Chapter 142 Palace Rules
Chapter 142 Palace Rules
Nan Xiang's eyes dimmed slightly, and there was a hint of coldness in her as she looked at Song Feiren.
Seeing that Song Nanxiang refused without hesitation, Song Feiren suddenly felt pale.
A sense of superiority and shame as a father suddenly arose from the bottom of my heart.
"Your Highness, please don't be so sure. I am still your father in name only. You have half of my blood in you."
Song Feiren spoke in a gloomy tone, and his eyes looking at Nanxiang were calmer.
He had forgotten about this matter. Since ancient times, people's hair and skin were inherited from their parents, so he still had some blood relationship with him. There was no need to talk to Nanxiang in such a humbly manner.
If Nan Xiang knew what Song Feiren was thinking at this moment, she would probably laugh like crazy.
Song Feiren is so arrogant that he actually wants to put pressure on Nanxiang by using the virtue of benevolence. He doesn't even consider whether he himself has been benevolent and fulfilled the responsibilities that a father should fulfill.
Nanxiang smiled calmly. She was not angry at all about Song Feiren's rudeness at this moment. It was not worth her anger.
She sat upright with her hands naturally placed in front of her, watching Song Feiren perform quietly.
"But you're done?"
Nanxiang asked softly, her tone sounded extremely calm, without any emotion fluctuations.
Listening to Nan Xiang's flat tone, Song Feiren suddenly became angry.
He stared at her somewhat viciously.
"Master Song, please don't overstep your bounds as you promised."
Seeing Song Feiren standing up and about to do something wrong, Kikuhei immediately walked up to Nanxiang and warned her in a cold voice.
Song Feiren finally came to his senses after hearing this. His heart skipped a beat and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
He had just forgotten that he was now in the palace, which was Song Nanxiang's territory.
His attempt to act like a scoundrel was no longer working.
Nanxiang nodded slightly to Kikuhei with a smile on her face.
This time, Kikuhei returned to Kusunoka's side.
"I was reckless just now. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
Song Feiren knew he was in the wrong so he bowed and begged for mercy.
"Since Lord Song is not satisfied with the price, I will change it. One thousand taels of gold for every word."
Nanxiang's eyes calmed down and she spoke in a firm tone. Then she stood up and returned to the inner hall with the help of Juping, not wanting to have any more entanglement with Song Feiren.
"One thousand taels of gold!"
When Song Feiren heard the first half of the sentence, a smile appeared in his eyes, thinking that Nan Xiang had finally figured it out. However, he did not expect that the second half of the sentence would make his mind go blank.
The price of Nanxiang has changed, but it is just a higher price.
"Master Song, please go back. My queen said that the price is one thousand taels of gold per sentence. Please try your best to send the gold. No more waiting, only before the evening of tomorrow."
Caiyun came out of the hall, bringing Nanxiang's message, and spoke to Song Feiren with an unhappy look on her face.
When she was in the Song Mansion, she saw Song Feiren's cold face many times, which made her queen suffer a lot.
At this moment, I didn't even think about giving this scumbag any good face.
"Please ask this girl to help pass on a message to your wife. Tell her that she has accepted the price of five hundred taels."
Song Feiren bit his lips tightly and spoke with some pain.
"My queen knew that Lord Song would say that. So she asked me to reply: My words cannot go any higher than they are spoken."
Caiyun imitated Nanxiang's tone and spoke with a childish voice, making people feel like a child imitating an adult's speech.
"Please help inform her again, young lady."
Song Feiren bowed himself even lower, his tone full of pleading.
However, when he raised his head, Caiyun had already returned to the inner hall.
When Song Feiren saw Caiyun disappear, he felt so regretful.
If he had known earlier that it would cost 500 taels of gold, he would have accepted it. Now it’s twice as much, what should he do?
Soon, several tall eunuchs came to Wangyueju and headed straight for Song Feiren.
"Please don't stay at the Royal Concubine's Wangyue Residence, Master Song."
The eunuch drove Song Feiren away in a cold tone.
Ever since Xu Ziang was captured, Gu Junshen had ordered these eunuchs to leave a few people behind in Wangyue Residence while they were patrolling to prevent any unexpected situations.
Just now, when Juping was conveying the message to Caiyun, he also found these eunuchs and gave them instructions to drive Song Feiren away.
Disturbing the tranquility of Wangyueju.
Liu Sheng, who was outside, soon learned some information from the eunuch guarding the gate of Wangyueju, and immediately returned to the Yangxin Palace to report.
……
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
Gu Junshen is playing chess with Gu Jintang.
The conversation between the two added a bit of joy to the originally quiet and solemn Hall of Mental Cultivation.
"I heard that a concubine in your harem committed adultery with a guard. Although it is a serious matter, please don't be too angry. Your health is more important."
Gu Jintang had just returned from the Empress Dowager's palace at this time, and this time the Empress Dowager was urging him to get married. She wanted to introduce several ministers' daughters to him, which made him very annoyed.
Gu Junshen raised his eyes and chuckled twice.
"You. How do you know that I am very angry?"
"Isn't this because my brother is frowning?"
As he spoke, he glanced at Gu Junshen again, further confirming his thoughts.
"You're still saying no, but you're so absent-minded when you're playing chess."
"I was thinking of something else. Not this."
Gu Junshen felt like crying but had no tears. He was thinking about Nan Xiang at the moment. After all, Liu Sheng had not come to report the situation yet.
He was really afraid that Nanxiang would be in a bad mood when she saw Song Feiren, which would affect him.
After a while, Liu Sheng came to report and told him the information he heard and Nan Xiang's series of reactions.
After hearing that Nan Xiang was really fine, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"It turns out that the Emperor is worried about the Imperial Concubine."
A hint of teasing flashed across Gu Jintang's lips. He didn't expect that his emperor had such a temperamental side. It was really rare.
When Gu Junshen saw the smile on Gu Junshen's lips, his face suddenly turned black.
"Okay. I won't ask the Queen Mother for mercy for you. You can do whatever you want."
Gu Jintang's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he almost forgot about the important matter.
……
Watch the moon at Xu time.
Gu Junshen stood with his hands behind his back, exuding a scholarly air. With the golden yellow robe on his body, he looked indescribably proud.
When he arrived at the inner hall, he saw Nanxiang taking a nap with her eyes closed.
He immediately curled the corners of his mouth and looked at her steadily. It was not until Nanxiang woke up that he revealed a smile as gentle as jade.
"My beloved concubine, are you tired today?"
He asked softly, his tone extremely gentle, with a slight smile on his face.
"Your Majesty is joking. What can I do? It's just some confusing accounts."
Nan Xiang shook her head slightly. She knew what Gu Junshen meant, but this matter was just a small episode to her and she didn't take it seriously.
"I wonder what my beloved concubine wants me to do with you?"
Gu Junshen raised his eyes, the tenderness in his eyes was three times brighter than the candlelight next to him.
"Your Majesty, please deal with it according to palace rules."
Nan Xiang smiled evilly and met his deep eyes, everything was said without words.
