35. Green Tea's Revenge(1/2)
The celebration banquet became weird.
Empress Dowager Ping snorted coldly: "General Song, do you know what you are talking about? You are the only son of Zhenbei Gong. Have you ever considered your parents' feelings when doing this?"
Song Qingyu lowered his head and knelt there, sighing deeply: "I originally wanted to hide it from the two elders..."
The implication is that you, an old woman, gave me a marriage to you, if nothing happened, otherwise how could my parents know that my sleeves were broken?
Ping's face was dark: "You are the famous general of Nan Chu! If this kind of thing is spread, how can Nan Chu be in front of the other two countries?"
Originally, the people of Beihu always mocked the men in Nanchu as women, but people in the world have a very deep prejudice against men with a romance, which is abnormal!
Song Qingyu sighed again: "If the last general doesn't say anything, if you really marry the third princess, wouldn't it hurt her..."
The implication: I'm honest, do you think it's not appropriate? Then, will you marry your most precious granddaughter and let her live a life of widowhood all your life?
Ping was so angry that he slapped the table in front of him and said coldly: "Your Majesty, you cannot let such a person without virtue be the general of Nan Chu!"
Although many people think that Song Qingyu's reputation was ruined by this matter, no one, including Emperor Chu, thinks that his hobbies are in conflict with his generals. Most people even prefer Song Qingyu because of their prejudice against women as generals.
Emperor Chu looked at Song Qingyu with deep eyes, sighed and shook his head: "My mother, that's all. Although General Song... has always been clean and sincere. If he didn't say it, he would really marry Ling'er, which would have hurt Ling'er. He had no idea about his character and ability. He would definitely need a lot of courage to tell about that matter."
"Thank you for not reproaching me," Song Qingyu said respectfully.
Emperor Chu spoke flat, and Song Qingyu lowered his head and went back to sit down, looking at his nose and his heart, and no one looked at him. Instead, it made people feel that his "unspeakable hiddenness" was known to others and felt embarrassed.
No one thinks Song Qingyu is lying.
First, if a man says such things in public, his reputation will inevitably be destroyed and criticized.
Secondly, if he rejects the princess, he will never marry other ladies in the future, otherwise he will be deceiving the king. If he does not marry, the Song family will inevitably lose the incense. This consequence can be afforded by normal people.
Third, when they heard the words of Song Qian of Zhenbei Duke and looked at the face of Wen Min, the wife of Zhenbei Duke, they knew that they knew Song Qingyu's hobbies, at least there were signs.
Some people say that there is no need for Song Qingyu to be so honest, so he simply accepts the marriage and marry Chu Lingyun back. Although it will be exposed soon, the royal family will not do anything to him.
Some people also say that Song Qingyu is clearly in his heart because he doesn't want to make that "him" unhappy, so of course he can't marry Chu Lingyun.
...
But in short, it is impossible to give a marriage, and I will never mention it again.
Those ladies present who admired Song Qingyu, their careful hearts that were experiencing pink bubbles were broken all over the ground...
Ye Ling looked at Chu Lingyun without a trace. She had returned to her dignified and decent appearance, as if what had just happened had nothing to do with her.
After the celebration banquet, Song Qingyu went to help Wen Min, but Wen Min threw away his face with a cold face.
Song Feng held Wen Min in front, Song Qingyu lowered his head, followed not far or near.
Those who saw this couldn't help but sympathize with Song Feng and Wen Min.
He was quite young and almost died before, but he finally saved him, but he turned out to be a broken sleeve! The two elders must have been looking forward to holding their grandson, but now, don’t think about it!
After leaving the palace and boarded the carriage, Ye Chen asked: "Auntie, what's wrong with Uncle Song? Why are everyone watching him?"
Ye Ling chuckled: "Because he looks good."
Zhenbei Gong Mansion.
It was late at night, and Song Qingyu followed Song Feng and Wen Min silently to the main courtyard.
When she entered the room, Song Feng sat down with Wen Min, and Song Qingyu stood in front of them with his head down.
Before Song Zhao could speak, she sighed first: "A Yu, tell the truth to your father, don't you really like men, right?"
Wen Min looked worried: "A Yu, you don't even want to pursue a girl as good as Ye Ling, just be a sister. Do you really don't like girls?"
When Song Qingyu heard this, he was amused and laughed: "Dad, mom, I don't."
"Really not?" Song Feng looked suspicious.
Song Qingyu nodded seriously: "No, I said I wanted my mother to hold her grandson, it was serious."
"You child!" Song Zhao slapped the table, "I guessed that you just didn't want to marry the third princess, and I made an excuse on purpose!"
Wen Min hurriedly went to pull Song Bi: "Shh! Sigh down, don't let people hear it! This is a deception to the emperor!"
Song Feng twitched: "Even if you don't want to accept the marriage, you can't say that in public. How can you marry a wife in the future? Let us hold grandchildren? Let us hold grandchildren in our dreams?"
Song Qingyu chuckled: "Dad, I know what I know. I swear to marry a good wife and let you hold your grandson as soon as possible. If I didn't say that at that time, I would definitely not be able to reject the marriage."
"You are smart!" Song Feng glared at Song Qingyu, then shook his head and smiled after he finished speaking, "Just like being a father! He recognized your mother as a father, and no one could stop him!"
Wen Min gave Song Feng a look: "Who is the age, and you still say that, don't be afraid of children's jokes!"
Song Qingyu's lips curled slightly: "How could it be? The relationship between my father and mother makes me yearn for it and I am very envious."
After Wen Min married Song Qian, her stomach was not moving for more than ten years. Everyone advised Song Qian to give up Wen Min and persuaded him to take a concubine to pass on the incense, but Song Qian just ignored it.
The one who made up the idea was that Wen Min couldn't give birth to a child and adopted Song Feng, who had also accepted him. Now, naturally, he would not force Song Qingyu to marry a woman he didn't like. He even thought that Song Qingyu had his style! Men should do this. If they don't like, they would be responsible for their whole life if they marry them!
At that time, Song Feng and Wen Min were not sure whether Song Qingyu was lying or really silly, but as parents, the only thing they could do was to stand firmly on Song Qingyu's side and cooperate with him.
If there is really a problem, they will solve it with the problem closed and will never do anything unfavorable to Song Qingyu in front of outsiders.
"Oh!" Wen Min looked at Song Qingyu and sighed, "It's true that Mom said she wanted to hold a grandson, but don't be wronged. Fate is a matter of no rush. Mom believes that my son is so good, there will definitely be a good girl waiting for you."
Song Feng snorted: "Wait, see how our good son marry his wife back!"
The next morning, news about Prince Zhenbei Gong and General Song Qingyu of Southern Chu was a broken sleeve spread at a speed of lightning!
Those who hear it are shocked, those who hear it sigh, and there are many different opinions.
Soon, this matter will be known to everyone in the world.
However, Song Qingyu didn't care.
Nanyang Hou Mansion.
Ye Ling came to review Kong Yu.
The injuries on his face were almost healed, but the injuries on his legs needed to be taken care of.
"Have you heard about the third princess?" Ye Ling asked.
Kong Yu nodded: "Ask this big thing, my father told me when he came back last night. I admire General Song's courage and decisiveness."
Kong Yu didn't believe that Song Qingyu had been so happy that he suddenly turned into a broken sleeve. He must have been forced by Chu Lingyun! Relying on being a princess, he would marry whoever he wanted to marry? He was so self-righteous!
"What would you do if the third princess was given a marriage to you?" Ye Ling asked with a smile.
Kong Yu looked refusing: "I have a cleanliness, and I would rather live alone to live my old age."
"I have backbone!" Ye Ling stood up, "I used the original prescription before the New Year. I will change the medicine for you after the New Year."
"Thank you!" Kong Yu bowed.
Lingxiu Palace.
Chu Lingyun, who is always dignified and elegant in front of others, has a very bad temper in private.
After the celebration banquet last night, Chu Lingyun was angry and returned to Lingxiu Palace and got angry.
I woke up early in the morning, and then fell, smashed, beat and scolded the palace maids who served me.
"Broken sleeves?" Chu Lingyun's face was heavy, and she twisted the veil in her hand, "I don't believe it! How could a handsome man like him be a broken sleeve? Song Qingyu, I asked the emperor's grandmother to marry him because I respect you. In order not to marry me, I don't even want to see what time you can pretend to be?"
Chu Lingyun sent someone to stare at Zhenbei Gongfu, and the next day he received a report that Ye Ling took Ye Chen to Zhenbei Gongfu, and had a meal before leaving.
"Ye Ling! It's her again!" Chu Lingyun's face darkened. This is an old enemy! She remembered Ye Ling disrespectfully to her clearly!
Chu Lingyun suddenly remembered... Song Qingyu returned to Chujing seriously injured, and was escorted by Ye Ling. Feng Buyi treated Song Qingyu, which was Ye Ling's arrangement. Song Qingyu had almost never been to another mansion, but was a regular visitor to Prince Jing's mansion. Song Qingyu recognized Yun Yao's mother as his godmother and took her to the mansion to live. It is true that he and Yun Yao are brothers, but would he have the intention to take Yun Yao's widow Ye Ling?!
Chu Lingyun believed in her intuition and didn't believe that Song Qingyu was broken. When she thought about Song Qingyu and Ye Ling together, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that these two people must have problems!
Imperial study room.
Emperor Chu was reviewing the memorials and received a report that Chu Lingyun had something to ask for.
Emperor Chu frowned and let her in.
"Ling'er, what's wrong?" Emperor Chu asked with a faint expression.
"Father, it's about General Song Qingyu." Chu Lingyun looked respectful.
Emperor Chu frowned: "There is no need to mention your affairs with him!"
"Father, he is definitely not a broken sleeve!" Chu Lingyun said firmly.
Emperor Chu looked impatient: "Take out evidence, otherwise you will step down!"
"Father, listen to me." Chu Lingyun said to Chu, "I suspect that my father was blinded by Song Qingyu and Ye Ling!"
Emperor Chu frowned: "What does this have to do with Ye Ling?"
"Father, Ye Ling refused to marry the Eighth Emperor's Brother, and Song Qingyu refused to marry me. I know that my father cherishes talents and is extremely tolerant and generous to them, but their behavior itself is enough to show that they have not put the right position of the monarch and minister at all! How loyal can such a person be?" Chu Lingyun looked serious, "I suspect that the two of them have already hooked up in private!"
Emperor Chu's face was slightly dark: "There is no evidence, don't talk nonsense!"
"Father, Ye Ling is a friend of Young Master Feng from the Divine Doctor. Even if she is seriously injured, will her martial arts really not be restored? What if she is disguised? If Song Qingyu said she wanted to marry Ye Ling, would her father consider it? After the two of them merged, they would have a great threat to the Chu royal family? So Song Qingyu claimed to be broken and Ye Ling pretended to have nothing to do with her. In fact, they wanted to dispel his father's vigilance! With the restrictions of the Chu royal family, Song Qingyu could no longer marry! What if he and her, they would have to rebel? At that time, the military power is in the hands of Ye Ying and Song Qingyu, and aren't it still doing whatever they want?" Chu Lingyun said it excitedly, "Father, although these are all speculations, they are not without foundation and reason!"
Emperor Chu's face was as deep as water: "Do you know, what are you talking about?"
Chu Lingyun nodded: "I know that my father loves talents and cherishes talents, especially value generals. But if he has a rebellious heart, no matter how strong his ability is, he will never be able to do it!"
