Quick Transmigration: Seducing the Villain, the Delicate Beauty Becomes His Darling

After the winter solstice, the New Year will be just around the corner. Song Yunzhi changed into festive clothes, and wrapped her fox fur scarf tightly around her neck.

The Empress Dowager suddenly requested to see her, and no one knew why.

When Song's mother came over, she took a special look at her attire. It was quite proper and there was no chance of anything going wrong.

"Mother, is it pretty?" Song Yunzhi opened her arms, her smile bright.

Mother Song reached out and hugged her, gently stroking the back of her head with her palm, and said softly, "My Zhizhi is the most beautiful. In the blink of an eye, she's already a young lady."

"Madam, Miss, it's time to go out," Zhu Cui reminded her from the side, bending down to hang up Song Yunzhi's purse.

Mother Song took her daughter's hand and whispered, "When you see the Empress Dowager, be respectful and courteous, and never displease her."

"I know, mother."

Upon reaching the gate, Song's mother released her hand and said worriedly, "Go on."

Upon entering the palace, Song Yunzhi immediately spotted Princess Xueyue.

"Zhizhi, I've been waiting for you for so long." Xueyue walked over and happily took her hand. "If I hadn't asked my grandmother to summon you to the palace, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to see you until next year."

"Come on, after you've finished paying your respects to the Empress Dowager, come to my place."

Song Yunzhi nodded. "Okay."

At Shou'an Palace, both the Second Prince and the Third Prince were present. After Xueyue led Song Yunzhi to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager, she pulled her aside to have some snacks.

The two pretty young girls were quite eye-catching. The Empress Dowager looked over and said kindly, "Are they the daughters of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel? Come here and let me take a look."

Upon hearing the Empress Dowager's call, Song Yunzhi quickly stood up, bowed, and then stepped forward, saying, "Your Majesty the Empress Dowager."

"She's a nice girl. How old is she?"

"Your Majesty, it will be the sixteenth of March next month," Song Yunzhi replied obediently.

The Empress Dowager nodded in satisfaction, "Has the family started looking for suitable partners?"

The little girl blushed slightly when asked the question and shook her head, "Never."

"I do have someone in mind." The Empress Dowager's gaze swept over the Third Prince below.

Song Yunzhi followed the gaze and met the eyes of the Third Prince, Shen Yue.

"Grandmother, I asked you to invite Zhizhi to the palace to play. Why are you playing matchmaker?" Xueyue leaned over and took the Empress Dowager's hand, acting coquettishly.

The Empress Dowager smiled kindly, "I've arranged a good marriage for your son, but you're not happy about it."

Xueyue hummed twice, without objecting.

The Empress Dowager wasn't in a hurry to decide on the marriage at this moment. She waved her hand and said, "Alright, I'm tired. You can all go and have fun."

"Yes, Grandmother, please rest well." Xueyue immediately pulled Song Yunzhi away.

Song Yunzhi bowed respectfully and turned to leave.

With a kind smile in her eyes, the Empress Dowager looked at the Third Prince below and said, "Yue'er, what do you think of the Song family girl? I think she is a smart and well-behaved girl. You are of age and it is time for you to get married and have children."

The Third Prince nodded and said with a gentle smile, "It's all up to Grandmother to decide."

The Empress Dowager nodded with satisfaction.

After leaving Shou'an Palace, the Second Prince Shen Li gave Shen Yue a cold look and said, "Third Brother, congratulations!"

"Thank you, Second Brother."

Shen Li snorted coldly and left with a flick of his sleeve.

The Imperial Garden was covered in white snow, but the red plum blossoms were in full bloom, each one adorning the branches and emitting a cool, delicate fragrance.

"Zhizhi, do you like my third brother?" Xueyue asked while picking flowers. "If you don't like him, I will ask Grandmother to rescind her decree."

The Empress Dowager's words just now have basically settled the matter. If we don't think it through soon, it will be too late to refuse once word gets out.

The royal family's reputation was of utmost importance, and no one dared to disobey the Empress Dowager's decree.

Song Yunzhi remained silent for a while. This scene also appeared in the plot, but the Song family declined on some pretext, and the marriage did not take place.

But because of this incident, the Second Prince so quickly turned his attention to the Song family, who had not taken sides.

She now has to deal with the Second Prince, at least to prevent him from targeting the Song family.

"My marriage was arranged by my parents and the matchmaker; I left it entirely to them," she replied softly.

Xueyue frowned. "I will definitely find someone I like in the future, and I will not marry just anyone."

"No matter what, you and I are best friends!" Xueyue smiled at her.

Song Yunzhi took her hand and solemnly replied, "Okay."

While changing her clothes, Song Yunzhi avoided the crowd and headed towards the East Palace.

Suddenly a figure darted in front of them, calling out in a flippant tone, "Miss Song!"

Song Yunzhi looked up and saw the Second Prince, Shen Li.

She frowned and took two steps back. "Second Prince."

"My grandmother said she wanted to marry you to my third brother. In my opinion, you would be better off marrying me as a concubine. If you were to ascend the throne in the future, I would grant you the title of Imperial Concubine."

The principle of primogeniture dictates that the eldest son should be chosen as heir. Since the Empress had no sons, the second and third princes were the children of other concubines. The second prince's maternal family was powerful, and he also held the title of his elder brother, so it's no wonder he was so arrogant.

"I urge the Second Prince to show some self-respect." Song Yunzhi lowered her head, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.

She didn't go looking for him, but he came to her on his own.

"I think highly of you, that's why I specially dismissed everyone else and waited for you here. Don't be ungrateful."

Seeing him reach out towards her, Song Yunzhi immediately ran back, her eyes flashing as she caught sight of the lake in the distance.

She pulled out the hairpin and pointed it at him, her legs frozen in place, and threatened in a panic, "Don't come any closer!"

"Run, go ahead, I'd like to see where you can run to." Shen Li laughed, seemingly mocking her overestimation of her abilities.

He lunged at her, but Song Yunzhi suddenly dodged to the side, hurriedly ran away, and bent down to pick up a stone.

Shen Li could swim. He swam around in the lake a few times and then climbed ashore, uttering foul language as he did so.

Once he reached the shore, Song Yunzhi raised a stone, carefully controlling the force, and smashed it down on his head.

It's fortunate that he dealt with the person; otherwise, it would have been so inconvenient to start a fight.

"You...!" Shen Li looked up and glared at her, then closed his eyes and fainted.

After cleaning up the surrounding traces, Song Yunzhi kicked him twice and turned to run towards the East Palace.

She ran while tearing at her clothes, tears streaming down her face.

“Brother.” Song Yunzhi stood by Shen Linyuan’s bedside.

Hearing her soft, tearful voice, Shen Linyuan sat up instantly and met her slightly red and frightened eyes.

The little girl's clothes were a bit disheveled, and a few strands of her hair had fallen down. Her white-knuckled fingers gripped the hairpin tightly, and her whole body trembled.

Shen Linyuan's gaze turned cold, and he instantly understood what had happened. He said in a deep voice, "Who did this!"

"Can I hide here for a while?" Song Yunzhi choked out, crystal tears sliding down her cheeks, making Shen Linyuan feel inexplicably irritated.

An unnamed rage was burning within me.

"Who did this?" He suppressed his anger and tried his best to keep his voice gentle.

Song Yunzhi looked up at him and shook her head. "Nobody."

The man's face darkened, and he swept his fierce gaze across the roof beam.

A gentle breeze swept by silently.

"You're spineless." Shen Linyuan reached out and wiped away her tears. "What's the use of crying?"

Song Yunzhi gripped the silver hairpin tightly and raised her hand in despair.

"Let go!" Shen Linyuan grasped her hand, his brow twitching slightly.

If you're going to die, don't die here; he doesn't want to be someone else's corpse.

She really has no ambition whatsoever.

Song Yunzhi did not let go, her gaze firm, as if she had made up her mind.

Shen Linyuan couldn't help but reach out and pinch her cheek, angrily saying, "If you don't let go, I'll throw you out!"

As if coming to her senses, Song Yunzhi released her hand with a dazed expression. "I'm sorry, I won't drag you into this."

At a time like this, she's still worried about whether she'll be implicated; she's utterly hopelessly stupid.

Seeing Song Yunzhi turn to leave, Shen Linyuan grabbed her wrist, pulled her forcefully, and pressed her onto his bed.
