Chapter 470: A Hundred Years of Cultivation to Cross the River Together
Helian Pu talks to Song Jin.
Basically, Song Jin answered whatever he asked.
Very methodical and reserved.
Helian Pu seems gentle, but in fact he gives people a strong sense of oppression, and few people dare to act rashly in front of him.
Qin Chi was originally talking to Song Kuan, and he sat down next to Song Jin without knowing when. Needless to say, with him around, Song Jin gradually relaxed and spoke more naturally. Song Jin himself did not notice this change.
Helian Pu smiled and didn't expose it.
Sit for a while.
Boss Qin and Mrs. Li arrived. They exchanged a few more words with Song Kuan. Then Mrs. Li came over to chat with Song Jin, leaving Boss Qin and Song Kuan to talk.
Qin Chi watched his mother take his wife away.
Helian Pu on the side glanced at Qin Chi and said, "You are useless."
A mild scolding drew Qin Chi's attention back, "Uncle, why am I so useless?"
"How long has it been? You still haven't coaxed your wife into submission?" Helian Pu didn't know much about the couple's affairs, but he had heard a few words about it from others.
Qin Chi said calmly: "Why rush? This is fun."
After saying that, he walked away with his head held high and his chest puffed out, and behind him was Helian Pu's slightly restrained laughter, and he said, "A dead duck is still stubborn, hahahaha..."
Qin Chi left at a faster pace.
At lunch time, Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty came over in casual clothes.
The family has a meal.
After the meal, they sat together to drink tea and chat.
Emperor Mingwu was unexpectedly easygoing. He would talk about everything when chatting with Song Kuan, most of which were topics related to Song Kuan. He also mentioned Huizhou and the world-famous Huangshan Mountain. "I remember that Huangshan Mountain is also called the Three Capitals of the Sons of Heaven. They are Tiandu, Lianhua and Guangmingding. It is said to symbolize the immortal capital where the emperor of heaven lives. It is known as the fairyland on earth. Unfortunately, I have been busy for most of my life and have not had time to see it."
"Your Majesty can go anytime you want."
Song Kuan replied respectfully.
Emperor Mingwu smiled and said, "I must go when I have time."
Then he looked at Helian Pu next to him and asked, "How many years has Pu'er lived there? Does he have any paintings?"
"Yes, Father wants to see it?"
Helian Pu suggested going to the study, where there happened to be a few paintings he had painted while he was recuperating in Huangshan.
The three elders moved to the study.
Qin Chi accompanied him quietly.
Li and Song Jin were sitting on the side, accompanying the three children, waiting for them to play happily. Li gently waved a palm-leaf fan and whispered, "Jin'er, are you and your wife reconciled?"
Song Jin smiled but said nothing.
Li knew it was gone when she saw this. "It takes a hundred years to be able to ride the same boat together, and a thousand lifetimes to be able to sleep on the same pillow together. It's not easy for you and Qi'an to get to where you are today, you must learn to cherish each other."
After a pause, Li continued, "Besides, the children are still young and need their mother's company. Don't miss their growth because of a momentary impulse. When you look back on it in the future, you will inevitably feel regretful."
"You are absolutely right."
Song Jin lowered his head and frowned, responding gently.
Li stopped there.
Then he chatted with Song Jin about the ladies and relatives of the various families in the capital. "After the awarding ceremony, there will be a banquet. You will meet these people then. It's okay if you follow the etiquette. But when you see the eldest princess, you have to be respectful."
The eldest princess is the mother of Prince Chu.
Song Jin had only heard of him but had never seen him in person.
Time flies.
Today's awarding ceremony is held with great ceremony. It can be said to be the biggest event since the new emperor ascended the throne. All civil and military officials will attend with their families.
At the beginning of the Yin hour, Song Jin woke up.
The palace maids came in one after another, each holding something in their hands.
Song Jin didn't have to do anything, as someone came to help her wash and dress up. It was almost impossible to conceal her appearance in this situation, so she could only let nature take its course and change into a formal suit prepared by the palace maids.
After putting it on.
Song Jin only then realized that this outfit was unusual.
She wore a seven-翟 crown on her head, a bright red silk robe, and a shawl.
The xiapei is embroidered with gold-embroidered cloud and rosy phoenix patterns.
The clothing of Daxia has its own standards, and different people of different status wear different clothes. Song Jin recalled the clothes Qin Chi wore when he received the imperial edict, which matched her clothes very well. Therefore, what she is wearing now is probably the clothes of a princess.
Song Jin recalled that Qin Chi was conferred the title of Prince of An.
He said that the ceremony of enthroning the prince would be held after she returned to Beijing.
Because she insisted on divorce, the ceremony has not been held yet. Even if it was not held, he would still be a prince nailed to the board.
Knowing that these were all arranged by Qin Chi, Song Jin was helpless now. She couldn't dress neatly and then take them off to draw a line, which would make others laugh at her. Even if they were divorced, she didn't want to become the topic of gossip for others.
A palace servant came over with a food box and said humbly, "Princess, this is the food that the prince specially ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare for you. Please eat something to fill your stomach first."
"Thank you for your help."
Song Jin replied in a gentle voice.
The palace maid opened the food box.
It is a small bowl of noodles in clear soup, with a small dish of boiled meat slices and refreshing side dishes. It is suitable for eating in the morning and is also what Song Jin likes.
After Qin Qi's inspection, there was nothing wrong with the food, so he placed it in front of Song Jin.
Song Jin put down his chopsticks only when he was 80% full. Immediately, a palace maid handed him mouthwash and a warm handkerchief.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The palace gates outside are wide open today.
The palace gate is heavily guarded, but everything is orderly and bustling with people and cars.
The main street had long been closed by the government.
Ordinary people's carriages and sedan chairs could not get on the road. Those who could get off the carriages and sedan chairs were all well-known figures in the capital.
These attracted the attention of some early risers, who all looked towards the direction of the imperial palace, imagining the grand scene inside the palace, especially the enthronement ceremony which would be held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony and presided over by Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty himself.
The Mao hour has just arrived.
A palace servant came in hurriedly, "Princess, the prince is here to pick you up."
Afterwards, Song Jin was surrounded by palace maids and went out.
I saw Qin Chi waiting outside.
He was wearing the unique attire of a prince, and one could tell at a glance that he had dressed up carefully, even his hair was meticulously groomed, looking both noble and unattainable.
When the two stand together, the first impression they give is that they are a perfect match. They are both elegant and graceful, with unparalleled looks.
Qin Chi was the first to extend his hand to Song Jin.
Song Jin hesitated for a moment and then gently placed his hand on his palm.
Seeing her cooperation, Qin Chi smiled slightly.
He led her down the steps.
Step by step, he walked very steadily.
There were palace maids holding lanterns in front of me to illuminate the way, and as it was getting light, I could see my surroundings clearly even in the dim light.
"Jin'er is not angry, I'm very happy." Qin Chi said, looking ahead.
Song Jin understood what he meant.
Are you happy about her cooperation?
She has always known how to handle big matters.
Perhaps Qin Chi saw this point clearly, so he instigated her to come to the palace to watch the ceremony, and asked her to wear the clothes of a princess, so that she would appear in public with him.
Wait until you leave the East Palace.
They got on the chariot together.
"Today, not only are there rewards from my father-in-law and his men, but there are also gifts from us."
Qin Chi told Song Jin unexpectedly.
Song Jin was slightly startled, then smiled helplessly and said, "What else do you have? Tell me all at once."
"there is none left."
Qin Chi gently stroked the back of her hand with his fingertips, which felt smooth like solidified fat.
Song Jin, the person involved, felt itchy, as if it was an itch deep in her heart. She subconsciously wanted to pull her hand back, but not only did she fail after trying twice, she was held even tighter by him.
Immediately, she sighed softly and said with a hint of meaning: "Why bother? I don't mean to change my mind."
"Okay, got it." Qin Chi answered calmly, "Jin'er can still do whatever she wants like before, and I won't stop her."
These words were like a reassurance pill that landed in Song Jin's heart, "Thank you, Prince An, for your understanding."
As long as he didn't use force to detain her in the capital, she felt that this person could be dealt with. At least for her, it would be beneficial and not harmful.
The carriage was approaching the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The sound of palace music can be heard from afar, melodious, grand and solemn.
