He lowered his head and said: "What His Highness said is absolutely true, and I will definitely comply with it."
Just in time, the palace maid brought the hot tea that had just been brewed. Xiao Fengping retired from the palace and poured the tea himself: "After talking about business affairs, let's talk about private matters. I heard that you are now over 20 years old, but you have not yet married a wife and have children.
Could it be that I am too busy with work that I don’t have time to start a family?”
Song Huaishu hurriedly took the hot tea he poured with both hands and smiled implicitly: "Thanks to Your Highness's concern, I have been running around in order to handle cases these years. I am too busy to take care of myself. Where can I find time to marry a wife and have children? How can I marry someone reluctantly?"
I can't bear to have my wife alone and not be able to stay with her all the time, leaving her alone in an empty room. It would be better not to get married, to be alone, with no worries, and it would be more convenient and comfortable to do things."
"What the Yushi of the Song Dynasty said is wrong. Starting a family and establishing a career is an inevitable process in life. How can you not get married because you are afraid of being worried? Furthermore, in the dead of night, or when you are sick and uncomfortable, you have never felt lonely, and you have no hope at all.
Do you have a woman by your side to take care of yourself? We are all men, and I can understand some things without you having to tell me."
Song Huaishu smiled helplessly: "To tell you the truth, I am also a human being, and I have had this hope, but it was only short-lived. After I regained my sense, I still think it is better to be alone, and I don't want to suffer because of myself.
Drag other girls down."
"How can it be regarded as a drag? For a young talent like Song Yushi, there are not even a thousand but also eight hundred women in Wushuang City who admire you. If I could marry you, I'm afraid they would wake up laughing in their dreams."
Song Huaishu smiled lightly: "Your Highness is joking."
"Since this matter has come up today, I will do a favor and give you a beauty so that you can have someone by your side when you are lonely." Xiao Feng clapped his hands and immediately
A beautiful woman wearing a goose-yellow skirt walked in.
"Nujia Liuli, pay homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Song."
Xiao Feng waved to her: "Liu Li, come here and see Song Yushi. From now on, you are his, but you have to serve Song Yushi well, you know?"
Liuli walked over in small steps and glanced at Song Huaishu shyly. When she saw that he was even more handsome than the rumors, her admiration in her heart became even stronger. A faint blush appeared on her fair-as-porcelain cheeks: "The slave family wishes to send greetings to Mr. Song."
Song Huaishu looked away from her affectionate gaze and said uncomfortably: "Your Highness, Wei Chen, appreciates His Majesty's kindness, but this Liuli girl is really not suitable for Wei Chen. Please take back your life."
"Oh?" Xiao Feng raised his eyebrows, "Does the Censor of the Song Dynasty look down on Liuli? In that case, I will give Liuli to death. There is no use in keeping it. It is better to deal with it completely."
As soon as she heard this, Liuli's expression suddenly changed, and she fell to her knees with a plop, her face full of fear, and big tears fell down from the corners of her eyes. She cried so hard that I felt pity for her.
Song Huaishu immediately became anxious: "Your Highness, God is kind to you, so please let this Liuli girl go."
Xiao Feng said slowly: "She was a criminal, and she should have been executed. I saved her life out of compassion. But I can't keep her in the East Palace to cause trouble.
I was suspicious of her, so I planned to give her to Song Yushi, which could save her life, but Song Yushi didn't like her, so I had no choice but to execute her now to avoid further trouble. "
Hearing this, Song Huaishu's expression became even more unnatural, as if he was helpless and a little ashamed. He hesitated and struggled for a long time, and finally changed his mind and gritted his teeth: "Wei Chen is willing to accept Miss Liuli, and I hope your highness will do it."
Xiao Feng smiled with unclear meaning: "It seems that Song Yushi is really a good person with a kind heart. Liuli will not suffer any loss if he follows you in the future. Liuli, why don't you thank Song Yushi for saving your life?"
Liuli immediately knelt down in front of Song Huaishu and burst into tears of gratitude: "Thank you so much, Mr. Song. Even if my family works like a cow or a horse in this life, I will definitely repay your kindness!"
"It's easy to do. Miss, the situation is serious. You should get up first and leave the palace with me later."
"Thank you Song Engong!" Liuli kowtowed again and then got up. As a result, her legs were numb from kneeling for too long. When she got up, her body involuntarily fell forward, just in time to pounce on Song Huaishu who was sitting in front of her.
Song Huaishu hurriedly reached out to support her, and she leaned softly on his arm, with misty eyes full of shyness: "I'm sorry, my leg is numb..."
"Sit up, just rub it and it'll be fine," Song Huaishu pushed her away without leaving a trace, and sat upright without changing his expression.
Liuli could only withdraw from his embrace angrily, looking at him with tears in her eyes, her disappointment palpable.
Seeing this, Xiao Feng was a little surprised. Is this Song Huaishu really Liu Xiahui who is still in love?
Regardless of whether Song Huaishu was sincere or not, he took Liuli away in the end. The next day, the news spread like wildfire that Song Yushi had returned with the beauty in his arms.
When Cabbage learned the news, he hugged Xiao Lezi and cried: "Our innocent Lord Song was seduced away by that damn vixen like this. God is so blind, blah blah blah blah!"
Xiao Lezi was very speechless. She couldn't imagine how Song Huaishu was related to the four words "Bingqingyujie"? It is not a good habit to mix and match idioms.
She patted Cabbage's back and comforted her kindly: "Master Song is not young anymore. It's normal to have a woman by your side. The life of an old bachelor is not that easy. If you feel unconvinced, wait until Master Song comes in next time."
Gong, go and seduce him, maybe you can be taken home by him."
"We, Mr. Song, are not such casual men. You are talking nonsense!"
Xiao Lezi immediately laughed: "You also know that I am talking nonsense, how do you know whether other people's words are nonsense? Since you believe in your Lord Song so much, you should believe in his character and stop thinking nonsense."
Cabbage was stunned for a moment, then pushed her away, patted her thighs and jumped up: "That's right, instead of thinking about it here, I'd better ask Mr. Song about it in person. Maybe all this is just nonsense!"
She burst into tears and smiled, showing a satisfied smile that said "Yes, that's what we should do", and ran away jumping up and down.
Xiao Lezi stayed where she was, she and her friends were stunned.
She just wanted to persuade Cabbage to stop thinking nonsense. Why did Cabbage come to the conclusion of going to see Song Huaishu face to face? There is no inevitable connection between these things, okay?
Facts have proved that most women's logical thinking is made of flour. They can do whatever they want. Anyway, they can always find suitable reasons for their conclusions.
That afternoon, Cabbage stopped Song Huaishu on the road and said shyly: "This slave is Cabbage from Tianyi Palace. I would like to express my regards to Lord Song."
Song Huaishu nodded politely: "What does Miss Cabbage want from me?"
Cabbage blushed even more with embarrassment: "I heard that you took a woman as a concubine in the East Palace two days ago. Is it true?"
Song Huaishu didn't expect her to open her mouth and inquire about his private affairs. He was surprised and felt a little unhappy in his heart, but the expression on his face still maintained a polite smile: "His Royal Highness did send me a maid, but I didn't
He took her as a concubine and settled her in the house as a guest."
When she heard this, Cabbage was overjoyed. She had indeed seen the right person. Mr. Song is a gentleman and would never be fooled by a mere vixen! She smiled happily and said, "So that's it. Mr. Song is such a good man, slave.
I had nothing to do, so I embroidered a handkerchief and wanted to give it to Mr. Song. Please don’t dislike it, Mr. Song!"
After saying that, she gave Song Huaishu a handkerchief embroidered with Clivia, and then ran away with a blushing face.
Song Huaishu looked at the handkerchief in his hand. He could neither throw it away nor keep it. He was really helpless.
This scene happened to fall in the eyes of Xiao Shen who was passing by. He saw Cabbage's shy and timid expression, and felt inexplicably unhappy. After Cabbage left, he filled with an inexplicable anger and walked up to say hello with a fake smile.
: "Song Yushi, it just so happens that you are here too?"
Song Huaishu hurriedly raised his hands and saluted: "The minister came to the palace today to do business, and happened to pass by here. I never expected to meet the fifth prince. What a coincidence."
Xiao Shen glanced at the handkerchief in his hand and felt it was particularly dazzling. His tone was sour: "You are really popular. No matter where you go, there will be women giving you tokens of love."
In the harem, it is a serious crime for a female family member to treat a man privately. Song Huaishu was shocked in his heart: "You are joking, this handkerchief is not a token of love, and there is no personal relationship between me and Miss Cabbage."
"In that case, why do you still want to accept it? Seeing that you are so aggrieved, if you really don't want it, just refuse it."
No matter how dull Song Huaishu was, he could hear the sourness in these words, and he quickly offered the handkerchief with both hands: "Wei Chen doesn't want this veil at all. If you don't mind it, Wei Chen will borrow flowers to offer to Buddha and give this veil to me."
you."
Xiao Shen wanted to say that he was not surprised, but then he thought, it would be great if he could use this handkerchief to piss off that ugly cabbage girl. He coughed twice and pretended to say: "Since I am Song Yushi's
With good intentions, I accepted it."
He took the handkerchief and took a look at the finely stitched clivia. He snorted in his heart. He wanted to use the flower as a metaphor for people. How hypocritical!
After turning away the hot potato, Song Huaishu felt relieved: "I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave first."
The two parted ways, Xiao Shen turned the handkerchief in his hand and grinned, thinking that if that dead girl Kale saw that the token of love she sent was in his hand, she would be furious.
What does it look like? I’m really looking forward to it!
The more he thought about it, the happier he felt. He immediately walked impatiently to the Tianyi Palace. As soon as he entered the door, he grabbed a palace maid and asked, "Where is the Cabbage Man?"
The palace maid hurriedly saluted: "Sister Cabbage just went to see Eunuch Xiaolezi. She should be working in the yard at the moment."
Xiao Shen immediately ran to the courtyard with a handkerchief and saw that Cabbage was watering the flowers and plants. Xiao Lezi was wrapping some flowers and plants with cotton cloth to prevent them from freezing to death in the winter.
"Hey, you are all busy!" Xiao Shen leaned over with a playful smile and turned the handkerchief around, "Are you tired? Do you need to wipe your sweat? I have a handkerchief here that you can borrow.
