After Zhongli Mingye set out for the war, besides staying in the prince's mansion, Song Jinyu would visit her elder brother and sister-in-law in the vice-minister's mansion. Xiang's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and it seemed that she was about to give birth.
Song Jinyu felt a bit bored staying in the capital. Fortunately, before Zhongli Mingye left, he had someone find many rare books for her.
Concubine Shu in the palace sent someone to bestow many tonics. Among the princesses, she was the only one who hadn't been pregnant yet, so Concubine Shu was a bit anxious.
Although she was young, it was better to have an heir early in the royal family.
Fortunately, Song Jinyu didn't reject it. She adjusted her body step by step. Occasionally, she would go to the palace to chat with Concubine Shu and Concubine Jia,
or go to the royal garden with Rong Shuang'er and He Yi. The days passed unhurriedly, but she always felt empty inside.
No matter how good the storybooks were, she couldn't read them. She never thought it would be like this without Zhongli Mingye before. Now it seemed that the days were a bit torturous.
Several times, Ming Ruyi came to visit, but she declined him repeatedly.
With Zhongli Mingye away from the capital, Ming Ruyi couldn't even see Song Jinyu's face. He smiled bitterly. No wonder Zhongli Mingye could go to war so confidently.
It turned out that he had already determined Song Jinyu's feelings.
On this hot day, Song Jinyu was listlessly staying in Liuyun Pavilion. She watched the fish sticking their heads out of the water to breathe.
Hearing the noisy voices in the front hall, she said weakly, "Niaoniao... Go and see what's going on."
Xing Jian rushed over in a hurry. "Princess, princess, great news! Yanqiu has been defeated!"
"His Highness led the troops and captured the main city and the king's tent of Yanqiu!"
Song Jinyu stood up in a hurry, covering her chest. Her heart was about to jump out. Niaoniao also beamed with joy. "Congratulations, princess! His Highness is coming back victorious!"
He won!
The palace kept sending rewards one after another. Although Prince Yu hadn't returned to the capital yet, people all over the capital were singing the praises of Prince Yu, calling him the "God of War".
And his achievements of the Prince Yu's Mansion in Liuzhou City were also mentioned. The prestige of Prince Yu and the princess was getting higher and higher among the people.
The emperor was also very happy.
The deposed crown prince, Zhongli Chengze, who was under detention, was furious at this time. "Miss Jinyu, you've been missing for half a year. Have you found a husband?"
He clenched his fists tightly.
Jinyu, that is Ouyang Jinsu, a fierce look flashed in his sinister eyes. He had tried to kill that strange old man last time, but unexpectedly, he was counter-killed by him halfway.
He was tortured severely for several months before he found another chance to kill him completely.
Now, when Ouyang Jinser came back to the capital again, his biggest backer, the crown prince, had been deposed, and Prince Cheng had been killed.
He had to find a chance to get close to the deposed crown prince.
"Your Highness, don't be impatient. Since I've learned the true teachings of the valley master, I will surely share your worries."
"Although Prince Yu has high prestige, his biggest weakness is that he values love..."
"As long as we capture Song Jinyu, he will give up the throne willingly!" The deposed crown prince, Zhongli Chengze, sneered. "You underestimate the men of the Zhongli family too much. No prince will give up the throne for a woman!"
Jinyu gave a charming smile. Zhongli Chengze's throat twitched slightly, and a longing rose in his heart. Looking at that disgusting look, Jinyu endured the urge to kill the deposed crown prince and continued, "It doesn't matter. Destroying Song Jinyu is the biggest blow to him!"
Song Jinyu, I must make you see the true face of that man. What kind of person is the man you love wholeheartedly? "Hehe..."
Staying with that strange old man for a long time, Jinyu gradually developed his habit.
Song Jinyu rummaged through the wardrobe. "Is this one nice?"
"Or this dress?"
"No, no. I've been too lazy to move recently, and I've gained a lot of weight."
"... " Mincui looked at her helplessly. "Your Highness, you're beautiful no matter what."
"As long as His Highness sees you!"
Although it was said so, Song Jinyu still wanted to look beautiful when she appeared in front of him. She didn't pay much attention to her appearance before, but... now she wanted to dress up well.
When people are happy, they look energetic. The emperor learned that Prince Yu had defeated Yanqiu, captured the king of the Southern Court, and beheaded Yu Ze, Empress Dowager Li and others. For a while, the surrounding tribes and countries of the Daxia Dynasty all kept silent. After this battle, the name of the "God of War" of Prince Yu spread all over the world.
When mentioning Prince Yu, Zhongli Mingye, the court was full of praise. Although the emperor didn't say it clearly, all the court officials knew that the fourth prince, Zhongli Mingye, would be the candidate for the crown prince.
For a while, there was an endless stream of carriages and horses in front of the Prince Yu's Mansion. But Song Jinyu declined all the guests on the grounds that His Highness wasn't in the mansion.
This modest attitude was highly praised by the imperial censors.
It had just rained, and the ground was a bit wet. Ming Qiyun stood under the flower tree, with a cold look in her eyes. "Concubine, the given name of the Princess of Prince Yu is Jinyu."
Jinyu, Yu'er? Could it be her? Ming Qiyun didn't dare to think deeply. This was against human ethics! If it got out, how could he, the Prince of Zhongzhou, be able to hold his head up? But Ming Ruyi had always been a self-willed person. He had had an emotional entanglement with Rong Shuang'er before, and then he had made a big fuss about Xiaotao's matter.
Now, thinking of that muddled night, "Yu'er!" Ming Qiyun twisted her handkerchief and gently bit her white teeth. She hated it so much. "Vixen!"
Every time she looked at that woman, her beautiful and peerless appearance always made her lose her mind.
She was a woman, and she was still convinced by Song Jinyu's appearance, not to mention men?
Although the Princess of Prince Yu rarely went out, those who had seen her all said that she was really a peerless beauty.
After Ming Qiyun discovered this secret, she became even more resentful. This resentment not only came from the fact that she wasn't favored by Ming Ruyi, but also from the fact that as the wives and concubines of the princes, why should she enjoy the favor of Prince Yu alone?
She became even more dissatisfied. She wanted to find out this matter clearly.
He Yi was very happy because Cheng Song was also coming back. Moreover, because of this great achievement, it seemed that he would be granted a title as a marquis soon!
He was really hardworking. He was worthy of being Song Jinyu's man.
The more she thought about it, the happier she was. She decided to tell Concubine Jia about this matter. She wanted Concubine Jia to tell the emperor so that they didn't have to hide it anymore.
After all, the emperor had been looking for a son-in-law for her.
In Gusu City, Ji Yeliu had a dream all night. There was always a woman in the dream, with a graceful figure and a lively personality. Although he couldn't see her face clearly, he felt happy in his heart.
He felt that the woman was very familiar, but he couldn't find her. It wasn't until that day in the Duke Rong's Mansion that he saw the Princess of Prince Yu that Ji Yeliu matched her with the woman in his dream.
So it was her!
Ji Yeliu had never seen Song Jinyu before, but he often saw her in his dreams. This was really unusual. That day, the princess looked at him with sadness, sorrow, and mixed feelings in her eyes.
It wasn't until Prince Yu, Zhongli Mingye, came to his door that Ji Yeliu learned about the matter of Yan Fei. He couldn't help but sigh. He had always heard that twins had a very accurate telepathy.
Now it seemed that the woman who had entered his dream was exactly where Yan Fei's heart belonged.
However, Prince Yu, Zhongli Mingye, didn't want him to meet the princess anymore. "Since you already know that Young Master Yan is the young master who lost his way from your mansion, then find a time to invite back his memorial tablet."
"After all... the princess also hopes that Young Master Yan can find his own origin."
