Hearing someone coming, the two girls got up from his arms in an instant, stood aside and straightened their clothes, and quickly returned to their previous respectful appearance.
Song Qingshu frowned slightly, but thinking that there were many rules in the palace and they were used to it, he didn't say anything else.
At this moment, a middle-aged woman walked into the hall. Although her face was covered with traces of time, she could still vaguely imagine how beautiful she was when she was young.
"I've met my lady." The rules still couldn't be ignored, Song Qingshu also got up and saluted.
"King Qi doesn't need to be too polite." Concubine Jia smiled slightly, her tone was a bit familiar, "I heard that King Qi came to see the two princesses, so I came here specially to take a look, so I won't disturb you."
At this time, Zhao Yuanyuan and Zhao Hu'er also hurriedly saluted, Song Qingshu replied: "Your Majesty's words are serious, of course not."
Concubine Jia enthusiastically helped the two princesses up, and at the same time took off two jade bracelets from her wrists: "You young people have not seen each other for so long, you must keep the pain of lovesickness, and you have a lot to say, I shouldn't Come to bother me, but there are too many things happening recently, King Qi is always busy, I am worried that there will be no opportunities in the future, so I came here looking for this opportunity."
Concubine Jia paused for a moment and continued to hold the hands of the two princesses and said: "The two royal sisters are married, so naturally I, the sister-in-law, can't express anything. These two bracelets were given to me by the Queen Mother when I got married. This will be forwarded to the two of you, I wish you an early birth to your precious son and grow old together.”
Zhao Yuanyuan blushed slightly, and replied shyly, "Thank you, ma'am."
Zhao Hu'er at the side muttered in a low voice: "We are usually ignored in the palace, but now he comes here to show us courteousness uncharacteristically, it can be described as rape or robbery."
Her voice was ambiguous, and she deliberately lowered the volume. Only Song Qingshu's level of cultivation could hear her clearly, and she immediately understood the purpose of Concubine Jia's visit.
Concubine Jia took the two princesses to greet each other affectionately for a while, and gradually brought the topic to what happened on Wudang Mountain: "King Qi, how did my younger brother die at that time, can you tell me more about the situation at that time?"
"King Yi conspired against him and gathered a large number of masters to put all their eggs in one basket. The timing was very good. It happened to be the time when the guards around the officials were the weakest. Fortunately, Jia Xiang desperately guarded him at this critical moment..." Song Qingshu said while saying the words he had prepared. Sneered secretly, thinking that Jia Sidao's rebellion, I don't believe you don't know at all.
During the whole process, Concubine Jia's complexion changed frequently, and she would occasionally ask about the details of the mountain. Fortunately, Song Qingshu had already memorized this set of rhetoric by heart along the way, so it would not be possible to slip up.
"My brother deserved to die." Concubine Jia wiped the tears from her cheeks, she really looked like a family member of a loyal minister and martyr.
"The court's dedication to Jia Xiang's posthumous title is an affirmation of his loyalty." Song Qingshu said in cooperation.
"The imperial court treated our Jia family well." Concubine Jia was quite satisfied when she heard the word "loyalty" in her posthumous title.
Song Qingshu shook his head secretly. Compared with her younger brother, Concubine Jia's knowledge is too shallow. The posthumous title of Zhongxian is not a good posthumous title. Qin Hui was also given this posthumous title after his death.
"By the way, how is the official house doing now? It's really my wife's fault for not going to see it after coming back for so long." Concubine Jia wiped her tears with a handkerchief, looked into the back room, and took advantage of the opportunity to go in.
Song Qingshu thought it was time to get down to business, and hurriedly stopped in front of her: "Your Majesty, forgive me, the official's family was seriously injured during this trip, and they are resting now, so they can't bear to be disturbed."
"Don't worry, I'll just take a look at it from a distance, and I won't disturb the officials." Concubine Jia said with a smile.
Song Qingshu still shook his head: "The government has already issued an order, and no one is seen."
The smile on Concubine Jia's face gradually faded, and her eyebrows also raised: "You don't even see me?"
"This is what the officials mean," Song Qing wrote expressionlessly, "Your Majesty, don't make it difficult for me." It is not easy to control Zhao Gou to speak according to his own ideas as clearly as in the court before. It is okay to use the soul-shifting method with medicine occasionally for a short period of time. If it is often like this, Zhao Gou's current physical condition cannot withstand the toss, so most of the time he can only "confine" Zhao Gou.
Under such circumstances, it is natural not to allow Zhao Gou to meet with other people.
"Is it the official's intention or yours!" Over the years, because of her younger brother, Concubine Jia's status has also risen, and she has already developed a character of being unambiguous in the harem. Just now, she suppressed her temper and had a pleasant face with him, but now she is hindered a little. , Immediately, the old habits sprouted, "It's only natural for a wife to visit her husband, why are you obstructing her?"
"The royal family is different from ordinary families. Even their sons will rebel, so naturally they have to take precautions against their wives." Song Qingshu said lightly.
Concubine Jia knew that he was gagging her about King Yi's treason, but if she could sit firmly in the harem, she would not give up so easily, so she immediately replied: "If my wife and son can't believe it, can't you, an outsider? Is it gone?"
Zhao Yuanyuan on the side couldn't help but said: "Brother Song is not an outsider, but the brother-in-law of the official family!"
"Yo, you haven't married yet, and you turned your elbows away?" Concubine Jia glanced at her, and said with a bit of yin and yang.
Being hit by her like this, Zhao Yuanyuan's eye circles instantly turned red, and Zhao Hu'er immediately quit. She wanted to stand up for her sister, but she was desperately held back by her. It's not a joke if she commits the following crimes, she doesn't want to make it difficult for her lover.
Seeing that the two women were wronged, Song Qingshu was also a little annoyed, and said in a deep voice: "Why didn't you go to see the official's family, and how did Jia Sidao die? open?"
A nanny next to Concubine Jia stepped forward and scolded angrily: "You son of a bitch, how dare you be rude to your mother?"
Song Qingshu frowned slightly. Before the people around could see what happened, they found that the old woman had already fallen on the ground with blood in her mouth and was talking indistinctly. It was obvious that all her teeth had been knocked out, causing air leakage.
Song Qing's writing was as deep as water: "This time, I want to save her life for the sake of the empress. If there is a next time..." He didn't say anything later, but the threat was palpable.
Concubine Jia and her group realized that besides being the King of Qi, he was also a great master of martial arts. If he really wanted to do something, no one in the entire palace would be able to stop him.
After trying to understand this point, Concubine Jia lost most of her courage, and left a sentence with a bit of sternness: "You are ruthless." After speaking, she turned around and left with her entourage.
"No." Song Qingshu said lightly.
Only then did Zhao Huer come to her senses, and ran over to hold his arm: "Brother Song, you are so majestic just now, that Nanny Lai is bullying other little maids in the harem all day long because of her power and because she is the confidant of Concubine Jia. , even we are sometimes angry with her."
Song Qingshu raised his brows: "Then it seems that the beating was mild just now."
"Enough is enough," Zhao Yuanyuan glared at her younger sister who was afraid of chaos, her brows were full of worry, "Concubine Jia has been covering the sky with one hand in the palace in recent years, and now you have offended her so hard, I'm afraid..."
"It doesn't matter, anyway, if you are not a person along the way, you will be offended sooner or later." Song
Qing Shu didn't take it seriously.
Zhao Hu'er threw the bracelet in her hand to the ground: "This bad woman, I don't want her bracelet." On the other side, Zhao Yuanyuan also took off the bracelet silently.
"I'll give you better ones some other day." Song Qingshu was smiling, but his heart was full of pain: Even if you don't want it, don't break it, it's enough for ordinary people to live for a lifetime, these prodigal girls.
Besides, when Concubine Jia returned to the palace, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she smashed countless teacups and vases. Another nanny beside her whispered, "Madam, why don't you inform the people in Jia's house?" Nanny Lai was sent to be treated , This is Nanny Li, another confidant of Concubine Jia.
"The two masters are gone, what can the younger generation in Jia's mansion do?" Thinking of the current situation of Jia's mansion, Concubine Jia's face became gloomy, "If the two masters are still here, how dare the one named Song do this!"
"Where are the masters of the Shi family and the Xue family?" Nanny Li continued.
Concubine Jia's eyes suddenly brightened: "This is a way!" But she quickly sat down again: "But now the inside and outside of the palace are controlled by the surname Song, we can't get out at all, and we can't even send letters."
Nanny Li chuckled and said, "Isn't that all we need to do is drive away the one surnamed Song?"
"What can you do?" Concubine Jia asked curiously.
"In all the dynasties, I have never heard of it..." Nanny Li whispered in Concubine Jia's ear.
Concubine Jia quickly turned her anger into joy: "It's very good, very good!"
"But the problem is that the news can't be sent out now." Nanny Li frowned.
"Don't worry, you can think of it. Those two old foxes, Shi Miyuan and Xue Ji, can't think of it, hahaha." Concubine Jia laughed wantonly.
Let's say that Shi Miyuan was discussing with an old man with fine hair in the study outside the palace: "Father, it's really wise that you didn't go to Wudang Mountain together this time due to illness."
The white-haired old man is naturally Shi Hao, the emperor. Hearing this, he stroked his beard and smiled: "Shi Xian is just too greedy. The Jia family is already the first family, but he still wants to reach the sky in one step. Naturally, I don't want to go there." This is muddy water, otherwise it will be a question of who to help at that time. Fortunately, I didn’t go, otherwise so many great masters died on Wudang Mountain, I’m afraid I won’t be able to come back.”
Although he has always been proud of his martial arts, he knows that he is still a little short of a great master.
"The situation is better for us now." Shi Miyuan was obviously in a good mood. "The Jia family has been dominating them all these years. Now that the Jia family is over, the power vacuum under their hands will naturally be taken by us."
Shi Hao couldn't help but said: "But so far, the one surnamed Song is the biggest winner." He is better at martial arts, and is far inferior to his son in terms of power and strategy.
Shi Miyuan shook his head: "He's just a tree without roots. The current prosperity is only on the surface, without the foundation of the government, he will be driven away soon. No, maybe he will leave in despair tomorrow."
Shi Hao had a worried expression on his face: "As the saying goes, the one with the surname Song is a grand master after all. If he offends him badly, I'm afraid we won't have a good time."
"Don't worry, I'm not such a person who doesn't know the importance." Shi Miyuan smiled slightly: "The most anxious thing now is the crown prince, and I don't need to take action at all. Of course, in order to prevent them from being too stupid to miss the opportunity, I specially sent someone to pretend Inadvertently reminded those old scholars around him. Although Zhen Dexiu and Wei Liaoweng are annoying on weekdays, they are really the most suitable for doing this, hahaha... "
In the early morning of the second day, Song Qingshu wanted to feel what it was like to be the top leader of the imperial court, but the first memorial he received was to impeach him.
