I am a ruler in troubled times

The next day, two sets of Congwuguan official uniforms belonging to the Shaoqing of Honghe Temple were sent to the Song Mansion and the Lu Mansion respectively, along with the official books and official seals of the Shaoqing of Honghe Temple.

The official seal sent to the Song Mansion was Zuo Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, and correspondingly, the official seal sent to the Lu Mansion was You Shaoqing of Honglu Temple.

Without the imperial decree, Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe can be regarded as the first ones of the Zhao Kingdom if they first obtained the court uniform and the official seal.

Prior to this, they never thought that they would enter the court as the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple.

Song Peiyu had already arrived at the East Palace, and was discussing with Lu Jihe what to do with the envoys of Chu State, when a young eunuch from Qinzheng Palace sent a letter, saying that they should go home immediately.

The rumor was unclear, but both Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe had a premonition.

Just now they said that they didn't know what kind of posture they should take to face the officials of Honglu Temple, but before they reached a conclusion, Emperor Yonghe made a decision for them.

Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe clasped their hands together and said in unison.

"Brother Lu is overjoyed."

"Brother Song is overjoyed."

The people in Donggong Elementary School who were watching were all blank and astonished.

After the two hurriedly left the East Palace and returned home, Luo Yong rubbed the back of his head and asked, "Why don't I know what's going on between them?"

At this time, the smarter people, such as Wei Zhiyuan, Bo Yang, Sheng Tairan and others, although they don't know what charades Lu Jihe and Song Peiyu are playing, they will not easily show their timidity, and they all show subtle smiles, as if they already know In the end, only the profound blankness in their eyes betrayed their true situation.

Only Ping Zhang, who is as simple and honest as Luo Yong, is willing to join in.

"I don't know either!" While speaking, Pingzhang turned his head to look at other people around him, and everyone who looked at Pingzhang immediately looked away.

In the end, Ping Zhang could only place his hope on Chong Yi who was burying his head in eating the cake, and asked without thinking, "Does Your Highness know?"

Chong Yi raised his eyelids, took a deep look at Ping Zhang, and turned to look at Eunuch An who was standing beside him, "There is a happy event, thank you."

Eunuch An happily responded. In his opinion, except for Chong Yi, all the young masters who attend classes in the Eastern Palace Primary School can be regarded as members of the Eastern Palace.

The sons have a happy event, that is, they have a happy event in the East Palace.

Today is double happiness, a great auspicious omen.

As for not knowing what a happy event is, and not being able to think of what to reward to suit the occasion, it has never been a problem in the eyes of Eunuch An.

Chong Yi is not short of money at all, and with Qihuo City as his fiefdom, he doesn't have to worry about money.In other words, what Chongyi needs to worry about is different from others. What he needs to worry about is that if the money is spent too slowly, the treasury will not be able to put it down.

That being the case, then what is expensive and what is rewarded is always right!

Either being aboveboard, or quietly raising their ears, the people who wanted to get the answer from Chong Yi's mouth were stunned and couldn't help but look at each other.

Is this over?

What is the happy event between Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe?

They remembered that Lu Jihe seemed to have a younger sister who was the same age as Song Peiyu. Could it be that these two were going to become a family?

So many people thought of this possibility at the same time, but only Luo Yong said it.

While clapping his hands excitedly, he made a conclusion, and was deeply proud of his cleverness.

Sitting in an inconspicuous position, Bo Yang immediately noticed the changes in Chong Yi.

Chong Yi put down the half-eaten cake.

Chong Yi set his sights on Luo Yong.

Chongyi...

Bo Yang's whole body trembled, no matter what Chong Yi wanted to say or do, he had to interrupt it!

"How is it possible?!" Bai Yang glared at Luo Yong, and said with a strong vow, "Lu Jihe will never marry his sister to Song Peiyu!"

Unless Lu Jihe is crazy and has a sworn feud with that sister.

Luo Yong was obsessed with the feeling that he was smarter than everyone else, how could he hear such a simple and rude rebuttal from Bo Yang.

He was about to open his mouth to argue with Bo Yang, but he felt his sleeve being pulled vigorously.

Luo Yong followed the strength on the sleeve and looked over.

His good brother Ping Zhang is winking.

Luo Yong suddenly forgot what he was going to say to Bo Yang.

It's not because he understood Ping Zhang's face, but because he was so ugly that Ping Zhang played him speechless.

Ping Zhang didn't know what Luo Yong was thinking, he was deeply relieved to see Luo Yong calm down.

Ever since Chongyi returned to Xianyang, Pingzhang felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.

Not only Song Peiyu was valued by Chong Yi, but also Lu Jihe and Bo Yang were valued by Chong Yi.

Fortunately, both Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe will follow the path of civil servants, and Bo Yang is powerless to change anything even if he is valued by Chong Yi because of his status.The trust of these people won by Chong Yi will not affect Ping Zhang's status in Donggong Primary School for the time being.

Ping Zhang also didn't want to engage in clique formation in Donggong Elementary School, he just didn't want to see Luo Yong offend Bo Yang for no reason.

Moreover, Bo Yang's relationship with Lu Jihe and Song Peiyu is closer, so he must have his reasons for being able to swear to the death.

No matter what Bo Yang said was right or wrong, Luo Yong didn't need to continue to argue.

With the well-informed level of the East Palace, Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe will know what happened after returning home.

When Bo Yang saw Luo Yong calm down, his breath of relief was deeper than that of Ping Zhang.

He was really afraid that Luo Yong would provoke Chong Yi without saying a word.

In case Chong Yi says something that shouldn't be said...

Bo Yang refused to think about this possibility.

The rest of the people in the flower hall saw everything that happened in a short period of time. With different thoughts, most of them chose to serve tea to cover up their emotions.

Chong Yi, who hadn't gone to get a small cake for a long time, suddenly pointed to Bo Yang and said, "Reward"

Eunuch An was confused, but he never questioned Chong Yi's decision, and responded without hesitation.

Bo Yang also picked up the teacup, he urgently needs to calm down now.

It was none other than Song Er who gave Song Peiyu the court uniform and the official seal.

He used power for personal gain openly and aboveboard, and wanted to personally participate in the whole process of his younger brother's entry into the court, and the people in the Ministry of Rites had nothing to do with him.

Because of Emperor Yonghe's oral order, Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe were asked to go to the place where the Chu envoys temporarily stayed today to greet Song Peiyu, so Song Peiyu went directly back to Tianhuju to change into the new court clothes.

After wearing for so long a court dress with a black base and white deer embroidered on it, and now suddenly changed to a navy blue court dress with cranes embroidered on it, Song Peiyu was still a little uncomfortable.

After he has a real job, the honorary officer will not take it back, and his waist is still the set of accessories worn by the prince's guests, which are far more gorgeous than the accessories that belonged to the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple.

After dressing Song Peiyu neatly, Jin Bao took two steps back, looked at Song Peiyu for a while, opened the cabinet by the wall, took out a dark green finger wrench from the bottom drawer, and handed it to Song Peiyu respectfully.

"This color is not as good as pure black for you. It's better to wear a finger ring, which can also make the color of this suit more vivid." After Jin Bao closed his mouth, he couldn't help but muttered, "Or I will give you another Let me find out a set of court clothes for you."

Another set of court clothes is that of the prince's guests.

Song Peiyu took the wrench from Jin Bao's hand and put it on the thumb of his right hand, and said with a light smile, "No need, I'm going to visit King Xiang with Lu Jihe."

Originally they were both young ministers of Honglu Temple, he was on the left and Lu Jihe was on the right, which was enough to make people irritated.

If he went wearing the court clothes of the prince's guests again, Lu Jihe might become furious after seeing him face to face, and just walk away.

Jin Bao's vision was really good, even better than the maid in Song Peiyu's room who was in charge of clothes and accessories.

After all, the eyes of the maids are limited to the precepts and deeds of the wives, or the embroiderers and craftsmen who make accessories.However, Jin Bao followed Song Peiyu all day long, and he could often see how the top princes in Xianyang were dressed.

Just a dark green finger wrench with edges and corners made Song Peiyu, who was wearing this navy blue court dress, look more stable.

Song Er continued to take advantage of his position to do his own thing aboveboard, and when he saw Song Peiyu came out after changing clothes, he was full of praise for Song Peiyu.

It was as if seeing Cong Wupin's official uniform for the first time, even Song Peiyu's ordinary court uniform could boast flowers.After learning that Jin Bao found out the finger on purpose, Song Er generously rewarded Jin Bao with the board in his hand.

Song Peiyu can actually understand the mood of the second brother.

But as a civil servant, his second brother was still a civil servant who often had to deal with various ministries, and his talk was so overwhelming that Song Peiyu couldn't even find a place to interject.

"Who is the Minister of Honglu Temple?" Taking advantage of Song Er's panting, Song Peiyu cleverly changed the subject, asked questions, and at the same time raised his feet to the porter.

He wants to follow Emperor Yonghe's oral order and visit King Xiang.

When it came to business, Song Er didn't praise Song Peiyu for being energetic.

Even so, this simple question will not embarrass Song Er, "Last month, the old Honghe Temple minister passed away, and His Majesty repeatedly persuaded the old Honghe Temple minister to serve for another three years, but he had to take into account the old Honghe Temple minister's The physical condition is finally determined. The new minister of Honglu Temple is Deng Xian."

"Huh?" Song Peiyu's pace was a little slower. He felt that the name seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.

This is no wonder to him, after all, he has been away from Xianyang for nearly two years.

After returning to Xianyang, he started to organize the ceremony of Chong Yi's canonization as crown prince non-stop. He didn't have time to understand the power changes in Xianyang during the time he was away.

Fortunately, Song Er's reminder was not only considerate, but also timely, "It is a small family attached to the Mu family, and Xianyang Golden Leaf Square is his family's business."

Gold Leaf Square is not a place for printing gold leaves, but a kind of paper. There are irregular fine gold dots on the surface of gold leaf paper, but it does not affect the ink to swim on it.

Gold leaf paper is as comfortable as rice paper when used for writing, and it is even more sought after by aristocratic families because of its gorgeous appearance.

In Song Peiyu's eyes, there is nothing special about gold leaf paper other than a bit fancy.

In the eyes of noble families, gold leaf paper is a miracle and a symbol of status.

It's a pity that Deng's is not the only one who can make gold leaf paper. Among the nine countries, the main production area of ​​gold leaf paper is still in Chen State. It is extremely difficult for Deng's gold leaf paper to be supplied to Zhao's aristocratic family.

When Song Er mentioned the Mu family, Song Peiyu immediately got a little impression of Deng Xian.

When Song Jingming got married back then, the marriage between Song Jingjue and Miss Murong had just been finalized. Murong Jing was invited to participate in Song Jingming's big wedding, and Song Jingjue introduced him to Murong Jing.

Both he and Murong Jing intended to befriend each other. At that time, the new concubines in the harem had not yet entered the palace, and Concubine Mu was still Concubine Mu.

Song Peiyu wants to divide the power of the Mu family first, so that Chongyi's position can be more stable.

He purposely told Murong Jing that the Murong Jing people in Liangyi Palace spoke of was very different from the Murong Jing he had seen, and he also tentatively asked Murong Jing to help him introduce other "old uncles" of His Royal Highness.

Whether Murong Jing saw through Song Peiyu's little trick at the time, Song Peiyu didn't know, but Murong Jing followed Song Peiyu's wishes and introduced Shen Liang, Yun Chen and Deng Xian to Song Peiyu.

These people are the patriarchs of other small families. These small families defected to the Mu family for various reasons. The interests of the family are completely tied to the Mu family.

But after Mu's ship is already sinking, if these people are given a better choice so that they don't have to go down with Mu's ship, these people will definitely wish for it, and they will definitely not be willing to follow Mu's shipwreck.

After Song Peiyu chatted with these people, before they had time to make trouble, Mrs. Mu made a foolish move. He was too aggressive in the game with Mrs. Lu, which made Mrs. Yun completely sad and disappointed, and directly switched to the East Palace.

Thanks to Mu's assistance, although Donggong can only get [-]% of the minerals of Yun's two iron mines to the south, he has already firmly held Yun's two iron mines in his hands.

Song Peiyu suddenly felt that the gold leaf paper was also quite interesting.

Maybe he should have a good conversation with Lord Honglusi.

Song Er didn't return to Song Mansion until Song Peiyu's carriage was completely out of sight.

He first went to Songhe Hall, and talked about today's scene with Mrs. Song who was looking forward to it. The main point was to tell Mrs. Song how high-spirited Song Peiyu was when she put on her new official uniform, which made Mrs. Song laugh frequently.

Song Er didn't leave until he saw Mrs. Song's tired face.

Return to the Ministry of Rites and nod, and there will be no major events today.

Song Peiyu ordered the carriage to be parked a street away from the place where the envoy from Chu State lived. After closing his eyes and recuperating, he continued to speculate on the reason why the Chu State Council suddenly sent an envoy to Zhao State.

After about a stick of incense passed, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and the person who strode into the carriage was Lu Jihe who also changed into the court uniform of Shaoqing from Wupin Honglu Temple.When King Xiang saw Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe, surprise remained on his face, apparently he did not expect Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe to come so soon.

Out of etiquette, Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe proposed to pay their respects to Princess Lingyun first.

King Xiang waved his hand, the expression on his face changed several times, and finally he couldn't help laughing, "Early this morning, the eldest princess and the head of Huiyang County came to pick up people, and bluntly said that the eldest princess's mansion has everything. It's fine for them to go, Lingyun has already been taken away."

Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe looked at each other indiscriminately. With the eldest princess' temperament, they could already guess the chaotic scene at that time.

But the Eldest Princess and the head of Huiyang County are people with sense of proportion, and they believe that Princess Lingyun will not make any mistakes in the Eldest Princess' Mansion.

The three tacitly skipped the topic of the little girls, and turned to talk about the customs of Zhao and Chu.

Although Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe were young talents in Zhao Guoneng, and even the well-deserved leaders among the young princes, they still couldn't take advantage of the old fritters like King Xiang.

This is not to blame for Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe, it is indeed because the world King Xiang has seen is too vast.

King Xiang not only went deep into Dangxiang several times to facilitate the stable mutual market between Chu State and Dangxiang, but also personally led a team to the Western Regions a few years ago.

After returning to Chu State, he recorded everything he saw and heard on the road and wrote it into travel notes.

Song Peiyu smiled and said, "If I had known that the prince had these experiences, I would have brought His Highness along. He likes to hear these strange experiences that he has never heard of."

When King Xiang heard this, a surprised smile appeared on his face, but the smile did not appear in the depths of his eyes, "What's so difficult about this? This king has already recorded all these experiences in the book. If His Royal Highness is curious, this king will The rubbings of the book will be given to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Song Peiyu didn't follow the trend, he let out a muffled laugh as if he couldn't help it, and looked at King Xiang with apologetic eyes, "This is impossible, Your Highness is the most impatient to read books. I heard that the scholar told some new stories, he I can listen to it for several days without feeling bored, and I can even listen to the same story several times. If it is replaced by a black and white book, I will fall asleep if I can’t hold on for a quarter of an hour.”

King Xiang was surprised when he heard the words, "Really?"

Lu Jihe, who had not spoken for a long time, testified, "Of course it is true."

Of course it's fake.

Chong Yi is interested in the storyteller's novel stories, but he doesn't know how to abandon the dialogue book like walking shoes, and he doesn't want to fall asleep after reading the book for a quarter of an hour.

It was Song Peiyu who forbade Chong Yi to read the script without moving for a long time, and always reminded Chong Yi to rest his eyes. As time passed, Chong Yi stopped reading the script very much.

Even if you are interested in the content of the dialogue book, you can directly hand the dialogue book to the storyteller.

Lu Jihe couldn't help but admire Song Peiyu's dexterity, and just a few words dissipated King Xiang's unhappiness.

He didn't know if Song Peiyu deliberately mentioned Chong Yi at this time, because he wanted to let King Xiang tell Chong Yi a story to understand the more specific situation of Dang Xiang and the Western Regions.

But Song Peiyu immediately declined King Xiang's books, and promptly emphasized that Chong Yi could not read books and only liked to listen to stories, which undoubtedly greatly lowered King Xiang's vigilance.

In the end, this conversation ended with Soong Peiyu saying to King Xiang, 'When I go back, I must remind my Highness to visit you'.

Instead of showing the vigilant look as before, King Xiang was full of anticipation, and even thought about what to say to Chong Yi, and specially told Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe a little about the past.

Then it just stopped at the most ups and downs place, deliberately hanging Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe's curiosity.

Looking at the triumphant expression on King Xiang's face, Lu Jihe felt that Song Peiyu was such a clever little ghost, that Song Peiyu not only achieved his goal, but also scratched King Xiang's itch.

Looking at King Xiang's appearance, it is clear that he likes to tell others about his experiences.

Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe, who have already seen some clues, coaxed King Xiang tacitly with each other, so that King Xiang couldn't help it, and King Xiang, who was about to tell the most exciting part, held back again .

In the end, it was King Xiang who urged Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe to bring Chong Yi earlier, and also offered to mention that if it was not convenient for Chong Yi to leave the palace, he could also go to the East Palace to tell Chong Yi a story.

The three of them chatted happily, and they talked until the sun went down without knowing it.

Song Peiyu took advantage of the opportunity and proposed to take King Xiang to Mingkelou for dinner.

King Xiang had already brought people to Mingkelou to see the strange things, but he would not refuse the invitation from the owner of Mingkelou because of this.

By the time everyone came out of the Ming Ke Building, it was already the next day.

From Prince Xiang, who had the best capacity for alcohol, to Lu Jihe, who had a fair capacity for alcohol, to Song Peiyu, who could only fool people with alcohol, they all collapsed in Ming Ke Lou.

Fortunately, Ming Ke Building is Song Peiyu's property, and there is a place in the backyard where people can rest temporarily, so there is no inconvenience.

It was the second day when there was a court meeting, and both Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe had a very difficult time.

When Song Peiyu went to stand next to Chong Yi as usual, she was almost scratched off by Chong Yi's extremely sharp gaze.

After coming down to court, Song Peiyu wanted to go out with Lu Jihe immediately to find King Xiang.

Taking advantage of the early weather today, I can take King Xiang to the hot spring village in the suburbs of Beijing.

It just so happened that King Xiang implicitly said yesterday that the hot pot in Xianyang is delicious.

In Zhuangzi, not only can you eat hot pot, but you can also let King Xiang pick vegetables by himself, which is also a special flavor.

As for taking Chong Yi to listen to King Xiang's story...

Now King Xiang is more anxious to tell stories, but they don't need to worry.

They first took King Xiang to see the great rivers and mountains of Zhao State, and the prosperous scenery of Xianyang. When King Xiang came to face Chongyi again, his thoughts would naturally be different from before.

Song Peiyu's plan was perfect, but Chongyi's gaze was hard to ignore, and Song Peiyu didn't dare to ignore it, so she could only follow behind Chongyi obediently, and returned to the East Palace first.

Poor Lu Jihe waited outside the palace gate for half an hour without waiting for Song Peiyu, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and his facial features suddenly deformed in anger.

These two bastards!

Song Peiyu in the East Palace was in no better mood than Lu Jihe who was falling into anger.

He didn't know why the atmosphere suddenly became so... uncomfortable?

After he and Chong Yi returned to the East Palace, they immediately sat down in his usual place.

Although the wines in Ming Ke Lou are all good wines, even if they are drunk, they will not cause people to suffer from hangover symptoms.But after all, Song Peiyu is born more than half of others.

It's hard to see it on weekdays, but it's hard to avoid being a little sleepy at this time.

But Song Peiyu didn't expect that after he sat down, Chong Yi didn't.

Not only did Chong Yi not sit down, but he deliberately walked to the chair where Song Peiyu was sitting, lowered his head and looked at Song Peiyu without blinking, his legs were also tightly attached to Song Peiyu's legs, making Song Peiyu stand up and avoid it.

Song Peiyu looked at Chong Yi blankly and innocently. Facing Chong Yi's black and white eyes, Song Peiyu suddenly felt a little... Guilty?

What a joke, what guilt does he have?

If Chong Yi is interested, he will naturally know what happy event he had after returning home yesterday, and where he went afterwards.

As a courtier, he has no obligation to explain the trajectory of his actions to Chong Yi.

Song Peiyu lowered her head, actively avoiding Chong Yi's sight.

Chong Yi didn't allow Song Peiyu to dodge, he put his hand on Song Peiyu's chin, and his strength gradually increased.

'Snapped'

The clear and loud voice resounded in the extraordinarily wide flower hall, and there was even an echo.

Song Peiyu slapped Chong Yi's palm, and knocked off Chong Yi's hand that was about to lift his chin.

Song Peiyu could clearly see that Chong Yi's hand stopped at the final landing point after he knocked it down, and the arc of five fingers did not change.

He obviously didn't use any force, and even his palms didn't hurt, but Chong Yi's fair palms quickly turned bright red.

Song Peiyu suddenly felt complicated.

He felt as if he had been touched, but he couldn't help feeling distressed.

Song Peiyu raised her eyelids to look at the expression on Chong Yi's face, for fear of seeing Chong Yi showing an expression similar to being at a loss.

The reality slapped Song Peiyu awake, instead of being sad and helpless, Chong Yi had a bewildered smile on his face.

Song Peiyu suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of crisis. He couldn't describe the specific feelings that Chong Yi brought to him, but somehow felt the fact that he was weak, pitiful and helpless.

Song Peiyu coughed lightly, trying to get rid of this strange atmosphere, "Your Highness insists on letting me come to the East Palace first, but do you want to discuss something important with me?"

Chong Yi still did not speak, and looked at Song Peiyu with fixed eyes.

Song Peiyu had already had experience in dealing with this, and Chong Yi didn't speak, so he kept asking this question repeatedly.

At the latest when his throat starts to dry up, Chong Yi will definitely answer this question.

As long as Chong Yi is willing to speak, the strange atmosphere will disappear.

Song Peiyu gave herself a thumbs up in her heart, she is so witty, as expected of him.

Before Song Peiyu's voice became dry, Chong Yi spoke, he hated others lying, so he would not lie either, "It's nothing."

The corner of Song Peiyu's mouth raised a triumphant arc, and he was about to accuse Chongyi of being capricious and delaying his official business of entertaining King Xiang when he had nothing to do.

It's a pity that he just opened his mouth, before he could make a sound, he was interrupted by Chong Yi.

"You are from the Eastern Palace, so you should be in the Eastern Palace no matter what you have to do." Chong Yi spoke in a straightforward tone, leaving no room for discussion.

These words were extremely harsh to Song Peiyu's ears.

Chong Yi is a fool, why should he open his mouth and say that he is from the East Palace.

Bisheng Song Peiyu couldn't say anything to refute for a while. Although he has been appointed as the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, he is still a guest of the prince. To a certain extent, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a member of the East Palace.

The two looked at each other for a while, and Song Peiyu looked away first.

Forget it, anyway, he is sitting and Chong Yi is standing, why is he in a hurry?

Chong Yi blinked blankly, Song Peiyu was angry again, why this time?

He clearly hasn't had time to tell Song Peiyu what happened last night.

After Song Peiyu was drunk, he even recognized him as the Bing King.

And... still want to hug and kiss?

From an angle that no one noticed, Chong Yi's ears gradually turned bright red.

In the silence, Eunuch An suddenly knocked on the door, poked half his head in from the door, and told Chongyi that Princess Chongyi was here.

Chong Yi still stood in front of Song Peiyu with his legs tightly attached to Song Peiyu's legs.

Hearing this, he nodded and signaled Eunuch An to bring the eldest princess in directly, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Song Peiyu's posture at all.

However, Song Peiyu couldn't bear to be bumped into by the princess in this posture. She moved the chair under her back, distanced herself from Chong Yi, and immediately stood up. Just when the princess entered the door, she put the chair back to its original position.

I have to say that in this era, especially Lu Jihe, who likes to make up his mind, Song Peiyu has unconsciously become more conservative.

When Song Peiyu first arrived in Qizhen, Song Peiyu and Chongyi were able to fight each other shirtless and drugged without any grievances. Now think about the scene at that time... Forget it, why make things difficult for yourself.

The eldest princess was not surprised to see Soong Peiyu there after entering the door. She smiled and begged Soong Peiyu for auspiciousness, "Song Shaoqing is overjoyed! Just entering the court, the emperor is so important, and the future is bound to be limitless."

A mere fifth-rank Shaoqing from Honglu Temple is nothing. It is rare that Emperor Yonghe is willing to entrust the reception of envoys from Chu State on behalf of Zhao State to a young man who has never been on official business.

Song Peiyu bowed and bowed, and said firmly, "I thank the princess for her good words."

The eldest princess immediately lost interest in continuing to talk to Song Peiyu.

She always felt that Song Peiyu didn't like her very much.

Song Peiyu is so powerful, not only can the emperor and father be full of praise, but also can coax her emperor brother so well, the emperor's character is so unpredictable, even if Song Peiyu is said to be obedient Pass.

But Song Peiyu is willing to put on her the patience and good temper that was put on her emperor brother.

It's not that every time she sees Song Peiyu, she feels as if she saw the teacher of Donggong Primary School.

Although he was not afraid of Song Peiyu, he always felt that Song Peiyu had a different kind of majesty and indifference.

Fortunately, the father wanted to betroth her to Song Peiyu.

She doesn't want it!

Thinking about the possible life after living with Song Peiyu, the eldest princess felt extremely boring.

The eldest princess opened the box she was holding in her arms and showed it to Chong Yi, "Look, brother, I made two more purses for you to wear!"

Song Peiyu, who was about to sneak away, heard the words, retracted the legs that had already been stepped out, and put her eyes on the purse in the box.

At least in terms of color, the purse this time is more suitable for Chong Yidai to go out than the tender pink purse last time.

A black base with auspicious clouds embroidered on it.

A turquoise base with green bamboo embroidered on it.

It's just that the stitches on the green bamboo are clearly the Suzhou embroidery that Eunuch An specially pointed out to Song Peiyu last time.

Song Peiyu's eyes darkened, and her gaze swept over the princess's expectant face.

Mr. An will not lie to him, because there is no need.

It is known that the Eldest Princess does not know Su embroidery, but the Huiyang County Lord knows Su embroidery. Moreover, during the New Year, the purse that the Eldest Princess gave to Chong Yi has the same fragrance as the sachet sent by the Huiyang County Lord to the East Palace.

The day before yesterday in the rockery, I heard the conversation between Chong Yi and the head of Huiyang County. No matter how meticulous and intelligent Song Peiyu was, I still felt that some things were not very clear.

But there is one thing, Song Peiyu is very clear.

The head of Huiyang County likes Chongyi, and has the will to become the crown princess, otherwise he would not specifically emphasize that the envoys of Chu State and Princess Lingyun would be satisfied with the crown prince's side concubine.

But Song Peiyu couldn't figure out why the Huiyang county magistrate acted as if he had already acquired the position of the crown prince and concubine.

The Song family has already decided to give up the competition for the crown princess of the East Palace. If there is a choice of concubine, they will push some side girls to deal with it.

With Emperor Yonghe's hatred for Mu Shi and Mu Xu, Mu Shi was not qualified to compete for the Crown Princess from the very beginning.

Even if Lu Jihe misunderstood his relationship with Chong Yi and didn't want to push his own sister into the "pit of fire", the Lu family would not give up supporting the other girls of "Lu Chenglin Xie".

Concubine Lin De, who was once a famous concubine in the Empress Palace of Yonghe Emperor, was promoted to the position of Concubine De by Lu Cheng and Lin Xie.

In the competition for the crown princess, the Cui family basically had no right to speak, and was even inferior to Lu Chenglin Xie's girl.

Judging from the current situation, the head of Huiyang county wants to become the crown princess, unless the eldest princess insists on asking the Emperor Yonghe to decree that the head of Huiyang county can be crowned princess regardless of the stability of the East Palace and the court.

But the eldest princess has an extraordinary status in the royal family. Both Emperor Yonghe and King Su respect the eldest princess from the bottom of their hearts.

Judging from the performance of the eldest princess in the past, Chong Yi was also regarded as the most important, followed by the eldest princess, and the next row was the turn of Huiyang county master.

Song Peiyu didn't believe that the eldest princess would suddenly change her temperament in Chongyi's marriage without warning, and suddenly put the head of Huiyang county first.

What is the confidence of the head of Huiyang County?

Song Peiyu intuitively felt that the answer to this question was very important, but she racked her brains and couldn't think of a reasonable explanation.

Chong Yi glanced at the purse in the wooden box, and instead of taking out the purse and tied it around his waist like last time, he nodded and reached out to pick up the wooden box.

For the first time, Chong Yi's movements were not as fast as Song Peiyu's.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, the wooden box was already in Song Peiyu's hands.

Facing Chong Yi's sudden sharp gaze, Song Peiyu smiled, and handed the wooden box to Eunuch An again.

No one noticed, before Song Peiyu handed the wooden box to Eunuch An, he shook his wrist a few times, so that the green bamboo on the turquoise purse was in the center of the box.

Mr. An wanted to give a few words of praise, but when he looked down, he saw the green bamboo embroidery pattern. He looked at the eldest princess with surprise, and said repeatedly, "Congratulations princess, the princess has finally learned Su embroidery."

The eldest princess not only did not show a happy and proud expression, but her face became stiff visible to the naked eye. She rolled her eyes slowly, raised her hand and stretched it under Chongyi's eyelids, and said softly, "Thanks to Huiyang Teach me, but Suzhou embroidery is so difficult to learn, look at my fingers."

Chong Yi lowered his head, but the point of his gaze was not the princess's hand with obvious pinholes, but the princess's guilty eyes, "Then you haven't learned it yet."

The eldest princess's increasingly stiff expression froze completely.

She opened her mouth, as if she wanted to refute, but she gave up in the end, lowered her head and whispered, "But Suzhou embroidery is really beautiful. Only the green bamboo was embroidered by Huiyang, and I embroidered the rest by myself. Will go out and talk nonsense, this matter will not be spread at all.”

The more she explained, the more the eldest princess felt aggrieved, she suddenly raised her head and gave Eunuch An a hard look, and when she turned her head, tears had already flowed down her nose to her chin.

It's a pity that since Eunuch An found out that he had said the wrong thing, he stood there with his head half down and didn't give the princess any reaction.

Chong Yi took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and stuffed it into the eldest princess's hand, whispering, "Don't cry."

It's good that Chong Yi didn't speak, but after he spoke, the eldest princess cried even harder, and the tears fell one after another like beads with broken strings.

Song Peiyu quietly took two steps back, and was immediately spotted by Chong Yi.

Chong Yi immediately turned his head, fixed his eyes on Song Peiyu, and secretly warned Song Peiyu not to sneak away.

Song Peiyu was confident, curled the corners of her lips, bowed to Chongyi Shi Shiran to salute, then left the flower hall briskly, and left the East Palace directly.

The more the eldest princess cried, the more miserable she became, and she was about to lift the cover of the flower hall.

Chong Yi rubbed his forehead, he had never encountered a few things that he found difficult to deal with, but the eldest princess could account for more than half of them.

"Don't cry, wipe your tears." Chong Yi repeated patiently.

The eldest princess turned a deaf ear and continued to choke.

Don't look at the eldest princess crying so much, she found that when Chong Yi tried to pull the veil in her hand, she reacted very quickly, and immediately took off the hand covering her eyes, and held the veil tightly with both hands, letting Chong Yi Not even a corner can be seen.

Chong Yi had no choice but to take out a new veil from the other sleeve, and awkwardly pressed it on the place where the eldest princess had tears on her face.

To be honest, with Chong Yi's unknowing strength, this blow actually made the eldest princess's face a little hurt, but she laughed, hiccupped, and let Chong Yi continue to wipe her tears with her face up, while apologizing intermittently , "I, wrong, I shouldn't ask Hui Yang to help me, I just want you to go out with the purse I sent you."

The movements of Chong Yi's hands paused, and he said mercilessly, "Huiyang's purse is far worse than that of Donggong."

The best embroiderers in Xianyang are all in the East Palace, and the things used by Chongyi are even more exquisite than those of Emperor Yonghe.

Although Huiyang county master has learned Su embroidery, it is only learned, and has nothing to do with mastery.

If it wasn't for the purse being sent by the eldest princess, how could it be possible to get close to Chong Yi's body.

It's not that the eldest princess can't understand this truth, it's just that she cares too much about Chong Yi, so she can't figure it out for a while.

Now I heard Chong Yi say that Huiyang's purse is not very good, although I think it should not be, but there is still a sweet smile on his face.

The gate of the flower hall was suddenly pushed open, and King Su came in aggressively with his unsheathed sword in hand, "Little brat, did you make Qingluan cry?!"

King Su was discussing court affairs with Emperor Yonghe in Qinzheng Hall when he suddenly heard someone report that the eldest princess was looking for the prince, and then crying came from the flower hall.

Who would dare to cry in the East Palace except the eldest princess?
