"I don't know what the two of you are worried about?" Song Qingshu showed a puzzled expression, "In my opinion, the trip of the county lord of Ake to the capital is beneficial and harmless, why are you so resistant?"

"What does it mean to be good and harmless?" Ah Ke wrinkled his nose and snorted, "My entry into Beijing is of course beneficial to my father, you and everyone, but it is not good for me. ”

"If you enter the palace as the emperor's concubine, maybe one day you will be able to honor the world, what's the disadvantage?" Song Qingshu asked deliberately.

"Hmph, the position of the queen, maybe other people are rare, my Ake is not rare, the man who is mainly married in this county must be handsome and chic, but also civil and military all-rounder, and most importantly, he can only love me alone for the rest of his life. At this time, Ake's spirit was radiant, and his face was shining.

Chen Yuanyuan looked at Song Qingshu with some embarrassment, thinking that he had been in the dust when he was young, and in the dead of night, it was inevitable that there would be a trace of this kind of girlish fantasy, but unfortunately he would soon wake up in the cruel reality, and now he naturally hopes that his daughter can realize her wish.

"Since you don't want to be the emperor's woman, it's easy to do. Song Qingshu wiped his sweat, "Otherwise, I'm really embarrassed." ”

"What do you mean?" Ah Ke glanced at Song Qingshu suspiciously.

Song Qingshu said with a smile: "The county lord can rest assured, after you enter the palace, the emperor will only make you a female official, and will never accept you as a concubine." ”

"How is that possible, people...... People are so beautiful, the pervert emperor will definitely let me go to bed when he sees me. Ah Ke rubbed the corners of his clothes with his small hands, and said with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"Well, actually," Song Qingshu thought about it, but still planned to tell her the truth, "There are really a lot of beauties in the palace, and there are several concubines whose beauty is not inferior to that of the county lord, such as Concubine Mi and Concubine Yi, who have the appearance of captivating the country and the city, and compared with the youth of the county lord, they are more charming as women." ”

Chen Yuanyuan looked at him with a peculiar expression, and thought to himself: He actually dared to judge the emperor's concubine like this behind his back, that tone ...... It seems that the guests who used to linger on the banks of the Qinhuai River commented on the Qinglou girl.

Although Song Qingshu didn't realize that he had committed the crime of disrespect, he was not very good at judging other women in front of two women, and hurriedly said: "Of course, these are not the key, the main thing is that your identity is sensitive, and it is inconvenient for the emperor to accept you." ”

Chen Yuanyuan, who has had a bumpy fate in his life, has already seen through the hypocrisy of men, and when he heard Song Qingshu's prompt, he immediately reacted, Ah Ke's father is the world's number one traitor Wu Sangui, Kangxi has always paid attention to his reputation, plus there is no shortage of stunning beauties in the harem, how can he leave a stain on his reputation in history for the sake of a woman.

Seeing that Ah Ke was confused and a little angry, Chen Yuanyuan hurriedly said: "Ah Ke, the emperor will not embarrass you, although you enter the palace with Lord Song and do something for your father." ”

"No, I don't want to die alone in the palace. Seeing that his mother didn't help him anymore, Ah Ke suddenly panicked, with a hint of crying in his voice, thinking of entering the palace, and the emperor didn't accept it, isn't that life just an old palace maid?

"Don't worry, county lord, in fact, there are some things that I shouldn't say......" Song Qingshu glanced at Chen Yuanyuan and sighed, "In order to reassure Madame, I will quietly tell you that sending you into the palace is actually just a gesture made by King Pingxi for this plea, and the emperor must also understand this, so it is impossible to keep you in the palace all the time, and after the princess's turmoil has passed, the emperor will find a reason to send you back." ”

"What if the emperor keeps me as a hostage!" Ah Ke regretted it as soon as she spoke, she had listened to Wu Sangui's father and son discuss the rebellion a lot, and she knew in her heart that her father and the emperor would one day tear their faces, thinking that if she happened to be still in the palace at that time, wouldn't it be extremely miserable?

Hearing Ah Ke's words, Chen Yuanyuan and Song Qingshu both looked at each other, although Wu Sangui was about to rebel, which was something that everyone knew about, but at least they still maintained a superficial harmony. Ah Ke said this kind of thing in front of Song Qingshu, the minister of the Imperial Mission, if it reached Kangxi's ears, wouldn't it be even more confirmed that Wu Sangui did have antipathy?

Song Qingshu thought about it, and replied to Ah Ke's words, and she was no longer worried: "You are not your brother." The implication is also very clear, if Wu Yingxiong arrives in the capital, Kangxi may really keep him as a proton. A Ke's daughter, no matter how beautiful she looks, is just a woman, and her weight in the family is not heavy. If Kangxi threatens Wu Sangui with her as a woman, not only will it have no effect, but it will also be laughed at by the world.

"Lord Song can say this, the concubine mother and daughter are really grateful. Chen Yuanyuan's voice was tactful and soft, with a pair of phoenix eyes as clear as water, and he glanced at Song Qingshu gratefully.

"If it was in front of the prince of Pingxi, Song would naturally not say these words, but seeing the peerless elegance of his wife, he really didn't want to use the officialdom's deception to perfunctory his wife. Song Qingshu said.

Lord Song laughed, the concubine is old and decrepit, how can she afford the words "peerless". Hearing the other party's praise, Chen Yuanyuan covered his mouth and smiled, his face was flushed, his eyes were rippling, his cherry lips trembled, and his face was sad for a while, and the room was full of coquettishness.

"Mother, where are you old, don't believe me, ask Lord Song, when we stand together on the street, do we believe that we are sisters or believe that we are mother and daughter?" Although Ah Ke is conceited and beautiful, he has always been convinced of his mother. Holding his mother's arm, Ah Ke gently leaned his head on Chen Yuanyuan's shoulder, tilted his head and pursed his lips at Song Qingshu and smiled: "Lord Song, you can say something." ”

"Miss Ake, I thought you were already the best in the world, but I never thought that your sister would be a little more beautiful than you. Song Qingshu pretended to be serious, and blushed the pretty faces of the two beauties opposite.

The three of them chatted casually for a while, and Ah Ke finally agreed to go to the capital with Song Qingshu, but he was quite reluctant to let his mother go, and proposed to accompany her more for the rest of the time.

Song Qingshu and the mother and daughter agreed to pick up Ake on the day they left Shanhaiguan, so they got up and said goodbye.

After returning to the city and sending someone to inform Wu Sangui of the news, Song Qingshu waited silently for the twilight to come, looked at the direction of the Sansheng Nunnery, and thought in his heart: as long as he got this book of the Blue Banner "Forty-two Chapters Sutra", he would only be left with the copy of Prince Bao Hongli...... As for the treasure map of the six scriptures embroidered on Shuang'er's dirty clothes, he had already subconsciously regarded them as something in his pocket.
