Chapter 217 You weren’t like this before!
Since when did Song Ci's glory almost overshadow her past? From childhood to adulthood, she was the one who was paid attention to and cared about.
Ever since he noticed that her relationship with the prince had become distant, his father's attitude had changed. His grandmother, who had always loved her, also changed her attitude. She used to be very affectionate towards her, but now there was a little more impatience in her eyes occasionally.
How could Song Ci live a good life when she was living like this?
"Third sister." Song Rouxi spoke first with a forced smile.
She signaled with her eyes for Song Ying to support her and walk forward. As they got closer, the jealousy in her heart was about to burst out.
"Big sister, second sister." Song Ci said in a light tone.
After she finished speaking, she was about to walk forward, but someone grabbed her hand. Wanxiang immediately became nervous and wanted to say something, but she subconsciously turned back to look at Song Ci. Seeing that her expression was still calm, she felt relieved.
"Is there anything else you want?" Song Ci looked at her hand holding her wrist, her tone somewhat sarcastic.
Song Rouxi wanted to see her panic, to see her getting upset because of her, but there was nothing. Song Ci still looked indifferent, as if she was a transparent person.
"Third sister, have you ever heard this?" Song Rouxi said, emphasizing each word, "If you walk too much at night, the chances of encountering ghosts will increase."
Song Ci laughed out loud and pulled her hand out of her grasp. The force was so great that Song Rouxi, who had injured her knee, almost couldn't stand and looked very embarrassed.
"I have something to tell you, too. If you stand by the river too often, you'll get your feet wet. Don't treat everyone as a fool. Be careful, you're the one who's the fool. I heard some news recently. I wonder if my sister has heard it?"
Song Rouxi raised her eyebrows pretending to be calm, "What news?"
"It's nothing important. It's just that Miss Huan had her birthday recently, and she invited quite a few people to come over to chat and have fun. She even invited His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
She only learned the news when Le Yi wrote to her. She hadn't intended to tell anyone, but since Song Rouxi was the first to provoke her, she couldn't blame herself.
"You're talking nonsense!" Song Rouxi was indeed shocked because she had no idea at all.
In the past, she and the prince had corresponded with each other, and they had always told each other everything they knew. For things like this, the prince would usually let her know and would be considerate of her feelings.
Now!
"Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, you can find out by asking around. If I lie about something like this, it will be exposed as soon as you find out, so why should I do it?" Song Ci's bright eyes admired the panic on Song Rouxi's face.
"You're talking nonsense. I don't believe it. The Crown Prince is very busy. How could he have the time to attend Miss Huan's birthday party? The two of them aren't that close to each other."
"I don't know about that. Doesn't my sister have a good relationship with the prince? How come the prince didn't tell you?"
Hatred flashed across Song Rouxi's face, and she forced herself to cheer up, "Perhaps the prince was busy and forgot to mention it."
"So that's how it is."
After chatting for a while, Song Rouxi no longer had the heart to argue with Song Ci. She hurriedly asked Song Ying to support her and go back. Song Ci looked at her back and guessed, is she going to see the prince?
Given Song Rouxi's temper, she would definitely not tolerate this and would definitely ask the Crown Prince for clarification.
But if she was really like in her previous life, with a strong relationship with the prince, and had experienced life and death, then this little temper would not be a big deal. In many cases, it was just a form of mischief and coquettishness.
But the mistake was that the two of them were not the same as in the previous life. So, in the eyes of the prince, all these things of hers were considered annoying and pretentious.
...
Along the way, Song Ying's hand was squeezed so hard that it hurt. Only she knew it. When Song Rouxi learned the news, her nails pinched her flesh fiercely, but she didn't say a word, as if it was not her own arm.
After walking for a distance, Song Rouxi finally let go of her hand. "I'm sorry, second sister. I was so anxious just now that I must have pinched you and hurt you."
"fine."
Song Rouxi said perfunctorily, "I knew you wouldn't care about me. I have something to do right now, you go back first." After saying that, she walked back without raising her head.
Song Ying was left standing there, rubbing the pinch marks left by her nails with a strange smile on her face.
Regardless of her leg injury, Song Rouxi hurried to the prince's manor. The doorman said that the prince was busy at the moment and might not be able to see her.
Song Rouxi felt as if her heart was being tugged at. Inconvenient? What inconvenient? Could it be that bitch Huan Yingsi is still here seducing the prince?
The doorman tried to stop her, but she forced her way in and went straight to the prince's study.
She pushed the door open with a bang, and before she could see clearly what was going on inside, she shouted, "What are you doing!"
The two people inside the door looked in her direction with surprise. After seeing that it was her, the prince's face showed some panic and surprise.
"What are you doing!" The prince stood up, his face half angry and half surprised.
Song Rouxi was about to explode, but after seeing the person in front of her clearly, she felt a little uncomfortable, "Why is it... the Queen?"
Yes, she pushed the door open and rushed in. Inside were the Crown Prince and the Empress. Why was the Empress here?
"Miss Song." The queen's cold voice was like cold water poured on Song Rouxi's head.
Her knees softened, and she knelt down, "Your Highness, I greet the Queen."
"How dare you! This is how your family taught you the rules, yet you dare to trespass into the prince's study! Come, slap her in the face and teach her some proper manners."
When she heard that he was going to be the shopkeeper, Song Rouxi looked at the prince in panic, with pleading and fear in her eyes.
The prince was angry just now, but when he met her eyes, his heart softened. "Mother! Song Rouxi is a girl after all. How can she face others after being slapped in the face like this?"
Seeing that her son was still protecting her, the queen remained calm and looked at her exquisite armor slowly and calmly, "Then, Prince, what do you think we should do?"
The prince wanted to say, why not just let it go, but when he met the queen's displeased look, he swallowed his words back.
"Why not let her copy the Women's Training and Precepts?"
The queen snorted coldly and stood up. "Since you have spoken, then let it be. Miss Song, you will recite the female training and female precepts fifty times each within a month." After that, she left with her people.
Song Rouxi finally breathed a sigh of relief, but after hearing it fifty times each, she felt dizzy.
What made her even more sad was that the prince did not argue for her, but chose to let her copy the book!
"Hurry up and get up. The Queen Mother has left. Don't kneel down..." The prince reached out to help her, but was pushed away by Song Rouxi.
The eyes that were full of heartache just now suddenly turned cold.
"You weren't like this before."
