Chapter 28 So Romantic
He made a scene in the imperial court just for the status of a woman in the backyard?
This is no longer pampering, this is roasting her on the fire!
[Wow! In front of everyone! So domineering! So romantic!]
Tianbao screamed like a groundhog
[Master, this is definitely true love! Look, for you, he even sacrificed his country...]
"Shut up." Song Qingyuan interrupted it coldly in his heart.
romantic?
She only saw four words: a catastrophic disaster.
A prince who does not discuss state affairs in the court but seeks personal favors is considered by the censors to be "indulging in beauty and not doing his job properly";
In the eyes of other princes, he was "acting strangely and giving others an advantage"; what would he be like in the eyes of the emperor?
Song Qingyuan didn't dare to think about it.
The only thing she was sure of was that from this moment on, her name, Song Qingyuan, was no longer just a symbol in the backyard of Prince Jing'an's Mansion, but had become a target that could be discussed in the court.
All eyes, whether jealous, contemptuous, or scrutinizing, will be focused on her.
"Girl?" Hearing Zi Su's face turn pale and she remained silent for a long time, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Song Qingyuan came back to his senses, slowly exhaled, and forced a smile: "I understand."
She picked up the spoon, scooped a spoonful of porridge and slowly put it into her mouth.
The rice porridge was warm and slid down her throat, but it couldn't warm her sinking heart.
【Master, why are you unhappy? 】
Tianbao's voice was full of confusion
[A concubine! Below seven or eight people, above ten thousand people... Uh, it seems there aren't that many people.]
In short, her status is quite high! This is a huge step on the road to becoming a queen!
"A big step?" Song Qingyuan sneered in his heart, "This is a big step towards the abyss."
What she wants is the stars and the sea, and freedom.
But what Chen Yanzhi built for her with his own hands was a more gorgeous and stronger cage.
He also felt that the cage was not eye-catching enough, so he insisted on inlaying it with diamonds to announce it to the world.
[But...but the points...]
Tianbao said weakly
[When 007 was untied just now, all the excess points were cleared.
There are many good things in Tianbao’s mall, and they all require points to redeem.
If you become a concubine, the prince will definitely favor you even more, and then we can...】
"Is favorability the only source of points?" Song Qingyuan suddenly asked.
【ah? 】
Tianbao is stuck
[No... not entirely. You can also earn a large amount of points by completing the 'Queen's Road' series of quests issued by the system.]
For example... for example, starting a business and making a lot of money! 】
Its voice became excited again.
Song Qingyuan's eyes moved slightly.
That's good.
If you rely on mountains, they will fall; if you rely on people, they will run away. Shen Yanzhi's favor is like a mirage, like arsenic and honey. She dare not ask for it, nor can she ask for it all.
What she wanted was something she could hold in her own hands.
"Miss, someone from Yixuanyuan has sent something." A little maid's voice sounded timidly outside the door.
Song Qingyuan and Tingzhu looked at each other.
Coming so soon?
A trace of vigilance flashed in Tingzhu's eyes: "Who is it?"
"It's... it's Aunt Cui who's beside the princess. She said... she came here to congratulate the young lady on the princess's orders."
Congratulations?
Song Qingyuan's lips curled up in a sarcastic arc.
I'm afraid he's here with bad intentions.
Nanny Cui came very quickly, her voice arrived before she even showed up.
"Oh, Miss Song is in the room! I'm here to congratulate you!"
There was a deliberate warmth in the voice, which gave people goosebumps for no reason.
Song Qingyuan sat still, only glancing at the door. Tingzhu understood, stepped forward, and opened the curtain.
Nanny Cui walked in with a beaming face, followed by two maids from Yixuan Courtyard, holding two trays covered with red cloth in their hands.
If it weren't for the thick white gauze wrapped around her forehead, her joyful look would have scared many people.
"Madame Cui." Song Qingyuan stood up and called out indifferently, his gaze pausing for a moment on the wound on her forehead.
Matron Cui seemed not to notice her gaze and bowed with a smile, "Young lady, please stop being so polite. From now on, you will be the Concubine, the mistress of this palace. I am not worthy of that title."
As she spoke, she moved aside to let the maid behind her remove the red cloth from the tray.
On the tray on the left is a set of head ornaments made of red gold and inlaid with rubies, which are dazzling and luxurious.
On the tray on the right are several pieces of fine brocade and Shu satin, with bright colors, which are obviously of great value.
"When the princess heard that the prince requested a title for the young lady, she was happier than anyone else.
So, early in the morning, I asked the old servant to deliver these worthless things to the girl as an advance congratulations."
Aunt Cui pointed at those things, and the wrinkles on her face were all smiling like a flower.
"The princess said that from now on we are all sisters, Miss Song, please don't be polite to her.
This palace is hoping that you can soon give birth to a family for the prince, that would be a truly great achievement!"
These words were flawless, not only demonstrating the princess's "magnanimity and virtue", but also pointing out Song Qingyuan's future "duty" - to have children.
Her words and deeds all seem to imply, "I am the principal wife, you are the concubine, and letting you in is a great favor to you."
If it were someone else who received such a valuable reward and heard these words, they would have burst into tears of gratitude and expressed their gratitude with deep fear and trepidation.
But Song Qingyuan just watched quietly with no expression on his face.
[Wow! Gold! So much gold!]
Tianbao's saliva is almost flowing down
[Master, this princess doesn't look so bad! Look how generous she is!]
Song Qingyuan rolled his eyes in his heart.
Tianbao's brain circuitry is probably the same as that of a goldfish.
This is not a gift at all, it's clearly a show of power.
Giving her such valuable things is telling her: Look, I, Cui Jingyue, have plenty of these things and can give them to you at will.
The honor and favor you gained from men are not worth mentioning in my eyes.
And the phrase "spread out and spread out" is even more vicious.
She knew very well that Shen Yanzhi had been childless for many years, and it was taboo to mention this matter in the palace.
She put this big hat on Song Qingyuan's head. If Song Qingyuan couldn't give birth in the future, it would be "ineffective" and "immoral", and Cui Jingyue would have a reason to criticize her.
"Qingyuan is unworthy of your kindness, Princess." Song Qingyuan spoke slowly, her voice clear and cold, "However, the imperial decree from the palace has not yet been issued, and nothing has been finalized. Qingyuan is just a common woman, and I really cannot accept such a grand gift."
She paused and looked up at Aunt Cui. Her eyes were clear, but with an unquestionable sharpness.
"Besides, Nanny has a forehead injury and should rest well. If the prince knew that we had to go to such great lengths to come here, he would probably feel sorry for the princess and blame Qingyuan for being ignorant instead."
As soon as these words were spoken, the smile on Aunt Cui's face froze.
She didn't expect that this seemingly weak Song Qingyuan could be so eloquent.
With just a few words, he not only pushed the gift back, but also turned the tables on her.
Pointing out the wound on her forehead was to remind her: Don't think I don't know what happened in your Yixuanyuan.
Your master lost his temper and went crazy, and now he has the nerve to come to me and pretend to be virtuous?
Bringing up the prince again would be even more heartbreaking.
Yes, what would the prince think if he saw the princess's wet nurse showing off with a face full of injuries? Would he praise the princess for her generosity, or would he think she couldn't even manage her own courtyard and was always causing trouble?
A layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on Aunt Cui's back.
