A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

The prince said in a cold voice: "After everyone settled down in the courtyard in the afternoon, I was worried about King Zhongyong, so I took Honglian to see him."

"I'll be leaving after sitting for a while, but Song Hongshen said he didn't bring any servants with him today, so he wants Honglian to stay and help make a pot of tea. After the tea is made, he will send her back."

"I have waited and waited, but Honglian has not come back. It has been more than half an hour. I now suspect that Song Hongshen did this on purpose."

Shen Zhixiu pondered for a moment. Based on his understanding of Song Hongshen, it would be extremely difficult for the prince to plot against him.

He smiled and said, "Maybe it was the loyal and brave king who left someone behind to make tea."

Seeing Shen Zhixiu's disapproval, the prince said with his eyes wide open: "Do you believe it, Lord Shen? A man and a woman alone in a room, just to make tea?"

Shen Zhixiu secretly shook his head, thinking that the prince was still far from being as cunning and strategic as him.

He could only comfort the prince softly, "Don't worry, Your Highness. Let's go and take a look."

On the way there, the prince said again: "Sir Shen, I have sent someone to invite Third Madam Shen. Since this matter involves female relatives, Third Madam Shen has to come forward to handle it."

Shen Zhixiu said: "This is as it should be. Your Highness has thought it through carefully."

But he gave the prince a meaningful look. Is he eyeing the marriage between the Song and Su families?

At this time, the person sent by the prince to deliver the message had arrived in the main courtyard.

In front of the three sisters, the man told the story.

Su Qingyu's face turned pale. After sending her people away, she told Feicui to help her change clothes.

Regardless of whether it was as the prince said, she had to go and see.

Su Shunci and Su Zhilan were both single girls, so it was not convenient for them to show up in public for such things, so Su Qingyu did not plan to take them with her.

Su Zhilan said, "Big sister, I must go today."

Su Qingyu was puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Su Zhilan explained seriously: "If this is true, I have to go and see who the loyal and brave king is. After all, there is an engagement."

"If it's fake, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be so disappointed if I don't go."

When she said the last sentence, Su Zhilan showed a sly smile.

Su Qingyu thought for a moment and said, "Then let's go together. Ah Ci should also come with us."

The three sisters in the Su family are all relatively calm and composed in the face of difficulties. However, her calmness was gained through the blood and tears lessons of her previous life.

Su Shunci's calmness was due to Lin Wuchen's careful teaching.

Only the fifth sister is naturally calm and composed.

The three sisters changed into clothes suitable for meeting guests and walked towards the guest house.

On the way, Su Shunci asked Su Zhilan, "If this is true, what is Fifth Sister going to do?"

Su Qingyu gently nudged Su Shunci and said, "She is still young, how can she understand these things?"

Then Su Zhilan said calmly: "Just do what needs to be done."

I still don’t know what’s going on. It’s a waste of energy to think about anything now.

When the three of them, along with the maids and servants, arrived at the gate of Song Hongshen's courtyard, the prince and Shen Zhixiu also arrived.

The three sisters paid their respects to the prince. Su Qingyu then apologized to the prince, saying that she was ill and was afraid of passing her illness to His Royal Highness the Prince, so she did not come out to greet him.

Fortunately, the prince's target at this time was Song Hongshen, so he generously asked Madam Shen San and the two young ladies to stand up.

At this time, Mu Shan in the yard heard the sound and came out.

When Mu Shan opened the door, the prince was talking to Shen Zhixiu: "Sir Shen, Song Hongshen must give me an explanation for what happened today."

"There is one more thing I want to tell you in advance. The female officials under my command will not be concubines, not even Song Hongshen."

When he said this, the prince glanced at Su Zhilan, thinking that the fifth young lady of the Su family would have to go back crying and cancel the engagement.

But Su Zhilan had a decent smile on her face, and did not show any displeasure or fear at all because of the prince's words.

When Mu Shan heard what the prince said, he sneered in his heart. It seemed like he was here to catch an adulterer?

Seeing Mu Shan coming out, Shen Zhixiu asked, "Where is your prince? Is Miss Hong Lian still here? If they are both here, please ask them to come out."

Mu Shan's face was not looking good, and he stammered, "In reply to Lord Shen, our prince is not convenient to see guests at this time."

At this time, Mu Shan had already thought about the scene in his mind for a while, especially the scene where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saw Honglian on Rong Shizi's bed.

Seeing Mu Shan like this, the prince became more certain of what he was thinking.

He said sternly, "Sir Shen, what do you think we should do? The ladies-in-waiting around me are not there for Song Hongshen to bully."

Shen Zhixiu sneered in his heart. The prince really knew how to flatter these people. Just because they said they would be ladies-in-waiting in the East Palace in the future, did they really become ladies-in-waiting?

Not everyone can be a female official in the palace. Even if he is the prince, he cannot cover everything with one hand.

But Shen Zhixiu didn't expose it. He looked up at Mushan and had some guesses in his mind.

Mu Shan was also smart. He took advantage of the prince's inattention and gave Shen Zhixiu a look.

Shen Zhixiu understood and coughed lightly, "Then what is your highness going to do?"

At this time, Su Yuanzhou also got the news and came over from his own yard.

Seeing that several people were gathered at the door, he stepped forward and asked, "What's going on? What do you look like? You look like you are going to collect Song Hongshen's body."

Su Shunci pulled Su Yuanzhou aside and whispered, "Brother, although it's not yet time to collect the bodies, it's still pretty serious."

She told Su Yuanzhou what had happened, and Su Yuanzhou's face darkened.

But just like what Shen Zhixiu thought, he also didn't believe that Song Hongshen would be schemed against by the prince to this extent.

Su Yuanzhou walked behind Shen Zhixiu without expressing any opinion.

The prince said in a cold voice: "If it really comes to that, I can only ask the Song family to give an explanation to the East Palace."

Shen Zhixiu nodded, "Your Highness is right. No matter who did this, they must give an explanation to the East Palace."

When the prince heard what Shen Zhixiu said, he felt he had heard a satisfactory answer.

With his hands behind his back, he said to Mu Shan in a deep voice, "Why don't you go in and call Song Hongshen out? Do I and Lord Shen have to wait for him to finish his work?"

Just as he finished speaking, he heard a man's unhappy voice behind Mu Shan, "What happened? I was sleeping soundly and was woken up."

After crossing the Mu Mountain, Song Hongshen finally saw the person coming and bowed, "It turned out to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I didn't know His Royal Highness was coming here, so I didn't go out to greet him. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

The prince stood there in a daze. How come he was okay?

"Where is Honglian?" the prince asked.

Song Hongshen looked puzzled, "Miss Honglian stayed for a while and then left. I don't know where she went."

The prince ordered Yan Da, the leader of the guards beside him, "Go in and look for her. She has a history of fainting. Don't let her fall somewhere without anyone knowing."

Song Hongshen stepped aside and did not say anything to stop him.

Not long after, Yan Da came out to report, "Your Highness, Miss Honglian has not been found."

The prince was startled. He looked around and saw that Rong Yi was not there. Suddenly he remembered something.

But before he could open his mouth, a guard walked up to Shen Zhixiu and wanted to report in a low voice.

The prince said, "What can't you say in front of us?"

Shen Zhixiu signaled to the guard to speak directly if he had anything to say.

The guard then reported in a deep voice, "Your Highness, a girl suddenly ran out of Prince Rong's courtyard. She was in a mess and was shouting for help from Your Highness."
