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

Su Zhilan was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, girl?"

"What I mean is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not stupid. If he goes to Concubine Zheng today, it would be like embarrassing me."

"Even if he considers the face of the Shen family, the Su family and the Ning Wang Mansion, he will not do such a thing."

Sure enough, not long after, Song Hongshen came back.

As soon as he entered the door, he said apologetically, "Are you waiting impatiently? Something delayed me on the way."

Su Zhilan thought, was she delayed by watching Concubine Zheng's sword dance? But she didn't ask.

Song Hongshen walked over to Su Zhilan and saw that the peanut shells and longan shells were piled up like a small mountain on the small table in front of her. He looked at the porridge and vegetables on the table and asked, "Are you hungry? Why didn't you eat?"

Song Hongshen thought she would say, "I'm waiting for Your Highness," or "I'm not hungry."

Unexpectedly, Su Zhilan wiped the dried fruit crumbs off her hands and said, "I'm afraid someone has poisoned me."

Song Hong thought about it for a moment and understood what she meant.

He walked to the door and told people to take away the cold food and bring in some warm food.

Then he said, "It's okay. Even if he is poisoned, we will have a companion on our journey to the underworld."

Su Zhilan: ...

Afterwards, Song Hongshen went into the bathroom, changed into casual clothes, and came out without calling for anyone to serve him.

After coming out, the two sat down at the table, and Song Hongshen said seriously: "I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, I have checked the people in the kitchen."

"As for these palace maids, I have also checked their origins."

"But whether you can be of use and whether you are loyal or not, you will have to wait and see."

Just at this moment, the palace maids brought in hot porridge and a few refreshing side dishes.

Su Zhilan stared at the porridge and swallowed.

Seeing that she didn't reply, Song Hongshen continued, "If you find it difficult, I can help you."

Su Zhilan came back to her senses and said, "No need. This is my duty. I dare not trouble His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

She said this in a very polite manner.

Song Hongshen frowned slightly and tapped her lightly with his chopsticks, "Speak nicely, there's no need to do this in private."

It didn't feel awkward for her to say it, but it felt awkward for him to hear.

Su Zhilan was not someone who wanted to be restrained, so after hearing what he said, she said, "We don't have to follow so many rules in private, so can I have dinner now? We can discuss these official matters after we're full."

She knew the rules of the palace. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't eat, she would have to endure it even if she starved to death.

But seeing Song Hongshen's face glowing with drink, it was obvious that he was not as hungry as she was. If she didn't take the initiative to tell him, she didn't know when she could have the meal.

Upon hearing this, Song Hongshen immediately said, "Eat quickly, I've been talking too much."

He sent the servants away and served her porridge himself.

While she was drinking porridge, he picked up some food for her with chopsticks and asked, "Did you just talk about business?"

After Su Zhilan swallowed two mouthfuls of porridge, she felt as if she had suddenly come back to life.

He raised his eyebrows and said, "For me, handling these matters in the East Palace is just like His Highness attending court to handle government affairs, isn't it?"

"For me, it's business."

She felt that there was no difference between a woman getting married and a man entering officialdom.

Court officials enter the government to serve the emperor, and women serve their husbands after marriage.

When court officials enter the government, they must make friends with their colleagues; when women get married, they must maintain good relations with their sisters-in-law and relatives.

When court officials enter the government, they have to manage the people and affairs under them; when women get married, they have to manage the inner house.

So in essence, there is no difference, women still have to endure the pain of childbirth.

From this perspective, it is actually harder for a woman to get married than for an official to enter the government.

Of course, she didn't say these words to Song Hongshen, but continued to drink porridge with her head down.

She was really hungry. She drank two bowls of porridge in a row and ate a lot of side dishes.

Later, Song Hongshen forbade her to drink it, saying that it was too late and it was difficult to digest.

After eating two bowls of porridge, Su Zhilan leaned back in her chair and started yawning.

Seeing this, Song Hongshen smiled indulgently, ordered someone to remove the food, and signaled Su Zhilan to go to bed.

Because the two of them had not yet consummated their marriage, although they slept in the same bed, two quilts were prepared on the bed.

For fear that Su Zhilan would fall to the ground, Song Hongshen deliberately let her sleep inside.

After Su Zhilan got on the bed, she pressed herself against the wall inside, fearing that she would bump into Song Hongshen.

Song Hongshen didn't say anything and moved towards the bed consciously.

Judging from the width between the two people, there is enough space for another person to lie down.

I don’t know if it’s because Song Hongshen was on the bed, but Su Zhilan felt more energetic after lying down.

Song Hongshen blew out the lamp, and the room instantly became much darker.

Su Zhilan stared, looking at the carvings on the ceiling of the bed in the faint candlelight outside.

"Why aren't you sleeping?" Song Hongshen turned around and asked.

Su Zhilan suddenly spoke up, "What happened to the maid Wanwan mentioned last time?"

This was when the old lady of the Qin family celebrated her birthday last time. Song Wanwan mentioned that there was a maid in the Song family who almost climbed into her third brother's bed.

He said at the time that he would tell her later.

Song Hongshen was stunned, wondering why she remembered this.

But he still said, "Pick the tendons and throw it out."

Su Zhilan didn't expect this to happen. She raised her hand and looked at her wrist in the light.

Like looking for where the tendon is.

Song Hongshen regretted it after he finished speaking. What if he talked about such bloody things on their wedding night and scared her?

Just as I was about to say something else, I saw Su Zhilan put down her hand and asked, "Did she touch you?"

Song Hongshen pursed his lips in the darkness, "Why do you ask?"

Su Zhilan turned around and looked at his profile. "Why else would you pick her tendons? Where did she touch you?"

Song Hongshen coughed awkwardly, "I didn't actually touch it, just a little bit."

These words sound a bit like a declaration of innocence to Su Zhilan.

Seeing that Su Zhilan was curious, he explained it in more detail.

She was listening attentively at first, but soon, the sound of even breathing was heard.

The palm-sized face was nestled in the soft pillow.

Song Hongshen smiled helplessly and reached out to help her cover the quilt.

The next day, Song Hongshen got up early and went to the martial arts training ground as usual.

Su Zhilan was not woken up from her sleep, but was woken up by Baiguo.

"Your Highness, it's time to get up. Today we have to go and pay our respects to the Emperor and several concubines in the harem, so we can't be late."

Su Zhilan opened her eyes. Although she still felt tired, she had finally rested.

Shuanghua and Shuangye came in with others and helped the Crown Princess to stand up.

Naturally, the one who served closely was Baiguo.

While changing Su Zhilan's clothes, Bai Guo whispered, "Your Majesty, Concubine Zheng has been confined."

"House arrest? What did she do?" Su Zhilan asked in confusion.

Bai Guo couldn't help laughing and whispered, "She danced with the sword in Merlin last night and offended His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

It was said to be a collision, but everyone could see that it was clearly an attempt to seduce His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and was punished by him instead.

Sword dancing?

She seemed to be more like a bitch.
