The world's ambitions are unparalleled

Chapter 6 Birch Candle Shadow Reddish Jade Soft (3)
Zixi smiled and said: "The emperor will only listen to the queen mother, the queen mother should tell the emperor herself."

The queen mother pondered for a while, looked at Jinse again, and said, "That's fine, while the child enters the palace today, and Ai's family has a banquet at noon today, you go to pass on King Qin and King Qin's side concubine, and the emperor and King Ning will also be there." Send someone to let you know."

Hearing this, Jinse almost immediately thought of the situation where people sat around the big table, but each had their own ghosts and couldn't eat. She couldn't help trembling slightly, took a deep breath, and hurriedly left With these messy thoughts, he lowered his eyes and smiled gently: "Thank you, Queen Mother."

But she never expected that this lunch, which was already bitter enough in her imagination, would be so bitter!
"King Qin arrived—"

Near noon, Jinse, who had been bored in Shoukang Palace all morning, finally heard this unusual sound, but never expected that Su Mo would be the one who came first!

Seeing Su Mo, the queen mother who had always been indifferent laughed, and said kindly: "Ah Mo, you came early!"

Su Mo took a look at Jinse, then smiled and said: "Baba waited in the palace until noon, and rushed over when he heard that there was something delicious in the palace."

He walked up to the Empress Dowager and sat down while talking, his informal appearance attracted the Empress Dowager to raise her hand and knock him: "How old is he, and he is always so out of shape!" After finishing speaking, he still turned his head and told Zixi, "Give King Qin a taste of the emerald gold silk cake newly presented by the imperial dining room."

Zixi turned her head and brought up a stack of cakes. Su Mo picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, tasted it slowly, and said with a smile: "The things in the mother's harem are really good."

The Queen Mother tapped him again: "Yesterday, the Imperial Dining Room presented this kind of pastry. Ai Jia thought it would suit your appetite, so he specially reserved it for you. Since you like it, let the Imperial Dining Room make more."

These two people are obviously not the biological mother and child, but their relationship seems to be more harmonious than the biological mother and child.Jinse looked at it calmly, but the wild thoughts in her mind flooded again unstoppably.

The queen mother asked again: "Where is Rongyue? Why didn't you come with you?"

"Rong Yue's health is not very good recently, I'm afraid she won't be able to enter the palace to pay her respects to the queen mother for some days." Su Mo gradually suppressed his smile and said lightly.

The queen mother seemed to be slightly taken aback, and then she couldn't help sighing: "These children are so young, why can't they always be refreshed." After speaking, she suddenly glanced at Jinse.

Jinse didn't understand what it meant, and hurriedly said: "Go back to the Queen Mother, I am in good health."

Su Mo suddenly raised the corners of his lips and smiled meaningfully.

Jinse's eyes touched the smile on his face, and she suddenly remembered what the Empress Dowager said in the morning "spreading branches and leaves", and suddenly blushed, turning away with resentment in her heart.

"Mother, let's pass on the meal first. Jinse entered the palace early in the morning, so she should be hungry by now." Su Mo's lazy and laughing voice sounded again, "The emperor and the third brother went to the Ministry of Industry for inspection, and they probably won't be able to return to the palace in time It's time to eat."

Jin Sewan didn't expect that this lunch would be eaten only with these two people, and immediately thought of resigning, but when he raised his head and touched the cold eyes of the queen mother and Su Mo's unruly smile, the stubbornness in his heart was overwhelmed. Swell up.

So for this meal, it’s fine if you don’t know how to eat it, but you have to face someone who you hate so much, a person who hates you so much. Jinse feels that in the past ten years of her life, she has never eaten such a bitter meal. A meal.

The Queen Mother's appetite didn't seem to be very good, so she put down the jade chopsticks halfway through the meal, and seeing that Su Mo's appetite was just right, she said, "The Ai family is a little tired, go and rest for a while, and you can continue to use it."

As soon as the queen mother left, Jinse immediately put down her chopsticks.

Su Mo raised his eyes and glanced at her: "Not to your liking?"

"The food is really good." Jinse looked at him and smiled faintly, "It's a pity that I have lost my appetite."

Hearing this, Su Mo didn't think it was disobedient, but turned to the maid next to him: "Have you ever prepared iced sour plum soup? Bring a bowl to Princess Ning."

The maid at the side responded, and after a while, she really presented Jinse with a bowl of exquisite and attractive sour plum soup.

Jinse was not too polite, took a sip, and it was really cold and refreshing, and she felt a little bit of relief in her heart, and the person in front of her didn't seem to be as unpleasant as before.

In fact, he has always treated her politely, whether it was three years ago or now.It's just that the sister's life and death were suddenly separated during these two periods of time, and the tone in Jinse's heart could not be smoothed no matter what.

"Do you still remember my sister?" Jinse felt that she was dazed, and asked suddenly.

Su Mo looked up at her, but was not surprised at all, just smiled slightly: "Of course I remember."

"How much do you remember?" Jinse asked closely, "Do you just remember her death?"

Su Mo suddenly glanced at the sour plum soup in front of her, but didn't answer.

"But I still remember." Jinse continued without waiting for him to answer, "I remember when I was a child, I often saw you coming to the mansion to find my sister. You were not married at that time, but you were really happy when you were together. But why? , when my sister marries you, everything will change?"

The sparkle in Su Mo's eyes froze in one place, and he looked at Jinse: "Do you remember that I used to go to your sister?"

Jinse looked at him, and after a while, she suddenly laughed at herself: "So you have forgotten. My sister is so stupid, I am so stupid..."

After hearing this, Su Mo's mouth curled into a faint smile, but his eyes became more and more condensed.

At this moment, a sudden message came from outside the hall: "King Ning is here——"

Su Mo raised his head, the sparkle in his eyes had dispersed, and he looked towards the entrance of the hall with a lazy smile.

When Su Li strode in, Jinse was sitting with his back facing him, as if he didn't notice him coming in.He greeted Su Mo directly, and when he sat down beside Jinse, he realized that Jinse had kept his head down, and the tip of his nose was slightly red.

Su Li frowned, and raised his eyes to look at Su Mo, but Su Mo didn't seem to notice, drinking from his glass.Only then did Su Li see the sour plum soup in front of Jinse again, and took a look at it.

Only then did Jinse realize that there was someone more beside her, and when she looked up, she met Su Li's indifferent eyes.And Su Li's gaze always stayed in her shining eyes.

Jinse smiled busyly: "The lord is here."

She probably didn't notice the strangeness in herself, so she smiled unscrupulously as usual, but with this smile, the sparkle in her eyes suddenly condensed into tears, which slid down her cheeks.Jinse was startled, and hurriedly wiped it with her hand.

Su Li turned his head away from looking at her, and ate with a sullen face.

Seeing this, Su Mo suddenly smiled, took out a silk handkerchief from his sleeve without avoiding suspicion, and put it in front of Jinse.

Before Jinse could figure out what was wrong with her, she covered her eyes with her hands, grabbed the silk handkerchief, and threw it back at Su Mo angrily.

Su Li's face suddenly became colder.

It happened that Zixi came out of the empress dowager's bedroom, and when she saw Su Li, she bowed and saluted, and said with a smile: "It turns out that King Ning has come. You don't have to worry about it." After speaking, her eyes suddenly touched Jinse, and she couldn't help but asked in surprise, "What's wrong with Princess Ning?"

Jinse felt dizzy and dizzy, and opened her mouth to answer, but suddenly found that it was very difficult for her to speak, as if her tongue no longer belonged to her.

Su Li raised his head and said calmly: "She's drunk. Zixi, help her to rest in the warm pavilion."

Zixi hurriedly stepped forward, seeing the bowl of sour plum soup in front of Jinse, she frowned and stomped her feet: "Which palace maid is so confused, to present this sour plum soup mixed with 'Long River Sunset' to Princess Ning? No wonder The concubine is so sad, it's hard work now!"

The Changhe Sunset was originally a very strong wine from the Gujiang Desert. A few years ago, by coincidence, it was served with sour plums by an imperial chef in the palace. Men can take it.Not to mention women, even if ordinary men drink it, it will be uncomfortable for a long time.

Jin Se was lifted up by Zi Xi, suddenly felt top-heavy, half leaned on Zi Xi and left the banquet hall.

Only then did Su Li look at Su Mo with deep eyes: "Is she being rude to Second Brother again?"

Su Mo smiled indifferently, because of drinking, his eyes were unusually bright, which was completely different from Su Li: "Drinking the long river sunset, today is considered polite."

Su Li twitched the corner of his mouth lightly: "Second brother doesn't care about her, that's naturally good."

Su Mo suddenly squinted his eyes, as if he was thinking about something, and then stretched out his hands to compare under the table: "The first time I saw Jinse, she was so young...four or five years old? Although these I seldom see her in Nian, but I can count on watching her grow up, how do you think I should care about her?"

Su Li listened, but did not answer. After drinking a glass of wine, Fang said: "Second Brother has always had a good memory. I just don't know if Second Brother can remember, have you ever met Song Heng?"

Su Mo turned his head and glanced at him, as if he didn't expect him to ask this question: "Song Heng?"

Su Li stared at him, and Su Mo's slender index finger stroked his forehead lightly. After a while, he smiled lightly and said, "I've never seen it before. Why do you ask?"

Su Li's eyes darkened: "There is no one named Song Heng in Qilin."

"Oh, really?" Su Mo smiled indifferently, "Maybe he used an alias."

Su Li sneered: "This person's origin is unknown and his identity is secret, I'm afraid it's not easy?"

Su Mo chuckled, his index finger still lingering on his forehead: "Xu Shi, are you thinking too much?"

"I wish so." Su Li lowered the corner of his mouth and said no more.

After resting in the warm pavilion for about half an hour, Jinse suddenly felt a burning pain in her abdomen, and only then did she understand what Zixi said earlier, "It's hard work", and she was so sad that she almost shrank herself into a ball.

Suddenly footsteps came from outside, Jinse heard that the footsteps were getting closer, before she could raise her head to see who it was, someone grabbed her jaw and forced a pill into her mouth.

Jinse looked up, but it was Su Li.

Her head was dizzy and she couldn't think of anything, but the moment Jinse saw Su Li, a corner of her heart suddenly reacted, and then she spit out the pill that Su Li stuffed into her mouth with a "poof" .

The pill hit the hem of Su Li's court clothes, and after landing, it rolled a long way, and finally stopped moving.

Su Li frowned slightly, just looking at Jinse.

Jinse's stomach still hurts badly, but seeing him looking at her so coldly, she suddenly became sober, and smiled weakly at him with cold sweat all over her head: "My lord, it's my lord who didn't come here, I'm sorry It's-"

Su Li lowered his head suddenly, and wiped the place where the pill had been stained with his cuff, and when he raised his head, he curled his lips into a smile: "It's nothing important. It's a pity that there is only one pill, and the princess still needs to endure some pain. "

Jinse was in so much pain, she buried her face in the soft pillow under her body with difficulty, and silently lamented that she had suffered for herself.

I don't know how long it took, Jinse felt that she seemed to have fainted many times, the pain in her stomach finally became lighter and lighter, and when it finally disappeared, Jinse was already weak and lying on the bed. There, I only felt that the clothes on my body had already been soaked in cold sweat.

It took her a long time to sit up with difficulty, but when she turned around, she found that there was another person on the soft couch opposite!

Su Li hadn't left yet, but had already changed into casual clothes, half leaning on the couch, as if he had fallen asleep, but although his eyes were tightly closed, the expression on his face was still as cold as usual.

Jinse stared at his face for a long while, and finally restrained her urge to stab him in the face with a hairpin. She lowered her head and was looking for her shoes, when suddenly someone broke in from outside.

The person who came was a lively and charming girl, about the same age as Jinse, with a shadow of the Queen Mother's beauty between her brows, but compared to the Queen Mother's cold demeanor, the girl had a domineering aura on her body.

Jinse recognized that this was the emperor and Su Li's sister, Princess Qingchu.

The moment Qingchu broke in, Su Li who was on the soft couch opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes were clear, he just glanced in Jinse's direction, and there was already someone beside him.

"Third brother, I finally caught you!" Qing Chu grabbed Su Li's cuff and raised her hand to pinch Su Li's face.

Su Li waved her hand away, a very clear impatience flashed across his face, and scolded: "What nonsense?"

Jinse almost immediately thought of her father's tone of reprimanding her before, and couldn't help but feel funny. Seeing that Qingchu didn't notice her, she simply lay back on the soft couch under her again, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

"I want to borrow Hui Jun from your subordinates, please quickly write me an edict!"

The Hui army is an elite army under Su Li's command. It is personally selected and trained by Su Li. The 1000-strong team is all outstanding players.

Hearing this, Su Li didn't say much, but held Qingchu's wrist lightly, but the pain was already so painful that Qingchu yelled again and again, without asking himself: "I want to find someone, so I can borrow your favor." The military envoy is only for one envoy, and when it is used up, it will be returned to Zhao in its entirety!"

"No." Su Li threw away her wrist and got up to leave.

Qingchu quickly blocked his way, and unfolded a picture of a figure in front of his eyes: "Third brother, just help me this time, okay?"

Su Li paused, staring at the handsome man in the painting, and then slowly turned his gaze to Jinse.

It happened that Jinse was curious, and was opening her eyes to peek at who the princess was looking for, but suddenly saw a face she was very familiar with, almost biting her own tongue, and met Su Li's gaze, she His complexion couldn't help but change.

Song Heng.How could it be him?
As soon as Su Li saw Jinse's expression, he was sure that the person in the painting was indeed Song Heng, whom he had met once, so he took the portrait from Qing Chu's hand, looked at it carefully again, and found that it was from the palace. It was the handiwork of the painter of Zhongruyi Museum, and then he threw the painting back to Qingchu: "Why are you looking for this person?"

Qingchu was terrified by his random throwing action, and caught the painting anxiously and angrily, distressed like holding a baby: "Su Li!"

Su Li glanced at her lightly: "What?"

Qingchu was immediately frustrated, shrinking her neck, but saw Jinse in a blink of an eye, and she didn't know what to think, and sat down next to Jinse.The two of them had never met each other before, but she took Jinse's arm affectionately: "Good third sister-in-law, please help me to intercede with third brother, let him lend me Huijun!"

Jinse glanced at Su Li involuntarily, and then her neck became stiff.Let her intercede, I'm afraid the consequences will be even worse?But she knew the person in the painting herself, so why should she ask others?

Jinse smiled at Qingchu, unfolded the painting in her hand again, stretched out her hand to caress the face of the person in the painting, and whispered after a while: "I recognize him."

"Really?"

Amidst Qing Chu's joyful exclamation, Su Li glanced at Jin Se lightly, and left the Nuan Pavilion calmly.
