Ren Yingying raised her head to look at him in astonishment, her eyes filled with confusion. She had not expected him to be so magnanimous. In a moment, her impression of him improved greatly. Recalling the bits and pieces of their interactions, she could not help but begin to wonder if she had been too harsh on him.
After all, her parents had arranged for her to be his wife in name. In the end, not long ago, he had set up an engagement, and now he had even come to assassinate him.
But when she thought of how he had tried to separate her and brother Chong, Ren Yingying was instantly at a loss.
"There is no need to worry about me. I know that you must have many things to say to Linghu Chong right now. Go, go," Song Qingshu said using Secret Sound Transmission.
Ren Yingying gave him a deep look, but in the end, she stood up and left. She truly did have many things to say to Linghu Chong. For example, she had agreed to marry Song Qingshu because her father had threatened her with his life. She had married Song Qingshu in an attempt to get rid of the engagement, but by a freak combination of factors …
Watching Ren Yingying's departing figure, Song Qingshu inwardly mocked himself. He was becoming more and more black-bellied. However, heaven and earth were heartless and regarded all living things as straw dogs. He had never believed in the saying that good would be rewarded and evil would be repaid with evil. Of course, this saying was more in line with objective laws. That was because the majority of people still had good hearts. Those who did evil would break the rules and naturally suffer backlash from the rules. However, this did not mean that good would be rewarded and evil would be repaid with evil.
As a result, he did not feel the slightest psychological burden when it was appropriate to use some black-bellied tricks.
He was looking for an opportunity to sneak out and follow behind Ren Yingying. Although he had made various arrangements, the plans of man were no match for the plans of heaven. If the two of them were to rekindle their old feelings, he did not want to wear the hat of forgiveness.
But at this moment, Han Xingzhou pulled him aside and said, "Qingshu, big brother wishes you double happiness in advance."
"Double happiness?" For a moment, Song Qingshu could not react.
Han Xingzhou laughed heartily. "The first happiness is naturally the conferment of the title of Prince of Qi. The second happiness is your marriage with the two Empress Concubines."
Thinking of Zhao Hu 'er and Zhao Yuanyuan in the Jin Kingdom's palace, Song Qingshu could not help but feel a trace of tenderness in his heart.
Jia Shidao smiled and said, "Too many things have happened in Jing recently. It's good to have such a happy event." Everyone chimed in, causing Huang Rong to frown slightly. She thought that Miss Ren had just appeared as Song Qingshu's wife, but these people's words had not taken her into consideration at all. It was clear that although Miss Ren had a high status in the martial arts world, in the eyes of these big shots in the imperial court, she was still just a woman from the martial arts world … When she thought of her own identity, Huang Rong could not help but sympathize with her.
Song Qingshu secretly sneered. Because of Yue Fei's case, the prestige of the imperial court had taken a great hit. At first, they were denouncing Qin Hui, Moqi Chen, Zhang Jun, and the others, but the denouncing became more and more intense. It looked like the spear was about to be pointed at Zhao Gou. Zhao Gou was smart enough to immediately confer the title of Prince of Qi, and then announce the marriage of the Empress Concubines, all to divert the public's attention. From the current effect, Zhao Gou had obviously achieved his goal.
But he also understood that with Zhao Gou and the Southern Song Dynasty's cunning officials, there was no way they would let him marry the princess so easily.
As expected, Han Xingzhou quickly spoke again, "Qingshu, you also know that the two Empress Concubines have suffered a lot in the Jin Kingdom. Their father and brothers are also suffering. It is not very appropriate for them to get married now … Coincidentally, we are planning to conquer the Jin Kingdom in the north. Why don't we wait until we conquer the Jin Kingdom and give the two Empress Concubines the best present. At that time, we can also shut the mouths of the public. After all, Qingshu, you already have a wife. Marrying two Princesses at the same time is unprecedented."
Song Qingshu secretly sneered. The Southern Song Dynasty was completely using the Empress Concubines as a bargaining chip, using this to blackmail him into risking his life for the Southern Song Dynasty in the upcoming northern expedition. But he was not stupid. Why would he just go and be their cannon fodder?
But when he thought of the fact that the Jin Kingdom was now under his control, Song Qingshu felt that it was somewhat funny. If these people knew that he was the ruler of the Jin Kingdom, would their jaws drop?
"Very well." Even though he was laughing coldly in his heart, Song Qingshu still agreed on the surface. After all, the other party's reason was very dignified. Especially when he already had a wife at home, marrying the Empress Concubine was indeed inappropriate.
Seeing him agree so readily, the Prime Ministers and officials all let out a sigh of relief. The atmosphere became relaxed and cheerful again.
After Linghu Chong left the banquet, he staggered and staggered on the street. Just now, he was drowning his sorrows in alcohol. He didn't know how much wine he had drunk, but now that he was tipsy, he finally couldn't hold on any longer. He tripped over a stone and couldn't maintain his balance any longer, falling to the ground. This fall caused his stomach to churn endlessly, and he finally couldn't help but vomit.
Just as he was feeling unwell, he suddenly heard a surprised voice. "Eldest Senior Brother, is that you?"
Linghu Chong's body trembled. This familiar voice had been on his mind day and night. He had even dreamt of the happy times when he was on Mount Hua. Could it be that she would appear after he got drunk? Should he get drunk a few more times in the future?
Thinking it was just an illusion, Linghu Chong didn't answer. He continued to spit out the acid in discomfort. Suddenly, a soft hand gently patted his back. "Eldest Senior Brother, why did you drink so much?"
This time, the voice was even more real, and there was also a pair of gentle hands. Linghu Chong raised his head in disbelief. A beautiful, snow-white face appeared in front of him. Who else could it be but the Junior Sister that he had been yearning for day and night?
"Eldest Senior Brother ~" Yue Lingshan called out to him again. Her eyes were full of pity and heartache.
Linghu Chong suddenly pushed her away and said in a dry voice, "Miss, you have mistaken me for someone else." He was now reeking of alcohol, and there was a lot of filth on his body from vomiting. He did not want his beloved Junior Sister to see him in such a sorry state, so he did not dare to acknowledge her.
"How could I have mistaken you for someone else?" Yue Lingshan sighed faintly. "In fact, when I saw your sword technique at the banquet, I had already recognized it, but I was not too sure until someone told me …" Obviously, she did not want to explain more about this. She immediately changed the topic. "Eldest Senior Brother, did you drink so much because of Miss Ren?"
Linghu Chong smiled bitterly. In his mind, the scene of Junior Sister and Lin Pingzhi's intimacy kept appearing. He thought to himself, "I drank so much because of you."
Feeling more and more annoyed, Linghu Chong struggled to stand up and tried to walk forward. However, at this time, he was already a mess and could not walk straight at all. He swayed as if he would fall at any time.
"Eldest Senior Brother, be careful." Yue Lingshan was worried that he would fall, so she quickly ran up to support him. Her whole body was under his armpit, and her other hand was around his waist. Although the posture was a little intimate, she did not feel that it was inappropriate. After all, the two of them had grown up together since they were young. She did not know how many times they behaved like this. In her heart, Linghu Chong was no different from her own brother.
Feeling the gentleness in Junior Sister's voice, especially when the two of them were so close, and the faint fragrance of the young girl entered his nose. Although Linghu Chong's rationality told him that the one he loved the most was Yingying, his body's reaction could not be faked. His heart was thumping, and when he felt Yue Lingshan's soft body, he immediately felt a dizzying happiness.
Because he could not bear to let go of this feeling, Linghu Chong did not refuse and let her support him. The two of them walked on the street, leaning against each other. Under the illumination of the candles on both sides, their shadows stretched out like an intimate couple.
After Ren Yingying left the residence, she jogged in the direction that Linghu Chong had left. She could vaguely see his figure and was about to call out to him in excitement when she saw Yue Lingshan beside him.
She swallowed the words' Brother Chong 'that were at the tip of her tongue. Seeing the two of them tightly hugging each other, Ren Yingying's eyes gradually welled up with tears.
She knew very well that Linghu Chong liked Yue Lingshan. Back in Luoyang's Green Bamboo Alley, Linghu Chong had mistaken her for his mother-in-law and had poured out his admiration for his junior sister in full detail. It was also because of this that she became curious about this man, which eventually developed into love.
It was precisely because she understood this feeling that Ren Yingying had always been very magnanimous in front of Linghu Chong. She respected this pure love and did not act out of jealousy like those foolish women. It was precisely because of this that she gradually won Linghu Chong's heart. At the same time, she captured the hearts of a large number of readers, becoming the ideal wife in countless people's hearts.
But no matter how magnanimous Ren Yingying was, she would not go so far as to have no bottom line. Seeing the two of them so intimately hugging each other, she finally found it somewhat unbearable. In that instant, she felt that all her previous efforts had lost all meaning.
Could it be that the matter between me and Song Qingshu had completely broken Brother Chong's heart, causing him to return to Junior Sister's side? Ren Yingying had always been intelligent and quickly thought of this possibility. But she soon shook her head. Even if this was true, it was just an incentive. Brother Chong still loved his junior sister the most. She had previously fantasized that she might be able to replace Miss Yue's position, but now it seemed that it was just wishful thinking.
Especially with her current status and her engagement to Song Qingshu …
Ren Yingying deeply glanced at Linghu Chong's back and sighed in disappointment. She turned to leave, intending to completely end this love affair. But she had only taken a few steps when she heard the sound of weapons clashing behind her, mixed with the tender shouts of a young woman.
Ren Yingying subconsciously turned her head and discovered that a group of black-clothed men were surrounding Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan. Although the black-clothed men were skilled in martial arts, Linghu Chong's cultivation should not have been much of a threat. But Linghu Chong was currently completely drunk and found it difficult to even walk, much less practice martial arts.
