I am a ruler in troubled times

In the blink of an eye, it was the day when the eldest princess held a banquet. Song Jingming's marriage was almost inseparable, and he was preparing for entering the court next year, so he had no plans to go to the eldest princess's mansion for the banquet.

On the other hand, Song Jingjue is 17 years old and the marriage has not been settled yet, which made the second wife very angry. Ever since she received the invitation from the princess mansion, she has been thinking about going to the banquet. Catch Song Peiyu to complain.

Mrs. Ye was also going to the banquet, and after hearing that Song Peiyu was planning to go, she specially asked the embroidery room to make brand new clothes and send them to Tianhuju. Three sets of accessories were specially prepared.

The purpose of Song Peiyu's trip was not to see people, so she specially chose a bamboo-colored wide-sleeved brocade robe in the lightest color, and also chose light accessories. As soon as she finished her grooming, Song Jingjue's message came from outside the door. sound.

Song Jingjue could be heard complaining from a long distance away, "Being dressed up like a puppet, I will be exhausted and paralyzed before I go out." '

Song Jingjue's suffering was not in vain, at least Song Peiyu was really amazed after seeing Song Jingjue's outfit.

Contrary to Song Peiyu's light attire, Song Jingjue is wearing a royal blue brocade robe, with a ponytail tied up to reveal a full forehead, a golden hairpin inlaid with a thumb-sized sapphire of the same color as the clothes, and a gold and jade entanglement around his waist. The jade pendant was made into the appearance of a golden tiger stepping on auspicious clouds and roaring, which fit Song Jingjue's temperament.

Song Jingjue dressed up like this finally gave Song Peiyu the feeling that he was going to a blind date.

The two chatted for a while, or Song Peiyu unilaterally listened to Song Jingjue's complaints for a while, and Song Jingjue's mother sent someone to urge them to leave.

Song Jingjue glanced at the sky and said in despair, "Going out is the princess mansion, is it necessary to be so early?"

Song Peiyu, who also wanted to leave early, smiled without saying a word, and took the initiative to pull Song Jingjue out.

As soon as they left the gate of the Song Mansion, Song Peiyu and Song Jingjue vaguely saw the continuous motorcade at the gate of the Princess Mansion, and couldn't help but look at each other.

Thanks to Uncle Yunyang's face, Song Mansion's carriage followed Su Wang's mansion's carriage and entered Princess Mansion, otherwise, the time they spent queuing up would have been enough for the carriage to run a hundred round trips between Princess Mansion and Song Mansion .

It was nearly November now, and it would have been impossible to have a party in the garden even if it hadn't snowed.

Fortunately, there are two attics facing each other in the garden of the Princess Mansion. After filling the charcoal basin and opening all the windows, you can see the scene in the other attic from one of the attics. can hear.

Song Peiyu and Song Jingjue first followed Mrs. Ye and the second wife to meet the eldest princess.

From the time the two of them stepped into the attic, they could feel the different eyes gathered on them and the whispers in the corner.The two of them didn't look sideways, and followed behind Mrs. Ye and the second wife carefully.

The female officer next to the eldest princess quickly dragged Mrs. Ye and the second wife, and did not allow them to make a big gift. The little maid quickly placed a futon in front of Song Peiyu and Song Jingjue.

Song Peiyu took advantage of the Eldest Princess' cry, and quietly raised her head to glance, and unexpectedly found that the Eldest Princess looked younger than Emperor Yonghe, and unlike Emperor Yonghe's square face, she had a standard oval face, with the twitch between her eyebrows. His majesty is no different from that of Emperor Yonghe.The jet-black hair was loosely tied into a bun, and on it was only a phoenix hairpin with an oriental bead in it, nine feathers and nine beads, and the phoenix eye was a ruby, which was clearly the standard only for the empress dowager.

The eldest princess has met many people since morning.Just when I was a little tired and wanted to go to the back to rest first, I heard that Uncle Yunyang's family had arrived, so I forced myself to stay.

Under such exhaustion, the eldest princess still felt brightened when she saw Song Peiyu and Song Jingjue, so she said a few more things on purpose, and asked the female officer to fetch two pairs of unicorn jade pendants made from a piece of jade for the two of them. Greeting ceremony.

When someone came to announce the arrival of the people from Cheng Enhou's mansion, the eldest princess asked the female officer to take Song Peiyu and Song Jingjue to another attic.

Seeing the son-in-law, even though Song Peiyu grew up under Song Jinyu's lap, she lost her mind for a moment.

Song Jinyu's beauty lies not only in his appearance, but also in the majesty of his Patriarch Song.

The son-in-law was different, Song Peiyu couldn't even feel the so-called literati temperament in the son-in-law, only noticed the beauty.

Although they are all gender-neutral beauty, the son-in-law is different from the gorgeous beauty of the third prince's boy and girl, but a beauty with aura, as if all the aura of the world is gathered on that face.

It turns out that Yonghe Emperor's siblings are all face control, Song Peiyu can't help but wonder what kind of beauty Princess Su is.

The son-in-law's personality fits perfectly with his face, he didn't just say polite words, but his words made people feel like a spring breeze.If it weren't for his eagerness to hold Song Peiyu and Song Jingjuan and not let go, Song Peiyu might still be immersed in her beauty for a while.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Song Jingjue being extremely patient with his son-in-law, answering every question, Song Peiyu struggled for a while, but finally did not open his mouth to take Song Jingjue away.

The head of Huiyang county dared to tell Emperor Yonghe that he regretted his marriage with the third prince because of Wei Zhiyuan, let alone the son of a servant of the Ministry of Rites.As long as the head of Huiyang County dares to make trouble, no matter who it is with, the news will spread to the Song family, and her marriage with Song Jingjue will never come true.

If the county magistrate of Huiyang hasn't fallen in love with Wei Zhiyuan yet, and Song Jingjue likes it, then this might as well be a good marriage.

Song Peiyu came out of the attic under the pretext of changing clothes. On the way, he heard from the son of the Cui family who was leading the way that the third prince had arrived at the eldest princess's mansion from the palace early in the morning. At this time, he was taking a nap in the yard specially prepared for him by the eldest princess.

Song Peiyu first went back to the attic with Mr. Cui who was leading the way, and finally took Yin Bao to the courtyard where the third prince was resting when there was finally no one around.

Being stopped outside the courtyard, Song Peiyu wasn't surprised at all, she opened her mouth after finding a good reason, "Please help me pass on the third prince, Song Qite is here to thank the third prince for saving his life in Yang County."

Yin Bao shrewdly stuffed a piece of high-quality jadeite into the guard's hand, as if inadvertently turned the Song's wooden plaque on his waist, which represented his identity, towards the guard's eyes.

The guard's serious face softened a little, but he still didn't move immediately, and asked deliberately, "Are you Uncle Yunyang's family?"

Yinbao stuffed another golden nude for the guard, and said with a smile, "Brother Huiyan, our master is the youngest brother of the Patriarch, and he grew up by the Patriarch's side since he was a child."

After waiting for a while, the guards came out from the yard, and put the emerald and gold nudes into Yinbao's hands with a look of embarrassment, and said to Song Peiyu, "Your Highness told you not to take it to heart, and you don't need to thank me specially, Uncle Yunyang has already Thank you on your behalf."

Song Peiyu put her hand on the arms of the bodyguard and Yin Bao, and said with a smile, "Please help me pass the message, you can drink this little thing."

The guard carefully looked at Song Peiyu's expression, and saw that Song Peiyu was really not angry, so he regained his smile and put away the jadeite and golden nudes again.He also specially comforted Song Peiyu, the third prince didn't see anyone who came to ask to see the third prince, and it wasn't just Song Peiyu.

The private meeting failed, so Song Peiyu went back to the attic and waited.

Song Jingjue had already escaped from the son-in-law. Seeing Song Peiyu go back, he hurried over and complained, "Why didn't you tell me where you were going? I was going to die of anxiety if I didn't see you for a long time."

Song Peiyu blinked slyly, and said pointedly, "I'm not afraid of disturbing your big event, it's fine if you don't thank me, why do you still blame me?"

Song Jingjue was not as embarrassed as Song Peiyu thought, he waved his hand indifferently, and said, "My son-in-law pulls me to talk, I can't refuse, anyway, the final result is not up to me."

Song Peiyu didn't expect Song Jingjue to say that, and was about to ask Song Jingjue if he had something on his mind, when he saw the son-in-law and the third prince appearing around a strong man whose face was probably [-]% similar to Emperor Yonghe.

This blind date banquet is finally about to begin.

Attending a blind date banquet is also very particular. People like Song Jingjue who are eager to solve life's major issues will sit in the front row, but those who just come to join in the fun and see Song Peiyu first should consciously sit in the back row.

Song Peiyu and Song Jingjue could only separate again.

When Su Wang and his son-in-law gave way to each other, Chong Yi sat down on the right side seat.

King Su laughed when he saw this, and forced the consort to the throne by force, "This is at my brother-in-law's house, why should my brother-in-law be polite to me?"

Chong Yi is not interested in the blind date banquet at all, if the eldest princess didn't ask him to be there, he wouldn't want to leave the palace at all.

Fortunately, the cook in the Princess's Mansion always knew his taste. Everything on his table was made in the small kitchen alone, although King Su and his son-in-law always asked him to comment on some nonsense poems, calligraphy and paintings, and noisy and disturbing ones. There is music, but the food is delicious, and Chong Yi can still stay.

When it was Song Jingjue's turn to dance the sword, Chong Yi was willing to give him a straight look, and immediately remembered that he had seen this person who could barely tell that he was holding a sword before.

"Okay!" King Su rewarded Song Jingjue with the remaining half pot of wine on the table, and said with a smile, "I heard that your father wants you to find a job in the next year, so come directly to Jinwu Guard to find me."

Song Jingjue's eyes flashed brightly, he clenched the hilt of his sword tightly so he didn't shout out excitedly, thanked King Su restrainedly, but the son-in-law praised him and rewarded him, but he didn't listen at all.

Chong Yi couldn't quite understand the appreciation of King Su and his son-in-law, let alone Song Jingjue's almost irrepressible excitement, but he finally said other words besides 'good' and 'reward', "Okay, give me a sword tassel. "

The servant next to Chong Yi understood in seconds, and without changing his face, he took out a small box the size of a palm from under a pile of boxes containing the Four Treasures of the Study and handed it to Song Jingjue. It was filled with extremely clear gemstones, which was enough for the other party to create There is still gem sword tassel left.

After filling his stomach, being disturbed when he was drowsy, Chong Yi gradually became irritable, and finally when the female officer came from another attic with a purse and strings and asked him to comment, she excused herself to change clothes and leave the table.

Chong Yi didn't go far, he was in a small pavilion in a blind corner of the garden, where the two attics could not be seen.

Anyway, as long as King Su is around, he will be arrested sooner or later, no matter how far he runs, it is useless.

Not long after Chong Yi sat down, a man in a blue robe suddenly walked out from the only shelter inside the pavilion, and said with a surprised face, "Your Highness, what a coincidence."
