ake up the past
The queen patted her on the back of her hand and said with a smile, "don't be modest. I'll see that you two are in love. Otherwise, how can you have such a good talk?"
However, song Shuqi said, "the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker are naturally arranged by the mother."
Her answer was very proper. The queen sighed, "we still want to find a good son-in-law for you, but you are engaged. It's a pity."
Song Shuqi droops her eyes. Has the queen not given up the idea of marriage? Thinking of this place, he said quietly, "my mother has worked so hard that I can't live up to her. Thank you for your kindness."
The queen said with a smile, "since it's your mother's will, you should accept it."
"That's what the lady said." Song Shuqi responded.
The queen looked around and looked at her: "speaking of your mother, it seems that Mrs. song didn't come?"
Song Shuqi stood up, blessed her body and said, "the daughter of the people has to plead for her mother. She is not well. It's even more difficult for her to get up in bed these days. I'm afraid she will disturb her mother
Yaxing is to stay at home. "
The queen nodded slightly, and then said, "is it serious? Don't you want to send the imperial doctor to have a look? "
"No need." Song Shuqi gently shook her head and said, "mother, this is an old disease. It's just that she needs to be cultivated for a few days. It's OK."
"That's good." The queen didn't force her.
The Zhao girl said, "may Mrs. song recover as soon as possible."
As soon as she spoke, all the girls followed suit.
The queen sighed: "although Mrs. song is not in good health, she has a good way to teach her daughter. She must have spent a lot of effort to teach her daughter. She deserves a reward."
This is a great honor to Mrs. song.
Even if she didn't attend the Palace Banquet, she was envied by all the girls, hoping that her mother would be rewarded.
Song Shuqi didn't know whether the queen was praising her or intentionally. She didn't want to arouse public resentment. She said angrily, "lady, I can't match you."
The Queen's smile deepened: "this mouth can speak."
Song Shuqi said with a serious face: "my daughter speaks from the bottom of her heart. The garden is full of spring. All the sisters are blooming. Madam, you are more beautiful. How can I compare with you?"
"You talk about it and praise everyone. What about yourself?" The empress lips Cape takes a light smile, obviously is also very satisfied with this words.
"Min Nu is Pu Liuzhi." Song Shuqi sighed: "the people's daughter looks at her elegant demeanor. She really admires her, but she knows that she may not be able to catch up with you in this life."
The empress looked at her for a moment with a straight face, and finally couldn't help but smile: "you girl, your mouth can talk. Everyone can talk. Can she believe this?"
You girls don't dare to say no.
The girl of Fang family immediately said, "I think it's credible."
"Yes, I think Miss Song is right, but when it comes to my daughter's heart."
"Niang Niang is the posture of heaven and man. We can't catch up with her." Song Shuqi's words first flattered the queen and then complimented all of you, which won the favor of everyone.
As for song Shutong, she can only look at her at the banquet, calm, everyone and song Shuqi get along well, but ignored her.
When she was ready to speak, she heard the queen say, "it's noon. It's time for everyone to have a meal."
Words fall, then have maidservant to carry tray fish to penetrate.
The delicious food in the palace is not yet in the mouth, and the fragrance is already diffused.
It's a pity that you girls dare not use more in order to keep their image. Only song Shuqi doesn't care and eats slowly.
The queen had a good view of this scene. She liked this generous girl. After lunch, she ordered someone to reward her with some fruit snacks.
"My courtesan, thank you to the empress."
The empress nodded slightly and said, "Shuqi, you come to wait on me."
"Yes." Song Shuqi responded and got up to keep up.
In the back hall, there is already a maid holding her clothes by the side of the queen. Song Shuqi comes forward to serve her. She often serves her mother, but she is very skillful.
The queen asked, "it looks like you do it all the time?"
Song Shuqi tidied her belt and said, "back to the empress, the people are here
When I am at home, I often wait on my mother to change clothes. As the saying goes, "practice makes perfect."
"You are a dutiful man." The Queen's clothes had been changed, so she took her hand and sat down on the soft couch beside her: "my palace is watching you and your sister have a bad relationship?"
Song Shuqi took a look at her and said in a soft voice, "Min Nu and her sister are not born of the same mother. It's normal to be alienated."
"Is it?" The queen asked faintly.
Song Shuqi some uneasy way: "people's women dare not lie."
The queen was a little nervous when she saw her. He said: "don't be afraid. I can see that the woman is very fond of performance. I'm afraid this kind of person won't get along with you."
"Niang Niang..." Song Shuqi said.
The queen patted the back of her hand with a soft look: "you can tell the truth
That's what I said
Song Shuqi hesitated to delete it. She pursed her lips and said, "what the empress said is that her younger sister always wants to be strong and always wants to be better
"I don't think so." When the queen thought of her, she sneered
In my palace, I'm afraid that you are competitive and seek fame and fortune, but you are indifferent and gentle. You are much better than her. "
Song Shuqi said hastily: "the empress Miao praised."
"Since you don't have a good relationship, is there something hidden in this marriage?" Asked the queen suddenly.
Song Shuqi's heart clapped. How could she suddenly mention it? Cautiously, she said, "there's no secret. Although she hasn't met her cousin several times, her mother says that others are good. Naturally, she is willing to." The queen took her hand and said in a soft voice, "if you are forced, you can say it. Our palace can decide for you. In our palace's opinion, you deserve better."
He is the best.
I don't know why, at this moment, song Shuqi's heart suddenly burst out this sentence, which made her stunned.
"How?" The queen asked softly.
Song Shuqi returned to her senses and said with a smile: "madam, although she has no feelings for her cousin for the time being, she has a little understanding of him, and she will never regret it."
The empress frowned: "if you are afraid of the rumor of repentance on your back, our palace can give you a marriage, so no one dares to say anything."
"Lady." Song Shuqi stood up, blessed her body, and said respectfully, "the daughter of the people knows that the empress has good intentions, but the daughter of the people has agreed, and there is absolutely no reason to go back."
"You are so stubborn," sighed the queen
Song Shuqi's eyes were not enough, but she was very firm.
"... that's all." The empress said helplessly: "I want to make decisions for you, but you have a master. It's not easy for me to force myself. I'll depend on you."
Song Shuqi bowed to salute: "thank you, madam."
The queen smile: "our palace does not care about your marriage, but you are so happy. How many people want to ask our palace to marry, but our palace is not willing to."
"It's the women of the people who don't know how to praise them. Don't blame them."
She was so respectful and courteous that the queen felt quite powerless: "it's just that, you don't have to ask any more. I don't want to mention the matter of marriage."
Song Shuqi pursed her lips with a smile: "Lady Xie, the daughter of the people."
"The banquet has to go on. Let's go with the palace." The queen stretched out a hand, and song Shuqi quickly held it and walked out.
The party in the afternoon was no surprise. Maybe it was all in the morning
Even song Shutong was a lot more honest. He didn't try to express himself any more. He looked quite self-contained.
Song Shuqi did not put down her heart, but was more alert.
At the end of the evening party, the queen was a little tired, so she went to have a rest first, leaving her maidservant to send some girls back to her house.
Song Shuqi also left with Bichen. After she got into the carriage, she said in a low voice, "Bichen, when you get home, you'll find a chance to send a message to your second cousin and ask him to come over. I have something important to discuss."
Bi trace see her look dignified, also dare not ask more: "yes."
When they arrive at the mansion, both song Zhengsheng and Yu's come up to ask questions. Song Shuqi retreats on the ground of exhaustion and does not entangle with them.
Back in the yard, she looked at Lu Rong: "how's mother?"
Lu Rong said in a low voice: "don't worry, miss. My wife is very good. I'm just worried about you. She said that when you come back, I'll let her know."
"Well, go ahead."
When song Shuqi returns to her room, she can't help but recall that the queen has mentioned the old story again. It's clear that what she said last time is very clear. Why does the queen have the idea to marry her again?
She couldn't figure it out. Until night, Shangguan brocade didn't come. Song Shuqi looked at the window from time to time.
Why hasn't there been any movement?
I don't know how long later, she was about to fall asleep. Suddenly, she heard a light sound of "bang". Suddenly, she became energetic. She turned her head and saw that the man was standing by the window.
"Here you are."
"Well." Shangguanjin closed the window and saw her sitting at the table in thin clothes
Side, turned round to take the outer garment to come over, put on for her, slightly reproach strange way: "how sit here?"? If you catch cold, what can you do
Song Shuqi shook her head and said in a soft voice, "how did you come?"
"Miss me?" Shangguanjin sat down opposite her, holding a small hand, laughing and joking: "it could have been earlier, some things delayed."
"You might be more serious?" Song Shuqi took back her hand, turned around and sat down beside the bed. She rolled up her legs. The whole person was a small group, which made her heart melt.
Shangguanjin's heart is overflowing with tenderness. Naturally, she should answer whatever she says: "OK, I'm more serious. What's the matter with you looking for me? But what happened in the palace?
”
Song Shuqi learned what the queen said one by one, and finally worried: "why do you think the queen said that? I always find it strange that she cares too much about it. "
After pondering, Shangguan jinlue knew something about it and said, "no
Think about it. "
Looking at his thoughtfulness, song Shuqi asked: "what's the matter? Do you have a guess? "
Shangguan Jinwen said in a voice: "what's the intention of the queen? It's nothing more than the balance of the imperial family."
