes." Qingrong bowed his head.
After a while, the tea and snack were put on the table.
Song Shuren took a sip before explaining the intention.
"Thinking that the second girl's full moon banquet is coming, this gift should have been given on the same day, but sister, you also know that I don't have any good things, and when I send it with others, my sister may not be able to see it, so for this selfishness, I brought it first."
As she spoke, she motioned for her maid to come forward and place a small carved wooden box on the table.
Fang Yu made a strange gesture and said softly.
"Look at what you said, courtesy is light and affection is not important, everything given to the child is a heart, how can I not remember it."
"When my sister said this, I was relieved, my sister opened it and took a look." Song Shuren said with a smile.
Qingrong immediately stepped forward and opened the box.
When Fang Yu took a look, he saw a pair of hand-carved fat dolls inside, painted with lacquer, exquisite craftsmanship, and cute.
Deng Shi became interested, picked up one and looked at it.
"This doll is very fresh, I've never seen it, it seems to be fashionable in Kyoto, isn't it my sister's mother's thing?"
Song Shuren is not from Beijing, but from other places.
"Yes, this doll is prayed for in my mother's house, hoping for the health and safety of the child, this doll is when I got married, my father and mother dragged the best local craftsmen to make it, thinking about giving it to my future child, but now I may not be able to use it, and it is appropriate to give it to the second girl now."
As soon as he heard this, Fang Yu immediately excused himself.
"How can this be made, this is considered my sister's dowry, how can I give it to the second girl, my sister's mind, I understand it, but such a valuable thing is unacceptable!"
But unexpectedly, Song Shuren suddenly got up very firmly and saluted Fang Yu.
"Fang Liangdi, the concubine knows that you are a capable person, although this is a little unpleasant, but when we entered the palace, no one would have thought that you could be favored, and even that you would be able to raise children with little qualifications, the concubine has no ability, and she doesn't want to compete for favor, but the concubine wants to live well, so the concubine hopes to get your protection."
After she said this, Fang Yu's face gradually faded, only there was a smile or two on her lips.
"Sister Song, I don't understand what she said, you want to seek refuge, Concubine Yang should be a better candidate than me, as you said, I can be favored is something that everyone didn't expect, then it will be reasonable for me to fall out of favor, it is easy, besides, His Royal Highness's grace to me is average, I don't have the support of my mother's family, and I am even dragged down by my mother's family, sister, you don't want to earn, I don't want to, how can I say protection?"
Listening to Fang Yu say this, Song Shuren did not change her mind at all.
He pursed his lips, and then looked at her firmly.
"Don't hide it from Liangdi, from the time I was bullied by He Liangdi and beaten to death by her to the bridal maid, my heart was dead, I didn't dare to complain about His Highness, I didn't dare to complain about the crown princess, and the only thing I could resent was the He family, but she didn't receive much punishment at all."
"Later, Concubine Yang showed favor to me and took care of her everywhere, I saw that Liangdi you were also close to her, so I thought she was reliable, but then I found out that Concubine Yang looked good, but she was inconsequential and good, and she never really did anything for me, everything was still in her interests first, so I realized that I had thought about it well, and I had to plan for myself."
"But I really know my personality, even if I earn favor, it is estimated that it will be short-lived, and it will not last long, not to mention that I mustered up the courage to dance at the last princess's birthday banquet, but I didn't earn any pity from His Highness at all, but I am good for you, eat a crab, and let His Highness remember, so I don't want to earn it."
Speaking of this, Song Shuren suddenly knelt down.
"Fang Liangdi, I promise that I will never compete with you for favor, I just want to be able to live a lifetime in this palace in peace, and avenge my poor dowry girl, I just hope that Liangdi you can protect me from being slaughtered, naturally, although I am not smart enough, I am also willing to do my best for Liangdi!"
When these last words came out, Song Shuren's eyes were much sharper, and the sense of firmness was beyond words.
Fang Yu took all her words and deeds in his eyes, but his face was still calm.
In the face of this surrender, she did not dare to take it easily.
Not to mention that I don't know if the Song family is acting, even if you are not acting, people will follow you enthusiastically, but you can't give others any benefits at all, and you can't hold it on your face.
Now, Fang Yu always feels that he is still a little unstable.
Therefore, after a while, Fang Yu only gently pulled the kneeling Song Shuren up.
"My sister's friendship, I remember it in my heart, but my sister should also go back and think clearly, I am indeed not a reliable enough to rely on, this matter, you and I will think about it again, you also know, now I have to take care of the second girl, and I don't have any extra thoughts."
Speaking of which, Song Shuren is naturally inconvenient to stalk anymore, so if she has to have a result, she has to agree first.
After sending her away, Qingrong came back and said in a low voice.
"The slave looked at Song Shuren as if she was sincere."
"It's not sincere, can you dig out her heart and see it?" Fang Yu asked lightly, "Let's keep an eye on it, I'd rather go alone than have traitors around me." ”
Qingrong Zhengzhi nodded.
Two days passed in a flash.
Ming'er is the full moon banquet of the second girl, the children of the East Palace, no matter the concubine, the banquet is decent, and there will be no fewer guests, so Fang Yu, the adoptive mother, has to do her homework and can't drop the chain.
During this time, she has been collecting information about Qingrong and Yanwei, the nobles and nobles in Beijing.
Although the big scene is the crown princess's business, it is inevitable that there will be a few in case you talk to her, you can't be stupid there.
So when Pei Yao suddenly came over at night, he heard the master and servant in the house talking.
"This eldest princess is a goose egg face, slender and tall, the second princess is a melon seed face, plump and graceful, the third princess is the queen's concubine, she looks very similar to the queen, always smiling and moaning gently, the fourth princess is a concubine, her biological mother died early, although she was born beautiful, but she is always timid, and she likes to keep her head down."
Yanwei has been in the East Palace for a few more years, and in previous years, there were banquets in the East Palace, so she knew a lot of distinguished guests, so this time she was giving Fang Yu the last and most critical VIP explanation.
Fang Yu was listening carefully, and Pei Yao's laughter came from the door.
"Why are your lords and servants carrying the royal genealogy here?"
His voice sounded, startling the wild goose who was explaining, and he didn't say half of the words, so he hiccuped, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted in fear.
Fang Yu smiled slightly reproachfully and glanced at him before getting up and going over.
"Your Highness doesn't allow people outside to spread the word first, the concubine is weak, don't be scared out of illness another day!"
