Song Yue gave a faint "hmm".
Dinner
The two sat down facing each other. The food on the table was mostly light and bland. She took a small bite and found it tasteless. The Prince of Guangjia, sitting opposite her, ate with great elegance without changing his expression.
He didn't eat much; he put down his chopsticks after eating half a bowl of rice.
Uncle Fu brought over a bowl of ginseng soup. Prince Guangjia drank half a bowl and then put it down. Perhaps seeing that Song Yue had not yet put down her chopsticks, he picked them up again and ate two bites of bamboo shoots.
Song Yue pretended not to see it.
She knew he had a poor appetite, perhaps because he was used to taking medicine, and he couldn't even touch spicy food.
What use is a prince like that to the throne?
After the meal, Prince Guangjia got up to escort her back, but Song Yue, seeing the wind blowing outside, said, "It's windy, cousin, take a rest."
"It's alright."
"Cousin, I will come to visit you again."
Song Yue insisted on not sending it.
King Guangjia had no choice but to compromise and watch him leave.
After the person left, Uncle Fu said, "This old servant thinks that the Third Miss is straightforward and sincere."
He smiled without saying a word.
...
It was already dark when they returned to the Duke of Jingguo.
Song Zhen was still lingering at the door when he saw her return. He went up to her, and Song Yue smiled at him, "Big brother, I just went to clear my head."
"It's getting late, let's go back and rest."
He didn't ask any further questions.
Song Yue asked, "Brother, is there someone you have a crush on?"
Song Zhen paused, then shook his head. He had been in a coma in the Prince Shen's mansion for several years, and because of his status, he could not go out and show his face. He saw very few people, and his mind was full of his mother and sister. He had no time to think about love and romance.
"Big brother is so boring," Song Yue teased.
Song Zhen forced a bitter smile: "This is all about sentiment; you can't force it."
They escorted Song Yue back home, chatting and laughing with the two siblings. During the journey, Song Zhen mentioned, "This afternoon, General Jiang led a group to the Prince of Guangjia's residence and called off the marriage."
Song Yue frowned. So he had gone to deal with General Jiang that afternoon.
"So how did Miss Jiang make those arrangements?"
Song Zhen's eyes darkened slightly: "It's probably going to be a marriage alliance."
Song Yue was shocked. Could it be that Miss Jiang was also going to follow the same path as in her previous life and be sent to marry a Japanese prince?
As if she had thought of something, she said to Song Zhen, "Brother, I'm tired today, I'll go back and rest first."
After seeing the person off to the entrance of Yuehua Pavilion, Song Zhen felt relieved and turned to leave.
Song Yue lifted her skirt and ran to find Princess Jia Hua; she had decided to confront her!
After dismissing all the servants, she said, "Mother, a few days ago I had a very strange dream. In the dream, I was tortured to death and never saw you, Mother. Also, my brother wasn't the same brother I know. After being taken back to the Duke of Jingguo's mansion, I lost my virginity and was forced to marry Pei Zhao. Pei Zhao then married Song Yao..."
Princess Jia Hua's hands were trembling: "You, what else did you dream about?"
“I dreamt that the Emperor forcibly conscripted troops and insisted on attacking the southern border, which made him sick. The Northern Chu was defeated, the Emperor was dethroned, and the whole country condemned and cursed him. The Emperor died in depression.”
Song Yue stared intently at Princess Jiahua. The mother and daughter exchanged a glance, and finally, Princess Jiahua pulled her into her arms: "Mother, I've had the same dream too. A-Yue, we won't repeat the same mistake."
After the confrontation, the two compared the timeline and the important events that were about to happen.
"In my dream, several years after your death, my soul lingered and I witnessed the development of Northern Chu over the next ten years. General Jiang betrayed Northern Chu, and Miss Jiang went to Japan to become the Crown Princess, but Princess Lian'an never appeared."
After Princess Jiahua finished speaking, she seemed to remember something, and her face turned pale: "After Zhao Zhiyan ascended the throne, the position of empress was vacant for many years, but a cenotaph was built for him, and he often went to worship it. One year, a torrential rain fell in the capital, and many places were flooded. For the first time, Zhao Zhiyan lost his mind and ordered the Embroidered Uniform Guard to repair the cenotaph. Later, it was moved into the imperial mausoleum, and the woman was posthumously honored as empress."
This woman is most likely Princess Lian'an.
Song Yue smiled wryly. It seemed that Zhao Zhiyan cared about Princess Lian'an far more than he had imagined.
