Concubine Liu’s son is Song Qinghuan’s former husband, Xiao Wei.
This topic was already a bit sensitive. Song Qinghuan pursed her lips and did not answer the question. She only lowered her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes, as if she didn't hear anything.
But his ears were perked up, hoping that Queen Wang would say more.
After all, after the death of the leading prince Xiao Mu, there was still a strong voice in the court to support the establishment of Xiao Wei as prince, but it was later disturbed by the Empress Dowager Jiang.
Nowadays, although Xiao Wei is not regarded as the prince, there are still many ministers standing on his side. Anyone with a shallow mind may think that Xiao Wei is destined to be the prince. It is just a matter of time.
However, Queen Wang said such words. Firstly, she might know that Xiao Wei was just a chess piece. Secondly, she might have said it out of hatred.
Song Qinghuan couldn't figure out exactly what she meant by just relying on her words.
Queen Wang didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. She just said that and didn't continue the topic. She only chatted with Song Qinghuan.
Queen Wang's behavior made Song Qinghuan more and more puzzled, but she still managed to hold it in. She didn't say anything or asked anything, and only talked about other things with Queen Wang.
She entered the palace in the morning and let her out before noon, without leaving any food. She only gave Song Qinghuan a pair of red gold and diamond bracelets before leaving.
Queen Wang said: "Although this child Rouzhen is not my biological child, I raised her with my own hands. She is gone, and I feel empty in my heart. This pair of bracelets were my dowry back then. I originally planned to do so."
I gave it to her when she got married, but now I can't give it away. You have always been on good terms with her, so giving it to you is regarded as fulfilling my wish."
Song Qinghuan felt a little strange. Although she had a good relationship with Xiao Jingrou, she had no friendship with Queen Wang. Even though she later married Xiao Ci and became sisters-in-law with Queen Wang, there was no intersection between them.
Since it was something that was going to be left to Xiao Jingrou, why would it be given to me if it was not a relative or a reason?
She tentatively asked: "Since it belongs to the princess, wouldn't it be better for the emperor's sister-in-law to keep it as a memory?"
Queen Wang's expression was a little anxious, her lips moved, and then she sighed deeply: "I want you to have a good relationship with her, so giving it to you will be more useful than staying here. What is this?
They are all gone, these things are nothing more than seeing things and thinking about people when you put them in front of you."
Song Qinghuan did not miss the expression on Queen Wang's face. Her eyes fell on the pair of red gold bracelets on the box. She felt a thrill in her heart and took them: "I thought it was wrong."
After coming out of the palace, Song Qinghuan did not go to the Song family, but returned to Prince Rui's Mansion.
Three years ago, the family moved to Ruizhou, and the palace was left vacant, but some people were left to guard the door. Now, even though they are in a hurry to Beijing, the house is also tidy.
After Song Qinghuan hid the box and entered the residence, he asked Texue to guard the door and took the pair of bracelets in his hands to look at them carefully.
The pair of bracelets were finely made, with auspicious patterns of dragons and phoenixes carved on them. They looked old, but the diamonds on them seemed to have been newly added. It seemed that they were specially set in order to serve as a dowry for Xiao Rouzhen.
If you wait for something good, it will be priceless even if you take it out.
Song Qinghuan took the bracelet in his hand and looked at it once, and sighed: "I didn't expect that Queen Wang still has some feelings for Rouzhen."
Otherwise, I wouldn't even think of giving such good things to her.
After carefully placing a pair of bracelets, Song Qinghuan turned the box containing the bracelets over and over again, even cutting the entire box into several pieces, but found nothing unusual.
He frowned slightly and said strangely: "Is it possible that I made a mistake?"
Just now in the palace, when she wanted to shirk, she clearly saw that Queen Wang was a little anxious. At that time, she thought that maybe Queen Wang wanted to send her some news by sending something. Otherwise, there would be no need to do this.
But now, the box was torn into pieces and nothing could be seen, which made Song Qinghuan have some misunderstandings.
She knocked the wooden boards of the box one by one and found no hollows.
Obviously, there is nothing hidden in that box.
Song Qinghuan thought of Queen Wang's expression and felt that something was wrong. After taking apart the box, she studied the pair of bracelets again and again, but she didn't see any mechanism or live body on the bracelets.
As a result, there are no clues on the box and no clues on the bracelet. So what does the Queen mean by giving this thing?
Song Qinghuan couldn't figure it out for a while. He always felt that Queen Wang didn't really think that she had nowhere to send the things, so she gave them to her.
Since he couldn't figure it out, Song Qinghuan didn't force himself. He wrapped a pair of bracelets with a handkerchief and put the disassembled box aside, preparing to wait for Xiao Ci to come back.
Xiao Ci was going to lead troops to attack Ye State early tomorrow morning, so he stayed in the army all day. In the evening, he was called into the palace by Emperor Chengxing to see him off. When he returned to Prince Rui's Mansion, he was all
It is already the time when the moon reaches its zenith.
Song Qinghuan had freshened up and hadn't slept yet. She looked at the bright lights inside and outside the house. She was wearing a rouge-red pajamas and was counting the clothes for Xiao Ci to bring with her, as well as the ones she wore during the day with Texue.
***.
The yellowish light shone on her body, highlighting her softness even more. Xiao Ci smelled of alcohol. As soon as he entered the door, his eyes fell on her and he couldn't move. He smiled from a distance: "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
"
Hearing this, Texue quickly stopped what he was doing, bowed to Xiao Ci, and then retreated.
The door of the room was closed, but the cold air in the ice basin did not escape for a while, making it slightly stuffy.
Song Qinghuan labeled the bottles and jars of medicine with names and said, "You have to take them with you when you go out. The battlefield is not as good as Ruizhou, and there will always be times when it comes in handy."
Xiao Ci nodded, looking at her serious look, he couldn't help laughing. He reached out and grabbed her into his arms, took a bite on her shoulder, and saw that she gasped in pain.
Let go and sigh: "I really want to put you in my purse and carry it with me all the time. If I think about it, I can let you out and see."
Song Qinghuan was amused by his words, but immediately felt empty in her heart.
Ever since she got married to Xiao Ci, the two of them had never been separated, let alone him going to the battlefield and not knowing when he would be back.
She said: "I would also like to go with you, but if I go, won't I make you worry about it and hold you back?"
She reached out and hooked Xiao Ci's neck and put her head on his shoulder: "I'll wait for you at home, wait for your triumphant return, wait for you to accompany me to Ruizhou, and live our fairy life."
Xiao Ci also laughed, his slightly cool lips took a sweet sip on her neck, and chuckled, "I think you just can't bear hardships."
He smiled to himself but didn't think it was that funny. He stroked Song Qinghuan's back and suddenly asked, "What will you do if I die outside?"
