Chapter 165 Gossip
A few days passed in a flash, and the birthday that I thought was far away before was already close at hand.
The dresses for that day had already been rushed to make, and Song Qing'an had to pick up the faults and change them several times.
It was something to be happy about, but Song Qing'an seemed a little bit lacking in interest.
After that night, she never saw Pei Qing again.
Even the person who came to the palace every morning became Liu Quan. Liu Quan obviously couldn't be as strict as Pei Qing, so Song Qingan's pain was greatly reduced.
But she wasn't a little happy about it.
The secret edict was shelved by her since she got it back, and she never opened it again.
Even now, Song Qing'an is still wondering if doing this... is too much for Pei Qing.
After all, in the end, he was just... hiding from her.
But this kind of concealment made her doubt from time to time whether the relationship between them was true or false.
As for the elder brother... he was finally willing to say something to himself.
That letter is still useful, she can be regarded as knowing what Liu Ziming and King Xuan are planning.
"Cui Zhu," Song Qing'an leaned on the beauty's couch, calling for Cui Zhu to pinch her legs, "You used to... always follow that master?"
Cuizhu's strength in her hand was appropriate, and she replied softly: "Return to the princess, the servant girl was with Shang Gong before."
Shang Gong is already the highest ranking and oldest female official in the harem.
"...If so, you should be the next Shang Palace." Song Qing'an propped his head and closed his eyes to rest his mind, and said lazily, "Why did you come to my palace? Are you willing?"
"Princess, it's the same for a maidservant to be a palace servant or a princess."
Cuizhu replied obediently, her words were gentle, without any injustice.
"Do you really think so?" Song Qing'an raised his eyelids, his eyes flicked across Cui Zhu's face, "If you hadn't been called to my side, maybe there would be the youngest Shang Palace in the inner court of Liang."
"Princess, this servant girl is sincere and dare not lie."
Cuizhu said softly, her hands kept moving.Song Qing'an narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, then asked, "Did you ask to come here to pray for blessings on the Lantern Festival?"
The strength on the legs lightened for a moment.
Song Qingan's eyes changed accordingly.
"……Yes."
Cuizhu's voice was still clear and calm: "It's just that the servant girl didn't expect that Master Zhangyin would keep the princess by her side after that."
Song Qingan curled the corners of his lips, noncommittal.
Whether it is true or not, only she knows in her heart.
I just don't know... when Cui Zhu worked for Pei Qing.
Was it when she was still with Shang Gong, or after she went to Shangyuan to pray for blessings.
"Last time I heard from Zhuyan that you asked Liu Quan to deliver letters to family members outside the palace."
Song Qing'an moved her body and changed her leg for her to pinch.
"Is there any reply?"
Cuizhu blinked, and said in a low voice, "Princess, the maidservant's family is illiterate, so there is no reply. The maidservant just... so that they don't worry about it."
Song Qing'an felt strange: "If you can't read, what's the use of sending your letter?"
"Princess, what the maidservant wrote is nothing, even if they don't understand it, it doesn't matter." Cuizhu smiled slightly, "It's just that they can have a clue in their hearts when they look at the handwriting of the maidservant."
"What's more... the princess doesn't know something. If it happens, my father can ask the gentleman in the village to read the letter. Occasionally, the servant girl will also receive the letter written by the gentleman."
Speaking of this, Cuizhu's eyes also smiled, and her hand movements stopped involuntarily, as if she was lost in memory.
Song Qing watched quietly without disturbing her.
If so, she really envies Cuizhu.
"Princess, the servant girl talks too much."
Cui Zhu came back to her senses quickly, apologized in a low voice, folded her hands on her knees.
"It's nothing, I'm glad you're willing to talk about this with me."
Song Qing'an smiled gently, got up and went to bed.
"In the future, if you have anything you want to pass to the outside of the palace, I can also help you."
Cui Zhu froze, then looked up in disbelief.
"Why, don't you believe it?"
"The servant girl dare not... but the princess, the maidservant's status is low, so I dare not accept the princess' love."
Song Qing'an stood beside her, and Cuizhu could only catch a glimpse of the golden thread pattern on the hem of her skirt from the corner of her eyes.
"No, I just want to repay the love of your real master, you just take it at ease."
Cuizhu was taken aback when she heard the words, then Weiwei: "Yes."

He Xiu didn't have any important official duties to do when he entered Hanlin these days, and he was just an eighth-rank classic, so his ordinary life should be very idle.
But he didn't know where the energy came from, and when he saw nothing to do, he found something to do on his own.Most of the people in the Imperial Academy are literati, and they are a bit proud. He Xiu, who was recommended to come here, is not pleasing to the eye. After this, He Xiu has no one to associate with in the Imperial Academy.
Fortunately, he didn't care about these things, and he just buried them in the scriptures all day long, as if he didn't care about world affairs.Seeing that there was no response to how much cynicism and sarcasm, several people gave up one by one.
But He Xiu is not doing things aimlessly.
The most convenient thing in the Hanlin Academy is that you can easily access all kinds of ancient books, even... some daily life records that record unknown deeds.
What He Xiu focused on were almost all historical documents.
He didn't believe that those things would be erased so easily.
Everything that is man-made must have clues to follow.
He Xiu rubbed his dry eyes and continued to draw circles.
……
"Why is Your Highness here?"
Most of the people from the Hanlin Academy had already returned home, leaving only the guards on duty waiting outside the gate.Seeing Song Qinghuai coming, the guard was startled, and then gave a standard salute.
"Can't I come alone?"
Song Qinghuai smiled and raised his hand to signal the guards to stand up, then turned his eyes to the dimly lit pane: "Is there any adult here at this time?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, it's He Dianji, the newcomer." The guard was a little apprehensive, so he replied in detail, "Since he took office, He Dianji has been returning late every day and night. Sometimes... he even spends the night inside, it's hard work Very much."
"But it's too busy?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, there is no such matter. The other adults have also persuaded him not to work so hard, but He Dianji..." The guard hesitated for a moment, and pointed to his head, "Here is a bit stubborn, but he just doesn't listen. I don't know... ...what the hell is he doing?"
"Okay." Song Qinghuai nodded thoughtfully, looked at the guards with modest eyes, "It sounds like He Dianji is a loyal man. Go and see him alone, don't tell anyone about coming here alone rise."
"Yes!"
The guards responded solemnly and let Song Qinghuai pass by.
"Is Mr. He still not leaving?"
He Xiu watched intently and never heard the slight sound of the door opening and closing.Suddenly someone else's voice sounded in the quiet house, which startled him so much that the pen in his hand trembled and almost dripped ink.
He raised his head to reprimand, but found that the person who came was extremely familiar.
"Zi Kuang?"
He Xiu insisted on writing, wanted to get up to greet him, and wanted to write a few more words.It was quite funny to be in chaos for a while.
"Mr. He is busy first, I am not in a hurry."
Song Qinghuai caressed him gently, and sat down opposite He Xiu very naturally.
The latter did not suspect him, and continued to read the unfinished scroll upon hearing this.
"Lao Zikuang wait a moment, I'll be fine soon."
