"It is possible to say that a scholar is lazy, but that a woman is lazy cannot be explained." [The Book of Songs·Meng]
Song Du was caught and walked out timidly. She knew that she had made a mistake by coming to the announcement room without authorization, but she never expected to bump into Princess Wannian directly in the announcement room.
The gentle expression on Liu Jiang's face gradually turned cold, and he looked at Song Du calmly.
The emperor said calmly: "I wonder why Mu Shun went so slowly. It turns out you were hiding and eavesdropping. Come and sit down."
Song Du walked over cautiously, bypassed Liu Jiang, and sat at the emperor's left hand. After such an interruption, Song Du, who originally had a lot to say in his heart, felt like something was stuck in his throat and could not say anything.
When the emperor saw that she was silent, he thought she was afraid, so he smiled and pulled Song Du into his arms, and said kindly: "You have really grown up, and you know how to sneak out of Yeting, so you are not afraid that the emperor will know about it."
Reprimand you?"
Upon hearing this, Song Du immediately repeated what Guo Cainv taught her on the way here: "I heard that brother Emperor, you almost encountered an accident among the people, and I felt uneasy, so I wanted to come to see you."
"It's not impossible for you to come to see me." The emperor asked, "Why don't you go through Ye Ting's order instead of meeting me privately?"
Speaking of this, Song Du immediately started to cry aggrievedly. She cried out: "Yeting Ling won't let me come out no matter what. I haven't seen the emperor's brother for a long time. What's wrong with wanting to see you? Emperor.
Brother, do you know that after hearing that incident, I was so frightened that I couldn’t even eat, I was really worried to death.”
Song Du's words copied Guo Cainu's advice, and inevitably contained Guo Cainu's private goods, which was suspected of slandering Miao Si, the leader of Yeting.
The emperor said noncommittally: "You are not allowed to come in and out of the front hall at will. This is the responsibility of Ye Tingling. If you know this rule, you should not resent him. If you want to see me next time, you need to inform Yeting in advance.
Order, please don’t come in or out without permission like today.”
"Yes..." Song Du agreed in a low voice.
Liu Jiang interjected with a hint of dissatisfaction: "You should say "Jinnuo", how can you say "yes" like ordinary people do."
When responding, it is said to be "nuo" when responding slowly, and "wei" when responding quickly. Generally, only "nuo" is used when talking to subordinates or between peers, and "jinnuo" is used when someone is humble and respectful. The emperor has always been tolerant to others, and sometimes others use only one "
It's okay to reply with the word "nuo".
At this time, Liu Jiang felt uncomfortable because Song Du was good at making opinions, so he took the opportunity to teach Song Du a lesson.
Song Du was scolded by Liu Jiang and sobbed: "Yes... ah no, Jinnuo!"
The emperor smiled and couldn't help but reply: "Okay, I won't do this next time."
Liu Jiang had no choice but to stand up and said, "It's getting late. I'll go back first. Your Majesty, please rest early."
After saying that, Liu Jiang stood there and looked towards Song Capital, his intention self-evident.
Song Du didn't want to just go back like this. She finally met the emperor and had a lot of things to say. How could she just leave like this? Besides, if she just went back with Liu Jiang like this, there would be a lecture on the way. She just kept her head down.
She kept her head silent and rubbed her skirt with both hands.
Liu Jiang's brows gradually wrinkled.
Song Du endured the glare from Liu Jiang on his head and kept thinking in his heart: Why doesn't the emperor brother say anything? Please coax her away.
"That's all, it's rare for her to come here once, so let me have a good talk with her. If it's getting late, it's okay to just sleep here."
"Your Majesty..." Liu Jiang winked at the emperor.
The emperor had other plans and quietly made a gesture of silence. Liu Jiang had no choice but to swallow his words again.
"I asked Mu Shun to send the imperial sister back."
As soon as he went out, Liu Jiang met Guo Cainu. He immediately understood the cause and effect, and asked with a sneer: "Did you bring Mr. Song to the front hall?" Without waiting for her to answer, Liu Jiang said to himself: "You
He really knows how to come up with ideas.”
In the absence of a queen mother or empress, Princess Wannian Liu Jiang was like the Princess of Egai during the reign of Emperor Xiaozhao, temporarily taking charge of the harem and shouldering the heavy responsibility of taking care of the emperor.
Because his mother and concubine were not favored, and he was not taken seriously when he was young, Liu Jiang developed a sophisticated and indifferent character. Although he did not directly govern people like Guo Cainu in the palace, through the use of Miao Si in the Yeting Order,
Everyone is still afraid of this princess who can't control her preferences.
Song Du was innocent, and compared to the honest Fu Shou, he was the most popular, but he was soft-tempered and easily listened to what others said. This time, in order to comply with her wishes, Guo Cainv gave him a little instigation, and Song Du dared to break into the front hall without permission.
, then if you become more favored in the future and there are more slanderous people around you, wouldn’t it mean that you will harm others and yourself?
Guo Cainv broke into a cold sweat and said hurriedly: "Your Highness, how dare I make my own decision? I just can't bear to see your nobleman worrying..."
She didn't dare to shirk the responsibility on Song Du, so she simply took it all on her and acted like a loyal servant.
Liu Jiang just fell into this trap, she thought; if her mother had such a loyal servant by her side when she was dying, how could she delay medical treatment because of Queen He's obstruction?
Thinking of this, Liu Jiang's tone became softer: "Just wait here. If there is a next time, I won't spare you."
The emperor was not as enlightened as Liu Jiang thought. Although he liked Song Du, his affection for Song Du was just like that of a brother to his sister. This time, he did not have any criminal intentions in leaving Song Du overnight.
It's just because he often doesn't go to Yeting, so he wanted to take this opportunity to talk to Song Du more.
Song Du didn't think much about it. He was so excited as he lay on the emperor's bed. He even forgot that he came here to visit the emperor and to persuade the emperor to leave the palace incognito. He just kept talking to the emperor.
Well, for example, Ye Ting ordered Miao Si not to allow her to play and play, and he had to follow rules for everything. For example, Fu Shou was only two years older than her, and always liked to pretend to be an adult, but Song Du had forgotten the fact that Princess Wannian was only sixteen years old.
Throughout the conversation, the emperor listened more and spoke less. He responded occasionally, and occasionally asked insinuatingly about the situation in Ye Ting and the nature of everyone.
For example, in the eyes of the emperor, Miao Si was a eunuch, a scholar at heart, and did not please the emperor. He was only kept in order to check and balance Mu Shun. Unexpectedly, in the eyes of the Song Dynasty, although Miao Si was dull, he dealt with all his subordinates.
It is reasonable and well-founded. Although the Song Dynasty did not like the severity of Miao Si, it did not hate him too much.
Seeing Song Du's curved eyebrows when she talked about funny things, the emperor couldn't help but reach out and tickle her nose. Song Du blinked and let the emperor shave her nose.
"Brother Emperor." Song Du finally lost his energy and yawned.
The emperor was still waiting for her words. When he saw that she was silent for a long time, he realized that she had fallen asleep, so he turned over and tucked her into bed.
Song Du was mumbling something in his sleep. The emperor paused and listened with bated breath.
I just heard Song Du say: "When will you take me to Shanglinyuan to ride horses?"
The next day, when Song Du woke up, there was no trace of the emperor. When he asked, he learned that he had gone to Chengming Palace. Song Du felt a little depressed. At this time, Guo Cainv came in from outside and wanted to help Song Du wash up and change clothes.
When Song Du saw Guo Cainu, he felt better and said with a smile: "Brother Emperor said a lot to me yesterday."
Guo Cainv was outside all night, and she heard clearly everything that happened inside. She couldn't help but laugh in her heart and said, "When you grow up, you won't feel that it's okay to only talk to the emperor in bed and do nothing else."
It's a good thing.' He was thinking so in his heart, but he flattered him: "Yes, the state likes the noble man very much. The noble man doesn't know that the state even gave special instructions before leaving in the morning, saying not to wake the noble man up. This is what I do.
This is the first time since the palace that the emperor loves someone so much."
Song Du smiled shyly and sat quietly, letting Guo Cainu comb his hair behind him.
Suddenly, Song Du screamed "Ouch", and then said with great regret: "I forgot to ask the emperor when my brother would take me to Shanglin Garden to ride a horse!"
Guo Cainv was startled by her, shook her head helplessly, and said coaxingly: "The days will be long in the future, why should you be anxious for a moment, and fear that the country won't take you out?"
Song Du felt the same after hearing this. After the emperor was done with this period of time, it would not be a matter of saying that he wanted to take her out in the future.
"It's just..." Song Du's mood became a little depressed again; "Are we going back to Jiao Fang later?"
"Jinnuo." Guo Cainu said: "When the servants have washed and dressed up for the nobles, they will go back to the pepper room for breakfast."
Song Du suddenly understood something, turned around and looked at Guo Cainv: "Doesn't that mean that during this period, Brother Emperor will not come to see me often? I can't come here secretly like last night?"
"
Guo Cainv nodded, and Song Du immediately said anxiously: "This is not possible. It would be great if I could stay with the emperor's brother every day."
How is this possible? Not to mention that when the emperor grows up, he will inevitably have many concubines. Even ordinary couples will get tired of seeing each other every day. When dealing with men, they have to push and pull, and keeping a distance is the right way.
Although Guo Cainv was not very old, she was born among the common people, and she had seen many things like two lovers, men loving women and women falling in love. She wanted to tell Song Du, but she was afraid that the simple Song Du would not accept it at this time, so she thought
I'll tell her later.
But how should he reply to Song Du now? After what happened last night, Song Du seemed to regard Guo Cainv as a think tank who came up with ideas. Guo Cainv could not appear clumsy at this time and had to think of a good excuse to consolidate her position in the government.
A resourceful and resourceful person in Song Dynasty's heart.
"If you want to talk about a way, it's not impossible." Guo Cainv deliberately played it off.
Song Du thought it was another trick similar to sneaking into the front hall, so he shook his head and said: "No, no, I promise my brother the emperor will not be an example again and never break the rules again. You have to give me a serious idea."
."
"This is a serious idea!" Guo Cainv said hurriedly: "Does the noble person know the queen? As long as the noble person becomes the queen, he can enter and leave the announcement room at any time in the future without going through the Ye Ting Order."
"Is it true?" Song Du said with a surprised smile: "As long as I become the queen, I can go to the announcement room to see the emperor's brother every day?"
Without waiting for Guo Cainu's answer, Song Du made his decision enthusiastically: "No wonder before entering the palace, Aweng and the others repeatedly told me to work hard to please the emperor's brother, so that I can become the queen. I didn't expect it to be for this reason.
If this is the case, then I will be the queen."
Guo Cainu was shocked. She didn't expect Song Du to be so straightforward. She was about to pour some cold water on her, fearing that she would show off everywhere, but she thought of the emperor's love for Song Du that surpassed Yeting. If he wants to establish a queen in the future
, who could it be if it wasn’t Song Du? Even if a few people listen to it, are they still unable to see the situation clearly, what kind of trouble will it cause?
Thinking of this, Guo Cainv obeyed blindly: "The country likes noble people so much, and noble people are so good-looking, they will definitely become queens in the future."
Seeing Song Du's happy and satisfied look, Guo Cainv added: "It's just that you must not mention this matter to others, especially Princess Wannian and Fu Guiren. It is not good for them to hear it."
Song Du is in high spirits. It would be great if you can hear one of these ten words of advice. () Okay, this is today’s reward update. The next chapter will be uploaded at ten past seven o’clock in the evening. Thank you all again.
Support and encouragement from book friends! In addition, the necessary emotional foreshadowing for the male and female protagonists in this book is still necessary, but it will not take too much pen and ink to write (in more than sixty chapters, you can count how many times the female protagonist only appears), so in the future it will still be
It focuses on the intrigues and struggles between men! Please just make do with this kind of foreshadowing, sorry.
