Song Tangxue was also a little troubled; she was afraid there was no room to put all these things.

Xie Qianzhong was so discreet when he delivered it, he definitely didn't want others to know.

"Find some empty rooms and put them in there, so the guards can stand guard nearby on weekdays."

Song Tangxue thought about it and realized that this was probably the only way. She didn't forget to add, "Remember, find some trustworthy people."

She didn't want to cause any more trouble, but Song Tangxue, who wanted to keep a low profile, was going against Song Tangli's wishes.

Song Tangli no longer stays in the house. She has long since finished her postpartum confinement and has recently been quite upset by Consort Xu.

I've been hiding in the courtyard for the past few days, but now I have no choice but to come out.

"Oh, I never expected to see you here, sister. I thought you were still recovering from your illness."

She had just arrived in the garden, intending to relax, when she heard that annoying sound.

Song Tangli looked up and saw that it was indeed Consort Xu walking gracefully from the side.

He cursed her inwardly, but smiled and said it outwardly.

"My sister seems to be in a good mood today."

"Sister is joking. I am very busy these days and cannot compare with your leisure time."

Consort Xu shook her head helplessly, and then sighed.

"I really wish I could be like my sister."

She said those things, of course, to provoke Song Tangli.

Song Tangli could easily hear the obvious sarcasm in the words.

After saying that, she suddenly asked a question.

"Are the affairs of this mansion so difficult to manage? If so, perhaps I should petition the Crown Prince to return these matters to me."

"The Crown Prince dotes on you so much, how could I, your younger sister, not do what he wants? So let me continue to work hard."

After speaking, Consort Xu smiled again, appearing exceptionally calm and confident.

"My younger sister is going to check out the shops outside, so she won't be talking to her older sister here."

After she finished speaking, she didn't even bow, but turned around and left without paying any attention to Song Tangli.

Song Tangli naturally noticed this as well, and her expression turned extremely unpleasant.

"It's true what they say, a tiger fallen into the plains is bullied by dogs. When I was at my peak, weren't they all keeping their tails between their legs?"

Song Tangli spoke these words with extreme resentment, but thankfully, she and Xiaoyao were the only ones present.

It was easy for Xiaoyao to speak, so he said in a low voice.

"I've recently acquired something that, if you take it regularly, will give you a unique fragrance that men find particularly appealing,"

"Could such a thing really exist? I've only ever seen it in books before."

Song Tangli expressed her doubts, but Xiaoyao calmly nodded.

"Once a man falls in love with you, he can't be separated from you no matter what, and he will be deeply attracted to you."

The Crown Prince is so indifferent to the Crown Princess now, he needs this most to compete for favor.

Song Tangli didn't rush to answer; instead, she hesitated, fearing that if this matter were exposed, she would lose her head.

"Nothing ventured, nothing gained. You must think this through carefully and not miss this opportunity."

Seeing the conflicted look on her face, Xiaoyao then spoke directly.

These words seemed to awaken someone from a dream.

Thinking of her recent experiences, the neglect and humiliation she had suffered, Song Tangli's eyes immediately became exceptionally firm.

"Then I'll do as you say, but you must remember to do it discreetly and not let anyone find out."

After saying that, Song Tangli took a deep breath, and seemed to become uneasy as well.

Of course she was nervous. She had just made another plan, and in such a rush, how could she not be afraid?

Li Zhaoxian was unaware that a conspiracy was slowly unfolding against him.

He was regretting this Song

Song Tangxue stopped paying attention to the matter and locked herself in the Marquis's mansion for the next few days, not going anywhere.

"Your dowry embroidery is almost finished, why don't we go out for a walk again?"

That evening, Haitang finished tidying up the embroidery she had completed and made a suggestion with a smile.

Song Tangxue thought of her previous experience. Although she was initially very happy, there were just too many people along the way.

The women were all drawn to Xie Qianzhong, and even though she was wearing a veil, she still attracted a lot of attention.

In life, one would naturally not dare to be so foolish as to do such a thing.

But outside, it's definitely not like that.

"Forget it, the wedding is just around the corner, it's not good to go out and wander around anymore."

Song Tangxue seemed to be even more looking forward to this matter. After speaking, she looked at Haitang.

"You're not getting any younger, it's time to find you a husband."

Haitang was all smiles, but when the topic suddenly turned to her, she immediately became serious.

"Miss, please don't even think about that! I wouldn't want to! Don't tease me!"

Song Tangxue never expected that Haitang would respond so strongly to her casual remark.

She understood; it seemed she had touched a nerve with Haitang.

"Alright, I'll give you two more years of freedom, but it can't be too long,"

That was the only answer Song Tangxue could give, but after she finished speaking, her mother came over again.

Every time she comes lately, it ends badly, but there are some things she can't leave without informing me.

"Greetings, Mother," Song Tangxue greeted calmly.

Song's mother also appeared quite calm. After entering, she sat down to the side before looking at Song Tangxue.

"You probably already know what's going on at home. From now on, you must treat this younger brother as your own!"

"Mm," Song Tangxue replied calmly.

She seemed more like she was just going through the motions, simply to avoid arguing with Song's mother.

Song's mother naturally saw this as well, but she continued her sermon.

"I've come here not so you could give me a perfunctory answer. There's a banquet at the palace tomorrow, and you'll be coming with me."

When Song's mother revealed her purpose for the day, Song Tangxue did not immediately agree, but instead asked a question.

"What do you do?"

"This was hosted by Her Majesty the Empress, and it is said that all the women in the capital were invited."

Song's mother immediately answered, and then looked at her again.

“I know you don’t want to go, but you still carry the name of the Song family, so please don’t affect your family.”

The implication was that Song Tangxue had no choice but to go, and she had to behave herself.

Haitang always felt that this banquet might be a trap.

She glanced at Song Tangxue with a hint of worry, then mustered her courage and quickly spoke.

"Miss is currently preparing her dowry, and there are still many things that haven't been done yet, so I'm afraid she won't have that much time."

"It won't make a difference if it's a little longer. I'll come find you tomorrow and we can set off together."

Song's mother refused without hesitation, and after finishing her statement, she finalized the matter and left calmly, as if she were in complete control.
