Even though Wei Lingheng listened to the dark voice in the dream and came with the idea of meeting her, he was still uncontrollably shocked the moment the person in the dream came into view.
In the dream, when she was not showing her thorns, she was always delicate and charming. The head teeth of an unmarried girl were scattered, and her lips were pursed and she smiled like a little white jasmine flower. But in reality, she wore a woman's hair in a bun and looked reserved.
But when she was nervous, her eyelashes fluttered desperately, and her small movements were exactly the same as in her dream.
It never occurred to him that she was already married.
Because he often dreamed of her, and she was so close to him, he never thought that she would belong to someone else. If there is no her in this world, that's all. If there is, he will definitely accept her into the palace, so that she will not be tortured anymore, and she will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life.
But now that she is married, what should he do
After the robbery just now, she was still panicked, her face was pale, her black hair bun was slightly falling, and her hairpin was shaking.
Wei Lingheng took a step forward, and his boots broke the green grass, making a slight crisp sound.
"You call me Changfeng?"
Wen Ying was startled in a daze, as if waking up from a dream, and bowed to him anxiously, "You look like an old friend, and you bumped into each other unknowingly... I don't know how to call you, but thank you for saving your life. "
This estrangement also reminded Wei Lingheng.
He raised the steps and lowered them, and opened and closed the hands behind his back. He has never been hesitant in his life.
"It's nothing more than a little effort. It's not uncommon for people in the Jianghu to draw their swords to help when the road is uneven." He said lightly.
If it wasn't for the inappropriate venue, Wen Ying would almost burst out laughing.
Seeing injustice on the road and drawing his sword to help, Wei Lingheng really accepted the setting he gave
It's still... pretty cute.
"It turns out that the young master is a knight-errant!" Her eyes lit up.
Her words and expression seemed familiar, which immediately touched Wei Lingheng's mood.
He also thought of the "long wind" she blurted out. No one in the world knew his word except the closest ones. He couldn't help guessing, could she have had those dreams too
After a moment of hesitation, there were high and low shouts not far away.
"lady-"
Wen Ying looked back subconsciously, and then said to him: "I think the guards at home have come here. If you dare to name the young master, where do you live? When I go home and prepare a gift, I can thank the young master for saving his life..."
"There's no need for the ceremony, I don't know the name of the lady?"
She was startled: "My surname is Mingying Ying, and the small characters are Peipei..."
After finishing speaking, she turned her head in embarrassment, as if she couldn't understand why she would reveal the small words that showed intimacy with an outsider.
He laughed lowly, a little pleased. She still has the same temperament as in the dream, in front of people who make her feel comfortable, she is like a cat with its belly exposed.
The guards' shouts were almost in sight, Wen Ying responded in their direction, then turned her head, and there was no trace of Wei Lingheng.
Back outside the woods, leaving a mess.
After Wen Ying was robbed, the robbers saw that the task had been completed, and they fought and retreated, and ran away without a trace after a while.
As for Song Xi, he probably thought that he was done and that Wen Ying would have to wait at least a day and a night before returning. Before the guards went into the forest to find Wen Ying's whereabouts, he left in a carriage under the banner of going back to rescue the soldiers.
When she returned to Song's house, Wen Ying saw her walking and talking with Song Zheng. Song Zheng was walking out with a long sword in his hand, with a stern expression on his face.
Suddenly, the two looked up and saw her standing safely beside the corridor pillar. Song Xi's worried expression froze suddenly, as if he had seen a ghost.
"You, how did you come back..."
Song Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, and walked up to her to check: "I heard from Xi'er that you were attacked, are you injured?"
"It's just a bruise on my arm, it's not a problem." She didn't respond to him, but only looked at Song Xi with a smile, "By the way, I can return safely thanks to Xi'er."
For this matter, she entrusted Wei Lingheng with a dream to be prepared for any danger, even if there was no trouble, she could have an encounter with him.
But Song Xi has obviously gone to extremes, even if she does nothing, she will still treat her as the stepmother in her previous life. If you don't teach the little girl a lesson, there is absolutely no possibility of peaceful coexistence.
Song Xi was still in astonishment, but Song Zheng noticed something wrong on her face. .
"When I was arrested, it was thanks to Xi'er who took away a large number of guards that I led the criminals away. Otherwise, I don't know what will happen to me."
Her irony was so obvious that it was hard to ignore.
When Song Zheng heard this, he turned around and looked at Song Xi: "You took the guard away? Your mother was arrested, and you ran away alone?!"
"I didn't order them! They saw that my mother was lost, and they were afraid that I would not be able to explain to you if I lost it again, so they all followed me. What do I have-"
Before she could finish her sentence, she was suddenly slapped head-on and distorted her face!
"Okay, okay, this is my good daughter, Song Zheng!" Song Zheng was laughed at by her, "If your mother sees your current appearance, even if she is alive, she will be mad at you to death!"
This time, she met Song Xi's Ni Lin. She was still regretting what she said, but now she was only left with anger welling up in her head!
"What qualifications do you have to mention your mother! Right from wrong, honest from evil!" She sneered, "If my mother knew that you treated her daughter like this, she would definitely regret marrying you!"
Song Zheng was obviously stung, but facing this face that looked like his original wife, he finally said nothing and walked away.
Song Xi left his father angrily, not feeling happy at all. She looked coldly at Wen Ying: "Are you satisfied?"
"What am I satisfied with? Xi'er treats me like this, and I am very sad." Wen Ying said, "Don't blame your father for some things, he has done a lot for you, but you don't know it."
Song Xi hated her hypocrisy, "Father, how can I know myself. I know you don't like me, and I'm ready. If you have anything, just come to me. As long as you have a little conscience, you can Stop dealing with innocent people."
"Innocent people, who are you referring to?"
"Don't you know? Mama Zheng just doesn't like you, and she never hurt you!" She bit her lower lip, "Do you know how the Wen family dealt with her? Except for Xiaoyi's one-hundred-year-old stick, she has spent half of her life. His face was gone, and he was dying when he was carried back, almost out of breath."
Wen Ying listened, and Youyou smiled and sighed: "I didn't expect that I haven't seen you for many years, and my mother is still hot."
Song Xi paused for a moment before realizing that she was referring to his grandmother, and his chest heaved in anger for a moment.
"Good girl, are you innocent when you think of Zheng's mother? If she is innocent, then I am also innocent." Wen Ying approached her and whispered in her ear: "Could it be that you forgot who you were when you were a child?" Inciting you to deal with me in your ear, who told you that after my birth, you and your brother will be kicked out of the house. And who, after hearing these words, caused me to have a miscarriage... "
This is always the case in this world. I only remember how many injuries I have suffered and how many disappointments I have had, but I quickly forget the pain of others, even if it is caused by myself.
After hearing this, Song Xi took a big step back in shock, and immediately died down: "I really didn't do it on purpose at that time... You said you forgive me..."
She really didn't mean it. Although she didn't like her stepmother at the time, she never thought of harming her. It's just that she accidentally knocked her stepmother to the ground while playing, which caused her stepmother to have a miscarriage. Because of this guilt, she acquiesced in her stepmother's approach and care, and became intimate with her.
Thinking of this, she felt angry again: "If you didn't forgive me, why did you lie to me?!"
If the stepmother has been unwilling to forgive her, she will not get close to her, let alone listen to her nonsense, wrong step by step!
"I forgave you." Wen Ying said from the bottom of her heart, although Song Xi would not believe this side of the story.
If there were no subsequent events, the original owner would not have wanted to destroy her even if she had bruises in her heart.
Song Zheng personally sent someone to investigate the attack on the Buddhist temple. On the original track, Wen Ying was arrested, and he was distracted to save others. By the time of investigation, the traces had already been wiped clean.
Now that soldiers are expensive and fast, it really made him find clues, all of which point to Wenfu.
Thinking of Wen Ying's words, he felt a little relieved.
It was night, and Song Zheng rested in the upper room.
He slept late, and in the compartment specially prepared for him, he lit the lamp to watch the strategy of war. In the past, the original owner would always be by the side, even though she was not as knowledgeable as the original wife, and could not keep up with his thinking. I've gotten used to her presence.
But today Wen Ying went to sleep.
Song Zheng was not used to it, so he turned off the lights early and went back to the bedroom.
She usually sleeps on the outside, but today she lay on the inside with her back facing him. The snow-white tunic outlined her figure, and Song Zheng approached, smelling the sudden extra breath from her body, like the incense of Buddha, but a little softer.
It was probably stained when worshiping Buddha today.
Just as she was thinking, she turned over suddenly, opened her sleepy eyes, and met his gaze, with shallow dimples appearing on her cheeks, she smiled with him.
The beauty under the lamp is coquettish and hazy.
Her dimples were blushed due to her sound sleep, she didn't have to put on makeup and powder when she slept as before, and she washed it clean, it was as attractive as hibiscus dew.
"Going to sleep?" she asked.
"Yeah." He nodded in response. He rarely talked to her, and he couldn't say a word for a month when it was not necessary. After going to bed today, he didn't feel sleepy, so he couldn't help asking her, "Who saved you today? I need to come to thank you another day."
Unexpectedly, Wen Ying sat up suddenly after hearing this, and his brows frowned because of the violent movements.
"how?"
"It's nothing..." She seemed to suddenly realize that she had overreacted, and lay back on the bed again, slowly pulling up a little quilt, as if trying to hide her emotions, "I just... I thought you wouldn't ask, after all..."
After all, he may not care much about her, but he just can't stand his wife being taken away by force. Now that she is back, what else does it matter
Song Zheng didn't think there was anything wrong with her attitude before, but her reaction just now made him feel a little guilty.
He subconsciously avoided answering, and said instead: "I didn't see you by the side when I was reading today, but I'm tired? Why don't you go to bed earlier."
She didn't speak for a while, so he turned off the light in the bedroom and lay down.
The bedroom became quiet. In the darkness, her usual smiling voice came through the brocade quilt in a muffled voice: "I just... don't want to learn from Elder Sister anymore."
Gambling with books and throwing tea, and adding fragrance to the red sleeves are all things the original wife did. The original owner thought he liked it, and she just wanted to please him by following suit. But she didn't know that what he liked was not doing these things, but the person who did them together.
Song Zheng was slightly taken aback, and turned to look at her, only to see her black hair piled on the pillow like a cloud, and she had already turned to face the other side of the wall.
Wei Lingheng found out that Song Zheng, Minister of the Ministry of War, was particularly targeting his father-in-law's family in court recently.
He is not a nosy emperor, but based on his father-in-law's surname, he looked at it and threw the memorial aside: "What do you think he is doing?"
Wang Deyong did not dare to talk about the affairs of the court, he is a ghost, but he can see that His Majesty's thoughts are not here.
"Your Majesty, do you think this Wen family belongs to that lady..."
"What Xu she said refers to her husband's family name." Wei Lingheng answered very quickly, followed by a pause.
Wang Deyong saw that His Majesty was really thinking about this incident, although he was surprised that His Majesty took such a fancy to a woman, but it was his duty to serve the monarch, and he couldn't care about the reason.
"It's also simple. There are not many people with the surname Wen in the capital, and they went to offer incense that day, so it's easy to find out."
Wei Lingheng was surprised: "Who asked you to check?"
Wang Deyong looked innocent, he had never seen such a capricious majesty. If love between men and women is so entangled, he is really glad that he is a eunuch!
Wei Lingheng didn't expect a eunuch like him to understand his thoughts.
This was just a dream, if she was still in his boudoir, he would just let her into the palace because of his status. But she happened to be married as a woman. Judging from the guards, I am afraid that her husband is still an official in the court.
Taking wives from his courtiers is the work of a faint king, and he really doesn't want to.
Forget it, just treat it as a good dream, so why should he be persistent? Perhaps people simply do not want to break the calm.
Thinking about it this way, I still feel bad after all. Thinking of the Wen family's attitude towards her, he felt restless, seeing that the family surnamed Wen was particularly uncomfortable.
In this way, after glancing at the things revealed in the memorial, he took the lead in writing, and Zhu approved the word "Zhun Zuo".
It was a bolt from the blue when Uncle Wen learned that he had been demoted. After going around and finding out that it was my brother-in-law, I was so angry that I wanted to find someone to settle the score.
But when he knocked on the door, he didn't get justice, but he found out what his mother had done.
Colluding with gangsters, if this hat is buckled, it will be easy to lose the official position!
He had nowhere to vent his grievances, but he heard the news that the palace was going to hold a banquet for the selection of concubines by the third prince. His own daughter was about the same age as the third prince, his eyes rolled and he immediately started thinking.
At the same time, Song Zheng also told Wen Ying about the concubine selection banquet, and she would bring Song Xi into the palace.
