Chapter 227 Song Zhuo's Request
I think it is because of the Fourth Prince's study in the Shangshufang.
This time Song Qingyan didn't guess all the answers correctly.
Seeing Song Qingyan coming, Concubine Wen hurried over to hold Song Qingyan's hand, saying, "Did you hear, sister? Jin Rui has entered the Shangshufang to study."
Song Qingyan smiled and said, "I know. Jin Rui is really a hard-working child. He won the recognition of His Majesty in just a few days."
Concubine Wen tried to calm herself down and continued with a smile, "It's all thanks to the help of my sister and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Jin Rui doesn't have any other thoughts in this harem. He just prefers to study. He is very happy in the palace for getting such an opportunity!"
Having said this, Concubine Wen felt as if the breath that was blocking her chest had been released a little.
[It's true that each of the nine sons of the dragon is different! I didn't expect that the fourth prince is a book lover. ]
[But since I can’t participate in politics in this harem, it’s good to have something to rely on.]
While Lu Xingwan was thinking, Concubine Wen took a plate from the maid behind her and put it on the table.
Then he lifted the gauze covering it and took it out.
It turned out to be a short jacket made of cloud silk with many little rabbits embroidered on it. It was obviously prepared for Lu Xingwan.
[Wow, what a beautiful dress, is this a gift from Madam Wen to me?]
Lu Xingwan excitedly reached out to Concubine Wen in front of him and tried to take the little clothes into his own hands.
"Look, Wanwan likes it very much!" Seeing Lu Xingwan like it so much, Concubine Wen was of course happy. She felt that her efforts were not in vain.
Song Qingyan couldn't help but sigh: "It's not convenient to embroider something on this cloud silk material. Sister is really skillful."
Then he took the little clothes himself.
"Since Wanwan likes it so much, I won't be polite to you, sister." Song Qingyan said very carefully, fearing that she would ruin the clothes. "Thank you, sister Wen."
Concubine Wen looked at Song Qingyan with a smile, but she looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Song Qingyan had already noticed that something was wrong with her, so she asked, "Sister Wen, why are you so uneasy? What's the matter?"
Concubine Wen was silent for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to speak: "Sister, when you came back from Xingyang Palace, did you hear from the Crown Prince about my brother handing the memorial to His Majesty?"
Song Qingyan nodded: "I heard the prince mention it, why did Sister Wen suddenly bring it up?"
"My brother is really too ignorant!" Concubine Wen seemed to have suddenly opened up, "He is an envoy from a foreign country, not to mention that Ah Yao was a guard in the army before. He had long wanted to travel around the Great Chu, but I refused."
"I didn't expect that he would be so bold as to submit a memorial to His Majesty."
"If your majesty suspects him for this, how can he, a foreign envoy, protect himself?"
[Empress Wen, it turns out you can say so many words in one breath! ]
It turns out that Concubine Wen can also feel this kind of anger.
Lu Xingwan and Song Qingyan were both a little surprised.
Seeing that Concubine Wen seemed to be really angry, Song Qingyan hurriedly explained: "Sister, don't worry. His Majesty just rejected King Yixuan's intention, but he didn't intend to treat them harshly because of it."
"Just rest assured, sister."
"Really?" Concubine Wen was surprised and pulled Song Qingyan's hand.
"Really!" Song Qingyan nodded heavily, which was the answer to this matter.
The two chatted for a long time before Concubine Wen left Qingyun Palace.
When Concubine Wen returned, she naturally started making preparations early, preparing some things unique to the Great Chu so that Prince Yixuan and his wife could take them back to Dali, and also for her father to see and taste them.
I think because of this memorial, the Emperor of Great Chu will definitely "send" King Yixuan and his wife back to Dali as soon as possible.
Not long after Concubine Wen left, Song Qingyan was preparing to take a rest when a visiting card was delivered from outside the palace, saying that the wife of Marquis Dingguo and his mother were outside and wanted to see the Royal Concubine.
This Marquis Dingguo is naturally the old Marquis Dingguo’s son Song Qingqi, Song Qingyan’s elder brother.
After the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, the Emperor of Great Chu sent people to the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion to announce the decree, allowing Song Qingqi to inherit the title.
Song Qingyan knew that her mother and sister-in-law would not easily come to the palace to find her, so she hurriedly sent someone to pick them up.
He also specially prepared a small sedan chair.
Soon, the two arrived at Qingyun Palace.
The two of them naturally greeted each other politely, and then sat down with the help of Jinxin and Jinyu.
"What's the matter, mother and sister-in-law?" Song Qingyan knew that her mother must have a reason for coming to see her so suddenly, so she asked directly without hiding anything.
Xiao and Wei looked at each other, and finally it was Wei who spoke.
However, Wei asked Song Qingyan for permission and asked all the serving palace maids and eunuchs to leave the inner room.
This move is naturally to protect Qionghua's reputation.
"Your Highness, on the day of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, Brother Zhuo should have met Miss Qionghua, right?"
Song Qingyan nodded: "Yes, I was so busy that I forgot to tell my sister-in-law."
Wei stood up quickly, walked to Song Qingyan's side, and took her hand: "Sister, you are busy. Mother and I understand."
"I heard that Master Pei found out that the Queen had poisoned the Sixth Princess. Has the Queen been cleared of the accusation now?"
Song Qingyan nodded again: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'm fine."
[Oh, my rich aunt is good in every way except that she is too slow.]
[I was waiting for you to talk about Brother Song Zhuo! You actually started chatting about him here.]
"Why did sister-in-law mention Miss Qionghua?" Song Qingyan was naturally anxious.
Speaking of this, Wei's eyes became somewhat lonely again: "After Zhuo Ge'er returned from the palace that day, he stayed in his room for several days without saying a word and refused to go out."
"He did come out today and told your eldest brother that he wanted to go to the border with him."
"But Zhuo Ge'er is already twenty years old. If he goes to the border for three or two years, wouldn't it delay his marriage when he comes back?"
[Tsk tsk tsk, Brother Song Zhuo is emotionally hurt and wants to escape from reality! ]
[I never thought he would be so deeply in love with Sister Qionghua. ]
"Qiong Hua didn't say much that day, except that he told Zhuo Ge'er that he didn't like him and asked him to find a woman who loved him."
After being silent for a long time, Xiao finally spoke: "In my opinion, if he wants to go, let him go."
"If you insist on keeping him in the capital, you can find him a woman of equal status to marry, but he still has Miss Qionghua in his heart."
"Then he and his wife, don't they become a pair of enemies?"
Wei was a little hesitant: "I naturally know what mother means, and I also know that this is the best way."
"But Miss Guo is already fourteen this year. If Zhuo Ge'er goes out for a few years, when he comes back, Miss Guo may have already been promised to someone else."
Speaking of this, he sighed.
