A wicked mother swaps her son and sucks his blood? The true legitimate daughter is reborn and goes o

Song Qingning returned to her residence and changed the name of the courtyard.

Just as it was hung up, Madam Liu arrived.

Yu Chan said that Song Qingning destroyed the plaque at the entrance of Juyuan Garden.

Madam Liu was furious and wanted to punish Song Qingning according to family law, but then she thought that Song Qingning still had to earn the title of county princess for Yan'er.

It still has some use value.

Even so, we should take this opportunity to give Song Qingning a good talking-to: "Why did you destroy the plaque?"

"I don't like it." Song Qingning's voice was very calm.

Madam Liu glanced at the new courtyard name and said disdainfully, "Jinxiu Pavilion? The word 'Jinxiu' is too extravagant; you can't handle it, ah..."

Song Qingning was practicing swordsmanship.

The sword energy struck near Liu's feet, causing her to scream and retreat, "Song Qingning, how dare you hurt me!"

Song Qingning offered no explanation and continued practicing her swordsmanship.

The sword was sharp and the moves were fluid and graceful.

Liu felt murderous intent several times, but she didn't believe Song Qingning had the guts to kill her, nor did she have any reason to do so.

It's probably because they feel unbalanced.

In Liu's view, Song Qingning had no right to feel unbalanced.

She raised her, so she should become nourishment for Yan'er and Tang'er.

Liu Shi disdained to coax her, but for the sake of Yan'er's title of county princess, Liu Shi said, "I forgive you for what happened today, and I will agree to your request to change the name of the courtyard."

Liu spoke with great magnanimity.

It seems like an act of charity.

Then, changing the subject, she said, "Yan'er is your cousin. Her glory is your glory."

"A woman will eventually get married, and you've reached the age to discuss marriage. If your cousin's status is higher, she'll have more say in your marriage. I'm doing this for your own good."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a gust of sword wind swept in.

Liu's heart trembled violently.

Song Qingning did not respond to her words, and Liu almost lost her temper.

She didn't want to waste any more words trying to coax her, so she coldly ordered, "Song Qingning, you must perform well this time you return to the capital. No matter what method you use, you must get your cousin to grant you the title of County Princess."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Song Qingning withdrew her sword energy.

Liu's words reminded her that she had reached the age to discuss marriage.

In her past life, Liu pushed her into the Jiang family; in this life, she'll probably try to arrange her marriage again.

……

The following day, Song Qingning went to the Ministry of War to report on his duties.

After it was over, Meng Huaizhou, the Vice Minister of War, called her over.

"General Song, you made the greatest contribution in the Battle of Youcheng. Although you are a woman, our dynasty does not restrict the appointment of talents based on gender. If you are interested, I will do my best to help you get a good job."

Meng Huaizhou was the younger brother of Empress Meng.

Two years ago, Meng Huaizhou went to Youcheng and saw her graceful figure as she killed enemies on horseback. It was as if he saw the former Empress Meng.

Unfortunately, after marrying the King of Qin and becoming the Empress, I never saw her former dashing self again.

"Qingning thanks Minister Meng." Song Qingning was not surprised.

In her previous life, Minister Meng had also made this suggestion, but she failed to live up to it.

Liu and Song Mingtang coveted the job and tried to force her to give it up. After failing, they made a scene and refused the job on Song Qingning's behalf.

If Song Mingtang can't have it, he won't let her have it either.

In this life, Song Qingning will not give them another chance. "Minister Meng, I am interested in the assignment, but could you please keep it a secret for now?"

"I will not tell anyone, I will definitely not tell anyone, General Song, wait for my news." Meng Huaizhou said excitedly.

Song Qingning was surprised by his enthusiasm.

After bowing in thanks again, he left.

As soon as she left, Meng Huaizhou began drafting a document recommending Song Qingning.

Prince Huai, Xie Xuanjin, and Prince Yu's heir, Xie Yunli, entered the room one after the other.

Xie Xuanjin went straight to the bookshelf and flipped through the dossier on the Battle of Youcheng.

Xie Yunli then moved closer to Meng Huaizhou, and upon seeing the contents of the document, he was so astonished he couldn't close his mouth: "Uncle, am I seeing things? The Commandant of the Capital City Division? A fourth-rank official, and you're recommending Song Qingning? She's just a woman..."

Xie Xuanjin was the son of Empress Meng, and Xie Yunli addressed Meng Huaizhou as "uncle" in the same way Xie Xuanjin did.

"What's wrong with the woman? Haven't you seen how she looks when she's fighting?" Meng Huaizhou interrupted him.

He went to Youcheng and mentioned Song Qingning repeatedly after he returned.

Xie Yunli was tired of hearing it; he didn't believe any woman could be as brave and resourceful as he described.

Either they're exaggerating, or they've been bewitched by Song Qingning.

Xie Yunli poured cold water on the idea, saying, "Although women in our dynasty can go to the battlefield, there is no precedent for women entering the court. Even the Empress herself got married and became a wife and mother after returning to the capital."

"Maybe this will set a precedent," Meng Huaizhou said.

Xie Yunli: "A precedent? Ha, unless she doesn't get married."

When a woman marries, she must obey her husband's family.

No noble family would allow its women to appear in public, let alone serve as officials in the imperial court.

Meng Huaizhou was speechless.

However, the idea of ​​recommending her was still not abandoned. "General Song is seventeen years old this year. I hope she can... postpone marriage for a couple of years."

But... is that possible?

Whether it's possible or not, we should always give it a try.

Without wasting a moment, Meng Huaizhou took the drafted document to his superior for approval.

"Fourth Brother, has Uncle gone mad?" Xie Yunli still didn't believe that Song Qingning really had the ability to set a precedent.

Xie Xuanjin's attention was on the files, and he seemed not to have heard their conversation.

"Fourth Brother, have you met Song Qingning?" Xie Yunli asked curiously about Song Qingning.

He thought Xie Xuanjin would still be too lazy to answer him.

Xie Xuanjin suddenly looked up from the file and said, "Never seen him? Just meet him."

"That's right, why not just meet him?" Xie Yunli was enlightened.

The day after tomorrow is my mother's birthday banquet.

Perfect timing! I'll take this opportunity to see Song Qingning. "I'll go back to my residence and deliver a formal invitation to Song Qingning."

In the evening, Song Qingning received the invitation.

The invitation to the Princess Consort's birthday banquet was sent by the Princess Consort's daughter, Princess Rou'an.

Song Qingning accepted the invitation without making a fuss.

In her previous life, at the birthday banquet of Princess Yu, Lady Liu only brought Song Qingyan to the banquet and did not bring her.

Lady Liu said that she was not qualified to attend the banquets hosted by princes and nobles.

Song Qingyan received the title of Princess of Yongping County, which greatly elevated her status, and even the Princess Consort of Yu Prince would welcome her warmly.

It was at this banquet that Song Qingyan first met the heir of the Duke of Shen.

At the end of that banquet, something else significant happened.

Song Qingning recalled something from her past life and made a decision:

At the Princess Consort of Yu's birthday banquet, she was going to repay a debt of gratitude to someone!

The following night, Chen Mama, who was beside Madam Lu, brought over several pieces of clothing, all in Song Qingning's size, made of the finest brocade, and in the latest styles from the capital.

There were also a few pieces that Lu had specially modified to make them easier to move around in.

Lady Liu also sent over some clothes.

All of them were old clothes that Song Qingyan had worn and didn't want anymore.

As soon as Liu's people left, Song Qingning burned the clothes she had sent.

Yu Chan hurriedly went to complain, and Liu was so angry that she almost smashed her teacup.

After glancing at Song Mingtang, who had come to visit her, Madam Liu held back her anger.

She had to maintain a respectable image in front of her own son.

"Song Qingning is becoming more and more outrageous. What is there for her to complain about regarding Yan'er's clothes?" Song Mingtang resented Song Qingning for using military merits to exchange for titles.

Even without Song Qingning, he was still the heir of the Marquis's mansion.

Song Qingning simply made him the heir apparent ahead of time.

But she took too much credit and failed to fulfill her duties as a woman.

Madam Liu sighed, "Her heart has become a bit wild, but I can't blame her. I suppose she prefers the clothes made by Sister Lu. Sister Lu is truly thoughtful."

"Having good intentions? Humph!" Song Mingtang clearly had a lot of dissatisfaction with the Lu family.

Seeing this, Lady Liu smiled with satisfaction and continued to flatter Song Mingtang, "Your Highness need not worry about Qingning. As her mother, I will teach her well."

"Um."

Song Qingning needs to be taught a lesson.

However... Song Mingtang remembered the purpose of his visit to Liu Shi.

"Second Aunt, Song Qingning should have plenty of time this time back in the capital. She hasn't painted for three years, so let her practice more and not lose her previous level, lest it affect the name of 'Bright Moon Fairy'."

"Mingyue Xian" is a master painter who suddenly appeared six years ago.

He was exceptionally talented, yet extremely mysterious.

No one has ever seen his true face.

Even Song Qingyan was unaware that the renowned "Bright Moon Fairy" was none other than Song Mingtang, and that the paintings that made "Bright Moon Fairy" famous were all painted by Song Qingning.

Three years ago, Song Qingning joined the army, and "Mingyue Xian" disappeared without a trace.

Song Mingtang had endured for three years, but he didn't want to wait any longer. He wanted to reveal his identity as "Mingyue Xian".

We can teach Song Qingning a lesson later, after we've squeezed every last drop of value out of her.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will make the arrangements," said Lady Liu.

After Song Mingtang left, Liu did not pursue the matter of Song Qingning burning clothes.

It's not that we won't investigate, it's just that we'll investigate it later.

She needs to rest and recuperate so she can take Yan'er to the banquet at Prince Yu's mansion tomorrow.

As for Song Qingning... she won't take her.
