The queen didn't speak, but Yuling said first, "Madam, I don't know, this is a famous species in the Western Regions, called cuckoo crying blood. Look at the imprint on this jade, it's as bright red as blood. It won't come out for decades. It's a slave girl." It was specially found from the empress's storeroom yesterday. The empress cherishes it very much, but she still generously gave it to you, miss. This is a great gift."

Song Qingjin knew that she would definitely not accept this thing.It's just how to come up with a good way to refuse this gift that doesn't seem to have a good meaning.Song Qingjin thought for a long time, and said with a smile: "The empress forgives the sin. The empress is kind, and the minister should not have refused. It's just that the minister was working in the palace some time ago, and her hands and arms were too rough. I'm afraid it will be rewarded by the empress. Bracelets for courtiers would be inappropriate, so I really dare not accept them." After Song Qingmei finished speaking, she closed the box again and pushed it back.

Yuling looked at the queen, her expression changed.The queen smiled and said: "Miss Song is too careful. What is this? You are now the favorite of your parents. What else will I promise you in ten steps? As for your hand, I have heard about it before." However, you have done rough work, but it is estimated that you will be able to recover in a few days."

Song Qing was neither humble nor overbearing, and said with a smile: "Your empress is right. Otherwise, let it be like this. This jade bracelet, my servant, please ask your empress to keep it for me first, and wait until my servant's hands are worthy of these things. Come back to the Empress to get it back, what do you think?"

Seeing that Song Qingjin had already said this, the queen was blocked from what she said next, and it was difficult to use it further.He had to say: "Miss Song is also reasonable. So let's do it. I will keep this thing for you first, and I will give it to you later."

Liu Shi also felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the atmosphere between her daughter and the queen.So I immediately opened my mouth to smooth things over and said, "My empress, please forgive me. This gift is too expensive, and our mother and son really dare not accept it."

The queen smiled slightly, but did not speak.She took the box over.Mrs. Liu also pulled Song Qingmei to stand up from her seat, and said: "Your Majesty, it's getting late. The minister's wife will leave first. When I have time in the future, I will bring my young concubine to see the Empress."

The Queen nodded.Get someone to send them out.Song Qingjin took Liu's hand and walked out without saying a word.It wasn't until she got into the carriage that Liu found out that Song Qingjin's expression seemed a little off, so she asked, "Daughter, just now in the empress's palace, I felt that you seemed to be in a bad mood, what's the matter?"

Song Qingjin raised her head, smiled comfortingly, and said, "Mother, there is something. I think I still need to tell you."

Mrs. Liu immediately said: "Say it. If you have anything or something to say, tell your mother, don't keep it in your heart alone."

Song Qingjin said: "Mother, the daughter is really afraid to accept the gift that the empress gave to her daughter today. You don't know, I used to enter the palace as a slave to serve the old dowager. I don't know where I provoked the empress. Telling her not to like me, the first time we met, she had to make fun of me. I only said a few words about the funeral of the old concubine, or it was because Li Jieyu was disrespectful to the old concubine first. I don’t know. Why did the Empress not say that Li Jieyu was wrong, she just said that she wanted to beat her daughter."

Liu was surprised and said, "Why does the Empress treat you like this?"

Song Qingjin shook her head and said, "My daughter doesn't understand why the empress is targeting me everywhere, and last time Li Jieyu died of a cat, the empress also relied on her daughter. I explained many times that the cat was not me Killed me, but the empress didn't believe me, she beat me twenty times indiscriminately, and then told me to go to the library to copy books for a month. My daughter didn't understand, how did I offend the empress, let me She did this to me?"

Before he finished speaking, Mrs. Liu was already very angry.She said bitterly: "I was really blind before, and thought that the Queen is the only kind person in this world. I didn't expect to do such a thing. It's really unforgivable!"

Seeing that Mrs. Liu was really angry, Song Qingjian was afraid that he would lose his temper, so she comforted her: "Mother, don't be angry. My daughter is fine now, and she is standing here well. Let me tell you this. I don't want you to hate the empress, but I hope you can understand that many things are not what you see, if you are willing to believe me, that would be the best!"

Liu said immediately: "You are my own daughter, how could I not believe you? But, why would he do this?"

Song Qingjin smiled and replied, "That's a long story. I'd better wait until I go back and have time to tell my mother one by one. You don't have to feel bad, it's over, I'm still alive and well? Isn't it?"

Only then did Liu's expression soften a little, she patted her daughter's arm, and stopped talking.Song Qingjin leaned obediently on Liu Shi's shoulder.I don't know how long it took, and finally arrived at Lian Guogong's mansion.After getting off the carriage, Song Qingjin was startled by the scene at the gate of the mansion.

A bunch of people stood at the door, at least a hundred.Zhengwu was guarding the door, seemingly waiting for her arrival.Lian Guogong stood in the middle, smiling and crying at her.Song Qingjin smiled slightly, and looked up at the sign in front of her. On the vermilion lacquer gate, which was as high as two stories high, there were a few words written on the wide plaque: "Designate Lian Guogong's Mansion."

Song Qingjin only thought that this place looked more magnificent than Prince Jin's Mansion.The pillar at the door is estimated to need three people to hold it together.When the servants saw her, they all knelt down and said in their mouths: "I have seen you, welcome you back to your house!"

Duke Lian looked at Mrs. Liu flatteringly, as if saying, "How is it? I'm doing pretty well." Mrs. Liu also looked at Mr. Lian with a smile, as if he was also praising him.Song Qingjin has been serving others for too long, even in modern times for more than 20 years, she has never seen such a battle.She couldn't help but took a few steps back, and it took a while before she came back to her senses, stretched out her hand and said, "Everyone, get up, there is no need to be polite."

After everyone got up, all their eyes were on Song Qingjin.Some people with seniority in the mansion looked at Song Qingmei's appearance and said one by one: "Madam, you are right. Miss is very similar to you when you were young. It is almost carved out of the same mold."

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu was naturally very happy, knowing that she had found the right person.Lian Guogong also came up at this time and said: "Daughter, let's go, let's go to the mansion to have dinner and take a rest."

Song Qingjin nodded and followed her parents into the mansion.Walking through six stone steps and entering inside, there is a huge shadow wall on the ground, which is as high as the door of the main hall.There is a huge unicorn painted on it, engraved with gold and colorful, lifelike.Song Qingjin looked at the majestic unicorn, and unconsciously stopped in her tracks.Going further in, there are two huge stones standing on both sides of the road. There are four characters written on each of the two stones. On the left is Zhongjun Wanshi, and on the right is Fushou Ankang.

Only after walking over the stone can you see the scene in the mansion in a shadowy way.The pavilions and pavilions in the distance are just like those in the painting, and the mountains, rivers and trees are also lush and dense, and you can't see the edge at a glance.Song Qingjin couldn't help sighing in a low voice.But thinking about the several servants behind him, he stopped talking, for fear of being laughed at.

Mrs. Liu said: "Your brother is in Chizhou now, and there are still things to do there that His Majesty told you to do. It will take a while to come back. Mother has packed up the house for you. It is in Yanbozhou to the west of us. There are three floors A tall house is more suitable for a girl to live in. There is a lake in front of it, and the lotus in it will bloom soon. After a while, you can go boating there, learn poetry and paint, isn't it better than other places Some?"

When Song Qingjin thought of this place, she also felt that this place was wonderful.Moreover, she is not willing to live in a room crowded with everyone, and it is estimated that there will be no such days in the future.She nodded immediately and said, "Very well, it's all up to parents to arrange."

Lian Guogong said: "The meals are already placed in the front hall. His Majesty knew that our family was reunited today, and specially sent two cooks from the palace to cook for our family. I said no, but your Majesty If we had to send people over, we couldn't refuse, so we took them over."

Song Qingjin was a little surprised.Lian Guogong's family has a high prestige and status in the court, but she never thought that the emperor would be so concerned about Lian Guogong's family affairs, and even sent a cook over to cook.Mrs. Liu took her hand and walked all the way to the front hall, and the food was already placed on the table one by one.After Song Qingjin helped Duke Lian and Mrs. Liu to sit down, she sat down by herself. Song Qingjin did not know many dishes on the table, nor had she seen them before.She saw a golden crisp and white jade fish soup, both of which were only eaten in the palace.It seems that the chef in the palace also took a lot of effort to come here.

Mrs. Liu looked at Song Qingjin and turned her head to look at the servants serving in the house from time to time.It doesn't seem very comfortable.So after washing your hands, I said to them: "You go down and wait on me first, and I will call you when I need it."

The servants heard the words and went down, and they all stayed outside the house.Song Qingjin looked at Lian Guogong and his wife, they didn't seem to know what to say.This is also understandable, after all, I haven't wanted to see each other for so long, and it would be more or less embarrassing to meet again.Song Qingjin looked at them and the unnatural expression on Lian Guogong's face.Standing up by himself, he picked up a glass full of wine, raised it up and said, "Daughter is very happy to see her parents today. This glass of wine should be served first as a respect to my daughter, to my father and mother!"
