The meaning of the words was very normal, but the voice made one's heart beat faster and face flush. It really could be called seductive — seductive to the bone.
Song QingShu was secretly amazed. Could it be that this Empress knew the art of seduction? No wonder she was favored by three thousand people. At the same time, what made him feel strange was that this voice sounded somewhat familiar, but after thinking about it carefully, he could not remember whose voice it was.
He looked up curiously and saw a woman with a beautiful figure lying on her side on a chair behind layers of gauze curtains. The exaggerated and graceful line between her waist and buttocks was enough to make any man go crazy.
"It's a pity I can't see her face." Song QingShu was filled with regret. Although his cultivation was profound, he did not know how to see through things. If there was only a thin layer of gauze, he might be able to see clearly, but these layers of curtains were enough to block his vision.
"I heard you are a new musician in the palace?" After Palace Attendant Shan left, the empress spoke again.
Song Qingshu's heart jumped when he heard this. This voice was too seductive. She didn't seem like a motherly empress, but a courtesan of the Qinhuai River.
"Your Highness, I just entered the palace two days ago." Song Qingshu's heart suddenly shook. He was used to seeing great beauties. Why was he so aroused without even seeing the other person? His nose wrinkled. Smelling the sweetness in the air, he couldn't help but think.
When he had entered the room, he had felt that the fragrance in the air was too sweet. Now that he thought about it carefully, he feared that there was a certain aphrodisiac in the fragrance. While his cultivation was high and he was almost immune to all poisons, this aphrodisiac was not poison. It only aroused some thoughts in people's hearts. So even he couldn't help but fall for it.
"This empress is becoming more and more mysterious." Song Qingshu's curiosity about her grew.
"Ben gong heard that you are good at the guqin. Then play a song here." The empress' lazy but flirtatious voice came again from behind the gauze curtains.
Song QingShu's thoughts raced. From the empress's words, someone must have secretly recommended him to her. This person clearly didn't have good intentions. If he wasn't mistaken, it should be Yelu Yixin's people.
It seemed that they really planned to let Zhao Weiyi hook up with the Empress. Where did they get their confidence from? Although Song QingShu boasted of his charm, he was not so arrogant as to think that he could conquer the Empress, who was the mother of the world, with his ordinary identity as a zither player. Moreover, he would not really do such a thing for Yelu Yixin.
But now was not the time for a showdown. He still had to deal with what needed to be dealt with. Now that the Empress asked him to play the guqin, he could not just turn around and leave.
Song QingShu took a look and found that a zither had been prepared next to him. He sat down and began to think about what to play for her. However, he had learned it in the crash course, so it was really difficult for him to be as skillful as a real master. Thus, he could only play the song that he was most familiar with.
After playing, Song Qingshu blushed a little. He felt that he didn't play very well this time. At most, he could only be considered average. The Empress was probably going to be disappointed. That was fine, but the main problem was how to explain it to Yelu Yixin.
Unexpectedly, the empress did not show any disappointment. Instead, she asked, "I heard you are from Jiangnan?"
"Huh?" Song Qingshu was surprised. The Empress clearly didn't really care about things like guqin skills. No wonder Yelu Yixin had asked Shen Bijun to teach him the customs of the south. It seemed that he had prepared it to deal with the Empress.
"I am indeed from Jiangnan." Song Qingshu was also curious. Why was she, the Empress of Liao, so interested in the news of Jiangnan?
"What major events have happened in Jiangnan recently? Tell me." The Empress moved her body, clearly adjusting her posture.
Song Qingshu was surprised. He didn't expect that she wouldn't ask him about the customs of the south. It seemed that all of Yelu Yixin's previous preparations had been in vain. However, this wasn't a problem for him because he had left Jiangnan not long ago.
In the end, Wu Tiande of the Deshun Wu clan defeated Murong Fu of Gusu's Murong clan and obtained the position. Another major event was the Crown Princess of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Eldest Young Lady of the Shen clan. She was kidnapped and her whereabouts are unknown. In addition, the Shen clan of Shanyin was exterminated in one night … … "Song Qingshu thought about the major events that had happened not long ago and picked out the most dramatic events. He thought that the Empress, who was deep in the palace, would be curious about these events. Of course, he instinctively skipped over his own matters.
Who knew that after he finished speaking, the Empress would not comment. After a long time, she finally opened her mouth and said, "I heard that some time ago, the Golden Snake King Song QingShu also arrived in Jiangnan and was conferred the title of Prince of Qi?"
Not expecting that she would take the initiative to inquire about his affairs, Song Qingshu was immediately dumbfounded. No matter how narcissistic he was, he wouldn't be narcissistic enough to think that he could use his title to cause ripples in the Empress' heart. He truly didn't understand what the other party's intentions were.
"Song Qingshu was indeed conferred the title of Prince of Qi because he rescued several dozen Song princesses from the Jin and facilitated the return of Sichuan by the Mongols, so … …"
Before he could finish, the Empress interrupted him and asked, "I heard that he also had a marriage alliance with two of the princesses he rescued?"
Song Qingshu was startled, but he still answered truthfully, "That's right, he did have a marriage agreement with Princess Cheng De and Princess Roufu of the Southern Song Dynasty."
The Empress sneered, "Humph, the two princesses, the Southern Emperor is quite willing to part with them."
Song Qingshu smiled awkwardly. He couldn't figure out the other party's intentions, so he didn't know how to answer.
The Empress asked again, "Are Princess Cheng De and Princess Roufu beautiful?"
"They are quite beautiful," Song Qingshu was just about to answer, but he suddenly remembered Zhao Weiyi's identity and hurriedly changed his words. "The two princesses are high and mighty. I'm just a commoner, how can I see the two princesses' true faces?"
"What do you mean by high and mighty? Aren't you just from the laundry yard?" The Empress snorted, and her tone was obviously a little indignant.
"Why does the Empress seem to be jealous?" Song Qingshu quickly put this thought out of his mind. It was really too ridiculous.
At this moment, the eunuch's sharp voice suddenly sounded from afar, "The Emperor has arrived." Song Qingshu was stunned. He didn't want to meet Yelu Hongji at this time. After all, the higher-ups were temperamental. Now that Zhao Weiyi's status was low, if he were to be pushed down and beheaded by Yelu Hongji, he would have no choice but to expose his identity.
"Your Highness, I'll take my leave first," Song Qingshu said hurriedly.
The Empress, who was behind the gauze curtain, suddenly sat up straight. Her voice was less lazy and more anxious than before. "It's too late, quickly hide in the room."
"What?" Song Qingshu couldn't believe his ears. If he went out and met the Emperor now, he would at most be reprimanded. If he was discovered hiding in the Empress's bedroom, it would really be like yellow mud falling on his crotch. It would really be like sh * t even if it wasn't.
Although he was a eunuch on the surface, there was no lack of palace maids and even concubines in the palace who were lonely and hung out with eunuchs. If he was treated as a food target by Yelu Hongji, it would be over. Moreover, he wasn't a real eunuch.
"Why are you in a daze?" At this time, there was a sudden fragrance. It turned out that the Empress had already quickly walked out from behind the gauze curtain. She pulled his hand and walked inside.
