"Master Hou doesn't need to worry." Chen Shen has been in contact with him many times, and he will not deceive him, "The emperor just wants to meet the girl." ”

When Song Yi heard him say this, he was also a little relieved at the moment, shook his wife's palm, and followed the carriage to the court.

The carriage rattled and rattled, and Song Suqing pursed his lips and sat inside, remembering the few meetings he had with the emperor in his previous life, and his eyebrows frowned.

This time, it was Chen Shen who took Song Suqing into the palace, and it was not the Lingjiamen that usually entered the palace, but the Zhangwu Gate, which was closer to the Chengtian Palace.

At this time, it was the time of the last dynasty, Song Suqing was waiting in the side courtyard of Chengtian Palace, Chen Shen was afraid that she would be bored, and found a palace maid of the same age as her to talk to her.

Her thoughts were heavy, and she really couldn't lift her spirits, but this palace maid should have just entered the palace not long ago, and she had not experienced the tempering of the deep palace, so lively that she couldn't speak, as long as she gave a little response, this little palace maid could continue to speak.

I don't know how long it has been, but there was a sound outside the side hall, and it was the emperor's return.

Chen Shen followed behind the emperor, glanced at the inside of the road when he passed by the side hall, and looked at Song Suqing's probe back and forth, and said, "Your Majesty, Miss Song is already waiting in the side hall." ”

The emperor said 'um' to indicate that he knew, but did not call Song Suqing into the palace.

The sound of the palace courtyard dissipated, but it was only a cup of tea, and there was another sound of footsteps, and then Song Suqing heard Chen Shen call several ministers to enter the inner saint.

After the minister entered the inner saint, he did not come out for a long time.

Song Suqing, who was waiting in the side hall, gradually unloaded her guard, and listened to the palace maid tell the bizarre anecdotes she encountered in her hometown of Shanzhou.

It wasn't until the sun was high that Chen Shen hurriedly came over and said, "Miss Song, the emperor is waiting for you." ”

Song Xu, who was fascinated by the listening, pulled her heart to the highest place, and she exhaled secretly: "Please let my father-in-law lead the way." ”

The distance between the main hall and the side hall of Chengtian Palace was nearly 100 meters, but Song Xuqing, who walked past with Chen Shen, felt that the road was very short, as if he had arrived at the door of the main hall in the blink of an eye.

Looking at the door that had been pushed open, when Chen Shen passed the message, she closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, the restlessness in her eyes gradually dissipated.

Song Suqing hung his head and entered, with the light of his eyes like a torch above his head, and saluted neatly and generously: "Courtier Song Suqing, see the emperor." ”

The Chengtian Palace was silent.

The emperor leaned on the cushion, his fingertips thoughtfully tapped the imperial case, his eyes fell on her heavily, and now he found that the lower half of Song Suqing's face was particularly similar to her father, as if a mold was extended.

However, unlike Song Yi's current sharp and unapproachable appearance, Song Suqing's lower half of his face is slightly softer, more like Song Yi when he was young.

"Chen Shen, give me a seat."

Song Suqing breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "The courtiers thank the emperor for his grace." ”

Chen Shen and the others were already waiting outside with chairs, just waiting for the emperor to speak, and they were busy directing two or three little eunuchs to move the chairs in.

Song Xu bowed his head and thanked a few people before sitting down.

The emperor remembered the list handed to him not long ago, and the book was that the Marquis of Xuanwu was particularly fond of this woman, not to mention scolding, and he was reluctant to say a word for so many years.

I thought she would raise a delicate and noble girl, and she only felt generous from a distance at the palace banquet, but now she is facing the saint alone, except for a little nervousness, there is nothing wrong with it.

He bowed his head and asked in a deep voice, "What do you think of my two sons?" ”

Song Suqing's heart sank, she raised her eyes, fell into the emperor's majestic eyes, lowered her eyes and said: "The courtiers are frightened, and they dare not talk about the prince in vain." ”

The emperor stretched out his hand to take the wolf's hair from the shelf, opened the book, and said unhurriedly: "I asked, and if you answer truthfully, you will not be punished for your crimes." ”

Song Suqing was dumbfounded.

In the words, she asked her to answer truthfully, but she couldn't really tell the truth, but just followed the impression of the world, and briefly said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is talented and talented, and His Royal Highness King Rui is both talented and martial, all of them are dragons and phoenixes among people." ”

Hearing this, the emperor raised his head slightly and glanced at her, then fell on the paper, and said "um" slowly, which was regarded as responding to her answer, and then did not speak for a long time.

In the main hall, only the rustle of wolves waving and landing on the books remained, and if you listened carefully, Song Suqing could still hear the sound of her light breathing.

I don't know how long it took, so long that the string in Song Xuqing's mind was pulled to the extreme, if someone was playing it at this time, I was afraid that it would be directly stretched.

At this time, a thin voice sounded.

"Both of my sons came to me, and they begged me to marry you, and I wanted to know who you preferred."

Song Suqing didn't have time to think about it, the hands on her knees suddenly tightened, the gauze on her knees was dragged in her hands, her heart beat like a drum, and she almost jumped out of her throat.

She got up and bent her knees: "The courtiers don't dare." ”

The Emperor raised his head, his piercing eyes swept straight towards her, his gaze with a touch of majesty and unquestionability.

The burning light in front of Pei Yichen flashed in front of his eyes, and after a long time, he withdrew his eyes and called Chen Shen, "Send her out of the palace." ”

Chen Shen rushed in, glanced at Song Suqing, who was not moving, and belched, "Miss Song, please come here." ”

Rao is like this, Song Suqing did not forget to thank him for his blessing before he left with Chen Shen, and when he was about to walk out of the main palace gate, the emperor's voice came after him.

"Don't go to the national prison in the future."

Song Xuqing's eyes were stunned, and his voice trembled a little when he responded.

Stepping out of the threshold of the main hall, her knees softened a little, her figure suddenly loosened, and her tense heart suddenly relaxed.

The sun was shining outside, and the cold on her body gradually faded, and she raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and exhaled deeply.

The words that the emperor said floated in his thoughts, Song Xuqing pursed his lips, listening to the emperor's meaning, Pei Muyao also entered the palace, when?

Glancing at Chen Shen, who was walking in front, the corners of her mouth opened, thinking for a moment, but in the end she didn't ask, thinking about going to the palace.

Now listening to the emperor's meaning, it seems that he is still thinking about it, and he has not yet decided what to do, and calling her into the palace today seems to have no other meaning except for a little temptation.

Song Suqing walked out of Lingjiamen and stepped out of the square sky of the palace, and the air outside the palace was much more comfortable.

When Yu Guang saw Pei Huilan standing with Mingyue, her gestures were a little chaotic between her words, she should be in the Guozijian at this moment, why is she here?

Song Suqing walked over with a little confusion.

Ming Yue, who was facing the palace gate, saw her and said to Pei Huilan.

Pei Huilan turned around suddenly, his anxious expression was relieved when he saw her, he walked over quickly with his skirt, took her hand and measured it up and down: "I heard that my father called you to enter the palace when I arrived at Shangshutang, hurry up and come, are you okay?" ”

Song Suqing's heart warmed, and he smiled: "I'm fine, the emperor just asked a few questions." ”

Pei Huilan instantly understood when he heard this, "But your marriage?" ”

Song Suqing took her hand and walked to the shade of the tree, "You also heard?" ”

"Hmm." Pei Huilan bowed his head, looked at the worry in her eyes, and said: "Everyone in the palace knows about it, but no one dares to say it clearly." After a moment of silence, he lowered his tone, "The imperial brother entered the palace the day after the Dragon Boat Festival banquet, and I heard that the imperial brother was sincere and full of admiration, but for some reason, my father did not say a word, but just listened silently. ”

"But the royal brother obviously has someone he likes, why do he still ask to marry you, and I haven't heard that they are separated, after I thought about it, I felt that something was wrong, isn't this going to pull you into the fire pit!"

Pei Huilan's words were fierce, and her indignant appearance was particularly cute, she raised her hand and continued: "Fortunately, the third brother proposed this intention with his father first, otherwise it would ......"

As she spoke, her voice stopped for a moment.

Song Suqing listened to her last words, and her expression was indistinguishable: "Propose it to the emperor first?" ”

Pei Yichen entered the palace early the morning of the next day of the Dragon Boat Festival palace banquet, if so, Pei Muyao proposed it to the emperor on the night of the palace banquet?

"......" Pei Huilan covered his mouth with his hands, shook his head with his eyes, and said like a thief: "I haven't said anything, and you haven't heard anything." ”

"Your Highness." Song Suqing called, looking serious: "I heard it." ”

Pei Huilan let go of his hand, pursed his lips, and said truthfully: "I'm afraid that you have been wronged, yesterday I went to the queen mother to ask the royal brother what he thought, the queen mother did not elaborate, but she told me not to worry too much, things may still have a turnaround." ”

"As soon as I heard this, I felt that there was a lot of article in it, and I asked again and again, only to know that it turned out that not long after the palace banquet ended, the third brother went to find his father, so you can rest assured, if nothing else, my father will definitely worry about the third brother's thoughts."

"The two brothers are looking for him at the same time, and according to what I know about my father, he should eventually choose to suppress this matter, and he will not go along with either party's thoughts, and he will not mention it again in the future."

"As for why he summoned you today." Pei Huilan pondered, and what he said now was not as good as just now, with a little uncertainty: "Maybe it's because he wants to see who the girl that the two brothers are asking to marry is sacred." ”

Song Xuqing pursed her lips and shook her head slowly, saying that something was wrong, and she didn't think that the emperor would suppress this matter.

"The emperor asked me not to go to the national prison in the future."

Pei Huilan: "......"

She blinked her eyes, her eyes locked on Song Suqing in a daze, her eyes were facing each other, and she turned around and hurriedly said, "Let's go, let's go to the palace to find the third brother." ”

Mingyue, who was listening on the side, changed slightly, and subconsciously raised her hand to stop the two, and with their puzzled expressions, she said stubbornly: "The news from Qi'an yesterday said that the prince was not in Beijing recently. ”

The words full of loopholes caused Song Suqing's eyes to darken, and a trace of ungraspable aura flashed in his thoughts, and he didn't tear her down, but said, "It's okay, let's go over and walk around." ”

Ming Yue heard the meaning of her words and silently withdrew her hand.

The palace was not far from the palace, but about half an hour away, when the carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, the guards guarding on both sides recognized it as the carriage of the Hou Mansion, and their expressions froze.

The group looked at each other a few times, and the innermost guard quietly slipped into the mansion.

When Song Suqing and Pei Huilan got out of the carriage, Qi An had already hurried out, half-knelt down and arched his hand: "Your Royal Highness Princess, Miss Song." ”

The guards guarding the palace not far away should be guarding the gate of the palace without squinting, but at this moment, they even occasionally look sideways, Song Xuqing's eyes were slightly dark, and the young guard closest to her was tense and stood upright.

Even if Pei Huilan is a stupid person, there is something wrong with it, when she came to the Hou Mansion recently, she was also led in by others, Qi'an and Zechuan, they should be behind the third brother.

She looked past him, looked behind her for a while and didn't see the second person, and frowned: "Why did you come out on your own, third brother." ”

Qi An: "The prince and the prince are talking about business in the study. ”

Pei Huilan was skeptical, "Really? ”

Qi An nodded.

The corners of Song Xuqing's mouth opened slightly, and when he was about to say that he had something important to see Pei Muyao, he caught a glimpse of Chen Shen leading a team of men and horses to gallop over, and when he turned over and dismounted, he held the golden holy decree in his hand.

The author has something to say:

Chapter 50: Marriage

(Song Suqing, the daughter of the Marquis of Xuanwu, Yi Jing is idle)

Chen Shen also saw them, whispered to the apprentice, and hurriedly walked over.

Song Suqing glanced at Pei Huilan, who was still staring at Qi An, pulled her sleeve, and said softly: "Father-in-law Chen." ”

"What?" Pei Huilan turned sideways with a little confusion, and looked at her eyes, and saw Chen Shen kneeling on one knee on the ground, holding the holy decree high in his hand to prevent it from falling to the ground, "See Her Royal Highness the Princess."

The golden decree fell into Pei Huilan's eyes, and his gaze swept over him at the gate of the palace, and his eyebrows frowned: "Father-in-law is here to find the third brother?" ”

The palace maid beside her helped Chen Shen up, and Chen Shen smiled and bowed his head.

If this decree was a bad thing, he would definitely not smile until he narrowed his eyes, Song Xu thought about it for a while, and immediately had doubts about this holy decree.

The gate of the palace was wide open, the guards retreated to both sides, and the god of Qi An Rin who was outside led him outside, Song Suqing and Pei Huilan looked at each other for a moment, and also walked in after him.

The news that Chen Shen came with the holy decree was already before he arrived at the palace, someone handed the news to the palace, and when Qi An led him in, Pei Muyao was already waiting in the main hall, and Zechuan stepped forward to take him in the direction of the main hall.
