Bondage

"When the old man heard Nanqing's name, his bones were frightened."

Throwing the imperial decree aside with condensed eyes, Shen Qianyu's eyes were full of murderous intent, and there was also a little irritability.

The Nanqing Mission has not yet reached the border of Dongning, so if he picks it up now, won't it be a few months away from Shangjing?Why would he want to separate from Song Wan at this time?

The two of them share the same affection, and it is the time of deep love, and there is no difference between letting him leave at this time and killing him.

"Your Highness, calm down."

Wan Xiao stepped forward and picked up the imperial edict again: "If Song Chenghui knew that His Highness was angry during the Queen's funeral..."

Shen Qianyu glared at him angrily, Wan Xiao shrugged: "I'm afraid I think His Highness doesn't know how to be polite."

"It's ridiculous, how can I get angry over such a trivial matter."

He snorted coldly: "You follow me today, and let the guard of honor welcoming the Nanqing Mission follow behind."

If he travels in the name of the prince, he may not be able to reach the border between the two countries even if he waits for half a year.

"Your subordinate is traveling with the prince?"

"You have nothing to do all day, why not be with me."

After Shen Qianyu finished speaking, he asked the eunuch beside him to pack up his things and prepare to leave.

Song Wan received the news that Shen Qianyu was going to leave in the palace, and he was quite sad in his heart.But she was not someone who would express her emotions, so Heng Zhi Heng Wu packed up a lot of things overnight and sent them to Zhongshan Palace.

"Wan'er, come and meet me quickly."

Just after finishing the prince's trip, Lu Youyun dressed in mourning clothes and walked into Yi Pavilion with the servant girl. Song Wan stepped forward to greet her, and saw that she was carrying a huge bamboo basket in her hand.

"How did Lu Liangyuan come today?"

After she asked Jin Shu to pick up the things, she poured tea for Lu Youyun who was out of breath.

Lu Youyun took a big sip, and Fang whispered: "Isn't the crown prince leading the order to meet the Nanqing mission? I'm afraid I won't be able to eat or sleep well because of the tiring journey."

"Our sisters gathered some things and wanted you to send them to the prince together."

Song Wan nodded: "I have prepared some here, and I will send them together at that time."

Lu Youyun agreed, but her expression was weary.

During the mourning period, the queen cannot slaughter livestock within a hundred days inside and outside the capital, which means that she will not be able to eat meat, drink alcohol, or even listen to Qi Liangyuan playing the piano and singing for a long time.

This was a real torment for her.

Seeing that Lu Youyun was full of sorrow, Song Wan couldn't help comforting him: "His Royal Highness will be taken care of by Wan Xiao Jirong when he travels, so nothing will go wrong. Besides, although His Highness has been in Nanqing for many years, it is not what it used to be. When we meet Nanqing again People will not be bullied like they used to be."

"You don't have to worry too much."

"Ah... that's true."

Lu Youyun nodded in a daze, and nodded embarrassingly following Song Wan's words.

Seeing that she was still worried and unhappy, Song Wan said: "A few days ago, Hengzhi made honey-soaked hawthorns. I asked her to bring you two cans."

"What's so funny about that?"

Lu Youyun's round and chubby face turned red, and she pursed her lips in a shy smile: "Is it not troublesome?"

Song Wan couldn't help but feel happy when she saw her tender little face stained with a blush.

Among the East Palace, only Lu Youyun and Zhang Baozhen are younger, the two girls are gentle and kind, they are very popular with Song Wan, so she can't help but take care of them.

And I heard that some time ago, Lu Youyun's mother and sister entered the palace, and they asked her for 3000 taels of silver, but Lu Youyun couldn't get it, so they forced her to stay in the East Palace with the Fourth Miss of the Lu Mansion.

It's obvious what the Lu family's plan is, but this approach is really ugly.

Hearing from Heng Zhi that the Lu family had been in a row for a while, it was Shang Liangdi who sent the Lu family out in the end.

Song Wan sighed lightly, inexplicably sighing.

The Lu family was sure that Lu Youyun would not be favored, so they hurriedly abandoned her, which was really too cold.

"You took this honey-soaked hawthorn back, so don't be greedy."

Pack the things well in a mahogany carved lacquer box, and Song Wan told him carefully: "Hawthorn dissolves food accumulation, strengthens qi, and can strengthen the stomach and widen the diaphragm, but eating too much will damage the teeth and make you hungry easily."

"You tend to accumulate food in the past, if you feel uncomfortable in your spleen and stomach, you can use it or drink a few pills."

Lu Youyun nodded, joyful in her heart.

It was only after she entered the East Palace that someone spoke to her so tenderly. I don't know how much better than the Lu Mansion.One must know that when she was in the Lu residence, even the servants liked to chew her tongue behind her back and call her stupid.

Lu Youyun said gratefully: "I told Yinghong, let Yinghong look at me, I won't eat too much."

The palace lady named Yinghong nodded and wrote it down, and the two left Laiyi Pavilion.

After watching them leave, Song Wan went back to the study to read.

She has a low status and is not qualified to offer incense to the queen. If she has nothing to do, she can go to Emperor Shang Liang's bedroom to drink tea and chat with everyone, but now she can't walk around and violate taboos.

Everyone in the harem had to hold back like Song Wan for 27 days before they could wear plain clothes and go out of their bedroom to meet others.

On the first day when Chu Chu went to Shang Rong's dorm, the two concubines Shang and Wu, the four beauties of Qi Zhao Zhang Lu and the seven ladies Song Wan all sighed inwardly when they met.

I don't know how, but after a few months of getting along, everyone has developed a lot of deep friendship.

"Shang Liangdi hasn't had a good rest recently?"

Wu Xixiang asked softly. After a long time, everyone has become accustomed to the mark on her face, and now she no longer hides it, but she is much more comfortable than at home.

Shang Rong stroked her chest and nodded with difficulty.

The Queen collapsed, and the sound of chanting sutras came out from time to time in the palace. She was upset and found it difficult to recuperate. Therefore, during this period of restlessness, she became more ill.

Seeing this, Qi Qingling was worried, stepped forward and said softly: "The grandmother at home also often has headaches, I learned a set of massage and soothing techniques, if Shang Liangdi doesn't mind, I can help you pinch it?"

Everyone knows that Shang Rong was bitten by a wolf in the temple, but now the sound of chanting must have caused her many bad memories and affected her rest.

But even though Qi Qingling was worried, she didn't dare to step forward easily because of her six fingers.

But Shang Rong said: "Good boy, hurry up, this pain has tortured me to death."

She smiled weakly and lay down on the beauty couch.

Seeing that Shang Rong didn't look disgusted, Qi Qingling stretched out her hand and gently rubbed her forehead.A few people in the room retreated quietly, but they were reluctant to leave and sat in the courtyard.

Some of them are literate, and some have never read a book, so they mostly chat together when they get together.

Lu Youyun said that when she was young, she ate oil pancakes in an alley. The pancakes were crispy on the outside, fragrant and sweet on the inside, and it was the most delicious thing she had ever eaten.

Wu Xixiang said: "I am the only daughter in the family, but I was born with a bad mark on my face, which really caused my father a lot of trouble. On the day I entered the East Palace, it was the first time I saw my father crying so hard."

Song Wan shook his head slightly: "How can the imprint brought by the womb become an evil imprint? People in the world love to find some excuses to maliciously misinterpret it, or make up some nonsense to vent their evil thoughts. It's really ridiculous."

Zhang Baozhen, who was thin and withered, heard the words: "Zi Shi, Zi Shi, could it be that Wu Liangdi's mark jumped out of his face at night and slapped the mouth of the person who said something stupid?"

After a few puffs, everyone covered their lips and laughed.

Zhao Nanzhang also smiled and said, "Indeed."

When she was young, her mother had a dystocia and died twice. After three years of mourning, her grandparents passed away one after another.She delayed her flowering for a few years and was passed down as a monster by the world, and now she has married into the East Palace and punished no one.

Several women looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

They only know that the world is ignorant, if they live by listening to other people's words, how can they be as comfortable as they are today?
