Song Changsheng was quite surprised when he heard the summons, but he didn't say anything, got off his horse, and followed Chang Qing to the emperor's carriage behind.
The rider goes first, then the carriage, and there is some distance between the two.
It's past lunch time, the Royal Forest Army and the people who stopped to cook and eat are forming a team, waiting to go, the emperor called him at this time, is it very important
After Changqing brought him here, he reminded the emperor, but no one answered.
Song Changsheng saluted, "I have seen the emperor."
Still no one answered.
It took a long time before someone asked through the curtain, "Do you have a younger sister?"
He froze for a moment, "Yes."
Their Song family has a prosperous heir, with many children, and he has more than ten children in the family. There are older brothers, older sisters, younger brothers and younger sisters.
"Would you mind having one more?"
There seemed to be something wrong with this topic, and he vaguely guessed something.
"do not mind."
I don't dare to mind, the emperor's attitude is already very obvious.
The curtain was lifted, and the emperor sat in the carriage, looking down at him, "Recognize Fang Shu as your younger sister, you like her so much."
Sure enough, he found out about the talk by the river at noon, and he did this to dispel his thoughts.
He didn't have much contact with Fang Shu. It was the first time he was by the river at noon, and he was rejected without saying a few words.
In such a situation, you will actually guard against him, love him very much, right
"My minister complies."
Yin Fei frowned.
Instead of saying 'yes', he said 'obey', as if being forced to order.
"You don't want to?" he asked, narrowing his eyes.
"My minister is willing." Song Changsheng rolled up his sleeves and bowed.
"Go back." He didn't want to, and he didn't necessarily have to admit it.
Whether he admits it or not, he has ways to prevent him from getting in touch with Fang Shu.
Song Changsheng bowed again before leaving. Changqing sent him off, but the person behind him suddenly stopped and looked at the carriage that had already lowered the curtain and only vaguely reflected its shadow.
"What's the matter, Lord Song?" Song Changsheng is currently studying and writing documents in the Imperial Academy, and once he gets familiar with him, he will become a rising star in the imperial court.
After all, the imperial court is in urgent need of talents, and he won't be able to stay in the Imperial Academy for long. Scholars from the Imperial Academy have always been very popular after they go out. Among the six ministers in the imperial court, four of them were born as champions.
Song Changsheng is Sanyuan Jidi, and his future is even more limitless than theirs. As long as he is not stupid, he knows that this person cannot be offended and should be taken care of. Changqing's attitude is very low, and he doesn't mind that he doesn't obey the rules. look.
"It's okay." Song Changsheng withdrew his gaze, followed Changqing to continue walking, said goodbye to Changqing after a while, returned to his mount, and jumped onto the horse.
The colleague next to him asked him, "Why did you suddenly disappear?"
He smiled slightly, "The emperor summons."
Several people who were also on the list but had never met the emperor were very envious, and they praised and yearned in unison.
Song Changsheng smiled wryly where no one saw him.
Being summoned by the emperor is not all a good thing, it may also be a bad thing.
While Yin Fei was dealing with the memorial, he suddenly realized that today was the third day, so he recruited He Qing.
There was pressing business to discuss, and he let people into the carriage.
Incense was lit in the carriage, and it slowly floated up, covering the interior of the carriage with a layer of white smoke.
Across a table, two big men sat facing each other. Yin Fei quickly wrote the word 'rejected' under the memorial, and watched him while closing the memorial.
"Three days, how are you thinking?"
He Qing sighed, "Your Majesty, what exactly are you going to do?"
He was very puzzled, he always felt that it was not that simple, he was clearly convicted, but he was brought by his side, not tied or locked, just like an ordinary person, allowing him to enter and leave the barracks.
Now that he is asked to betray his brother who has been with him for more than ten years, is he too confident in him? Still confident in yourself
He really couldn't figure out the emperor's mind at all.
Yin Fei took another memorial and continued to read it. It was Xiao Xichuan's business. Xiao Xichuan had just been quiet for a while, and then started to make trouble again. The local guarding general asked for food to fight.
Speaking of Xiao Xichuan, he thought of another person. The rice was ripe and ready to be picked, and that person should also learn to go down the mountain.
"Some people have done wrong things, they can be forgiven, but some people can't." Yin Fei ticked under the memorial, which means he's 'sure', "Do you understand what I mean?"
He Qingning frowned, "I can't do it if I sell my brother for the opportunity."
Yin Fei glanced at him in a hurry, "It seems that you still don't understand."
Close the memorial and put it on the approved side, "Go back and think about it, and come to me when you think about it."
He Qing froze for a moment, he knelt in the carriage, the thick felt under his knees was warm, he couldn't feel the hardness of the wood board at all, but there was a slight pain in his bones.
I don't know if it's from kneeling for too long, or he feels pain from the inside out
His hands clenched the hem of the clothes, his fingertips turned white, and there was faint sweat flowing from his forehead.
He has a difficult decision to make, one that could cost many lives, including his own.
"The guilty minister is willing to trust the emperor."
He doesn't regret his death, it doesn't matter whether he lives or dies, so he has to gamble for others.
Because he knew that even if he didn't tell the emperor, the emperor would still have a way to catch them, it's just a matter of time.
Instead of this, it is better to trust the emperor, maybe there will be a little life in the desperate situation.
Yin Fei smiled, "Find the new Admiral of Nine Gates to cooperate with his work."
He Qing let out a long sigh and left.
He was very confused, he didn't know whether it was right or wrong to do so, and now he could only trust the emperor.
Believe in the master who single-handedly rescued him from the mud.
He will definitely not let him down.
Fang Shu had already woken up and was looking outside nervously, fearing that the queen mother would come to her and take her away for questioning.
What to ask is naturally a matter between her and the emperor.
Fang Shu was so worried that the wound hurt, Fang Shu took a deep breath, calmed down, and tried not to be nervous.
It's all right, the emperor said it all, the queen mother must have known it a long time ago, she has let her go by not coming, seeing that she is honest and has no scheming, and even saved her, so I don't know her as much.
She has already acquiesced in her underground love affair with the emperor.
Fang Shu suddenly felt fortunate that she hadn't given up on the Queen Mother, otherwise the Queen Mother would have killed her early in the morning, soaked her in a pigsty, or beat her to death.
But if she doesn't save her, there will be no queen mother now, and if the emperor doesn't say anything about it, he will definitely feel uncomfortable.
And if she didn't take care of the queen mother when she was capable, and the emperor found out, the consequences would be disastrous.
What would the emperor think of her
So Fang Shu felt that what she did was right. At that time, she just followed her heart and did it without thinking about anything. After thinking about it afterwards, she was actually a little impulsive. She should calm down and pay more attention to the surrounding environment. As for the arrow.
Now the chest still hurts, it has been three days, and it has not been relieved.
Fang Shu touched the injured part, and the imperial doctor will come to change her gauze later. If he comes, it means that the queen mother is not angry, because the imperial doctor can't be called just by calling, but the queen mother must be asked for instructions.
If the Queen Mother failed, it means that she is angry. If she is angry, she should make other plans earlier.
Fang Shu opened the curtain and looked out. The scenery on both sides kept receding. The imperial doctor hasn't come yet, maybe he won't come.
The queen mother was really angry.
Still mind, she hooked up with her son.
Fang Shu's eyes were gloomy, and she was about to put down the curtains to go to sleep when a person came suddenly carrying a suitcase.
Fang Shu was overjoyed.
The doctor is here.
Yun Xi is peeling grapes for the queen mother. The queen mother likes to eat this kind of grassland variety. It is big, sweet and seedless. Her peeling speed cannot keep up with the queen mother's eating speed.
But the Empress Dowager didn't pay much attention to the song, Wu Xi sang it, she was good at singing, and she used to be in a theater troupe.
There was no outsider here, and she felt uncomfortable holding back some words, so she simply asked them out.
"Queen Mother, let's forget about Fang Shu's seduction of the emperor?" That day when Fang Shu went out in the middle of the night, she felt that something was wrong, and she asked someone to follow her. Got in without a hitch.
Later, I heard from the guard that it was the emperor's jade pendant, and I stayed overnight yesterday, and today I even went into the emperor's carriage.
She told the Queen Mother about it, but the Queen Mother even laughed and said 'no wonder' several times.
She guessed that she had already known it in her heart, and she didn't call anyone to question her, which was not like her style.
The queen mother paused for a while, and stopped the hand that was placed on her lap to tap the beat. She opened her eyes and glanced at her, "The child is getting older, I can't control it anymore, just let him go."
He looked at his hands with fine lines no matter how they were maintained, and said in a sigh, "In this life, the Ai family has won the fight against the late emperor, defeated the slut, won the seal of the phoenix, and held real power, so what can I do?" ?Now it’s the world of young people, Ai’s family is getting old, it’s time to retire, and in this life, I’ll just listen to music, enjoy flowers, and just take a walk.”
Not so much ambition anymore.
After letting go, I feel a lot easier.
They are already adults, let them make their own decisions, whether it is good or bad, if she doesn't intervene, then you don't have to blame her, otherwise, if she intervenes, the son who already has a problem with her will hate her lifetime.
The most important thing is Fang Shu, she can't feel her bad intentions, as long as she is sincere to Huang'er, she doesn't care about anything else.
As for the status gap, he will definitely find a way to make up for it. He has grown up and is more considerate than her, so she doesn't need to worry about it.
All she had to do was watch quietly, and see how he could fulfill his vow that he didn't want his other half to follow her old path.
Wait and see.
The big team arrived at the foot of the imperial city on the fourth day, and it took a whole morning to enter the palace. In the evening, the emperor entertained everyone in the imperial garden.
Li Zhai and Shangguan Yun walked together on the road, and Li Zhai, who had drunk a lot, squeezed into Shangguan Yun's sedan chair, reeking of alcohol.
The tired bearer was staggering and unable to lift.
People who drank too much didn't realize it at all, and they were still hooking shoulders with their good buddies in the sedan chair.
Shangguan Yun sat on one side, and he also squeezed in, the sedan chair tilted suddenly, and Shangguan Yun ran aground on this side, and the two of them were close to each other.
He couldn't take it any longer. He pushed Li Zhai and covered his nose with his sleeve, "How much wine have you drunk?"
"Not much." In fact, he was still conscious, just bullying Shangguan Yun with the strength of alcohol.
"Brother Shangguan."
"Hmm." The person who didn't like the smell of alcohol and secretly replaced it with plain water was not drunk at all, and his tone and behavior were normal.
"There is something I want to ask for your help." The emperor gave him inspiration today.
"What's the matter?" There was a bad feeling in my heart.
"The Hibiscus girl I told you about last time." The emperor had this question, and so did he, "You recognize her as your younger sister."
Shangguan said: "..."
It really is not a good thing.
"What's wrong with you two?" The one who agreed to be brothers for the rest of his life secretly found another lover halfway.
"It's fate." Li Zhai thought about it very much, "She is a very obedient and cute girl. She is stupid and small, and she came to me."
Compared with the chest position.
"When you are angry and shameless, you can hold it down with one hand."
"Very defensive."
There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Last time someone bumped into me on the street and scolded me for being short-sighted. I didn't care about her since she was a woman. She quit and insisted on scolding me back. She almost beat me up." stand up."
"Brother Shangguan." The tone was serious, "Try it, it's very sweet."
Shangguan Yun disagreed, "Don't harm me."
He is the only seedling in Shangguan's family, and his parents have very high requirements on his wife. Not only must he be good-looking, but also have both talents and learning. Even the concubine needs to be an innocent girl from the official family.
But who is willing to be a concubine for an innocent woman from an official family? Even if he wants to, he may not be interested in it.
He hasn't used the sleeping girl that his parents raised him since he was a child. It's still the same sentence, he is very indifferent to everything, including that aspect.
"Tsk tsk." Li Zhai said regretfully, "What a pity."
When the sedan chair reached a familiar place, Li Zhai suddenly remembered, took out a letter from his pocket, shook it and said, "I almost forgot about this, I'm going to deliver the letter."
Shangguan Yun did not stop, "Go."
Li Zhai reminded him as he walked, "Don't forget about my sister."
"Understood." Recognizing one younger sister is recognition, and recognizing two is also recognition, there is no difference.
At most, he would pay the dowry, for two people, he could afford it, and since he was asked for help, it was impossible for the two of them not to consider this aspect, so he didn't have to worry about it at all, it was just a name.
Speaking of which, why did they become so fast
I remember the discussion some time ago, Li Zhai said that he still had to take care of his baby, how could he have time to talk about love
It's only been a long time, and the two already have someone they like. Is love and love really so interesting? Can he unify the world with one heart, and fall into the hands of the two who are busy raising their babies
This field is unfamiliar to him, and he doesn't understand it.
He turned back to the house, the sedan chair was slow, and it was already the third watch time when he returned. He rubbed his temples, walked in tiredly, returned to his room without doing anything, and went straight to sleep.
The clothes were hung on the rack, and the shoes and socks were taken off in front of the couch. After thinking about it, he picked up the socks and smelled them. They were just worn this morning, they didn't smell bad, and they could be worn tomorrow.
As soon as it was put back, the door was suddenly kicked open, and Li Zhai stepped straight in with his long legs.
"Brother Shangguan." His face was not very good-looking, "I was scumbag!"
