Chapter 30 Excitement
Song Yuyan bit her lips tightly, tears welling up in her eyes, but she still tried to remain calm, looking at Xiao Qinghe seriously, and spoke word by word.
As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly stuffed the jade pendant into Xiao Qinghe's hand, then turned around and prepared to leave.
However, her arm was once again tightly grasped by Xiao Qinghe: "I'm sorry, Yuyan, I really don't want to let go, can you listen to my explanation?
I have no say in my marriage. My father has already chosen my principal wife, so I cannot give you the title of principal wife.
But please believe me, I will definitely make you my concubine, I will treat you well and take care of you for the rest of my life.
The children you give birth to in the future will also be of royal blood. Even if they are born out of wedlock, they will be extremely noble and no one will dare to bully them."
Song Yuyan was struggling to break free at first, but after hearing Xiao Qinghe's words, her resistance gradually became weak and finally stopped completely.
Seeing this, Xiao Qinghe gently pulled Song Yuyan back to his side, and then carefully tied the jade pendant back around her waist.
"Yuyan, every time we meet these days, I deeply realize that you are a very precious woman who deserves to be cherished.
I have always thought that if you came to me, I would definitely be very, very happy, and then I would do my best to protect you.
Please believe me, don't avoid me anymore, give me a chance and let me take good care of you?
I will always remember my promise to you, take good care of you and love you, you deserve it."
Song Yuyan seemed unable to suppress her inner emotions any longer. She buried her head deep in Xiao Qinghe's arms and sobbed softly, "Why did you have to be the prince?
Why didn't you tell me the truth at the beginning? You big liar! I have already made up my mind to completely cut off ties with you, so why did you come to provoke me again?
Xiao Qinghe hugged Song Yuyan tightly, kissed her head lightly, and promised solemnly: "Xiao Qinghe will never let Song Yuyan down."
Song Yuyan cried for a while, and then seemed to come to her senses suddenly. Her face flushed slightly, and she quickly withdrew from Xiao Qinghe's arms.
She lowered her head and said, "It's getting late. I've been out for a while. I have to go back quickly."
"Okay." Xiao Qinghe did not try to keep her this time. He stood quietly in the rockery cave, watching her turn around and leave until she disappeared from his sight.
Song Yuyan, who originally had a shy look on her face with traces of tears, turned around and left, and her expression instantly became indifferent.
Recalling the look on Xiao Qinghe's face when he made all kinds of promises with such confidence just now, she couldn't help but smile sarcastically.
Anyway, she didn't take any of Xiao Qinghe's sweet words to heart, because she understood deeply that human nature is complex and fickle.
Before getting something, people are always eager and full of desire. However, once they get it, the novelty wears off and they will feel that everything is just so-so.
Ever since Song Yuyan began to understand things at the age of three, her aunt has been telling her earnestly that in her life, no matter what the reason, she should never easily believe a man's sweet words.
Don't even expect a man to keep his promise and treat you well for the rest of his life. When they say they're treating you well and taking care of you for the rest of your life, they're just making sure you have enough to eat and drink. Other things aren't part of this promise.
Therefore, for a man, you must make him feel that he is your everything, as if he cannot live without him, but in fact you must never really rely on him like this.
You should pursue practical benefits, such as money and power, rather than relying solely on the emotions of others.
Song Yuyan's aunt herself was one of the victims of promise deception, so she would naturally teach her children how to seek the greatest benefits for themselves.
After leaving the rockery cave, Song Yuyan did not return directly to the old lady, but waited until the redness in her eyes subsided before returning.
The old lady glanced at her and said nothing.
The queen in the top position has carefully selected several very good works, and she has also selected seven or eight women with truly outstanding talents from among the many young ladies of officials.
The peony painting drawn by Song Yuyan happened to be among them and was appreciated and praised by the queen.
Afterwards, they stayed in the palace to accompany the Queen for dinner. Only after the flower-viewing banquet was successfully concluded did the old lady take them back to the Song Mansion.
Because Song Yuwan was in the carriage, the old lady did not directly ask her about the specific situation. As soon as she returned to the Song Mansion, she immediately took Song Yuwan back to her room.
"What's the situation? Have you seen the fifth prince?" The old lady stared at Song Yuyan with fiery eyes and asked in a slightly anxious tone.
Song Yuyan nodded slightly, her face flushed with shyness: "Well, my granddaughter met the fifth prince, and he said that he would give me the title of concubine."
Upon hearing this news, the old lady's face showed a touch of joy: "That's great! Yuyan, grandma has always believed that she was not wrong.
If you really can become a concubine, grandmother will definitely prepare an extremely generous dowry for you.
Okay, you can leave first. Grandmother will wait here for the imperial edict."
Song Yuyan bowed respectfully to the old lady, then turned and left.
Just after Song Yuyan stepped out of the room, the old lady was so excited that she could hardly control herself and even stood up from her seat without caring about her image.
She began to pace anxiously around the room, her eyes gleaming with excitement and anticipation.
"Great! That's great! My Song family can actually cultivate a concubine for the prince! This is an unprecedented honor!" The old lady murmured to herself, her voice filled with irrepressible joy.
Then, the old lady seemed to remember something important. She stopped and turned to the servant beside her, saying, "By the way, be sure to tell my son this good news as soon as possible! Someone, go and ask the master to come here immediately, and hurry!"
At this moment, Song Hongzhi happened to be at home, but as soon as he got home, he couldn't wait to get into his concubine's room and was enjoying the concubine's light and graceful dance with relish.
Just when he was immersed in joy, his mood was ruined by the sudden interruption. Song Hongzhi was naturally a little dissatisfied, but when he learned that it was his mother who summoned him to Changchun Hall, he did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.
After all, if the mother calls you, it must be to discuss something important.
So, Song Hongzhi put down the wine glass in his hand without hesitation, quickly stood up and went to Changchun Hall.
Along the way, he couldn't help but secretly wonder why his mother wanted to see him, and his mood became more and more nervous.
