Chapter 180 180 Concubine Jing celebrates her birthday
Let’s talk about the Song family. Mrs. Song and Mrs. Song returned home that day, their expressions could not be calm for a long time.
When Song Cifu came back from his break, the old lady immediately called people over and told him the news. Song Cifu couldn't help but be shocked.
"Are you saying that the little girl from the Qi family is a member of King Shen, and she gave birth to a pair of twins for King Shen?" Song Cifu couldn't believe it. King Shen, wasn't he a man who was not close to women?
"Well, it's absolutely true. We have all seen the twins. They are very healthy and can walk and talk. They must be more than a year old." Mrs. Song gave the proof. Seeing the twins,
Probably no one would dislike it.
"Well, your Aunt Qian also confirmed that the baby girl is 90% similar to the old lady of the Liang family who passed away. It's unmistakable. Son, what should we do?" Old Mrs. Song recalled today's words and deeds and said somewhat sarcastically, "
I think the Qi family has guessed that we want to break the contract. Today at the Qian family, the Qiniang also revealed it in her words. She said she wanted to find a well-matched marriage for her brother."
"The marriage must be abandoned. I just met the No. 1 Scholar on the way home and I already talked about it." Song Cifu frowned, with mixed feelings in his heart. He really didn't know if he made the right decision this time.
When Mrs. Song heard this, she knew that the dust had settled. She couldn't help but let out a deep sigh of relief and said, "What about Sister Hui's marriage?"
"There is a man named Yu Wenbin among the new scholars this time, who is not bad. He is second in the second class. Now he has been admitted to the Shujishi and entered the Imperial Academy. I think he will be good if he is trained in the future." Song Cifu knew it well.
It’s just that I don’t know yet that Yu Wenbin is also related to Qi Qi. I don’t know what his expression will be like if he finds out later.
"Common man, your status is a bit low. Qi Moxuan is still a sixth-grade official after all, but he has no rank at all." Mrs. Song was a little disgusted. She felt that such a person was not worthy of her daughter. The master said
Can't you choose a good one? Do you have to choose among this year's new candidates?
"What do you know about women's opinions?" Song Cifu scolded.
Mrs. Song was speechless immediately, and naturally she had no chance to say the next words.
"This matter is settled, I will talk to Yu Wenbin as soon as possible, and you should also be prepared." Song Cifu was very domineering and spoke his mind.
The eldest palace maid smiled happily and said, "Your Majesty, I will go and prepare now."
Concubine Jing was stunned for a moment, glanced at his tea cup, then smiled softly, "What's the point? It's not what a concubine should do to serve His Majesty and feel comfortable."
After dinner, the two of them moved to the flower hall. The maids brought toiletries and helped them rinse their mouths...
Emperor Pei thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to Concubine Jing. I happen to have something to find her."
Emperor Pei walked under the moonlight to Jingyi Palace. Along the way, he saw the garden and pond, insects chirping and frogs chirping, and the breeze blowing on his face, which was very pleasant.
Concubine Jing was good at martial arts and her hands were strong enough. Emperor Pei was served quite comfortably.
The two of them entered the house side by side, and they looked quite similar.
The eldest son is in poor health, the second son is too stupid, the fourth son is mediocre, and the fifth son is too young. It seems that he is the only one who is most suitable to take over his big job, but he is not a womanizer at all.
In Jingyi Palace, Concubine Jing got the news, secretly curled her lips, asked the personal maid to give her a silver reward, and sent away the young eunuch who reported the news.
Two young eunuchs immediately came forward beside him. One neatly packed the desk with pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and the other carefully massaged Emperor Pei's shoulders.
Pei Disong hurriedly waved for the little eunuch to go down.
Emperor Pei smiled slightly, quite satisfied.
Concubine Jing, who was behind Emperor Pei, secretly rolled her eyes, but softly agreed, "I am the same."
"Hail your Majesty." Concubine Jing had been waiting at the palace gate for a long time. When she saw Emperor Pei approaching, she immediately saluted.
Concubine Jing had already stood up before he called her. Her movements were done in one go without any pause, which showed how perfunctory she was.
When Emperor Pei talked about his son, his emotions were somewhat complicated.
"Even this kid Sheng'er is already in his twenties. He hasn't married a wife yet and has children. It's so shameful. Is my beloved concubine worthy of consideration? We can't let him do whatever he wants and delay it again and again. There are more and more rumors outside. It’s even more outrageous.”
Concubine Jing waved her hands calmly and nonchalantly. At her age, she no longer cared about favors. When Emperor Pei came, she mostly just covered herself with quilts and chatted.
In the main room, dinner was prepared, and a group of palace maids and eunuchs were waiting on the side. The meal was extremely quiet.
Emperor Pei took a sip of tea. It was fragrant and pleasant, and his eyebrows relaxed. It was his favorite Longshan Yunwu. It was good and satisfactory.
"Go in, it's cold at night, so don't freeze." Emperor Pei reached out and grabbed Concubine Jing's little hand, held it in his hand and rubbed it for a few times, and then found that it was quite warm.
"Your Majesty, which queen are you going to rest with tonight..." The old eunuch looked for an opening and immediately stepped forward to ask.
"My beloved, get up quickly." Emperor Pei stretched out his hand to help her.
"My dear concubine, you are very thoughtful." Emperor Pei was very satisfied and did not hesitate to praise her.
In the palace, Emperor Pei finished handling the matters at hand and put down his pen and ink.
However, Emperor Pei's face remained the same as before, showing no displeasure at all, as if this was a matter of course.
Concubine Jing Tingting walked up to Emperor Pei, personally refilled his cup of tea, then walked around behind him and pressed his shoulders, "Your Majesty, please pay more attention to rest and take care of yourself."
It's a pity that if it weren't for her son, she wouldn't want to talk to him anymore.
"I know your concubine's wishes, which is very good." Emperor Pei patted his little hand on his shoulder and said with emotion, "I also look forward to growing old together with my concubine."
"Yes, I will let someone arrange it now." The old eunuch got the answer and immediately stepped back to let someone report it.
In the past few years, he didn't take it to heart, and was even a little afraid of this young, strong, brave and resourceful son. But in recent years, he knew that his own health was getting worse and worse. No, he was a little worried. .
Speaking of her son, Concubine Jing was naturally very concerned about her, but she vaguely heard that there seemed to be someone outside her son.
"Chen Concubine is also anxious. However, Sheng'er is a child with big ideas since he was a child. I have told him several times and arranged for him to serve. Unfortunately, hey..." Concubine Jing shook her head helplessly, and then looked at her. Yiyi looked at Pei Sheng, "Do you have any good ideas, Your Majesty?"
"Well, if the boy can't discuss it with him, then we will be tough if he is too soft. Isn't my beloved concubine's birthday at the end of the month? We can spread the news and invite the legitimate daughters of officials above fourth grade to come to the banquet. By then Let Sheng'er see it in person and let him choose one." Emperor Pei blew his beard and said bitterly, "If he doesn't cooperate, don't blame me for acting arbitrarily."
