After Song Qingyue washed and dressed, when she went to the living room to have breakfast, she saw a room full of people, except Princess Yunying, who had already decided that Li Zhao was "no good" and started to lie down, everyone else had arrived. Waiting for her.

"Greetings to Shi Zifei." Yan Jiuwan and Shen Xiang took the lead to stand up and greet her with a smile.

Xue Lian'er and Shan Xiujuan were also very active, they stood up and said, "My concubine pays her respects to the concubine."

Shan Xiujuan took the initiative to step forward, knelt down and said, "My concubine greets the concubine, the concubine hasn't had her breakfast yet, right? I will serve you!"

Xue Lian'er was even more unwilling to be the queen, and also stepped forward and knelt down, saying: "I also want to serve the concubine Shizi. Concubine Shizi, if you have anything to do, just ask my concubine to do it, and I will do my best to do it well!"

Seeing Xue Lian'er and Shan Xiujuan being so active, Wei Lu and Zhou Yueying couldn't hold back their faces. They couldn't do such a flattering thing, but they hoped that the imperial concubine would give them some chances.

Several people heard that Song Qingyue took Yan Shi and Shen Shi to have dinner with the crown prince last night, and they felt itchy.

Wei Lu and Zhou Yueying felt disdainful at first, it was just a meal, not a bedtime, what's there to get excited about?But the mothers and maids around them tried their best to encourage them to be more active, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

Today we met and had dinner, tomorrow we can talk and play chess, and the day after tomorrow we can sleep together!
Song Qingyue was a little dazed, she just woke up, she stayed up most of the night last night planning their rebellion cause with the villain boss, her head was still dizzy, she ignored Xue Lian'er and Shan Xiujuan, instead she turned to ask Li Qiushui, Said: "Why are you here too? You don't want to serve me for breakfast, do you?"

Li Qiushui shook his head and said with a smile: "Your maidservant will not compete with Miss Xue and Miss Shan. The maidservant came here to ask the concubine, and the maidservant can't follow the literacy class to learn how to read and write."

Song Qingyue nodded: "This is a good thing! How could I disagree? But now they have been studying for several months, if you join the class, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep up."

She thought for a while, then turned her head and asked Mo Zhu: "Is there any student in the class who is very serious, has good grades, and you really like?"

Mo Zhu nodded: "Yes, the cotton in the laundry room and the jujube in the kitchen are very good."

"In this way, you can ask them if they would like to help Miss Li make up lessons. They can take turns going to Wangyue Pavilion at night. Tell them that you will be given [-] Wen hard money for every hour of make-up lessons."

Mo Zhu smiled: "There is no one who is unwilling."

Song Qingyue looked at Li Qiushui and said: "Although they are maids in the mansion, they are your teachers, and you will be treated with courtesy when the time comes."

Li Qiushui quickly nodded and said yes, and said with a smile: "I want the concubine to pay the money for me again, I'm really embarrassed."

Song Qingyue said: "It's a good thing to be self-motivated, I'm happy."

Seeing the concubine Shizi and this Tongfang from the northwest had a very happy conversation, someone couldn't hold back anymore, Shan walked a few steps on her knees, hugged Song Qingyue's leg, and said: "Concubine Shizi, concubine, concubine also wants to make up lessons. Concubine knows her qualifications I'm dull, and I haven't studied before, so I'm slow to learn, give me a chance, and I want to make up lessons, okay?"

Song Qingyue looked down at her, pulled her leg out of her arm, and said, "Get up first, and talk well."

Mrs. Shan couldn't get up, so she kowtowed on the ground and said: "I can't get up, I beg the concubine to be fulfilled!"

Song Qingyue hated people like her in her heart. When she was in a low position, she groveled and flattered her. She could do anything without a bottom line. But a person like her who is cruel to herself will only be crueler to others. Once she climbs up No, she won't show any sympathy to the people below her at all, and will only intensify the oppression of those who are lower than her.

Song Qingyue thought for a while and said, "How about this, I can't pay all the supplementary tuition fees, Qiushui, can you pay half of it yourself?"

Li Qiushui nodded: "It should be like this, I am willing."

So Song Qingyue looked at Mrs. Shan: "Get up, don't kneel down, who are you kneeling for? I'll just find you two maids to teach you. I'll subsidize half of the money, and you pay the half yourself. How you want to make up for it is up to you." Look at the arrangements."

When Shan Xiujuan heard that she had to pay for it herself, she was a little unhappy at once, but she said everything, but she was too embarrassed to say no, so she looked at Song Qingyue with resentment.

At the side, Xue was glad that he didn't have the time to shout along with Shan, lowered his head and stood up silently, and sat aside.

After Song Qingyue dealt with Shan's difficult concubine, she looked at the other two people in the hall: Nanny Yu and her little granddaughter.

In fact, because of Song Qingyue's actions last night, Nanny Yu wanted to hug her thigh to see if she could get a chance to ask Shi Zifei to recommend her granddaughter to His Highness Shi Zi.

"Nurse Yu, long time no see." Song Qingyue said.

Mother Yu stepped forward and said with a smile: "It's been a long time indeed. Originally, the Concubine Shi Zi was supposed to come to see her as soon as she returned to the mansion. Unfortunately, she has not been in good health for the past few days. She finally came back today when she finally recovered."

"Nurse Lao is worried. This is your granddaughter next to you, right?" Song Qingyue asked with dignity.

Momo Yu immediately burst into a smile, pushed her granddaughter, and urged: "Please pay your respects to Princess Concubine!" Then she raised her head and said, "This child is timid and has a low voice. Please, I'm afraid you didn't hear me."

Song Qingyue waved to her kindly, and asked, "Come on, come here, what's your name?"

"The little girl's name is Tian Xuefang." Because she is not a servant of Prince Su's mansion, she is not a slave, so she does not call herself a slave.

Song Qingyue said: "It looks like he has a quiet temperament, is he ready?"

Tian Xuefang nodded, looking very shy.

Song Qingyue asked again: "Where do you usually live in the mansion?"

"My little girl lives in the back room of Baoguang Hall."

"Are you used to living in the mansion?"

Tian Xuefang shyly said: "Thank you for your concern, Shizifei, everything is fine, everyone takes good care of me, and I'm used to living here."

Song Qingyue smiled and said: "Then I can rest assured. How is the inspection work in the past six months? Is there anything special that needs to be told to me?"

Just as Tian Xuefang was about to shake her head and say that everything is fine and nothing special, Song Qingyue preempted her and said, "Well, in the past half a year since you entered the mansion, we must have a lot of things to say about the hundred servants on East Road. You write Give me a report, tell me what you have done in the past six months, what situations you have encountered, which people's homes you have visited, what is the situation in their homes, and is there anyone who needs help from the palace. You must have recorded everything, right? I’ll give you three days to sort it out and hand it over to me in three days. You can write, right? I heard that you write poems and draw pictures in your room in your free time.”

After Song Qingyue finished speaking, she looked at her with a smile.

However, Tian Xuefang was so panicked that her back was sweating, and her hands trembled slightly.

In the past six months, she had done almost nothing, just wandered around the mansion all day, looking for people to chat with, and waiting for His Royal Highness to come back, waiting for an opportunity to serve His Highness.

"Retire if you have nothing to do, and remember to hand in the report in three days." Song Qingyue still smiled amiably.

Nanny Yu's face turned pale, and she stood aside and wanted to say something.

Song Qingyue didn't want to pay attention to this old guy any more, she stood up, she had consumed too much last night, her stomach hurt from hunger, she had to go to have breakfast quickly.

Mrs. Shan still wanted to serve her, but she was stopped by Nanny Bai, who said politely: "Everyone, please go back, and go back to rest. Miss Yan and Miss Shen stay here for a while, Shi Zifei will probably have something to tell you to do. "

Today's breakfast is porridge made with sweet soy milk, glutinous rice, yam, and lily. It is amazing to eat with half a deep-fried dough stick filled with eggs.

When Song Qingyue was having breakfast, she saw that Nanny Bai was in a particularly good mood, and said with a smile, "I forgot to tell Mammy these days when I came back. Nanny has worked hard for the past six months."

After hearing this, Bai Momo was deeply moved, and said with a smile, "Oh, what's the matter, it should be."

Song Qingyue took a bite of the egg-filled fritters that were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and said, "Nurse Yu is not easy to deal with."

Bai Momo raised her chin and said arrogantly: "If there is anything difficult to deal with, that old guy will be just like that. But her granddaughter, who only wants to climb into our uncle's bed, is really outrageous. A slave is not a slave, and a guest is not. Guest, a concubine is not a concubine, how could she have the nerve to stay in the palace!"

Seeing that Tian Xuefang, Bai Momo was furious.

Song Qingyue comforted her: "Don't be angry, Mammy, I'll drive her out when she submits the report another day. Just watch."

After breakfast, I asked Yan Jiuwan and Shen Xiang to come over and read the audit report they wrote.

These two are really talented people, and the first report was organized and meaningful. Of course, Song Qingyue is not an expert in this field, and she is also trying to follow her own way of thinking. Do it one step at a time.

After giving some simple pointers, he threw them a new ledger and asked them to continue.

In the afternoon, Song Qingyue took Mother Bai, Mo Zhu, and Mo Mei out for a visit to the hot spring villa in the suburbs of Beijing to see what to do in the chess competition.

After thinking about it, she felt that this was a good opportunity to help King Su's mansion gain prestige.

This year is the last year of Taiping. When spring starts next year, the old emperor will probably die.

At this moment, he was still afraid that the censor would say nonsense, so it was time to give it a go.

After returning home at night, she told Li Zhao what she thought, and Li Zhao nodded and said, "Okay, I will do it according to your idea."

Song Qingyue hugged his waist and sighed: "There are so many things to do. After Qixi Festival, the third son is going to get married, and the fourth son is going to get married in August. By the way," she suddenly thought of Ning Yueyao, and raised her face Asked: "Is the time for the second girl Ning to enter the mansion fixed?"

Li Zhao's hand stroking her back froze, then nodded and said, "This month is the sixteenth."

Song Qingyue said in surprise: "That's only a few days away! Is there time to prepare?"

Li Zhaodao: "Eunuch Wang, you can rest assured."

Song Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, there is Eunuch Wang, otherwise I would be too busy. Should I give Eunuch Wang a gift?"

"Send it away if you want." Li Zhao said.

"Let's prepare one. By the way, what does he like? Does he have any special hobbies?"

"Eunuch Wang...he likes money."

Song Qingyue laughed out loud, and said: "This is easy to handle. This concubine has nothing else but more money."

Li Zhao pinched her face: "Look at you."

Seeing her calmly preparing for Ning Yueyao's entry into the mansion, an unspeakable sourness and hesitation suddenly rushed into Li Zhao's heart. He wanted to say something to Song Qingyue, but he didn't know what to say.

It was a very normal thing to accept the side concubine, but now he felt that something was very wrong. The love words that came out of his mouth, facing her clear eyes, were stuck in his heart and could not be said, which made him uncomfortable.

~
Early the next morning, Song Qingyue first brought some medicinal materials and sheepskin mats as planned, as well as Nanny Tong and Nanny Zhang to the Princess Mansion to visit her second sister.

Song Yuxi's face rounded, and she looked cheerful, and it seemed that she was living a very nourishing life.

The third younger sister came, and she was very happy. She pulled Song Qingyue to talk all morning, most of which were short-sighted by parents, and Song Qingyue told some precautions during pregnancy. Stayed in the princess' mansion.

Anyway, the banknotes are enough, and the two nuns are not unwilling. When they arrive at the Eldest Princess' Mansion, there will be another reward.

After leaving the princess mansion, she went back to her mother's house with gifts, and Song Qingyue was entertained by Mrs. Liang and sister-in-law Zhang Luoyi.

The three of them had a conversation, and Mrs. Liang praised Zhang Luoyi for a long time, which made her sister-in-law's face turn red. Song Qingyue looked happy. Mrs. Liang is a reasonable person, and Mrs. Zhang must be sensible and capable.

Harmony is the greatest blessing of a family. She also brought Liang and Zhang Luoyi a piece of gold and gem jewelry from the Western Regions. Although the shape is a bit exaggerated, it may not be able to match the appropriate clothes. of.

Neither Liang Shi nor Zhang Luoyi are stingy people, and they were both very happy to receive the presents.

Song Qingyue told Mrs. Liang about the situation of her eldest sister in the northwest, and said that her brother-in-law was very kind to her, but she also told the truth about Xu Shizi secretly sending away a maid.

Liang Shi nodded: "This is enough. What about Chen Rui? When is he going to come back?"

Song Qing shook his head: "I don't know. When we were in the northwest, we negotiated a military supply business. The fourth brother is busy with this matter. He is very good, mother can rest assured."

Liang Shi sighed: "This child, it seems that he is not going to participate in this year's Qiu Wei."

Song Qingyue comforted her: "Everyone has their own fortune. Fourth brother will definitely have great achievements in the future."

Liang patted her hand with a smile and said: "Okay, don't comfort me anymore, go sit with Aunt Chun, she is thinking of you."

Song Qingyue stood up, suddenly remembered something, and said: "By the way, mother, I still want to see Aunt Cao. I want to see her nephew and daughter-in-law named Tan."

Liang immediately said: "That one! She is indeed a talent. Are you planning to promote her?"

Song Qingyue waved her hand: "It's not about promotion, I just want to get to know each other. Let's see if there is any opportunity to do something together."

Mrs. Liang laughed: "You really have a lot of ideas. Be careful not to overwhelm your body. The most important thing is to give Your Highness a son as soon as possible. Your Highness is not young. The other son is at his age, and the children are running around all over the place." gone."

"I don't worry, mother, don't worry, I will definitely give birth when the time comes. The imperial doctor said, I am not the kind of uterus cold and difficult to conceive, but my body is weak, and now I am pregnant. It is easy to fall, and it is easy to drag my body down. Maybe I can't keep it. Why don't I wait for a while, when I'm older and stronger, so that I can conceive safely and give birth safely, wouldn't it be better?"

"What if there is a concubine's eldest son?" Liang Shi was still worried.

"No." Song Qingyue's face was serious, "Your Highness also promised to give me time."

"Okay, you have a plan in mind, you can figure it out, I won't talk about you. Go find Aunt Cao and your aunt."

In the west courtyard, Aunt Cao was quite surprised to hear that Song Qingyue wanted to see her alone, but this was a good thing that could not be expected. She warmly received Song Qingyue.

Song Qingyue explained the reason for her visit, and Aunt Cao laughed: "The imperial concubine is a discerning person, and the child surnamed Tan is really good! Okay! I will go to her to talk about it some other day, and say that some nobles have taken a fancy to her." !"

"Hahaha! Auntie, please don't make such jokes, and make sure you speak clearly."

"I know, I know, don't worry, this matter is on me."

After seeing Aunt Cao, Song Qingyue sat in Aunt Chun's yard for another half an hour.

Master Song changed Aunt Chun into a quite large and luxurious yard, and the cost of food and clothing should be excellent.

Moreover, Aunt Chun has gained a lot of weight, and her expression is much more peaceful than the bitter haha ​​before.

Knowing that Song Qingyue was married well, had a good life, and was in good health, she felt at ease and stopped talking about it all day long.However, she would still kneel in front of the cross and pray for a while every day, mainly for Song Qingyue, praying for her to be favored, praying for her to have a child soon, praying for her safety and health.

I just heard about the child from Mrs. Liang, and now I have to listen to Aunt Chun talking about the child again. After talking about the child, she told her how to be filial to her mother-in-law, how to be respectful and obedient to her husband, and how to be dignified and grand as a wife. Don't talk about being jealous with the concubines.

Song Qingyue listened obediently, just went in the left ear and out the right ear, and ate a bunch of melon seeds and peanuts for half an hour.

She brought Aunt Chun gems from the Western Regions, gold jewelry, a big bag of raisins, and some nice sheepskins.Before leaving, I gave my aunt another 3000 taels of silver, and the mother-in-law who served my aunt also gave 200 taels.

Aunt Chun still refused to take it, saying that Song Qingyue needed to spend money in a lot of places in the palace, and even wanted to give Song Qingyue the 300 taels of silver she had saved on weekdays.

Song Qingyue was still a little impatient to hear her rambling about those words just now, and now she was saddened by Aunt Chun's words for a long time, and she didn't say a word on the way back to the palace.

When Li Zhao saw her at night, he felt very sensitively that she was depressed, and sighed several times while eating.

He pulled her into his arms, hugged her, and asked softly: "I heard that you went back to your mother's house today. Who made you unhappy?"

Song Qingyue sighed: "I'm not unhappy, it's my aunt. When I saw her like that, I felt like a cold-blooded and heartless white-eyed wolf and bastard."

Li Zhao was amused by her again, pulled her up, and went out for a walk to digest food: "How can anyone scold me like this? Isn't your aunt doing well? Didn't Mr. Song change her to a big yard? I heard that now Song In the mansion, apart from your mother, Aunt Chun is the most happy. Mr. Song still goes to sit and have a meal with her from time to time. Isn't she all because of your favor? Besides, before you got married , I have already recorded your name in your mother's name, and your mother even allowed you to visit her, and the Song Mansion is treating her like this, which can be said to be preferential treatment beyond the rules, why are you so uncomfortable?"

Song Qingyue hummed, relaxed her body, and leaned against him.

Li Zhao kissed her forehead and asked in a low voice, "Are you happy?"

Song Qingyue nodded, hugged Li Zhao's waist, and said weakly, "Thank you husband, you are so kind."

Song Qingyue didn't actually feel very happy. In the environment she was in now, she couldn't use the values ​​of her previous life to judge good or bad.Once you do that, you will feel that everyone is unfortunate, not only unfortunate, but also unable to find a solution, it is a dead end, there is no way out.

Li Zhao also knew that she was not really happy, he didn't know what to do, he felt that there was always a layer between him and Song Qingyue, he couldn't see her clearly, and he didn't seem to be able to truly understand her.

But he wanted to walk into her heart, hoping that she could let go of all her guard and rely on and trust herself wholeheartedly.

At night, after Li Zhao carried the little beauty to bed, he put in extra effort, as if his body and heart were fused together.

Song Qingyue hugged Li Zhao's neck, her hair was thrown into a disheveled bun, and she was dripping with sweat. The feeling of loneliness, grievance and helplessness before the marriage hit her heart again. She sobbed and cried hard. Li Zhao slowed down and kissed hard She tried to comfort her, calling her name in her ear over and over again, whispering the love that could not be expressed in the daytime.

Song Qingyue cried even harder.

Countless times, when she was lonely and depressed, she wanted to sink into Li Zhao's warm embrace and indulge herself to rely on him, but she just couldn't and didn't dare.

No one in this world can really rely on.

She is only herself.

~
Two days later, it was time for Tian Xuefang to hand in her work report.

Song Qingyue and everyone on the East Road woke up early to see this joke, but she complained of illness and didn't come, not even bringing Yumao.

Song Qingyue sneered: "Sick? What's wrong? Mo Zhu, ask Imperial Physician Jiang to prescribe two good medicines for her, be sure to watch her drink them! She's so sick that she can't get up anymore, it must be serious, so ask two people to take care of her." Come on, don't tell her to move around, and don't come out to blow the air, but pay attention!"

Everyone in the hall burst into laughter.

Song Qingyue said again: "Grandma Bai, please run over and tell Madam Yu that if her granddaughter is too sick to do anything, she should be sent home as soon as possible. She is the daughter of a sixth-rank official family, and she is not married. What's the matter with the Huanghua eldest daughter who came to our palace to recuperate, and this concubine doesn't owe her anything."

Now that we've talked about it, everyone thinks that Miss Tian must pack up and leave without keeping a diary.

Unexpectedly, these two cheeks were thicker than expected.
