Song Wende didn't care about anything, just dawdling around in a false position. The court was discussing the crusade against Ye State. Emperor Chengxing summoned Prince Rui back to the capital. He didn't know anything about it, but the Yun family knew about it.
Since the Yun family returned to Kyoto, everyone in the Yun family has been ignored, but the talents they have cultivated are still there. When was the eight-hundred-mile expedited imperial edict sent out? When did Xiao Ci and his wife enter the capital?
know.
The thought of coming to pick someone up outside the palace this time was not something Song Wende could do.
As soon as Xiao Ci saw Song Wende, he knew that the Yun family was probably also at the Song family, so he didn't ask any questions on the way. He led Song Qinghuan on the carriage to the Song family. As soon as he entered the backyard, he saw that the three uncles of the Yun family were all there.
All of them looked very ugly.
Xiao Yun and Song Qingyan were red-eyed early in the morning. They took Song Qinghuan's hand and said, "I never expected that our goodbyes would be like this."
Song Qinghuan himself didn't expect it. Although he had some feelings in his heart, he still grinned and asked: "Mom, where is the younger brother you gave me."
As soon as he finished speaking, a two- or three-year-old baby came out from behind Song Qingyan. The child was thin and small, but his eyebrows were exactly the same as Song Qingyan's. He raised his head and looked at Song Qinghuan with his round eyes, and then he shouted softly after a while.
:"big sister."
Song Qinghuan pursed her lips and smiled, reaching out to pick him up. She felt that the child was extremely light, and she couldn't help but frown slightly: "Are you usually a very picky eater? You are so heavy, and that little girl Jingrou can't help it.
."
As soon as the child was mentioned, Xiao Yun's attention was diverted, and she hurriedly said: "No, I have been picky since I was a child. I don't want to eat this or that."
As he spoke, he patted the child again and threatened, "Your eldest sister is good at medicine. I'll ask her to prescribe a few doses of bitter medicine for you later."
Song Tianci curled his lips, twisted his body and got off Song Qinghuan, and quickly hid behind Song Qingyan.
The second aunt of the Yun family, Mrs. Xu, saw everyone standing in the yard and started chatting. She laughed and said, "What kind of feng shui is this? If you don't go inside, you have to stand outside."
Xiao Yun finally realized what she was doing, and took Song Qinghuan to the dining room: "Look, I'm just talking. You guys have been so tired all the way, so I'm afraid you haven't eaten yet. I ordered the kitchen to cook your favorite food early in the morning.
Please eat more."
A group of people entered the house in great force, the little maid hurriedly set out the food and wine, and the whole family sat down at the men's and women's tables.
Xiao Ci did not panic at all when facing his father-in-law and Song Qinghuan's three uncles from the Yun family, he was respectful and polite, and he spoke politely.
There were no outsiders in the room, and Song Tianci also asked the maid to carry him in. Over a table of wine and food, the ladies discussed Xiao Ci's return to Beijing.
The ladies' table was not quiet either. Xiao Yun was being served food by Song Qinghuan and said at the same time: "A few of the children didn't come back with you. I heard that the Holy One summoned you to Beijing, so I was anxious, for fear that the children would suffer too."
Song Qinghuan was indeed hungry. He had been traveling for the past few days and could not eat or sleep well. From the moment he got off the boat to this moment, he had not eaten anything. He ate this time and said, "The children are young."
, where can we follow us on our long journey, and..."
There is no need to finish the rest of the words, everyone sitting here knows what they mean.
Bai Shi, the eldest aunt of the Yun family, answered: "It's a good thing that the children didn't come back with us. There's chaos in Kyoto. I'm afraid it would be better to be at home in Ruizhou when we come back."
Mrs. Xu also nodded. They are all mothers. They are all for their children. This time Emperor Chengxing summoned Xiao Ci and Song Qinghuan back to the capital. It was not a good thing. It would be even worse if the children were really allowed to follow him.
The handle is lost in the hands of these people.
After talking about the child, Mrs. Bai asked about Song Qinghuan's entry into the palace.
Song Qinghuan didn't hide it either: "The Holy One has already decreed that the prince will go on an expedition the day after tomorrow. I will stay in Kyoto and wait for his triumphant return."
With a hint of disdain on his face as he spoke, Emperor Chengxing said that in addition to letting Xiao Ci lead an army to conquer the Ye Kingdom, he also intended to keep her in the palace as a hostage.
Only Queen Wang happened to be there and pushed the matter aside with a cold face, so that she could leave the palace.
However, I had doubts in my heart. I heard that Emperor Chengxing had some ambitions in the early years, but later he was crippled by Empress Dowager Jiang, so he only had a lustful heart but not a brain.
One after another, I don’t know if he was all faking it in the past, or if someone is now giving guidance behind his back.
Bai was a cheerful person and knew that Emperor Chengxing originally wanted the Yun family to go to war for the sake of the two princesses of Ye Kingdom, but the Yun family brothers were disgusted and refused, so Emperor Chengxing gave up.
Now I heard that Xiao Ci was going to go on an expedition the day after tomorrow, and he couldn't help but sneer, and since he was the only one here, he said unabashedly: "I have never seen anyone in the family be so shameless, and they rob everyone."
Gone to another place."
Mrs. Xu hurriedly pulled her back and signaled her not to talk nonsense, and then said: "Your Majesty, it turns out that your Majesty was not like this. It was only after Empress Dowager Jiang became ill that her temperament changed."
Song Qinghuan grasped the key point and asked Xu in a low voice: "Is it because Queen Mother Jiang is ill that the Holy Father has changed his temper?"
Mrs. Xu nodded, it turned out that no matter how useless Emperor Chengxing was, he still had a moral bottom line. Although he liked good-looking girls, he never forced himself on anyone.
But last year, Emperor Chengxing fell in love with the wife of a court official, and later he used a trick to make the wife become his. The wife was also a fierce person. After she woke up, she couldn't bear it and threw herself into a well.
, the court official could not bear the blow and was killed in the Jinluan Palace, leaving only a pair of young children and their elderly parents.
Song Qinghuan had also heard about this matter. After all, it was not a trivial matter for it to reach Ruizhou Mansion.
Song Qinghuan's mind wandered, and after saying a few words, he dropped the matter without even mentioning it.
After they had had enough wine and food, Xiao Ci had finished talking. It was getting late, and several members of the Yun family also left.
Song Qinghuan and Xiao Ci were stayed at the Song family.
Lanyue Pavilion was still as clean and tidy as it was before Song Qinghuan got married. Knowing that Xiao Yunshi had intentions, Song Qinghuan was also happy.
Song Qingyan sent Song Qinghuan and Xiao Ci to the door. After taking a look at Xiao Ci, she thought for a while and said nothing. She only said, "Sister, brother-in-law, it's been a long journey, so please rest early."
Song Qinghuan saw that she had something to say, so he led Xiao Ci into the room: "You go inside first, and I'll talk outside."
Song Qingyan's cheeks turned red and she quickly said: "Sister, you should rest quickly. My brother-in-law will go on an expedition the day after tomorrow. Once he leaves, he will not be at home for a few days."
Saying this, he bowed slightly and hurriedly turned around and left.
Xiao Ci couldn't help but grin when he saw Song Qingyan was so aware of etiquette: "Qingyan is still sensible."
After saying that, he put his hand on Song Qinghuan's shoulder: "Let's go into the house and let my husband accompany you to get some fresh air."
