The rebirth of the poisonous concubine

Chapter 175 Suspicion
Song Zifeng was stunned for a while, and the eunuch who led the way for Song Zifeng also chased after him.Seeing Concubine Yin, she hastily saluted and didn't dare to ask any more questions, secretly worrying in her heart, maybe General Song offended this one.

While saluting, he said to Song Zifeng, "General Song, come here with your slaves."

Song Zifeng didn't want to look at Li Xuanyin either, so he left with the little eunuch.

Li Xuanyin covered her face, the carefully painted makeup on her face was ruined, Li Xuanyin stared viciously at the back of Qin Wange who had gone away: "One day, I will make you kneel in front of me and beg for mercy! people!"

Seeing that Li Xuanyin's fair cheeks were half swollen, and the exquisite drawing was also destroyed, this appearance was really not suitable for appearing in front of people, Ah Qin said: "Your Majesty, why don't you go back to the palace to tidy up your appearance, or you will look like this in front of the emperor." Not good."

Li Xuanyin gave Ah Qin a cold look, and said, "Why do you need to tidy up? I just want to keep the slap on the face for the emperor to see, otherwise this slap will not be in vain!"

Ah Qin had nothing to say.

Qin Wange and Song Zifeng came to Linfengyuan one after the other.

Linfengyuan is an attic built on top of Taiyue Pool.

Winding up along the Jiuqu long bridge covered with red carpet, looking down from Linfeng Garden, you can see red lotus facing the wind under the setting sun, and the breeze brings the faint fragrance of lotus leaves and wine mellow.

Xu Qiushui has a unique ingenuity in his enjoyment, so he picked some unopened red lotuses, put them in a white porcelain vase, and placed them on the red sandalwood tea table.

Because it was summer, people removed all the bamboo curtains and wrapped them with veils, and the sound of silk and bamboo was also inside, making people feel like they were in a fairyland.

Although it was just a family banquet for viewing lotus, it was still extremely extravagant. Because of the sultry weather, Xu Qiushui used thumb-sized luminous pearls for lighting in the hall, and each luminous pearl was placed on a jade platform carved from white jade into the shape of a lotus flower. In the middle, there is a faint light.

Although it was only at dusk, it was the ambiguous light that added to the charm.

After Qin Wange came, she sat next to Xu Qiushui. It didn't matter whether Xu Qiushui liked her or not, but because she was ranked according to her position, that's all.

The daylight gradually dissipated, and night fell, accompanied by the dots of light in the sky, it seemed that he was not at home.

Song Zifeng is a man who has fought in the army all year round, he has never seen such a scene of extravagance.

Now Yongzhou is suffering from floods and the people are struggling to survive. The emperor is in a good mood and still sings every night. This thumb-sized luminous pearl is worth thousands of gold. The lotus lamp carved from white jade used for lighting, I don’t know how many people can be saved by replacing it with silver taels.

Because it was a family banquet, Xu Qiushui didn't expect Song Zifeng to come. Xu Qiushui was stunned for a moment, and quickly asked someone to add a chair for Song Zifeng.

Others didn't notice, but Qin Wange, who was sitting next to Xu Qiushui, noticed a trace of disgust in Song Zifeng's eyes when he saw the extravagant scene in front of him.

Situ Rui came late, and after the bright yellow figure entered Linfengyuan, everyone hurriedly got up to meet him, and Situ Rui said with a faint smile, "Get up, everyone."

After speaking, he sat on the main seat, and asked Qin Wange to sit beside him.This made Xu Qiushui's eyes flash with jealousy.

After Situ Rui sat down, he saw that Song Zifeng seemed very embarrassed sitting there, so he smiled and said: "Since Song Qing is here, don't be too restrained, just treat it as if you are at your own home."

Song Zifeng sneered: My own home?His family didn't have such a luxury as Ye Mingzhu.

Situ Rui said, as if remembering something, he said with a smile: "Song Qing is now in her thirties, and everyone talks about starting a family, but you have passed your thirties and have not yet married, and you don't even have a concubine around you. , you see which dancer in the palace you like, and it would be good to pick one and bring it to Xuzhou to serve you."

Situ Rui asked this sentence abruptly, and as soon as he said it, everyone had different expressions on their faces.

Qin Wange glanced at Situ Rui, his eyes were icy cold, he really wouldn't let anyone related to the Qin family go easily.

Song Zifeng couldn't help frowning after hearing this, but Song Zifeng just paused, then stood up and clasped his fists and said to Situ Rui: "Thank you for the emperor's kindness, it's just that I have been in the army all year round and don't understand wind, flowers, snow and moon, and the frontier is cold. If I go to Xuzhou with my minister, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear the hardships at the border."

And Xu Qiushui looked at Song Zifeng thoughtfully when he heard the words.

Xu Qiushui and Situ Rui have been husband and wife for so many years, and as soon as Xu Qiushui opened his mouth, he understood what Situ Rui was thinking.

Situ Rui is nothing more than scruples about Song Zifeng holding a heavy army, and he is worried about letting Song Zifeng stay at the border where he can't control. He is afraid that one day he will think of the old master of the Qin family and lead his troops against him, so he wants to Taking precautions before they happen, while Song Zifeng is in the capital, he wants to leave a bond for Song Zifeng.

This is probably the real purpose of Situ Rui's attempt to recall Song Zifeng back to Beijing this time.

After Xu Qiushui figured it out, she said to Situ Rui with a smile on her face: "General Song is young and promising, and he is a dragon and phoenix among people. If you just send a lowly dancer to General Song, how can you be worthy of Song Dynasty?" General? It is said that a hero deserves a beauty. General Song is a hero, so it is natural to have a beauty to match. According to the words of the concubine, since the emperor wants to be a matchmaker for General Song, it is better to choose someone with top-notch character, appearance, talent and learning from the wealth of the family. Girl, the emperor will give General Song a marriage. General Song has been stationed at the border all these years, and he has made great achievements. The emperor should give a marriage."

As soon as Xu Qiushui finished speaking, Situ Rui looked at her approvingly, "The queen is right, Song Qing's family has worked hard on the frontier for so many years,
Xu Qiushui knew that he had reached the bottom of Situ Rui's heart, and then covered his mouth and smiled and said: "The concubine knows many famous women who are waiting to be married in the boudoirs of the capital. I don't know what kind of women General Song likes. You might as well Have a good talk with Bengong, so that Bengong can choose the palm eye for General Song."

Seeing Situ Rui and Xu Qiushui singing together like this, Song Zifeng immediately understood that the purpose of the emperor asking him to come to the banquet today might not be that simple.

Since he entered Beijing, the emperor has been testing him. The emperor is very suspicious, and he has gotten used to it over the years.

He guarded the border, but he just wanted to guard the Xiling border safe and sound.Although Situ Rui is not a wise master, suspicion of him prevents him from displaying his lifelong ambitions, but staying in Xuzhou is for the sake of the people of Xuzhou, not for Situ Rui.

As long as Situ Rui is the emperor one day, then he will be loyal to the king of Xiling and will not have any disagreements.

However, I never expected that in the face of Situ Rui's annual reduction of military supplies these years, he didn't complain at all, and he still did his own thing as before, blindly forbearance, but in the end instead of dispelling Situ Rui's concerns, On the contrary, she still doubts his loyalty, and wants to place people by his side in the form of marriage, so as to control him conveniently.

Song Zifeng's heart burst into anger, wanting to contradict Situ Rui.

Qin Wange knew Song Zifeng's temper, so he glanced at Song Zifeng lightly with his eyes. Seeing the cold eyes sweeping over him, Song Zifeng calmed himself down a lot. It seemed like he had seen such eyes before...

Immediately, Song Zifeng's face was cold, but the anger in his heart was a little less, he knelt down to Situ Rui, and said: "I thank the emperor and empress for their kindness, but I already have a fiancée in my hometown, and it was arranged by my parents for me." , the orders of parents, I naturally dare not disobey."

Seeing Song Zifeng mentioning having a fiancée, Xu Qiushui asked a little puzzled: "Since General Song has a fiancée in his hometown, why didn't General Song marry her? General Song is not young now, so the girl might... ...How can the general have the heart to let that girl wait for you for so many years?" Before he finished speaking, it was Xu Qiushui who was concerned about his status as a queen, so he couldn't directly say something like "you are old and pearly".

"I was originally going to get married, but there was a flood in my hometown ten years ago, and my fiancée disappeared at that time. She has been missing for many years, and although I have tried hard to find her, I have never forgotten to look for her. She, plus my mother told me before she died that she can only be the daughter-in-law of the Song family, and my mother's last wish cannot be disobeyed, so I can only hope to get her back now."

Song Zifeng spoke clearly and emotionally, like an infatuated man.

Seeing that Song Zifeng said so, Xu Qiushui still did not give up, determined to break the casserole and ask the end, saying——

"I don't know the name of General Song's fiancée, how old is she now? General Song is so sympathetic, and this palace really admires it. General Song, please tell me about your fiancée's characteristics, as well as an identifiable token. I will ask the emperor to send someone Go and search for you, there is no king in the world, the emperor will definitely find someone easier than you, general."

"That's right, Song Qing, Song Qing is a pillar of talent. I can't bear to look at her all the time by herself. If Song Qing is looking for it alone, there will be a shortage of manpower. Why don't I send someone to look for it?"

Situ Rui thought that Song Zifeng was deliberately evading, so he continued to ask Xu Qiushui's words.

However, Song Zifeng heard Situ Rui and Xu Qiushui's words, and immediately said with joy all over his face: "If the emperor can send someone to help find A Xue, that would be the emperor's greatest favor to his minister!"

As he spoke, he took out half a piece of jade pendant and a marriage letter from his bosom, and said to Situ Rui: "When my fiancée got engaged, I was ten years old, but now I think she is in her twenties. Her name is Ling Xue. She is the daughter of Chen's father's old friend, and there is a tear mole in the corner of her eye. I don't remember her appearance very clearly. She was still young at the time, but now after so many years, it is said that women have changed eighteen years. Her appearance must be There have also been great changes. The only proof that I can recognize my relatives is the piece of jade used by the two families when they were engaged. If a woman with this half jade pendant in her hand and a tear mole under the corner of her eye is the fiancee of the minister .”
