8 Incidents
When Song Guanqiong walked into the Wanqiu Courtyard, he found a hint of difference.
Thinking about the real token, he continued to walk inside.
This courtyard is located in Pingkangfang, it is already a curfew, especially the drum music silk bamboo comes out, the curtain is beautiful, the moon is hazy and flowery, and the strange road is a gentle township favored by the powerful.
The prince shouldn't be here at this time.
Song Guanqiong's hand pressed on the hilt of the sword, and the tip of the sword deflected the angle.
The person who lowered his head and led the way kept his head down, and he actually noticed Song Guanqiong's subtle movements.
Standing at the door, he raised his head: "Shizi, please unload your blade when you enter." ”
Song Guanqiong saw his face clearly, an ancient tree-like face, his face was white and beardless, his back was habitually rickety, but his kung fu was profound.
He paused for a moment and handed the sword to the nearby water.
Jinshui sensed that something was wrong: "Shizi, why don't you go back?" ”
Jinshan has a stupid brain, but he has a good nose, even if it is too faint, he still smells the smell of "Qinghui incense", and tells Shizi softly.
Qinghui Xiang?
The tributes worth more than 1,000 gold are mostly female incense used by nobles in the palace.
Song Guanqiong walked into the house, and there was no one waiting in the outer room.
As soon as he entered, he frowned.
A faint smoke rose from the incense burner, but there was no fragrance.
Qinghui incense should be the smell brought in by people, and the burning things in this incense burner have no smell, so they are suspicious.
There was a sound of breathing in the inner room, and Song Guanqiong did not rush to ask who it was, but walked to the tea table, picked up a cup of tea and splashed it on the smoke-filled incense burner.
As soon as the fog cleared, the veil in the inner room was full of people.
Song Guanqiong originally couldn't figure out why the prince made an appointment with him here, but when he saw the people inside the curtain, he understood everything.
The wrist that brushed open the vermilion gauze curtain was as soft as a bone, and the Qibao bracelet was stacked on top of it, followed by a delicate face, wearing a crown of red feathers, lips like Danzhu, and a pair of water-cut eyes, which were particularly poignant when looking at him.
"The ...... of the Prince"
It was none other than the princess of the Jin Kingdom who was about to get married.
The princess was not in the palace to be married, but she appeared here, no matter why, it made Song Guanqiong frown.
He didn't speak, which added to the anxiety of the princess of Jinguo.
I was desperate tonight, I stole the token of the prince's brother to meet Song Guanqiong here, and I bothered to order the secret medicine in the palace, just to give myself to him completely.
I didn't expect Song Guanqiong to find out so quickly and extinguish the incense burner.
It's not that she doesn't know that she behaves out of line, but if she doesn't do this, I'm afraid she will be unwilling for the rest of her life.
"Song ...... Shizi, this palace is looking for you, there is something ......" Before the princess of Jin finished speaking, her face turned red.
Song Guanqiong's tone was colder than the snow outside: "The princess, please go back to the palace and wait for the marriage with peace of mind." ”
His words made the princess of the Jin Kingdom face stiffen, and the makeup powder turned white.
What to marry? When the princess of the Jin Kingdom saw the person she was thinking about, she didn't want to marry.
She wanted to find a little emotion on Song Guanqiong's face, but no, there was no look on his face for her to reverie, not even disdain.
Whether she is happy or angry, it can make an infatuated woman think about it, but Song Guanqiong has no expression.
It's not about himself, he's indifferent, he's cold like a stranger.
Willingly?
She was not reconciled.
As if she had made up her mind, the princess of the Jin Kingdom got up and walked towards him, her voice trembling: "As long as you say a word, this palace will not marry, even if you wait for you for a lifetime, you will be happy!" ”
She deliberately wore a fiery red skirt, the robe slipped off, the skirt surged like a red cloud when walking, the material was so thin that even if it was layered, you could faintly see the swinging legs, the neckline of the skirt was extremely low, and the half-long white mound was full of walking, as if she was seducing something.
Dressed like this, the princess of the Jin Kingdom is not ashamed, but the medicine has been used, she has completely let it go, and tonight she vows to take people down.
After speaking, the person also stood in front of Song Guanqiong, and the princess of the Jin Kingdom was already beating like a drum, waiting for her sweetheart's reply.
Such an infatuated princess, no matter how ruthless the son is, should be moved.
pity
Nothing.
Song Guanqiong's eyes were silent, no different from when he rejected her before.
He even took a step back, as if avoiding the dust kicked up by a carriage, and his eyes fell on the gold-woven carpet.
"What do you say......" The princess of Jin Kingdom urged him desperately with a crying voice.
He spoke, indifferent to the cold: "The minister's words are the same as before. ”
The princess of the Jin Kingdom didn't want to believe it, she had done it to this point, and Song Guanqiong still didn't waver at all?
In the face of rejection, she was like a trapped beast, not knowing how to break through this cold wall.
It's not that she didn't want to use power to suppress him, the princess of the Jin Kingdom has begged her father for marriage many times, she believes that even if Song Guanqiong doesn't like herself now, as long as she becomes a relative, she will stay together for a long time in the future, no matter how gentle she is, Song Guanqiong will always be shaken,
No matter how ruthless he is, with his gentlemanly demeanor, he will at least give her the respect of his wife.
Even, the princess of the Jin Kingdom thought about allowing him to take a concubine in the future to please him.
But none of these moved Song Guanqiong, and his father refused to let go.
The princess of the Jin Kingdom was so angry that she was confused for a while, so she agreed to marry the Jiang family.
The closer she got to the wedding ceremony, the more she felt that she was very wrong, and when she ran out today, she left everything behind.
As long as Song Guanqiong said a word and was willing to ask her, she would have the courage to resist the decree.
Still get such a heart-wrenching answer.
The princess of the Jin Kingdom looked like a relative.
Song Guanqiong had no intention of seeing the woman cry, "The minister still has something to do, I wish the princess the New Year, and wish the horse an early birth of a noble son, and love for a hundred years." ”
The heart of departure is clear.
Before the words came out, the princess of the Jin Kingdom burst into tears directly, "This palace doesn't understand, who does it take to enter your heart?" ”
Appearance, origin, sincerity...... What is it about him that he doesn't like?
How could he not love himself?
The princess of the Jin Kingdom, Song Guanqiong just didn't answer, and that face would appear in his mind, and the impatience between his eyebrows would disperse.
The woman is so sensitive to the emotional changes of her sweetheart, as soon as she looks at him, she knows that there is indeed someone, and the princess of the Jin Kingdom has even more pain on her face, and her tears are like rolling balls.
"Tonight, the princess has never been here, and the princess will return the token this morning."
Song Guanqiong said, politely saluted, turned around and went out.
Watching her sweetheart leave ruthlessly with tears in her eyes, the princess of Jin slid to the ground and cried hoarsely.
The door was open, and the man had stepped out of the verandah, swallowed up by the night.
The old eunuch hurriedly came in and closed the door, and called the maid to put on the princess's robe.
The old eunuch sighed and persuaded: "Princess, Song Shizi has no heart, this marriage is useless, Jiang Sanlang is both talented and beautiful, has a great future, and treats the princess sincerely, and also sent a string of hard-to-find Bodhi beads, and the husband and wife will definitely be ......happy in the future."
He took out the string of Bodhi beads.
But how can the princess of the Jin Kingdom, who is deeply involved, see it, "This palace is a princess, what should you not get?" ”
She slowly put down her hand to cover her face, tears sparked her makeup, adding a bit of madness, and she ripped off the Bodhi beads, the thin threads were broken, and the beads rolled to the ground.
The personal palace maid also advised: "Princess, you will get married soon, or ......"
"Go back to the palace! Let people find out which woman has been close to Song Guanqiong recently. ”
Seeing that he couldn't move, the old eunuch could only bow his head and respond: "Yes......"
—
Xia Sushuang untied his wine-stained clothes, yawned, and entered the clean room a little sluggishly.
It's good to drink some wine, and now I'm sleepy, so I won't be able to sleep for the people I see during the day.
The clean room was foggy, and she slammed her head on the edge of the tub, her hair wet, and pressed against the white jade flawless neck.
I don't know if I've drunk too much wine, but I always feel a lot stuffy today.
"Whew-" Taking a deep breath, Xia Sushuang returned the posture and continued to tilt his head and doze.
The discomfort of drinking made her ignore the slightest strangeness in the house, and the fox Bubu was afraid of water, and when he heard the sound of water, he ran outside the house and disappeared.
When the female envoy came in with dinner, Xia Sushuang came out and helped the stilted table in a daze.
After eating hastily, her eyes were half-closed sleepily, she rinsed her mouth with tea, and she didn't forget to shout out twice: "Bu Bu-"
The envoy said, "The prince ordered the little fox to prepare fresh meat, but he was afraid that the smell would remain in the master's room, so he instructed him to take the food to the ear room, and the little fox is afraid that he will have dinner there now." ”
Xia Sushuang went to see it, Bu Bu really buried his head in eating, no wonder he ignored it.
She relieved herself, and after the envoy left, she also went to the inner room to rest.
But slowly, the feeling of tightness in her chest rose, and she sat down on the bed, trying to figure out what was wrong with her.
This break, there was no improvement in the slightest, and the unbearable feeling was heavier, Xia Xushuang propped up the edge of the bed, and was puzzled by the bursts of heat surging in her body.
Did you catch a cold while the wind was blowing by the lake?
Xia Sushuang shook her head and lay down on the bed.
However, sleeping is the beginning of the discomfort.
"Hmm-"
She hugged the pillow, and then set it aside for a while, looking for the coolness on the quilt.
It's too hot –
Bursts of heat.
Soon the coolness was no longer working, and she wanted to get up and put out the fire, only to find that she had no strength at all.
"Autumn ......"
She called the name of the envoy and wanted her to go to the doctor.
Even though Xia Sushuang knows some medical skills, he is really completely unfamiliar with the situation at the moment, so he can only ask for help from outsiders.
It turned out that Yang Shaolian was worried that she would not be fooled, so she not only drugged the tea she ate, but also smoked the medicine in the clean room and bed tent, and even the tea for gargling.
"Autumn ......"
No one answered her, and a strange shadow appeared in the doors and windows.
Outside the guest house, a cold moon shone on the trail.
When Song Guanqiong returned to the Dingguo Mansion, it was as quiet as usual, but he did not go to his green house, but came all the way to the guest house.
If he hadn't gone to Wanqiu Courtyard, Song Guanqiong would have come over a long time ago, and if Zhou Fengxi's affairs were not completely clarified, he would have been restless all night.
But the female envoy of Yangrongtang appeared and asked Song Guanqiong to see the Yang family.
He glanced in the direction of the guest house,
The Duchess of Dingguo asked the lights in the other courtyards to be extinguished early, leaving only the lanterns from the front yard to Yangrong Hall.
The concubines and concubines of Dingguo dared not speak out.
Dingguo Gong was fighting outside, and the Duchess of Guo suppressed everyone in this family to death, and she gave birth to a good son with ability, and the honor earned by father and son was enjoyed by her, and who else in the house dared to touch her brow.
Walking along the lanterned verandah all the way to the backyard, at the end is the Yangrong Hall where the Duchess of Guo lived, and the sound of boots rubbing against the stone slabs was even more muffled.
Suddenly, a white figure jumped out and bit Song Guanqiong's boot.
Bubu?
Song Guanqiong stopped, how could it suddenly run out of the guest house?
Bubu bit at his boots as if pulling him somewhere.
A strange feeling rose in his heart, and he said, "You go and tell your mother that I still have something to do, so I won't go first." ”
After that, he left the water behind, and left.
The envoy stood in place, a little unbelievable, the prince would never disobey the will of the eldest lady, let alone leave halfway without reason.
Jinshui smiled and said to the eldest lady's personal envoy: "Sister, let's go." ”
Song Guanqiong was about to enter the guest courtyard, when the female envoy guarding the door suddenly stepped forward and said, "Shizi, the female master has already fallen asleep." ”
"Get out of the way."
Master is asleep?
Knowing that Zhou Fengxi was given a marriage contract, can she sleep?
Now that I'm sleeping, I'm either trying to hide from myself, or something happened.
Seeing that the prince was about to go inside, the envoy hesitated for a moment and said, "The prince, it's already the middle of the night, if the eldest lady knows, I'm afraid it won't be easy." ”
At this point, Song Guanqiong knew that something had happened to the guest house.
Jinshan immediately took down the man, and he disappeared at the gate of the courtyard almost in a flash.
