Mrs. Liu returned to the main hall.Lian Guogong sat at the table drinking tea.Sitting next to him, Mrs. Liu said, "Master, I have found out what Eunuch Zheng means."

Lian Guogong raised his head and asked, "What does Zheng Gonggong mean?"

Mrs. Liu sighed, sat next to Duke Lian, and said, "My lord, why do you think the fifth prince likes our concubine and wants to marry her?"

Lian Guogong was surprised and said: "What? The fifth prince took a fancy to your concubine? And said he wanted to marry her? How did the two of them know each other?" Lian Guogong asked several questions in succession.

Mrs. Liu immediately said: "Master, don't be in a hurry. But my sister is not at home now, even if we want to know, we have to wait for her to come back."

Lian Guogong said: "It can only be like this now. However, according to my opinion, we don't want our daughter to marry into the royal family. The water is too deep, and the letter sent by Zhe'er before said that the current situation in the court is not good. Steady, tell us to be more careful."

Liu Shi nodded, she agreed with Lian Guogong's opinion.After a while, she said again: "However, we still have to wait for my concubine to come back and ask her what she means. In case she also likes the fifth prince, we can't say anything, can't we?"

Lian Guogong also said: "This is natural. If the daughter likes him, after a while, we can tell the noble concubine to agree to this matter, and that's fine."

Liu said: "Yes, but I don't know when my concubine has gone to the palace this time and when she will come back. Let's discuss it with him when she comes back."

Lian Guogong sighed, and said, "Yes. But I just thought, our daughter has only been back for a few days, so we should spend more time with us. Even if we really want to get married, we can't be in such a hurry. We'd better wait. Come back, let's talk about it."

But it was said that since Song Qingjin returned to the palace, although it was only two or three days, she did not sleep well all day.The queen probably also knew that Song Qingjin would do something after returning to the palace, so she didn't do anything, everything was safe and sound.

Song Qingjin couldn't sit still anymore.On this day, she was sitting in the pavilion with Concubine Xian playing chess, but Song Qingmei kept silent because she had something on her mind, and she was half-hearted when playing chess. Finally, Concubine Xian couldn't help it, and asked: "You seem to have What's wrong, what's wrong?"

Song Qingjin simply put down the chess pieces, sighed and said, "Madam, this Su Zhaoyi has been looking at three months. The fetal image has to be stabilized. Is the queen not in a hurry? If you delay for a few more days, this great opportunity will be missed. .”

Concubine Xian smiled lightly and said: "Don't worry. What should come will always come."

Song Qingjin said again: "But Empress Xian, if this matter really fails, then we don't know how long we will have to wait."

Concubine Xian said: "Young concubine, although you are very smart, you are still too young. This matter is very important, and there must be no mistakes. Otherwise, we may be bitten by the queen."

Song Qing contemplated for a long time, and said, "My lady, otherwise, I'll go and see Su Zhaoyi and find out what she's saying. Otherwise, I don't know what she means."

Concubine Xian immediately said: "Impossible. This matter must not be done. Do you think the empress is not staring at us now? Now it is a competition of who can calm down. Whoever moves first will lose."

Song Qingjin shook her head and sighed, and said, "Concubine Xian, this empress is really a difficult character."

Concubine Xian said: "If the empress is really easy to deal with, she won't be able to stand still in the palace for so many years."

Concubine Xian rearranged the chess pieces on the white jade chessboard, and said again: "Just wait. What is most anxious now is not us, but the queen."

Song Qingjin had no choice but to listen to Concubine Xian now. If she did it herself first, if something went wrong, all the previous efforts would be in vain.Concubine Xian raised her eyes to look at her and said, "Okay, let's play chess."

Song Qingjin glanced at the door, and picked up the chess piece obediently.Concubine Xian saw it and asked: "You have to look at the door five or six times a day, what's wrong?"

Song Qingjin immediately shook her head and said, "It's nothing. Ma'am, it's nothing."

When Shan Cha and Quan An heard this, they both laughed.Concubine Xian said, "Do you miss your sweetheart?"

Concubine Song Qing became very popular, and she didn't care about the rules, she said: "Your Majesty, you are really, you can say that!"

Concubine Xian smiled and said: "There's nothing to be ashamed of. Food and sex. Food and drink men and women. You are too old. It's time to think about marriage. Tell me, which son do you have a crush on? Tell me, wait Now that I understand this matter, I will make the decision for you."

Song Qingjin immediately stood up and said, "Madam, let me see if Sister Hongxiang has cooked the medicinal food in the small kitchen. It's almost noon, and Madam should have it too." After she finished speaking, she got up and left.Concubine Xian subconsciously turned her head to look at Shan Cha and Quan An.Both of them covered their mouths and giggled.Concubine Xian asked: "Why, judging by the appearance of the two of you, do you know who Song Qing's sweetheart is?"

Shan Cha and Quan An said in unison: "I don't know, ma'am, we don't know who Miss Song's sweetheart is."

Concubine Xian raised her eyebrows.Turning his head to look at the remnants of chess on the white jade lacquer board, he began to play chess by himself, carefully placing the chess pieces on the board.

Song Qingjin quickly came to the small kitchen.Hong Xiang was not in the kitchen.She inquired again, and found out that Hongxiang had just returned to her room to pack her things.Concubine Song Qing went to Hongxiang's room again, and saw her standing in front of the dressing table, packing the things in the dowry box.Song Qingjin walked up and said to her: "Sister is very busy, she told me to find this place."

Hongxiang was taken aback, covered her chest, and said, "How soon did you come? I was taken aback."

Song Qingjin said: "At first I wanted to find my sister in the small kitchen and ask if the concubine Xian's medicinal food is ready, but I didn't expect my sister to be here."

Hongxiang looked at Song Qingjin.Since returning to the palace, she has changed into the narrow-sleeved dress she used to wear when she was a female official, and she only wears simple gold hairpins and jade bracelets on her head.She nodded approvingly, and said, "According to the palace rules, I should leave the palace in September. So I should clean up now."

Song Qingjin tilted her head and thought for a moment.Counting the days, it is indeed fast.She also stepped forward to help Hongxiang clean up together, and said, "Sister Hongxiang, have you figured out where to go out of the palace now?"

Hongxiang smiled and said: "My lady knows that I like silk and satin, and set up a silk and satin shop for me in the city. I'm going out to do business."

Song Qingjin smiled and said, "Your Majesty treats you very well."

Hongxiang said: "Indeed. I often tell people that if those of us who sit down can serve under the empress, then we are really lucky."

Hongxiang was still talking.Song Qingjin beside her was silent.She looked back, only to find that she was holding a bead flower in her hand, her fingers trembling, Hong Xiang immediately asked, "What's wrong?"

The bead flower in Song Qingjin's hand, the gold thread wrapped around the bead flower has a faint carving pattern of ten thousand characters.The flowers were made of gold and tourmaline, with a few small gemstones on them.She took a small step back, suddenly grabbed Hongxiang's wrist, and said, "Sister Hongxiang, is this bead flower yours?"

Hongxiang replied, "Yes, what's the matter?"

Song Qingjin's voice changed, and she said, "Where did you get it?"

Hongxiang looked at the bead flower in Song Qingjin's hand for a while, and said, "I haven't worn this thing for a long time. Let me think about it."

Still holding the bead flower in her hand, Song Qingjian immediately turned around and poured a cup of tea for Hongxiang, and said, "Sister Hongxiang, don't worry, think slowly."

Hongxiang thought for a moment, then suddenly patted her forehead, and said, "By the way, I have an account book. The rewards of the ladies and the things I got by myself are all recorded there. I will show you."

Hongxiang turned around and brought the account book, flipped through many pages before saying, "I found it!" Song Qingjin immediately leaned over to look.On Hongxiang's account book, it was written that the ten thousand-character pattern gemstone gold hairpin was obtained by the emperor in the second year after he ascended the throne.

Song Qingjin said, "Sister Hongxiang, in the second year after His Majesty ascended the throne, at that time, there should not be many empresses in the palace."

Hongxiang thought for a while, and said: "I remembered, it was the second year after His Majesty ascended the throne, and the Queen Mother decided to create such a pearl flower for each of the maids in the palace. I Come on, so do other female officials in the palace."

Song Qingjin asked; "Sister, do you remember how many other people have this thing?" '

Hong Xiang fiddled with her fingers and said, "I remember, there were the empress, the imperial concubine, and the dead Mrs. Xu. There was also our empress. In the second year after His Majesty ascended the throne, it seemed that there were only these empresses and no others. People. But if you want a list, Si Baosi should have a record, you can go and have a look."

Song Qingjin remembered one more thing, and said, "Then, is it possible to give this thing to others? It was the Queen Mother who gave it to you, and then gave it to others."

Hongxiang immediately said: "How is that possible? This is something that the Empress Dowager personally rewarded. Who would dare to secretly give it to others. If the Empress Dowager finds out, there will be no good fruit to eat."

Song Qingjin lowered her head and thought for a moment, then said, "Sister Hongxiang, wait a moment, I have something to show you."

Hong Xiang nodded.Song Qingjin got up and left, and walked back after a while.She took out something from her bosom and put it in front of Hongxiang.It is exactly the same thing as the bead flower in the Hongxiang box.

Hongxiang was surprised: "How did you have this bead flower? Where did you get it?"

Song Qingjin said: "Sister Hongxiang, do you still remember that some time ago, palace maids often died in the palace?"

Hong Xiang said: "Are you talking about those court ladies whose hearts have been poached?"

Song Qingjin nodded and said, "That's when I started to talk about it."
