Song Yuning was waiting anxiously in the palace, with Shen Qianbai sitting beside her.
As soon as they saw Song Wan, they both stood up.
"Wan'er."
Song Yuning walked up to Song Wan and held her down before she could salute: "Why are you dressed so plainly? My aunt gave you a lot of jewelry last time. Don't you like any of them?"
"Colored hairpin, go to my palace's makeup box and bring the precious dish, flower-topped hairpin, and gilded hundred-flower crown..."
"I also sent the palace clothes that I made yesterday together."
Song Yuning rubbed Song Wan's cheek, feeling extremely distressed.
Even in the palace, she heard the rumors that were spreading like wildfire. When she thought about the girl she had brought up since childhood being bullied like this in the Hou Mansion, Song Yunning felt a pain in her heart.
"Bai'er, come here and say hello to your sister."
"aunt."
Song Wan hurriedly pulled her hand away and hurriedly went to pay homage to the third prince.
"Sister, don't be like this. It's because my family is so polite, but it's far away from our feelings."
Although Shen Qianbai is not yet ten years old, he is very smart and intelligent.
He helped Song Wanxu up and said with a smile: "If I accept my sister's bow, Bai'er is afraid that I will be slapped by my mother and concubine."
"Bastard."
After touching the third prince's cheek, Song Yuning pushed Shen Qianbai to find a place to play.
"Bai'er has a cheerful temperament and respects her aunt. She looks a lot like my brother when he was a child."
"It would be nice if I could be as worry-free as your brother."
Bringing Song Wan to the dressing table, Song Yuning took off her head and shook it, and then personally put on her the flower crown sent by Cai Hairpin.
Looking at Song Wan in the bronze mirror, she suddenly blushed: "My aunt didn't let you get married, but you insisted on getting married, but now you regret it?"
"not regret."
Song Wan pursed his lips and smiled, with a coquettish and soft look in his eyes that only appeared when he saw Song Yuning.
"The most useless thing in the world is the word regret. Wan'er never looks at the past, only looks for the future."
"And with my aunt protecting me, I won't be afraid."
Hearing this, Song Yuning forced a smile and said, "If my aunt could protect her, you wouldn't be wasting your time in the Hou Mansion now."
The two of them knew that each other's difficulties would make their loved ones sad, so they could only swallow their pain.
Together with Caiji, she helped Song Wan change into palace clothes. Song Yunning sighed: "What happened that day when Duke Yin went to the Hou Mansion? How could he die suddenly? And I heard from the eunuch in the palace that when he was discovered, he seemed to have been hit by something. The thing sucked up the essence, and all the blood and vitality was lost overnight, and the corpse was shriveled up, very different from the day."
Song Wan looked up in surprise, as if he didn't expect such a strange thing to happen.
She lowered her eyes and said nothing. Seeing this, Concubine Yun pushed back everyone around her.
After telling Concubine Yun what Duan Yiting did on the day he arrived at the Marquis Mansion, as well as the fact that he had soaked the silk in red and blue flower water, Song Wan became quite worried: "I don't know if it was me..."
"laugh."
Song Yuning sneered: "If this method alone could bring Yin Gong to such a state, he would have died countless times over the years. Don't be afraid. It has nothing to do with you."
"According to what you said, nothing strange happened that day. It seems that he was tricked by someone somewhere. I don't know who made such a tragic situation."
Patting Song Wan's hand gently, Song Yuning looked worried: "Everyone in the palace is in danger now. How can I let my aunt feel relieved when you are far away in the Marquis' Mansion?"
"Wan'er has a way to protect herself. Auntie, don't worry about Wan'er. Concubine Jiang is becoming more and more favored, and sometimes she can even outdo the queen. Now that the situation has changed, I don't know how she will deal with you."
"You don't need to worry about things in the palace, just protect yourself."
After dressing up Song Wan again, the little girl now has red lips, green teeth, bright eyes and good eyesight. She is more than a hundred times more beautiful than when she came before. Song Yuning felt more comfortable and walked out of Changxin Palace with her.
"Jiang Man couldn't defeat me in the palace, so he thought of reaching out to the Marquis Mansion to torment you. Let's see how my aunt will help you vent your anger today."
Song Wan followed her obediently and did not comfort her after hearing the words, allowing Concubine Yun to vent her anger.
The imperial garden was filled with the fragrance of pink and white. Not only the concubines of the Sixth Palace were there, but also the matrons of aristocratic families with slightly higher status in the capital, and all the ladies were also present in their best attires. It would not be an exaggeration to say that hundreds of flowers were blooming for a time.
As soon as Song Yunning entered the venue, many people gathered around to pay their respects and salute.
Jiang Man sat at the Queen's feet and looked at the two of them coldly.
"Concubine Jiang arrived so early?"
After paying homage to the Queen and several empresses, Song Wan walked up to Jiang Man and said, "My wife pays homage to Concubine Jiang."
Song Wan stood behind Concubine Yun and saluted Concubine Jiang with a smile.
"Why did Wan'er come here just now? I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Pulling the person to her side affectionately, Concubine Jiang smiled and said, "You haven't been in the palace for a long time. It's more difficult for me to see you than to see you. Fortunately, you look good now, so I feel relieved."
Asking the palace maid to move the embroidered pier beside her, Concubine Jiang invited Song Wan to sit down with a kind face.
Song Yuning smiled brightly: "Concubine Jiang still loves you, which is infinitely better than that of a human aunt like me. Even though you didn't bow to Concubine Jiang when you entered the palace, I never complained to you."
"Knowing that you are weak, you won't have to worry about many things in the Marquis' Mansion. Your aunt takes care of the business outside the Mansion, and there are female officials in the palace who take care of the internal affairs of the Marquis' Mansion. Even my direct aunt cannot do this."
"Quickly, why don't you thank Concubine Jiang? You've been married to the Marquis Mansion for so long and you haven't even served her tea. You really don't know the etiquette."
Asking Caiji to bring a soft cushion, Song Yuning took it and threw it in front of Concubine Jiang.
Song Wan held up the hem of her skirt and knelt down quietly. Cai Xi brought another cup of tea: "Wan'er has met Concubine Jiang. Wish you all the best..."
Jiang Man looked gloomy and watched Song Wan hold the tea in front of him untouched for a long time.
The people around seemed to be busy with their own affairs, but they were all paying close attention to this side.
When they saw Song Wan kneeling in front of Concubine Jiang, several high-ranking ladies from her husband's family silently thought in their hearts that Concubine Jiang was young and energetic and could not hold her breath.
However, after being defeated several times by Song Yuning, she didn't even bother to save her face. It is extremely stupid for someone to force this cup of tea that should have been offered to my sister-in-law six years ago on such an occasion.
Then when they thought of her as a married woman interfering in the affairs of the Hou family, everyone felt disdain.
Jiang Man curled his lips, took it with a stiff smile and took a sip.
"Why don't you help Mrs. Cheng Yanghou to get up?"
The colorful hairpin helped Song Wan up, and Song Yunning sighed quietly: "Concubine Jiang feels sorry for the Marquis of Chengyang, who loves Wu Jiwu. Not to mention you, she is the promiscuous concubine in the mansion, and she is very generous to her. Not only does she not blame her for losing her, He ruined the face of women all over the world and even gave her money to open a shop."
"If the Holy One knows about it, he will be pleased that Concubine Jiang is approachable and enjoys herself with the people."
Jiang Man narrowed his eyes, showing displeasure.
It was not right for the concubine to interfere in the affairs of merchants, and she had no excuse for it.
Song Yuning continued to sigh: "It is said that the woman is quite proficient in some magical arts. Not only did Concubine Jiang and the Marquis value her very much, but the objects she made were also excellent."
"It's just about making ice in the summer. The stuff from Huanyanzhai is really amazing, but I heard it's not easy to get. Regardless of the royal family, you may not be able to buy it even if you come to the door with money."
Jiang Man's face gradually darkened: "If Concubine Yun likes it, what if I give you a set?"
Song Yuning said: "How can I take Concubine Jiang's things for nothing? Besides, the empress, the empress, the virtuous concubines and the virtuous concubines are all there, how can I monopolize it over several empresses?"
Jiang Man clenched his fists and forced a laugh: "How can the Queen and the Empress not get the most precious treasure in the world? Huanyanzhai is just a small rouge shop, and it is not worthy of the attention of empresses. But since Concubine Yun mentioned it today , I will ask someone to send some to a few ladies tomorrow so that they can enjoy them."
"Thank you, Concubine Jiang."
Song Yuning smiled and said to Song Wan: "Look, look, Concubine Jiang has always been a cheerful person. I really like her temperament."
"The Marquis of Chengyang must have also received the true biography of Concubine Jiang. He has been suffering at the border for six years. After returning to the capital, he should have stood out among the chickens, but he put down his body and heard the chickens dancing every day. Now he finally took the opportunity to rise up and go to Shenshu Camp."
"He has been fighting so hard and has never shown any embarrassment in his life. My aunt is really happy for you to have found this husband."
There was a pop, and someone didn't know who laughed. Seeing that the two of them were almost arguing, Fang Youyou opened her mouth to invite everyone to sit down.
