Jinzhi was quite surprised when she saw Song Tangning. She had been with the queen for many years and could be regarded as watching Song Tangning grow up.
Although this young lady from the Song family was born in a noble family, she was raised like a bird in a cage.
When Grand Tutor Rong was still there in her early years, she could still see some wantonness on her body, but as she grew older, she was only gentle and obedient after being bound by rules.
But now I haven't seen each other for only a few months. Although the girl in front of me still has the same face, her almond eyes that always lowered their eyebrows have faded . Although she is respectful when facing the female official next to her, she no longer looks like her. It's as eager as before.
Jinzhi felt a little uncomfortable, but he still said warmly: "My lady felt sorry for Miss Song's injury and was worried that you would be tired from working back and forth, so she endured her concern and never summoned you into the palace."
"I finally heard that your injury has improved in the past few days. It happened that the sixth princess' birthday was three days later. The Empress specially asked me to invite you to the palace so that I could see you with my own eyes to make the Empress feel at ease."
The people in the palace have always been so good at speaking. One sentence not only elevated the queen's gentleness and kindness, but also blocked her reason for refusing to enter the palace.
Everyone knows that Song Tangning would be able to send the Duke of Song to prison and torture the Lu family. If Song Tangning said he was sick and refused to enter the palace, he would be resisting the order.
Song Tangning's mind had never been sober, and his eyes were drooping as he crow feathered eyelashes drooped, his expression was full of depression: "I miss the Empress too. The only one in the Lu family is really caring about me, but the wound on my face …"
She bit her lip and felt aggrieved, "In the past, I was confused and obsessed with people who should not be obsessed with. For this reason, I had a crush on many people in the capital without knowing it. The sixth princess' birthday party was the noble girl in the capital. , everyone dressed up and looked beautiful , but my face was mottled. As long as I thought about how to laugh at them, I would like to die immediately."
Jinzhi's face changed slightly and said anxiously : "Madam, don't talk nonsense. Who dares to laugh at you if you have the Empress..."
"But I don't want people to see me like this."
Since the queen didn't mention the Lu family's affairs at all and had to show off her love for her, Song Tangning just thought she was the wronged and charming little girl.
Her almond eyes were slightly raised and she seemed to have a semi-watery light, and her words were like ordinary people.
"I know that no one dares to laugh at me when the Empress protects me, but look at my face, who wouldn't say something ugly behind my back?"
"I finally saved my life from Mount Jun. Why did I fall to such a sarcastic and sarcastic way for everyone to laugh at me? The Empress loves me so much, so she will definitely not be willing to let me suffer grievances, right?"
The golden branch choked instantly.
Song Tangning raised his chin obediently: "Aunt Jinzhi said to the Queen, Tang Ning didn't want to startle the Queen with her ugly face. Tang Ning received her concern for Tang Ning . After my injury healed, she would immediately enter the palace to thank the Queen for her care. ."
The flower hall was very quiet for a moment. Not to mention Jinzhi 's words , even the two palace servants who came with Jinzhi were stunned.
This was the first time they saw someone who dared to reject the Queen.
Even though Jinzhi was stupid , she noticed the unfairness hidden under Song Tangning's seemingly respectful face. The originally warm face on her face became restrained: "Miss Song, I am just here to pass the imperial edict on behalf of the Empress, and I have no right to change the Empress Will."
"So it's the imperial edict?"
Song Tangning's eyes rippled with ripples: "Why didn't Aunt Jinzhi say earlier? I'm still the queen because I care about me and I'm more worried about my injuries, but I just want to see me. If Aunt Jinzhi comes, Just say it was an imperial edict, how dare Tang Ning speak more?"
She just had to tell the queen's hypocrisy clearly.
"Miss Song!" Jinzhi's face suddenly sank.
Song Tangning just raised his eyes calmly: "The Empress treats me well in the past, and I dare not resist the order and refuse to enter the palace. It was only when I broke up with Lu Zhinian and asked the Lu family to return their past greed and left the relics left by my mother and grandfather. The Queen summoned me to the palace."
"If I were intact, no one would talk too much. At most, the Empress would cherish the younger generation and want to make peace, but now my injuries have not healed. Everyone in the capital knows how Lu Zhinian bullied me with the Song family Dalang. My appearance was damaged, and how did the Lu family insult me for many years after their engagement, and wait for the noble daughter of the Rong family and the Duke's Mansion to come to the door to beg for the children."
"Empress knows that there must be guests at the birthday banquet of the Sixth Princess, but she summoned me to the palace with injuries. Tang Ning is not afraid of being embarrassed. At most, she will be mocked about the disgrace of her appearance, but the Empress is kind. Zhixin is afraid that it will be misunderstood. It is reported that she wants to stand up for the Lu family and force me to give in, enduring the previous suffering of bullying from the Lu family. "
Song Tangning followed Xiao Yan day by day, although he could only learn some superficiality, but his sarcastic spirit and poisonous tongue seemed to be similar .
" Tang Ning dared not miss the Queen, what does Aunt Jinzhi think?"
The two palace ladies who accompanied him did not expect that the docile Miss Song, who was once so domineering, would be so bold. They were all generous when they heard this, and one of them shouted angrily.
"Rareless, how dare you speculate on slandering the Empress?!"
Song Tangning raised his eyes and raised his lips: "I just judge others by myself. After all, the Queen loves me, and I can't bear to see her famous."
"you!!"
The person was so angry that he wanted to speak, and Jinzhi stretched out his hand to block it with calm eyes.
The female official who had been immersed in the harem for many years had completely lost her smile. She just looked at Song Tangning and said, "Miss Song, I really love you, why do you have to?"
Song Tangning smiled slightly: "I care about the Empress too."
"Madam Song, do you really want to do this?"
Jinzhi 's eyes suddenly turned cold, and the power accumulated on his body for many years came out, making Hua Wu, who was following him, subconsciously pale his face. Even Song Ru, who was behind a curtain, had a white face and subconsciously wanted to rush out. He was pulled by Princess Cheng and Niang Qin and stopped the movement.
But Song Tangning only felt that Jinzhi, who looked like this, was far inferior to her brother's calmness. Just one look could make people feel cold and resentful as if they were falling into an ice cellar.
One is pretending to be fierce, the other is a fierce evil that comes from the bones, which makes people subconsciously unable to resist obey and bow their heads.
Tang Ning found that he was not afraid of Jinzhi's cold face at all, and he still said in a low voice: "Didn't the Empress have to do this?"
She said the most slashing words in her softest voice .
"If the Empress summoned me to the palace before the Lu family, even after the Lu Mountain, the Empress sent someone to ask me if I was safe, I would definitely not hesitate, but it was after the Lu family."
"The Empress may really only care about me, but it will inevitably add a little suspicion to others. I don't want the Empress to bear the bad reputation. Now the whole capital knows the three-day period between me and the Lu family. It's better to just do it. After Lu Zhinian and the Lu family return all the greedy things from me over the years, I will go to the palace to apologize to the Queen."
"What does Aunt Jinzhi think?"
