Chapter 29
The only pitiful person is the Crown Princess Xuan Hualing, who is also the biological mother of the villain Song Yanting.
The Xuan family pushed him to become the crown prince with all their strength and also helped him ascend to the throne.
After paying so much, not only was his daughter demoted to a concubine, but the entire Xuan family was also framed with all kinds of false charges by that ungrateful man and eventually wiped out.
After going through so much, she has also turned evil.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Lin!" They followed Rong Mama's movements and saluted him.
He straightened his back and tried to attract Song Fuyu's attention in the best possible manner.
Prince Lin Song Fuyu, dressed in a gorgeous blue robe with a python pattern and a silver crown on his head, walked towards them with square steps. He recognized Rong Mama from a distance and raised his hand with a gentle smile, "No need to be polite."
"Mammy, what are you doing?"
Song Fuyu glanced at the group of women following behind him.
Aunt Rong smiled and replied, "These are the young ladies from various families in the capital who have been invited to attend the Empress Dowager's flower viewing banquet today."
"I am taking them to Shoukang Palace."
Song Fuyu had no interest in their presence, and when he heard that they were invited, he didn't even look at them.
He was indifferent and smiled as he gestured for them to stand up.
"Everyone, get up."
After saying this, he turned to Madam Rong and said, "Since it is the Empress Dowager's request, then Madam Rong will go and take care of it. Right now, the Emperor has something else to ask me, so please tell Madam Rong that I will come back later after I finish my business."
"Hey, I obey your orders."
Aunt Rong and the others said, "We respectfully send off His Royal Highness Prince Lin."
As soon as Song Fuyu left, the young girls were moved by love and pulled their friends to look at the departing figure from afar, feeling quite excited.
Being in the palace, they did not dare to act unruly. They held the hands of their friends and gathered in groups of two or three to whisper.
"Is this His Royal Highness Prince Lin?"
"His Royal Highness Prince Lin is indeed worthy of his reputation and has an extraordinary bearing."
"His Royal Highness Prince Lin looks so gentle, and he's so kind to the maids in the palace."
"Your Highness Prince Lin is so handsome, and his voice is so sweet! So gentle."
......
In her opinion, Prince Lin was just so-so. In the storybook, he was not as handsome as Song Yanting, and outside the storybook, her master was far better than him.
Since the maid couldn't follow him around, You Yang was bored and could only play with You Miaoyan.
She tugged at You Miaoyan's scarf in a nonchalant manner and asked her with a smile, "Sister, what do you think of His Royal Highness Prince Lin? Is he comparable to His Royal Highness Prince Xuan?"
You Miaoyan's alarm bells suddenly rang. She took a step back and looked at Rong Mama in front of her uncomfortably. She was relieved only after confirming that Rong Mama didn't notice what was happening here and didn't look over.
"Sister, be careful with your words." You Miaoyan's face looked unhappy.
She knew that with the tone of Youyang's question just now, the young ladies beside her had already pricked up their ears, waiting for her answer.
She had just accidentally offended Madam Rong. If she continued to discuss Prince Lin here, and if she gave the slightest mistake in answering Youyang's question, and it got to the ears of the Empress Dowager or any other concubine, she would be in trouble.
At the very least, she would be troubled and upset by others in the palace today. At worst, no matter which prince she wanted to marry in the future, or whether she wanted to enter the palace as a concubine, it would be impossible.
I am going to be the queen, and I absolutely cannot make this mistake.
She looked at You Yang with strange eyes, somewhat surprised by her.
This little bitch was so cunning. If she hadn't realized it in time, she would have fallen into her trap.
You Miaoyan forced a smile at the corner of her lips, pretending to be serious. She didn't dare to answer You Yang's words easily, so she avoided him and scolded her like an elder sister.
"You and I are now in the palace. If we commit a crime, the emperor, the queen mother, and the other ladies will not forgive you just because you grew up in the countryside."
"If you continue to be so disrespectful, I will not bring you to the palace next time, no matter what father says."
She said this, firstly to avoid answering, and secondly to remind the people around her that a country bumpkin who grew up in the countryside knew nothing and what he said naturally did not count.
After watching Prince Lin leave, Rong Mama, with a solemn attitude, coughed and said, "This old servant knows that you ladies don't often come to the palace, so everything you see is strange to you."
"Don't blame me for reminding you. This is the Imperial Palace. If you ladies can't control your mouths and the nobles hear you, you will bear the consequences."
Everyone knelt, "Thank you, Ma'am, for your advice."
Madam Rong's expression softened and she nodded slightly.
"Follow me, old slave."
When they arrived at Shoukang Palace, the nanny led them to the small garden.
"Ladies, please enjoy yourselves. The Queen Mother and the ladies of the other palaces will be here later."
After the nanny turned and left, the group of people also dispersed.
You Yang yawned and roughly counted the number of people. There were probably about seven or eight of them. Even if the screening criteria was the unmarried daughters of ministers, there wouldn't be only this many people. Maybe some people hadn't come yet.
Her gaze returned to You Miaoyan, who was peeking over, looking for something.
This person may say that she is stupid, but in the story she does have some brains and can successfully pull down the heroine and ascend to the throne of queen.
But if you say she is smart, I could have led her into trouble with just two casual words.
After thinking about it, You Yang decided to stay away from her. After all, not only cruel people can harm others, stupid people can also do it.
She left when he wasn't paying attention and took a general look at the terrain of the back garden. Only then did she have the leisure to appreciate the scenery.
The flowers in the palace are indeed more beautiful than those outside the palace.
The small garden in Shoukang Palace is not small at all. Not only is there a yard full of flowers, but there is also a lake with large lotus flowers, lotus leaves, etc. floating on the lake. There is also a pavilion in the center of the lake.
She didn't know any of the people here and had no interest in making friends with them. While they were all enjoying the flowers, catching butterflies and playing pitching pot, Youyang saw the empty pavilion in the middle of the lake from afar.
In order to find some peace and quiet, Youyang stepped onto the water corridor and walked there leisurely.
When You Miaoyan turned around to look for Liu Qianruo, You Yang had disappeared when she looked back again. She looked around but to no avail, so she had to go look for Liu Qianruo first.
The first thing Liu Qianruo saw when she saw You Miaoyan was to look behind her. "Where did that little bitch go? Why didn't she follow you?"
You Miaoyan gritted her teeth and said, "She disappeared after I stopped watching her for a while. She doesn't take me, her elder sister, seriously at all. When I get home, I will ask my mother to find a maid to teach her a lesson so that she knows what it means to respect her elder sister."
If Liu Qianruo were the legitimate daughter of the family, all the daughters born to her father's concubines would be completely subdued by her. "If I were to ask you, you're just too kind and soft-hearted, which is why she's so arrogant."
"Look at my family, who among those concubines would dare to do this?"
You Miaoyan shook her head, "If she were really a concubine's daughter, she would be much easier to deal with, but she isn't."
"Her mother was my father's first wife. If my mother hadn't given birth to me prematurely, the position of the eldest sister might have been hers."
As she spoke, she seemed to recall something, her eyes gleaming with cruelty. She raised the corners of her lips and said quietly, "It's a pity her mother was short-lived. She couldn't protect her when she was alive, and even less after her death."
Liu Qianruo had heard a few things about the You family's past from her mother. The You family's external statement was that jealousy in the backyard caused the mistress and the concubine to give birth prematurely at the same time. The mistress was weak and died of hemorrhage after giving birth, which allowed the concubine to succeed.
"Well, since you've made up your mind, I won't say anything."
"I'll ask the palace maid to look for that vixen."
You Yang was sitting in the pavilion in the middle of the lake. After a while, she moved her ears and heard a loud commotion not far away.
"The Fifth Prince is coming!"
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you. May your Highness be well and safe."
…
Oh, the male lead is here.
Before Song Yunlan left, he didn't even have the courage to confess his true identity to her. Youyang couldn't help but feel curious about what kind of expression he would have when he saw her here too.
You Yangguang was thinking when he heard someone walking towards him.
Turning around, I saw it was a eunuch.
"My lady, my prince is coming here. Could you please move somewhere else?"
You Yang raised an eyebrow in surprise and replied, "I understand. I'll leave now."
If Song Yunlan were to come, she would definitely have to make room for him, so as to avoid having to get involved with him again, which would hinder the plot.
Her lack of hesitation actually made the eunuch who was delivering the message stunned.
He found it unusual that she agreed so quickly, and stared at her warily to prevent Youyang from having any other thoughts.
Youyang didn’t have so many thoughts. He just left. What else could he have in mind?
She straightened her dress and left calmly under the wary gaze of the young eunuch.
Unfortunately, she had just walked out of the pavilion and stepped onto the water corridor. When she looked up, she saw Song Yunlan walking to the middle of the water corridor.
You Yang cried out, "It's really fatal."
It’s not right to go forward at this moment, and it’s even more wrong to go backward.
There was no way around it, so You Yang made up his mind and decided to face it.
She folded her hands on the front of her lower abdomen, staring straight ahead at the three-acre area in front of her toes.
When he was so close that she could no longer avoid him, she saluted without even looking up, "Greetings, Your Highness."
Song Yunlan recognized You Yang's figure from a distance in the middle of the water corridor.
He deliberately quickened his pace and walked up to her, blocking her way.
I was full of excitement, but only realized how nervous I was when I got there.
Song Yunlan looked at her with her head lowered, and felt uneasy.
Guilty, he asked, "Don't you recognize me?"
You Yang didn't even raise her head, "The Fifth Prince is so precious, it's not something a servant can get to know."
Song Yunlan couldn't see her expression or figure out her attitude, but from her tone he could tell she was angry.
"I...I can explain those things, but it's not convenient to explain here. You can stay later and I will take you out of the palace...I..."
"No need, Your Highness." You Yang didn't look at him, staring at her toes. "I'm not worthy of Your Highness seeing me off in person. If Your Highness has nothing else to do, I'll take my leave."
"I……"
You Yang took the initiative to walk past Song Yunlan and left quickly, leaving him standing there with a melancholy look on his face.
"Which young lady is so unreasonable?" The eunuch following behind Song Yunlan spoke up for him: "Your Highness, she is so unreasonable, we should just kick her out of the palace."
Until the beautiful figure disappeared from his sight, Song Yunlan warned him with a sidelong glance, "Pingfei, don't talk nonsense. She can do whatever she wants to me. She has the right to do anything in front of me. This is all my own will."
After being scolded, Ping Fei finally said honestly, "Yes, I know I am wrong."
