Chapter 197 The Imperial Concubine's Booklet 2
"How does the princess know so much?" Now it was Song Ci's turn to be surprised. She knew Le Yi's personality. She hated to meddle in other people's business, and it was even more rare that she remembered it so clearly.
"Here!" She put down a large stack of papers. "It's all recorded here."
Song Ci picked it up casually and flipped through a few pages, his eyes widened. This was not just a clear record, it could be said that this was a detailed record of the young talents in Beijing, the record was extremely detailed.
She even saw the detailed introduction, which concubine in the backyard of this young master was the most favored. She also saw her age, sixteen...
Sixteen is so ridiculous, this person is not good.
Finding the booklet interesting, Song Ci flipped through it. Xu and Jiang also leaned over and pointed at what was written on it and said something from time to time. Laughter could be heard coming from this side.
Compared to them, Shen Qingman was not so happy. Thinking of her mother's admonitions and the way some people looked at her today, she felt annoyed. All this was because of Song Ci.
It seems that her life has become difficult since she came into conflict with Song Ci.
"Princess, it's Master Pei!"
“Him? He won’t come to a place like this…” Shen Qingman had just finished speaking when she looked up and saw Pei Ji, who was surrounded by people at a distance.
He was tall and slender, with a pearly and jade-like figure. His white robe was glowing with light, and his well-defined profile was smiling slightly, which made Shen Qingman stunned.
"The princess also said that Mr. Pei would not come. Isn't this person here..." The person who was refuted by Shen Qingman couldn't help but muttered, and attracted a roll of the eyes from the other party.
"This princess is talking, and I still need you to teach her a lesson."
The scene became awkward after these words were spoken. The woman came to her senses and, remembering what others said about the princess, that she had a bad temper and could turn her face ruthlessly, she could only stand up and apologize awkwardly, "I dare not."
Seeing the people around her looking at her, Shen Qingman was afraid that Pei Ji would see her like this, so she just said "hmm" coldly and stood up immediately. She didn't want to stay here and talk to these people. She wanted to go find Pei Ji.
After some tea and snacks, and listening to Le Yi spouting gossip and secrets, Song Ci drank two cups of tea and stood up: "I'm going to the toilet."
"You, take Miss Song with you."
"Yes." The maid beside her stood up, made a gesture of invitation, and walked forward with Song Ci.
Along the way, there is a faint fragrance of flowers all around, mixed with a light scent of grass, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
As I turned a corner, a soft female voice suddenly rang out: "You promised me, don't go back on your word now."
"The Emperor said that your handwriting is very good and asked me to learn more from you."
"Well, since you like it, I'll have someone send you my frequently used calligraphy copybook later."
"Don't leave!"
The two of them didn't have time to stop and saw this shocking scene when they turned the corner. The maid was stunned and wanted to take Song Ci away, but it was too late.
In front of him, Shen Qingman hugged Pei Ji's waist from behind, her face blushing and looking charming.
The two bodies were pressed tightly together, looking very close.
These two people didn't care about Song Ci anyway, and they couldn't help but stop in their tracks. Why was this scene so inexplicably eye-catching?
At this moment, the two also discovered Song Ci and the maid.
"Let go." Pei Ji shouted coldly, his face as frosty as if he was keeping people at a distance.
After being surprised, Shen Qingman was filled with joy. She slowly released Pei Ji's waist as he said, adjusted the hairpin on her temples, and said in a soft tone, "I didn't expect that Miss Song still has a hobby of peeping."
Seeing that Song Ci didn't speak for a while, the maid explained: "This servant has been ordered to take Miss Song."
What I mean is, it was a coincidence, not intentional.
Being refuted by a maid, Shen Qingman was not angry. She looked straight at Song Ci's expression, her eyes full of suspicion, only to see Song Ci's face was cold, even colder than at the beginning. If she liked Pei Ji, shouldn't she be angry?
She didn't know that Song Ci had no expression when she was angry. Only people who were familiar with her knew this.
"So that's how it is. Well, Miss Song, please go ahead. Mr. Pei and I still have something to talk about..." He emphasized the three words "Mr. Pei" and spoke in an ambiguous tone, as if to express that there seemed to be something between them.
Pei Ji frowned and was about to speak when Song Ci walked away in one direction without a pause.
"Pei Ji, let's go..." Shen Qingman was about to reach out to grab Pei Ji, but she missed him. When she turned around, she saw Pei Ji heading in the direction where Song Ci had just left. Her eyes suddenly narrowed.
Pei Ji actually left me and went to find Song Ci? Was he worried that Song Ci would misunderstand him?
No, Pei Ji couldn't go to find Song Ci. She hurried forward and grabbed Pei Ji's sleeve, pleading with her eyes, "Please stay here with me, please don't go."
The sleeves were wrinkled by someone's grasp. Pei Ji looked at it with some disdain and said, "What a pity for my clothes. They were newly made. After what the princess did to me, I can't keep this robe anymore."
He turned his head to glance in the direction of Song Ci, but he could no longer see her. Then he tossed his sleeves and said, "Alin, take me to change clothes."
A Lin, who was not far away, said: "I have prepared two sets in the carriage."
Seeing Pei Ji dislike the clothes she had touched, the princess was furious and said, "Pei Ji, do you really dislike me? What exactly are you dissatisfied with..."
Unfortunately, the only response she got was Pei Ji's back.
On the way back, Song Ci's mind was filled with the image of the two of them hugging each other tightly. Her fingers tightened in her wide cuffs, and she felt a little confused in her heart.
The two of them were not the same kind of people. Pei Ji had been entangled with the princess in his previous life. Didn't she know that a long time ago?
Perhaps she was thinking too hard and didn't notice the stone under her feet. She tripped and took a few steps away. She had no time to help Song Ci and watched him fall down.
"What are you thinking about? You don't even look at the road."
A pair of large hands supported her shoulders, steadying her rapidly falling body. Song Ci breathed a sigh of relief and smelled the reassuring scent of cedar. Meeting Pei Ji's obsidian eyes, she was stunned for a moment before she stood firm.
"Why are you here?"
Pei Ji heard the emotion in her words, raised his eyebrows and smiled, a gentle smile under his long and thick eyelashes: "I came to save you."
Wanxiang didn't care about what the two of them were saying. She went forward to check on Song Ci and was relieved to see that she was fine.
"Thank you, Master Pei."
Pei Ji didn't look at Wan Xiang, "The person I saved was your daughter, why are you the one thanking me?"
"Thank you, Mr. Pei." Song Ci's voice was as clear and pleasant as the sound of flowing water in a mountain stream. Pei Ji's eyes became more gentle and he glanced at her.
"You've lost weight."
