In her previous life, Song Tangxue, the true daughter of the Right Minister, was swapped at birth. When she was finally found, her entire family despised her.
She finally managed to reclaim h...
After she finished speaking, she realized that Song Tangxue looked so nonchalant that she had been acting a bit too deliberately.
When Song's mother realized this, she felt embarrassed, but she tried her best to make amends.
"Alright, you can walk around here for now. If you find anything wrong, let me know."
As Song's mother spoke, she sat down on the wooden chair next to her, and Song Tangxue nodded: "Yes."
Song Tangxue truly did not want to say more to her mother, otherwise she would never have done so.
Meanwhile, Song's mother was also sitting there, watching Song Tangxue look around, and she couldn't help but ponder.
That morning, Xie Qianzhong did something that caused a sensation in the imperial court.
Just as the court session was about to end, Xie Qianzhong suddenly stepped forward and solemnly addressed the Emperor.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for granting my request to marry Miss Song."
These words caused an uproar in the audience.
Song's father, in particular, was extremely surprised.
He was there yesterday, so he naturally knows what happened.
But Xie Qianzhong's words now are clearly a great honor for Song Tangxue.
The emperor's bestowal of a marriage and the emperor's personal request for a wife are two completely different concepts.
The Emperor was quite surprised, not expecting Xie Qianzhong to say such a thing, but after thinking for a moment, he said...
"My dear minister, you have devoted yourself to the court, and I should grant your wish. You may live a good life with Princess Yong'an from now on."
This incident has sparked even more discussion among outsiders.
In an instant, everyone in the court knew that Xie Qianzhong, who held immense power, actually liked Song Tangxue.
Song Tangxue's bestowal of the title of Princess Yong'an yesterday has already aroused jealousy among many people. Now, Xie Qianzhong has publicly expressed his feelings for her, putting her in the eye of the storm for the foreseeable future.
Song Tangxue was unaware of these things. After taking a look around Xianyu Pavilion, she realized that the decoration here was much better than Song Tangli's courtyard.
"It seems that Madam has really gone to great lengths this time to win Miss's favor."
Even Lian Zhi couldn't help but express her feelings, while Song Tangli remained remarkably calm.
She never treated me like this before, but now that she has gained glory, she treats me like this. Isn't this just her trying to curry favor with me?
After Lianzhi finished speaking, she thought of something else.
"However, I'm afraid it might not be a good thing for us. It could attract some people's jealousy and resentment, making things even more troublesome."
Song Tangli was a vicious and petty person.
Her favorite thing to do used to be to put down Song Tangxue and compare her to others at every turn.
The current state of Song's parents will make Song Tangli feel dissatisfied.
"Don't worry about her for now, but remember to let us know immediately if anything happens."
Song Tangxue didn't bother with Song Tangli, but she knew that Song Tangli would definitely not treat her honestly.
Sure enough, no sooner had she finished speaking than Song's mother suddenly came over, and Lianzhi was nodding.
"The Crown Princess is back. Let's hurry over and see her. Perhaps she's here to congratulate you on this joyous occasion."
Song's mother didn't seem particularly happy; she just appeared somewhat anxious.
Song Tangli just returned to her parents' home yesterday, and she's here again today. It must be because of Song Tangxue, who's currently in the limelight.
As soon as Song Tangxue finished listening, she answered without hesitation.
"Mother, the Left Prime Minister will be arriving soon, and I need to go back to prepare. I'm afraid I won't be able to go with you."
She has now found a perfect excuse, and of course Song's mother dares not offend Xie Qianzhong.
Even though she knew that Song Tangxue was just making excuses to appease her, Song's mother could only smile and reply, "Yes, then you should hurry over there. Don't let anything go wrong on the first visit of the Prime Minister."
After Song's mother finished speaking, Song Tangxue suddenly had an idea and became slightly conflicted.
"That's what I was thinking too. I wanted my mother to give me some advice, but now the Crown Princess has returned..."
After she finished speaking, she frowned, as if she was a little embarrassed to ask Song's mother to come with her.
Song's mother could hardly believe it when she heard this. Song Tangxue had actually said so much to her in one go, especially since she needed her help.
She always makes her own decisions, no matter what, and rarely does this.
But today, she actually took the initiative to speak up. Although it was obvious that she wanted to win her mother's favor and make Song Tangli jealous, this was unprecedented for Song Tangxue.
“You’re right. You really don’t understand these things either. Why don’t I go over and help you keep an eye on things?”
Madam Song readily agreed, but the maidservant beside her immediately hesitated: "Madam, we shouldn't leave the Crown Princess waiting there in vain."
Song Tangli is now the Crown Princess, and among the entire royal family, apart from Empress Cheng, she holds the most prestigious position.
Such a distinguished person should not be treated poorly when visiting her parents' home, otherwise it may cause a lot of trouble.
With Song Tangxue currently enjoying great popularity, it would be unreasonable for them to treat Song Tangli so poorly.
Upon hearing this, Song's mother hesitated slightly, unsure how to respond.
Song Tangxue smiled calmly and quickly said.
“That makes sense. I’ll go now. Mother, go keep her company.”
After speaking, Song Tangxue bowed and then walked gracefully outside.
Looking at that carefree figure as he walked away, Song's mother felt conflicted again.
She didn't know how to answer for a moment, but after hesitating for a while, she could only say...
"Go and tell her that I have something important to do and I'll be there shortly."
After finishing her sentence, Song's mother followed them away.
Song Tangxue was quickly caught up, and as soon as her mother arrived, she spoke directly.
“I will go with you.”
Song's mother knew that Song Tangxue was deliberately trying to sow discord, but this time she willingly fell into the trap.
Even Lian Zhi was quite surprised, never expecting that Song's mother would undergo such a significant change.
As a servant, she naturally dared not say anything more, and then she saw Song Tangxue nod and say something.
"good."
Xie Qianzhong said he would arrive at noon, but they naturally had to prepare in advance.
The servants in the front yard were already busily cleaning, while the steward was even busier.
When Song's mother came over and took a look, she nodded in satisfaction.
"Everything's fine here. Now let's go to the kitchen and see how the dishes are."
The servants she personally assigned yesterday were all those whom Madam Song deemed reliable and efficient.
Song's mother naturally attached great importance to Xie Qianzhong's personal visit this time.
When the housekeeper saw Song's mother coming over, he quickly stepped forward and said something.
"Since this morning, our household has received congratulatory gifts from many families, all wishing Miss a happy occasion!"
The housekeeper couldn't stop smiling as he said these words: "Some even sent double gifts, saying that our family is experiencing double happiness!"
Song Tangxue had never seen these people who associated with the Song family before.
As she was thinking, she saw several servants nearby storing new gifts.
