The Sixth Princess had not seen her since Consort Shu was sent to the cold palace.
“Mother Consort.”
The Sixth Princess choked and flung herself at the bed, her large belly almost hitting the bed, Sun Jin’s heart lifted, they had been married for several years and it was so hard to have a child.
She hadn’t seen her daughter for years, so she was overcome with grief and hugged the Sixth Princess, crying again.
Sun Jin knew that the mother and daughter were having a hard time, if it were in the past, they would have cried as long as they wanted, but now the Sixth Princess is pregnant, in case her grief hurts her child, “Princess, Your Highness, please be patient.”
She stopped crying, took her daughter’s hand and told her to sit down, and looked at Sun Jin, “I haven’t seen my daughter for a long time, I want to talk to her, wait in the flower room.”
Sun Jin answered and withdrew.
Concubine Shu gave Wu Jin a wink, and Wu Jin accompanied her out.
Consort Shu and the Sixth Princess were left in the room.
Consort Shu put her hand on the Sixth Princess’ stomach, her voice hoarse, “Is there anything wrong with you?”
At the mention of the baby, the sadness in Princess Six’s heart receded a little, “He is very obedient and never messes with me.”
“You’ve been married for several years, it’s not easy to have a child, take more care of your body.”
“My daughter knows.”
After instructing her some more, Consort Shu turned to her words, “I remember that the sidekick and Song Si were good friends, do they still see each other nowadays?”
If she hadn’t been pregnant before, Princess Shu would have been suspicious if she had asked so abruptly, but now she was so focused on the baby in her belly that she didn’t think too much about it, “Yes, the horse harnessed by the side of the team still has frequent get-togethers with him.”
“Frequent?”
“Once or twice a month, and every time the harnessed horse comes back he’s happy.”
The Sixth Princess understood that it was not easy for the horse’s sidekick, that people did not look up to him, and that those who did looked up to him were those who wanted to benefit themselves through his connections, but only Song Si was sincere in treating him well.
She didn’t ask any more questions and said something else before urging her to go back.
……
Song Yin and Song Wan Yue went to the Duke of Zhen’s residence.
The gatekeeper did not recognise Song Yin, but recognised Song Wan Yue and led them straight in.
Shen Ya was playing in the courtyard accompanied by her maid, and when she saw them, she immediately ran over cheerfully, “Uncle Song, sister Song.”
Song Wangyue squatted down and picked her up in her arms, scratching her little nose, “Did you miss sister?”
Shen Ya’s little head nodded happily, “Yes, very, very much.”
When Ming heard the commotion and came out, she saw Song Yin, her eyes widened in shock, “Lieutenant Song, why have you come to the capital? Is something wrong?”
“Madam.”
Song Yin saluted her as if he was at the border, “Don’t worry, it’s nothing serious, it’s just that the enemy attacked after you left and I hurt my arm, so I shouldn’t stay in the barracks anymore.”
Ming covered her mouth.
She knew of Song Yin’s talent, not only had Shen Yan always praised it, even the generals who went to the general’s residence were also full of praise, such a person with a talent for leading soldiers had to leave the barracks, his sadness could be imagined.
“Madam need not be sad for me ……”, Song Yin’s gaze fell on Song Wan Yue, all loving affection in it, “I am also considered blessed by the disaster, Yue’er agreed to my marriage proposal, big brother and Xu family uncle also agreed. ”
“Uncle Song, what is a marriage proposal?”
Shen Ya asked curiously with a crooked little head.
Song Yin also flexed his fingers and scratched her little nose, the same action as Song Wan Yue had just done, “To ask for a marriage is to beg your sister Song to marry me and be my wife.”
“I know, just like father and mother.”
“Ya’er is so smart.”
Song Wangyue stroked her little head appreciatively.
“That’s wonderful.”
Ming was happy for them from the bottom of her heart; she had long felt that the two were a match made in heaven.
Song Yin went to see the Duke of Zhen and gave him Shen Yan’s letter.
Song Wan Yue played with Shen Ya.
Half an hour later the two left and went hand in hand to the Xu family.
……
Ten days later, the third prince’s consort returned to the capital with her son, and with them came the third prince’s staff.
Halfway through the journey several of the staff members were announced to the palace.
The Emperor sat high in his chair, majestic and stern.
They trembled in their hearts and knelt on the ground after three obeisances, not daring to raise their heads.
“Why did the Third Prince suddenly come to Wuji County?”
One of the staff members shook his voice, “In reply to Your Majesty’s words, the Third Prince is here to hunt down Song Yin.”
“Song Yin?”
“Yes, Song Yin injured his left arm on the battlefield and left the military camp to come to the capital, His Highness got the news that he was afraid that he had taken the opportunity to escape, so he led his men to chase after him, but he was unexpectedly killed, Your Majesty, please take revenge for His Highness!”
“Song Yin has come to the capital?”
“I think so, Your Highness guessed that he came to look for Song Wangyue.”
“Huang De!”
Eunuch Huang bowed.
“Send someone to check.”
Eunuch Huang retreated.
Only then did the Emperor sweep these staff members, “Where is Mr. Big?”
It was the same staff member who answered back, “He left after learning the news of His Highness’s murder, saying that he was going to travel the world.”
“You are tired from the journey back, go out of the palace and remember not to spread the news of today’s visit to the palace.”
“Yes.”
As soon as they stepped out of the palace door, they were covered by someone and dragged away like dead dogs.
Inside the palace, the emperor’s face was grim, and his hand on the table was sinewy, he wanted to cut Song Yin to pieces and throw him to the dogs.
Song Yin and Song Wan Yue also got the news at the same time.
The two of them were not alarmed and continued to do what they had to do, going shopping together, going to the shops together, going to the Xu family together, going back to South City together, completely inseparable.
The news quickly spread throughout the capital, and the Second Prince also heard the news. He was curious about Song Yin, and after sending someone to inquire about him, he found out that he had returned from the border.
Naturally, the First Prince also knew about it.
These days he is having trouble sleeping and eating, he always feels that his second brother has done something ahead of him and has caught the eye of his father, he needs to recruit more talents and suppress them.
“Go and invite Xu Yan over, and don’t let anyone find out.”
The second prince was more direct and had someone send a message to Song Wangyue to meet her at that mansion, asking her to bring Song Yin with her.
“Bait and switch.”
Song Wan Yue’s eyebrows were all smiles, this was the effect they wanted, as long as both the First Prince and Second Prince wanted to draw Song Yin in, when the Emperor was in trouble both of them would step in to help.
Song Si breathed a long sigh of relief, and the heart he had carried for many days finally fell back, instructing the two of them, “No matter which prince you are in contact with, don’t take it lightly.”
The two men nodded and went to the mansion.
The second prince arrived a quarter of an hour early, and when the people entered, he stood up and assumed a posture of courtesy and virtue.
“Greetings, Your Highness.”
Song Yin saluted without being subservient.
