Song Shiyun hummed, "I ate a lot on the way, so you don't have to worry about me."

"OK then."

Seeing that Song Shiyun had said so, Qiu Bai didn't force it.

"The lady has been out for so long, are you injured? Is there any discomfort on your body? Do you want to ask the doctor to come over and take a look?" Chunxiao stared at Song Shiyun with concern.

Song Shiyun smiled helplessly, "Do you think I look injured?"

Qiu Bai and others looked at Song Shiyun's face.

Song Shiyun, who came back from outside this time, looked really good, with a rosy complexion. He seemed to be a little fatter than before going out.

It's not like he was sick when he came back last time.

Seeing this, Qiu Bai, Chun Xiao and others felt relieved.

"The lady is not injured, so we can rest assured."

"However, did Miss go out smoothly this time?" Shuangzhong asked with concern: "Miss, did you encounter any trouble after being out for so long?"

After Song Shiyun took a few sips of Xiaodiaoli Soup, he shook his head slightly and said, "There's no trouble. It's just that the journey is long and it takes a little extra time."

"correct……"

She looked up at Qiu Bai, Shuang Zhong and others.

"Did something happen at home? Where are your father and mother?"

As usual, if she has been back for so long, the Yang family will definitely send someone over to ask her to come and take care of her.

However, after she came back today, there was no response from Yang's side.

It didn't look like Yang's normal reaction.

When Qiu Bai heard this, he said, "I forgot to tell the lady that nothing happened at home, but something happened to the Yuan Da Ru family."

Song Shiyun frowned slightly, "Yuan Daru?"

Qiu Bai explained: "Yes, he is Miss Yuan's grandfather. Third Miss once studied at Yuan Da's Confucian School."

Song Shiyun thought about it, "What will happen to Yuan Da's Confucian family?"

Qiu Bai said: "We don't know exactly what happened. We just heard that Yuan Daru was ill. In order to take care of the illness, Miss Yuan also fell ill. Third Miss was worried and went to visit today."

Song Shirou had studied in the Confucian school of Yuan Daru, and Yuan Daru was a well-known scholar of the Qing Dynasty.

Out of etiquette, Yang asked people to prepare generous gifts and took Song Shirou with him to visit.

I just happened to go out early this morning and haven't come back yet.

It's still daytime, Song Qingyuan is still in the Yamen, and naturally he hasn't come back.

No one from the main courtyard came here.

Song Shiyun reacted without thinking too much, "Then you go and tell the concierge. When mother comes back, let me know and I will go and pay my respects to mother."

Qiu Bai said yes and walked out.

Song Shiyun finished drinking the Xiaodiaoli soup, put the tea bowl on the table, wiped the corners of his lips and said: "I want to rest for a while, Shuang Zhong and Chunxiao, go and prepare some hot water, and then you don't have to stay here to guard it. , just go and do your business when you have to."

Shuangzhong and Chunxiao knew Song Shiyun's temperament, so they left together without thinking too much.

Not long after, after preparing the hot water, the two of them went out in tacit agreement and did not come in to disturb them again.

Song Shiyun stretched out, took a comfortable hot bath, and then lay down on the bed to rest.

As for the marriage granted by the palace...

In fact, Song Shiyun didn't have any expectations.

She felt relaxed and fell asleep.

the other side.

Xie Rugu had already entered the palace and met Emperor Qingyuan.

When Emperor Qingyuan saw him coming back, he half-smiled but said, "Didn't you say you were sick? Why did you enter the palace today?"

Xie Ru smiled as before, "I forgot to tell His Majesty."

Emperor Qingyuan glanced at him and said, "Is your illness cured now?"

Xie Rugu cupped his hands and said, "Yes, everything is fine. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

Emperor Qingyuan used the book in his hand to point to the chair next to him, "Sit down and talk."

Xie Rugu responded with a yes and sat down where Emperor Qingyuan's head was. "You say you are sick -" Emperor Qingyuan looked at Xie Rugu, "But I look at you, how come you look like you just came back from a far journey? This world of travel and dust is not the result of recuperating from illness, right?"

Xie Ru smiled unnaturally.

Emperor Qingyuan put down the book in his hand and said, "Did you go to another place? Yuncheng?"

Xie Ru was surprised and said: "Your Majesty, do you even know this?"

Emperor Qingyuan snorted, "You leave the city gate with your front foot, and the guard at the city gate with your back foot will deliver the news to the palace."

Emperor Qingyuan said: "I am the king of a country after all. What happens in the capital cannot be hidden from my eyes and ears."

Xie Ru scratched his head and felt embarrassed, "This... I didn't expect it, and I didn't hide it from His Majesty."

Emperor Qingyuan snorted coldly: "Is it for the daughter of Marquis Pingning?"

Xie Rugu said sincerely: "Yes, she has just joined the Tiansi Bureau and will be traveling far away. I am not worried, so I want to follow her and have a look. I am afraid that His Majesty will not agree, so I can only go secretly."

Emperor Qingyuan narrowed his eyes, "You still know that I won't agree?"

Xie Ru smiled and said nothing.

Emperor Qingyuan frowned, "Then Song Shiyun is so good that you are so concerned and worried about him? As usual, you should know that logically speaking, you can't leave the capital casually."

Duke Dingguo held a large number of troops, and Xie Rugu's biological mother was also the eldest princess of Hengyang, the elder of the royal family.

They have a special status. According to the rules, Xie Rugu cannot leave the capital without any purpose, just like a proton.

"The last time you suddenly left the capital, was it just for her?" Emperor Qingyuan said in a deep voice, "As usual, you are not such a child who doesn't understand the rules."

Xie Rugu stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Everything is my fault, please punish me."

Emperor Qingyuan frowned slightly when he heard this, "If I really wanted to punish you, you wouldn't be standing here properly now. Okay, sit down."

However, Xie Rugu still stood there with a playful smile again, "I have one thing. I want to ask your Majesty to give an order. Sit down now. I am afraid that I will stand up later, so I will not sit down."

After listening to his words, Emperor Qingyuan raised his eyes and looked at him, "A decree? You kid, don't you want me to decree a marriage?"

Xie Rugu smiled and bowed his hands, "Your Majesty is really amazing, have you guessed all this?"

However, Emperor Qingyuan had a serious face and said displeasedly: "As usual, you should have guessed that I will not agree."

Xie Ru paused for a moment and asked in confusion: "Why doesn't Your Majesty agree?"

Emperor Qingyuan glanced at him and said, "You and Song Shiyun's status does not match. You are the eldest son of Duke Dingguo and the daughter of the eldest princess of Hengyang. How can she, a daughter of a marquis who was raised in the countryside, be worthy of you? Besides, Yes, you are dizzy because of her now. If you marry her, I'm afraid you will only be immersed in the gentle land for the rest of your life. How can a real man be immersed in the love of his children every day?"

Hearing this, Xie Rugu pursed his lips slightly, "Your Majesty -" He looked up at Emperor Qingyuan, "Is it really because of these reasons that Your Majesty is unwilling to grant a marriage?"

Emperor Qingyuan's face turned even darker, "Xie Rugu, are you questioning me? Or are these reasons not enough?"

Xie Rugu bowed and said: "I don't mean that, but I still know why Your Majesty is unwilling to grant the marriage."

Emperor Qingyuan narrowed his eyes dangerously, "What do you know?"

Xie Rugu said bluntly: "Your Majesty is unwilling to grant marriage because Song Shiyun and Shi Yu are similar, right?"

Emperor Qingyuan's face suddenly sank.

The inner prisoners all around suddenly lowered their heads, looking like they were looking at their noses and minds, but they didn't have ears and couldn't hear anything.

The Qianzheng Hall was suddenly filled with an invisible smell of gunpowder smoke.

A smart person would choose to shut up at this time.

However, Xie Rugu still had the courage to continue: "And I chose her because she has similarities with Shi Yu."

Emperor Qingyuan narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean by that?"

Xie Rugu smiled and said, "Your Majesty should know that I like Shiyu."

Emperor Qingyuan's eyebrows relaxed, "Xie Rugu, you should know the identities of you and Shi Yu."

Xie Ru said: "Yes, I know, so even when Shiyu died, I never crossed the threshold. Now that she is dead, no matter how much I want to find her, I can't find her. I can only look for her in others." Even if there is only one or two shadows of her, that’s okay.”

Emperor Qingyuan paused and said, "You mean, Song Shiyun and Shi Yu are similar?"

Xie Rugu shook his head: "No, she and Shi Yu are very different in temperament, and they don't even look alike."

Emperor Qingyuan raised his eyebrows, "Then you still want to choose her?"

Xie Rugu twitched the corners of her lips, "However, she is a rare gifted person among women. She occasionally uses mystical arts, which is a little bit similar to Shi Yu."

"However, even if there is only one or two similarities, it is her luck, and it is also my luck." (End of Chapter)
