After the tender beauty was reborn, the husband of the god of war competed for favor

Chapter 27 Kneeling Punishment

Even though Song Dynasty fell into the water late in the evening, the flower-viewing party at Prince Duan's Mansion was not interrupted.

When the male guests gathered together, they did not care about court affairs and only talked about the breeze and the bright moon.

The female family members were all frightened by the incident of Song Wanwan falling into the water, so they returned to the pavilion to rest.

Among them, Song Jiuxi became everyone's focus.

Whether it was the martial arts she showed just now or the ruthless ways she treated her sister-in-law, the name Song Jiuxi quickly spread among the ladies.

In the past, everyone only heard that the eldest daughter of the Song family behaved disrespectfully, was domineering and flamboyant, and it was common for her to bully the sisters in the house with her martial arts skills.

But now that they saw it with their own eyes, they despised Song Jiuxi even more.

Song Jiuxi didn't look like everyone's young lady, she was simply an embarrassment to their women.

When Princess Yongjia walked in, she saw the strange look in everyone's eyes. Song Jiuxi was sitting alone with no one around her.

She also heard about Song Wanwan falling into the water. She walked to Song Jiuxi and sat down, and asked with a smile: "Why don't you hide it now?"

Song Jiuxi raised an eyebrow: "Why hide it?"

She hid her martial arts skills in the past because she cared about the Changping Marquis Mansion and what Song Wenzhi thought of her.

Now she showed up to protect Aunt Qing and her younger brother. Thinking of her younger brother, Song Jiuxi remembered that Song Ruoyu was still studying at Hanshan Academy at this time.

In addition to the previous life, Song Jiuxi had not seen Song Ruoyu for a long time.

When his mother passed away, Song Ruoyu was still young and was given to Qiu Ting by Song Wenzhi to raise. Later, he became closer and closer to Qiu Ting and Song Wanwan, but he hated her as his biological sister.

If she hadn't learned that Song Ruoyu came to save her in her previous life, Song Jiuxi still wouldn't have known that Song Ruoyu still had her as her sister in her heart.

In this life, she doesn't want to miss and regret anything.

If Song Ruoyu gets close to Song Wanwan and the others again, Song Jiuxi will break one of his legs.

Yongjia suddenly sneered: "Look at these people, they say they are all ladies and gentlemen, but they all like to talk about others in private. If others are not good, they may set off firecrackers in their hearts."

Song Jiuxi raised her eyes, glanced at them, and then looked back.

"They accuse you and me just because you and I are different from them. They think they are superior, so they accuse us. In fact, it is because they accuse us that they can be superior."

"A bunch of talkative women." Princess Yongjia took a sip and suddenly remembered, "When can we two call ourselves "us"?"

Song Jiuxi raised the wine glass towards Princess Yongjia: "Didn't the princess also say, is it us?"

Yongjia stared at her, then smiled after a while. She also picked up her wine glass and clinked it with Song Jiuxi. "This princess recognizes you as my friend."

Song Jiuxi smiled. Princess Yongjia's temperament was indeed straightforward. She raised her head and drank the wine in one gulp.

After drinking, Song Jiuxi asked: "How is the young master of Chang Guogong's family?"

"How can a scholar get along with this princess? I have warned him not to dream of marrying me. This princess will never marry in her life. What good is a man?"

But Princess Yongjia's warning should be of no use, because Chang Shenhui had to leave for something, and even bowed to Yongjia from afar across the pavilion before leaving.

When Yongjia saw this scene, he was so angry that he threw his wine glass on the table and said angrily: "Didn't I tell him to stay away from me? And he even saluted me? Are all the words I just said in vain?"

Yongjia felt unhappy. She shouldn't have spared Chang Shenhui just now because of his politeness. She should have whipped him to ensure that he would not dare to propose marriage in front of her mother.

Thinking of this, Yongjia became anxious. She was not afraid of anything but her mother.

If her mother really fell in love with Chang Shenhui, she would have to marry him if she didn't want to.

No, she had to go back quickly to find out what her mother was saying.

No matter what you say, you can't get married.

Princess Yongjia left in a hurry, and Song Jiuxi couldn't stay any longer.

Just as she was about to leave, a maid came up to her and said, "Mrs. Yan, the princess has invited you."

Song Jiuxi couldn't figure out why Princess Duan wanted to see her, but she had to go if Princess Duan invited her.

The maid led the way through the garden corridor and arrived at a room in the backyard.

At the top of the main hall of the house, the princess sat upright, with four maids standing on either side.

Song Jiuxi saluted: "The minister's wife joins the princess."

The maid next to her yelled angrily: "How dare you! You don't kneel down on your knees to pay homage to the princess!"

What Song Jiuxi did was a half-ceremony. It was not a formal occasion and she was still a guest today, so a half-ceremony was enough.

But Princess Duan deliberately made things difficult for her, so Song Jiuxi had to bow down today.

Song Jiuxi lowered his eyes and could only kneel down to salute.

After the ceremony, the princess did not let her get up. Instead, she drank tea slowly and did not say a word for a long time.

Song Jiuxi knelt on the cold ground, her eyes downcast and unable to see her emotions clearly.

After a while, Princess Duan suddenly asked: "Why did General Ming suddenly faint again? Didn't he wake up before?"

Song Jiuxi answered cautiously: "The general is weak and he only woke up temporarily..."

"Nonsense!" Princess Duan suddenly dropped the hot tea on Song Jiuxi's leg. Half of the splashed pieces and tea splashed on the ground, and the other half splashed on Song Jiuxi's body.

Song Jiuxi suddenly retracted the hand placed by her leg, and the back of her hand was already red.

"General Ming is the God of War of Dayan Kingdom and the hope of the Sixteen Cities in the North. Your Majesty proposed marriage to you and General Ming in the hope that you can take good care of General Ming. But how did you do it?"

Song Jiuxi frowned slightly. Everyone in the capital knew that Yan Shubai would not survive more than a month.

Princess Duan deliberately made trouble for her because of this, just to vent her anger for the third princess.

Song Jiuxi argued: "Princess, General Ming is not in good health..."

Princess Duan interrupted her: "Song Jiuxi, you are the "concubine" of General Ming. The reason why the general is in poor health is because you didn't take good care of him. Why are you still making excuses? Just kneel here and reflect on yourself."

"Look at her, you guys, when will you finish reflecting on her and get up?"

"yes."

After Princess Duan gave her instructions, the orderer looked at her and then left.

The princess's order represents the majesty of the royal family and cannot be refuted.

Even though Song Jiuxi was very powerful in martial arts, she was no bigger than the Tian family in the imperial city. Princess Duan wanted to punish her, so she had no choice but to kneel down and accept the punishment.

However, she blamed Yan Shubai in her heart. If it weren't for his peach blossoms, she wouldn't have suffered this crime for no reason.

She didn't expect that Yan Shubai, a dying person, could cause trouble for her.

She had to grit her teeth and swallow this loss today. Only then did she feel that she was too weak, and now anyone could still step on her.

Song Jiuxi didn't know how long she had been kneeling, but the sky was getting dark.

A maid walked past the corridor carrying a lantern, and the flash of light illuminated Song Jiuxi's cold, frosty face.

Hanqiao knelt with her, and her knees hurt terribly.

"Young Madam, have we been kneeling for three hours..."

Song Jiuxi said "hmm" and wanted to say something else, but suddenly a grandma walked in from the door.

She walked up to Song Jiuxi and said arrogantly: "The princess is worried that there will be no one to take care of General Ming. I hereby forgive you and go back. Why don't you express your gratitude?"

Song Jiuxi stood up slowly, looked at her and replied, "Thank you, Princess."

What happened today will definitely come back to her tomorrow.
