Song Heng sent me to Chenxiang Pavilion before returning to Chengqing Palace.
Before leaving, he turned back to look at me again. I looked at him with a smile: "Holding your hand, I won't look back."
I immediately stuck out my tongue and said, "I don't have a beauty that can make fishes sink to the bottom of their chests, geese drop to the ground, or moons hide in shame. But I have brought disaster to the country and the people, and my beauty has brought disaster to the country. Shuang'er's life is worth it."
But my words didn't seem to reassure him. He finally said in a deep voice, "Yes."
"ah?"
"Shuang'er has a beauty that can make fish sink to the bottom of their chests, geese fall to the ground, and the moon hide in shame." He continued without changing his expression.
"Oh, Your Majesty, you're getting into the role so quickly!" I winked at him. He didn't say anything else. I pushed his back and said, "Alright, alright, go back to Chengqing Palace. We still have things to do!"
He paused, then suddenly smiled slyly: "From now on, I'll just let it go."
I also laughed and said, "Okay!"
Song Heng is planning and laying out the overall situation.
He wanted to play the role of a tyrant, indulging in beauty and ignoring state affairs; he wanted to revel every night and be indifferent to state affairs; he wanted to live a muddle-headed life and give others an opportunity to take advantage of him.
He wanted to make Prime Minister Hua's faction powerful enough to cover half the sky with one hand, and then - uproot them and catch them all in one fell swoop.
Then I will be the beauty who brings disaster to the country and the people, accompany him to stay up late at night, accompany him to live a life of debauchery without caring about the day and night, accompany him to lure others into a trap, and then - catch the turtle in the trap.
Xiao Cui and Xiao Tao were confused as they listened, but this was a serious matter and I couldn't tell them. I didn't want to cause trouble for Song Heng, nor did I want to involve them in this risky gamble.
I watched them pat their bellies and said, "I'm so tired from riding! I need to eat!"
"It's obviously His Majesty who's riding..." Xiao Tao directly exposed me: "My lady, you just sit there all the time..."
…
"I pulled the reins, okay?" I puffed out my chest and argued, adhering to the principle of "even if you are in the wrong, you cannot lose your momentum."
"My lady, you've worked so hard..." Xiao Tao suppressed a smile and said, "Do you need me to massage your hands?"
An idea suddenly struck me, and I shook my head in a particularly pretentious manner: "No, His Majesty just held my hands, and the warmth of His Majesty is still there. I need to wait a little longer."
Xiao Cui: ???
Xiaotao:???
Xiao Cui Xiao Tao: Woo woo woo, it’s over! The young lady is really suffering from hysteria!
Me: It’s not that I didn’t, don’t talk nonsense!
*
Moonlight streamed down the branches, and I suddenly thought of what Xiao Cui and Xiao Tao had said about my father, a man of integrity and righteousness. How would he feel if he knew I was "seducing my master"? Would Song Heng tell him the truth?
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the familiar voice of "The Emperor has arrived" - Song Heng came.
Everything must be done step by step. Song Heng also has manpower and affairs to arrange and handle. His coming to me today is just a normal act of His Majesty visiting the harem to favor concubines, so naturally there won't be much waves.
But I found that I was not a person who took things easy. When I saw him walk into the courtyard, I ran over to him with small steps and a smile on my face. He smiled at me as usual, but when I ran in front of him, I suddenly jumped up, put my arms around his neck, clamped my legs around him, and climbed on top of him: "Your Majesty~"
I saw him take a step back because of the sudden collision, his face was panicked, and he quickly grabbed me with one hand and immediately held my waist with the other hand. Finally, I heard him breathe a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.
I was amused by his behavior and laughed happily on his shoulder. I caught a glimpse of Grandpa Afu looking at me in shock. I really wanted to try to see how many quail eggs I could stuff into his mouth.
This time I laughed even more happily, and swayed on Song Heng. Song Heng held me and finally said helplessly: "What if you fall?"
"How could she fall with His Majesty holding Shuang'er?" I answered with a grin.
He didn't put me down, but simply carried me into the house: "I didn't know you were so..."
"What's up?" I quickly distanced my upper body from him, put my arms around his neck and looked at him with a smile.
“So beautiful!”
Before I could react, he pecked my lips as soon as he finished speaking. Now it was my turn to be stunned, but he laughed so hard that his shoulders swayed slightly.
Because of the height, he placed me directly on the wooden table after entering the room. Seeing my blushing face, he teased me: "Are you good now?"
I saw that the door had been thoughtfully closed by Eunuch Ah Fu. Song Heng and I were the only ones left in the room. I swung my legs and said leisurely, "Am I not cooperating with His Majesty?"
He showed a sad and disappointed expression: "It turns out Shuang'er was just doing her job."
I was stunned. Actually, I couldn’t say that.
But thinking about how I was clearly teasing him just now but he turned the tables on me, I humphed and didn't answer directly. I immediately asked the question that had confused me before: "Your Majesty, will my father know about this?"
He turned to look at me and paused: "Yes, I will tell him, you don't have to worry."
I want my father to know the truth, so that he will not misunderstand Song Heng, the wise ruler, or me; but I don't want him to be involved in this dispute.
But on second thought, he was the famous Imperial Censor. How could he escape unscathed from the political struggle?
This time Song Heng said he would tell him. It seems that his father is also a key figure, and is on the side of His Majesty.
Thinking of this, I feel a little better. I have a wise ruler and virtuous ministers. One is my husband and the other is my father. It is really a very happy thing.
And I can help.
I continued to swing my legs in the air, leaned over to Song Heng and whispered, "Then, Your Majesty, what exactly should I do?"
Walls have ears. Since Song Heng chose to whisper this to me while riding a horse in the stables, it was because he was worried about the many people and gossips in the palace courtyard.
He was worried that I would fall off the table, so he carefully supported my shoulders and then said softly, "You don't have to do anything, I'll do it."
I met his eyes, which were like looking into a clear pond. Did he want to put all the blame for bringing disaster to the country and the people on himself?
I don't do anything spoiled or arrogant, and it's his business to bestow upon me the emperor's grace and honor.
I know he wants to minimize the harm he inflicts on me. He's afraid I'll be insulted and spit on, afraid I'll be labeled a "vixen"...
After all, everyone has their own opinions, and a spit from one person can turn into an invisible blade and stab you.
Human language can be the lightest thing that disappears in an instant, but it can also be the coldest thing that can instantly leave one with many holes.
However, if you want to accuse someone of a crime, you can always find a pretext.
What's more, since I have said "I will hold your hand and never look back", how can I just watch Song Heng take on all these things alone?
Moreover, I said with a smile: "I finally have the opportunity to be lawless, Your Majesty, won't you let me be unbridled?"
He was stunned for a moment, then he moved down my arms and held my hands.
"Okay, Shuang'er, go ahead and do whatever you want. I'll take care of everything."
I was amused by his seriousness: "Okay, okay! Deal, deal!"
