Daughter Reborn as the Head of the Family

Chapter 54 Idea

Seeing her nodding, the prince immediately smiled, "When did you come back? I have never heard of it..."

The prince really didn't know about Song Jinyue's return.

After all, after he brought back the orphan girl, the whole palace was turned upside down.

No one else mentioned to him that his cousin was back.

"Go back to Your Highness, I just came back two days ago." Song Jinyue's tone was light, revealing a bit of indifference and alienation.

The prince was startled. He saw that this cousin was not as close to him as she was when she was a child.

"We haven't seen each other for a few years, but my cousin Tonggu seems to be a little bit familiar."

"Your Highness, my aunt is still waiting for you."

Song Jinyue didn't want to say anything more to the prince's cousin at this moment. He just wanted his aunt to take a look at him and rest early.

After all, my aunt seems to be more sick now than she did two days ago.

And how could the prince's cousin not know this?

Then why do you still force your aunt like this for an orphan girl?

The prince said nothing and turned around to enter the queen's bedroom. The queen was now wearing a long cloak and leaning on a soft pillow, with her black hair scattered on her shoulders.

"Queen Mother." The prince knelt down and saluted. The queen looked at her son kneeling on the ground, with mixed feelings in her heart.

The prince has been taught by her since he was a child to work harder than the other princes.

While the prince next to him was playing, the prince had already started studying with his tutor before dawn. While the prince next to him was eating, the prince was practicing martial arts.

When the prince next to him went out to play in the palace, the prince was learning Zizhi Tongjian.

The prince never once cried out about pain or tiredness.

The young prince was extraordinarily sensible, so he was loved by the emperor and empress.

But who would have expected that he would now be in such a stalemate with the emperor and empress.

"The queen asks you again, are you really unwilling to send that orphan girl away?" The queen sternly looked at her son who was kneeling on the ground, feeling extremely strange for a moment.

In just a few months, her son became someone she didn't recognize at all.

"Mother, over the years, I have been clever, sensible, and obedient. Now... you can't rely on your son even once?" The prince's voice trembled, and he looked at the mother who was sitting crookedly on the couch.

Why doesn't he feel sorry for his mother?

But……

Telling him to give up would be worse than killing him!

Over the years, he had become mature and prudent, and his world was as dead as black and white. It wasn't until he met her that he truly understood the colorful beauty of the world.

It was she who lit up a beam of light in his dead life.

"Your father has told me today that if you insist on doing this, you will be deposed as a commoner..." The queen paused, lowered her eyes to suppress the darkness in her eyes, and when she opened her eyes again, there was a hint of sadness in her eyes.

Begging, "Are you serious that you want to give up the parents who gave birth to you for that orphan girl?"

At this moment, she is not the queen, and he is not the prince.

She is the mother and he is the son.

She asked him if he really gave up the love between mother and son for an orphan girl.

The prince was shocked. He looked at his mother and suddenly lowered his head. His whole body was filled with deathly energy.

He is a filial child.

He can give up the position of prince, but he can't give up his parents.

But on the other side is the lonely and helpless sweetheart.

On one side are the parents who gave birth to and raised themselves.

The prince's heart was in turmoil for a moment, and he didn't know how to answer.

"Cousin Prince, I have just returned to Beijing. The huge Duke's Mansion is particularly deserted. Why don't you ask that girl to stay with me for a few days?" Song Jinyue said aloud.

The eyes of the queen and the prince fell on her.

Now, what my cousin is worried about is that the orphan girl has no place to rely on.

The queen had mentioned that she wanted to send the person to the Zhang Mansion, but the prince refused because he was worried that his grandmother would not be able to tolerate her.

But the Duke's Mansion is different.

Now the stepmother is in charge of the house, and the cousin has a high status. No one in the house, even if there are changes of servants, dares to be disrespectful in front of the cousin.

"Prince's cousin, even if you insist on marrying her, you can't just live in the same place with no name and status. My cousin should also think about that girl."

When Song Jinyue saw the prince's cousin's expression softening, he knew that her idea had swayed the prince's cousin, so she couldn't help but continue to persuade her.

The queen suddenly softened her expression and advised in a gentle voice: "What your cousin said makes sense. You must not only care about yourself."

The tense atmosphere just now was defused in an instant.

"Yes, Your Highness, just let the orphan girl go live in the Duke's Mansion first. On your father's side, when the time goes by and your mother has recovered her health, we can take care of her slowly." Ms. Xie

Seeing that Prince He Yuanyi looked moved, but still had no intention of compromising, he hurriedly spoke out to persuade him.

The queen looked at the son in front of her who had always been obedient, but now he was so stubborn and could not listen to anything she said. She was so angry that she coughed violently.

Mrs. Xie hurriedly stepped forward to support the Queen and looked at the Prince, her eyebrows furrowed. Why is this nephew so stubborn now?

"Mother, as long as I agree, please don't get angry." He Yuanyi finally relaxed.

The queen slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, panting heavily, her face became increasingly pale, and she waved her hand to ask the prince to retreat.

Song Jinyue bowed to the queen again and said that when she came back tomorrow, she would go with the prince's cousin to take the orphan girl out of the palace first.

The queen naturally agreed.

Seeing that she and the prince had now relaxed, Mrs. Xie took Zhang Dingzhi back first. However, Mrs. Xie was not willing to let her daughter go back first to stabilize Mrs. Zhang. She naturally wanted to stay in the palace to guard the empress.

The queen then gave up and asked Xie to stay for a few more days.

When Zhang Dingzhi and Song Jinyue arrived at the East Palace, the prince was waiting at the entrance of the East Palace with the orphan girl.

Looking from a distance, he is wearing a pale moon-colored scholar's coat and a skirt, and he looks spotless.

When she got closer, Song Jinyue was a little surprised when she saw her beautiful face and graceful figure. Isn't she an orphan?

How does this general demeanor look like it has suffered a lot?

Zhang Dingzhi naturally saw some clues, looked at each other with his cousin, shook his head, and said no more.

The prince gave some more instructions to the orphan girl. He was about to send the orphan girl to the Duke's Mansion, but Song Jinyue persuaded him to back out with a few words. He only told the prince to go back with peace of mind. She would never treat the orphan girl badly.

Zhang Dingzhi walked side by side with his cousin, and the orphan girl followed behind them, her head lowered and silent.

There was total silence along the long palace road.

Walking all the way to the palace gate, they got on Zhang's carriage and several people sat down.

Zhang Dingzhi glanced at the orphan girl, his eyes filled with disgust and he turned his head away from her.

Song Jinyue smiled lightly and asked softly: "I still don't know the girl's name and where she lives?"

The orphan girl then raised her eyes to look at Song Jinyue and respectfully replied: "Yan'er, a civilian girl, lives in Xizhen Village."

"How old were your parents when they passed away? Are there any relatives or sisters in the family?"

"Her parents died when she was five years old, and she grew up living on the food of hundreds of families. She had no relatives or sisters at home."

Yan'er answered respectfully and neatly, which made Song Jinyue suspicious.

Is such a thoughtful woman really an orphan?

Song Jinyue asked again what she did for a living when she grew up.
