My old husband who can read minds

Chapter 7 Qin He said: I am really a "good person"

No one is destined to sleep peacefully in the palace tonight.

When his beloved concubine was wronged, Emperor Qianyuan naturally went to comfort her.

Exquisite jewelry and satin were flown into the Yaoguang Hall, but Song Yunjin's cry of injustice was stopped abruptly by the emperor's warning: "My mother has already judged this matter, so you will be aggrieved for the time being."

She had to endure this shame and humiliation, and she hated the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law Princess Hetai and Shen Yuan to the bone in her heart.

After hearing the noise coming from Yaoguang Palace, Empress Song of Fengyi Palace sneered under the dim candlelight.

"The heart is higher than the sky, and life is thinner than paper."

I don't know whether he was laughing at Ning Jieyu or feeling sympathy for her.

Her legitimate son, Prince Shen, basically has no hope of winning the title, and now the Song family can only place their hope on Song Yunjin and the sixth prince.

The aunt and nephew who once loved each other no longer exist, only fighting and scheming remain.

There was a turmoil in the harem, and Qin He was blocked by a young father-in-law on his way to court one day.

Qin He recognized the other party, the famous person in front of Concubine Ning in the future, and the eunuch in charge of Ning Jieyu today.

Qin He knew the purpose of the other party's visit, and he followed Eunuch Debao to Lanyue Pavilion as usual.

This place is one of the few remaining teahouses of the Song family, and it is currently run by the eldest son of the Song Dynasty.

The two entered the private room, and Qin He spoke directly without waiting for the other party to greet them.

"I wonder why my father-in-law wants to find Wei Chen?"

"I think the prince must have heard about what the royal family did a few days ago, and the empress was very sad about it."

Eunuch Debao didn't expect Qin He to be so direct, with a look of scrutiny on his smiling face.

Qin He's face was as calm as water, "The son doesn't say anything about the mother's fault. My mother loves her son very much, but she acted biasedly. I hope your mother will forgive me."

"Your Majesty is a sensible person. She didn't mean to embarrass the Crown Prince's wife that day, but she couldn't bear to see her sisters helpless. My Majesty values ​​the Crown Prince's character, so she wants to entrust Miss Song San's life to you."

Eunuch Debao kept looking at Qin He's face, and only when he saw everything was wrong did he truly explain his intention.

"The empress knows that this is an abrupt move, but right now she has no one she can trust, but you, the crown prince, are the people she trusts the most. The empress has specially sent this servant here to implore you to consider the old friendship between our two families and give her the best. Miss Song San has a clear path."

Qin He was silent for a moment and smiled helplessly.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to do what the empress wants. My mother is very critical of the Song family now, and she will never allow Miss Song to enter the house. If I force it, I'm afraid it will be counterproductive."

"But if we just want to find a good family for Miss Song San, Wei Chen can do his best."

Eunuch Debao knew that what he said was reasonable. He really couldn't force it at the moment, so he could only agree: "Oh... the prince said so, I guess there is someone selected?"

Qin He nodded and smiled, "Kang Lebo's second son, Mr. Xu Er, has just reached the imperial examination but is already a Jinshi. Hearing that he is not yet married, Wei Chen thinks that he is a good match for Miss Song San."

"Oh... In this case, this Second Young Master Xu is a rare gifted son-in-law."

Father-in-law Debao looked thoughtful, obviously moved.

"Weichen has only heard about Second Young Master Xu's talent and learning. If my father-in-law is interested, he might as well send someone to check his background. If there is anything wrong, Weichen should find another good match for Miss Song."

Qin He sneered secretly in his heart.The Xu family had a daughter who was a concubine in the palace and had only a concubine princess. She always followed the example of the Queen of Song Dynasty.

Now that the Song family has decided to bet on the sixth prince, as long as Song Yunjin gives a hint, the Xu family may not change their tune.

It happened that Xu Jie also needed a wife who was of noble birth but not powerful in her natal family, so that it would be convenient for him to accommodate his beautiful wife who was far away in Zhuozhou and had given birth to the eldest son of a concubine.

Song Yunshu is the fallen phoenix. Besides, she has good looks and can hold beauty in her arms. She kills two birds with one stone. Xu Jie must be happy to be a favor.

As for whether the Song family will agree?
Qin He sneered silently, fearing that they had no better choice.

Xu Jie's family background is similar to his own, with both talent and appearance, and a bright future. If she can get the position of his wife, how can Miss Song be so condescending as to be a concubine?
One has evil intentions and the other has other agendas. Isn't it a perfect match made in heaven?
In his previous life, Xu Jie didn't reveal his support for a foreign wife until two years after his marriage. Finally, he was sued by his father-in-law's minister of Dali Temple to the Palace of Qinzheng. For this, he lost his official position and became a laughing stock in the capital.

He was really looking forward to the dog-eating-dog scene between the Xu and Song families in the future.

Eunuch Debao didn't know what Qin He was thinking. Seeing that his attitude was as respectful as before and not perfunctory, he took the matter seriously and decided to return to the palace and return his life to Empress Jieyu.

Qin He knew the other person's thoughts very well and gently lifted the tea lid to hide the sarcasm in his eyes.

Afterwards, the two of them exchanged a few ulterior greetings and hurriedly said goodbye.

Another half month passed without incident. One day, when Shen Yuan, the second wife, the third wife and the second miss Qin were hanging in the mansion, a maid next to Jiang "accidentally" mentioned a recent incident in Beijing. Pink scandal.

"I heard that the third Miss Song accidentally sprained her foot when she was offering incense at Fulu Temple, and was hugged by the second young master of Kanglebo Mansion. Many people saw it with their own eyes. Later, there was a rumor that Xu Song The two families had intended to get married, and they were looking at each other that day. It was expected that after a few days, the good news would come out from the two families."

Shen Yuan knew that this was something Jiang asked someone to tell him. After all, the fact that she was "humiliated" in Yaoguang Palace that day was no longer a secret in the circle of ladies in the capital.

It's just that the scandal spread a bit strangely, and most of the capital knew about it. It would be difficult for the two families to end it if they didn't get married.

A certain prince secretly fanned the flames and fueled the flames, hiding his merit and fame.

Sure enough, it didn't take long before I heard that Miss Song San was engaged to Mr. Xu Er.

It is said that Kang Lebo and his wife Zhang were not satisfied with the marriage, so they accepted the marriage with their noses pinched. The betrothal gift on the engagement day was very casual, which made Miss Song San very embarrassed.

This matter became a topic of conversation and a joke, and was criticized by outsiders for a long time.

But these have nothing to do with Shen Yuan. She has new worries recently.

The princess mother-in-law started giving birth!

The current situation between her and Qin He is: they are already in the same bed but not sleeping yet.

For Shen Yuan, sleeping is not a problem.

She is not an innocent girl who is ignorant of human affairs, and she does not have much psychological burden in this regard.

The kids are the key.

Once she has a child, she has a bond here, and it's hard to say what will happen next.

But the purpose of sleeping is to have a baby. If you don't have a baby, there is no need to sleep. She is trapped in an endless loop.

But soon Shen Yuan wouldn't have to worry about this, because Qin He was leaving Beijing for business.
