Quick Wear: The Stunning Beauty is Forbidden to Be Pampered

"Your Highness, speaking of this matter, I am really ashamed. My sister did such a despicable thing and brought shame to the Song family. Father was very angry because of this."

Although Song Lingyu was full of jealousy, she followed her mother and was influenced by her mother. Naturally, she learned to say one thing and do another and was good at acting.

Her face was full of disapproval of Song Lingxi's actions. In fact, she was very anxious and wished that she was the one who could gain the favor of the Three Thousand Emperors.

Xiao Heng was indeed intrigued by her words, or rather, he wanted to understand Concubine Ling in the palace. Knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle. If you want to kill the enemy, you must first understand him.

He took the initiative to hold Song Lingyu's hand, clasped their fingers together, and seemed to comfort her, attentively soothing Song Lingyu's little emotions.

"Yu'er, you don't have to worry about this kind of person. In my heart, you are you and will not be affected by her."

Song Lingyu was surprised by Xiao Heng's gentle action. She was flattered at first, and then her heart was deeply moved. When she looked at Xiao Heng, her eyes were shining with little stars and full of admiration.

"Your Highness, thank you for your tolerance. I will serve you well and repay your kindness."

Xiao Heng nodded with satisfaction. Seeing Song Lingyu's admiration for him, he knew that now was the time to win her heart, so he began to ask subtle questions.

"Yu'er was brought up so well by my father-in-law. I am so lucky to marry her."

Xiao Heng first praised Song Lingyu to let her guard down, then suddenly changed the subject and mentioned Song Lingxi.

"However, how come your elder sister would disregard propriety and shame, and even after getting married, she could not live peacefully and even seduced the emperor? How could there be such a big difference between sisters?"

Song Lingyu was still immersed in Xiao Heng's rare thoughtfulness until he asked about Song Lingxi. Then Song Lingyu suddenly came to her senses and realized that Xiao Heng had other intentions.

"Your Highness, when my sister was still at home, she refused to obey the discipline of her father and mother and often contradicted them, causing great distress to her parents."

Although Song Lingyu didn't know what Xiao Heng's purpose was, she didn't want Xiao Heng to have a good impression of Song Lingxi, so she kept belittling her.

"My father loved my sisters very much and hired a female teacher to teach them needlework, music, chess, calligraphy and painting. But my sister was always lazy and didn't learn anything."

"You mean that Concubine Ling has no special skills and no filial piety?"

As Xiao Heng listened, he pictured in his mind a rude, stupid, and foolish idiot, and his brows furrowed.

"I have never heard of such an ignorant woman in the world."

"It's just that I am really worried. Yu'er, you know that Concubine Ling has been very favored since she entered the palace. Now, I have heard that Concubine Ling is pregnant."

"What!"

It was rare for Song Lingyu to lose her composure. She certainly knew what this meant to her. She married Xiao Heng because he might inherit the throne.

Otherwise, the eldest princess looked down on her in every way, and Xiao Heng often went out to have fun behind her back. She was not willing to marry such a man!

She twisted her hands that were holding the handkerchief and frowned tightly. She no longer had the calmness and composure she had just now. Her face looked extremely ugly.

Song Lingyu has a big secret. She traveled from the 21st century. This is a novel. I heard that the author finished the story badly and no one read it after Emperor Xiao Jin died.

She remembered this incident vividly, so she tried every means to marry the next emperor, now Xiao Heng.

She thought she was sitting on the safe side, but unexpectedly she encountered huge waves and her boat capsized. What did she mean by pregnancy? Why didn't she remember that Emperor Xiao Jin had any other heirs?

"This is impossible!"

"What's impossible? Yu'er?"

Song Lingyu's mumbling was heard by Xiao Heng. Seeing Song Lingyu's somewhat extreme reaction, he asked hurriedly.

"Yu'er, why are you reacting so strongly? Concubine Ling is pregnant, which should be a good thing for the Song family, right?"

Xiao Heng was considering his family. Generally speaking, the former dynasty and the harem are closely related, and the family is supposed to support their daughter and provide her with the best education.

The family sent their daughters to the palace so that they could find out the emperor's intentions. If someone in the family was convicted, they could plead for mercy. If they were favored, the emperor might really reduce the crime.

Secondly, if the concubine becomes pregnant, or even inherits the throne, the family can gain huge benefits. In other words, a third-rate family may become the number one family in the capital in one fell swoop.

Xiao Heng's words were both a test and a warning. He didn't want the person he married to always be sympathetic to her family.

"I, I am just a little confused. My sister is pregnant. Who is this child..."

Song Lingyu just paused for a moment and quickly found an excuse. She didn't believe that the child was Xiao Jin's. After all, Xiao Jin didn't have any children in the novel.

Her thoughts coincided with Xiao Heng's. He was also confused. Others might not believe Song Lingyu's suspicions, but Xiao Heng did.

However, he was not stupid enough to say it out loud. Instead, he reminded himself quietly. Although he seemed to be thinking and talking to himself, he was actually speaking to Song Lingyu.

"Yes, the Emperor said that the good news has just been three months. However, if it was just three months, why would he announce it so hastily? If it was three and a half months, that would make sense."

"Three and a half months, that's when the Emperor took my sister as his concubine. Your Highness, there must be something fishy going on!"

Song Lingyu was fooled as expected. She quickly pointed out the problem. However, although she guessed so, she had no basis for her speculation and had no way to obtain any evidence.

"Yu'er, why don't you go to the palace to visit Concubine Ling first? You two sisters haven't seen each other for a long time, so you should keep in touch with each other."

Xiao Heng did suddenly come up with a good idea. Someone had to go and pay a visit to Concubine Ling to find out the truth.

He felt that Song Lingyu was the best candidate, as she would not be out of place and would not make the emperor think that the Princess's Mansion had ulterior motives.

However, Xiao Heng didn't know that Song Lingxi had already broken off relations with the Song family a long time ago. Not to mention sending Song Lingyu there, even if Song Liwen, the old father, went there in person, he would not be able to see her.

Song Lingyu felt Xiao Heng's expectant gaze, and she agreed reluctantly. When she saw Xiao Heng's smiling face rise in an instant, she felt relieved.

It seems that she has to go to this palace, but she doesn't know if she can get in.

Sure enough, when he saw Song Lingyu nodded obediently, Xiao Heng breathed a sigh of relief. His eyes became softer. It seemed that his wife was still useful and he had made the right decision to marry her.

"Yu'er, thank you for your hard work. It's still early. I'll go and submit the memorial to the palace for you."

"So fast?"

Song Lingyu suddenly pulled back her hand, clenched both hands together, the handkerchief in her hand was twisted into a mess, and her smile seemed a little forced.

"Your Highness..., so soon? Do I need you to prepare anything?"
