She hardly slept all night.
There were dark circles under her eyes, which she barely covered with powder. "Did you stay up all night, Your Highness?"
"Yes... Where's the prince?"
"The prince hasn't returned yet..."
Feeling somewhat disappointed for no reason, Song Jinyu got up and left the bedroom. She couldn't understand herself, but she was certain of one thing: she didn't want, not even a bit, for Ling Yufei to enter the mansion.
Yes!
She wanted to tell Zhongli Mingye in person.
However, as soon as she stepped out of the mansion gate today, the gatekeeper handed her a letter.
"Ganquan Residence?"
"Reporting to the princess, Ganquan Residence is a well - known tavern in the capital."
Song Jinyu thought for a moment. The letter said that Zhongli Mingye was waiting for her there. She couldn't help but curl her lips: "In this day and age, still playing such tricks!"
She shook her head and threw the letter aside.
"Then are you going or not?"
She was going, but... she planned to disguise herself. She wanted to give him a "surprise", and just thinking about it made her feel much better!
She asked Niaoniao to change into a pageboy's outfit too. As soon as they went out, two people suddenly followed them.
When they reached the gate of Ganquan Residence, someone specifically led Song Jinyu and her maid to a private room.
Just as she was about to knock on the door, a charming female voice came from inside: "Your Highness, I'm really happy today."
"After entering the mansion, I'll surely serve you well with the princess."
Song Jinyu thought it sounded like Ling Yufei's voice. She felt rather helpless. When did she start eavesdropping like this?
So, she directly pushed open the door.
Ling Yufei was "startled" and threw herself straight into Zhongli Mingye's arms. But that man was not at all gentle. He threw her aside.
"It's Sister Princess..." Ling Yufei looked at her tearfully, as if she had suffered a great deal of injustice. "Sister Princess, please forgive Yufei..."
"Don't blame the prince."
What? Blame him?
Song Jinyu calmly walked up to Zhongli Mingye, gently lifted his hand, and looked disgusted. "Remember to take a bath when we get home. We don't want this outfit anymore!"
It was dirty!
"..."
Zhongli Mingye was just wondering why Song Jinyu had come. It was also difficult for him to explain why he was alone with Ling Yufei in a room.
He was still thinking about how to explain when...
He was amused by her words.
Ling Yufei was so angry that her face distorted. "Sister Princess, please watch your words!"
"Watch my words?"
"I am the princess of a first - rank prince in the current dynasty. May I ask, Miss Ling, what rank are you?"
"Moreover, I'm several years younger than you. I can't bear this title of sister... Don't use the wrong address..."
Song Jinyu took out a handkerchief and wiped the non - existent dust off Zhongli Mingye's body. "My prince has always been a clean - freak."
"Your constant throwing yourself at him will only dirty his clothes."
After saying this, Ling Yufei turned pale. She didn't expect the Princess of Yu to be so sharp - tongued, and Zhongli Mingye beside her looked so indulgent.
"You... You..."
She couldn't help but feel sad and cried tearfully. Niaoniao and Micui felt extremely delighted!
Annoyed by her crying, Song Jinyu pulled Zhongli Mingye and left. Before leaving, Qingfeng caught the people who had been following them and threw them at Ling Yufei.
"Don't always use such cheap tricks. You're just disgracing your Ling family!"
She viciously threw this sentence and "dragged" Zhongli Mingye away like a chick. The latter gave Qingfeng a look.
Then Qingfeng "escorted" Ling Yufei back home and passed a message to Prime Minister Ling: "Teach your daughter well. Her behavior is just like that of a whore in a music workshop!"
The couple was equally sarcastic!
Prime Minister Ling was so angry that he almost fainted. No matter how much he doted on his daughter, he couldn't let her disgrace the Ling family.
So, Ling Yufei was confined to her room!
After they left Ganquan Residence, Song Jinyu let go of him. Zhongli Mingye laughed uncontrollably. "I just realized that no one can match the princess when she scolds someone!"
"Scold someone? I never scold people. I only scold those who aren't human!"
"Haha..."
Everyone was amused. Zhongli Mingye couldn't help pinching her face. He was completely in love with this angry look of hers.
If it weren't for so many people around, he would have kissed her already.
"What are you doing?"
Song Jinyu stared at Zhongli Mingye in disbelief as he took off his clothes as soon as he got into the carriage.
The man gave her an innocent smile. "Didn't you say I was dirty?"
"..."
But he couldn't just take off his clothes now!
Zhongli Mingye, who had taken off his outer robe, hugged her. "If I don't take it off, how can I hold you?"
He looked at Song Jinyu seriously. "The princess was really powerful today... I'm relieved now."
"Relieved about what?"
"Relieved to leave all those women to you to deal with... I think my love is good at this." Good at it? Good at it?
She tightly pursed her lips, holding back her anger, and resisted the urge to slap his annoying face.
Song Jinyu fell silent. Her thoughts drifted back to what had just happened: when Ling Yufei threw herself at Zhongli Mingye, she had felt so disgusted and angry.
If... Ling Yufei or other women really entered the mansion, what should she do?
Thinking of this, Song Jinyu looked up at him. She finally realized that deep down, she really didn't want to share Zhongli Mingye with other women, not even a little bit.
Suddenly, she tightly hugged Zhongli Mingye.
"Mingye! I don't want other women to enter the mansion." Yes! She didn't want, didn't wish, didn't like it.
After a long time,
a sigh came from above her head. "You've finally come to your senses..." It wasn't easy. His woman didn't need to be sensible or think about him. As long as she loved him whole - heartedly, that was enough.
As for a husband and wife, Zhongli Mingye had seen with his own eyes his mother - concubine's loneliness and melancholy for twenty years. At that time, his mother - concubine had told him that
if one day he met someone he really liked, he mustn't miss that person.
What did it mean to really like someone?
It meant facing her every day, being sweet with her every morning, and sharing a pillow with her every night. There should be no one else between them, and then there would be much less trouble.
Love was inherently selfish, especially when two people were in love. What was the point of having three people?
Yesterday, she had shown understanding and was willing to endure hardships. But this wasn't the result Zhongli Mingye wanted.
So, he staged this play today, making Song Jinyu clearly see how ridiculous her thoughts were.
He Yi found Song Jinyu and was puzzled. "You... Why are you so happy?"
"Fourth Brother is going to take a concubine!"
"It's a good thing!" Song Jinyu looked non -chalant and laughed at He Yi as if she was making a fuss.
"How can you add Ling Yufei to your sweet relationship with Fourth Brother?"
Seeing that she really cared about her, Song Jinyu smiled and patted He Yi. "Don't worry. My man can only be mine."
"..." He Yi rolled her eyes at her and frowned. "You're so boastful. The Emperor has given an oral order."
"The prince said he would handle this himself."
Seeing that He Yi was unhappy, Song Jinyu whispered in her ear. "Cheng Song has been training for a few months and has made contributions."
"He already understands military strategies. I believe he will stand out in no more than two years." He Yi blushed at her words. "It seems that the story in the romance novel is about to come true. Tsk tsk..."
After the two girls chattered for a long time, He Yi returned to the palace at ease.
No matter what, she must be with Cheng Song. Now that he was training in the military camp, she also had to live a good life every day.
Not everything in the romance novels was made up.
