Lonely non-good minister

Song Wei joked quickly: "Sure enough, Uncle Jiu also thought this was a stupid idea. When my father mentioned it to us at that time, we thought this person was extremely stupid. My father also thought we were rude."

"The person who made the suggestion is an elder. Are you rude?" Song Chun drank tea and his tone became less serious.

Song Wei frowned, but now that he was no longer afraid of him, Song Yuan immediately asked: "How have you two been studying recently? You are no longer children, and it's time for the eldest brother to make arrangements for them."

"Let's talk about it after the New Year." Song Chun put down the tea cup: "There are many officials who report on their work at the end of the year. I intend to let them follow you to meet the officials in charge of local civil affairs, but I also thought about your newlyweds, so let them If you two follow you, you will be in trouble for your younger siblings."

Song Wei immediately defended: "Father, you really look down on people. How can we be so ignorant? Why would we bother Uncle Jiu and Auntie?"

"It's true that I don't want to disturb them, and they are all relatives. Wantang also had many adventures when he was doing business. If they are interested, they can let Wantang talk about it. It will be considered as a lot of experience."

She took the initiative to mention Mu Wantang, and Song Chun said: "Since I'm back, I should go and have a look tomorrow. Don't neglect him. It's one thing for the palace to send people to visit you in the past few months. It's not good for you to visit yourself." That’s another story.”

"Okay, I'll go tomorrow." Song Yuan agreed. Although she had made her words clear to Mu Wan Tang, she didn't want Mu Wan Tang to feel that she didn't value the marriage.

The most important thing in a girl's family is the word "heart". She can't do anything else. These two words must be considered carefully.

After a good night's rest at the mansion, Song Yuan went to the palace to eat early the next morning. Emperor Hong Ming didn't see her, so she paid greetings outside and came back, asking Wei Yan to bring the gifts he had prepared. He went directly to the house where Mu Wantang and his daughter stayed.

The house that Song Chun personally chose was not very big, but it was clean and refined, and was very suitable for Mrs. Mu to cultivate her body. Wei Yan stepped forward and knocked on the door. The young man who opened the door waited for Wei Yan to tell his identity and hurried in to report.

Song Yuan was invited to wait in the front hall. Before the hot tea was served, Mrs. Mu came. She was very happy, with a smile on her face: "Your Highness is here, and women should come to the door to greet you. "

"Madam, you are so polite. I am a junior. Why should I be greeted by my elders when I come to visit?" Song Yuan quickly stopped her from greeting her and then helped her sit down: "I just came back yesterday and went to the East Palace. It was already getting late, so I didn’t come over right away. Is Madam feeling better?"

Mrs. Mu smiled broadly: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Everything is fine."

"I have prepared some supplements. Madam, eat them first. If you think they are good, I will have them delivered." Song Yuan motioned to Wei Yan to put the things down.

Mrs. Mu became even more happy: "Your Highness, you are so polite. These are some expensive things that I really don't need."

"No matter how precious you are, it is not as important as your old body. Only when you are well, can Wantang and I rest assured." Song Yuan's attitude was very respectful: "After the wedding, you will live with us, and Wantang will be able to take good care of you. , you can also be her companion, I am busy with government affairs and cannot accompany her, and I feel really sorry."

Mrs. Mu hurriedly said: "Your Highness is busy with things, so you don't need to worry about the palace. You should take care of yourself."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Wantang came. Although she was deliberately late and her attitude was cold and not as enthusiastic as before, it was obvious that she had dressed up carefully and put a lot of thought into it.

"I haven't drunk today's medicine yet. Your Highness, sit down for a moment while I go drink the medicine." Mrs. Mu found an excuse to leave, leaving the two of them to talk alone.Song Yuanxin accepted the kindness. Seeing that Mu Wantang didn't sit down, he took the initiative to get up and pull her to sit next to him. He asked with concern: "Have you gotten used to it these few months since you came back? Is there anyone making things difficult for you? The etiquette in the palace is complicated. , wouldn’t it be boring for you to learn them one by one?”

"His Highness asked so many questions and I answered them all at once. Do you think I talk too much?" Mu Wantang asked in return.

Song Yuan shook his head: "No, please tell me more and be more detailed. I will feel relieved knowing your situation."

She spoke very seriously, and Mu Wantang was now willing to speak: "I wasn't used to it when I first came back. I'm used to wandering outside. Now I'm trapped in the house and can't go out casually. I'm really bored. I have the empress to take care of me, and there's nothing wrong with it." People come to trouble us, but even the people from the Mu family don't dare to cause trouble. Although the rules in the palace are complicated, the mama who teaches us is very good, patient and thoughtful, and it doesn't make people feel annoyed."

"You can go out for a walk as much as you like. It doesn't matter. I don't pay attention to these false etiquette. No matter how big the house is, there will be times when you get tired of shopping. No one can hold it in if you always stay at home."

Mu Wantang looked at her: "Your Highness, aren't you afraid of others gossiping?"

"Who dares to say, I'll cut off his tongue." Song Yuan turned around and picked up the tea cup. She didn't even have time to take a sip of hot tea today, and now her throat was about to smoke.

Mu Wantang was obviously happy, and his tone became much lighter: "How long does Your Highness plan to stay when you come back this time?"

"It's hard to say. The wedding is coming soon. After that, I have to meet with some local officials to discuss government affairs. According to the court's rules, I can't stay in Beijing for a long time, but if it is mixed with government affairs, I should stay longer." Song Yuan paused: "Oh, by the way. , after the wedding, I should have taken you to the northwest together, but I thought about it carefully, your mother is not in good health, and it will not be good for her to go to the northwest again, and my mother-in-law must have a caring person by her side, so I would like to ask you to stay and fulfill your filial piety on my behalf."

Mu Wantang had no objection and nodded calmly: "I have already planned this. Your Highness, don't worry."

"I've wronged you." Song Yuan looked apologetic: "But don't worry, I will try to come back as soon as possible."

Mu Wantang fell silent. Song Yuan had to go to the palace to pay his respects and could not stay here for long. Seeing that Mu Wantang had nothing else to say to him, he hurried away.

The wedding was coming soon. When entering the palace to pay respects, I had to listen to Empress Shen's instructions and be concerned. When I arrived at the Xiao Shen Palace, I sat there for half a day, waiting to leave the palace and return to the mansion. It was evening again, and the people waiting in the palace came and went and were busy cleaning. To dress up, piles of red silk were brought out, and a lot of lanterns and paper were prepared.

Song Yuan didn't care about this. She hid in the room to rest, read a book for a while and then went to sleep.

There were still two or three days before her wedding, when Emperor Hong Ming drove back from the palace. In the past two years, he was used to seeing his emperor traveling back and forth between the two places, so the people were not surprised and just stopped quietly on the street. bow down.

"Lao Jiu is getting married soon. The prince has come forward to ask for a knighthood for him. The Imperial Master thinks I should give him this reward?" Emperor Hong Ming was wrapped in thick mink fur, and his rosy face showed no trace of joy.

He didn't really want to give this reward. After all, the better Song Yuan was, the more unhappy he felt. After all, he had made it difficult to deny Song Yuan, and Song Yuan's excellence was a slap in his face.
