In ten days, it will be their big day. Song Tangxue felt like she was in a different world.

Xie Qianzhong was busy with court affairs, seemingly trying to finish them ahead of schedule so he could have a few more days of rest after the wedding.

Song Tangli has been keeping a low profile lately, which makes her mother even happier.

She even had no time to pay attention to Song Tangxue, running to the Crown Prince's residence several times a day.

The next day at noon, Haitang went to the main kitchen to get some pastries, but when she returned, she didn't look too good.

"What's wrong? Who upset you again?"

Upon seeing this, Song Tangxue immediately asked a question. Haitang angrily put the food box aside before coldly snorting and speaking.

"They've actually become quite arrogant now, sending all the best stuff to the Crown Prince's residence. I saw some nice new pastries earlier and wanted to bring you a plate, but they refused!"

As Haitang spoke these words, her expression grew even more unpleasant.

It's a huge joke that Song Tangxue, with her current status, is still being treated so coldly.

Lianzhi wasn't surprised and reassured Haitang.

"She's carrying twins. Not to mention the Song family, even the royal family sends her gifts every day like a flowing stream. It's not worth getting angry over this."

Haitang knew this too, but she just couldn't stand it.

"It's just a stutter, I never expected it to be so disgusting."

"Alright, it's really not worth it for this. If you don't have it, then don't eat it."

Song Tangxue was unusually calm and composed. After speaking, she stood up and said, "Come with me for a walk."

She's been spending her days embroidering her dowry in her room lately, and today she can finally take a break and wants to go to the garden to relax.

Although Haitang was still angry, she composed herself, nodded, and followed.

Even in early autumn, the garden still boasts many vibrant flowers, all vying to bloom.

Seeing this, Haitang suddenly gave an example: "The Crown Princess is just like these flowers."

She wasn't praising Song Tangli's beauty; she was giving an example of her ambition.

Song Tangxue suddenly stopped and looked at Haitang.

"I've noticed you've been picking on her lately. Some things are better left unattended; don't get upset over them."

"She seems to be keeping a very low profile now, but whenever she returns to the Song family, she always causes a great disturbance throughout the entire household."

Haitang finally expressed her dissatisfaction again, muttering something.

After listening, Song Tangxue immediately spoke.

"You can stay here for a few more days, so there's no need to worry about it. If you continue to obsess over things here, don't blame me for getting angry with you."

Song Tangxue could only issue a warning. Since reasoning with her had failed, this was the only way to get Haitang to back down.

Upon hearing this, Haitang naturally dared not say anything more.

"Yes, since you have said so, then this servant will obey."

She didn't seem to be just going through the motions; she had genuinely restrained herself, which made Song Tangxue somewhat satisfied.

After strolling around outside for a while, Empress Cheng's reward arrived.

"This servant greets Your Highness. Today, I have been specially ordered by the Empress to bring you some dowry. Congratulations on your joyous occasion!"

The most favored eunuch by Empress Cheng's side appeared here and said with a smile.

Song Tangxue was not surprised at all; the Empress would not miss any opportunity to contact her now.

These things are clearly a large-scale project.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Please convey my thanks to Your Majesty on my behalf."

Song Tangxue spoke, not forgetting to bow.

After exchanging pleasantries, the eunuch made an excuse and left.

Lianzhi felt a headache coming on just looking at all these things.

"The yard next door is already full, and now even more have arrived."

Haitang felt this was not a good thing; how could the Empress's things be so easy to keep?

She didn't speak, but instead looked at Song Tangxue with some concern.

Song Tangxue only said, "Record all of these things properly, without any errors."

As they were speaking, a woman dressed as a maid from the Crown Prince's residence appeared beside them.

"Greetings, Princess. This servant is here on the orders of the Madam and the Crown Princess to invite you over for a chat."

Those around him were quite surprised by these words.

This is hardly something that Song's mother and Song Tangli would do; going there would definitely be a trap.

Song Tangxue did not refuse, but Haitang, who was standing next to her, took two steps forward and looked at the maid.

"I'm sorry, Princess, you have important business to attend to today and need to leave immediately."

"Hmm, I'm busy today." Song Tangxue also declined decisively, and after saying that, she turned around and walked inside, saying as she did so.

"Go check if the groom has properly harnessed the cart. Why is it taking so long?"

The maid seemed to know the outcome as well. After hearing the story, she didn't even utter a word of pleading before leaving.

Song's mother carefully selected fruit for Song Tangli, and the joy on her face was truly undisguised.

"Now that you have these two children to rely on, no matter how much favor you receive in the future, you will at least have a strong foundation."

Song Tangli had a faint smile on her face, and after listening, she only said...

"I owe all of this to my mother. If it weren't for you, I would never be where I am today."

As she finished speaking, her expression became extremely serious, but her tone was mostly one of gratitude.

"Thanks to my mother's unwavering support and strong backing, I feel like I have a family."

Upon hearing this answer, Song's mother was naturally very satisfied, but she smiled and said directly.

"You're such a good child, always so well-behaved and sensible, it's hard not to love you."

As she spoke, Madam Song suddenly asked in a low voice, "Where has His Highness the Crown Prince been spending the night recently?"

Song Tangli is definitely not capable of serving now, and Li Zhaoxian was like that before. Song's mother is worried that someone will take advantage of the situation and steal Song Tangli's favor.

But Song Tangli smiled gently and spoke with a hint of shyness.

“His Highness has been spending every day with me lately, and he doesn’t want to go anywhere else.”

Upon hearing this, Song's mother was extremely surprised, never expecting it to be like this.

She even said, somewhat incredulously, "Don't lie to Mother, are these words really true?"

"Mother, I would never lie to you, so please don't worry."

In the end, Song Tangli said with a hint of gratitude, "At that time, Father sent that cousin away without saying a word, which saved me some trouble. It was all for my own good, and I know that."

“You’ve always been grateful, and I know that all too well.”

Hearing this answer, Song's mother was extremely satisfied and couldn't help but think to herself that she was quite lucky.

Song Tangxue is now in a high position, and although they can't curry favor with her, thankfully Song Tangli hasn't disappointed them.

Now, her belly is even more cooperative, she's pregnant with twins.

As the two were talking, the maid who had gone to inform them earlier returned.

Her eyes were filled with tears, and as soon as she entered, she knelt down on the ground.

"It is my incompetence that I could not invite the princess."
