Song Qingyue felt as if her brain had stopped functioning. Like a puppet, she was pushed onto the saddle by her second brother. She walked out of the corner gate of the backyard in a daze, and walked towards the east city gate as her second brother said.

The clatter of horse hooves was particularly clear in the silent night.

After one more watch, it will be daybreak.

She still felt very confused. There was something blocking her chest that made her extremely uncomfortable. She was sweating from the palms of her hands to her back.

Just as she was about to reach the city gate, she suddenly murmured: "Dad, brother..."

Dad, brother.

Dad!

Dad!

elder brother!

I screamed in my heart and burst into tears, and then I tightened the reins and asked the horse to stop.

Looking at the nearby city gate, and then looking back in the direction of Song Mansion, she covered her face, leaned on her horse and cried helplessly.

When the sky turned from inky black to deep blue, with a creaking sound, the heavy gate was pushed open by the defenders.

Song Qingyue looked at the crack in the door that slowly opened, but suddenly, as if her conscience was aware of it, she turned the horse's head and ran back in the direction of home.

That's home, real home.

Now, she suddenly realized that this was not just a book, but a real world. She had a father who truly cared for her, a brother who supported her unconditionally, several friendly sisters, and

Her aunt who is fair and unselfish, and Aunt Chun who cares about her wholeheartedly.

She couldn't just walk away, she couldn't be so selfish.

On the city tower not far away, Li Zhao squinted at the lonely figure riding his horse back home in the dark night, and silently squeezed the crenellations of the city wall.

He gritted his teeth and barely managed to steady himself, preventing the resentment and rage in his heart from exploding.

Ning Yuan said several times that Miss Song San didn't seem to like him, and also said that he was deceiving himself and others might not want to marry him.

He had always refused to admit it before.

At this point, what else can you say to defend yourself?

Ning Yuan was right, she was unwilling to get to the point where she wanted to escape from the marriage.

Click!

Eunuch Xiaolin beside him was horrified when he saw the crenellations of the city wall shattered under the palm of the crown prince, and called out worriedly: "Your Highness..."

Li Zhao sneered twice at himself, as if he was forcing three words from between his teeth: "I'm fine." After a long silence, he took a deep breath and said softly: "I am fine.

"

Father-in-law Xiao Lin stepped forward to hold Li Zhao's arm. Li Zhao waved his hand to show that he could hold it steady.

"Let's go back. I'll go to meet the bride in a few hours."

At dawn, Aunt Bai walked into Song Qingyue's boudoir. Because Song Qingyue was used to getting up late, Aunt Bai thought it would take some effort to wake Song Qingyue up, but she found that she had woken up long ago and was motionless.

Sitting on the bed, staring blankly at a point in the sky.

Aunt Bai immediately laughed and asked, "Is the girl so excited that she woke up early in the morning?"

As she spoke, she lifted up half of the bed curtain and hung it on the Ruyi copper hook.

Song Qingyue herself didn't know why, but after experiencing such a situation, she felt calmer than ever before.

She now truly has a sense of belonging to this world.

She thought in her heart that the parents she loved had changed from the two blurred faces in the previous life, and turned into Mr. Song, Mrs. Liang, Aunt Chun, Song Chenhai, Song Chenxu, Song Yaxin, Song Yuxi and several brothers and sisters...

…

She is truly a person of this world, she thought.

Just do as the Romans do.

She can do the same things that other women can do.

It's not that hard, she thought.

After bathing in the fragrant soup, Mo Yun and Mo Xiang stood behind her and used dry handkerchiefs to twist her hair, while Aunt Bai in front held two cotton threads to open her face.

After her hair was wrung dry, Aunt Bai took down the bright red blouse and horse-faced skirt that were placed on the shelf, and helped Song Qingyue put them on.

At this time, Ms. Liang came in with Mrs. Xu and another grandma who was responsible for doing hair and makeup.

Mrs. Liang held a tortoiseshell comb carved with auspicious dragons and phoenixes, and while combing her hair, she said auspicious words:

“Comb it all the way to the end;

The girl with two combs has white hair reaching her eyebrows;

The girl with three combs has children and grandchildren all over the place;

Four combs..."

Song Qingyue listened to the words in Liang's mouth, and her tears fell again unsatisfactorily.

Ms. Liang and Mrs. Xu were stunned at the same time, but they saw Song Qingyue turned around and hugged Ms. Liang tightly.

At first, Mrs. Liang was a little at a loss, but then she sighed, with tears in her eyes. She raised her hand and touched Song Qingyue's head, and said, "If you suffer any grievances in the palace in the future, you will come home. Your father, please come back."

As long as you have me, I will always love you."

Song Qingyue nodded hard twice, wiped her eyes with some embarrassment, and turned around.

After Mrs. Liang said the auspicious words, she handed the comb to the nanny who specialized in combing her hair and asked her to help her make a very complicated and beautiful bun. Then Mother Xu helped put on makeup.

The large square red carved lacquer box on the table contains a box full of pearls that were split into half, all used for veneer.

After putting on makeup, Mother Xu used the prepared elm bark juice to apply pearls to the corners of her eyes, eyebrows, temples, and corners of her lips. This was the first time Song Qingyue applied pearls to her face.

She had a sullen face, not daring to speak or make any expression. She only blinked her big, watery eyes, fearing that the beads would fall off, which made Mrs. Liang and all the nuns laugh.

"Third girl, this elm bark juice sticks well! Don't be afraid to speak, it won't fall off."

Song Qingyue just hummed, but still didn't dare to speak casually.

Madam Liang pursed her lips and smiled. The maid outside came to report that the carriages from Princess Duanyi's Mansion and Duke Wei's Mansion had arrived at the door. Madam Liang said, "These two girls are here too early!"

The maids and grandmothers in the room all laughed, and Mother Xu said, "Both aunts love the third girl."

Song Qingyue smiled slightly, but still did not dare to smile too big because of the beads on her face.

After a while, a servant came to report that Miss Meng was also here.

Mrs. Liang raised her eyebrows in surprise, and Song Qingyue couldn't open her mouth to explain vaguely: "My friend."

Mrs. Liang hummed, as if relieved, and said earnestly: "Seeing that you never go out and don't play with girls of the same age, I thought you didn't even have a handkerchief. After you get married,

We can no longer be so withdrawn and closed-off."

Song Qingyue nodded slightly with a solemn expression, indicating that she had taken her mother's words to heart.
