"Song Qingyu, how dare you!"

Imperial Concubine Chen sat upright.

Song Qingyu was originally seated on the lower seat. Hearing Imperial Concubine Chen's anger, she immediately knelt down and greeted him.

"Please calm your anger, Qingyu doesn't dare."

"You don't dare? You don't dare, but you say you'll embarrass me in front of the empress dowager again? What about the tea? It's obvious that you're just teasing me! "

Song Qingyu earnestly lowered his head, "How dare this humble one tease the Empress. I'm not sure of the situation above either. This humble girl thought that the empress dowager would hold up the reward, but didn't know, so she only lightly opened it. "

"So you're saying that I'm ignorant!"

Imperial Concubine Chen knocked on the table as he read the letter from the Song Residence. It said that Song Qingyu was cunning beyond words, and it seemed that he was right!

Song Qingyu's eyes lit up, noticing the letter, he knew that it was sent by First Madam. The First Madam had long relied on his identity as the direct daughter of the Zhenguo Mansion to secretly form an alliance with the Imperial Concubine Chen.

"This humble girl does not dare. If Imperial Concubine Chen insists on punishing us for this, although this humble girl will not accept it, she can only accept the punishment! "

"You! You clearly know that I won't punish you! "

Peng! The teacup that was smashed beside Song Qingyu emitted a clear sound. Song Qingyu did not feel the slightest bit of fear.

The more Imperial Concubine Chen saw, the angrier he became.

"You are just a little peasant girl, don't think about climbing the dragon and phoenix! Do you think you can intimidate the Empress Dowager just by fawning on her? You are underestimating me. If I want to crush you to death, it will be as easy as flipping my hand! "

Song Qingyu's eyes lit up as he looked up to the Imperial Concubine Chen. "What the Empress says is true. This commoner was insignificant, but what about the arranged marriage? Could Imperial Concubine Chen crush this imperial edict like she wanted to pinch me to death! "

It was only then that Imperial Concubine Chen noticed the determination in Song Qingyu's eyes.

"You!" He opened his mouth but was speechless.

He was so angry that he grabbed a cup of tea from the table with his right hand. Only then did he remember that he had smashed the teacup with his own hands. He got even angrier.

With sharp eyes, Song Qingyu got up and slowly poured tea for the Imperial Concubine Chen before respectfully nodding and passing it over, "Empress, A Yu did not have any intentions of offending you. However, this marriage is an imperial edict. "

When mentioning the imperial edict, Imperial Concubine Chen had no choice but to tolerate it and change his attitude to talk to Song Qingyu.

"Why are you talking about the imperial edict? It's been more than ten years." His Majesty might have already forgotten about it. "

Song Qingyu raised his eyebrows slightly, "But Imperial Concubine Chen did not forget, the Song Manor did not forget, and neither did the jade pendant bestowed upon you, Imperial Concubine Chen said, is it?"

Imperial Concubine Chen's gaze hardened. From the time she entered the palace until now, it was the first time she had been threatened by a little girl. "Are you threatening me?"

"This humble one does not dare, but Imperial Concubine Chen should know that this is an imperial edict. I know that mother must have looked for the Empress, and mother's words were pleasant to hear. But then again, do you want to deceive the Imperial Concubine Chen and bully the monarch together? "

As she spoke, Song Qingyu gave a light glance at Imperial Concubine Chen and saw her sharp eyes changed slightly.

Song Qingyu slowly knelt back down and continued: "If you don't bully the sovereign, then you must block my mouth. But if you block my mouth, then this marriage contract of mine will be annulled. Why must you be so troublesome? I am not weaker than Song Yiyan, and I promise not to interfere with Seventh Prince's marriage to concubine to consolidate my status. In the eyes of other people, I am just a peasant girl who is not worthy of the Seventh Prince. And the Empress has also gained a good reputation. "

Song Qingyu spoke as if he was doing his best to protect the Imperial Concubine Chen.

Imperial Concubine Chen raised his eyebrows, "Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. You wouldn't be so kind, and others wouldn't easily pull you down. "

"Just because the Empress knows me doesn't mean that others don't know me. They would be like moths flying into a fire. This was exactly what the Imperial Concubine Chen wanted. If he were to marry Song Yiyan, the pressure of Zhenguo Mansion would be too great. Who would dare to marry her? Seventh Prince would also be wary. Isn't it? "

Imperial Concubine Chen knocked lightly on the table. He seemed to be deep in thought.

He originally thought that a little girl could be easily fooled, but to think that she would be such a stubborn person.

The right side of the screen suddenly shook.

"What you said makes sense. Let me think about it. "Let's go down first."

Song Qingyu glanced at the screen from the corner of his eyes, then started to leave.

When Song Qingyu's figure disappeared, the Reverend Mother Yue came out from the screen, "The prince is back."

Imperial Concubine Chen sighed lightly, "What a coincidence."

"Does the Empress really believe her?"

"As soon as she raised her eyelids, I knew what she was thinking. She had schemed several times on the First Madam s to send the letter from the Song Palace. Once Lin Yuzhen marries her, she will be even more unafraid. Marry the concubine, hmph! She would never let the concubine live. Furthermore, she actually threatened me! "

"Then according to the Empress's intentions?"

"Isn't she currently at my Regeneration Palace? I have a way to deal with her. He had to make her lose all of her reputation before she managed to attract the attention of the emperor! Just a moment ago, how pleased was she with herself?

A trace of hatred flashed across Imperial Concubine Chen's eyes as he beckoned him over.

Reverend Mother Yue turned his head to listen, he nodded his head and smiled. Just now, she had suffered a loss to Song Qingyu and the anger in her heart had yet to dissipate.

"Esteemed Empress, this is my humble servant's opinion. Against this kind of unruly girl, I must not show mercy ?"

"Alright, alright, we'll do as you say. Hurry up and prepare."

After the tea feast, most of the young ladies that were invited were sent back to the residence. Only Mu Xin was Imperial Concubine Chen's niece and she was left behind.

Just as Mu Peier got on the carriage in front of the Regeneration Palace door, he thought of something and turned his head around to pull Mu Xin's hand who was below him.

"Good elder sister, you can't let that slut off so easily. "She's just a peasant girl, why would she dare to compete with her elder sister?"

"Alright, hurry up and go back. I know what I'm doing. "

"Elder sister, how could you be so patient? You've been bullied to this extent. "As you wish, but it's best if you don't fall into my hands, otherwise I will definitely teach her a lesson!"

Mu Xin shook his head, "Don't be too impulsive. She had no intention of snatching it from me either. Don't think about it. "Go back and properly learn your embroidery. After the new year, if you still haven't finished your embroidery, mother will not let you off."

Mu Peier flung her hand away, extremely dissatisfied with Mu Xin. Ye Zichen got into the carriage angrily.

Song Qingyu walked out of the side hall and happened to encounter Mu Xin being escorted by a group returning from the Regeneration Palace entrance. Mu Xin smiled lightly and quickly stepped forward to hold Song Qingyu's hand.

"Sister Qingyu, your technique just now was really amazing. It was as if you were performing a magic trick. Can you make me acknowledge you as my teacher?"

Mu Xin laughed loudly as he opened his watery eyes.

Song Qingyu could not see through the little girl at first glance, "I usually stay in the Song Residence."

"It doesn't matter, as long as you enter the palace you can teach me. Imperial Concubine Chen is my aunt, I come here often, so as long as you enter the palace, you can send me a message. Is my sister repulsed? "

Since she said so, it was obviously to put her in a situation of injustice.

Song Qingyu did not want to cause unnecessary trouble anyways, so he raised his eyebrows and smiled, pretending that he did not understand, "How could that be? As long as little sister is not afraid of being tired and does not think that I am strict."

"Thank you, Master!"

Mu Xin's voice was clear and pleasant to hear. In her arms was a small stove. She wore a snow-white woolen cloak over a jade-green cloud-patterned bamboo dress, and in the sunlight, she was bright and beautiful.

"No need to call me master. I'm not really a master if I give you guidance."

"Then... Thank you, sister. Big sister, you are amazing. Let's go learn it now. "

Song Qingyu wanted to find a place to rest and get caught by her to learn tea. At this time, Reverend Mother Yue suddenly called out from behind.

"My two misses, just now Imperial Concubine Chen heard from the palace maid that the imperial garden's Plum Blossom had bloomed, and invited the two misses to come visit the garden together."
