"I don't know what you two are worried about?" Song Qingshu showed a puzzled expression, "In my opinion, Princess Ake's visit to the capital will bring benefits but no harm. Why are you so resistant?"
"What do you mean by all benefits and no harm?" A Ke wrinkled her nose and snorted, "Of course it is good for my father, it is good for you, it is good for everyone, but it happens to be good for me. unfavorable."
"Being the emperor's concubine in the palace, maybe one day you can be the mother of the world, what's the disadvantage?" Song Qingshu asked intentionally.
"Hmph, the position of queen may be rare for others, but I, Ake, don't. The main man to marry in this county must be handsome and capable, and the most important thing is that he can only love me for the rest of his life." At this time, A Ke was in high spirits, with a radiance on his face.
Chen Yuanyuan looked at Song Qingshu with some embarrassment, thinking that when she was young, she was wandering in the dust, and in the dead of night, it was inevitable that she would have such a girlish fantasy, but it was a pity that she would wake up from the cruel reality soon, and now she naturally hoped that her daughter could realize her dream. wishes.
"Since you don't want to be the emperor's woman, then it's easy." Song Qingshu wiped his sweat, "Otherwise, I'm really in a difficult situation."
"What do you mean?" A Ke looked at Song Qingshu suspiciously.
Song Qingshu said with a smile: "The princess can rest assured, after you enter the palace, the emperor will only make you a female official, and will never accept you as a concubine."
"How is it possible, she... she is so beautiful, the perverted emperor will definitely let me go to sleep when he sees me." A Ke said coyly, rubbing the corner of her clothes with her small hands.
"Uh, actually." Song Qingshu thought for a while, and still planned to tell her the truth, "there are quite a lot of beauties in the palace, and there are several concubines who are as beautiful as the princess, such as Concubine Mi and Concubine Yi. They are beautiful, and compared to the greenness of the princess, they are more feminine."
Chen Yuanyuan looked at him with a strange expression, and thought to herself: How dare he criticize the emperor's concubine behind his back, in that tone... like a guest who used to hang around the Qinhuai River commenting on a brothel girl.
Although Song Qingshu didn't realize that he had committed the crime of disrespect, it was not good to judge another woman in front of two women, so he quickly said: "Of course these are not the key, the main thing is that you are sensitive as the princess, the emperor doesn't care It is convenient for you."
Chen Yuanyuan, who had a rough life, had already seen through the hypocrisy of men. When she heard Song Qingshu's reminder, she immediately realized that Ake's father was Wu Sangui, the world's biggest traitor. How could it be possible to stain one's reputation in history for the sake of a woman.
Seeing that A Ke was confused and still a little bit upset, Chen Yuanyuan quickly said: "A Ke, the emperor will not make things difficult for you, just go with Mr. Song into the palace and do something for your father."
"No, I don't want to die alone in the palace. Chapter 145 Stealing scriptures by the bed
"Seeing that her mother didn't help her anymore, Ake panicked immediately, and there was a hint of crying in her voice. Thinking of entering the palace and the emperor would not accept her, wouldn't she just be an old maid in her life? If so, it would be better to be the emperor Take it as a concubine.
"Princess, don't worry, there are actually some things I shouldn't have said..." Song Qingshu glanced at Chen Yuanyuan and sighed, "In order to reassure Madam, I will tell you quietly that sending you into the palace is actually just for the sake of King Pingxi. The emperor made a gesture of pleading guilty this time, the emperor must also understand this point, so it is impossible to keep you in the palace forever, after the incident with the princess this time is over, the emperor will find a reason to send you back."
"What if the emperor keeps me as a hostage!" A Ke regretted the words as soon as she uttered them. She had heard a lot about Wu Sangui and his son discussing the rebellion, and she knew in her heart that her father and the emperor would tear their faces apart one day. If I happened to be still in the palace at that time, wouldn't it be extremely miserable
Hearing A Ke's words, Chen Yuanyuan and Song Qingshu looked at each other in blank dismay. Although everyone knew Wu Sangui was going to rebel, at least they still maintained a superficial harmony. But A Ke said such words in front of Song Qingshu, the imperial envoy, if it reached Kangxi's ears, wouldn't it be more confirmed that Wu Sangui did have objections
Song Qingshu thought for a while, and replied to A Ke, she was no longer worried: "You are not your brother." The implication is also very clear, if Wu Yingxiong arrives in the capital, maybe Kangxi will really keep him as a pity proton. A Ke is a daughter, no matter how beautiful she is, she is just a woman, and her weight in the family is not heavy. If Kangxi threatened Wu Sangui with her as a girl, not only would it not have any effect, but she would also be ridiculed by the world.
"My concubine's mother and daughter are really grateful for Mr. Song's words to this extent." Chen Yuanyuan's voice was soft and soft, and she opened a pair of clear water phoenix eyes, and gave Song Qingshu a grateful look.
"If it were in front of Prince Pingxi, Song would not say these words out of his mouth, but seeing the peerless beauty of his wife, I really don't want to use the intrigues of the officialdom to perfuse my wife." Song Qingshu said.
"Master Song is just joking, a concubine is old and decrepit, how can she be worthy of the words of peerless beauty." Hearing the other party's praise, Chen Yuanyuan covered her mouth and smiled slightly, her face was flushed, her eyes were full of waves, and her lips were thin. Trembling, the momentary sorrow disappeared, and the room was full of coquettishness.
"Mother, how old are you? If you don't believe me, ask Mr. Song, we stand together on the street, do more people believe that we are sisters or more people believe that we are mother and daughter?" Mother is always convinced. Hugging her mother's arm, A Ke leaned her head lightly on Chen Yuanyuan's shoulder, tilted her head and smiled at Song Qingshu, "Master Song, please say something."
"Miss Ake, I thought you were the most beautiful in the world, but I never thought that your sister is even more beautiful than you." Song Qingshu pretended to be serious, and the faces of the two beauties on the opposite side were blushing. .

After chatting casually for a while, A Ke finally agreed to go to the capital with Song Qingshu, but he was quite reluctant to part with his mother and suggested that he need to spend more time with her for the rest of the time.
Song Qingshu and the mother and daughter agreed to pick up Ake on the day they left Shanhaiguan, so they stood up and said goodbye.
Back in the city, after sending someone to inform Wu Sangui of the news, Song Qingshu waited silently for the twilight to fall, looking in the direction of Sansheng Nunnery, thinking in his heart: as long as he gets this "Forty-two Chapters" from the Zhenglan Banner, he will return it. Only Prince Bao Hongli's book is missing... As for the treasure map of the six scriptures embroidered on Shuang'er's obscene clothes, he has already subconsciously regarded it as something in his pocket.
