Song Suqing took the tea, took small sips as he said, and suppressed the strength for a while.

Seeing that she had eased up, Pei Muyao withdrew his hand quietly, and said calmly: "Of course I know that you came to me for your own reasons, and you also provided me with the corresponding information, but I want to do another business with you." ”

There was a little inquiry in his thin eyes, and Song Suqing was a little uncomfortable with his gaze, but his words aroused her curiosity, "What business?" ”

Pei Muyao looked at her quietly for a while before he said, "Tell me truthfully, why don't you look for the imperial brother, why are you willing to enter the palace as a companion." ”

Hearing this, Song Suqing's fingers under the table tightened, his hands clasped together, and he pursed his lips silently.

She understood the meaning of Pei Muyao's words, and he was skeptical of his previous answers to these two questions, or that he didn't believe her vague answers from the beginning.

What doesn't do her business, what is not the same as Pei Yichen, Pei Muyao doesn't believe it.

Pei Muyao didn't urge her but gave her time to think, if she still answered subconsciously this time, he wouldn't believe it, Song Suqing's defensiveness was much heavier than he imagined, even beyond the state of mind that should be at this age.

I don't know how long it took, Song Xu sighed, raised his eyes and looked directly into his eyes, "You said you were doing business, so what can I get." ”

Pei Muyao looked back at her, his eyes were deep, and he didn't pretend to be mysterious, and said bluntly: "I protect you wholeheartedly." ”

After a pause, he added, "Anything." ”

The author has something to say:

I'm late, sorry!

Chapter 19: Brother

(You were young at the time, it's normal not to remember)

The words were closed, and the room was quiet for a moment.

Song Xuqing's lips tightened slightly, and her eyes stared at Pei Muyao without blinking, and the shock brought by his words was nothing more than her realization that she had another life, which was the promise of the future prince.

But she knew very well that if it was as he said, they would be grasshoppers on a rope from now on.

Song Suqing would not refuse to ride in the same boat with the future prince, but he didn't understand, but he just wanted her to answer two questions truthfully, why he could gamble on such a valuable promise.

Pei Muyao stared at it for a moment, the person in front of him was silent for a long time, and his clear and moist eyes changed a lot in a short period of time.

I don't know how long it has been, Song Suqing still hasn't figured it out, and when he was about to ask, he heard Pei Muyao's light cough, he seemed to see through what he was thinking, and said: "Whether your answer is worth the promise I gave is measured by me, I think it's worth it." ”

Song Xuqing's slender eyelashes trembled slightly, she took a sip of tea thoughtfully to clear her throat, and said clearly: "Do you want to know my attitude towards the prince, or the attitude of the Hou Mansion towards the prince." ”

Hearing this, Pei Muyao tapped his fingertips on the table, and a trace of determination flashed in his narrow eyes.

Song Suqing looked at his gradually cold eyes, and his round eyes subconsciously turned around, for fear that a long sword would come through, and said quickly: "I don't think I'm just a vague name here after that night in Nanjian Temple, you are curious why I know about Li Jin, whether other people in the Hou Mansion know, and people with a discerning eye know that the prince is the best choice for the concubines of the Hou Mansion, why did I find you, it is not reasonable to be reasonable." ”

As her words fell, the coldness in Pei Muyao's eyes gradually dissipated, "You are very smart. ”

As she said, he was indeed curious about it, but it was not enough for him to exchange this promise, but it was just that he dreamed and intertwined with these things, and that meant wrong.

When you talk about it here, there are some things that don't need to be talked about, but I have a rod in my heart.

Pei Muyao chuckled, "I want to know your attitude." ”

This was a bit unexpected by Song Suqing, she was slightly stunned, and said the reason that came to her mind: "Niangniang suddenly found a companion for the princess, many nobles in Beijing are guessing Niangniang's intentions, but for which prince is choosing a concubine, the marriage of several other princes will not interfere, then only the prince and His Royal Highness are left, and I am more inclined to Niangniang is choosing a concubine for the prince." ”

Song Suqing paused and continued: "This was confirmed by His Highness not long ago, but will he really choose a concubine among the companions?" ”

Pei Muyao didn't speak, took a sip of tea and motioned for her to continue.

"I heard that not long ago, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent the guards of the East Palace to look for a woman everywhere."

This matter was also heard by Song Suqing a few days ago after a meal by several noble ladies in the Chongyuan Palace, and then she knew that it was not that there were no rumors but that she just ignored them.

But this is also something in the past, even if she has not heard of it, it is impossible for her to marry into the East Palace again in this life.

"I've found it." Pei Muyao said lightly, but the next moment, his tone changed, "But if there is no such woman, you will marry the imperial brother." ”

Song Suqing was silent, pondering the meaning of his words, but he didn't see the reason for looking at it for a while, and it seemed that he just asked casually.

"If it reaches the point where you can't refuse, you will naturally get married." Song Suqing pretended to smile lightly, compared the words of the previous life, and said jokingly: "But I don't want to have anything to do with the East Palace, there are so many rules that clash with me." ”

The lukewarm tone fell on Pei Muyao's ears, but there was a little disgust, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, "Can you find someone to calculate?" ”

I don't know when the feeling of oppression in the wing room has disappeared, and Song Xu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "I don't know." ”

Pei Muyao picked up the teacup and stretched out his hand slightly, "I know your thoughts, if you need my help in the future, just come to me." ”

Song Suqing wiped the sweat in his palms with a handkerchief under the table, picked up the tea and touched him, "Your Highness Xie." ”

Her suddenly relaxed appearance did not escape Pei Muyao's eyes, he raised his eyebrows, "Your maid is still downstairs, even if you say the wrong thing, I won't kill you here." ”

Song Suqing: "......"

A smile flashed in Pei Muyao's eyes, and he no longer teased her, "Can you have breakfast?" ”

"It came out after using it." Song Xu shook his chin, "If Your Highness doesn't have anything else, I'll go back first." ”

"Hmm." Pei Muyao didn't keep her either.

Song Xu blessed his body, and when he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly remembered one thing and stopped again.

Seeing this, Pei Muyao lifted her eyes puzzled, saw her slightly puzzled expression, and asked, "Something you want to ask me?" ”

Song Suqing hesitated a little, sat back down, and said: "When we first met, His Royal Highness mentioned that I was a child, but I thought about it and seemed to have never seen you before meeting in Nanjian Temple, I don't know when His Highness was a child?" ”

At the same time, there was a knock on the door of the wing.

Pei Muyao glanced at it, "Come in." ”

The door was pushed open from the outside, and Sawakawa and Ki'an entered with a tray.

Zechuan put the small plates in the tray on the tea table the same, the delicate and small pastries exuded wisps of fragrance, and the last dish was no more than the size of a thumb osmanthus cake, Zechuan deliberately placed it in front of Song Suqing, as if it was specially left for her.

Pei Muyao raised his eyebrows slightly, "Try to see if it suits your appetite." ”

Song Xu swept the osmanthus cake in the dish of his eyes, and the osmanthus petals carved on the small pastry were lifelike.

Pei Muyao was not interested in pastries, but yesterday when Fu Yanji was gossiping with him, he mentioned the scene at the door of Zhaoting Division, and said that Song Suqing and Fu Wan had complained about a piece of pastry when they were children and did not speak for a few days.

He remembered that when he saw Song Suqing for the first time, he was also holding a piece of sweet and greasy jujube paste in his hand, so he asked Zechuan to prepare it.

Song Suqing pinched a piece of osmanthus cake, took a small bite with a little hesitation, the rich fragrance of osmanthus bloomed from her mouth, her eyes lit up, "Which pastry is this, why haven't I heard of it?" ”

Pei Muyao smiled, "The craftsmanship of the small kitchen of Changning Palace, if you like it, you can bring it back." ”

Song Suqing's eyes were stunned when he heard this, and he swept over the food on the table, "Niangniang's heart to His Highness, I won't say much." ”

Zechuan, who was waiting by his side, heard this, lowered his eyes and glanced at his master's expression, and said, "The master doesn't like sweets, so he specially ordered me to go into the palace to find the girl." ”

Pei Muyao glanced at Zechuan without showing a look, and didn't blame him for talking too much, just waved his hand.

Song Suqing blinked, looked at Zechuan's departing figure, and then looked at Pei Muyao, and realized that he hadn't had the intention of beating her, "Your Highness bothered." ”

Watching her bite into the pastry, Pei Muyao said: "The first time I met you was in the palace, you were only four years old that year, and it is normal not to remember." ”

Song Suqing was stunned, "But my mother also said that we have never met." ”

Pei Muyao didn't expect her to ask Xu's family, and muttered, "Father and Emperor invited the ministers, many ministers and family members came to the palace, you got lost and met me who returned to the palace, at that time I took Huilan to play by the lake, you stumbled over with a piece of pastry in your hand, and there were tears in your eyes, but I didn't see you crying, so I looked at me and asked me if I could take you to find your mother." ”

Song Suqing remembered that when Pei Muyao found her in the previous life, he also mentioned the promise made when she was a child, and now it seems that it should be the fate of that time.

"Later, it was the eunuch who sent you back, so it's normal for your mother not to know that we have met." Pei Muyao said.

Song Xu nodded clearly, "I see, I wonder why I don't have this memory." ”

Pei Muyao didn't think about asking her to remember this, "You were still young at the time, and it's normal not to remember." ”

Song Xuqing sighed, lowered his eyes and took a bite of the crystal cake, and ate it silently.

The sun shone on her near noon, shining a little light on her little white face.

Pei Muyao lowered his gaze and took a thoughtful sip of tea.

Although he was sent to Nanjian Temple when he was a child, in fact, he would return to the palace every month, and the day he met Song Suqing, it happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he got up early to return to the palace.

When he returned to the palace, there was no minister in the palace, so he accompanied Pei Huilan to play by the pavilion, and the noise of rustling became more and more after the sun came up, so he wanted to take his sister back to Changning Palace.

The young Pei Huilan was finally able to come out to play once, and with her brother by her side, she naturally didn't want to go back, she kept struggling and crying in Pei Muyao's arms, and she didn't know how to make it, and the toy in her hand fell into the lake.

It was Pei Huilan's favorite bamboo ball, and he cried even louder now.

Because they were playing in the palace, the two did not bring servants with them, Pei Muyao wanted to call the guards but Pei Huilan refused to leave, so he had no choice but to carry her down the pavilion to the lake.

The lake in the palace is artificially dug and the water is not too deep, Pei Muyao is used to water, and after calming his sister, he has to go into the water to help her get the ball.

When he rolled up his trousers, he caught a glimpse of a little girl stumbling over, with tears in her eyes but still chewing pastries on her lips, and the moment she saw him, she ran faster, limping at a trot, and she was afraid that she would fall to the ground the next moment.

"Brother." The little girl called him crisply, her eyes were aggrieved, without the slightest defense, "My mother is gone." ”

Pei Muyao looked around, except for this little girl, he didn't see any figures, he frowned and asked, "Whose child are you?" ”

The little girl couldn't understand what he was saying, and she didn't forget to bite into the pastry as she shook her head.

Pei Muyao smiled, squatted down and looked at her, "What's your name?" ”

Now she understood, tilted her head, "My name is Song Suqing." ”

The little girl in front of her blinked her sparkling eyes, and her voice was glutinous and similar to the taste of the jujube paste cake in her hand.

The author has something to say:

Hindsight realized that yesterday was 520, so today is 521!

Thank you for your love and love!!!

Chapter 20: Killing Intent

(What do you do in the water)

After the little girl finished speaking, she took a bite of the jujube mud cake again, and it seemed that she had no fear of being lost.

There are not many officials surnamed Song in the court, but only the Xuanwu Hou family can enter and leave the palace banquet, Pei Muyao has a consideration in his heart, and said: "I will ask someone to send you back." ”

"Brother!" As soon as Pei Huilan heard the word "go back", he rushed out from the side and hugged his brother's thigh, pointed to the lakeside and said inarticulately: "Don't go back, pick up the ball." ”

Unlike Song Suqing, Pei Huilan's round eyes couldn't hold tears, and bean-sized tears soaked her little face.
