Daughter Reborn as the Head of the Family

Chapter 53 Orphan

Song Jinyue helped her grandmother get up and walked into the main hall.

"We just arrived, grandma, has there been news from the palace?"

After helping her grandmother sit down, Song Jinyue knelt down in front of her and helped the old man carry her back.

Aunt Jia wisely withdrew.

When her granddaughter asked about it, Mrs. Zhang's face added a bit of sadness, she sighed, and then she said, "Hey, it's not about your cousin, the prince!"

Mrs. Zhang felt a little disappointed when she mentioned her grandson who wanted to be honest and honest.

"What happened?" Song Jinyue was also a little anxious.

Three months ago, there was a severe drought in the southwest, and the emperor specially ordered the prince to go to the southwest to fight the drought.

But in the previous life, the prince's cousin returned to Kyoto the day before New Year's Eve. Now, according to my grandmother's words, could it be that the prince's cousin came back early?

"Your aunt invited your aunt to go to the palace to discuss it. The child Zhi'er followed her into the palace. The queen sent a letter saying that the prince had returned to Beijing, which made Long Yan very angry."

Mrs. Zhang slapped her palms on the table. Thinking of what her eldest daughter said in her letter, Mrs. Zhang became very angry.

"For some reason, I rescued an orphan girl in the southwest. I just brought her back to the capital yesterday, and then I made an offer to make the orphan girl the crown princess!"

There was a dark light in the old lady's eyes, and her face was full of solemnity.

This thing never happened in my previous life.

Song Jinyue was suspicious, could this orphan girl be more beautiful than a fairy? That made the prince's cousin so attracted to her?

Because her aunt was a relative of the Zhang family and had a high status, the candidate for the crown princess was not decided for a while. She was worried that the emperor would be afraid of her wining over court officials for his son, so she simply kept delaying the decision.

Fortunately, the prince has always kept himself clean and honest.

In the past few years in the capital, I have never had any gossip with any lady.

Song Jinyue personally served tea to her grandmother and gave her a few words of advice to reassure her.

She immediately went into the palace to have a look and see if she could be of any help. Mrs. Zhang naturally did not refuse and asked Zhang's carriage to personally escort her into the palace.

Because the prince grew up with Song Jinyue since childhood, he also loved his cousin very much.

I thought that my granddaughter would come forward to persuade me, and I was afraid that my confused grandson, who was now blinded by lard, could change his mind.

I wish this matter could end soon. If the stalemate continues, I'm afraid this year will be uneasy!

Song Jinyue took Qiu Yun into Zhang's carriage and headed straight to the palace.

Because her aunt gave her a jade medal, she could enter the palace to speak at any time.

When the guards at the palace gate saw that it was the second young lady of the Duke of Song Dynasty, and the jade plaque in her hand was a gift from the Queen, they naturally let the person in without stopping her.

This time, my aunt was ill and did not know that she was entering the palace, so no one was sent to pick her up.

Fortunately, Song Jinyue was facing the palace and could touch the palace entrance with her eyes closed.

The red-walled and green-tiled palace corridors in the palace were as silent as ever.

Song Jinyue quickened her pace and headed towards Zhaohua Hall, her aunt's residence.

"Miss Song Er?"

Song Jinyue had just stepped into Zhaohua Hall and bumped into Xiangxiu who was about to leave out in a hurry.

"Sister Xiangxiu, I'm here to see my aunt. I'm stopping by to see my aunt."

Song Jinyue explained her purpose of coming, and Xiangxiu finally understood, "Second Miss Song, please go in first. I'm about to go find His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Sister Xiangxiu, go and get busy."

Xiangxiu then bowed and hurried out of Zhaohua Hall.

Song Jinyue watched her go away, then walked down the corridor to Zhaohua Hall.

The palace maids of Zhaohua Palace were guarding outside, and the door of the palace was closed tightly. A faint sobbing and mournful sound could be heard from inside. That was the voice of my aunt.

The palace maid of Zhaohua Palace was about to pass the call. Song Jinyue waved her hand, indicating that the maid did not need to pass the call. She would just wait outside.

The palace maid gave up and went to bring her a cup of tea.

Song Jinyue was standing under the corridor in front of the palace gate, looking at the large black vats at the four corners of the courtyard. The fruitful lotus pods inside were still half green. In a while, the lotus pods would be ripe.

It was the palace gate himself who pushed open from inside, "Cousin?"

Song Jinyue was lost in thought when Cousin Zhi's voice pulled her back.

She looked back.

"When did you come? You've been waiting for a long time. It's cold outside. Let's wait in the compartment inside the hall first." After Zhang Dingzhi said this, he pulled Song Jinyue into Zhaohua Hall.

My aunt's faint sobs could be heard inside from time to time.

"My aunt is ill now and is resting on the couch. My mother is accompanying my aunt." Zhang Dingzhi's eyes fell in the direction of the queen's bed compartment, with a gloomy expression.

Yesterday, when I entered the palace, I saw my aunt in a very sick state. She looked much worse than before, with a rather dilapidated air.

Song Jinyue didn't say anything, and when they got to the booth, the two of them sat down together.

Then she asked, "Cousin Zhi, when I came here just now, I saw Aunt Xiangxiu going to invite the prince's cousin. Does my aunt have something to discuss with the prince's cousin?"

Zhang Dingzhi shook his head and sighed. Thinking of his cousin, he felt that he hated iron for not becoming steel. "Your Majesty came to see my aunt today and gave her special instructions. If the prince's cousin doesn't send the orphan girl away again,

If I leave, I will ask Prince Nuo to leave the palace..."

In this dynasty, no matter the prince or prince, he will only move out of the palace after getting married or being crowned king.

Your Majesty definitely does not agree with the orphan girl becoming the crown princess.

Then there is only one intention, which is to abolish the crown prince's position and demote him to a prince...

This is undoubtedly a great humiliation to the queen and the Zhang family.

But now, the prince didn't listen at all, and he was completely focused on the orphan girl.

Song Jinyue was shocked. The prince's cousin actually went against his aunt for the sake of the orphan girl?

She felt quite disappointed for a moment.

But when she thought of her aunt's illness, she couldn't help but become worried again.

Mrs. Xie came to call her daughter to go to the queen. When she saw her niece coming, she asked her to come with her.

The queen lying on the couch had no color on her face.

His face was pale, his eyes were red, and the tears in the corners of his eyes wetted the soft pillow. When he saw her coming, he hurriedly wiped away the tears and waved her over to sit down and talk.

"Aunt, don't worry, everything will be fine." Song Jinyue held her aunt's hand and comforted her.

The queen sighed, not wanting to disappoint her, and then said "hmm".

"Later, when your cousin comes, you should also persuade your cousin on behalf of your aunt. He always listens to you the most."

"good."

Song Jinyue did not refuse, but sincerely agreed to the matter.

Before he could say a few words, the palace lady outside announced that His Highness the Prince had arrived.

Ms. Xie took her daughter and niece to the door to greet her in person.

Today, the prince specially wore a silver-gray robe. He has a slender figure, a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows, and his dark eyes are full of solemnity.

"Prince."

"..."

After several people saw the ceremony, Prince He Yuanyi stepped forward and helped his aunt Xie up in person, and exchanged a few polite words with her.

Turning his head, he saw the orange-red figure and was a little stunned, "Sister Yue?" After having not seen her for many years, the prince called out with uncertainty in his heart.
