Chapter 305
Chapter 305 It’s so exciting now
When the chamberlain went out to deliver the message, he met He Songning standing outside the hall.
He Songning stopped him: "Your Majesty is still talking to Princess Xuan inside?"
The chamberlain nodded: "Yes."
He Songning watched him go away, and soon saw him bringing Concubine Dong Xian and the Seventh Prince over.
He Songning had seen Concubine Dong Xian before.
But this is the first time for the Seventh Prince...
He wore a blue robe with flowers, birds, insects and fish embroidered on it. He doesn't have the bearing of a prince, but more like a young scholar.
He walked beside Concubine Dong Xian in an orderly manner, not squinting his eyes, and he was not even interested in someone as big as He Songning standing outside.
"Mr. Xue, this is the Concubine Xian and His Highness the Seventh Prince."
He Songning heard the palace attendant's voice. He was stunned for a moment before he realized... Ah, it turned out to be a reminder to him to salute them.
He Songning's mind instantly spread with soreness and pain, and he twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled.
Then he saluted them.
"Mr. Xue?" Concubine Dong Xian asked curiously, "Is this Xue from Concubine Xuan?"
"Yes, Qingyin is my sister." He Songning nodded.
The look of intimacy on Concubine Dong Xian's face suddenly became stronger, and she asked in surprise: "Could it be that Concubine Xuan specially asked Mr. Xue to wait here?"
As soon as Concubine Dong Xian said this, she noticed that the palace attendants looked embarrassed.
wrong.
Wrong thing to say.
Concubine Dong Xian's heart sank slightly.
But He Songning smiled and avoided answering: "Yes, Concubine Xian, please go first."
Concubine Dong Xian had no choice but to hold back her thoughts and lead the seventh prince inside first.
She found that Mr. Xue had not followed...
Concubine Dong Xian felt even more strange.
Concubine Dong Xian turned the corner and saw Emperor Liang De and Xue Qingyin sitting not far away. Concubine Dong Xian's breath was suffocated, her movements became much more careful, and she had no time to think about anything else.
"Greetings to Your Majesty."
"Meet my father." The seventh prince also followed suit, and then his eyes were attracted to Xue Qingyin, and he looked at her blankly for a second time.
Concubine Dong Xian was about to ask Xue Qingyin how she was, when Xue Qingyin smiled and said, "Do you still remember me?"
The Seventh Prince whispered: "Remember."
Emperor Liang De pretended not to know anything at this moment and asked: "Huh? When did you see your sister-in-law Wang?"
The Seventh Prince did not look at Concubine Dong Xian and answered seriously: "A long time ago, my grandma brought me to see my mother-in-law. On the way, I met Sister-in-law Wang. She also brought some golden beans for my sister and me."
Emperor Liang De sighed: "That's rare. You know that your sister-in-law Wang always takes money from other people's pockets. How can it be reasonable for her to give money to others?"
Xue Qingyin said lazily: "Father, are you thinking that I haven't paid filial piety to my father?"
"Forget it, you did offer tea to me."
Concubine Dong Xian listened to this conversation as if it were homely, and slowly relaxed.
When the seventh prince was ill, the emperor also became ill, which really scared her out of her mind. Now it seems that His Majesty has no intention of pursuing the case.
Concubine Dong Xian hesitated and said: "I met the princess's brother outside..."
Is He Songning here? when?
Xue Qingyin sat up straighter and couldn't help turning her head to glance at Emperor Liang De.
Emperor Liang De looked calm.
The emperor was so ruthless... After deciding to test He Songning, he asked He Songning to see with his own eyes how the seventh prince was favored.
Hasn't he ever thought that people's hearts can't stand the test?
Xue Qingyin thought that it was a good thing for her anyway.
"Well, he must be here to visit you." Emperor Liang De said to Xue Qingyin.
Xue Qingyin nodded.
"Send the people in too." Emperor Liang De paused for a moment, "Go and bring Yihua here too, we will have a family dinner today."
Yihua is the name of the Ninth Emperor's daughter.
The palace people heard the sound and hurriedly followed the instructions.
But Concubine Dong Xian noticed something unusual again... If we were talking about a family banquet, why wasn't Prince Xuan there?
After a while, He Songning was called in first, followed by the Ninth Princess.
The Ninth Emperor's Daughter also remembered Xue Qingyin, and she said crisply when she saw her: "I remember you."
Emperor Liang De asked: "Did you also take your sister-in-law Wang's golden beans?"
The Ninth Emperor's daughter was a little afraid of her father, so she just nodded timidly.
Emperor Liang De smiled and said, "It shows that your sister-in-law Wang likes you very much."
After hearing this, the Ninth Emperor's daughter blushed slightly and smiled timidly.
"Just sit next to her." Emperor Liang De said.
Before the Ninth Princess could say anything, the palace servants had already moved the stool over.
He Songning suddenly felt a little ridiculous.
Even though Xue Qingyin was away from King Xuan, she was still more like a family with others.
Because He Songning was a foreign minister on the surface, but he was only able to sneak into this family banquet because of Xue Qingyin's influence.
Emperor Liang De naturally didn't talk to him much at the banquet. He only asked about the seventh prince's studies and how the ninth princess was doing...
The Ninth Emperor's daughter was very frightened and afraid of her father. But the seventh prince was neither humble nor overbearing.
This is not a good sign... He Songning felt even colder.
At this time, the palace servants presented dishes to the table one after another.
A rare dish was placed in front of Xue Qingyin.
Xue Qingyin raised her eyebrows and said: "From Zhuangzi? Didn't His Majesty just say no a few days ago?"
"I mean, people from the catering bureau don't have to go to school in your village. How difficult is it to get people to come in?"
Xue Qingyin was shocked: "You don't want to purify people, do you?"
What a bad thing!
Wouldn't this bring hatred upon her?
"This is his good fortune." Emperor Liang De said.
He was still a little puzzled by Xue Qingyin's shock.
He had already satisfied her, shouldn't she be happy?
Xue Qingyin was speechless and choked.
This was where their conflict lay.
Emperor Liang De treated her better and better, but his status and position were destined to "those who obey him prosper, and those who disobey him perish". And he would never feel guilty at all.
Because a minister dies for his king, and in the present era, it is a worthy death.
The Ninth Princess licked her lips at the novel dish.
Emperor Liang De smiled and said, "That's what your wife likes to eat. If you want to try it, you have to say something nice to her."
Obviously, he didn't take the words just now to heart at all.
The Ninth Princess didn't know what the adults were talking about just now. At this time, after hearing what Emperor Liang De said, she mustered up the courage to turn around and look at Xue Qingyin.
She thought that this was the first time that her father had said so much to her...
Xue Qingyin put away her helplessness and raised her hand to pinch the Ninth Princess's face: "Here, just eat. You are so cute, why do you need to beg me?"
The Ninth Princess's face turned even redder, and her voice was as thin as a mosquito: "Thank you, thank you, my wife."
With the emperor's preparation, Concubine Dong and the other two did become much closer to Xue Qingyin.
Although the Seventh Prince didn't say much at the table, he bowed to Xue Qingyin before leaving.
Stepping out of the door, the Ninth Princess asked: "Brother, why don't you talk to my wife?"
Away from the emperor, the Ninth Princess seemed to talk a lot more.
The seventh prince blushed and said, "I said she was a fairy last time."
The ninth princess whispered, "The princess's wife is so good, she won't blame you."
"Why didn't I see her husband today?"
"I know."
"What do you know?"
"Last time, the princess said that she found out that there was already a beautiful concubine in the palace after she married King Xuan. She must be unpopular."
The seventh prince muttered, "But she is already beautiful enough..."
Dong Xianfei was surprised to hear her children talking seriously about the Princess Xuan.
How could King Xuan have a concubine?
Wasn't the original concubine this Miss Xue?
It seems that the Princess Xuan was teasing them.
Dong Xianfei hesitated to speak.
She also saw today that His Majesty wanted her children to get close to Xue Qingyin. If she said it out, it might not be good.
But why?
Why not let them get close to King Xuan? But get close to the Princess Xuan?
Concubine Dong Xian had a terrifying thought in her mind, and her heart beat like a drum... No, no way? Your Majesty, could it be...
She looked at her son, and her blood began to boil.
Emperor Liang De got up and left, leaving He Songning and Xue Qingyin, the "brother and sister", to talk in private.
"Don't you want to ask me how long I've been waiting outside today?" He Songning said.
Xue Qingyin said coldly: "If I had known you were outside, I would have asked someone to beat you away."
"What a cruel heart." He Songning sighed, but then changed his tone and said coldly, "Your Majesty wants to train the Seventh Prince to be the crown prince?"
"How should I know?" Xue Qingyin tilted her head.
"That's it." He Songning lowered his eyes, hiding the coldness in his eyes, "Otherwise, there would be no banquet today. With your status, why do you need to please the Seventh Prince and others?"
Xue Qingyin remained silent.
He Songning murmured, "Do you know how painful it is for me to have to serve His Majesty while my old injury has not healed, and then I suffer from bone steaming disease and have to live alone in a corner?"
He stood up, his face not distorted by anger.
He even seemed a little calm.
He turned and walked out: "You don't know, and no one knows. Even if they know, no one will care."
"No one will care."
He didn't smash things hysterically, nor did he say a single harsh word, and he didn't even beg Xue Qingyin to treat him gently...
Xue Qingyin knew that he was really crazy.
