Chapter 157 Sneaking into the Palace
"Prince, what do you think?" The Queen changed the subject and asked.
The prince smiled and said, "Yingsi's zither is very good."
This sentence almost made Song Rouxi collapse on the spot, and the smile on her face was uglier than crying.
The calmer, more dignified, and more talented Huan Yingsi was, the more uncomfortable she felt. Her heart felt like it was being boiled in boiling water, infuriating. The prince even praised her in front of her, which made her feel even more uncomfortable.
The queen saw this scene and smiled.
"Your sister is going to suffer today." Le Yi curled her lips and smiled, her eyes showing no sign of gloating.
I didn't expect that such a hateful person would be humiliated in front of others like this.
It's really satisfying.
Such a scene had never appeared in the previous life. Song Rouxi was high and mighty. All the good things and good things fell on her. The prince's steadfast love, warm protection, and endless pampering were all the capital for her survival.
She remembered that Song Rouxi had mentioned it proudly in the Song family.
The Queen praised other girls from noble families for their manners, and used this to express her contempt for Song Rouxi. The Prince did not hesitate to have a falling out with the Queen on the spot and left with Song Rouxi.
He even said that if he could not marry Song Rouxi, he would never marry.
It was his dominance that forced the queen to submit step by step and have no choice but to acknowledge Song Rouxi.
But what about the prince now?
Song Ci laughed sarcastically.
A relationship that hasn't weathered storms is never strong enough. Their problems have only just begun.
Halfway through the banquet, Song Rouxi couldn't help but leave the table, her face pale and ugly. The Queen glanced at her and let her go. She didn't stop her.
The prince stood up, somewhat hesitantly.
"Sit down. It's not nice to leave the party at will."
The queen's casual words shattered the prince's little bit of pity.
He sat down hesitantly, glancing outside the hall, as if looking for Song Rouxi.
Song Rouxi did not come back until the banquet was almost over.
The prince finally couldn't sit still anymore and stood up to leave. The queen looked unhappy. Huan Yingsi suddenly said, "The prince has something to do. Isn't it enough for your niece and so many young ladies to accompany your aunt?"
The queen was coaxed into losing her temper and sighed.
The prince was very grateful for Huan Yingsi's rescue. The two looked at each other, and he nodded. He took the opportunity to slip out and found Song Rouxi crying in a garden not far away.
"Rou Xi..."
Song Rouxi, who had been waiting for the prince to come, felt her feet numb from standing. She did not look back, but just lowered her head and sobbed.
"Rouxi, stop crying."
He walked up to Song Rouxi, pinched her chin with his fingers, and forced Song Rouxi to look up and look at him.
"Brother Crown Prince, the Queen...doesn't she like me?"
Facing Song Rouxi's questioning, the prince patiently coaxed her, "My mother is indeed unhappy, but I said, I like you, and this will not change."
She recalled the prince praising Huan Yingsi and felt unhappy. "The queen seemed to like that young lady very much."
"The Queen Mother has always wanted her to be the Crown Princess."
"What about you? Do you like her too?"
Being repeatedly questioned, the prince became impatient and said, "She and I just grew up together and I treat her as my sister."
"I don't like her. Can you stay away from her in the future..."
Thinking of Huan Yingsi's rescue and understanding just now, the prince frowned, "She is a very good person. When you get to know her in the future, you will know that she is not that kind of person."
"That kind of person? If she doesn't like you, why would she come here?" Song Rouxi's melancholy mood not only did not ease, but the prince even praised the other person as a good person in front of her. She was completely unable to hold it back.
"Why do you think so! She is the Queen Mother's niece, why can't she come?"
Song Rouxi sneered, "She clearly knows what the Queen is thinking, yet she still wants to get close to you and come here, which means she also wants to be the Crown Princess."
"Rouxi, I find that you have changed."
After a long silence, the prince uttered these words in a sullen tone.
Changed?
Song Rouxi was shocked. How had she changed? The prince used to do whatever he wanted with her. If she said she didn't like someone, he would vent his anger on her. But why was he different when he dealt with Huan Yingsi?
While she was angry, she also realized this. Seeing the prince's somewhat unhappy expression, she suddenly began to feel scared.
So far, all her reliance has come from the prince.
"I...I'm just afraid of losing you."
She cried and explained, holding the prince's sleeve tightly. Seeing her sad look, the prince sighed and softened his heart. "Don't cry. I said, you are the only one in my heart."
"real?"
"Um."
The two of them didn't notice that there was a lake green figure not far away.
"Let's go."
Huan Yingsi's face showed no joy. She turned around and left quietly with her maid. After turning a corner and about to return to the banquet, she ran into Song Ci who was coming towards her.
She paused and stopped in front of Song Ci.
"Miss Huan."
"Do you know me?" Huan Yingsi asked in a cold tone.
"Miss Huan, you may not know me, but you must know my sister, Song Rouxi."
"Song Rouxi, your sister?" Huan Yingsi's voice finally rose. "What do you want to talk to me about?"
She had noticed it just now, and when she ran into Huan Yingsi, she knew even more that the other party didn't really not care. Maybe it was for the prince, or maybe it was for the position of the prince's consort. In short, Huan Yingsi didn't really not care about Song Rouxi's appearance.
"I just advised Miss Huan not to interfere."
"Are you here to warn me? On behalf of your sister."
"No." Song Ci smiled and said, "I'm doing this for Miss Huan's own good. If Miss Huan wants to be the Crown Princess, the best way is to just ignore it. That way, even if you don't use any methods, they will separate on their own."
Huan Yingsi's expression was strange. "What you said is interesting. Why should I believe you?"
"Then let time bear witness."
After saying that, Song Ci turned around and left without stopping.
How did she discover this pattern? After breaking all the things that were supposed to happen, she felt that as long as no one added fuel to the fire, the relationship between the prince and Song Rouxi would be like a layer of paper that would break at the touch of a button.
She had something hidden in her mind and turned to walk in one direction.
This was also one of the reasons why she begged the imperial concubine to let her in today.
Everyone was gathered at the Queen's birthday banquet, but the rest of the palace seemed eerily quiet. Following her memory, she tiptoed to Le Yi's palace.
Seeing that there was no one around, she quietly pushed the door open and went in. Just as she was about to close the door, she turned around and kicked the wooden stool behind her. The vase on the stool was shaking so much that it almost scared her heart to stop.
Suddenly, a pair of hands grabbed the bottle, held her waist and quickly retreated until they were behind the curtain and covered her mouth. The two of them pressed tightly together.
She was about to shout when she heard hurried footsteps at the door.
