Chapter 466: A City Has Been Lost
"In fact, he is just a boy from a poor family, but he is well-versed, gentle and elegant." When talking about that man, Rong Wenmiao's eyes were even shining.
I thought of his blue shirt that had turned pale from being washed, and his calm demeanor that never lost its composure.
Fortunately, most people in Yongchang Academy do not care about status, so he often discusses astronomy, geography, poetry and songs with others. He is indeed a man of extraordinary talent.
It was his neither humble nor arrogant attitude that attracted Rong Wenmiao's attention.
He Yuyao was puzzled: "There are very few poor scholars in Yongchang Academy, why is he......"
Rong Wenmiao shook his head: "I also asked him privately, and he just kept silent about it. But I heard from others that Shen Ping was sent to Yongchang Academy by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself."
"So his name is Shen Ping!" Han Xiyue said with a smile.
This Shen Ping was exactly the scholar Shen Ping whom the Great Chu Emperor had met in Taijin County before.
He Yuyao also joked: "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows the identity of this person, then I will have to trouble Sister Han to find out for Sister Rong!"
At this point, He Yuyao suddenly sighed: "After Sister Han enters the palace, it will be difficult for us to see her again."
After saying this, she looked at Rong Wenmiao with regret, and the two looked at each other.
Rong Wenmiao was a clever person to begin with. Now that she was no longer trapped by love, she naturally became more active: "I heard that Yuyao is now learning how to be a housekeeper from the housekeeper's nanny!"
"Yu Yao was very generous today and actually took out the token of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion. It seems that you now have a say in the Duke of Anguo's Mansion."
He Yuyao nodded with great satisfaction: "I feel more comfortable in the Anguo Mansion than in the He Mansion before."
"No one is doing anything behind my back anymore, and no one is cutting my share. But now this huge Anguo Mansion is just sitting there idle, and my cousin rarely comes back to live here, so I..."
"Sister, if you feel lonely, just call me!" Rong Wenmiao smiled and took He Yuyao's hand, "Fortunately, we don't have to suffer like before."
While speaking, Rong Wenmiao looked at He Yuyao very cautiously.
He was afraid that she still had some thoughts about her father or the He family, and that his words might have hurt her.
He Yuyao shook her head: "Actually, I'm very busy now, so you don't have to worry about me. I heard that Yongchang Academy has a lot of courses, so you must not lose face for Master Rong."
After saying this, he turned around and looked at Han Xiyue: "We are all working hard for our future."
At this time in Qingyun Palace, Song Qingyan had already begun the final moments of packing her luggage.
It was true that no one had a lot of things, so Song Qingyan just prepared two small boxes. Although she was riding a horse, she didn't want Wanwan and her friends' carriage to be burdened by luggage.
"Your Majesty should come in the evening." Song Qingyan stretched her lazy waist and lay back down again.
[Yes, my mother will be leaving tomorrow, so my father should come to see her.]
However, this time the mother and daughter did not get what they wanted. Just after the afternoon, Meng Quande went all the way to Qingyun Palace.
Passed by the Second Prince who had just left Qingyun Palace.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Second Prince," Meng Quande has always been the most tactful person, "Your Highness, are you coming from Qingyun Palace?"
"Empress Chen will be leaving tomorrow, come and see her." The Second Prince nodded and was polite to Meng Quande, "Eunuch Meng, what is this?"
Meng Quande smiled and asked, "I wonder if the queen has served the meal?"
“No.”
The Second Prince's words made Meng Quande breathe a sigh of relief. He trotted all the way because he was afraid that the Empress had already served the meal: "Your Majesty was busy late, so he was delayed for some time. He was just about to invite Empress Chen to Longsheng Palace for dinner!"
After hearing this, the Second Prince leaned aside and said, "Eunuch Meng, go quickly and don't delay Father's business."
Looking at Meng Quande's receding back, the second prince was stunned.
Although he and the Crown Prince did not visit Empress Chen every day when she was in the palace, perhaps once in ten days was considered good enough.
But suddenly, Empress Chen was leaving the palace, and he felt empty inside.
He had obviously noticed his brother's depression these days. In short, no matter what, he would protect his brother well. At the very least, when Empress Chen returned, he would give her a safe and sound brother.
When Song Qingyan arrived at Longsheng Palace, the Emperor of Great Chu seemed to be troubled by something. He lowered his head and looked at something on the chopping board, as if thinking about something.
[What's wrong with Father? Could it be that you can't bear to leave Mother? ]
[It's too late now~ Father's words are as good as gold. 】
【What you gentlemen say is that once a word is spoken, it cannot be taken back. 】
[Father, are you afraid that my mother will run away because you see that she is going to be free? ]
[It's okay. The Dingguo Marquis's Mansion is still in the capital. Mother doesn't dare to run away. At most, she will refuse to come back. ]
Song Qingyan was helpless. This girl always talked nonsense.
The Great Chu Emperor was naturally attracted by Lu Xingwan's voice and stood up quickly: "You are here."
"You guys!" Lu Xingwan spoke heavily.
[I also came with my mother, how come you are the one who came! ]
[If my father doesn't like me, I might as well just go back to the palace.]
"Hmph!" Lu Xingwan snorted in a very exaggerated manner, which made the Emperor of Great Chu laugh.
"Wanwan is a little girl who has grown up now, and she has more and more tricks up her sleeves." The Great Chu Emperor picked up Lu Xingwan and continued to look at Song Qingyan and said, "When she grows up, I'm afraid she will still cause trouble!"
"Nowadays, the flowers, birds, insects and fish in this garden are probably afraid of this ancestor!" Song Qingyan naturally joked.
Then he turned around and glanced at the desk of the Great Chu Emperor, and asked, "What were you looking at just now, Your Majesty? You seemed a little worried?"
For some reason, Song Qingyan felt that the Emperor of Great Chu had not asked her to come just for dinner.
The Emperor of Great Chu did not hide anything and directly showed the memorial to Song Qingyan.
Song Qingyan hesitated for a moment, and finally opened it.
[Mother is now a general, not a concubine, so she is no longer a harem official.]
[This princess has approved it, mother, just watch it. ]
"We have lost a city?" Song Qingyan frowned and looked up at the Emperor of Great Chu.
In fact, she didn't quite believe this result. Although Shen Xiao and Song Zhuo might not be able to command, Shen Xiao had been in the army for many years after all, and the Yuefeng Kingdom really had no military strength.
It would be harder to fight, but it wouldn't lead to the loss of a city!
The Great Chu Emperor nodded and pointed to another memorial: "There is another one."
However, this time the Great Chu Emperor did not let Song Qingyan get the memorial again, and then walked to the dining table with Lu Xingwan in his arms: "It is said that the soldiers of Yuefeng Kingdom are much more than before, and they suffered many casualties in order to capture this city."
