The prince kneels every day. Has the princess forgiven him today?

Song Junling suddenly realized!

A ray of light gradually emerged from his dim eyes, and he pounded his fist on his palm. "Yes, Xiwan, what you said makes sense. Why didn't I understand?"

Song Xiwan sighed helplessly.

My eldest brother is a stubborn person. He was like this before and he is like this now.

"Is that why you don't want to talk to the Third Princess?"

When Xie Qingyuan was mentioned, Song Junling's face fell again, and he responded in a muffled voice: "It's not that I don't want to talk to the Third Princess, it's that the Third Princess doesn't have me in her heart."

It turned out that the third princess had been in the capital all along, and he had been looking for her everywhere like a headless fly, worried to the point of being unable to sleep at night. In the end, he was just being wishful thinking.

She is the third princess born to the queen. She has a noble status and must be protected by someone behind the scenes.

And as soon as they met, the third princess looked at him with only surprise, nothing else.

Song Xiwan held his forehead, "Brother, if you like someone, you have to work hard. Otherwise, if you do nothing and wait for the Third Princess to fall head over heels in love with you, is that possible?"

Song Junling was stunned, a blush quietly appeared on his handsome face, and he looked around in panic.

I'm really afraid that someone will hear what my sister said!

Especially the last two sentences. How could an unmarried girl like her say them so easily?

"Keep your voice down!"

"What are you afraid of? There's no one else here."

Song Xiwan is not a reckless person and has carefully observed his surroundings.

Song Junling finally felt relieved. He glanced at his sister and muttered, "How come I didn't know you knew so much about sex?"

Could it be that he has been in contact with King Xuan too much?

This is not possible!

Song Junling's eyes were already showing a trace of worry, and he quickly reminded her, "I'm very happy that you've found someone who shares your feelings, but you still have to be careful and don't go too far."

This made Song Xiwan blush and feel guilty.

Last night, she slept in Prince Xuan's mansion.

Song Xiwan coughed lightly and changed the subject. "I know my limits. I was talking about you, brother, but why are you talking about me? What are you thinking?"

"I, I don't know..."

Song Junling lowered his head and stared at his toes, feeling mixed emotions.

Song Xiwan touched his nose and said, "Then think about it carefully. There's no rush for this matter."

Soong Junling thought so too.

Now that he has passed the imperial examination and become the top scholar, it is far from enough if he wants to protect his family and help the third princess. He also needs to find a good official position and he has to discuss it with his father.

At this time, the news that Song Junling had won the top spot in the imperial examination had spread throughout the capital, including the palace.

Concubine Shen was very angry!

All the expensive porcelain and jade bottles in the room were smashed by her, and the palace maids had no way to clean up the broken pieces, so they could only kneel on the ground and endure her anger.

"Xie Chengqian! How dare he ruin my plans! Not only did he injure Qiang'er a few days ago, and then he took away half of my power, but he also wants to support his man to become the top scholar. It's obvious that he is gradually trying to usurp the throne!"

After hearing such outrageous words, the palace maid trembled uncontrollably.

Concubine Shen has been laughing one moment and getting extremely angry the next these days, making it so difficult for people to breathe.

"Your Highness, calm down. He's just a top scholar, and he doesn't hold any official title. Young Master Song is known for only knowing how to study, so he poses no threat."

Su Xunyao's voice suddenly came from outside the palace gate, speaking caring words as usual.

Only then did Concubine Shen calm down. Qiang'er, the future concubine, was a capable woman who would not disobey her easily, which made her quite satisfied.

Concubine Shen sat down and drank a cup of tea to calm her nerves before asking, "Your wedding is approaching, why do you keep coming to my place?"

Su Xunyao smiled faintly, "I heard that the Imperial Concubine has been quite busy lately, and hasn't been able to take care of food or sleep. Xunyao specially sent someone to ask Divine Doctor Xu for a secret recipe for a calming tea."

Concubine Shen looked at those things and said calmly, "You are thoughtful."

"The Imperial Concubine cares deeply about the Great Xia Kingdom. Xun Yao truly admires her. However, I am not capable enough to share her worries. I can only do some small things for her."

Su Xunyao's humble attitude completely won the favor of Concubine Shen.

This so-called granddaughter of the prime minister, the most talented woman in the capital, still has to be humble in front of her.

Concubine Shen said, "Please sit down."

Su Xunyao sat down, his eyes falling on the fragments beside him, intentionally or unintentionally, and he said secretly, "Your Highness is really something. The Imperial Concubine is the Emperor's bedmate, how could he not understand?"

Concubine Shen snorted coldly, "He wants to ride on my head, but he doesn't know how to weigh his own weight. Sooner or later, he will definitely die!"

The last few words made Su Xunyao's heart tremble, and she couldn't help showing a look of surprise.

This change in expression did not go unnoticed by Noble Concubine Shen. Her elegant face suddenly turned cold, "I do remember that you and Prince Xuan had a close relationship in the past."

Su Xunyao's eyelids twitched, and she quickly lowered her head to deny, "Xunyao didn't, Your Majesty just had more contact with my grandfather."

Noble Concubine Shen, however, did not lose her fierceness at all, and warned coldly, "That's all right. I hate betrayers the most. You must make your position clear."

"Xun Yao will definitely not betray the Imperial Concubine, and Xun Yao is about to marry the Second Prince, so there is absolutely no possibility of this."

Fearing that Concubine Shen would not believe her, Su Xunyao repeatedly promised and confirmed it.

This made Concubine Shen's expression ease a little.

After a moment, Concubine Shen continued, "But your grandfather doesn't think so. Everyone says that Prime Minister Su loves you, his granddaughter, but now it seems that they are just rumors."

Su Xunyao felt deeply hurt when she heard that her grandfather had allowed her to suffer in prison and refused to save her.

They all bullied her!

Since they are unkind, she cannot be blamed for being unjust.

"Grandfather is old and inevitably a little stubborn. If the Imperial Concubine is unhappy, I will definitely persuade him to resign and return home as soon as possible."

Concubine Shen threw her head back and laughed a few times, feeling much happier.

Her eyes were full of admiration. "You are indeed the one chosen by Qiang'er. You have a great vision. When the big things are accomplished in the future, I will not treat you unfairly."

Su Xunyao quickly stood up and saluted, "Xunyao thanks the Imperial Concubine for your kind words."

Concubine Shen was so happy that she rewarded Su Xunyao with some things.

Afterwards, Concubine Shen did not avoid Su Xunyao and sent a message to her spies in the court, saying that this top scholar must not be given an important official position.

Su Xunyao understood that this was a sign of trust in her, but also a test.

She immediately said, "With the Song family's capabilities, they definitely can't fight against the Imperial Concubine. I'm afraid Song Xi will ask Prince Xuan for help in the evening. After all, the two of them..."

They didn't finish their words, but they both knew what was going on.

A gleam of light flashed in Su Xunyao's eyes. If she could use Concubine Shen to kill Song Xiwan, it would be a way to vent her anger.

"Don't worry, this bitch won't live long."

Concubine Shen's murderous intent was evident.

Su Xunyao could not contain her joy, and she said a few nice words to coax Concubine Shen into submission before leaving.

Little did she know that not long after she left, Concubine Shen received a secret letter.

Qi Wei came to the capital in person!
