Xu Jincheng's expression tightened when he heard this, and he suddenly remembered the two children he had lost.

The eldest son was poisoned and died violently because someone deliberately did not know, and it has not been possible to find out the truth, when she was immersed in her son's death, the eldest daughter fell into the water for no reason, and the final result was caused by the poor supervision of the people around her.

Xu Jincheng has only lived in the deep palace for a long time but is not stupid, knowing that this is the result of the struggle between the harem and the imperial power, she can only grit her teeth and eat this loss.

She took a deep breath and wiped away the sadness in her eyes, "Did your imperial brother say something?" ”

"Not really." Pei Muyao turned the wrench on his knuckles and said, "If there is no accident, it should be him who goes to read the holy decree." ”

Xu Jincheng knew what the emperor meant as soon as he heard it, and smiled: "The emperor is giving your imperial brother authority." ”

Pei Muyao's eyes were shining, and he said 'um' coldly.

Whether it is to create a brother, friend and brother to be respectful, or to make him understand the difference between the two, the emperor is using this matter to warn and beat him, telling him that it is Pei Yichen who will ascend the throne in the future, and he must understand the deep meaning.

Speaking of this topic, the Changning Palace became silent for a moment.

Xu Jincheng's slightly meaningful eyes turned, and he said, "Flowers, eat." ”

"Yes." Huayi, who was waiting at the door to isolate others from entering, lifted the bead curtain and motioned for other palace maids to enter and prepare.

Xu Jincheng said again: "You send someone to Nanhuayuan to call Lan'er and Miss Song back to have dinner together." ”

"The slave maid is going to call the princess, it's just ......" Huayi glanced at Pei Muyao's back with side eyes, and said in an extremely low voice: "Miss Song has already left the palace." ”

"Out of the palace?" Xu Jincheng was stunned for a moment, saw the color of the flower's eyes, and suddenly understood, and looked at Pei Muyao with a smile, "You saw Miss Song and sent people out of the palace?" ”

Pei Muyao nodded, and did not hide it: "I met in Nanhuayuan before I came." ”

Hearing this, Xu Jincheng's eyes lit up, looked at him thoughtfully, and said: "You are not young, and you are also at the age of choosing a concubine, if you meet someone you like, come and tell me that the queen mother will not do anything to beat the mandarin duck." ”

Pei Muyao: "......"

His eyelids lifted, and his thin lips opened slightly: "No." ”

These two emotionless words made Xu Jincheng speechless, and the words of joy were on his lips and swallowed back, and he said: "Don't talk about others, even Zicheng, who is the same year as you, has already married the side concubine, and the side concubine will be pregnant after only half a year, just wait for the day when the melon is ripe, and Concubine Hui will show off this matter with me every day." ”

When talking about the word 'show off', Xu Jincheng paused, "And you don't say it's a side concubine, you don't even have a lovely person, you are embarrassed to say that there is no two words, but you want to anger me?" ”

The more she spoke, the more excited she became, Pei Muyao handed over the tea in a timely manner, and said, "Your crime is too serious, and my son can't afford it." ”

"If you really can't afford it, you won't be so angry with me." Xu Jincheng took a sip of tea and took a smooth breath, pressed down the stuffiness in his chest, and persuaded Haosheng: "Which girl is good, is it feasible to bring one to your mother's palm?" ”

Hearing this, Pei Muyao coughed lightly, and said unhurriedly: "My son grew up in Nanjian Temple since he was a child, and he has no interest in women. ”

Xu Jincheng: "......"

She laughed out loud angrily, pointed at Pei Muyao with her fingertips, and couldn't say a word for a long time.

When Pei Huilan trotted in, he heard this, his jumping steps stopped, and he was about to retort, when he suddenly looked at the emperor's brother sideways, and the smile in his eyes disappeared in an instant, as if he knew that she would tell the whole story of Nanhuayuan, and there were wisps of threat.

Seeing this, Pei Huilan stopped his mouth and sat down to eat silently.

Pei Muyao didn't enter the palace for a long time, and after dinner, Xu Jincheng also pulled him to talk about things for a while, and then went to the palace of the emperor's grandmother, and when the sun was about to set, he found a reason to leave the palace.

Just stepped out of the palace gate, and saw a back standing not far away.

The afterglow of the sunset fell obliquely on her body, and she didn't know what to say to the maid beside her, and there was always a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

Pei Muyao's eyes were a little lighter, and a scene that had not been in his mind an hour ago flashed, it was a mighty happy event, in front of the Chengtian Palace, hundreds of officials kowtowed, and the newcomers visited the heaven and earth, ancestors, the emperor and the concubines of the palace.

His imperial brother Pei Yichen greeted the beautiful woman with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and standing beside him was Song Suqing, who was slightly nervous but not at all stage frightened, just like the figure he saw behind the rockery, overlapping together.

The dream can be said to be metaphysics, and the fireworks that broke into his eyes that night can be said to be in a trance, but combined with the overlapping figures today, Pei Muyao can't tell whether this is an illusion or something that really happened.

So he walked out the next moment and bumped into Pei Yichen with his words.

Pei Muyao didn't fail to see his thoughtful expression when he left, and knew that his impulse would definitely make waves in Pei Yichen's heart today, but he couldn't care so much.

Big wedding, fireworks at the palace banquet, East Palace.

Pile by pile is waking him up, it is not metaphysics, nor trance, but foresight of dreams.

Or rather, that's what he's been through......

Song Suqing is backed by the Xuanwu Marquis Mansion, and she is the concubine of the Hou Mansion, regardless of family background or background, she is already among the candidates for the crown princess.

As for his imperial brother, I am afraid that he had already set his sights on the Xuanwu Marquis Mansion without his knowledge, and the target fell firmly on Song Suqing, who was favored by the Hou Mansion.

The unfavored Houfu girl is useless to Pei Yichen, but Song Suqing is different.

"Miss Song, the master has come out."

When Song Suqing heard Qi An's words, she turned her head to look in the direction of the palace gate, and sure enough, she saw Pei Muyao's figure, but she didn't wait for her to speak, and met his deep eyes.

After Qi An told her, he walked towards the location of his master.

He didn't slow down his footsteps, but when he walked to his master's side, he didn't seem to notice his arrival.

Qi An glanced at Song Suqing, who was still waiting in place, and coughed, "Master, Miss Song has been waiting for you here for a long time." ”

The sudden sound made Pei Muyao come back to his senses, he glanced at peace, and then looked at Song Suqing, who was nearly ten feet away from him, and asked in a deep voice: "How long?" ”

Qi An immediately lowered his head and listened to the fall, "Miss Song has been waiting here since she came out of the palace. ”

It was about three hours, and Pei Muyao's eyes changed, "Go down and get the board yourself." ”

"Don't do his business." Song Suqing's expression changed when he heard this, and explained: "I stopped him from sending someone in." ”

At noon, Song Xu was about to return to the Hou Mansion after clearing the Lingjia Gate, but when he passed through the street guarded by only guards, he happened to see Qi An waiting at the post station.

Song Suqing is not a person who will take for granted the kindness of others, if it weren't for Pei Muyao's timely appearance, she really didn't know how to deal with Pei Yichen.

This is the second time, and she clearly feels that Pei Yichen has been paying attention to her for a long time.

After thinking for a moment, she got out of the carriage.

Qi An didn't expect to meet her here, and replied a few words along with her words, but he didn't think that she would finally say that she would wait for the master here, he suddenly felt bad, and when he wanted to send someone into the palace to deliver the news, he was stopped by Song Suqing.

In the end, it was time to wait.

Pei Muyao lowered his eyes on her, stared at her, and vowed to see her thoroughly.

A trace of a frightening chill flashed in his obscure eyes, but Song Suqing could feel that it was not for him, and said after a moment's silence: "Today's events, I want to thank you in person." ”

"Huh?" The chill in Pei Muyao's eyes gradually subsided, and he asked with interest: "Then how are you prepared?" ”

"I don't know what you like." Song Suqing paused, glanced at Qi'an, and said, "I heard that you like to eat lighter, so I thought of inviting you to Jingmingxuan to eat, what do you think?" ”

Pei Muyao looked at her thoughtfully, and muttered, "Just to thank me for helping in Nanhuayuan today?" ”

Song Suqing nodded, this favor is already owed, she must make something to show it.

Pei Muyao laughed, "Then listen to what you mean and go to Mingxuan." ”

Mingming Xuan is located on the other side of Ningjiang Lake, not in Chang'an Street, and Chang'an Street is full of people different from the restaurant, Mingming Xuan is very quiet, only two tables of guests a day, one table at noon, one table at sunset.

Song Xu ordered the little servant to go to book in the name of the Xuanwu Marquis Mansion, and then the sunset table was set.

If you want to go to Mingxuan, in addition to taking the avenue and crossing the bridge, you can also take a boat and walk the waterway, but it is slower, at this time it has sunset, Song Suqing doesn't want to rub it off, so he will take a carriage in total, and Pei Muyao is riding a horse over.

About a quarter of an hour later, the two of them arrived at the Screaming Pavilion.

The person in charge of Mingxuan had already been waiting at the door, and when Song Suqing arrived at the main gate, he saw the person in charge following behind Pei Muyao.

Song Suqing got out of the carriage and led the maid into the car with him.

The maids and guards were guarding the door, Song Suqing glanced at Pei Muyao, and saw that he was familiar with the door, he should have been here many times.

Pei Muyao glanced at her thoughtful eyes and said, "Are you about to say something polite." ”

Song Xuqing, who was really thinking about polite words, was speechless after being exposed.

Pei Muyao took the tea-making tool and ironed the cup quite skillfully, "As you said, I did inquire about you, and you seem to be a little restrained." ”

Song Xuqing was dumbfounded, thought for a moment, pursed his lips and said: "After falling into the water, I figured out a lot of things, if I continue to go down like before, I don't know how I will die one day." ”

Just like in the previous life, he was stabbed into the heart by Pei Yichen with a sharp sword for no reason, and died before he could feel the pain.

Pei Muyao's eyebrows frowned slightly, "The daughter of the Marquis of Xuanwu is also the only daughter, who dares to kill you." ”

Song Suqing was silent for a moment and smiled: "Some people can kill me." ”

She treated it indifferently, it seemed that she was just saying it casually, but Pei Muyao's heart seemed to be pulled by someone and hurt.

The pain made his frowning brow furrow.

Seeing this, Song Suqing's hand on the table stiffened, and he didn't know why he was suddenly like this.

"I'm fine, I don't need to call anyone."

Pei Muyao intercepted the words she was about to say, took the warm water she hurriedly handed over and took a sip.

The warm water gradually brushed away the pain in his heart, he took a deep breath, and somehow, he suddenly remembered that not long ago in Nanjian Temple, Song Suqing followed his words and looked at the long sword.

Song Suqing looked at him at a loss, "Are you okay?" Why don't we go back? ”

"It's fine." Pei Muyao's eyebrows relaxed, and then she asked in a suitable tone: "Who." ”

Song Suqing understood the unclear word, she slowly leaned back, leaned on the cushioned backrest, and was silent.

knows that Pei Muyao and Pei Yichen are not grasshoppers on a rope, but this 'slander' cannot be said at will, if it is listened to by someone with a heart, it will immediately lead to death.

Fortunately, Pei Muyao didn't seem to be the kind of person who got to the bottom of it, and it seemed that seeing that she didn't want to say more, he said outside: "Let's serve the food." ”

Song Suqing breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and silently ate the dishes that the painting screen had laid for her.

Her taste is not quite the same as Pei Muyao's, and the taste of Jingmingxuan is indeed a little lighter for her, but she put down the bamboo chopsticks after using it a little.

Pei Muyao glanced at her lightly, and saw that she didn't use much, so he understood after thinking about it, "Don't like it?" ”

Song Suqing wiped the corners of his mouth and paused slightly, and handed the handkerchief to the painting screen, "It can be used." ”

It works, it's just that I don't like it.

Pei Muyao smiled, put down the bamboo chopstick, got up and said, "There's no need to force yourself, I'll take you to other places to use some." ”

said that he couldn't refuse, turned around and walked out, and Song Suqing could only follow.

Bu Cai's picture screen and Qi An glanced at each other, and hurriedly followed the pace of the two.

Song Suqing originally thought that Pei Muyao was going to take her to another restaurant, but he never thought that he would take her through the narrow alley to the neighborhood not far away.

This street is not far from Screaming Mansion, but the environment is still different.

The silence of the Screaming Pavilion was only the rustle of the wind through the branches, but the sound of the wind could not be heard here, but the cries of the vendors and the cheers of the people who came from nowhere.
