Chapter 37 The Princess's Surprise Visit 2
Li Yao: "Princess, you don't know. It's not my aunt saying bad things about my niece, but Song Ci is really... not presentable. Yesterday, she was arguing with us elders and didn't even take good care of her sisters when she was out. It's really shameful..."
The more Le Yi listened, the more she felt something was wrong. She was so angry that she shouted, "How dare you!"
Old Lady Song and Li Yao were stunned. How could the princess change her expression so suddenly? They were so scared that they knelt down immediately.
Then he kept winking at Song Rouxi, asking her to speak.
Song Rouxi thought for a moment and said gently, "Princess, they are all elders of the Song family, you..."
"Elders? They are your elders, what do they have to do with me? You start to speak ill of this princess's friend right in front of me. I don't even know how you bully her at home in the past!"
The more she thought about it, the more she felt sorry for Song Ci.
She felt strange yesterday. As an elder sister, why could she be bullied like an enemy? It turns out that when the upper beam is crooked, the lower beams will be crooked too!
Old Lady Song forgot her fear and looked up in disbelief, "The princess's friend is that little bitch Song Ci?"
"How dare you!" The female official in a blue skirt beside Princess Le Yi came out and slapped Old Lady Song in the face without saying a word, making her face crooked and even... a yellow tooth flew out.
"Grandma!" Song Rouxi.
"Mother!" Li Yao.
The two men rushed to help her. Old Lady Song was a bully who only bullied the weak and feared the strong. After being slapped, she was now afraid. She had no strength at all. If it weren't for the two men supporting her, she would have almost collapsed to the ground.
Li Yao came back to his senses, glanced at his daughter, then looked at Princess Le Yi, a feeling of disbelief rising in his heart.
The princess was so protective of Song Ci, someone her own daughter couldn't possibly associate with. Was she crazy? How could she leave her daughter, who was so outstanding in every way, behind and associate with a mere Song Ci?
"Princess, we are not framing her. We are also thinking about the princess. If someone like her becomes the princess's friend and behaves improperly in the future and brings shame to the princess, it will be the sin of our Song family."
Li Yao suppressed the jealousy in her heart, her face twisted and twisted. No matter what, she couldn't just watch Xiang He and Song Ci have such good luck.
"It's none of your business to say who this princess wants to be friends with." Princess Le Yi's eyes were filled with disgust. "Where's Song Ci? Do you think I have to ask my people to go find her personally?"
In the third room, Song Ci was combing Qiao Xianglan's hair.
The mother and daughter were talking and laughing. Qiao Xianglan patted her hands and said, "Mom made some cakes that you like. Don't be busy now. Eat something."
"My daughter wants to eat with her mother."
Song Ci took her hand and said coquettishly.
Qiao Xianglan couldn't stand it, so she agreed with a smile. The mother and daughter walked to the yard and sat down affectionately, planning to eat together.
Song Ci turned around and looked towards the door, meeting Princess Le Yi's joyful gaze.
"Song San!"
"Princess Le Yi!" Song Ci was stunned for a few seconds before reacting.
"I finally found you!" Le Yi walked in and couldn't help muttering, "You don't know how terrible these elders in your family are."
He recounted what had just happened in the main hall.
Qiao Xianglan knew her mother-in-law was partial, but she never imagined she was clearly not hoping for the best for her own daughter. If Song Ci was doing well, wouldn't that mean the Song family was doing well, too? She couldn't understand why these people were like this.
After Le Yi finished speaking, her mouth felt dry, so Song Ci hurriedly asked Wanxiang to make tea.
"Why is there only one maid in your yard?"
Song Ci smiled and said, "The Song family can't afford to support so many servants." She used the money she had just earned to ask Lin Huo to stock up on goods and buy a shop. She really didn't have much money left.
Le Yi's eyes turned, and she waved her hand. "That's easy. The people around me are all capable. Why don't I leave someone with you? These people in your family are really bad. Why not leave someone who knows martial arts?"
"I appreciate the princess's kindness, but how can I let your people stay here at all costs?"
"Unfair? Not at all!" She turned to look at a round-faced maid, "Tian'er, you'll be the one to stay and serve me from now on. Are you willing?"
Tian'er, as her name suggests, is very sweet-looking. She stood up and said with a smile, "Princess, I do."
Princess Le Yi made the decision directly, and Song Ci had no choice but to accept it.
The two chatted, Qiao Xianglan smiled and found an excuse to leave. She was happy that the princess was her daughter's first friend.
"So your family is like this..." Princess Le Yi sighed after hearing this. She was always favored at home, but she had never seen her father be so partial to her. She couldn't help but tease, "If you didn't know, you would think your family was picked up."
Song Ci smiled mysteriously, "Maybe he really picked it up."
Le Yi burst into laughter, thinking she was joking.
After sitting for a while, she looked at Song Ci proudly, "This princess thinks your yard is a bit simple." She paused and raised her chin proudly, "It just so happens that when I went back yesterday, I told my father about you saving me, and my father rewarded you... Of course, this princess also said a lot of good things about you."
Seeing her awkward look, Song Ci couldn't help but smile in her heart.
"Song Ci thanks the princess for her kindness."
Le Yi hummed softly, put her hands on her hips, and said coquettishly, "You are my friend, so of course I have to help you."
Song Ci was stunned when she heard this, and an indescribable feeling arose in her heart.
Help her? Whether before or now, she seemed to have never been truly cared for by anyone. Those kindness and warmth always followed Song Rouxi. She was like a dark color in the corner of the wall, never cared for or cherished by anyone.
Seeing her stunned, Le Yi raised an eyebrow, "Why, are you so happy that you're stupid? That's right, except for you, this princess has never been so nice to anyone. It's normal for you to be happy."
That brief sadness was instantly dissipated by Le Yi's joke.
She immediately remembered something and said, "Have you told the Emperor the identity of the person who harmed you?"
Le Yi's face turned cold. "The factional struggle is fierce. I don't have any evidence. If I tell Father rashly, I'm afraid it will arouse his suspicion of me."
Song Ci then realized that emperors had always been suspicious. She was Prince Yu's sister, and if she blamed someone from the Crown Prince's lineage without any evidence, the Emperor would probably not only not stand up for her, but would even become suspicious of her true intentions.
"Don't worry, although father... she still loves me very much." Le Yi smiled, as if she didn't care at all.
It turns out that no matter if you are a princess or born in an ordinary family, life is not easy for everyone. She inexplicably felt some emotion.
