Chapter 59: Side Concubine

(Does Pei Yichen also know)

Shaozhou is not only where Li Jin is, but also the place where Pei Muyao escorted him back to Beijing.

Song Suqing didn't know when Pei Muyao learned that Li Jin was in Shaozhou in her previous life, but she still couldn't help but wonder if it was because she climbed the wall to find him a few days ago and told him where Li Jin was hiding, so that everything arrived at this time early.

On the way out of the palace and back to the house, Song Suqing had been thinking about it, and even Pei Muyao looked at her with burning eyes and a little inquiry beside her, and she didn't have any reaction.

It wasn't until he got off the horse and saw Pei Yichen's personal guard Pingyang in front of the palace that Song Suqing put down his thoughts and looked at the visitor cautiously.

Pingyang arched his hand and said respectfully: "Lord, princess." ”

Pei Muyao glanced at him lightly, "What's the matter?"

"The emperor allowed the side concubine to enter the East Palace today, and His Royal Highness specially ordered his subordinates to send invitations." Pingyang said, holding the invitation card in both hands, and said: "Your Royal Highness instructs your subordinates, if the prince is okay this afternoon, he can take the princess to the East Palace as a guest in Shenshi, so as to congratulate the concubine on entering the palace." ”

On the half-opened invitation card, Xie Zijin's name was written impressively.

Song Suqing twisted her eyebrows slightly, Gu Qinning's time to enter the palace in this life was not bad from her previous life, it was all on the second day of her wedding, as if her marriage and Gu Qinning's affairs were intertwined.

She thought about it, but she still felt that something was wrong.

Song Xuqing's eyes swept over Mingyue who was following behind him, and remembered that the words he heard Qi'an say in the morning were inseparable from Mingyin.

Pingyang said that it was Shen Shi, and it happened to be Shen Shi at this moment, as if he was deliberately squatting here to guard them, no matter what, they must go to congratulate Gu Qinning on entering the palace.

Pei Muyao twisted the words of the invitation with his fingertips, lowered his eyes and asked thoughtfully, "Do you want to go?" ”

"Go." Song Suqing responded without hesitation.

She naturally wanted to go, she didn't care about Gu Qinning in her previous life, but in this life, it was as if someone deliberately did it, and from time to time Gu Qinning's news would be delivered to her.

Except for the first time when they met by accident, the many meetings since then seem to have been planned by Gu Qinning for a long time, and even when they met in the restaurant on the day of the Duanyang Festival, the three sachets she handed over casually, the fragrance of flowers in the bags was consistent with the fragrance they liked.

In her previous life, Song Suqing only felt that Gu Qinning was gentle and quiet while being smart, and she didn't have much scheming on her, but now she can't help but be suspicious.

At this moment, if she has this opportunity to deliberately meet Gu Qinning, she naturally wants to go.

You can hear the soft sound of it colliding with Mu Heng when a needle falls quietly, and the eyes of the person in front of him are staring at the intertwined fingertips, Pei Muyao raised his hand thoughtfully, rubbed his fingers slightly, and made a 'click' sound.

Song Xuqing's eyes lifted slightly, and he looked at the source of the sound in confusion.

Pei Muyao's hand fell, pulling away her hands that were tightly clasped together, slightly ruddy due to too much force, "Thinking about something, so obsessed." ”

Song Xu was silent for a while, thought for a moment, pursed his lips and asked in a deep voice: "When did you send Mingyin to Gu Qinning's side." ”

After asking, she remembered in hindsight that Pei Muyao didn't seem to have told her about Mingyin, and the only thing she had ever said in front of one person in her life was Mingyue, and there was no one else.

Thinking about this, Song Suqing's heart was slightly cold, and his breathing slowed down a little.

But who knew that Pei Muyao didn't ask her why she knew Mingyin, but just let go of her hand unhurriedly and said, "Three years ago." ”

"Three years ago?" Song Suqing looked stunned, he didn't expect it to be so early.

remembered what Ming Yue had said, Ming Yin came to her side not long after Gu Qinning entered Beijing, and at that time, she had already had an entanglement with Pei Yichen, and followed him for three years without a name or a point, if it wasn't for her marriage in advance, she would have to wait another year, which was already a long night for a woman.

Song Suqing shook her head incredulously, and asked again: "How did she evade Pei Yichen's pursuit?" ”

Pei Muyao was silent and said, "It was Gu Qinning who asked her by name." ”

Mingyin is similar to Mingyue, because of the cold family background, he can't provide for it, so he has been under Pei Muyao since he was a child and became a secret guard, even if he is a secret guard, he naturally has an identity.

The identity of Mingyin that outsiders can find out is only that her father and mother are simple villagers who do long-term labor and farming in a village on the outskirts of Beijing, and there are two younger sisters and two younger brothers.

Not long after entering the Dark Pavilion, Pei Yichen ordered the shopkeeper of the Dark Pavilion to send a group of maids to the courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing, and Mingyue was one of them, and on that day, Gu Qinning asked for 'Ying'er' as her personal maid.

Song Xu listened to this story quietly, but the thoughts in his eyes did not dissipate.

She exhaled heavily, and expressed the doubts sealed in her heart: "As far as I know, Gu Changfeng, the young secretary of Dali Temple, is from Zhuzhou, and the girl Qinning is an orphan girl, because she is from Zhuzhou, Pei Yichen found Gu Changfeng and ordered him to recognize the girl from Qinning as his sister, so he had Gu Qinning." ”

"But Gu Qinning revealed to me intentionally or unintentionally that she is from Shanzhou, and you also know about it." Song Xuqing's eyes were raised lightly, and his eyes stared at Pei Muyao's expression without blinking, "In this way, does Pei Yichen also know." ”

"Maybe you know, you may not know." Pei Muyao tapped the invitation with his fingertips, and his tone was extremely light, "But if he really knows, Gu Qinning won't stay by his side anymore." ”

Pei Yichen was unaware.

Song Suqing meditated in his heart, in his last life, until the end, Gu Qinning was by his side and never left a step.

It is precisely because of this that she can taste a little bit of the deep affection between the two of them, if Gu Qinning's life experience is a little better, maybe there will be nothing wrong with her.

Thinking about it, Song Suqing suddenly felt that something was wrong, and his eyes were suspicious, "Why did Gu Qinning ...... after knowing about it?"

"Lord, princess, the East Palace has arrived."

Qi An shook the bell on the beam of the carriage, interrupting the conversation between the two.

Song Suqing raised his hand to lift the curtain of the window, the East Palace was as deserted as usual, if he hadn't received the invitation, he wouldn't have known that he had entered the side concubine here.

She knew it wasn't a good place to talk, so she closed her lips and was silent.

But when she was about to get up and lift the curtain and walk out, the wrist carrying the hem of the skirt was grabbed from behind, and his voice was not too small or small, enveloping her in it, "I will leave for Shanzhou in three days, do you want to go?" ”

His grip on his wrist was light, like a feather sliding across the palm of his hand, but there was something in his tone that could not be refused.

Song Suqing was stunned, sat down and looked back at him, "Didn't you go to Shaozhou?" ”

Pei Muyao said casually, "Nominally, I went to Shaozhou, but the actual foothold is Shanzhou." ”

If it weren't for the mention of Gu Qinning today, Pei Muyao would never have thought of asking Song Suqing if he wanted to go to Shanzhou together, after all, the distance was far away, not to mention, he was afraid that he would encounter some things in Shanzhou, and take her there, if he was a little careless, he would regret his life.

But if she is left alone in the palace, if the guards in the palace are not well protected, he will not know what happened.

Song Suqing blinked his eyes and shook his head.

Outside the tent, the clatter of horses' hooves on the patron tiles sounded.

Through the gauze tent fluttering in the wind, I saw the visitor jump off his horse, raise the long whip in his hand, and stride over.

Song Suqing pursed his lips, and it wasn't until he approached that he saw his figure clearly, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

When there was still a foot away from the carriage, Pei Zicheng stopped, his eyes swept over the maids and guards who were waiting outside, and landed on Qi An's body, "Why did the third brother come by carriage today?" ”

When the words fell, Song Suqing's figure leaning out was reflected in his dark pupils, and he immediately bowed his head and arched his hand: "It turns out that the third sister-in-law also came over." ”

The corners of Song Suqing's mouth raised slightly, and she smiled at him.

"Sure enough, it's a person with a family......" Pei Zicheng opened his mouth to tease, and he caught a glimpse of his brother's stagnant eyes, and the words that overflowed to his mouth changed his tone: "It's better to come early than to come by coincidence, I just met the third brother here, and someone can accompany me in." ”

Song Suqing couldn't help but smile when he saw that his tone changed very quickly, as if someone was chasing him behind him.

Pingyang also returned to the East Palace early, he guarded the door, and when he saw the three of them coming, he led them to the inside of the East Palace, and when he came to the fork in the road, he suddenly stopped and said: "Princess, if you don't mind, I would like to ask you to go to the side concubine's courtyard and sit for a while." ”

Without waiting for Song Suqing's reaction, Pei Muyao's eyebrows swept over Pingyang, who was hanging his head.

Song Suqing keenly noticed that the atmosphere around her was cold, and she caught a glimpse of Pei Muyao's cold expression, she quietly pulled his sleeve and looked up at him silently.

She had a clear heart in her heart, Pei Yichen invited her to sit in Gu Qinning's courtyard, not for anything else, but to support Gu Qinning, and also to tell the world with actions that this woman was the person he put on the tip of his heart, not to mention the concubine in the palace, even people outside the palace should not touch her at all.

In his previous life, Pei Yichen invited the eldest lady of Roujia's mother's family, but in this life, he found her to create a harmonious relationship between concubines.

After a long stalemate, Pei Muyao bowed his head and motioned for Zechuan to follow.

Zechuan naturally couldn't enter the courtyard, but he also guarded outside the courtyard gate, watching Song Suqing enter the door under the leadership of the palace maid.

Song Suqing is very familiar with all the arrangements in the East Palace, but she is still very cautious to follow the palace maid forward, for fear that if she takes a wrong step, she will reveal her knowledge.

The plaque hung high on the door was painted with the words 'White Jade Pavilion', and before she stepped into the pavilion, she could hear laughter wafting from afar, and there seemed to be the voices of other concubines, but when she stepped into the White Jade Pavilion, the group of people stood up to say goodbye.

The cold eyes of a group of people when they walked out of the inner room froze when they saw Song Xuqing, and the three of them looked at each other a few times, but they didn't expect her to come here.

Song Suqing is familiar with them, among the many concubines in the East Palace, these three people are the most jealous, and it is not surprising that the three of them will come to see Gu Qinning at this moment, just to see what kind of person this woman who robbed them of their favor is.

The concubine Chen, who was standing at the forefront, was the first to react, and smiled and groaned: "This is Princess Rui, she is really beautiful, but she compares us all." ”

If someone else said this, Song Suqing would think that it was sincere, but she naturally didn't believe Chen's words, and she could hear that the meaning of her words was aimed at Gu Qinning.

She raised her lips slightly, "If you want to say that it is beautiful, it is still Qin Ningsheng's dazzling." ”

Chen's expression froze, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth gradually converged.

At this time, the bead curtain collided and made a crisp sound, and everyone followed the voice, only to see Mingyin coming out of the inside, and blessed Song Suqing: "Princess, my girl is waiting for you in the room." ”

The people standing in it are not stupid, they are not only inviting Song Suqing to enter, but also driving away guests.

Chen covered his mouth and coughed lightly, leading the other two concubines out of the White Jade Pavilion.

After everyone walked away, Mingyin turned around and opened the bead curtain, lowered her eyes and said, "Princess, please." ”

Song Xuqing stared at her eyes and withdrew a little, and said thoughtfully.

In the pavilion, Gu Qinning sat on the outside of the bed, and when she caught a glimpse of Song Suqing, a smile flashed in her eyes, and she got up and said, "Miss Song, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I haven't had time to congratulate you on my wedding, so I called you to come over to congratulate me on entering the palace." ”

"That's as it should be." The smile on Song Suqing's face did not change, and as she walked to the side of the table and sat down, "I never thought that Miss Gu would enter the East Palace today, and when I received the invitation, I didn't have time to find some things that the girl's family liked to bring." ”

After a pause, she said unhurriedly: "If you can bring some sugar cakes, it can also relieve Miss Gu's homesickness." ”

After the words fell, Song Suqing's eyes stared at Gu Qinning without blinking.

However, Gu Qinning's face did not stagnate at all, and even the action of pouring tea did not pause in the slightest.

She calmly filled the teacup with tea, moved to Song Suqing, and said: "I don't know that the homesickness can be solved by a sugar cake, if I can go back and see it one day, it will be regarded as a wish, but I don't have this opportunity, I can only rely on the stories I heard in my childhood, outlining and depicting the hometown in my memory." ”

Song Xuqing raised his eyebrows and took a sip of tea.

Gu Qinning rubbed the patterns on the cup, was silent for a moment, and looked at her with heavy eyes, "I heard that girls also like to be obedient to books, when I passed through Zhuzhou, Shanzhou, I also heard some small local stories, do you want to hear them?" ”

Song Xuqing's eyes flashed, "You say." ”

"The girl has ever heard of the Yin clan in Shanzhou." Gu Qinning took a sip of tea and asked slowly.

Song Xuqing naturally didn't know about the affairs of Shanzhou.

Gu Qinning also seemed to feel that this question was a little abrupt and boring, and a faint smile appeared in the corner of his eyes, and said: "It's normal that you haven't heard of it, the Yin clan in Shanzhou was destroyed overnight in the middle of the night thirteen years ago, and there is no Yin clan in the world since then." ”

"Destroy the door?" Song Xuqing's throat tightened, and his eyebrows frowned: "How do you know?" ”
