The Valued Lady is Truly Dominant

Chapter 951: Chapter 951: Let Me Pour You a Bowl of Toxic Positivity

The Princess Consort of Prince Min listened to Song Ci’s words, smiled, and said, ”You are being modest. Your family’s young master is truly admirable. At such a young age, for him to bravely leave his parents and family to enlist is indeed impressive.”

Song Ci’s eyebrow twitched slightly: ”Even you know about it?”

The Princess Consort of Prince Min nodded: ”I happened to hear a word about it when I returned a letter to my uncle’s house.” After a pause, she added, ”Rest assured, I won’t spread such matters. In fact, no one would sit with me for tea and chat like you do.”

In her words, there was self-mockery, yet not a trace of sorrow, as if she was already accustomed to it.

Song Ci said, ”There are no walls in the world that are completely airtight. Whether the Princess says anything or not doesn’t matter, as he’s been away from the capital for so long. Anyone with interest would find out with a little inquiry.”

The Princess Consort of Prince Min thought it was true, after all, the Song Family is not without significance.

”The Madam is truly blessed, all her children and grandchildren are outstanding. I also heard you have another grandson. I’ll toast with tea instead of wine, congratulations on your golden grandson.” The Princess Consort of Prince Min raised her teacup in a toast.

Song Ci also raised her tea, smiling, ”Thank you. This grandson of mine didn’t come easily, today I came to the temple to pay respects and pray for him, and also to make an offering. If you don’t mind, Princess, join us later to share in the joy.”

The Princess Consort of Prince Min was startled, then quickly nodded with a smile: ”Alright.”

For a moment, neither spoke, and occasionally a mountain breeze would blow, creating a sense of tranquility.

Song Ci curiously looked at the side profile of the Princess Consort of Prince Min, wondering how she managed to live under this identity with such calm composure.

To be honest, the Princess Consort of Prince Min was much more unaffected than many of the young women she had seen. She was like a high mountain flower, disdainful of competing with others, perhaps disdaining competition altogether, seemingly having long recognized her role as a flower only to be admired by others.

”The Madam keeps looking at me, is it because a flower has grown on my face?” The Princess Consort of Prince Min felt a bit uneasy under such intense gaze, so intense it was hard to ignore.

Song Ci blurted out, ”It’s not that a flower has grown on your face, you yourself are the high mountain flower, I’m just in awe looking at you.”

The Princess Consort of Prince Min’s face warmed: ”???”

This is a compliment, right? Why does it feel a bit like teasing? Is it an illusion?

Nanny silently glanced at her blushing face and averted her gaze: It’s no illusion, you are indeed being teased.

”Madam, you jest. I’m just an ant among the masses, I can’t even crawl out, living my life under the gazes of others.” The Princess Consort of Prince Min smiled lightly, her tone carrying a hint of desolation.

”Life is impermanent, but by looking at things from a different angle, you always discover new scenery, like this.” Song Ci pointed at the scenery before them and gestured for her to turn around, ”Look, isn’t it different? Living under others’ gaze doesn’t matter, you can choose how to live. Since you’ve come to this world, strive to live comfortably, that’s enough.”

”In fact, there are many troubles in this world, but it’s not troubles that seek you out, it’s you who choose them. So, I have a word for you, Princess: No one can trap you but yourself. Didn’t you come to Songshan Temple because you know this?”

The Princess Consort of Prince Min was slightly shaken and sincerely said, ”The Madam is truly a wise person.”

Song Ci playfully replied, ”The Princess flatters me. I have always hidden my merit and reputation, not worth mentioning, ha ha.”

In fact, I’m just a transporter of ’toxic chicken soup’.
