Song Qingshu shook his head with a bitter smile. He naturally knew the reason. On the surface, Huang Chang was angry at him for bullying his disciple, but in reality, he was suspicious of Song Qingshu's identity and wanted to test out Song Qingshu's martial arts. Fortunately, Song Qingshu had learned a variety of martial arts, so he didn't know if he was able to fool Huang Chang.
"I haven't seen you in a few months, and your martial arts have improved by another level." The yellow-robed woman suddenly exclaimed, "These past few years, Master rarely makes a move. Looking at Jianghu, there aren't many people who are his match. I didn't think that you would be able to withstand dozens of moves without showing any signs of being defeated. I don't know how you practiced your martial arts at such a young age."
"If you want to learn, I can teach you." Song Qingshu looked at her meaningfully.
"You can teach me?" The yellow-robed woman couldn't help but feel her heart palpitate. She was also a martial artist, and although she wasn't a martial arts fanatic like Zhou Botong, her desire to pursue martial arts was also very strong.
"The Tantric Buddhism Sect has a technique called the Blissful Dhyana. It relies on dual cultivation to increase one's strength. The process is both fast and wonderful. If you want to learn it, I can reluctantly become your dual cultivation partner." Song Qingshu smiled mischievously.
"Pei, a dog's mouth can't spit out ivory." The yellow-robed woman spat and turned to leave.
"Hey, don't go. I still haven't thanked you for saving me." Song Qingshu hurriedly chased after her.
"Hmph, if I knew this would happen, I would have let Master kill you. This world would have one less scourge." The yellow-robed woman's face was as cold as ice, but her lips revealed a trace of a smile.
Song Qingshu laughed, "If I die, your two younger sisters will become widows. Are you really willing to do that?"
"What do you mean I'm unwilling? Master, please conduct yourself with dignity." The yellow-robed woman coldly left behind these words, then ignored him and walked away with a cold face.
Song Qingshu was stunned. She was fine before, but now she seemed to be really angry. What was going on? Was it because I mentioned her younger sisters?
While he was distracted, the yellow-robed woman had already disappeared into the distance. Song Qingshu smiled bitterly. Well, this time he needed to ask for directions to find out where the banquet hall was.
However, he didn't know whether it was because of the assassins during the day, or because the Imperial Palace had set up a curfew, or because the yellow-clothed woman had purposely led him to a remote road, but there were pitifully few people along the way. He couldn't even find a single eunuch or palace maid.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Song Qingshu began to wonder if he had lost his way. Just as he was hesitating whether or not he should use his qinggong to fly to a higher place to survey the terrain, the sound of a woman crying suddenly came from the lake not far away.
"Woo, woo, woo ~"
Now that the sky was already dark, the sudden sound of a woman crying in the Imperial Palace was a little frightening. Song Qingshu had heard too many legends in his previous life about how many vengeful spirits there were in the Imperial Palace and how they would wander out at night. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Suddenly, he came to a realization. With his current cultivation, even if he was really a ghost, what was there to be afraid of? With this thought, Song Qingshu walked in the direction of the sound, thinking that he could take the opportunity to ask for directions.
Turning around the rockery, he found a woman dressed as a palace maid sitting by the lake, hugging her knees and crying. Because her back was facing him, he couldn't see her appearance, but from the back, he could see that she was quite slender and delicate.
"Uh, miss, excuse me …" Song Qingshu was also a little hesitant. He thought that if she was crying so sadly, it would be a little unkind for him to run over and ask for directions.
"Get lost!" Who knew that the palace maid would be even more impolite.
Song Qingshu was instantly dumbfounded. But now that his status was high, he wouldn't get angry over a little palace maid. With a bitter smile, he said, "Were you punished by some concubine or bullied by a eunuch? I was just asking for directions. Miss, do you have to be like this?"
"You're the one who was bullied by a eunuch!" Hearing his words, the palace maid was furious. She turned her head and said angrily, "Which palace's eunuch are you from?"
When the palace maid saw Song Qingshu's appearance clearly, she was so shocked that her mouth opened wide. She rubbed her eyes to make sure that she didn't see wrong, and couldn't help but say angrily, "It's you!"
"Uh ~" Song Qingshu was also very speechless. This outstanding little palace maid in front of him was no other than Ah Ke!
"I heard that you were conferred the title of Imperial Concubine. Why are you dressed as a palace maid?" Song Qingshu was puzzled.
"None of your business!" Ah Ke glared at him fiercely and wiped the tears on her cheeks, "It's all your fault!"
"My fault?" Song Qingshu's heart trembled. Did she know that everything that happened before was all his doing?
"If you didn't trick me from my home to the capital and ignore me, would I have been under house arrest? Later, I wouldn't have been rescued by the people from the Southern Song Dynasty, and my father wouldn't have pushed the boat with the current and married me to a eunuch … what emperor. I'm still living a free and unfettered life as a princess in Shanhai Pass! " Ah Ke recounted Song Qingshu's crimes, and the more she spoke, the sadder she became. "Originally, I had my mother to accompany me, but now my mother was also taken away by the bad guys and was seriously injured by the experts in the palace.
Then, he was severely injured by the experts in the palace. I don't know if he's dead or alive. I went to beg the Emperor to punish that old man, but the Emperor didn't agree … Sob sob, I'm the only one left in this palace … "
"So you wore a palace maid's clothes and secretly came out to cry?" Song Qingshu's heart was full of regret. Speaking of which, Ah Ke's fate had indeed changed because of him. He was also the main culprit of today's events.
"Yes, I knew that many people in the palace wanted to see me make a fool of myself and were waiting to hit me when I was down. I didn't dare to cry in front of others, so I had to secretly change my clothes and run out …" As Ah Ke spoke, she suddenly realized why she had to explain so much to him and instantly shut her mouth.
Seeing her delicate body slightly trembling in the night wind, Song Qingshu sighed, took off his coat, and put it on her. "The palace is too big. If you ran out alone and encountered some bad guys who wanted to harm you, no one would know when something happened."
Ah Ke blinked her watery eyes and looked at him. "Are you talking about yourself when you say bad guys?"
"Uh …" Song Qingshu was speechless. He didn't expect that his impression in her heart had already been so bad.
Ah Ke's fingers pulled on the coat on her body and suddenly said, "I heard that this time you came to propose marriage?"
Song Qingshu nodded with a wry smile.
Ah Ke's face turned cold. "I've seen those two princesses. Indeed, I feel sorry for them. But in terms of appearance, I'm better than them. In terms of status, I'm also a princess. Why did you refuse me when Kangxi proposed marriage?"
For a moment, Song Qingshu was speechless. He couldn't say that it was because her father's reputation was too bad. He could only answer, "The past is the past. What's the point of mentioning it now?"
Thinking that she was now the imperial concubine of the Song Dynasty, Ah Ke's face darkened. "Yes, it's meaningless now."
"I want to ask you to do something for me." Ah Ke suddenly raised her head and said, "After it's done, I can agree to any of your conditions."
