Lonely non-good minister

Chapter 418: Enough virtuous drama

Emperor Hongming didn't like this argument very much, but he couldn't find anything to refute. His face was full of displeasure but he had nothing to say.

Guessing that he was so angry with himself that he would not be able to sleep well tonight, Song Chun didn't want to provoke him any more, so he said a few more words and then withdrew.

Who would have thought that the great witch Zhiyan hadn't left yet, and when he saw him coming out, he teased: "The prince is the most filial, how could he not know what the emperor likes to hear? He always goes against the emperor, but it will chill the emperor's heart."

"It's enough for the emperor to have the Imperial Master in front of him." Song Chun walked straight in front of him.

But the great witch Zhiyan followed him directly, regardless of whether Song Chun was willing to listen to him or not, he said to himself: "I heard that the eldest son, who was highly valued by the late emperor, was busy assisting the late emperor in his early years and had no interest in having children. As a result, the children were young, so that the late emperor After the eldest son died of illness, several children also died in infancy, and that line was cut off. The prince's heirs were also very few, so the emperor's worries are not unreasonable."

Song Chun glanced at him coldly without saying anything.

The great witch Zhiyan continued: "But the emperor is really partial. The Crown Prince's children are not much different in age from His Highness Ninth Prince. He is worried that the emperor's grandson has uncles who are in their prime and the younger ones will soon grow up to be brothers, but he doesn't care at all. His Highness the Ninth Prince is in a worse situation than the Imperial Grandson, but it’s such a coincidence that these two have to rely on the Crown Prince for support.”

He repeatedly mentioned Song Yuan, and Song Chun was very displeased. Finally, he stopped and looked at him coldly: "The Imperial Master has successfully made the emperor suspicious of the fifth brother, and now he wants to target Yuan'er again?"

"How can I give it up?" The great witch Zhiyan said with a smile, "His Ninth Highness is an extremely interesting person."

The tone of his words made Song Chun feel sick, and he clenched his fists under his sleeves. Thanks to his upbringing and identity, he resisted the urge to punch him in the face.

Song Chun left unhappily, and the great witch Zhiyan didn't follow closely. He waited for Song Chun just to confirm one thing, whether he really couldn't hear Song Chun's voice. This test could confirm that in When Song Chun was completely unprepared, he could still hear it.

Emperor Hongming rested for a few days before his health got better. He was used to hosting banquets and entertaining people in the palace, but he couldn't hold back the past few days when he returned to the palace. He simply ordered him to go down and hold a banquet in the palace. Song Chun was also asked to attend. He didn't really want to attend such an occasion, but he had to go.

As soon as he sat down, Mrs. Lin came with Mu Liangdi. Mrs. Lin stepped forward generously and said, "My daughter-in-law learned that today is a family dinner, so she brought Liangdi with her."

"That's how it should be. It's boring to stay bored in the East Palace on weekdays." Empress Shen's face was filled with kindness: "It's time to go out and walk more often."

Mu Liangdi also smiled and followed Mrs. Lin obediently to Song Chun. Just as she was about to sit down, Mrs. Lin gently pulled her to her seat: "The Crown Prince is busy with government affairs on weekdays. , it’s rare for you to meet me. Today’s family dinner, don’t be constrained by etiquette, just talk to the prince more.”

Mu Liangdi felt excited and shy, and glanced at Lin gratefully before sitting down next to Song Chun. Song Chun was completely indifferent to this. He knew that Lin was putting on a show, but he didn't want to embarrass her at this time.

"The Crown Princess is really virtuous." A young concubine hurriedly flattered her: "The wives and concubines are harmonious, and they really behave like a queen."

Although it is a bit far-fetched to praise two people in one sentence, Queen Shen smiled and said nothing, but Mrs. Lin's face was filled with appreciation.

Concubine Li rolled her eyes: "You are getting older after all. It would be inappropriate if you still act like you did in the early years." These young concubines did not know what Lin did when she was in the palace, and whether their elders could still do it. Know?Just don’t say it.

"What the Imperial Concubine said is that when I was young, I did not distinguish between good and bad, and I studied randomly, so I had a wrong nature of mind. Now I understand that wives and concubines have different identities. I should follow my mother as my example. How can I accept anyone as my teacher casually?" You guys use all your tricks to be concubines, and I learned all the tricks from you.

These words immediately offended everyone in the palace, but Ms. Lin didn't care. She was the crown princess and the future queen. Now that these concubines have fallen out of favor, what kind of waves can they make?When you see her in the future, you have to be respectful. It is their blessing to respect them.

The banquet was quiet for a while, so much so that the singing and dancing sounds were a bit harsh, but Emperor Hongming who was sitting at the table didn't care. He was already used to a group of women vying for favor and bickering in front of him, so he could ignore them without any distractions, but Song Chun was too lazy to interrupt.

As the singing and dancing was getting lively, little Shen got up and went to Queen Shen. After whispering a few words, she bowed and left. When Mu Liangdi saw this, she immediately found an excuse to leave.

Although spring has come, the wind is still slightly cool. Little Shen raised her fan slightly to block the dazzling sunlight, and stopped only after walking under the mottled shade of the trees.

"Ms. Shen, stay." Mu Liangdi chased after her.

Seeing her take the initiative to say hello, Xiao Shen couldn't help but be surprised, and Chunyang was also surprised. They had nothing to do with Mu Liangdi.

"Empress Shen." Mu Liangdi came forward with a green smile on her pretty face: "I often hear the Queen praising Empress Shen for being virtuous and intelligent. Today is a rare opportunity to meet, so I took it upon myself to come out and talk to you. Do you want to disturb me? To you?"

Little Shen smiled: "No, I just heard what the Crown Princess said. It's rare for you to sit with the Crown Prince today, so you should have a good chat. Wouldn't it be a delay to come to me to chat?"

"The prince doesn't seem to want to talk to me." Mu Liangdi looked lonely: "He is older than me, and he always treats me as a child. I don't know what to say to make him happy. Today is My seatmate is seated, and he may not pay attention to me."

Little Shen thought for a while: "This is not a difficult matter. The Crown Princess has been with the Prince the longest and understands the Prince's thoughts best. She has always been enthusiastic and virtuous. If you ask her, she will definitely give you some advice. And there are What’s there to be upset about?”

Mu Liangdi bit her lip and said nothing. Even Chunyang could see her embarrassment, but Xiao Shen continued to pretend to be stupid: "I guess it's because you are thin-skinned and shy, but you are also the prince's pillow now, so you care about yourself. My husband is not something that is difficult to talk about, but there is no need to be so reserved."

"I heard that the Crown Princess has been neglected for more than ten years." Mu Liangdi lowered her voice and pretended to be stupid. "If she knew the Crown Prince's intentions, she wouldn't be like this."

Little Shen still smiled slightly: "After all, we have been husband and wife for many years, how can we not share the same feelings?"

Mu Liangdi, who asked this rhetorically, didn't know how to answer. She was about to speak again, but Xiao Shen interrupted her: "You are still young, so you should use your own advantages. Everything else is secondary."

After saying that, Xiao Shen left without giving Mu Liangdi a chance to continue talking.
