Chapter 70 You invite me to dinner? You go home?
"master."
When Zhu Xin saw the winner of the imperial examination in the parade, she excitedly grabbed Shen Lingshu's hand. Her eyes were fixed on the winner of the imperial examination. Even though his face had become more mature, she could still vaguely see his former appearance.
This is my cousin, Song Yuqing, not someone with the same name.
Song Yuqing, dressed in fine clothes and riding a horse, is full of vigor and vitality. Compared with the brief introduction in the script, the Song Yuqing in front of us is full of bookish air and gentle as jade. No wonder he can attract Princess Lingzhao to fall in love with him at first sight.
"I want him to be my consort."
Princess Lingzhao's voice rang in her ears, and the next moment, Shen Lingshu saw Lingzhao's red figure walking downstairs. Chu Cong didn't even have time to say anything.
"Ling Zhao."
Chu Cong chased after him all the way.
"Master, is Her Royal Highness the Princess interested in my cousin?"
Zhu Xin asked quietly, her eyes wide open. She belatedly realized, "Could it be that the person the princess was looking for was my cousin?"
"Yes." Shen Lingshu nodded. Song Yuqing would rather disobey the order than marry the princess, and ended up in jail.
"The prince has left, Master, so we..."
Zhu Xin watched the prince and princess disappear into the corridor and asked anxiously, "There are so many people outside, what should we do?"
"wait."
Shen Lingshu's hand fell on her bulging belly. She wanted to give some advice, but there were so many people below, and if the child was really squeezed, that would not work.
"Ling Shu."
Chu Cong's figure reappeared. Shen Lingshu smiled and helped Zhu Xin stand up: "Didn't the prince go to find the princess?"
"Ling Zhao ran away as soon as he went downstairs. There are many people outside."
Chu Cong felt a little headache when he mentioned his sister. Most of the noble ladies in the capital were reserved and reserved. They were not like Ling Zhao, who wanted to marry the third place winner as soon as she saw him.
The prince still remembered the baby in her belly.
Shen Lingshu smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern."
"I'll ask Qingwu to take you back to the palace." After Chu Cong finished speaking, Shen Lingshu said hesitantly, "Your Majesty, can I go with you?"
"Um?"
Chu Cong raised his eyebrows.
Shen Lingshu said: "The third place winner, Song Yuqing, is my cousin from my mother's family."
Rather than being provoked and exploited by others, it would be better for her to speak out openly.
Princess Lingzhao followed the parade all the way, her eyes following Song Yuqing, and she never took her eyes off him!
No wonder she couldn't find him after searching for more than two months. It turned out that he was reviewing his lessons at home and taking the imperial examination in the Imperial College!
If she had not left the palace to look for someone yesterday but had gone to see the number one scholar, she might have recognized him long ago.
"Princess, there are too many people in the parade. Why don't we go directly to the Imperial Examination Hall and wait?"
The palace maid Guan Yun warned, "There are so many people here. Princess, even if you want to come forward and talk, I'm afraid you won't be able to."
"Imperial Examination Hall?" Princess Lingzhao looked back in confusion and followed Song Yuqing's back, but there were too many people. Even though she was a princess, she couldn't get in front of Song Yuqing in one go.
"The end point of this parade is at the Imperial Examination Hall. If the princess wants to see the third place winner, she will definitely see him there." Guanyun said affirmatively.
Princess Lingzhao raised her eyes and watched Song Yuqing getting farther and farther away. She left the crowd and walked into the alley and asked, "Let's go to the Imperial Examination Hall."
The detour to the Imperial Examination Hall was smooth, and when she saw the parade coming from afar, Princess Lingzhao's eyes lit up a bit. She hurriedly straightened her clothes and asked, "Guanyun, take a quick look, is there anything wrong with me?"
"Is the lip balm red enough?"
Princess Lingzhao's heart was pounding, and she suddenly felt shy and timid.
"Her Royal Highness is very beautiful. Anyone who sees her will be captivated by her."
Guan Yun's words made Princess Ling Zhao very happy. She sat upright in the carriage and said, "Go and invite Master Song over later."
"Yes." Guanyun responded and immediately got ready.
"Song Yuqing."
Princess Lingzhao murmured the name, and the corners of her lips involuntarily curled up. Not only was the person good-looking, but the name was also nice. She lifted the curtain from time to time and saw that Guanyun had passed by, but it seemed that things were not going well?
As the most handsome among the top three and the only one who is not married, Song Yuqing has become the husband that countless girls want to marry and the ideal son-in-law in the minds of many officials!
As soon as Song Yuqing dismounted from his horse after parading through the streets, he was surrounded by many servants. Guanyun stood on the periphery, running around anxiously.
Princess Lingzhao couldn't sit still after seeing this scene!
If the prince consort she has her eyes on is kidnapped by another family and becomes their son-in-law, she will have no place to cry!
Growing up in Lingtai Temple, she knew very well that if you don't fight for what you want, others will not give it to you.
"Your Highness, why did you come down?"
Guanyun looked back and saw Princess Lingzhao coming over, and quickly spoke.
"Mr. Song."
As soon as Princess Lingzhao opened her voice, the servants and guards who had just surrounded Song Yuqing immediately made way for her!
Everyone recognized him in his distinctive red clothes. He was Princess Lingzhao, who had just returned from Lingtai Temple at the end of last year. When they recalled that some time ago, Princess Lingzhao was looking for the young man in green holding a tiger lantern, everyone instantly matched the young man in green with the third place winner in the imperial examination!
In the carriage not far away, watching this scene, Song Yuqing's eyes were filled with regret. Such a handsome and talented third place winner, what a good son-in-law!
pity……
The servants and guards slowly retreated, and no one dared to compete with Princess Lingzhao for the person.
This is the emperor's favorite princess. With just one word, he reopened the case of the crown prince. Now that the crown prince has been reinstated, it is even more evident how much Princess Lingzhao holds in the emperor's heart.
"Her Royal Highness Princess Lingzhao." Song Yuqing bowed. The whispers of the people around him had already told him the identity of Princess Lingzhao.
"Mr. Song, there's no need to be so polite."
Princess Lingzhao's eyes brightened a little. The voice was pleasant. When she was closer, her deep eyes were brighter than the stars on the top of Lingtai Temple.
"Song, I'll take my leave." Song Yuqing turned and was about to leave. Princess Lingzhao asked hurriedly, "Is this how Young Master Song thanks his savior?"
"Help?" The surprise in Song Yuqing's eyes was very obvious. What he had just done was at most a rescue.
"Yes, if it weren't for this princess, wouldn't Mr. Song have been snatched away by those dignitaries and taken home as a son-in-law?"
Princess Lingzhao looked at him with a smile, her sparkling eyes seemed to say: You have to thank me?
"Thank you, Princess, for rescuing me."
Song Yuqing bowed again and said, "I, the princess, would like to have dinner at Jinyu Mantang to express my gratitude."
"OK."
Princess Lingzhao readily agreed, looking at him with gentle eyes, her heart filled with joy, but she didn't dare show it.
Soon, Princess Lingzhao discovered that Song Yuqing was about to leave, and simply ordered: "Qingjian, you will follow the princess to Jinyumantang."
"Wait a minute."
Princess Lingzhao stopped him and asked, "Where are you going, Master Song?"
"Of course I'm going home." Song Yuqing replied.
"You invite me to dinner, and then you go home?" Princess Lingzhao raised her voice several tones and looked at him in disbelief.
