Then a group of people followed him to the door, Song Suqing walked at the end, and before he got out of the courtyard to pick peaches, he returned to his side and nodded to her.

Song Suqing raised her eyebrows with a happy expression, and couldn't wait to see what kind of expression Pei Yichen would have when he saw the crowd at the door.

Thinking like this, the pace under his feet was a little faster, and he walked to his mother's side.

Before they reached the main entrance, everyone heard the noise floating in the air, Pei Yichen twisted his eyebrows, glanced at Pingyang quietly, but his steps did not stop.

After turning a corner, the front of the Hou Mansion was full of people, mostly probing their brains to discuss, and in front of them there were many shadow fences formed by guards holding hands, blocking the excited people from coming forward.

The sharp-eyed people saw a few people coming out, pointed to Pei Yichen at the front, and said loudly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come out, His Royal Highness the Prince has come out!" ”

The people who were still discussing wantonly stopped their mouths when they heard this, and after a while, the people who were standing at the front and watching knelt down, and the people behind them also hurriedly knelt down and grabbed the ground with their heads, shouting for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Chitose.

Song Yi and Xu glanced at each other, both of them saw confusion in each other's eyes, and he called Yang Ye, "What's going on?" ”

Yang Ye lowered his head and glanced at the people outside, and said: "I don't know who spread the news that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in the palace, the number of onlookers has gradually increased, and his subordinates have sent additional people to stop them, otherwise I am afraid that they will collide with His Highness." ”

Song Suqing, who was one step behind, tilted his head slightly, and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw countless figures, he didn't expect Ming Yue to be able to summon such a huge crowd in such a short time.

She pretended to be surprised and opened the corners of her lips slightly, but the afterglow swept towards Pei Yichen, his tightly twisted eyebrows were a little impatient, but the corners of his mouth were always upturned.

Song Suqing was especially familiar with his look, and he could only endure it after being deflated.

Pei Yichen clenched his fists, took a deep breath in his heart and then slowly spit it out, and smiled at Song Yi: "Master Hou stayed, and left alone." ”

Faced with the situation outside, Song Yi was still a little puzzled, but when he heard Pei Yichen say this, he didn't bother too much, and hung his head and gave up.

Facing the black head, Pei Yichen's eyes were slightly sunken, and he glanced at Song Huai'an sideways before getting on the horse and leaving, and then clamped the horse's belly and left quickly.

The author has something to say:

I'll double change when I'm done with this time!

Chapter 41: The Spies

(I don't sell women for glory)

Song Suqing took the two of them into her eyes, and saw that Song Huai'an's tense expression became ugly, and her mood was a little happier.

After sending Pei Yichen away, the people surrounding the Hou Mansion gradually dispersed, and Song Huai'an also stayed for a short time, finding an excuse to leave in a hurry.

The noisy main gate of the Hou Mansion slowly returned to its original tranquility, but Xuanwu Hou Song Yi was still standing in place, looking thoughtfully at the flow of people at the end of the long street, with a touch of majesty and unquestionable.

His expression was slightly awe-inspiring, and he glanced at Yang Ye as if he was nothing, and then followed his squinted eyes to look at his daughter who was chatting with the maid.

Receiving Song Yi's eyes, Song Xuqing's eyes were slightly stunned, and after hesitating for a while, he discussed with Cai Tao about the beautiful music that has prevailed in Tianyin Pavilion recently, but the afterglow always fell on his father.

Song Yi was silent and walked into the Hou Mansion with his hands behind his back, and when he passed by his daughter's side, he said, "You come with me." ”

The sharp and cold voice startled the peach, and the hand holding the young lady couldn't help but clench a little.

The dull strength made Song Suqing frown, looked at his father's heavy back, lowered the smile on the corner of his mouth and gently patted the hand of the peach, "Don't be nervous, it's okay."

It was also the first time that Xu saw her husband treat her daughter in such a cold tone, and she followed with a frown.

Song Xu Qingsong's hand in the peach mining motioned for Ming Yue to follow, and his expression naturally walked through the cobblestone path, crossed the screen and walked through the corridor into the study.

Yang Ye, who was guarding the door of the study, arched his hand, stepped forward to push the door open for her, Song Xu thanked her head and said to Ming Yue: "You wait for me here for a while." ”

Yang Ye saw Ming Yue for the first time, and there was a little more scrutiny in his quiet eyes.

Song Suqing lifted the skirt and walked up the stairs, and did not forget to close the door after entering the study.

"You kneel for me!"

The moment the door was closed, his serious and cold voice was like a black cloud pressing down on the city, and he rushed towards Song Suqing unscrupulously, which also made Xu shiver all over.

Song Xuqing's hand holding the doorknob tightened, his eyes closed slightly and then turned around, and when he was about to kneel, an inky black thing suddenly flew to his feet.

When I looked at it, it was a futon.

Song Yi covered his mouth and coughed, "Kneel." ”

Song Suqing knelt on the futon obediently, she hung her head, her long eyelashes covered the look under her eyes, she couldn't see what she was thinking, but her eyelashes trembled, which made people feel distressed.

The air flowing in the study stopped at this moment, and the dreary atmosphere was breathless.

Xu's eyes flickered, fixed on the well-behaved daughter, "Master, what are you doing." ”

On weekdays, the Xu family uses the husband to call the Marquis of Xuanwu, and only when he is extremely unhappy will he call him the master, and the tone is also polite.

Song Yi snorted coldly and said, "I still want to ask my good daughter, are you ready to turn the sky upside down?" Dare to touch the scales of His Royal Highness the Prince, if he knows that it is your means, even if your grandmother comes forward with your grandfather's tablet, he will not be able to protect you! ”

As early as when he ordered the two maids to do these things, Song Suqing had thought that this would never be hidden from his father, but he still did it, he thought that he was not an immortal, if the Hou Mansion was the only one who contributed, could he really resist Pei Yichen's careful thoughts?

Song Suqing pondered for a long time, and when the Xu family was about to speak out again, she straightened her back and lifted her eyelids, looked up at the past, and said word by word: "My daughter knows, but I just want him to put me on the opposite side of him, what's wrong!" ”

"His thoughts are so clear that his daughter can see it, Dad, do you still want to hide it from me?"

These dark and bright eyes were like a question, Song Yi's hand holding the teacup paused for a moment, thinking of the meaning of the prince here, the corners of his mouth sank.

He looked at his daughter steadily, and slowly realized that the little girl who was lying on his lap had grown up and learned to read the minds of others, and for a moment he didn't know whether it was good or bad.

As a father, Song Yi naturally hopes that she can spend her days carefree, instead of speculating on other people's thoughts.

Song Yi's expression softened a little: "When did you know." ”

"Very early." Song Suqing breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, with a faint smile with a hint of imperceptible disdain, "If I hadn't guessed wrong, he would have allowed me to be the concubine, but for the sake of me, but for my identity and my family background, my daughter didn't want to." ”

Hearing this, Xu Shi understood, "What you said, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to marry Qing'er as his wife!?" ”

Song Yi frowned, "He has this idea." ”

"No." Xu Shi said without hesitation, and stood up and walked to his daughter's side, waved Song Yi's outstretched hand and slowly knelt down, "Don't mention that Gu Changfeng's sister is the person His Royal Highness hangs on the tip of his heart, just talking about the concubines in the East Palace, if Qing'er really enters the East Palace, how will she live in the future?" ”

After a pause, he said, "I don't sell women for glory." ”

"I have the same idea as you." Song Yi sighed, stretched out his hand to help his wife and daughter, "As long as His Highness has not brought this matter to the Holy Lord, there is still room for maneuver." ”

In his previous life, when his father learned that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had this intention, he also said exactly the same thing, but what they didn't expect was that Pei Yichen acted very quickly, and entered the palace when there were some rumors in Beijing, and asked to marry the concubine on the grounds that the Queen Mother was seriously ill.

At the same time, Concubine Roujia, who was in the deep palace, told the emperor the rumors in the neighborhood of Beijing in the name of jokes on the grounds of looking for a book.

In just five days, the marriage decree was sent to the Hou Mansion.

Thinking of this, Song Suqing bit her lip, and pulled her thoughts back with a little pain, "Today's events, the Holy Lord will know." ”

Song Yi said 'um', and his face sank like water: "You have done a good job, the Holy Lord does not like to work hard and move the crowd the most, so the prince acts especially low-key on weekdays, if the news of his coming to the Hou Mansion today reaches the ears of the Holy Lord, it will be different." ”

"I'll leave this to me." Song Xuqing's fingertips rubbed the brocade draped on the tea table, and her slender nails hooked a strand of silk thread.

Song Yi frowned and did not agree with her words.

Song Suqing unhurriedly untied the gold wire wrapped around his nails, and said, "Dad, don't worry about it, I have a way to poke this matter to the saint." ”

After finishing speaking, she bent her knees, and when she was about to leave, she remembered one more thing, stopped her steps and turned around, and said casually to Xu: "I went out today and met a maid who sold herself into slavery, and I took her with me when I saw that she was quite smart." ”

Xu Shi thought about things in his heart, and when he heard this coldly, he was stunned for a moment before nodding, "Later, Mama Zhang will take her to handle naturalization." ”

Song Suqing smiled, opened the door and walked out.

After the door closed, Xu and Song Yi looked at each other deeply.

Today's words and deeds of Song Suqing, neither of them thought of it, or never thought of it.

After waking up from the water, it seems to be a different person, lively but also lively, but the smile in the eyes seems to be a little lighter than before, as long as she has time, she will run out, now as long as she has free time, she reads and learns to dance, and is full of arrangements all the time.

Xu's eyes were full of distress, "I used to say that I wanted her to grow up quickly and be more mature so as not to be bullied, but now I can't bear to see the worry between her eyebrows." ”

Song Yi grabbed her shoulder and patted her gently soothingly, "Don't worry too much, I'm still here." ”

Song Yi naturally would not agree to what Song Suqing said about stabbing the emperor by her method, although he had long since stopped asking about the affairs of the court, but if he wanted to intervene, he was not completely powerless, but it was just to spread the news, and it was not a troublesome thing.

After Song Xu cleared out of the study, she met a lot of maids cleaning the courtyard along the way, she stopped what she wanted to say, and led Ming Yue back to the Nuan Yu Pavilion.

The maids who were waiting in the Warm Jade Pavilion were also cleaning the courtyard, and when they saw her coming back, they all bent over, and the picture screen that was inspected in the pavilion came with broken steps after hearing the sound.

When he saw the unfamiliar face standing beside his young lady, he blinked and looked her up and down.

Song Su swept around and didn't see the figure of peach picking, and asked, "What about peach picking?" ”

The painting screen held back the measured eyes: "The young master of the shop's fleet docked in the port today, and the peach picker rushed there non-stop after learning the news." ”

Song Xu nodded clearly, glanced at Ming Yue, and said, "You come with me." ”

Ming Yue bowed her head, blessed the picture screen, and followed Song Suqing into the bedroom.

After the maid, who seemed to be cleaning but was actually paying attention here, couldn't see the figure of the young lady, she hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Sister Painting, who is the person that the girl brought back?" ”

The painting screen glanced at her, "Can you inquire about the matter of Miss?" Hurry up and do your job, you will be punished if you don't finish it before sunset. ”

After entering the bedroom, Song Xuqing's stiff back gradually loosened, leaning on the cushion to take the cup handed by Ming Yue, when the cup was handed to her mouth, she paused, and lifted her thin eyelids: "Why did you find so many people so quickly today?" ”

Ming Yue handed over a lychee that had half of its coat faded, "This is close to Wan Tingxuan, my subordinates casually found a child and gave him some benefits, let him go and help deliver a message to the past, there are our people in Wanting Xuan, and many people got up and rushed over as soon as they dispersed." ”

Song Suqing took a bite of the lychee, the rich and sweet juice exploded in his mouth, and repeated thoughtfully: "Wan Tingxuan has our people? ”

Ming Yue replied, "Yes." ”

According to Song Suqing's knowledge, Wan Tingxuan is not the property of the official family, if I remember correctly, it was opened by a man who went north to do business, all the decorations in Wanting Xuan are the appearance that his wife loves, the man did not take a concubine, and his wife is also in love, and it is such a good story of the fairy couple, which makes Wan Tingxuan have an excellent reputation among women in Beijing.

Ming Yue conjured up the plate out of nowhere, peeled the lychees and put them in the pale pink petal-shaped dishes, and whispered: "The master of Wan Tingxuan is good at business, and he has a good relationship with the children of all the families in Beijing. ”

"Don't say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has someone there, even the six princes who still live in the prince's house, I'm afraid there are also people there."

The sixth prince was born by Concubine Roujia, if she is not mistaken, he should be a real prince supporter.

Ming Yue saw her doubts and explained: "If the people in the palace want to know the news outside the palace as soon as possible, they must send spies outside. ”

Song Suqing nodded suddenly and continued to listen to her, listening to her for a while, and after she stopped speaking, she exclaimed: "You know so much." ”

Ming Yue smiled, took out a handkerchief and wiped her hands, "The slave maid is from a secret probe, so she naturally knows this." ”

Song Suqing's eyebrows raised, no wonder she used the word subordinate more when she claimed to be a subordinate, but she still changed her words when she came to the Hou Mansion, "You came to me, you are talented." ”

The girl laughed. Ming Yue shook her head and said.

I thought that the maid sent by Pei Muyao was used to protect her safety, but when she heard Ming Yue say this, Song Suqing knew that she not only wanted to protect her safety, but also could pass on a lot of news for her to have thoughts before and after when making decisions.

His thoughts and plans are far deeper than what she thinks, not to mention that he has entered his camp at this moment, if he can really negotiate with him to plan marriage, he must be able to do it, but Song Suqing also thinks about it, marriage is a big deal, how can it be used for child's play.

Even if Pei Muyao is really willing, if he met the woman he likes before Pei Yichen loses power, he must want to marry the woman he likes, what will he be like when he occupies this position, even if the woman understands and is willing to wait for them to leave before entering the palace, it is not the original match in the eyes of the world, it is too inappropriate.
