Daughter Reborn as the Head of the Family

But how could Song Jinxi be willing to accept the things Song Jinyue gave her?

Even if the purse really had the effect of calming the nerves as she said, Song Jinxi didn't dare to use it.

And now that she is in the palace, who knows if she has tampered with it.

Seeing that Song Jinxi was reluctant to take the purse she handed over, Song Jinyue stepped forward, took Song Jinxi's hand, placed the purse in her palm, and patted Song Jinxi's palm.

She said softly: "Eldest sister, you know, I gave you this purse because I was worried that my eldest sister would be distracted at the banquet in the palace today and tell others that there are no rules in the Duke's mansion."

Song Jinyue raised the corners of her lips slightly, looking like a considerate and good sister, and continued: "If the eldest sister doesn't like it, then the younger sister will just take the purse back, but before that, the eldest sister will give it a try first."

Song Jinxi frowned slightly, feeling moved by Song Jinyue's words.

She lowered her head slightly and looked suspiciously at the palm held by Song Jinyue. The purse in her palm was embroidered with a pair of fishes and beads, which looked lifelike and exquisite.

Moreover, the purse was only a few inches away from the tip of her nose, and the fragrance slowly floated in, which made her feel refreshed.

Although she didn't want to take it away, Song Jinxi subconsciously retracted her hand and held the purse tightly in her palm.

Song Jinyue smiled slightly and remained silent.

Song Jinxi said with a smile on her face, "Then thank you sister."

"Sister, you don't have to be so polite to me." Song Jinyue naturally said some more polite words.

Song Jinxi nodded slightly and said, "It looks like the banquet is about to start, why don't we go in together?"

Song Jinyue did not respond first, but turned back to look at Cousin Zhi. Seeing her face full of reluctance, she turned back to Song Jinxi and replied: "No, eldest sister, please go in first. Cousin Zhi and I will go in later."

Song Jinxi didn't say anything more, nodded, and then walked towards the banquet.

She just said it casually, so how could she be willing to go in with the two of them?

Moreover, my mother has gained the favor of the Queen Mother today, so the Queen Mother will naturally introduce her to the ladies at today’s banquet.

She didn't want to drag Song Jinyue over and let her lower her sense of existence.

Song Jinyue watched Song Jinxi slowly enter the banquet, then pulled Cousin Zhi and said: "Cousin Zhi, let's go in too."

Zhang Dingzhi nodded slightly, and then the two of them entered the main table.

In the main hall of Huanyue Pavilion, all the ladies and ladies have taken their seats.

The Queen Mother was holding Song Jinxi's hand and talking and laughing.

Zhang Dingzhi and Song Jinyue greeted several nobles in the palace one by one, and then walked to their seats and sat down.

Since Mrs. Shen's seat had been moved in front of the Queen Mother, Song Jinxi sat down with Mrs. Shen. Song Jinyue had a table to herself, and her seat was close to that of her aunt Xie and her cousin Zhi.

seats.

The Huanyue Pavilion is the banquet for the female family members, and the Lan Yue Pavilion on the side is a banquet for the male relatives. The emperor and his princes attended.

The maids served various cakes one by one.

After the maids withdrew, the Queen Mother coughed twice, looked at Song Jinxi with a kind smile, and then said: "Look at the Ai family, the eldest daughter of Song Guogong is quite a good child. She is very popular with the Ai family.

"

As soon as the Empress Dowager's glare came out, all the female relatives in the banquet looked at each other in confusion. Looking at the origin of Song Guogong's step-wife, if you look around the capital, I am afraid even the women on the streets can tell her a story.

They naturally looked down upon someone of Shen's background, and how could they put her daughter in their eyes?

But today, what does the Queen Mother mean by her words?

Everyone has different thoughts.

But after hearing this, the Queen Mother continued: "It's a pity that with such a good appearance and family background, she can't become the grandson-in-law of the Ai family."

The Queen Mother was still smiling, but her eyes were already looking at the ladies and ladies at the table.

Everyone was naturally shocked. Previously, no one could guess the meaning of the Queen Mother's words, but now, who can say that they can't guess it anymore?

I don’t know what means the eldest lady of the Duke of Song Dynasty used to be so favored by the Queen Mother.

All the ladies of the aristocratic families have already known about the selection of the Crown Princess. Although there is no decree, the selection of the Crown Princess has been decided internally long ago.

The emperor intended to continue the good relationship between the Qin and Jin Dynasties with the Zhang family. He wanted the eldest daughter of the Zhang family to marry the prince and become the princess of the East Palace, so that the two families could get closer.

But Mrs. Zhang didn't want to send her only direct granddaughter to the palace.

Many ladies wanted to come to our house to get married, but Mrs. Zhang refused. Over the years, everyone just regarded Mrs. Zhang as a mere refusal.

I was afraid that I was acquiescing to the emperor's thoughts.

Moreover, the queen loved this young lady of the Zhang family very much.

Then the Queen Mother wants to marry Song Jinxi to that prince?

Naturally, it won't be the prince, and it won't be the sixth prince, because the sixth prince is too young.

Then...

Only the fifth prince He Yuan frame!

But that prince is the fiancé of Song Jinxi's sister.

Didn't the Queen Mother clearly want to create a rift between the two ladies of the Duke of Song Dynasty?

But everyone didn't know what the Empress Dowager's intention was.

But everyone at the table did not dare to respond.

The Queen's face was a bit ugly, but the anger disappeared in an instant, and she immediately put on a smile, tilted her forehead towards the Queen Mother, and said: "Mother, I am not blessed to have given birth to more princes for Your Majesty.

This way, the Queen Mother will not have to worry so much about Miss Song’s marriage."

The queen still smiled.

But these words made the Queen Mother extremely dissatisfied. She glared at the Queen, snorted coldly, glanced over, looked at Concubine Ye at the side, and said: "Concubine Ye, I heard your mother say that your natal nephew has not yet married.

, I wonder...are you willing to let your nephew marry Miss Song?"

Concubine Ye quickly stood up, walked to the palace, knelt on the ground, looked at the queen, and finally her eyes fell on the queen mother, and said: "If the queen mother grants marriage, it will be a blessing for the Ye family."

Seeing Concubine Ye being so virtuous, the Queen Mother was naturally satisfied.

Then he said: "Get up and talk. The ground is cold. Don't hurt your knees. You know the etiquette best. It's a good idea."

These words were implicitly mocking the queen for not knowing etiquette, but the queen mother did not follow Concubine Ye's words and continued.

Concubine Ye was stunned, not knowing what kind of medicine the Queen Mother was selling in the gourd. She looked at her mother suspiciously, her eyes full of inquiry. Madam Ye shook her head slightly. She didn't know what the Queen Mother meant, so she could only signal to her daughter.

, told her not to be anxious.

Song Jinyue looked at what happened during the dinner, and the doubts in her heart became deeper and deeper.

How did Shen win the favor of the Queen Mother?

The Queen Mother had no qualms about being in front of so many people, refused to give any steps to the Queen's aunt, and openly wanted Song Jinxi to marry the fifth prince.

She couldn't help but think of Shen's incident at Jingzhao Yamen.

How did Mr. Shen escape from Jingzhao Yamen?

She had forgotten about this.

"Sister Yue, don't worry." Zhang Dingzhi approached Song Jinyue and comforted her in a low voice.

She was afraid that her cousin would be saddened by what the Queen Mother said.

Song Jinyue smiled and shook her head, saying, "Don't worry, Cousin Zhi, I'm fine."

-small theater-

Suddenly I realized that I had forgotten to celebrate the New Year. If it weren’t for Baozi’s comment, I would have completely forgotten.

I originally wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year when I posted this post today, but I forgot about it.

Make up, make up!

In the new year, I wish you all good luck, peace, happiness and, of course, abundant wealth!

In the new year, let’s work hard together! Come on, come on!
