how do you know i'm a man

Qingming thinks about old friends.

There was a drizzle, and the court ladies and eunuchs watched from afar the Empress Dowager standing on the stone bridge in the imperial garden, facing the falling flowers and flowing water to pay tribute to the late emperor, and no one else was allowed to approach, leaving only one eunuch by her side.Being alone is really infatuated and pitiful.

The queen mother's cat recognized the master, and ran from the Palace of Compassion to the Imperial Garden by herself, and jumped into Song Yun's arms in a few steps.

Song Yun hugged the cat in one hand, and threw the peach blossom petals into the water with the other, making the fish huddle together and come out of the water.

"Do you want to eat fish? Can you swim?" Song Yun made a gesture to throw the cat into the water, but when the cat hugged his arms tightly, Song Yun smiled and said, "I'm kidding. Ciduo, let the imperial dining room prepare something else for you..."

Chen Meiren was still dressed as an eunuch, because Song Yun's face changed suddenly on the spot when she was frightened by what she said in the palace, and she repeatedly thought about how to deal with it, but now seeing that Song Yun didn't care about her intentions at all, and only cared about teasing the cat, it was too arrogant. Cursed: "The demon concubine!"

Song Yun's fingertips were stained with peach blossom juice, rubbed it between Maomao's eyes, and tapped a piece of pink.

Turning his head, with a smile, the rouge mole between his eyebrows is as bright as a star.

"Chen Meiren's scolding has demoted Ai's wife to a concubine." Song Yun slowly followed the fur on the cat's back, "It would be more appropriate to call her the Demon Queen."

The other person was greatly surprised, gritted his teeth and said, "You... are shameless!"

Song Yun was not in a hurry or annoyed: "The previous curse is invalid after all, I don't care about it. I called you wrong, and you call me Yaofei. It's good enough, but you call me shameless again, it's not good. Tell me, Who are you and why did you disguise yourself as the late emperor's concubine?"

The other party blushed and turned sideways, "I'm not..."

"There will be a banquet to pray for the late emperor in the evening. The Empress Dowager and Chen Meiren will be present at that time, so don't waste time. If Pei Jili asked you to meet me like this, you should no longer keep your secrets from me."

"First Qi Chou, then Pei Jili, you demon queen, how can you be worthy of the late emperor!" Chen Meiren clenched her fists and glared.

Song Yun looked at his knuckles, which had turned white due to exertion, and his bones were too big, which was different from that of a woman.I had doubts before, but now I am sure, he is the same as himself.

Song Yun still just smiled, not at all afraid that he would do something, "Name. Real name."

No matter how angry you are, you can't hit a woman, not to mention that the other party is still smiling.The opposite party quickly vented his enthusiasm: "Chen...Chen Zhiyun."

"Is there a word?"

"There are... words and festivals."

Song Yun looked at Chen Zhiyun's gloomy expression, said her name as if she was in pain, and suddenly remembered that Qi Yin had asked herself the same question on her wedding day.

"I have never opened my arms in my whole life because of my emptiness. This feeling is very painful, and I understand." Song Yun said sternly.

Chen Zhiyun sneered: "Do you understand? You have been studying hard for more than ten years. You had a bright future, but your family was ruined because of a traitor. You have been incognito for many years and even have to give up your manhood. Dare...how do you understand!"

Why can't you understand?I've been a woman much longer than you.At least you haven't been exiled and pierced with an arrow.

Song Yun smiled wryly: "Just pretend that I don't understand. I think it was the late emperor who saved you and gave you a new identity to survive. Husband and wife are one. You don't thank me. Why bother confronting me?"

Chen Zhiyun showed disdain on his face: "You are also worthy of talking about being a husband and wife with Your Majesty! I am only sorry for Your Majesty! If Your Majesty knew about your affair with Qi Chou, how could you be killed by your cooperation!"

Song Yun frowned upon hearing the words. Hearing this, did he think Qi Yin killed himself?

"If it is said that my fate is too hard to kill the late emperor, I can't argue with it. But it is nonsense to say that I joined forces with Jinshang to murder." Song Yun looked around and covered the ears of the yellow raccoon in his arms, " Fortunately, Huang Gui has a strict manner of speaking, if others hear this, we will all be in trouble."

The cat twisted, unable to break free, and meowed twice.

Chen Zhiyun spoke harshly, but lowered his volume: "What nonsense! I once heard Qi Chou calling your name while drunk, saying that he hated His Majesty for taking his wife away. Although His Majesty used to be sick, he has always cared for you carefully. Surely you can live a long life, why did your Majesty die the moment you came? It must be you, a flirtatious demon queen, who murdered Your Majesty!"

Song Yun sneered: "In vain I thought that the late emperor kept you in the harem because he trusted you and cherished talents. I didn't expect you to be such a dull person. It was a waste of the late emperor's time to protect you."

"You! What did you say!" Chen Zhiyun became even angrier.

"I did have a relationship with Jinshang before I entered the palace, but that was a few years ago, and I didn't know that he was so interested in me. But, thinking about it now, it makes sense." Song Yun looked down at her face The corner of her skirt curled her lips into a light smile, "It's rare in the world for me to be so naturally beautiful and intelligent. Even if it's an emperor, what's so strange about falling in love with me at first sight?"

Chen Zhiyun's face was flushed, maybe he was angry, maybe he wasn't.

"It may be true that beauty deceives people. But it is wrong to say that I murdered the late emperor. The late emperor took the initiative to marry me. I can plan it? The imperial physician diagnosed that the late emperor died of a disease and blood depletion. This is what I can plan? The late emperor passed on to the present As evidenced by the decree affixed with the jade seal, all the adults in the cabinet have tested it, so I can plan it? Just a few words will make evil thoughts recklessly, repaying favors will turn into grudges, and the methods are so inferior. Why bother with such brains and temperament? Go to the front court to fight, even if you look down on the demon queen, you are not worthy to be an opponent."

Chen Zhiyun was speechless after some speeches, and after a while he said angrily, "Sure enough, as Pei Huan said, it was wise for the late emperor to marry you."

It took Song Yun a moment to realize that the "Pei Huan" Chen Zhiyun was talking about was Pei Jili.

Huan is his name, and Ji Li is his character.

Some names are as famous as people, and some names are far from their personalities.

Pei Xiaomao's ice-cold face really has nothing to do with Huan.

"He let you watch the palace examination for scholars, so you can think about it. Maybe it's the late emperor's last wish." Song Yun said, "Have you ever thought about when you will take off your palace clothes and go to Qianming Palace as a scholar to answer your questions and show off the truth?" You have embraced the talent of Lingyun all your life?"

After poking at the sore spot, Chen Zhiyun looked depressed: "At first, the emperor allowed me to change my name and surname for reference in the next session, but now..."

"Enke this autumn, do you dare to take the exam?" Song Yun looked at him.

"Enke?" Chen Zhiyun raised his head, eyes shining, "Where did Enke come from? Kang Guo will open Enke next year, and our country has not—"

"I'll go and tell the new emperor, and I'll have it." Song Yun smiled, "After all, I am the demon queen who has brought disaster to the country, and I don't know each other well with the new emperor, so what's so difficult about making a few slanderous remarks."

Chen Zhiyun's face turned red again, this time Song Yun knew that he was panicking with embarrassment.

"There are a lot of empress dowagers, offended in the past, if Chen Zhiyun has a bright future, he will solemnly apologize to the empress!"

Chen Zhiyun stepped back and bowed, and Song Yun supported him by the elbow, "There are so many people, there is no need to be polite. Let's go, go back to the palace and change clothes, the banquet is about to start. The banquet is over, go to my place to get the set of four treasures of the study, It's not everyone's treasure, I made it myself, and I have the right to wish you a high school gift in advance."

Chen Zhiyun nodded with a blushing face, and followed behind Song Yun.

When he was about to arrive at the Changtai Palace where he lived, Chen Zhiyun suddenly remembered and asked, "How did your empress recognize me as a man?"

Song Yun just smiled and said nothing.

I've been a woman much longer than you. I didn't think about it before. I don't understand your eunuch's attire. It's really wasted years of disguise.

·

At the Qingming Festival banquet, Song Yun was honored in the middle of the superior position, the new emperor Qi Chou was on the left, and the empress Su Mingzhu was on the right.

Because it was to pray for the late emperor, the banquet did not prepare cheerful and colorful singing and dancing, only a group of musicians played Sanskrit.

Song Yun ate the bland vegetarian food, and Su Mingzhu comforted her: "Your Majesty, don't mourn too much, the late emperor has a spirit in heaven and he doesn't want your Majesty to mourn and seriously hurt her body."

Song Yun nodded, she wasn't very sad at first, but after hearing what the queen said, she remembered that she was about to act, she squeezed the corners of her eyes, and stopped eating.

Qi Chou didn't move his chopsticks much.Since he took the throne, his life has not been easy. Today's ranking of the top three is not according to his wishes, it is all after the cabinet reviews the papers and decides on the candidate, and then he announces it, it's just a formality.

From honoring relatives to imperial examinations, there is nothing up to him. How can there be such a useless emperor!

Qi Chou drank heavily, and when he was about to get drunk, he finally remembered the business.After praising the empress dowager for her kindness, she also promoted the ranks of the late emperor's harem. Chen Meiren and Li Meiren were promoted to concubines, and Su concubine was promoted to Su concubine.

After the death of the first emperor, the position of empress and concubine has completely become an empty title.Whether it is a concubine or a concubine, to these widows, it makes no difference.

Chen Zhiyun was also pouring his own drink, raising his head to look at Song Yun from time to time, and soon lowered his head even lower;

Li Taipin, who is fifteen years old, doesn't seem to like vegetarian dishes very much, and she has a rare appetite. She is so drowsy by the Sanskrit voice that she keeps nodding her head;

Concubine Su's complexion was not good at all, and the night wind blew even more blood. She said she was unwell and left the table after sitting for a while.

After the Sanskrit sound was played, Song Yun led the crowd to release sky lanterns to pray for blessings.

Everyone wrote congratulatory messages on their sky lanterns. Song Yun saw Chen Zhiyun's lanterns in the corner with beautiful characters, which said "I have learned and learned from the Ksitigarbha Sutra, and I wish to understand the true meaning of the Tathagata".

Song Yun wrote "There is no obstacle in the heart, so there is no fear". 【1】

The sky lanterns flew up, and the banquet ended.

Song Yun said to Qi Chou: "The emperor is drunk, and the Compassionate Ning Palace has hangover soup, let's go and use some with the empress."

Qi Chou blushed from drunkenness, his eyes were clouded, he stretched out his hand to Song Yun, "Ah Yun—"

Song Yun frowned and dodged, the queen interrupted in time, "Thank you for your kindness. It's a long way back to the Palace of Compassion and Peace. I and Your Majesty will walk with your Majesty, and your Majesty will wake up much more after blowing the wind. It will be more effective to drink sober soup."

Song Yun couldn't see through the queen more and more.

Although Song Yun and Qi Chou are mother and son in name, they are close in age after all.Chen Zhiyun knew that Qi Chou was interested in him, so the delicate Queen Su would not notice it?

Song Yun asked the queen to go with her just to avoid suspicion, and then suggested Enke to the husband and wife.He was worried that Su Mingzhu would disagree, but he didn't expect her to be so considerate.

Song Yun felt that she was a bit too villainous.Perhaps, the palace is not full of intrigues.Even though he couldn't see why, the queen was indeed not hostile to him, and took care of him everywhere.

On the way back to the Palace of Compassion and Peace, we passed the Imperial Garden.

Stepping on the stone bridge, the half-drunk Qi Chou looked up at the moon, "The sun! What a strong sun!"

The queen supported him, "Your Majesty, that's the moon."

"The moon? Did I see it wrong?" Qi Chou muttered, "Did I admit it? I'm really useless...I can't do anything, I'm so useless...Ah Yun, I should go to the Song family to propose marriage that day...Ah Yun... ..."

Song Yun knew that Qi Chou was useless, but he didn't expect that after a few glasses of wine, he would become so confused, and Su Mingzhu felt aggrieved to marry him.If you say such bold words, it will be too late to regret when you wake up.

Fortunately, the attendants did not follow closely, and the queen did not look angry.

Walking all the way back to the Palace of Compassion and Peace, Qi Chou was still drunk, Song Yun asked someone to serve him hangover soup, and Empress Su asked the emperor to be sent back to the bedroom to rest.

Song Yun didn't stop him either, he was so drunk, what else could he talk about.

In the quiet of the night, Song Yun and the queen said a few polite words that were neither salty nor light, with the meaning of seeing off the guests. Su Mingzhu retreated from the crowd and said to Song Yun: "Your Majesty, if you want to talk to your majesty, you might as well tell me." .If I can do it, I will try my best to do it for my empress.”

Song Yun was slightly startled, he knew that Su Mingzhu was smart, but he didn't expect her to see it so clearly.

Seeing Song Yun's hesitation, Su Mingzhu smiled and said, "Don't worry. Your Majesty doesn't remember me. I was there the day your Majesty and Your Majesty met."
