MTL - The Crown Prince Chases His Wife-Chapter 122 Shangyuan

Shangjing, Qin Xiangfu.

"What did you say?" Song Mei raised her head in shock and looked at Li's mother who had just entered the house quickly.

The multi-colored mandarin duck and lotus flower bowl containing the tonic soup that slid down from Song Mei's hand spun around on the table for half a turn, and finally rolled to the ground.

With a "bang", the porcelain shattered, and the opposite mother Li trembled involuntarily.

"Say it again!" Song Mei's voice was shrill, her heart was full of anger and disbelief.

Mama Li swallowed her saliva, and then hesitantly recounted what she saw just now.

"Madam, I saw... I saw two small sedan chairs being carried into the mansion through the back door. There were two young women in the sedan chairs. They said they were... they said they were the concubine of Xiangye Xinna..."

There was another shattering sound, and Song Mei swept the cup and plate on the table to the ground.

Mother Li didn't want to be affected, so she took a step back.

In the past, Mrs. was gentle and virtuous, but her temperament has changed greatly in recent days. She has become more and more emotionally unstable. It's no wonder that when I saw a concubine entering the mansion, most of the servants were talking about waiting to see a good show.

Song Mei abruptly got up and walked out, but suddenly stopped at the door.

Where can she go? Looking for a grandfather? Or go to the old lady? Or to find those two women?

She was only a concubine, and she was reluctantly carried a flat wife. What reason could she use to prevent the prime minister from taking a concubine...

Song Mei's eyes darkened, she slowly walked to the low couch and sat down, staring blankly at the front.

Li's mother called her maid to come in to deal with the broken cups and plates. No one wanted to touch the lady's bad head. No one dared to make a sound.

After cleaning up, Mama Li and the maid went out and closed the door.

Song Mei sat in silence for a while before gradually regaining her senses.

She tried her best to calm her mind and organize her thoughts.

Qin Wenzheng is not a womanizer, and he has never taken a concubine in these years, nor has he searched for flowers and willows.

It is precisely because Qin Wenzheng is not very interested in women's sex, after she entered the mansion as Mr. Xi Xi, she took so many troubles to be able to be with Qin Wenzheng...

Then why is he taking a concubine now?

Song Mei suddenly thought of something, her eyes widened.

Could it be... he wants to have another heir?

but…

In doing so, he will discover...

------

"Ma'am, ma'am, it's not good..."

Mama Li hurriedly pushed the door and came in, her chest heaving and panting, as if she was running back quickly.

Song Mei slowly raised her eyes, but there was not much turbulence in her heart.

What could be worse news...

Mama Li gasped a few times and said:

"Ma'am, someone from the Ministry of War is coming. Master Tongxiang is in the front hall. It seems that you are saying that the young master is going to join the army."

"What!" Song Mei stood up suddenly, but suddenly felt dizzy.

Mama Li immediately supported Song Mei and let Song Mei slowly sit back on the couch.

Song Mei put one hand on her forehead, drank a sip of hot tea, and calmed down for a while. Then she was supported by Li's mother and hurried to the front hall.

-------

The main hall of Qin Xiangfu's mansion.

Qin Wenzheng sat on the head, and at the lower left of Prime Minister Qin was Chen Xun, the minister of military affairs. In the hall, there was still Qin Ming, who was looking down at the ground.

Due to the attack on the Northern Territory in the past few days, the Ministry of War has been extremely busy with official business. Chen Xun did not have much time to delay, so he went straight to the topic:

"Your son came to the Ministry of War today and said that he wanted to join the army, because according to the Great Summer Law, you need to be fifteen before you can join the army. Qin Gongzi is only fifteen years old, so it is not impossible to be a little flexible, but you still need to confirm with Qin Xiangye. ."

The Ministry of War has indeed been dispatching people to Shuobei these days. Chen Xun could see that this young master of the Qin family went to the Ministry of War by himself and said in a daze that he wanted to join the army. It must have been his personal actions. Dare to accept this precious son of Qin Xiangye easily.

Qin Xiang frowned slightly and looked at Qin Ming,

"How did you have this idea?"

Qin Ming raised his head, looked directly at Qin Xiang, and said loudly:

"I heard that the Shuobei army is recruiting, the man is to protect the family and defend the country. If you don't go now, when will you wait?"

Qin Wenzheng looked at Qin Ming and was silent for a moment.

He had already learned about the attack on the Northern Territory, but the Shuobei army did not recruit with great fanfare, but was only dispatching personnel. Qin Ming's source of information should be the young masters who were close to him on weekdays.

But Qin Ming was just on a whim, or...

At this moment, Song Mei stepped forward anxiously, she went straight to Qin Ming, and just as she was about to speak, Qin Wenzheng spoke first.

"it is good."

Qin Ming's eyes darkened. At this moment, should he be happy for his father's approval, or should he feel sad?

He was even more convinced that perhaps his previous guesses were the truth.

His father had taken great pains to send him to Guozijian, and wanted him to serve as an official.

If there was no problem with his own life experience, how could his father agree so readily.

Song Mei didn't hear the previous article, she didn't know what Qin Wenzheng was saying "yes", but she still felt a little uneasy.

Minister of War Chen Xundao:

"Young Master Qin needs to go to the Ministry of War for assessment. If there is no problem, he will leave for Shuobei Camp in a few days. Please prepare as soon as possible."

Chen Xun suddenly thought that He Xiao, the eldest son of the He House, was the son-in-law of Qin Xiang, but not many people knew about He Xiao's situation, and even Qin Xiang had not heard the news.

He opened his mouth, but still held back the words. This is not good news, and it should not be told by an outsider like him.

Chen Xun got up to leave, and the housekeeper Zhang Quan sent it out.

------

After Chen Xun left, Song Mei stepped forward to Qin Ming, grabbed Qin Ming's arms with both hands, and asked anxiously:

"Ming'er, are you going to join the army?"

Fifteen-year-old Qin Ming, who was already tall, looked down at his mother Song Mei with a complicated expression.

"Yes." Qin Ming replied with a word, and then bowed to Qin Xiang.

"I'll go back and prepare first."

Qin Ming pulled his arm out of Song Mei's hand, turned around and strode away.

As for Qin Ming, who had just turned around, his nose was sour, and his eyes were already wet.

In this home where he has lived for fifteen years, he doesn't want to stay any longer, nor allow him to stay any longer.

"Ming'er." Song Mei rushed after a few steps, but Qin Ming quickly disappeared at the door.

Song Mei turned around and complained to Xiang Qin:

"Why didn't Mr. Xiang stop Ming'er? What if there was an accident when he went to the battlefield? Ming'er is the only son of Mr. Xiang..."

Having said this, Song Mei stopped for a moment. She thought of the two women who were brought into the house today. No wonder Qin Wenzheng was so calm.

Song Mei, with tears in her eyes, asked Qin Wenzheng:

"Master Xiang has newly recruited two concubines, so that they will have another heir?"

Qin Wenzheng looked at Song Mei coldly, but did not answer her question directly:

"Why did Qin Ming intend to join the army? Don't you have a clue?"

After speaking, Qin Wenzheng got up, crossed Song Mei, and left.

Song Mei froze in place, what she didn't understand at this time.

That day, Ming'er bumped into Qin Wenzheng's confrontation with her, and Ming'er's state has not been right since then.

Ming'er is doubting his own background...

------

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the first day of the first lunar month.

In the imperial city, the Palace of Heaven bestows banquets on hundreds of officials and their relatives.

At the time of Shen, the empress left the banquet, and the banquet gradually dispersed, but today's celebration has just begun.

From the 14th day of the first lunar month to the 18th day of the first lunar month, the curfew is lifted in Shangjing City, and lanterns are allowed to be put on, which is the Lantern Festival.

Especially on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the night of Shangyuan was the most pompous.

Since dusk, the street market is full of lamp buildings, lamp trees, lamp mountains, and all kinds of lanterns, which is dizzying. All night long, the lights are brilliant. There are hundreds of songs and dances, and the scales are tangential, and the music is noisy for more than ten miles. People put up lanterns to watch and revel all night.

Qin Yan and Feng Zhan have no interest in the lantern fair, and they only plan to go back to the house to do something they love.

But there was no shortage of lively spectators. After the banquet, Qin Xi took Qin Lin to the crowded market.

The Qin sisters strolled in the West Market for a while, and the two entered the Yunfu Tea House and chose a private room on the second floor facing the street to rest for a cup of tea.

The location on the second floor has an excellent view, and looking down on the brightly lit street market from a high place has a unique taste.

Qin Xi held her face with one hand and was in high spirits, while Qin Lin just drank tea quietly.

"Eh?" Qin Xi suddenly said as if he saw something.

Qin Lin looked down along Qin Xi's line of sight, and the same pair of deep eyes collided.

It's him.

At this moment, outside the crowded gate of Yunfu Tea House, it is Feng Subei, the prince of Duanwangfu, who is looking up.

Feng Subei and Qin Lin looked at each other, and then walked into the tea house.

Qin Lin retracted her gaze, let out a sigh of relief, and brought the tea cup to her lips.

Only she herself knew that just now she felt uneasy in her heart.

She never dared to stare at that person for too long, those focused black eyes always gave people an illusion, and if they were not careful, they would fall into it.

"Knock, knock, knock." There was a knock on the door of the elegant room.

Qin Lin held the teacup's hand for a while, and Qin Xi looked at Qin Lin with wide eyes.

"It can't be him..."

Qin Lin didn't move, but Qin Xi got up curiously and took a few steps to open the door.

It's really him!

"Sir." Qin Xi bowed to Feng Subeifu.

Feng Subei nodded, and then turned his attention to Qin Lin, who was sitting with his back to him.

Qin Lin sighed softly, ah...

------

In the box, Feng Subei and Qin Lin sat opposite each other at the tea table. Qin Xi went out and closed the door. He leaned against a private seat in the atrium outside to ask for a pot of tea, and looked up from time to time to observe the movement of the box.

Feng Subei's eyes were fixed on Qin Lin's face, and his voice was low:

"Tomorrow I'm going to Shuobei. Once this trip is over, I don't know when I will return to Beijing. You and I didn't meet by chance. I came to find you to explain some misunderstandings."

What Feng Subei didn't say is that before he goes to Shuobei this time, he will bring An Yanxi back to Youzhou. Perhaps the number of visits to Beijing in the future will be limited.

Qin Lin learned from her father that the northern border is not peaceful, should he go at this time?

Feng Subei continued to speak:

"I and Shizifei are not as rumored by the outside world. There are other reasons for getting married, and I am not married to her."

"I hope you don't misunderstand. I'm not jealous of you, and I'm not trying to humiliate you. I once tried to restrain my good feelings for you, but the encounters again and again made my self-control collapse."

"If it's really fate, that's all."

"May you be safe and prosperous, and meet your beloved at last."

After Feng Subei left, Qin Xi came back quickly, seeing that Qin Lin seemed to be in a bad mood, Qin Xi didn't disturb her, lying on the window rail and watching the lights and crowd below.

After a while, Qin Xi suddenly got up, grabbed Qin Lin and walked out.

"You're going to get sick sooner or later."

Qin Xi and Qin Lin squeezed into the crowd full of laughter and into the warm atmosphere of this festival.

The young man who hadn't gone far, his eyes full of silence, seemed to be out of tune with this lively scene, and the tall figure disappeared step by step at the end of the street.

------

Beiliang Palace.

Shen Shiying and his party were ready to go.

Xiao Qian, Emperor of the Northern Liang Dynasty, looked cold at the glamorous woman wrapped in a thick fox fur cloak.

"Go to Daxia with me, do you feel ashamed?"

Shen Shiying laughed, stepped forward slowly, and reached out to touch the mature and handsome profile of the man.

"Isn't the flood delayed last time? There are some things that I need to go back to confirm in advance."

Some hatred, she wants to personally...

"Hmm..." Shen Shiying was hugged by Xiao Qian in front of him, and gave a strong kiss.

When the lips and teeth were separated, Xiao Qian narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at the woman in his arms, and said fiercely:

"If you dare to disappear for me again, the army of Beiliang will immediately press on the northwestern border of Daxia."

Shen Shiying…
