When they arrived at the Forbidden City, Song Qingshu waited outside the Kunning Palace after the eunuch passed it on. After a long time, no news came out. Song Qingshu thought that Empress Tong didn't want to see him, and was about to turn around and leave.
"My lord Song, stay here, the Empress invites you in." At this moment, the eunuch ran out and shouted.
Song Qingshu was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly realized that Queen Tong was killing her prestige, and there must be nothing good to eat later.
After entering the Kunning Palace, as expected by Song Qingshu, Empress Tong looked at herself with frost on her face without saying a word.
Although Song Qingshu was considered Kangxi's confidant, he had been traveling all the time, so this was the first time he saw Empress Tong's true face. Song Qingshu sized up Empress Tong without showing any trace, and saw that she was wearing a fiery red dress, the neckline was embroidered with a phoenix pattern with golden silk thread, and the skirt was embroidered with golden auspicious clouds. There is a bright pearl, and the bundle of tassels under the pearl hangs down gently, reflecting the pretty face extremely magnificent.
Song Qingshu secretly exclaimed that it was a pity, this Empress Tong looked sixty to seven percent similar to Guan Zhilin of the later generations, could this be regarded as passing through the generations? However, her face was full of frost, trying to show the majesty of the queen all the time, and she was doomed to lack Guan Zhilin's innate charm.
"I don't know why Commander Song is looking for this palace?" Empress Tong took a sip from her teacup and didn't look at him directly.
Seeing the long cloisonné finger cots on Queen Tong's fingers, Song Qingshu felt displeased. This phenomenon was common among nobles in the Qing Dynasty. He had asked Duolong quietly before, and learned that long nails were a symbol of status. They don't need to work. The cloisonne finger cots are used to protect the long nails. Song Qingshu from modern times can't understand this kind of weird aesthetics. He always feels like a fairy. The fairy here naturally refers to those in ghost stories. Terrible goblins, not those charming female goblins in "Liao Zhai".
"What a pity for such a beautiful body." Song Qingshu sighed secretly.
"I'm asking you something." Queen Tong said a little annoyed seeing Song Qingshu standing there, unable to keep silent.
"Your Majesty should know why the servant is looking for your Majesty." Song Qingshu answered calmly.
"Song Qingshu, you are so courageous!" Queen Tong raised her eyebrows, sat up straight, and stared straight at Song Qingshu.
Song Qingshu looked at her indifferently, without saying a word.
Empress Tong took a breath, waved her hand and said to the eunuch and maid, "You guys go down first."
"twitter!"
Seeing the eunuchs and maids walking out one after another, Song Qingshu said with a smile: "Your Majesty is quite courageous, aren't you afraid that my intentions will be wrong to you?" Right after she finished speaking, she felt a little regretful, and she was used to teasing Shuang'er, so she started talking It doesn't matter.
Hearing his words, Empress Tong was obviously taken aback, and she obviously didn't expect the slave in front of her to be so bold, and snorted coldly: "Do you know based on your words, as long as I tell the emperor Chapter 254 Sisters with similar looks but different personalities
, will you walk around without food? "
Song Qingshu was startled, he knew the mentality of those in power, kneeling down and begging for mercy was of no use at all. Now that things have come to an end, I have no choice but to bite the bullet and carry on: "Naturally, the empress will not bother the emperor with such trivial matters, so as not to appear that the empress does not care about the importance..."
"Are you threatening me?" Queen Tong knew that with her own status, as long as she was scared, these ministers would verbally beg for mercy, but she didn't expect Song Qingshu to act out of common sense. In fact, she knew very well in her heart that she was not one of those concubines who had just been favored and acted recklessly, but the master of the harem who was the mother of the world. It was too late to help the emperor solve his problems, so naturally it was impossible to bother him with such things.
"I dare not." Song Qingshu bowed respectfully.
Only then did Empress Tong nod in satisfaction, and suddenly said with a smile that was not a smile: "Recently people in the capital are saying that Commander Song is very lucky. He has been hanging around in the boudoir of the criminal minister Wei Xiaobao for a long time..."
Song Qingshu didn't wait for her to finish, and immediately interrupted: "This is just a malicious slander from ordinary people in the market. The officials and Mrs. Wei are innocent, and the world can learn from it. The reason why I linger in the Jiaofang Division is just to guard against Xiaoxiao. Just disciples."
As the Tong family member, Empress Tong naturally knew the purpose of his stay in Jiaofangsi. She would not really think that Song Qingshu and Shuang'er had anything to do with each other. After all, at their level, there was no woman they wanted. For a woman In her opinion, it is really incomprehensible for a person to ruin his reputation. But when he heard Song Qingshu's words, he couldn't help frowning: "Who do you say is a young man?"
"Your Majesty, why bother to ask the question?" Song Qingshu smiled, of course he wouldn't be so stupid as to say the name of Erlundai, anyway, he is also Queen Tong's cousin.
"You are really different from ordinary ministers." Empress Tong was taken aback for a moment, as if she was talking to herself, "Ordinary ministers who have arrived at Kunning Palace and saw this palace will be frightened. How can you talk and laugh freely like you..." Suddenly the conversation changed, and he stared at Song Qingshu and asked, "As a Han, Commander Song doesn't have the intention of staying in my Qing Dynasty for a long time?"
Song Qingshu secretly raised his vigilance, but he didn't expect that the other party could figure out his state of mind with just a few words. It seemed that Queen Tong was not as vase-like as she appeared on the surface. A traitor has already become the type that everyone shouts and beats. Fortunately, the emperor ignored the past and not only took in Song, but also entrusted him with a heavy responsibility. With such a great kindness, Song will not be guaranteed in this life, so how dare he have other thoughts."
Seeing Song Qingshu's fearful expression, Empress Tong nodded in satisfaction, but the curiosity about him that had just arisen in her heart disappeared immediately, and said in a cold voice: "I know the reason for your visit, but Wei Xiaobao's past words are suspected of insulting my grandfather. And Uncle, this retribution is deserved. If you come here to intercede for his family, you don’t need to open your mouth.”
Song Qingshu was secretly angry. For a long time, he had a similar appearance in Chapter 254, but different personalities.
Kangxi's hand is like a chess piece, but Kangxi is not a chess piece in his own hand. Although Tong Jia is a queen, but there are many heroes in the world today. , suppressed his anger, and said lightly: "In this case, I will not disturb your mother's rest." After speaking, he turned around and left, leaving Queen Tong on the spot alone.
Not long after he left the house, he almost bumped into a beautiful woman in a palace costume. When he looked up, he saw that it was Xiao Tong, and he quickly apologized: "I almost ran into the imperial concubine, and I hope she will forgive me."
Xiao Tong took a step back, a blush appeared on her pretty face, and she said in surprise, "So it's you, and you're here to find my sister?"
"En." Song Qingshu nodded angrily, because of Elundai and Queen Tong, he even disliked the little Queen Tong.
Noticing his expression, Empress Xiao Tong was not angry, and asked softly, "Did you ask my sister for something, but she didn't agree?"
Song Qingshu was stunned for a moment, looking at the solemn and naive young concubine in front of him, he nodded subconsciously. In Song Qingshu's view, Queen Tong is not as sophisticated as her older sister, and maybe he can take advantage of her sympathy, so Then he briefly talked about Shuang'er's affairs.
"I've also heard about Sister Shuang'er, and I think it's too much. The grievances between the Tong family and Wei Xiaobao should never be involved in her. But don't blame my sister. Her honor to the Tong family is higher than that. He takes everything seriously, so naturally he won't treat you well." Xiao Tonghou pursed his lips and smiled, "Leave this matter to me, and I will take care of it."
"That's right, it's more convenient for you sisters to talk." Only then did Song Qingshu have the time to carefully look at her appearance, which was very similar to her sister, but her face was more delicate. Damn, with two Guan Zhilins, Kangxi is not afraid to die of exhaustion on the bed, Song Qingshu slandered endlessly in his heart.
Although Xiao Tong noticed his weird expression, she didn't know the filth in his heart, and shook her head: "This matter doesn't make sense with my sister, I will tell the emperor when I find a chance, as long as the emperor nods, Shuang Er My sister is naturally fine."
"I don't know when the empress can tell the emperor?" Song Qingshu also knew that he was very rude to ask, but now, he doesn't care so much, "The empress should know that places like Jiaofangsi are completely reserved for women. Moku, not to mention your cousin, has been... hehe."
Little Empress Tong was naturally aware of what her cousin Elundai had done, but she didn't expect Song Qingshu to be so relentless in pursuit. Looking around, seeing that the eunuchs and maids were far away from him, she said quietly: "The emperor talked to me before. I told you that tonight I will look... I will look at my brand." After saying this, her ears turned red, and after leaving this sentence, she hurried into the house to find her sister.
Song Qing was stupefied, he didn't expect Empress Xiao Tong to reveal such secret things to him, he didn't know if it was because she was too innocent, or because she was born a fool. Chapter 254: Sisters with Similar Faces but Different Personalities
The flop system of the ancient emperors was just to prevent the emperor from favoring only one person, so that the beauties of the harem would be covered with rain and dew. However, the actual operation is often not so fair. The emperor always has a special favorite woman. He's not a fool, so he naturally understands what the emperor means, and with his hands and feet, he can make the emperor find the concubine he wants, for example, the same person is written on each sign...
"The pets in this harem are really unpredictable. A while ago, didn't Kangxi love Concubine Mi the most, why did he suddenly become Queen Tong?" Song Qingshu shook his head, dispelled the thoughts in his mind, and strode forward Walking outside the palace, now we can only wait for news from Queen Tong.
That night in Jingren Palace, Kangxi couldn't help frowning when he heard what Xiao Tong said, "Don't worry about this kind of thing."
Little Empress Tong said softly: "Your Majesty, the courtiers and concubines don't want to worry about it, but they just feel that the Emperor's handling of this matter is quite inappropriate."
"I heard that you met Song Qingshu today, he asked you to come to me?" Kangxi asked impatiently.
