After having a child, Song Song's mood was obviously much better. Although he was in a good mood before, this time he was a little excited and happy.
Since the attack on the Son of Heaven Pagoda, the worship of Song Song among the people in the mansion has risen.
"Speaking of that day, the mad king roared loudly: 'Come on!', and went straight to arrest the mad woman. The mad woman fled into the crowd in a panic, so how could the bloodthirsty mad king let her go! Immediately With a loud shout, he flew into the sky and kept following him, but there was a sea of people under the Tianzi Pagoda, and the mad woman was like a fish swimming into the water, where can you catch it, the mad king's killing intent was surging, and he was about to start killing—" Mr. Storyteller took a shot At the table, everyone held their breaths: "At this moment! Princess Ping suddenly appeared with the figure of Shengguang, he ran away from everyone, and went to the mad king... That's it, a few soft words. , and the situation will be completely restored!"
Someone in the audience immediately applauded and shouted, "Princess Shengde!!"
"As the saying goes, one thing falls to one thing, this mad king is also a fortune when he meets the princess!"
"You don't know what kind of person the Mad King was in the past. When he was nine years old, he accompanied His Majesty to receive foreign envoys. People from other races praised him for his phoenix appearance and dragon appearance. Insane."
"I know about this. That alien is blond and blue-eyed, which is very different from our country's aesthetics. When he left, he said that the beauty of the big man should be the prince!"
"And this thing?"
"That's natural. He was extremely smart when he was a child. He was able to write at the age of three, and martial arts at the age of five. The great master Yan Tianya decided to accept him as the true biography when he first saw him!"
"If the real princess can be a good medicine, it will be a beautiful thing for me!"
"If he's not crazy, maybe he's already on..."
"Xiaotai be careful!"
The tea shop was in a mess. The blue-clothed youth sitting in the corner listened quietly. After a while, he put down a piece of silver, turned and walked out. , people lined up in a long line in front, and there are still several people maintaining order: "Don't cut the line, everyone has a share!"
"Everyone has a share. Didn't they all get robbed yesterday?" Someone was dissatisfied: "I came yesterday, why can't I cut the queue?"
"I came and waited early in the morning, and I haven't been in the queue yet. Look at how many people are ahead!"
The young man looked puzzled. Seeing that someone came out with a long tube in front of him, the servant immediately stepped forward and asked, "This big brother, what did you buy? Why is everyone lining up?"
The eldest brother was beaming: "You don't know the portrait of the princess, do you? This is the most useful living Bodhisattva this year. It can keep people safe and save lives!"
The young man looked stunned, and the servant asked again, "Which princess is that?"
"Naturally, it is Princess Ping who saved Wanmin in front of Tianzi Pagoda!"
"How much is this painting?"
"Thirty taels of silver! It was only one tael yesterday, and three taels today. It's uncertain whether the price will go up tomorrow. If you want to buy it, hurry up!"
The little servant walked back to the young man in a daze, seeing his helpless smile on his face, and said, "His Royal Highness, this..."
Li Yang said, "Go back."
He walked around the crowd, but suddenly there was a voice in his ear: "Now His Royal Highness Prince Ping is in the limelight, I don't know, I thought His Majesty was going to abolish the prince again."
Li Yang's expression did not change, but he turned his head to the side, but found a young man with a smile: "Sir, be careful, be careful to be heard by someone with a heart, and it will lead to death."
The man cupped his hands at Li Yang and said, "I dare to ask the young master if you have time to talk about it?"
"No." Li Yang turned around and left without looking back. The servant hurriedly followed him. Seeing that his expression was unusually calm from beginning to end, he couldn't help saying, "Now that the princess is so popular, should we do something?"
Li Yang looked solemn: "What do you want to do?"
"Smallly, do you want to find some ways to find the Empress?"
"This matter does not need to disturb the mother."
After taking the carriage back to the East Palace, suddenly there was a horse in front of the door. The prince's expression softened, and he walked in. He really saw a familiar person: "Five children are here, look at the tea."
Li Qing sat down opposite him and said, "I saw the portrait of the Queen's Sister-in-law on the street today. It seems to have started yesterday afternoon."
"We don't need to worry about this matter, the emperor will not sit idly by."
"After the Tianzi Pagoda incident, Mrs. Song suddenly went crazy, and then someone started to spread the news about the innocence of the emperor's sister-in-law and the talent of the emperor's brother. I always feel that there is some pusher behind the scenes."
"The third aunt went crazy and stigmatized the royal sister-in-law. It was what the father and the king saw with his own eyes. He has always loved the royal brother, and naturally he will not sit idly by."
"I think she wasn't crazy that day, and she started to be crazy when she got out of prison."
Li Yang laughed and said, "The third aunt has been charming since she was a child, but she was naturally timid. If she wasn't crazy, why would she go to the Tianzi Tower to do such a thing?"
Li Qing was silent for a moment, then said: "If the eldest brother is still interested in the throne... what should you do?"
It seemed that he didn't expect him to ask such a straightforward question, so Li Yang was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I don't know how I came to be the crown prince... He was originally more suitable for that position than me, and in the eyes of the father as well. , if he wants it, I'll give it up."
Li Qing suddenly smiled and said, "He is indeed more suitable than you."
In the afternoon, a team of officers and soldiers suddenly dispersed the people who were queuing in front of the bookstore, and rode on a high-headed horse headed by one, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and the faint glances in their eyes, all of which carried a somewhat indifference to themselves.
The owner of the bookstore hurriedly came out and saluted: "His Royal Highness Ping, I didn't know that His Royal Highness is coming, and I have missed a distance to welcome him. I hope you forgive me."
When Song Song came over in the carriage, the bookstore was already surrounded by circles, and people around were whispering, "The mad king seems to have come in person, now Boss Liao is finished..."
"A good book doesn't sell any living Bodhisattva, and I don't even think about it. Are the Bodhisattvas offered by other people's homes willing to let you sell them?"
Song Song probed from inside the carriage.
Now that he found out that he was pregnant, he was even more afraid that he would get sick from the cold, so now he is more tightly wrapped than before when going out, and almost all his delicate white face is hidden in a furry hood. See the bridge of the nose.
But the carriage of the palace would not admit its mistake. As soon as he came down, the content of the surrounding discussions immediately changed.
"Is that Princess Ping?"
"Look at this figure, this temperament, it really deserves to be a living Bodhisattva!"
"No wonder the Mad King can be held in the palm of his hand."
"Don't, don't squeeze..." A woman was suddenly pushed in front of Song Song, he bent down to help him up, and said warmly, "Are you alright?"
The woman nodded hurriedly, blushed and retreated, and the surrounding voices became almost inaudible. Bai Yan stepped forward to say hello, and the surrounding officers and soldiers immediately gave up their seats.
The bookstore that opened the door just now has a side door half-closed. I don't know, I thought Li Xiao was killing it. Song Song pushed the door and walked in, and saw Li Xiao sitting on a chair at a glance. Zhang looked at the scroll one by one, and in front of him were more than a dozen people kneeling with their heads on the ground, shivering and sweating profusely.
He called out, "Your Highness."
Seeing him come in, the eyes of those individuals immediately burst into hope, and Li Xiao also raised his head. In the next second, his somewhat playful and cold face suddenly softened. Putting the scroll down, he walked over and grabbed his hand, saying, "Why did you come here?"
"I also heard the news, so I came over to have a look."
Li Xiao raised his eyebrows and said, "This bookstore is selling at the front and painting at the back. Look, all the ten tables and chairs are used by the painter, and they are still in batches. After one batch finishes painting, they rest, and the next batch follows. Come on, take turns to take over, just like this, the supply is still in short supply, and when this king comes over, only these are left that have not had time to paint."
Song Song walked over, picked up a relatively complete picture scroll and looked at it, and found that these people actually gave him a golden light around his body, a red dot on his forehead, and fluttering white clothes, except for the face and hair accessories. It really looks like a Buddha.
"What is your Highness going to do?"
"Naturally it was all burned."
As soon as he finished speaking, a guy next to Boss Liao suddenly burst into tears: "I beg your lord, please spare your life! I have an 80-year-old mother and a 3-year-old baby. I beg your lord to forgive me, and we will never do it again. Dare!"
Boss Liao immediately pushed him hard, and said angrily, "Your Highness is talking about burning, not killing, burning paintings, not killing!"
After he finished speaking, seeing Li Xiao's half-smile but not smiling face, he immediately lost his smile, "He heard it wrong, he quarreled with the prince, and asked the prince to forgive him."
Li Xiao's expression did not change, but his voice showed a coldness: "It's not an exaggeration to spread the portraits of noble people and kill you."
Boss Liao twitched and swallowed, realizing that Song Song was also looking at him, and suddenly showed a look of help.
Song Song retracted his gaze and said, "I looked at this portrait, although it bears my name, it is not exactly the same as me. I thought it was a bit of a blessing, so I added some ink."
Boss Liao immediately said: "What the princess said is that the princess' status is very precious. Even if we have the courage, we would never dare to spread the portraits of real people, but we are really poor, so we came up with such an idea to make money. some money."
Song Song looked at Li Xiao and said, "Otherwise, one person can hit twenty boards and burn the painting."
"The rest of the portraits must be recovered as soon as possible." Li Xiao glanced at the boss and said, "Don't let this king find out a second time."
He ordered all the portraits to be burned. After pulling Song Song out, he abandoned his horse and accompanies him to the car. He asked, "What are you going to do?"
"I think this boss Liao has a good brain..." Before he finished speaking, he noticed that Li Xiao was displeased and said, "I also wanted to come over and let him burn the portrait."
"Actually, you want to come over and talk to him about the price to continue selling, right?"
"..." Song Song moved his butt from side to side, Li Xiao suddenly stretched out his hand, he just took out a long tube from his hand, and said, "Have you seen it?"
"Look... it's actually not that much like me."
"So you originally wanted to come and do business with him?"
Song Song smiled, obediently having no interface. Of course he knew that Li Xiao was thinking about his safety, and that the portrait might cause some uncontrollable trouble. When he heard about it, he thought the boss was really bold, but after looking at the portrait, he realized that this guy wanted to make money and return home. If you want to make money, you still want your life. The above picture of him is only three or four points like himself. When he heard that a painting actually cost one or two to three taels of silver, he wanted to come and have a look, but Li Xiaobi didn't think so. He was one step ahead.
Li Xiao couldn't help pinching his face. Song Song slightly shrank his head and frowned. Knowing that he was not happy, he didn't dare to resist. , Li Xiao was reluctant to continue, took his hand back, and said, "Go to Shengguo Temple tomorrow to worship, and ask God to forgive you for pretending to be a Bodhisattva, so as not to lose your life."
Song Song couldn't help but chuckle, nodded and said, "Okay."
Li Xiao looked at his abdomen: "I have to let him have a story."
Song Song's palm moved down, his lips curved and said, "Now that I am a living Bodhisattva, this story is much easier to make up."
On the second day, Song Song went to Shenglong Temple together with Li Xiao. When he came back, someone in the tea shop suddenly said mysteriously: "Have you heard? Princess went to Shenglong Temple to meet her. Here comes the miracle!"
"What miracle?"
"According to the miracle, the princess will soon spread its branches as a man as a royal family! Our princess, came to the world with a mission!"
"Yeah, I heard that God couldn't bear to see the mad king buried, so he sent the concubine to rescue him, so that he could stay awake for the rest of his life and do his best for Qianguo."
"Let me tell you, as soon as I saw the princess, I knew he was not a simple person!"
When the rumors became more and more dangling, there was a burst of laughter in the Queen's Palace, the Queen had not laughed so arrogantly and rudely for a long time, she was almost out of breath: "They really treat everyone in Kyoto as fools. Can't it? From portraits to miracles, each rumor is more evil than the other. Can Song Song's portrait keep the family safe? With his body, can he spread branches and leaves for the royal family?! Hahahahaha!"
The maid beside her also laughed and said, "What are they trying to do with such a thing?"
"What are you doing?" The Queen said quietly, "Let's just wait and watch the show."
"Let's not do something?"
"What do you want to do?"
"I heard that Zhao Taishi firmly believed in this, and bet 2,000 taels of gold in the casino."
The queen's eyes changed, and her expression was a little dignified: "Taishi Zhao bet?"
For a while, she couldn't figure out whether this matter was true or not, and after thinking about it, there was a sudden flash in her eyes: "He wants to use the Tianzi Tower to turn himself into a miracle and let the foolish people follow, I'm afraid this will open the door. The matter of loose leaves... At that time, he will have to borrow someone else's stomach, Li Xiao, Li Xiao, he can really come up with any ideas now, do you think that with Song Song, he will be able to return to the crown of the prince?"
"Then why did the Taishifu bet?"
"It's natural to have an official attitude in this matter, in order to convince those foolish people to believe it."
"My lady is wise."
"Since they dare to lie, they should suffer the consequences of being backlashed after the matter is made public. You immediately send someone to check to see if there are any pregnant women with limited mobility in the palace."
"Yes."
"Wait a minute." She thought for a moment, then said: "Since the Grand Master's mansion dares to play, we will play a big game with him."
"You mean, let's bet too?"
"Let the Xiangfu do it, add a thousand taels, and bet it, this is a rumor." She faintly smiled: "Bengong wants to see how they plan to end."
