Song Qingshu couldn't help but go crazy. After all, this task was too unbelievable. What was Empress Pei Man trying to do?
"Could it be that the harem is fighting for favor? She saw that the two little palace maids were too beautiful and was worried that the real emperor would see them and fall in love with them, causing her to fall out of favor, so she found someone to break their bodies and make them lose the qualifications to be favored?" This was the first thought that appeared in Song Qingshu's mind, but he quickly rejected it. Everyone knew that Jin Xizong and Empress Pei Man didn't get along. Pei Man had already fallen out of favor. What's more, her actions were too bad. If Jin Xizong found out, she might not even be able to keep her position as empress.
"What are you standing there for? Could it be that you're too excited about being a man? "When Empress Pei Man said the word man, her voice was filled with ridicule.
"I'm indeed very excited. I thought it would be a very difficult task, but I didn't think it would be this easy." Song Qingshu already had an idea. Since he didn't have enough information, he might as well not think about it. He would wait and see.
"Of course it's easy for a man, but for you …" Empress Pei Man's gaze fell between his legs. With a light laugh, she handed an object over. "If you can't do it later, use this to help you."
Song Qingshu took it and looked. Wasn't this the thing that Empress Pei Man had used to solve his problem?
"This woman doesn't think it's dirty. Can this kind of thing be used indiscriminately?" Song Qingshu secretly felt disdain, but since Pei Man didn't find out that he was a fake eunuch, he was happy to continue pretending, so he took the thing.
"It's about time, they should be here soon. Try to speak as little as possible to avoid revealing anything. This consort will look after you from the side." Empress Pei Man was still worried and reminded him.
Song QingShu had just nodded when a commotion came from outside. Soon, two young girls dressed in palace attire leisurely walked in. When they saw Song QingShu sitting in the seat of honor, dressed in a dragon robe, the two girls secretly looked at each other and then knelt down. "These servants greet Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty! Greetings to the Empress. Long live the Empress. "
"Raise your head and let us see." Song Qingshu was indeed very curious. Just who were these two little palace maids that Empress Pei Man would go to such lengths to deal with them?
Empress Pei Man, who was sitting below, glanced at him in surprise. It wasn't that Song Qingshu had revealed any flaws. On the contrary, his acting was too good. That calm and unhurried tone of command was exactly the same as the real Emperor's. No, the real one's aura was a bit lacking.
Empress Pei Man was somewhat glad that she had chosen this little eunuch to carry out the plan, but at the same time, she was secretly vigilant. This little eunuch's ability to imitate was too good. If she had not known beforehand that he was a fake, she might have been deceived by him. Such a person must not be allowed to live …
Hearing Song Qingshu's words, the two little palace maids answered shyly and then raised their heads. "Yes!"
When Song Qingshu heard their delicate and tender voices, his first impression of them was greatly enhanced. When the two women raised their heads, he also clearly saw their appearance.
Two snow-white faces. It wasn't known if it was because of fear or shyness, but there was a faint blush on their cheeks. Adding on their curved eyebrows and small mouths, they were truly bright and beautiful.
The two women were about fourteen or fifteen years old. Their faces were somewhat similar. If there was no accident, they should be a pair of sisters. The two sisters were both beauties. They timidly leaned against each other, adding to each other's beauty. The more one looked at them, the more beautiful they became.
However, what surprised Song Qingshu even more was that he had seen these two young girls before. They had been taken to Jiaotai Hall by the yellow-clothed woman. The two of them had hidden on the beam and seen the two beautiful little palace maids beside Empress Pei Man. Later on, the Prince of Wei had even coveted them.
"Aren't they people from Pei Man's palace?" Song Qingshu's heart trembled. Could it be that Pei Man had deliberately sent them to test me to see if I had the ability to carry out her final plan?
Song Qingshu suddenly understood. After all this time, today was only a preliminary competition. Only by passing would one be qualified to accept the real task.
"What are your names?" Song Qingshu thought that since this was the case, then this great master would accompany them in putting on a good show.
"This servant is Zhao Hu 'er ~"
"This servant is Zhao Yuanyuan ~"
"Yuanyuan, which Yuanyuan?" Song Qingshu thought in his heart. In ancient times, there was Chen Yuanyuan, and in later generations, there was Gao Yuanyuan. By chance, he had seen both of them. They were all peerless beauties. This little girl was called Yuanyuan. Just from the name alone, she had a few more colors.
"Replying to Your Majesty, this servant's name is taken from 'Songs of Chu'. My heart is filled with sorrow, and I don't know what it is." The little palace maid replied.
Hearing this, Song Qingshu felt a headache. It was as if he was listening to a heavenly book. The only thing he could be sure of was that this Yuan was not the Yuan of Gao Yuanyuan. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"What does this sentence mean?" Song Qingshu casually asked. In any case, he was pretending to be Jin Xizong, the Emperor of Jurchen. In addition, he had never been known for his literary talent. Presumably, they were not much different from each other. They definitely wouldn't understand such genteel words, so he didn't worry about exposing himself.
The little palace maid's small mouth opened slightly. Just as she was about to answer, the little palace maid called Zhao Hu 'er next to her quietly tugged at the hem of her dress. Zhao Yuanyuan suddenly came to her senses, and her expression couldn't help but change.
Although the two's movements were secretive, Song Qingshu saw it clearly. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why aren't you speaking?"
"This servant doesn't dare to speak." Zhao Yuanyuan's pretty face became pale. Obviously, she was somewhat annoyed that she had said too much.
"Speak, we will forgive you." Song Qingshu picked up the tea on the table and leisurely took a sip.
Empress Pei Man, who was next to him, was even more surprised. His gestures were completely royal. Just now, when the two sides asked and answered, she actually couldn't get a word in edgewise. Was this person really just a little eunuch?
The little palace maid called Zhao Yuanyuan bit her lips and finally answered in a low voice, "This sentence means' lingering in the heart, reluctant to part, and infinite sorrow, vague and indistinct, not knowing where to stay '."
Before Song QingShu could react, Empress Pei Man was the first to explode in anger. "What a good name! What a good name! What a good name for not knowing where to go! Your mother gave you this name because she missed her homeland and was disrespectful to our Great Jin! Hmph, could it be that you've forgotten the lesson of that Empress Li? "
"Please forgive us, Your Highness, please forgive us!" The two little palace maids' beautiful faces turned pale. They hurriedly kowtowed and begged for forgiveness.
Hearing this, Song Qingshu was speechless. He cursed in his heart, "Motherf * cker, you ancient people always speak in a roundabout way and like to quote classics. If I didn't happen to know this story, wouldn't I be confused?"
When the Southern Tang Dynasty was destroyed by the Northern Song Dynasty, the last emperor Li Yu and Empress Zhou surrendered to the Northern Song Dynasty together. Because Zhao Guangyi, the lecher, had summoned Empress Zhou to the palace to have fun, Li Yu had no choice but to be cuckolded. His depression could not be vented, so he finally wrote the peerless famous poem, "Ask the emperor how much worry can he have, just like a river flowing eastward in spring." But because of this poem, Zhao Guangyi thought that he missed his homeland and was restless, so he immediately gave him the Traction Poison.
And the names of the two little girls in front of him clearly revealed their longing for their homeland and their fear of the current situation. It was very similar to Empress Li in the past!
"Zhao Huan 'er, Zhao Yuanyuan, both of them have the surname Zhao …" Song QingShu's expression changed. He had thought it was a little strange before. The naming style of these two little palace maids and the cultured manners they displayed were definitely not something common palace maids would have. It was only when Pei Man suddenly lost her temper and even used Li Houzhu's misfortune to threaten them that he finally reacted. These two little girls had such outstanding appearances and extraordinary manners of speech. They were probably the princesses of the Song Dynasty in the laundry yard. It was no wonder that when the yellow-robed girl saw them being molested by the Prince of Wei, she had recklessly rushed out.
"If the Northern Song Dynasty still existed, they should still be high and mighty princesses, right?" Looking at the two little palace maids kneeling on the ground trembling, Song Qingshu was filled with emotion. He could not help but marvel at the magic of fate. Zhao Guangyi humiliated Empress Li in that way. How could he expect that a hundred years later, his descendants would also suffer the same fate?
Seeing that Empress Pei Man was still reprimanding the two girls, Song Qingshu coughed and said, "Alright, alright. We have already said that they are innocent."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy." The two little palace maids hurriedly kowtowed in thanks as if they had been pardoned.
Pei Man looked at Song Qingshu as if she had seen a ghost. His tone just now was exactly the same as Xizong's back then. "Hmph, this dog servant is addicted to pretending to be the Emperor. I'll let you be happy for now. Once this empress' plan is completed, I'll slowly take care of you."
"Since His Majesty has spoken, this empress will not pursue this matter any further. As long as the two of you serve His Majesty well, who knows, one day when His Majesty is happy, he might issue an edict to pardon your sisters. They won't have to suffer the hardships of prostitution." Empress Pei Man looked at the two little palace maids as she spoke.
Song Qingshu frowned slightly. From Empress Pei Man's tone, it seemed that she was using the older sisters in the laundry yard to threaten these two little maids so that they would willingly serve the Emperor …
Seeing the two little maids' willing expressions and the determination to sacrifice themselves in their eyes, Song Qingshu couldn't help but smile bitterly. They were truly naive. Even after being sold, they were still counting the money for someone else. They didn't even realize that the person they saw tonight wasn't the Emperor at all.
Empress Pei Man was also very satisfied with the two girls' reactions. Her gaze fell on their clothes and she said, "Someone should have helped you bathe just now, right?"
The two little maids' faces turned slightly red as they replied in unison, "We've already bathed ~"
"That's good. Now take off your outer robes." Empress Pei Man's words almost made Song Qingshu spit out the tea in his mouth.
Song Qingshu had been focused on guessing Empress Pei Man's plan. It was only now that he noticed that the two little palace maids weren't wearing normal palace maid clothes. Instead, they were wearing … … how should he put it, they were wearing hot spring kimonos from his previous life.
