Reborn to raise a baby, Princess Heng has become stronger

Meng Yunshang finally decided to meet Meng Shuyao.

She asked Dangui to take the person to the front hall and she would arrive later.

Danqiu reminded her with some concern, "I heard that General Song's family suffered a lot in Jingzhao Prefecture, and was taken back by the Song family. I am worried that the eldest lady is here to ask for punishment, so you should be careful, Princess."

Meng Yunshang frowned slightly, "Did Song Jinyan suffer in Jingzhao Prefecture?"

"General Song was unwilling to admit his identity at first, so Jingzhao Prefecture interrogated him as a vagrant. Later, they couldn't stand it anymore, so they sent someone to deliver a message to the Song family."

"But who would have thought that Madam Song was certain that the messenger was a liar. Not only did she kick him out, she also misunderstood that the eldest daughter was colluding with outsiders and ruining her son's reputation. As a result of this, General Song stayed in Jingzhao Prefecture for several days."

Danqiu said as he looked at Meng Yunshang's expression.

Afraid that she would find out that Song Jinyan was suffering, he couldn't wait to rush to offer her warmth.

Fortunately, after listening to it, Meng Yunshang just nodded thoughtfully.

"Let's go to the front hall and see what Meng Shuyao wants to tell me."

Danqiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Thinking of Lu Ming's previous instructions, he silently promoted his presence for Lu Chenxiao.

"The prince asked the kitchen to prepare lamb ribs. How would you like to eat it, princess?"

"One clear stew for Huai'an and the prince, and one spicy red soup according to my habit."

After saying this, Danqiu looked smiling.

She raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's wrong?"

Dan Qiu chuckled, "As expected, the prince really understands the princess. He said you must make red soup, and he even asked the kitchen to prepare vermicelli and seasonal vegetables."

Meng Yunshang nodded seriously, "He has indeed changed."

Becoming more shameless than before!

Palace Front Hall

Meng Shuyao sat on the chair hesitantly. There were exquisite snacks and fruits on the small table beside her, but she had no appetite to eat. From time to time, she would tug at the corner of her clothes with her hand.

As if this would make her feel more comfortable.

Seeing that half an hour had passed, Meng Yunshang still hadn't shown up. She couldn't help but ask Dangui, "Why hasn't your princess come yet?"

Dan Gui explained seriously, "The princess got up a little late today and will come over after breakfast. Miss, please wait a little longer."

"Get up at this hour for breakfast?"

Meng Shuyao never thought that Meng Yunshang was late because she got up late and was eating breakfast.

She couldn't help but frown and think. The noble families all emphasized visiting their parents every morning and evening, and children had to pay their respects to their elders every day.

When she was in the Shangshu Mansion, she would get up early every day to pay her respects to Cheng, and then go back to her own yard to read or do needlework.

Although Meng Yunshang does not have to visit her parents morning and night, as the mistress of the royal palace, is she even lazier than unmarried girls?

Dan Gui nodded calmly, "Yes, the prince said that the princess was tired last night, and specifically told us not to disturb the princess and wait until she has had enough sleep before getting up."

Meng Shuyao said softly, and subconsciously clenched the handkerchief with her fingers in her sleeve.

Were you tired last night?

She is not an innocent girl and thinks too much.

But before returning to the capital, she had asked someone to inquire about the situation in Prince Heng's mansion, and the news she got was that Prince Heng and the princess were at loggerheads.

Why is what Dangui said a little different now?

Did she miss some useful information, or was Dangui not telling the truth and deliberately fooling her?

At this time, a maid's voice came from outside the hall to greet them. Dangui also stepped forward quickly and bowed, "Princess."

Meng Shuyao quickly stood up and stood in front of Dangui, smiling and greeting Meng Yunshang who was walking slowly towards her, "Shang'er, you are finally here."

Meng Yunshang walked lightly towards the main seat, and after taking her seat, she smiled and replied, "Mrs. Song, long time no see."

The word "Mrs. Song" widened the distance between the two of them.

The smile on Meng Shuyao's face froze suddenly. She slowly retracted her outstretched hand and tugged at the corner of her clothes out of habit.

"Mrs. Song, please take a seat!"

Danqiu pointed to the seat next to her which was still warm.

Meng Shuyao sat back in her chair and looked at Meng Yunshang, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

Danqiu handed the brewed tea to Meng Yunshang, turned around and asked Meng Shuyao with a faint smile, "Mrs. Song came to see our princess today, but what difficulties will you encounter after returning to the capital?"

These words clearly treated her as a poor relative who was begging for money. Meng Shuyao felt embarrassed when she heard this and quickly waved her hands.

"You misunderstood. I just haven't seen Shang'er for a long time and I missed her very much. So as soon as I returned to the capital, I couldn't wait to come here to reminisce about the past."

As soon as she finished speaking, Dan Gui asked quickly, "Since we are here to reminisce about the past, why didn't you bring some Northwest specialties for our princess?"

"..."

Meng Shuyao was caught off guard and was stumped by the question.

If she came to ask for money, no one would blame her for not bringing a gift, but if she came to reminisce about the past, it would be inappropriate for her to come empty-handed.

If it got out, people would just laugh at her for being petty and not presentable. And she couldn't stand hearing such talk.

So in order to prove that she was reminiscing about the past, Meng Shuyao prepared to take off the jade bracelet on her hand.

But Meng Yunshang stopped her, "No need, just say whatever you want to say."

Meng Yunshang spoke in a casual tone, as if everything was normal.

But to Meng Shuyao, it sounded like a loud slap in the face.

Yes, Meng Yunshang is now the Princess of Heng. She can have any jade bracelet she wants. Why would she be interested in a jade bracelet that is not very watery?

She used to be a concubine’s daughter and could not compare to Meng Yunshang, who was born a legitimate daughter.

Now she is the wife of a fifth-rank military general, while Meng Yunshang has long been the princess of the Yuan Dynasty, married to Prince Heng, who is of the same mother as the current emperor.

There is a gap between her and Meng Yunshang that can never be crossed.

The strong sense of inferiority made Meng Shuyao want to bury her head in her chest, and her ten fingers were tightly clenched around the handkerchief in her hand.

"Shang'er, are you still blaming me for what happened five years ago? You know, I have never dared to disobey my father's orders. He asked me to marry A'yan and I could only..."

Meng Yunshang interrupted her statement in a light tone, "How have you been these years?"

Meng Shuyao smiled miserably, "I grew up in the capital, and when I first moved to the northwest, I got seriously ill due to the unfamiliar climate. It took me half a year to recover."

"Because I'm not used to the strong winds and cold weather there, I often don't dare to go out, and I don't have many friends there. But fortunately, Ayan accompanies me every day, and we also have a smart and lovely daughter. He and my daughter have been with me through all these years."

Meng Yunshang sighed, "No wonder after so many years, Song Jinyan is still in the position of General Dingyuan."

In the Yuan Dynasty, General Dingyuan held the fifth rank.

It seems very impressive, but Cheng Yao, who joined the army at about the same time as Song Jinyan, was awarded the third-rank Yunhui General as early as last year.

Even his cousin Cheng Hui, who was two years younger than him, had already risen to the rank of General Mingwei, a fourth-rank official.

However, Song Jinyan still holds the same official title as he did five years ago, with no improvement at all.

"It's not that Ayan doesn't want to work hard, it's just that the situation in the northwest is too complicated."

Meng Yunshang curled her lips and sneered, "Can it be more complicated than what you guys are doing privately?"

Meng Shuyao's eyes widened and she cried out in shock, "Shang'er, what are you talking about? What do you mean by private dealings? A'yan and I are innocent."

Meng Yunshang spoke with a cold expression, "On the night of my uncle's birthday, you took advantage of me being drunk and made an appointment at the rockery in the general's mansion..."

"You're talking nonsense!" Meng Shuyao turned pale with fright.

How did Meng Yunshang know about this?
