Enter the Room

Song Tao lost the lawsuit, and Song Jiyun's case of falsely accusing him would need to be tried separately. Logically speaking, Song Tao should be sent to prison. But the people present were either from the Criminal Ministry or Dali Temple. Song Tao was just a commoner, and there was no need for people from the Criminal Ministry or Dali Temple to interrogate him. However, the presiding officer from the Criminal Department still asked the clerk to receive the pleading written by Song Jiyun's lawyer on the spot: "Transfer it to Shuntian Mansion. The people from Shuntian Mansion will interrogate you at that time."

The first sentence was said to the clerk of the Ministry of Punishment, and the latter sentence was said to Song Jiyun and Song Tao.

Song Jiyun thanked him respectfully, without even looking at the dull-looking Song Tao, and went to sign and deposit the documents under the protection of Zheng Quan, and go through the corresponding closing procedures.

The officials of the Third Division began to write the closing documents, then sent them to the cabinet, and then discussed them at court. After the emperor read them, they announced them on the eight-character wall in front of the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Yuan Yunzhong was pulled by the deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who asked him naggingly about his eldest cousin Yuan Jingnian.

Yuan Jing was promoted to Shaoqing of Honglu Temple a few days ago, and he was regarded as another rising star in the officialdom.

The crowd watching the excitement crowded in front of the Song family's steamed bun kiln, asking if they still had the pottery plaques. Some asked if the pile of "jade porcelain" bowls made by Song Jiuyun could be sold. Others asked. Does their shop, Yin Yu Tang, sell such bowls? Some people even asked them whether jade porcelain was really eliminated by the Song family.

There was a lot of chatter and it was very lively.

No one noticed when King Ning left.

How could Song Jiuyun care about him?

After she and the officials from the Third Division completed the matter of closing the case, she hurriedly went to find Yuan Yunzhong.

As for Yuan Yunzhong, when he saw Song Jiuyun reappearing in his field of vision from a distance, he sent the deputy censor and censor to greet him with a few words.

"How's it going? The procedures are all done." He said warmly, squeezed her hand quickly, and said, "I've already said hello here, please go back and have a good rest. I'll go over to see you early tomorrow morning. .”

Song Jiyun saw that several major officials of the Third Division had not left yet and asked, "Are you having any entertainment in the evening?"

"Well!" Yuan Yunzhong would not go with Song Jiyun like this even if there was no entertainment. After all, Song Jiyun had not married him yet. He was afraid that getting too close to Song Jiyun would affect Song Jiyun's reputation. "That person from the Metropolitan Procuratorate The deputy censor is my second cousin’s classmate, and the chief prosecutor of the Criminal Department is my eldest cousin’s classmate. Since we have met, let’s treat them to a meal.”

Being an official in this dynasty attaches great importance to the friendship between fellow villagers, the same year, and classmates.

Song Jiuyun nodded.

Yuan Yunzhong said: "Just eat whatever you want at Jinghua Building, it won't be too late."

He originally wanted to go see her at night, but he was afraid that she would disturb Song Jiyun to rest. When the words came to his lips, he swallowed them.

The two of them reluctantly said a few more words. Yuan Yunzhong watched Song Jiyun get on the carriage and then turned back.

Song Jiuyun was indeed a little tired.

Mainly because I didn't get enough rest.

Although the residence arranged for her by the Third Division was neat and clean, it was not as good as her own large carved bed, not to mention that she had always been wary of Prince Ning and Song Tao's manipulation.

She returned home, freshened up, had a hasty dinner, and fell asleep.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Yunzhong's carriage slowly stopped at the door of her house. Yuan Yunzhong opened the curtain of the carriage and looked at the house where only a few lanterns under the eaves were still illuminated. After a while, he lowered the curtain and returned. Jiangmi Lane.

*

In the Siyi Pavilion, Prince Ning, who had been arranged by the emperor to live here temporarily, was so angry that he smashed several vases that were several feet high before he felt a little calmer.

The eunuch serving in the study hurriedly handed the hot handkerchief to his hand. He took it and wiped his hands, saying, "Where is Mrs. Song? Are you back?"

The staff member next to him said: "I'm back. I'm kneeling outside and want to see you!"

"No!" Prince Ning said, throwing the handkerchief to the ground.

The little eunuch immediately picked up the handkerchief quietly.

"Isn't she cousins ​​with Song Jiyun? Why are they so far apart?" Prince Ning said with a gloomy face, "I don't even know if the glaze has been changed. Didn't she say that her porcelain firing skills are very good? That can't be true. Are you kidding me?"

"She shouldn't dare!" the staff member said calmly, "I have already sent someone to investigate the glaze matter, and there should be a reply soon."

When King Ning heard this, he raised his head and stared at him, like a ferocious beast staring at its food, and said, "Didn't you promise me that your plan will definitely succeed?"

Big beads of sweat immediately appeared on the staff's forehead.

He bent down and handed over his hands to King Ning: "This matter is just a small carelessness. It's just to guard against someone who might touch the firewood for our kiln, or bribe our stake master, or put the sagger into the kiln. The position was wrong when I entered it, and I didn’t expect that Yuan Yunzhong would actually start from the raw materials of the glaze and replace the plant ash we prepared for the Song family with cow ashes."

Before he could finish his words, Prince Ning interrupted him impatiently: "If you say 'unexpected', I think it's because you have no ability and it's just an excuse!"

As he spoke, he suddenly stopped, looked at Song Tao kneeling on the steps through the curtain, smiled coldly, and then said quietly: "You say, if I ask the emperor to marry Song Jiyun to be my concubine..."

The staff was shocked and said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid something is wrong. The emperor had promised Yuan Yunzhong before to grant him a marriage with the Song family. Many people in the court knew about it. The emperor's golden words are unlikely to break Yuan Yunzhong's trust. "

Prince Ning waved his hand.

The staff did not dare to continue talking.

Prince Ning paced around the room, thinking to himself: "It's because everyone knows that Yuan Yunzhong asked the emperor to grant him a marriage with the Song family, so I want to ask the emperor to make the decision to marry that Song family. Accept her as a concubine... In this way, we can do whatever we want with Jingdezhen's porcelain in the future... The Yuan family may be happy to see it happen... If this move is played well, it may not be impossible to succeed... Yuan Yun Zhong will definitely vomit blood if he finds out... Unless he dares to resist the decree... Besides, this imperial edict is an 'edict', and this Yi's edict may not be an 'edict'..."

He never avoided speaking to anyone.

Song Tao heard it clearly.

She had never been in contact with King Ning before and didn't know his temperament, but during this period she had been protected by King Ning. Along with the maids around him, she knew that whenever King Ning behaved like this, it was because he had lost his temper and was stubborn. Jiner, no one dared to pull him.

Her chest felt like a knife had been stabbed, and it throbbed and hurt.

how so?

Why Song Jiuyun?

In his previous life, Hong Xi didn't deal with Song Jiyun at first. But later, he became a pug next to Song Jiyun. If Song Jiyun didn't get married, he wouldn't get married either. If Song Jiyun had no money, he would provide money; if Song Jiyun had no power, he would make friends with noble people. In this life, Hong Xi didn't have the chance to get to know Song Jiyun, but he still got together with Song Jiyun, partnered with Song Jiyun in business, listened to her instructions, and helped her manage the shop in the capital, which was even worse than in his previous life.

Now Prince Ning also wanted to make her his concubine.

Will he, like Hong Xi in his previous life, slowly develop a deep love for Song Jiyun?

What's so good about Song Jiuyun?

Why did Prince Ning also fall into her trap?

Song Tao refused to accept it.

"Your Majesty!" she hissed, "the daughter of the people has something to say."

She was afraid that Prince Ning would ignore her, so she said, "It's about Song Jiyun."
