I am a ruler in troubled times

Song Peiyu divided the profits of Fenfangting into five shares, one of which was given to Xiangzao Zhuangzi as a turnover in Zhuangzi's account.One part was used to burn glass for Chuang Tzu to continue the experiment, and one part was used for Chuang Tzu to make gunpowder.

There are two copies left, so put them in your hands first.

After struggling for a while, Song Peiyu experienced the happiness of being rich for a long time.

Although Song Peiyu's life is not affected when she is in short supply, who can refuse the confidence of being rich?

The court will resume on the eighth day of the court, and the school will start on the tenth day.

Song Peiyu counted the few holidays left and was about to go to bed when she saw Linglong calling the little maids to come in with big bags and small bags, "Master, are you done with your work? You can see how to wear these clothes and accessories so that you don't feel uncomfortable on the way to the wedding ceremony." If there is any accident with the banquet at night, we must prepare at least three sets first."

Tomorrow turned out to be Song Jingming's wedding day, Song Peiyu slapped his forehead with one hand, if Linglong hadn't reminded him, he would have completely forgotten about it.

Fortunately, Ye Shi saw that Song Peiyu was suddenly busy, so she changed her mind temporarily and gave Song Peiyu what she was supposed to do during the wedding reception to others.

"The eldest madam said, if you have time to greet the relatives, you can join in the fun. If you don't have time, you can entertain guests in the mansion. If you don't show up from the beginning to the end, she will be angry." Linglong told Ye Shi's explanation Song Peiyu unfolded each set of clothes and accessories for Song Peiyu to have a look.

Of course, Song Peiyu didn't want to miss Song Jingming's marriage, so he specially asked Jin Bao to wait at the palace gate with his sign, and when the palace gate was unlocked, he sent someone to send a message to urge Song Jinyu to leave the palace.

Weddings, evening events, and formal ceremonies are at dusk, and the Song family's welcoming team starts after noon.

Although Song Mansion and Lu Mansion were only two streets apart, the procession to welcome the bride had to go around the entire West City, so that everyone would know that the Song family would only go to Lu Mansion after they got married.

Ding Xingwang, a member of the Lu family, was in an unprecedented crisis when Song Jingming entered.

Ritual, music, archery, imperialism, book, counting, he can still deal with it, but breaking a big stone in his chest is really not good.

Song Peiyu was very happy to watch the excitement, seeing that Song Jingming was really helpless, so she asked Song Jingjue for some advice.

Song Jingjue's eyes lit up immediately, and he trot away.

If anyone from Lu's residence noticed the direction Song Jingjue left, they would find Qianniuwei's mansion half a street away.

At the gate of the Lu Mansion, Song Jingming and the Lu Brothers had a stalemate meeting again, but no progress was made.

At this time, a group of people suddenly rushed out from the side, all of them were wearing Qianniuwei's clothes, and the leader in red was Song Jingjue, "Come on, brothers! Take this group of mandarin duck beaters away and turn around." I invite you to the best restaurant for a wedding banquet!"

The poor group of Lu's sons who blocked the door hadn't realized what happened suddenly, and they had already been carried away by the Qianniuwei who swarmed up.

With the sound of crackling firecrackers, the Song family's welcoming team finally entered the gate of Lu Mansion.

Someone from the side branch came to pull Song Peiyu to the front, and said repeatedly, "There are still female family members blocking the door, but unfortunately we can no longer use Qianniuwei. Uncle Nineteen must coax those noble ladies, the last hurdle of third brother's marriage It's up to you."

Song Peiyu immediately seemed to be facing a formidable enemy, but he couldn't hold back the clansman's strength, so he easily caught Song Peiyu to the front.

After a waste of effort, the bride was finally taken back to the Song Mansion, but Song Peiyu still couldn't be free.Song Jingming's marriage can be regarded as the most grand happy event in Xianyang after Emperor Yonghe made Xianyang the capital, and the political significance of it is also extraordinary.

There were all kinds of guests who came to the Song Mansion to participate in the wedding banquet. Not only were almost all the adults in the court, but there were also many small families who were still refusing the invitation of Emperor Yonghe to enter the court.

Song Peiyu returned to the Song Mansion, changed her clothes quickly and went to entertain the guests.

Although the main seats are all in Tianxing Pavilion, there are too many guests. In fact, there are running water seats in the entire Song Mansion, including Song Peiyu's Tianhuju, which is no exception.

Missing the last chance to prepare due to the matter of Qin Tianjian, Song Peiyu seemed to be in a hurry, but he didn't expect that it was Ping Zhang and Sheng Tairan who took the initiative to come to Tianhuju first.

Ping Zhang didn't see any of yesterday's embarrassment, and his face was full of joy.

Sheng Tai was different, he was a bit introverted, he didn't dare to look at Song Peiyu, and even quietly hid behind Pingzhang.

Both of them brought a special gift, which was for Song Peiyu, it was their communication.

Song Peiyu took the two of them to their seats in person, showing a wry smile, "Recently, there are too many things to rush together. When I remembered that today is a happy event, there was already a curfew. It was really rude of me not to send you an invitation."

When Sheng Tairan heard this, the uneasiness and embarrassment between his eyebrows dissipated a little, but he still didn't know what to say to Song Peiyu, and they rarely met each other when they were in school.

Ping Zhang, who also seldom interacted with Song Peiyu in school, was very familiar with him, "I knew you didn't send invitations because you looked down on us, so you came here uninvited."

Song Peiyu wasn't quite used to Pingzhang's naive way of speaking than Song Jingjue, but at this moment he was glad that Pingzhang talked a lot, he really didn't have so much energy to coax people to talk now.

Bo Yang and Wei Zhiyuan were invited by Jin Bao, but Xu didn't expect Song Peiyu to have a small banquet, so he didn't bring a gift.

Bo Yang still had his usual gentle and repulsive appearance.

Wei Zhiyuan was very abnormal, from the way he frequently looked at Ping Zhang and Song Peiyu hesitant to speak, it could be seen that he also knew what happened yesterday, at least he knew about Wei Zhong's punishment, and was deeply worried about it.

Then it was Luo Yong who was invited by Jin Bao. He didn't seem to be here for a banquet, but he seemed to be seeking revenge.

Song Peiyu took the initiative to say hello, but he also liked to ignore it, and stared at Song Peiyu with creepy eyes from time to time, but Heping Zhang could say hello together, maybe the two of them didn't have to think too much about talking.

During the period, there were also people who took the initiative to visit Song Peiyu and wanted to build a relationship with Song Peiyu.

Today is a day of great joy, as long as they are guests, they will not be turned away. These people have been arranged in other places, and Song Peiyu even went to toast and recognize them.

It was almost the time of the official ceremony, and Lu Jihe came late, "He was detained by his father just now to recognize someone. He came late, and he punished himself first." drank the wine in the glass.

So far, the East Palace Small Classroom is complete except for Chong Yi.

No matter how much they think about each other, at least in the days when the East Palace Classroom has not officially ended, they have to maintain the illusion of harmony.

Song Peiyu was about to persuade them to drink, and then took them to Tianxing Pavilion to watch the formal ceremony, when Jixiang suddenly came in from outside, bent down and whispered something in Song Peiyu's ear.

Lu Jihe squinted at Song Peiyu's surprised expression, and said loudly, "If there is something to be said secretly, don't we guests know?"

Song Peiyu was too lazy to argue with Lu Jihe on the big day, he said, "Mr. Mu, the Ministry of Rites, knows that we are all here, so he came here specially to join in the fun."

"Who? What is he doing here? Is there another table?" Ping Zhang picked his ears, as if he didn't realize that Mr. Mu, the Ministry of Rites, was their missed classmate.

There was a supporter beside him who didn't know if he was really stupid or not, and Luo Yong, who had already drank the whole pot of wine by himself, shook his head and agreed, "Yes, yes!"

Lu Jihe had a smile on his lips, as if he also noticed that the drinks in Tianhuju were unusual, and he was very happy to drink by himself.

The others were either relatively autistic or full of worries, and the originally lively atmosphere in the room suddenly fell silent.

When Song Peiyu saw Mu He, she was in a daze.

He originally thought that Mu Qing's facial features were similar enough to Chong Yi, but he didn't expect Mu He to be more like Chong Yi.

However, the trance is only for a moment, after all, the temperament of the two people is very different.

No matter how beautiful Chong Yi's facial features are, what others notice first is Chong Yi's temperament.Even with a lazy appearance, Chong Yi still gives people a great sense of oppression.

Mu He gave people the impression that he was easy-going, a bit like Mu Qing's temperament, but a bit worse than Mu Qing.

Song Peiyu suppressed many thoughts in his heart, got up and entertained Mu He to sit down.

Because of Concubine Mu Gui and Mu Shizhong, it was difficult for Song Peiyu to have a good impression of Mu He, so Song Peiyu had nothing to say to Mu He except to entertain Mu He to sit down.

However, Pingzhang's hostility towards Mu He was very obvious. From the moment Mu He entered the door, he dragged Luo Yong, who was half drunk beside him, talking nonsense, his voice almost knocked the roof over, and he didn't even look at Mu He from the beginning to the end. But he can always interrupt Mu He's words just right.

Sheng Tairan and Bo Yang were talking in low voices, maybe they both felt that they were out of place with Donggong Elementary School, but they could talk to go together.

Wei Zhiyuan was still silent about his own concerns, and Lu Jihe was also enjoying himself.

Song Peiyu simply seized the time to fill his stomach, and later he would have to hold back the groom's wine, that was physical work, he had to eat first.

Mu He tried to speak repeatedly but was interrupted by Ping Zhang, and no one helped him, so he fell silent over time.

The scene was inexplicably awkward for a while, and it happened that Jin Bao came to remind him, and Song Peiyu took advantage of the opportunity and proposed to take everyone to the main courtyard to watch the ceremony.

When the ceremony was completed, Lu Jihe suddenly appeared beside Song Peiyu, and said in a low voice, "The grievance between us, don't bully Fifth Sister because of your seniority."

Song Peiyu glanced at Lu Jihe, and was about to sneer, but saw the water in Lu Jihe's eyes, and fell silent immediately.

If the Lu family hadn't separated, Lu Jihe would be among the young masters blocking the door today.

Lu Jihe didn't mind if he didn't get a response, and left in a elusive manner.

Song Peiyu had a moment to spare, and saw Song Jingjue from a distance beside a person with exceptionally profound features. She had some guesses in her heart, and took the initiative to talk to Song Jingjue.

He had long heard that Murong Jing had the reputation of being a jade-faced general, and he really didn't look like a general, but rather a literati.

Murong Jing also knew about Song Peiyu, and the imperial decree of marriage clearly stated the good words of Nadong Palace, and his stupid son-in-law also said that Uncle Seven had asked His Highness for the imperial decree of marriage.

Before the imperial edict was issued, Murong Jing had a lot of hesitation about this marriage, but after receiving the imperial edict, Murong Jing felt that this was the best destination for her daughter.

Murong Jing knew very well what a person who was willing to be a son-in-law was.

In contrast, even if Song Jingjue only has six points, he can be set off by ten points.Besides, Song Jingjue is not bad, given Murong Jing's critical eyes on his son-in-law, he would give him eight points.

Therefore, Murong Jing also liked Song Peiyu who made the marriage happen.

Song Peiyu and Murong Jing praised each other for a while, seeing Murong Jing's kind and friendly attitude, they suddenly couldn't hold back their laughter.

Song Peiyu explained embarrassingly, "When the Liangyi Palace delivered things to His Highness, the palace people would often talk about some old uncles with His Highness. I also listened to it a lot, and thought that these old uncles were strict and rigid. Only after seeing General Murong today did I realize that I had misunderstood, and when I enter the palace in the future, I will definitely talk about this misunderstanding with His Highness, and ask His Highness if he has had the same misunderstanding as me."

Old uncle is often used to refer to elders who are not from the same family but are very close.After all, Murong Jing is not in the family tree of the Mu family, it is reasonable for Song Peiyu to classify Murong Jing as Chong Yi's uncle.

Murong Jing immediately realized that the Song family's brats were not all idiots.

The eldest son who got married today and Song Shaoyin in front of him can sell his stupid son-in-law, and let the stupid son-in-law count the money again.

But this is not a bad thing in Murong Jing's view. He came from a humble background and was not recognized by his family since he was a child.

Song Jingjue was different. Although his father was a bastard, he was able to support each other in court with the Patriarch of the Song family.

Song Jingjue also grew up with the eldest son and Song Shaoyin since he was a child. They are a real family with the same spirit.

In a short while, Murong Jing had an idea.

It is enough for him to take care of his own family and his daughter and son-in-law. When he dies, how many people in the Mu family will remember him?

"There is such a thing?" Murong Jing's eyes widened in surprise, and he pulled Song Jinyu's sleeve and said, "Coincidentally, there are many people today, so I will show you what the other old uncles look like, lest they be misunderstood by His Highness gone."

Song Peiyu suddenly smiled and rolled her eyes, and raised the jade pendant she just got, "It seems that I am lucky today."

Murong Jing laughed loudly, "Who doesn't know that your Fragrance Court was sold out yesterday, if Jing Jue hadn't brought soap and soap, the wife and the little girl would have been among the crowd who slapped their wrists, baba Holding silver and wanting to give it to you."

"But they are all elders, so they should give you a greeting." Murong Jing waved at the older people in the distance, lowered his head and winked narrowly at Song Peiyu, "I'm afraid they don't have the right shape. , I have given the gift of meeting, and I still look forward to it day and night, waiting for the junior to return the gift."

Song Peiyu followed Murong Jing to recognize many people, but kept silent about what he said to Murong Jing, only said that he had heard His Highness talking about them in the East Palace, and today he had the opportunity to greet a few old uncles for His Highness.

Since Emperor Yonghe had not ascended the throne, Chong Yi was not close to the members of the Mu clan, and there have been many rumors about Chong Yi in the Mu clan over the years.

It made everyone feel very complicated about Chong Yi.

It stands to reason that they and Chongyi's mother clan have long been inseparable from each other, and they should be Chongyi's natural alliance.

But Chong Yi's attitude towards the mother clan is unclear...they can only wait and see.

It wasn't until the marriage of Murong Jing's daughter that they saw hope again.

No matter whether Song Peiyu said that His Highness would talk about them or not, it gave them new hope. Maybe the relationship between His Highness and the mother clan was not as bad as they imagined, at least His Highness knew that there were people like them.

When Song Peiyu was called away by Song Jinyu, Shen Liang couldn't hold back his breath at first, and couldn't wait to ask Murong Jing, "Your Highness, do you intend to reconcile with the Mu family?"

The excitement and happiness in the eyes of Yun Chen and Deng Xian were no more subtle than that of Shen Liang.

Ever since Emperor Yonghe proclaimed himself emperor and Lu, Cheng, Lin, and Xie were willing to join the court, the Mu family became embarrassed.

You have to know that the Mu family was willing to form an alliance with Emperor Yonghe back then, and married his daughter-in-law to a mud leg to fill the house, but he was unwilling to be dominated by Lu, Cheng, Lin, and Xie in Yongzhou forever.

At that time, no one could have imagined that Mu's foresight was correct, and Emperor Yonghe would also successfully proclaim himself emperor.

However, Mu's status not only did not exceed that of Lu, Cheng, Lin, and Xie, but was even suppressed by the Song family who turned out to be out of nowhere.

Now that the Song family is cooking oil, Lu, Cheng, Lin, and Xie are devouring what the Song family can't eat, but they, the Mu family, are beaten at both ends and can only eat leftovers that the former didn't want.

If things go on like this, is there still a place for them to live in Youzhou?

Murong Jing saw the expressions of the three people in his eyes, and ruthlessly pierced their illusions, "Who said His Highness will reconcile with the mother clan?"

Shen Liang couldn't hear this, and retorted without thinking, "But Song Shaoyin is His Highness's companion, if it wasn't His Highness's intention, how could he..."

"Who here is from His Highness's mother clan, and who is surnamed Mu?" Murong Jing interrupted Shen Liang.

Deng Xian, Yun Chen and Shen Liang looked at each other, and finally silently set their eyes on Murong Jing.

Murong Jing looked back with a sneer, forcing them to look away.

They really didn't dare to say that Murong Jing's surname should be Mu when Murong Jing was in a bad mood.

Since having a son-in-law named Song Jingjue, Murong Jing has rarely gotten angry with idiots, but he also didn't bother to mention these idiots that had nothing to do with him, leaving them behind and talking to other familiar people.

For this marriage, Emperor Yonghe specially decreed to extend the curfew for an hour.

When the guests were gone, Song Peiyu thought that on this special day, the eldest brother and sister-in-law must have felt a lot, so she didn't bother Song Jinyu, and went straight back to Tianhuju.

On the second day, there were matters such as the bride's confession and genealogy, and Song Peiyu was required to be present.

When Song Jingming's marriage was completely over and the annual leave was over, Song Peiyu still didn't find a chance to tell Song Jinyu about the sapphire string on his wrist.

After the initial excitement, Song Peiyu felt that it was not prudent to talk to Song Jinyu about the sapphire string.Anyway, he wears the sapphire string on his hand every day, Song Jinyu will find out sooner or later.

It was Song Jingming's big wedding, but after Song Peiyu was so busy, she felt that she had grown up too.

It was the first grand court meeting after the year, and everyone looked at the neatly arranged seats in Qintianjiankong, and no one dared to mention this matter.

On the contrary, Emperor Yonghe was kind enough to buy all the auspicious fruits from rich merchants in Yanzhou and reward them to his ministers at the first court meeting in the New Year, so that everyone would be "joyful".

Chong Yi's attitude towards Song Peiyu has not changed from before. If he insists on saying yes, he is more at ease with Song Peiyu's order. Not only the account books of the private treasury are free for Song Peiyu to look at, but even the small package sent to the Eastern Palace is sent to Song Peiyu's room in the Eastern Palace. inside.

Only then did Song Peiyu know that Emperor Yonghe separated the East Palace alone, and there were separate ledgers for daily expenses, rewards, and the monthly silver of the servants, all of which went to the private treasury of the East Palace.

His old man was probably afraid that Chong Yi would not be able to support these people, so he would send good things to Chong Yi every now and then, completely ignoring these things, not to mention raising one East Palace, seventy or eighty would be enough.

After all, Chongyi's East Palace is different from the East Palace of all dynasties. Although he lives in the East Palace, he is not a prince, not even a prince.

There are only two or three subordinate officials, and their daily work is to write flattering notes and send them to Chongyi.

Song Peiyu spent a day sorting out all the books of the Eastern Palace, and even changed some small details.

Eunuch An probably recognized the sapphire string on Song Peiyu's wrist, and besides being close to Song Peiyu, he also showed respect that he didn't have in the past.As long as Soong Peiyu told him, he would carry it out without saying a word, and he would never restrain Soong Peiyu with words like 'rules' and 'Your Highness'.

The next day, Song Peiyu entered the palace as usual on a day when there was no court meeting and the school was closed.

He brought a box of new storybooks to the storyteller in the East Palace.

After hearing this, Chong Yi looked at Song Peiyu a few more times, with rare surprise in his eyes, "Did you think of other stories?"

Song Peiyu smiled reservedly, "I have written down all the stories that I have seen and remembered in the past these days, and specially organized and brought them here to pass the time for Your Highness. If Your Highness can't wait, I can tell His Highness a short paragraph first. "

Chong Yi's movements of fiddling with Jiulianhuan became slower and slower. He felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't refuse the temptation of the story.

Song Peiyu's story is much more interesting than the Nine Links that can be broken at the touch of a pinch.

With a muffled sound of 'dong', the Nine Links in Chong Yi's hand fell into the box half a person's height under his feet.

That box was full of Nine Links that hadn't been untied yet, and the other box next to each other was filled with Nine Links that had already been untied.

Chong Yi is concise and concise, "speaking"

Song Peiyu took a sip of warm tea to moisten her throat, walked not far from Chong Yi, and spoke loudly.

Song Peiyu personally wrote the story this time, and deliberately used it to disturb the newly married Song Jingming, in order to make the story more acceptable to people of this era.

This story is a typical ancient version of the hero's promotion. The protagonist has a miserable start, and after the ups and downs of the plot, he climbs to the peak step by step.

Chong Yi usually remembers the name of the main character at most when listening to a story, but this time he remembered a supporting character with few episodes.

The name of the supporting role is Chen Cong, the only son of a general.

He was exceptionally bright but not born enough to inherit the general's mantle.

Because of the conflict between the court, Chinese and military, it was difficult for Chen Cong to enter the court no matter how talented he was, and his future was so delayed.

The general was seriously injured on the battlefield and returned to the capital.

Obviously the defeat on the battlefield was due to false news sent by the court, and the general managed to turn the tide so that the frontline did not completely collapse. However, after the general was seriously injured, there was internal strife among his subordinates, and no one could take charge of the big event. In the end, the defeat was still disastrous.

Chen Cong was taken to the execution ground while drinking and having fun, and watched with his own eyes that the seriously injured general was quartered by five horses, and then he was also quartered by five horses. He couldn't even speak a word because he was gagged.

After finishing this passage, Song Peiyu coughed lightly, "Let the storyteller tell His Highness the rest of the story, my voice is useless."

Chong Yi looked at Song Peiyu inexplicably, and suddenly said, "The Chen Cong in your story is me."

"I dare not." Song Peiyu lowered her head and said from the bottom of her heart, "I dare not write you into the story."

He did assign certain characteristics of Chong Yi to the supporting characters in the story who had a tragic ending.

It can only be said that many miserable supporting roles have the shadow of Chong Yi, but it cannot be said which miserable supporting role Chong Yi is.

After all, the stories are written in black and white, and Song Peiyu is not sure whether Emperor Yonghe will know these stories.He is crazy, so people think that the person who ends badly in the story is Chong Yi.

In fact, in order to prevent anyone from discovering the shadow of Chong Yi in the miserable supporting roles, Song Peiyu also spent a lot of thought, so that these supporting characters have characteristics that are completely different from Chong Yi.

Chong Yi still wanted to speak, but Eunuch An suddenly came in from outside the door, and said to Chong Yi and Song Peiyu, "There is a young eunuch in Qinzheng Hall to deliver a message that His Majesty has a decree for the East Palace, and Eunuch Meng has already gone this way with the decree. "

Chong Yi sat on the chair indifferently, pointed at Song Peiyu, "You go and receive the order for me."

Song Peiyu looked at Chong Yi expressionlessly, trying to make him understand with his eyes that he really couldn't do it.

"Oh my lord, you are not embarrassing Song Shaoyin." Mr. An urged repeatedly, "Not only our own family members, but also the adults of the Ministry of Rites came to announce the decree. If you don't show up, it will be rumored that you are not in good health." The second thing is that someone will definitely impeach you in person in the future, so let you explain."

Eunuch An tried his best to let Chong Yi understand that if he saves trouble now, he will be in big trouble in the not-too-distant future.Finally, Chong Yi reluctantly went to change clothes.

The imperial decree brought by Eunuch Meng was beyond everyone's expectations.

Emperor Yonghe asked Chongyi to draw up the charter of Zhan Shifu within three months, and detailed it in a handbook.After the approval of the three provinces, Zhan Shifu will be officially established.

Chong Yi took the imperial decree and threw it into Song Peiyu's arms.

For this reason, Eunuch Meng took another look at Song Peiyu, but Song Peiyu missed it because of distraction.

Since the previous dynasty, Zhan Shifu has been dedicated to assisting the prince.

At this juncture, Emperor Yonghe wanted to set up the Zhan Shifu, and solemnly issued an imperial decree for Chongyi to draw up the regulations.

This is a signal to formally establish the crown prince.
