Chapter 235
The servant followed and whispered to Song Youan, "Sir, how about I go and check who is the woman who is so bold?"
"Need not."
Song Youan raised his hand to stop the boy, "We just met by chance, so that's all."
With his status, he called her Sister Song, and she didn't feel disgusted at all - if one day she knew that he was a submissive man, she would definitely look down on him!
If that's the case, why bother checking?
The servant nodded and sighed, "Oh! Maybe she's someone's newly married wife, she's really bold. I've seen many banquets in the palace, but there aren't many who sneak away from the table like her, time and again."
After returning to the birthday banquet, Mrs. Chen Er recovered and couldn't help but asked in surprise, "Sister Song, you actually recognized that Pipa Boy?"
Song Guanzhou ate a few bites of crispy fruit and answered casually, "It was the first time we met and we chatted for a while."
"This……"
The Chen family's young lady pursed her lips and whispered, "He has a violent temper and is extremely lewd. I heard that he has had affairs with many dignitaries. We women in the backyard rarely see him, so we'd better stay away from him." This was considered as kind advice. Although Song Guanzhou did not quite agree, he still nodded and thanked her.
After that, Song Guanzhou never left the table again.
It was not until the end of the birthday banquet, when all the ministers knelt down to pay homage to the emperor and respectfully bid farewell to the most noble couple in the world, that the rest of the people began to gradually leave.
The lights in the East Palace were bright.
"Erlang, I'm lucky to have you here today."
Crown Princess Qin Ruzhang was still afraid and told Qin Qingdong again that she was still in shock. If it weren't for her strong willpower, she would have screamed out at that time.
"Don't worry, madam. Fortunately, everything is fine."
Qin Qingdong was leaning on his elbow and had a scratch at the corner of his eye. He had broken the rules all day and followed the emperor's eldest grandson. He never expected that after the banquet, when he was about to return to the East Palace, he just glanced and the emperor's eldest grandson was led to the rockery. The rockery was about one person tall, but it was strange in shape, with sharp rock peaks standing in the pool below.
If it were just a rockery, it would make people realize how dangerous it is.
When they came to their senses, many people wanted to help. Duan Liangyuan, who had been following the Crown Princess obediently, now exclaimed, "Hurry up and save the Emperor's eldest grandson, don't let him fall." After saying that, she lifted her skirt and ran up. The Emperor's eldest grandson had been standing on the top of the rockery, feeling very proud, but was confused by this shout and the panic of the attendants below, and now he staggered.
Qin Qingdong turned around and saw that the emperor's eldest grandson was unstable and about to fall.
He didn't care and pounced on him, becoming the emperor's eldest grandson's meat cushion. The meat cushion wailed, "Second uncle! It hurts——"
Qin Qingdong was hit hard by the seven-year-old kid and almost fainted, but he still held on with his good arm, hugged the emperor's eldest grandson tightly, and embedded himself in the pile of strange rocks under the rockery in a strange posture.
"Kang'er!"
Qin Ruzhang almost lost his composure as he ran over. The maidservants beside him had already stepped forward, waded through the water in the rockery, and carried the emperor's eldest grandson out. Qin Ruzhang hugged his son and felt him up and down, "Are you hurt anywhere?"
Liu Kang stretched out his little finger tremblingly, "Mother, ... the skin is broken here."
Qin Qingdong was also helped out with a grin on his face, and followed everyone back to the East Palace. The imperial physician came to check up and down, and found that the emperor's eldest grandson only scraped his little finger during the fall, breaking the skin a little. As for Qin Qingdong, half of his arm was dislocated, his waist was sprained, and there were various scratches on his face and body.
After the prince escorted the emperor back to the palace, he heard the news and hurriedly took the sedan chair back to the East Palace. He was relieved to see that Liu Kang was fine.
"Xi Hui, I'm lucky to have you."
Qin Qingdong bowed and saluted and replied, "Your Highness, your words are too serious. It's all my fault that I was too eager to see the beautiful scenery on the way and didn't take good care of the emperor's eldest grandson. I beg your Highness and your Majesty to forgive me."
"Xi Hui, where are you going? It's all Kang'er's fault that you got hurt. What did the imperial physician say? Did you move any bones?"
Crown Princess Qin Ruzhang had not yet taken off her court robes, and she was still wearing a golden crown that weighed heavily on her body. She had been nearly frightened to death by the incident involving the Emperor's eldest grandson earlier, and did not feel tired. Now that Liu Kang was fine, she felt the fatigue rising from her bones.
Seeing the prince asking this, he managed to answer, "He is agile, and although his arm is injured, his life is not in danger."
Thinking of what happened at that time, she was furious. Did Duan want Kang'er to get into trouble? She clenched her fists, but had to suppress them when she saw the prince.
After thinking for a while, he said softly, "Kang'er is fine. Although Erlang was injured, he will be fine after a few days of recuperation. But... if you have time, you should go to Duan Liangyuan to check on her. She saw Kang'er being coaxed onto the rockery and was so frightened that she was talking in a panic and screaming. I'm afraid she was also scared."
"……it is good."
After a lot of trouble, seeing the dusk rising, Qin Qingdong hurriedly excused himself. The Crown Prince and Crown Princess personally escorted him to the palace gate, but Qin Qingdong refused again and again before they stopped the Crown Prince's brother-in-law and sister from seeing him off.
The chief eunuch of the Eastern Palace personally escorted Qin Er to the palace gate and wanted to order a carriage, but Qin Er refused, "Don't bother, eunuch. Look, my brother is here to pick me up." After some politeness, Qin Qingdong got on the carriage. Qin Dalang immediately chased after him and asked, "How is Kang'er?"
"No problem."
Qin Dalang then breathed a sigh of relief and leaned heavily against the wall of the car, "Why did you come up with this idea today? You follow Kang'er closely." To be honest, the Crown Princess usually protects Kang'er wholeheartedly, but today something happened on the way back to the East Palace.
Incredible.
Qin Qingdong lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying, "My eyelids were twitching when I went out this morning. I was wondering what else to worry about besides Kang'er. Besides, Duan Liangyuan just had a baby boy."
"…Tell me the truth."
Qin Qingdong raised his eyes, "There is a young eunuch next to Kang'er, I don't recognize his face."
"Just that?"
"Brother, that little eunuch looked at me like a thief. I thought something was wrong, so I shamelessly went to sit next to Kang'er." Liu Kang is the first eldest grandson of the current emperor, and he is almost under his nose. Qin Qingdong, on the other hand, follows the seven or eight-year-old eldest grandson like a dog-skin plaster, following closely.
Even when he returned to the Eastern Palace, the Crown Princess asked him to leave, but he refused to leave.
——Fortunately he didn’t leave!
Before the Qin family left the palace, a young eunuch came running to find the imperial physician. The eunuch only said that Erlang had fallen off the rockery and was probably injured in the bones, but he refused to say anything else.
Suddenly, the old lady of the Qin family was so anxious that she could only shout "Amitabha". However, the eldest son of the Qin family remained calm and coaxed the old lady and the women of the family out of the palace. After sending them back to the Qin Mansion, he took a carriage to wait outside the East Palace.
We waited until dark.
"Thanks to our ancestors for blessing us. If anything had happened to Kang'er, we would have been in trouble!"
Qin Qingdong was gloomy for a long time before he slowly said, "Duan Liangyuan is deeply loved by the prince."
