Chapter 97: The Power of King Su’s Mansion
In the private room of Cyclamen, all the tables of the Song family were already served. It happened that the family of Xing Shangqian, the number one scholar, had also reserved a private room in Cyclamen. The owner of Cyclamen was also a heroic man. With a wave of his hand, he saved the first scholar.
He and Tanhualang's family paid for the meal, and even came to toast him in person, saying he was very happy.
Mrs. Liang was very happy and told the owner of Cyclamen that today she would treat all the guests in the restaurant to a jar of Jinhua wine for each table.
The Xing family next door is a large family in Luzhou Prefecture, South Zhili. Xing Shangqian's wife came to Beijing with her children this time. Although the Xing family is not as wealthy as the Song family, Tanhua Lang's family has treated him to a treat.
How can we not invite guests at home?
So that day, an extra jar of Fenjiu was brought to each table. Jinhua wine and Fenjiu were both the best wines currently available.
Today, many family members of Gongshi gathered at Xianke Lai. When everyone heard that Mr. Song Ge was here, they rushed into the wing to toast Mr. Song Ge and congratulate him.
Mrs. Liang took the wine glass and went to the next door to toast to Mrs. Xing. Mrs.
Toast!
She is the mother of Tanhualang, and she is the wife of Number One Scholar. There is a big difference in seniority!
Mrs. Liang didn't care about this at all. She was not used to being restrained when she was in Lingnan. In addition, she was already a little smokey after three glasses of wine. She took Mrs. Xing and talked for a long time. Before leaving, she asked Mrs. Xing to take the children.
Come and play at home.
Everyone was busy for a while, when suddenly a guard of honor appeared downstairs, and a luxurious carriage stopped at the door of the restaurant. A servant reported that Prince Su had arrived with the eldest daughter of the royal family.
Song Qingyue's brows suddenly knitted together. It was a happy and lively day after all. Why did he come to join in the fun?
Suddenly her arm was touched. Song Yuxi looked at her with envy and said with a smile: "Go and greet her! She is here to support us just for you!"
Song Yaxin also nodded in agreement, hoping that Xu Youzhong would also come over. Today is a happy day for the Song family, and their prospective son-in-law should come over to congratulate him!
Look at Li Zhao!
No matter how noble your prince is, can he be more noble than other princes and princes? Everyone else is coming, so what reason do you have for not coming?
Li Zhao went upstairs and saw Song Qingyue standing at the top of the stairs waiting for him. His heart suddenly felt hot. He stepped upstairs in a few steps, took Song Qingyue's white and slender hand, and looked at her eyebrows and eyes with smiles.
"Why are you here? I don't know how to avoid suspicion!" Song Qingyue did not give him a good look.
Li Zhaoke didn't care what her face was like, Song Qingyue actually stood at the stairs to greet him. It was the first time that he had been treated like this. He leaned over to Song Qingyue's ear and said: "Grandpa Huang likes your second brother very much. I will give you my future."
It is reasonable and reasonable for the Yue family to congratulate you, who can say anything else?"
There was also a girl following below, who ran up huffing and puffing and complained: "Miss Song San will ignore me when I see her. How can I have a big brother like you!"
Song Qingyue turned her head and took a look. It turned out to be Li Hua, the eldest daughter of the royal family. Because she was a concubine, she had not yet been named a princess, not even a county princess.
In recent years, the world has been in turmoil. There are Jurchens and Tatars in the northeast, Oara and Chagatai in the northwest, restless Yunnan-Guizhou chieftains in the southwest, and Japanese invasions are rampant in the east. There have been constant wars, big and small, and wars will continue.
If you spend money, the treasury will be short of money. Once the money is short of money, the emperor will become particularly stingy with titles. In several palaces, all the sons who are concubines and girls have no titles until now.
However, although Li Huan did not have the title of princess or county lord for the time being, Song Qingyue still bowed to her first. After all, she was a girl from the palace and the granddaughter of the Holy Emperor.
Li Hua suddenly laughed, returned Song Qingyue's bow, and said: "I wanted to come and see the Jinshi people parading in the street, so I begged my elder brother to bring me here. Miss Song won't be surprised by the sudden visit, right?"
"It's our honor to have you here! It's not too late to be happy, please come inside."
Song Qingyue let Li Hua take the first step, and Li Zhao followed behind, holding Song Qingyue's hand again. The two held hands and walked to the door of the wing. Song Qingyue forcefully took her hand out of his palm. Li Zhao thought she was shy and held her hand over with a smile. Congratulations to Mr. Song who was already drunk.
Li Zhao is a foreigner, so when he comes, the private room must be divided into male and female seats. Fortunately, this private room is big enough, and the store moved a screen and another set of tables and chairs.
Here Song Qingyue introduces the eldest daughter of the royal family to her mother and sisters.
After a while, two tall carriages stopped at the door of Cyclamen downstairs, and Xu Youzhong and Jiang Yuanchao also came.
Song Yaxin and Song Yuxi felt sweet in their hearts, but Song Qingyue on the side was very surprised. In this intense stage of seizing the throne, do these people not avoid suspicion? Are they going to interact so blatantly?
And what is the attitude of the Xu family of Duke Wei's palace? Could it be that these two people, like their father, had been secretly deceived into a pirate ship by the extremely cunning father and son of Prince Su's palace?
Wait, who was the matchmaker between Xu Youzhong and the eldest sister?
If you think about it carefully, you will find that your family and the Duke of Wei have never had any friendship at all before! Moreover, the Xu family is a family of military generals, and the Song family is a family of civil servants. They are really two families that cannot be compared with each other.
It seemed that there was no warning before the marriage was arranged. It seemed that just after she was booked by Li Zhao, the marriage was suddenly decided.
Song Qingyue's mind went back and forth in an instant. The more she thought about it, the more it became true. It turned out that the queen's own family had been hooking up with Prince Su for a long time. If the queen knew about it, would she be so angry that she would crawl out of the ground and curse people? ?
But in the original work, did the Xu family turn to King Su?
How could she remember that the original article said that the Xu family had always been neutral, but after the heroine Meng Wanfeng cured the old lady of the Xu family, the Xu family turned to support Prince Jing.
Think again about the marriage partners of Prince Su's Mansion, the Meng family of Baoding Marquis' Mansion, the Ning family of Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion, the Fang family of Rongchang Bo's Mansion, the Guo family of Anyang Bo's Mansion, and now there is also the Xu family of Wei Guogong's Mansion. There may be more in-laws from these families, so powerful that they can even rebel directly, right?
How has Prince Su's power developed over the years? If the emperor knew the truth, would he be so scared that he couldn't sleep?
So does the emperor know?
Or do you know it but can’t do anything about it?
Such a Prince Su's Mansion is completely different from the one in the original work. Can the heroine Meng Wanfeng single-handedly defeat such Prince Su?
