Chapter 156 Change it back?
In fact, strictly speaking, becoming a prince from a crown prince cannot be considered a restoration, but the position of prince just hit Xi Qingtong's original psychological bottom line.
When Xiao Ji was deposed, she didn't think of abandoning him at first. She just wanted to become the prince's concubine. If she lay dormant, there might be hope. She was willing to endure this hardship. But who would have thought that news would soon spread that Xiao Ji's leg could not be cured, and he was deposed as a commoner again?
That's why she panicked and had evil thoughts in her mind, deciding to force Qingwu to exchange places with her and become the prince's concubine. She could barely accept it, but she couldn't be a commoner's concubine.
But now, Xiao Ji has been granted the title of prince and has been given the character "Zhao". How could Xi Qingtong not understand such a word?
Xi Qingtong felt extremely unhappy, feeling both unbelievable and panicked.
So now her twin sister is the prince's concubine? Does she need to bow and kowtow when she sees her twin sister?
The more Xi Qingtong thought about it, the angrier she became. She suddenly grabbed the intact teapot on the table and smashed it to the ground, not caring at all that the purple clay teapot was worth a lot of silver and that the Song family was increasingly unable to make ends meet.
"Why...why is she so lucky?" Xi Qingtong's voice was hoarse, as if squeezed out from between teeth. The last time she went to the palace, the intimate appearance of the two was still vivid in her mind. Xi Qingtong felt a surge of jealousy in her heart.
Why can't she please him even though they have the same face? Why can Xiao Ji be restored to his rightful place shortly after the exchange?
Jinzhu knelt aside, trembling and not daring to make a sound.
Xi Qingtong suddenly grabbed Jinzhu's shoulders with a mixture of emotions, her beautiful eyes flashing with madness: "Tell me, if I tell Xiao Ji the truth now, will he still like Xi Qingwu so much? Will he still let her continue to be the prince's concubine?"
Jinzhu was so frightened that she kept shaking her head: "Madam, you can't do that! This is a crime of deceiving the emperor! You will not get away with it! You will be beheaded!"
In fact, Xi Qingtong regretted it after she said this. She let go of Jin Zhu's shoulders and forced a smile, "Just kidding... I won't expose her. I still want to live..."
Having exposed the twin sisters, she would be the first to bear the brunt of the punishment, which would prevent her from returning to Prince Zhao's side and from continuing to be the wife of the third place winner in the imperial examination. Reason tried to stop her from doing this, but warmth still flowed out of Xi Qingtong's eyes.
At this moment, even if Xi Qingtong didn't want to admit it, she had to admit that she felt a little regretful.
Three months, just three months. As long as she can hold on for three months, she will still be the concubine of Prince Zhao. No, it's not just that. After having experienced this low point together, Xiao Ji will love and cherish her even more.
Yinzhu also knelt on the ground. She looked at the sky outside and advised with a sad face, "Madam, please think about the bright side. The prince's throne may not be stable. You don't know when you will be able to step down. Besides, your leg is disabled after all. It's not good for you..."
"Our master is now treated just like the number one scholar. He will surely rise to prominence in the future. Madam, you can just wait to be appointed a consort. You are at least the legal wife now! With the Xi family around, there's no need to worry about the master taking a concubine..."
Xi Qingtong felt even more heartbroken when she heard Yinzhu's words. She wiped away her tears and sneered, "A consort of the Imperial Court? Only a second-rank consort could rival a prince's concubine. How many years do I have to wait for this?"
She suddenly remembered that three months ago, after exchanging with her twin sister, she had sex with Song Yunhe on Xi Qingwu's wedding bed. At that time, she was complacent, thinking that she had won. Now thinking about it... How ironic!
The maidservant, Yinzhu, was still thinking non-stop. Her mind was always a bit strange, and this time she racked her brains to coax her master. She said, "If the master is unwilling to wait, then change it back? Maybe... maybe the Second Lady will still be willing?"
Yinzhu felt that it was impossible for her to say this, but she just said it casually to please her master.
Who would have thought that the master's expression would change slightly, as if he really took these words seriously...
"you're right……"
However, Xi Qingtong only said half of the sentence and stopped talking. Who in their right mind would be willing to do that?
She exhaled a breath from her chest and leaned weakly on the chair. It took her a long time to calm down completely.
No need, it hasn't come to that yet.
She gave up on that road halfway, and she couldn't do the same thing again on this road.
Song Yunhe's future is still bright now, and he is still devoted to her. It is not time to give up on him yet.
Yes, now she can only hold Song Yunhe tightly!
Xi Qingtong finally calmed down when she thought of everything Song Yunhe had done for her. She ordered the maid to get some water to wipe away her tears, then sat in front of the mirror to put on makeup again. A dark light flashed in the beautiful eyes of the girl in the mirror.
When Song Yunhe came back, he saw his wife who was still as calm and beautiful as ever.
He couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. It was fine that she didn't know about the imperial edict two days ago, but today the Ministry of Rites went to welcome her with such fanfare. Could it be that she didn't know about it?
If Xi Qingtong had been arrogant, Song Yunhe could have used this as an excuse to have a big quarrel with her, but she was so calm that he didn't know what to do.
Song Yunhe hesitated for a step and finally stepped into the door. His expression was not ugly, but the atmosphere around him was very depressing. He opened his mouth but before he could speak, Xi Qingtong took the initiative to greet him.
"Cousin, is there anything interesting happening in the government office today?"
Song Yunhe lowered his eyes and looked at the girl who came up to take off his outer robe, and clearly saw the blush in the corners of her eyes that was covered by powder.
She cried, she knew.
But she didn't cry or vent in front of him.
Song Yunhe suddenly felt that his cousin had grown up.
He reached out and stroked Xi Qingtong's cheek, his voice softening slightly: "The Ministry of Rites went to welcome the deposed Crown Prince back to the palace today. Have you heard about it?"
Song Yunhe's gaze fell on the crimson eyes, and he naturally stared at them closely. If she had even a hint of helplessness or resentment...
Xi Qingtong's expression quickly turned lonely for a moment, but she quickly adjusted herself. "I heard, cousin, don't worry, I've figured it out..." She raised her eyes, her eyes full of water. "Cousin has treated me well. We just need to live our own lives well, no matter what others do..."
Seeing this, Song Yunhe's heart softened and he took her into his arms: "I'm glad you think so." He sighed softly, "Don't worry, I won't let you suffer any injustice."
Let’s kick Dong Ning out first, so that Tong’er won’t find out.
That night, Song Yunhe asked his servant to do this and gave Dong Ning ten taels of silver, intending to find an excuse to drive her out in a few days. But how could Dong Ning be willing to get such a result?
She gave her body and got ten taels of silver? The lady's tea set was worth this much.
She touched her belly and smiled. Wouldn't this cause the couple to turn against each other?
