The Ta Sun Palace was extraordinary, and Song Ren and Song Ke did not dare to slack off. They quickly got dressed and went out with the son-in-law to welcome him together.
Madam Xü's hand grasped her collar, looking at Song Chuyi with some tension. She had previously heard from the green-clothed one that Song Chuyi had encountered trouble when going out once before, and it was this Crown Prince who had resolved the situation.
But Song Chuyi didn't have any other reaction, instead she lowered her head as if deep in thought.
This Prince Taisun appears at such coincidental times and places, it's really making people think too much. Coincidentally, in the previous life, this Prince Taisun died young, she knew about other people's past and present lives, but for this Prince Taisun, she truly had no idea, and now she can't help but be confused.
Ye Jingchuan has caused such a great disaster, logically speaking, the Town South Wangfu should be pressed down and can't keep up, how could others know? And the news of the Tartar cavalry in Tongzhou was just reported, why did the Ta Sun come so quickly and timely?
The last time at the escort agency with Qi Shengyuan was also...
Too many coincidences, it's no longer a coincidence.
The moon has quietly hidden in the clouds, and the sky outside is dotted with stars. The night air is cool as water.
Song Jue took the opportunity to slip in and called Song Chuyi back to rest: "It's not worth waiting, the Crown Prince said that there are also scattered Tartar bandits lurking in the suburbs of Beijing, almost startling the prince's carriage...... Now the son-in-law is discussing with his father and the Crown Prince, it will definitely take some time. You've been busy all day and you're tired too, go back and rest. Whatever happens can be said tomorrow."
Whether it was her useless self from her past life or her useful self in this life, to Song Jue, they seemed no different.
He never decided his attitude towards her because of how much she was worth.
Song Chuyi smiled and nodded, telling him to drink less wine, then led Qingtao and Hongyu to the backyard.
Madam Xu had been anxiously waiting for a long time, and only now that she saw Song Chuyi did she let out the breath she was holding in her throat. Although Song Chuyi wasn't as close to her as she was to Madam Xu, she was still good to her; after serving Old Lady Song for so many years, she knew what was proper.
"The bed has been made, you can go take a bath and rest early after that. It's almost midnight. Permits' aunt looked at her and saw that her complexion was normal, so she put down some of the unease in her heart and said: "I'll be keeping watch in the outer room tonight."
Song Chuyi nodded, although they had the upper hand in the battle just now, but after all, it was the first time to see so many deaths and injuries with their own eyes. It's fake to say that there is no shock and fear. She was actually scared out of a cold sweat.
At this moment, Mrs. Xi picked it up, and she felt a little uncomfortable with sweat on her back.
Qing Tao took the soap and towel, tested the water temperature before serving Song Chuyi to bathe. She asked with some confusion: "Why did Madam Xu seem to have no attitude?"
Song Chuyi's attitude was so clear in the morning, but by evening it seemed like she didn't care anymore.
This is the way Xiu Niang treated Old Lady Song for decades, being loyal to you doesn't mean she has to kneel in front of you and bare her heart.
Song Chuyi smiled and shook her head: "She has already made her attitude clear."
At this moment when the situation is so unstable, by saying that she would take turns keeping watch with her tonight, Madam Yu has already made it clear that she would advance and retreat together with her. This was Madam Yu's response.
Mentioning this, Song Chuyi couldn't help but feel a little downhearted. After all, her maternal grandparents' home was really too far away, thousands of miles away, and distant water can't quench present thirst.
Everything she has now is attached to the Song family. If she doesn't quickly become powerful, there won't even be anyone to send news to her in Jinzhong.
Qingtao comforted her, "Don't worry, miss. Ye Er Ye has already agreed to help us. Once my father delivers the message to Jinzhong tomorrow, everything will be fine."
It's all right as long as the Cui family knows the truth and is willing to take the lead.
Song Chuyi put on her clothes and came out of the clean room, only to see Xu Ayi coming up to her with a not-so-good-looking face: "Miss, Chen Miss has arrived, saying that she wants to thank you."
Mrs. Xu didn't quite like Chen's attitude, originally she had many opportunities to thank her, but not a word was mentioned. Now that the Crown Prince has arrived, she came in a hurry, who doesn't know what kind of thoughts she has?
Hong Yu also figured out the trick, and couldn't help but grit her teeth and smile: "This Miss Chen is also from a noble family, how can she be so ignorant of etiquette? When I brought her in this morning, I didn't even hear her say a word of thanks, why is she thanking me now?"
In the evening, you can't go to someone else's home as a guest, don't you even understand this little rule?
"Or else, let's just tell her to take a break, it's almost midnight, if we continue like this, will we still be able to sleep tonight?"
Song Chuyi didn't hesitate and waved her hand with a smile: "Of course we'll see him, since he's come all the way here with such good intentions."
It doesn't matter who she is angry with, what matters is that her grandfather is the current Assistant Minister, in charge of the Ducha Yuan.
Just as Secretary Chen was about to take the stage, how could they not treat his granddaughter well?
"It's so late, and yet you're still disturbing my sister, it's really not right." Miss Chen looked like a lady from a painting, with eyebrows that didn't need to be painted and lips that were naturally red. A small mole between her eyebrows added to her beauty, and her almond-shaped eyes sparkled as she glanced around, making people feel drawn to her at first sight.
Song Chuyi also hurriedly stood up with a smile to greet her, while signaling someone to serve tea and laughing: "This morning should have sent someone to find sister, wanted to ask if there's anything lacking or missing at sister's place, but later on one thing after another came together and it slipped my mind. Please don't blame me, sister."
Miss Chen heard this and couldn't help but take another look at Song Chuyi with an expressionless face.
The girls from the aristocratic families in the capital were mostly well-educated and eloquent, which was nothing unusual. What was unusual was that Miss Song Liu emitted an aura that was completely different from ordinary noble ladies. Despite her young age, she handled things with a maturity and meticulousness that did not seem excessive or overly enthusiastic, nor was it excessively humble. She had a sense of propriety in her words and actions, and was interesting to talk to, unlike any other girl she had met.
What's more, she has a pair of eyes like jade, and her eyelashes are like a small fan, flashing and shining, setting off her exceptionally beautiful eyes, making people feel not only a few points of goodwill but also adding a few points of fondness.
It is said that the old lady of Changning Bo's mansion can teach girls, and now it seems that she is indeed famous for her teachings.
Miss Chen suppressed her thoughts and wore a warm smile on her face: "Where? My younger sister is so kind to take in my brother and me, we are already grateful beyond words. It's just that since there are no elders present, I didn't dare to visit and thank you rashly, fearing it would be too sudden for my younger sister. Just now I heard that Uncle Song has also arrived, thinking that I should go and thank him, but unfortunately, he happened to have gone out on an errand..."
