The little cannon fodder kept releasing melons, and people lined up to eat melons

As soon as Song Qianning arrived at the third floor, everyone who was rehearsing the play seriously stopped. The thirty handsome men and beautiful women here were carefully selected by the matchmaker for the first time.

In order to rehearse the Plum Blossom Mark in The Romance of the Plum Blossom, Song Qianning selected several actors with outstanding looks from among them to take on the roles of the male and female protagonists and supporting roles.

In order not to delay the opening time in seven days, Song Qianning has only given them 20 scenes to rehearse. The rest were completed fine, but the crying scenes were difficult for them, as it was impossible for them to cry whenever they wanted.

Later, Song Qianning discovered that they could cry their hearts out with just one sentence, which was - send all of you back to the matchmaker.

Song Qianning watched a few games and thought they were pretty good. She also focused on correcting their emotions. After she felt that there were no major problems, she asked them to continue practicing.

Song Chengyi had watched the contents of these twenty shows, and he really wanted to know the next plot, but the third sister insisted on waiting until these twenty shows were finished before arranging the new plot, which made Song Chengyi scratching his head.

When the four returned to the Marquis' Mansion, the sun had already set. The old lady who was sitting in the front hall caught the four people red-handed. Even their father, mother and two brothers were there. The old lady grabbed the four and started scolding them, but they had learned the essence of letting it go in one ear and out the other from their third sister these days.

So the four of them let the old lady talk for a long time without saying a word. A few days ago, the old lady was happy that these four little rascals finally became sensible, but later she found that this was not sensible at all? This was a dream. The old lady was so angry that she slammed the table.

Song Chengyi couldn't help but mutter: "Grandma is really weird. When we talk, she tells us to shut up. When we shut up, she complains that we are quiet. It's true that when people get old, they have more things to do..."

"you do not say!"

"I think so……"

Song Qianning reminded: "Keep your voice down, wait until grandma finishes scolding, then we can leave..."

"Do you think I'm deaf? You are so disrespectful to your elders, get out of here..."

The old lady was so angry that she swept the teacup to the ground. This was what the four of them were waiting for. Song Chengyi quickly replied, "Okay, grandma," and got up and slipped away.

Seeing this, Song Qianning also ran away quickly. Song Qianxue saw that these two were really unkind and ran so fast, so she hurriedly stumbled and ran after them. Song Qianyu, who realized it later, also ran away...

In an instant, the four people disappeared. The old lady lowered her head and raised her finger to preach, but she didn't see any shadow. The old lady who didn't react maintained the movement of her finger in front of her, with a dazed look on her face.

Song Boyan and his two sons, who were watching the whole process, tried hard to hold back their laughter. Jiang glared at her husband and two sons, then smiled and comforted her mother-in-law: "Mother, the four of them are just like that. Why do you have to be angry with them? What if you get sick from being angry?"

"Look at the four of them, they go out early and come back late all day, especially the three girls, how can they look like ladies from a noble family?"

Song Chengzhou couldn't help but speak well of his younger brother and sister: "Grandma, the four of them go out every day just to tinker with their opera house. On the contrary, my third brother has something to do now. At least he doesn't hang around like before."

"But you can't always run around with your three sisters, right? Which in-laws would like a girl who shows up in public all day long?"

Song Boyan did not agree with his mother's point of view at all. He said: "My daughters of the Song family do not need to follow those rigid rules like those stubborn daughters. The children of the general's mansion should live freely."

The old lady glared at her son and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Which in-laws would want a daughter-in-law who doesn't know the rules?"

Song Boyan said nonchalantly: "If you don't want it, then don't want it. I don't care about it. It's not their turn to be picky about the daughters of the Song family. At most, I can support them for the rest of their lives..."

"Shut up. Don't think I don't understand your thoughts. When you were a child, you were also a naughty boy, always making trouble. But later, your father forced you to take on the heavy responsibility of the Marquis's Mansion, and then you became more stable. Now that you see the four of them, you want to make up for the regrets of your youth, right?"

Song Boyan, whose mother had spoken his mind, touched his nose guiltily...

Seeing her husband's embarrassment at being exposed, Jiang couldn't help but smile and spoke up to help him out: "Mother, calm down. I'll talk to them later..."

"What's the point of just talking? I think we should ask the guards at the door to keep an eye on them and not let them go out..."

Song Chengyan thought of the last time they climbed the wall and advised: "Grandma, let's not do it. If you don't let them go out, they will find other ways to go out..."

The old lady also thought of this and angrily said that she wanted to raise the walls of the yard.

Song Chengzhou smiled and said: "When the time comes, the four of them will definitely find a way to dig another dog hole to get out..."

Everyone else agreed with what Song Chengzhou said, mainly because there was nothing these four couldn't accomplish, especially bad things...

Yongfu Palace...

At this moment, Concubine Chen's mood could not calm down for a long time. She had been waiting and praying for so many years, and finally she saw hope at this moment.

From the day her son was judged not to live past the age of twenty, she could not sleep every night. Every time the sun rose, she saw not hope but despair, which meant that her son had one less day to live.

Especially since the emperor is already eighteen this year, her fear grows deeper day by day. When her son fell ill a few months ago, her heart almost stopped beating. The torture of being powerless is really too painful.

It's not that the emperor had never thought about arranging a marriage for his son, even if it was to a concubine, as long as he could keep a bloodline. But the prince was unwilling. He always believed that it was not necessary to harm other people's girls if it was his destined destiny.

Unable to bear to see the emperor angry, they had no choice but to let him decide. Now the emperor actually said that his illness could be cured.

The worried Concubine Chen insisted on knowing everything. Since it concerned her son's life, she would not allow any mistake.

Faced with his mother's insistence, Murong Jingchu had no choice but to tell the truth. He also knew that if he wanted to marry Song Qianning in the future, he must get the consent of his father and mother.

He hoped that after he and the little wild cat got married in the future, his mother would treat her as her daughter-in-law differently because the little wild cat had saved him.

He was also afraid that when the two of them met, if the mother could also hear the little wild cat's thoughts, she would overreact and the situation would be out of control, which would be bad.

After hearing all the truth from the emperor, Concubine Chen was unable to come back to her senses. She could predict everything. The emperor could also hear the voice in her heart? ?

Faced with his mother's disbelief, Murong Jingchu had no choice but to confess. Not only he could hear it, but the entire family in the Marquis' Mansion could hear it.

Concubine Chen asked in disbelief: "You mean the Marquis's family? My sister, your aunt?"

Murong Jingchu nodded. In order to dispel his mother's doubts, he had to tell her everything that had happened in recent days.

She didn't know whether the other stories about Concubine Chen were true or false, but she still knew about the ridiculous things that happened between the former prince of Huai Palace and the son of Minister Fei in the palace that day, as well as the half-male, half-female incident that happened some time ago.

Concubine Chen looked at her son trying to speak well of Song Qianning and felt like laughing. This was the first time she saw her son defending a girl in front of her.

Song Qianning? The daughter registered under my sister's name? My sister loves her very much. If Chu'er really likes her, it's not impossible.

"Chu'er, tell me, do you have any different feelings towards Song Qianning?"

Murong Jingchu didn't expect his mother to ask so directly. He answered uncomfortably: "I can't hide anything from you, mother..."

Seeing her son admit it, Concubine Chen's face was full of smiles. Today was the happiest day for her, not only was her son saved, but she also had a lover.

"When are you going to do it?"

Murong Jingchu knew what his mother was referring to. Not wanting her to worry, he had to tell the truth: "That night at the Hairpin Flower Banquet..."

Concubine Chen nodded. It was indeed a good opportunity. At that time, all the ministers, including the female members of the family, would attend the dinner, and no one in the Grand Tutor's Mansion would go to meet the concubine Qi at this time.

"This concerns your life, my son. Tell Jiuye and the others to be cautious and make sure they are fully prepared. Also, don't get tricked..."

"Don't worry, mother. With the Gu doctor here, Qi's tricks will never hurt Jiuye and the others. Besides, it's not just us who want Qi's life. That Gu doctor wants her life more than I do..."

Only then did Concubine Chen nod in satisfaction. Everything depended on the day of the Flower Hairpin Banquet...
