Song Suqing glanced sideways at her mother's expression and nodded.

Xu said that Song Suqing knew everything, she was not afraid to see the queen, but afraid to meet Pei Yichen in this short period of time.

Thinking about it for a moment, Song Suqing pursed her lips and asked as a joke: "Mother, what do you think of me being the crown princess?" ”

"Nonsense." Xu's heart sank, and he raised his hand and poked his daughter's forehead, with a serious expression, "He is not a good match for you, don't say this kind of thing again in the future." ”

Song Suqing saw that she was really angry, so she hurriedly shook her hand and said coquettishly: "I know, I'm just asking." ”

Xu stared at her for a while, and when he saw that her eyes were not abnormal, as if she was just joking as she said, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and continued to talk to her.

In the early morning of the next day, the carriage of the Hou Mansion was already waiting at the door.

The Xuanwu Marquis Mansion is some distance from the palace, and if you want to arrive at the palace gate before the appointed time, you have to leave early.

The carriage ran unhurriedly towards its destination, and the wisps of the sun poured in as the breeze blew the curtain.

Song Xuqing, who was unusually sober, glanced at the sunlight falling on his knees, and slowly lifted the curtain to see that there were already many vendors on the street setting up stalls, waiting for the arrival of customers.

After crossing this long street, there was a street handled by the guards, there were not many people there, and when passing by this strange and familiar street, Song Xuqing's heart trembled slightly, and he looked at the branches of the trees on the side of the street in a daze.

After a long time, Song Suqing let go of his hand and let the curtain fall, and the bead chain inlaid on the curtain jingled.

The coachman parked the carriage at the designated location, and Song Suqing dismounted and handed some silver to the painting screen, ordering the two of them and the coachman to find a place to wait for her.

The guards guarding the palace gate carefully checked and went to Changning Palace to report after checking clearly.

Song Suqing waited at the gate of the palace for about a quarter of an hour, and only then did Ning Bao's father-in-law lead a group of eunuchs and palace maids to come.

Seeing her standing there idle, Ning Bao hurriedly stepped forward and bent over, "The girl has been waiting for a long time, please come with the slave." ”

Song Suqing smiled and walked in with him.

The road of this palace gate from Changning Palace was firmly engraved in her heart, and even which palace gate she had to pass through on the way and where that palace gate led was clear.

But that was when she was the crown princess, and at this time she was just the young daughter of the Marquis of Xuanwu, and she should not squint when she passed through these places.

Ning Bao is not a person of many words, but he has been with the queen for many years, and has met many nobles, Rao is extremely dignified noblewomen with extremely dignified manners can't help but be curious when they first enter the palace, but it is rare to see as quiet as Song Suqing.

It wasn't until he walked through the last palace gate and faintly saw the plaque on the door of Changning Palace that Ning Bao said: "Princess Huilan is also in the palace, and when she came out, the princess also told the slave to take a shortcut to take you in." ”

Song Suqing could think of Pei Huilan's expression when he said this, and a smile appeared on his face, "Thank you princess for your concern." ”

However, in fact, Ning Bao did not take her to take a shortcut, but took her through the aisle and palace gate according to the palace rules, but did not forget to convey Pei Huilan's intentions.

When Song Suqing stepped into the last palace gate, a figure suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Pei Huilan ran out of Changning Palace, running happily with his skirt in both hands, "Long time no see!" ”

Song Xu smiled and bent his knees to bend his body, "Princess." ”

Seeing this, Pei Huilan waved his hand, "You don't have to be so polite, I left in a hurry last time, and I forgot to say thank you to you." ”

"It's just a matter of effort." Song Xu said, "If the princess likes it, I will take you elsewhere next time." ”

"Okay!" Pei Huilan was very happy, took her hand and walked inside, "My brother takes me out to those places where I have been a long time ago, and it is very good to have you with me in the future." ”

"You only hear the newcomer laughing, and don't hear the old person crying, so you dislike your brother?"

The voice with a slight smile came, gentle and tactful, and it made people feel comfortable.

Song Suqing followed the prestige, and saw the queen holding the fan and walking out, the beads on the hairpin at the tips of the hair drooped with the pace, and the delicate peach blossom eyes contained a little smile, but the moment she met the eyes, the majesty between her eyes came to her face.

She pursed her lips and blessed her body respectfully, "The courtier Song Suqing pays a visit to the queen." ”

"The last time I saw you, you were only five years old, and in the blink of an eye, you will reach the age of success." Xu Jincheng raised her eyes and motioned to the person beside her to help her up, "If this palace is not mistaken, you are the next month's ceremony?" ”

"Yes." Song Xu cleared his chin, "On the fifteenth day of next month, my mother will be preparing for the New Year in person." ”

"Your mother is a daughter like you, and she wants to give you the best." Xu Jincheng walked to the shade of the tree and sat down, casually pointed to a position, glanced at Pei Huilan, who was very interested, and said with a smile: "If you want to go then, look for your imperial brother to take you out." ”

"The queen mother is the best." Pei Huilan hugged Song Suqing with a smile and whispered, "Remember to hand me the invitation." ”

Song Suqing nodded 'um'.

Xu Jincheng slowly shook the fan, looking at Song Suqing with the help of their words, in all fairness, it was indeed very beautiful and moving, there was no slightest softness in her gestures, but she exuded wisps of vitality, just like the rising sun in the morning, bright but not dazzling.

She put down the fan and took a sip of tea: "Not long ago, Huilan came back and mentioned you, saying that you know many girls' favorite shops. ”

Xu Jincheng's tone was indifferent, and he couldn't hear the meaning of her words.

Song Xuqing pursed her lips slightly, and nodded truthfully, "The courtiers are very active, and they don't walk around at home." ”

Xu Jincheng smiled when he heard this, "Before your mother came out of the cabinet, she was famous for her dignified and rigorous among us, and I never thought that after having you, I would not restrain you." ”

When Song Suqing heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but after hearing what she said in the next moment, her heart was lifted again.

She said, "Do you know my son?" ”

Song Suqing was silent for a moment, "Yes." ”

Pei Huilan saw her nervousness, and said coquettishly: "Queen Mother, why did you tell you all the little secrets I told you, and I won't tell you next time." ”

Hearing this, Xu Jincheng glanced at his daughter, and then at Song Suqing, who was slightly glaring, and smiled thoughtfully, "Then you look for your imperial brother to enter the palace, and the queen mother will ask him personally." ”

While speaking, Xu Jincheng gave a look to the palace maid who was waiting on the side, and the palace maid waved her hand and led the person who was waiting on the side down.

"He won't enter, and I can't move." Pei Huilan muttered.

Xu Jincheng heard Pei Huilan's words and smiled lightly.

Listening to the meaning of the two of them, Pei Muyao should have not entered the palace for a while, Song Suqing carefully recalled his previous life, as if he rarely saw him in the palace, and even the palace banquet rarely saw him coming.

The scene cooled down for a while, Song Suqing lifted his eyelids slightly, his eyes fell on the teacup, and a wisp of tea leaves floated on the water.

Just as she was fascinated, she suddenly heard Xu Jincheng ask with a little inquiry: "I heard that he also saved you?" ”

The author has something to say:

Tomorrow (Thursday) update time has been postponed to 18:00 pm.

Chapter 23: Exceeding the Rules

(Miss Song is out of reach?) )

After Xu Jincheng asked, his eyes did not move for a moment, staring at her quietly.

Song Suqing didn't expect the queen to know about it, so he didn't think much about it, and said: "Not long ago, the Yueyue Pavilion was on fire, and I was having dinner over there, and I happened to bump into His Highness. ”

Pei Huilan on one side heard about this for the first time, and there was a trace of surprise in his coquettish eyes, but the corners of his mouth were slightly open, but he didn't speak for a long time.

Let's just say that she didn't guess wrong, the imperial brother treats Song Suqing differently from others!

Xu Jincheng ignored her daughter's small eyes, and the corners of her gentle mouth slowly raised.

Not long ago, Pei Huilan returned to the palace, and two of the three sentences were related to Song Suqing, the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Xuanwu.

Thinking about it, Xu Jincheng sent someone to order Zechuan to enter the palace quickly, at first Zechuan was reluctant to say, it was a state of not knowing three questions, but when he re-entered the palace a few days ago, he didn't know why, and when he re-entered the palace, he actually mentioned this matter to her, and also took a few pastries from the palace, and people who don't like sweets suddenly so, especially abnormal.

But after thinking about it carefully, what else didn't I understand, Pei Muyao borrowed flowers to offer Buddha.

I haven't heard a reply for a long time, Song Xuqing's hand holding the teacup clenched slightly, and thought about Shicai's words, whether there was anything wrong.

Xu Jincheng took this scene into his eyes, smiled, and changed his words: "What good food can you eat in the Inviting Moon Pavilion recently?" ”

Song Suqing was slightly stunned, and didn't know why the topic had changed to this, so she glanced at the queen's expression and followed her words.

Until she walked out of Changning Palace with Pei Huilan, Song Suqing didn't understand what the queen called her into the palace this time.

After chatting for about an hour, the queen mother was tired and wanted to rest, so Pei Huilan took her around.

Pei Huilan saw the puzzlement in her heart, and patted her hand after leaving the Changning Palace and said comfortingly: "Don't think too much, the queen mother heard that you and the third brother knew each other, so she just wanted to meet you, and wanted to hear about him from you." ”

When he said this, Song Suqing suddenly felt that something was wrong, "But I only know the Third Highness and I don't know anything about him." ”

"Third brother treats you ......" Pei Huilan paused, his eyes rolled a few times, and said: "The third brother rarely returns to the palace, and the people around him have tight mouths, if the third brother doesn't talk about the queen mother, he can't know his current situation, so he can only listen to it from other people." ”

When Song Suqing heard this, she glanced back at the gate of Changning Palace, she only knew that Pei Muyao rarely returned to the palace, but she didn't know these things.

Later, the queen of the palace was ruthless, and the child sent him to Nanjian Temple to recuperate when he was young, and he had not met him a few times over the years, and it was normal for Pei Muyao to be reluctant to enter the palace.

However, when he accompanied the queen to meet the noble daughter in the previous life, Song Suqing could clearly feel the importance of the queen, and the noble girl he saw regardless of family background, knowledge or appearance, just wanted to choose someone he liked.

The last time he accompanied the queen to attend the palace banquet, Pei Muyao still did not come, and everyone who entered the palace with great interest returned in disappointment, and after sending off the nobles, Song Suqing also got up and left.

When she walked to the door, she heard the queen say to the palace maid: "Huayi, I have never regretted sending him out of the palace ......"

It seems that there are some words in the back, but Song Suqing did not hear it clearly.

"Brother Huang, why are you here?"

Pei Huilan's slightly raised voice recalled Song Suqing's thoughts, and subconsciously thought it was Pei Muyao, but when she raised her eyes and caught a glimpse of Pei Yichen's figure, the flowing blood coagulated in an instant, gradually becoming cold, freezing to make people's teeth tremble, and the hatred in the sky was like winter snow.

The sharp blade that pierced into her chest stirred, and a flash of red flashed in Song Suqing's eyes, which was the blood that overflowed from her chest, staining the snow white red, and making her numb in pain.

Song Suqing lowered his eyes slightly, trying his best to restrain his breathing, and his slender nails tightly clenched his palms, for fear that the hatred in the sky would turn into an impulse.

Pei Yichen's eyes swept over Song Suqing, but he withdrew his gaze in a moment, "I just came out of the palace of the imperial grandmother, and I was about to leave the palace, where are you going?" ”

Pei Huilan glanced at Song Xuqing, who hung his head slightly, a little puzzled but didn't say much, just said: "I came out of my mother's harem, thinking that it was a good day today, so I came out for a walk." ”

"I see." Pei Yichen nodded thoughtfully, his eyes turned to the side, "Presumably this is your new companion?" ”

The cold voice echoed in the ear, and Song Xuqing stabbed the palm with a heavy force, and vigorously suppressed the pain that almost overflowed.

Pei Huilan beside him said 'um', "It's the girl from the Xuanwu Hou family, called Song Suqing." ”

Song Suqing closed his eyes when he heard this, exhaled quietly, and when he opened his eyes again, the hatred in his eyes had already dissipated, "The courtier Song Suqing has seen the prince. ”

"Song Suqing." Pei Yichen repeated with a smile, "I've heard of it." ”

Song Suqing stiffened, and suddenly remembered that he had also matched his name with people when he was in Zhaoting Division, and a chill gradually spread in his heart.

She knows Pei Yichen too well, no matter who it is, ordinary people can't get into his eyes at all, unless he takes the initiative to understand.

At this time, she has not yet reached the end of time, and there is still a long time before the marriage decree is given, but Pei Yichen has already taken her into his eyes......

Pei Huilan also felt a little strange, and was slightly suspicious: "I haven't heard of it before, how did you know about it, brother Huang?" ”

Hearing this, Song Suqing stared at Pei Yichen with condensed eyes.

However, his expression did not change, and he only said: "I happen to be familiar with the second son of Song, and I have heard the second son mention it." ”
