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

She is Princess Rouan.

Behind her, Xie Xuanjin wore a dark brocade robe, exuding nobility and aloofness, while Xie Yunli wore a moon-white brocade robe, radiant and elegant.

The two got off the carriage and walked straight this way.

Xie Yunli first glanced at Song Qingning, surprised that his fourth sister-in-law was with Prince Rui and Liang Shuyi.

"Second brother? Second sister-in-law, what's going on here...?"

Liang Shuyi, who was used to Xie Yunli calling her Second Sister-in-law, calmly said, "I heard that Miss Song's brother was also taking the imperial examination, and coincidentally, my third brother was as well, so I invited Miss Song to come to the Confucius Temple to worship. It was just a coincidence that His Highness wanted to draw lots and pray for the students taking the imperial examination."

"That's quite a coincidence."

Xie Yunli looked at his fourth brother, his eyes crinkling, "Fourth brother is also here to draw lots and pray for the students."

He unexpectedly ran into his fourth sister-in-law.

It's fate!

Xie Yunli wished he could call Song Qingning his fourth sister-in-law.

Between his second and fourth brothers, he preferred the fourth brother.

Of course, he also liked his fourth sister-in-law more than his second sister-in-law.

But the person Fourth Brother likes must be hidden away, otherwise it will bring trouble to Fourth Brother and Fourth Sister-in-law.

Xie Xuanjin suddenly spoke up, "Since it's such a coincidence, Second Brother, you can come with me to draw lots."

The Prince of Huai and the Prince of Rui were both too lazy to even put on a show of politeness.

This time, he took the initiative to invite me.

Xie Yuqi looked at Xie Xuanjin suspiciously, understanding his thoughts.

He was wary of himself trying to win over Song Qingning!

Xie Yuqi's goal today was indeed to win over Song Qingning.

Since Xie Xuanjin had invited him, he couldn't refuse. "Let's go then. Shuyi, take good care of Miss Song."

After giving his instructions, Xie Yunli also instructed Princess Rou'an, "Rou'an, take good care of your sister Qingning."

Song Qingning does not need care.

They also sensed the meaning behind those two "take care of" sounds.

She has now taken office as the Left Commandant of the Capital City, and the Prince of Huai holds the Shence Army, an army he built from scratch. Even if the Emperor is wary of him, he would not dare to easily take away his military power.

Firstly, they fear public criticism.

Secondly, even if they were taken away, the Shence Army would only recognize the Prince of Huai.

Only 30,000 Shence Army troops were stationed outside the capital, while the remaining 70,000 were stationed in the northern border.

The Shence Army is the most powerful support for the Prince of Huai.

Prince Rui, however, only had the Shen State Duke's Mansion and the Liang family.

The Shen family were originally merchants, but they rose to prominence and became high-ranking officials because of Consort Shen.

Although the Liang family of Fanyang was renowned, they lacked military power to assist them.

In her previous life, she lost her official position due to the machinations of Liu Shi and Song Mingtang, and the position of Left Commandant of the Capital Division was taken over by Prince Rui's men.

Prince Rui wanted to win her over, and Song Qingning knew it perfectly well.

Putting these thoughts aside, Song Qingning sincerely worshipped the Master.

She wished her brother success in the imperial examinations and that he could live a vibrant and fulfilling life.

After paying their respects to Confucius, Miss Liang suggested going to the backyard, where there is a winding stream and pavilion where people can rest and enjoy the scenery.

Miss Liang had her maid serve the snacks she had brought.

The three of them ate snacks and chatted casually.

When Miss Liang asked about Song Qingning's battle in Youcheng, Song Qingning casually mentioned some things that were worth talking about.

Even though it was just some ordinary stuff in the army, Princess Rouan was still shocked by what she heard.

"Sister Qingning, it was so dangerous, yet you served in the army for three years, rising step by step from a lowly soldier to where you are today. It's truly remarkable." Rou'an felt sorry for Song Qingning.

During his three years in the army, Song Qingning experienced countless life-or-death situations.

Fortunately, they all pulled through.

Liang Shuyi looked at Song Qingning, a flash of admiration crossing her eyes. "Miss Song, we're about the same age. Do you have someone you like?"

She asked directly.

It seemed as if the next step was to act as a matchmaker for her.

Song Qingning was to answer no.

Just then, a disdainful and sarcastic laugh came from the nearby pavilion: "A woman who spends all her time among men, what kind of reputation does she have? Even if she has someone she likes, neither he nor his family will agree to marry her!"

The voice belongs to Jiang Tong.

Song Qingning looked over and, sure enough, it was her.

Madam Jiang was also with her.

"Exactly! What good things can happen when women join the army? I've heard that the men in the army only see a few women a year. Who can stand it? There just happens to be a women's battalion, maybe... ah."

Mrs. Jiang is spewing nonsense.

Song Qingning had prepared pebbles in her hand and threw them, smashing her face.

But before she could throw the pebble, Madam Jiang let out a scream.

Someone beat her to it!

"My head, who is it? Tong'er, my head is bleeding, ah, blood, so much blood..." Madam Jiang covered her head, her hands covered in blood, and was so frightened that she almost fainted.

People gradually gathered around.

Madam Jiang was panicked and weak, and Jiang Tong was flustered and disorganized.

Before Jiang Tong could embellish or distort the facts, the onlookers asked about the situation, and Princess Rou'an beat her to it.

"Heh, I think you said something you shouldn't have, angering the gods. Tsk tsk tsk, look at all this blood on your head. I've heard that seeing blood in a temple is unlucky. It seems this lady's request will be in vain today."

Madam Jiang made a special trip to the Confucius Temple today to pay respects to Jiang Sheng during his academic examination.

They prayed for Jiang Sheng's success in the exam, hoping he would excel and achieve the top score.

Hearing this, I was immediately excited.

Before she could retort, Princess Rouan said, "Oh dear, we've already angered the gods. If we continue to disturb the teacher's peace, it might not be as simple as just bloodshed."

Jiang Tong looked at Princess Rouan.

It was only when I saw the jade pendant at her waist, a pendant worn only by royalty, that I realized her noble status.

Song Qingning, the daughter of a concubine from a noble family, was able to befriend powerful and influential people.

She felt resentful, but dared not provoke them.

They hurriedly helped Madam Jiang up and left in a disheveled state.

Song Qingning turned to look at the other side; the stone that injured Madam Jiang came from behind her.

She was looking for that person.

"Sister Qingning, don't listen to that old woman's nonsense. Mother said that you set a precedent for women entering the court. Once there is one, there will be countless others. This is a good thing."

Princess Rou'an was afraid that the woman's words had hurt Song Qingning, so she comforted her.

Song Qingning was already immune to all poisons, and Madam Jiang's words had no effect on her.

Song Qingning waved the pebble in her hand, her smile bright. "Luckily she ran fast; any slower and her head would have been smashed open."

"Sister Qingning, you..." Princess Rouan stared wide-eyed in surprise.

It was Sister Qingning who made the move just now; she didn't even see it clearly.

It's clear that Sister Qingning is quite skilled.

"I heard from my brother that at the Dragon Boat Festival banquet, you beat Liang Xingjian up..." Princess Rouan said, then suddenly realized that Liang Xingjian's sister, Liang Shuyi, was standing right next to her.

He immediately stopped talking, looking embarrassed.

Liang Shuyi was not annoyed, and still smiled dignifiedly, "My brother is not as skilled as others. He has been practicing his boxing skills hard during this period of time, probably inspired by Miss Song."

You're really good with words.

Song Qingning did not correct Princess Rouan's misunderstanding.

Regardless of who injured Madam Jiang, it was ultimately to avenge her.

He made his move, but did not show his face.

She took the blame for him.

Princess Rouan pestered her, asking her to teach her how to throw stones.

Song Qingning taught her diligently, using leaves as a reference point, and Princess Rou'an learned very earnestly.

Liang Shuyi watched Song Qingning quietly from the side.

Today's invitation is at the behest of Prince Rui.

The prince wanted to win over Song Qingning, but was the prince's attention to Song Qingning really just for the purpose of winning her over?

The truly effective way to win her over is to marry her into the royal household.

And what are the prince's plans for today...?

"Oh dear, Sister Qingning, how could you be so careless, maid!"

Suddenly, Princess Rouan cried out in alarm and rebuked.

The tea soaked Song Qingning's clothes.

The maid, brought by Liang Shuyi, knelt on the ground in a panic: "This servant deserves to die! Princess Rou'an's tea has gone cold. This servant wanted to bring it to the princess, but I ran into Miss Song. This servant deserves to die!"

Princess Rouan noticed that Song Qingning's clothes were soaked.

He frowned. "What should we do now? We should change it."
