Princess Mindai nodded and said, "Of course I remember."

"It was just a little bit of noodles, just a bowl of noodles, but you couldn't bear to eat it. Give it to me."

"You were so stupid. You told me you ate. If the peasant woman hadn't told me you almost fainted from hunger, I wouldn't have known this."

Princess Mindai grew up in the palace and usually wears a mask in her life.

The same is true of her mother.

Everyone who grew up well in the palace has some tricks and will make secret calculations.

The truly simple people died long ago.

So Princess Mindai knows how to live a good life.

She will please many people, especially her father.

They are people from her uncle's family, and they just want to gain benefits through her mother and her.

It's all about mutual benefit and interdependence.

But it was not until she met Song Xiangjian that Princess Mindai knew what it looked like for someone to be nice to her.

She still remembered that time when she was out for a trip and it started snowing halfway.

At that time, they encountered refugees, which startled the carriage. It was Song Xiangjian who happened to pass by and saved her.

She had sprained her foot at the time, and there was no other way, so he carried her on his back and went to a farmer's house to stay overnight.

It was chaotic outside, so they didn't dare to go out rashly.

It was freezing cold and snowing, and the farmers had little food.

I don't know how he got a bowl of noodles and cooked it for her.

He then sent her back.

Afterwards, she told her mother that she wanted Song Xiangjian to be her consort.

My mother investigated the Song family's financial situation. Although there was no problem, my mother was not happy.

She knew that her mother actually looked down on the Song family, but she insisted on doing so.

Ever since Song Xiangjian became her consort, she begged her mother and her uncle to use their connections to arrange for Song Xiangjian to join the Imperial Guard.

Now he has become a sword-bearing guard in front of the emperor.

Song Xiangjian said, "I didn't have time to think about so much at the time. I just couldn't bear to see you hungry."

"It was freezing cold then, and eating some hot noodles could warm up the body."

Song Xiangjian accompanied Princess Mindai and reminisced about the past.

After they had finished talking, Song Xiangjian brought up some things.

"I see that the capital has been under martial law again recently. Is there any problem?"

Princess Min Dai frowned and said, "It's because something happened to Madam Wu. Who would have thought that Madam Wu was a spy?"

"General Wu lost the disaster relief grain and silver. How many people could have been saved with that grain and silver? Only a spy could do such a thing."

As a princess of the royal family, Princess Mindai had to learn the history of the State of Yan and how the previous dynasty perished since she was in school.

She then understood the importance of loyal generals and common people to a dynasty.

Furthermore, if refugees and civilians cause chaos, the country will be in danger.

"And that General Wu is also stupid, trusting a woman who showed up at the border."

"That Shen Lian deserves to die."

"But because of her incident, people are now in a panic. Father is now suspicious of this and that."

Princess Mindai has felt the atmosphere in the palace has become solemn every time she has entered the palace these days.

Her father looked unhappy and didn't even smile.

Her mother asked her not to enter the palace these days and stay out of the spotlight.

When Song Xiangjian lowered his head, his face became stiff.

"Didn't the Emperor say how to deal with that Madam Wu?"

"I heard that the trial is still ongoing. Mrs. Wu is a stubborn person and I heard that she didn't say anything."

"I don't know how the spies in Southern Xinjiang were trained, but they are so stubborn."

"You should be more careful when you are on duty recently and don't ask for random information."

Min Dai would always be very sensitive to the movements in the court and the harem, and would always remind Song Xiangjian at the first opportunity to help him avoid danger.

Song Xiangjian pondered for a while and said, "Jiangzhou is providing disaster relief this time. I was thinking, can I also go to Jiangzhou to help?"

When Min Dai heard this, her face changed, "How can that be possible?"

"Jiangzhou is so dangerous right now, the prince may not be able to return safely."

Song Xiangjian whispered, "I have been just a royal guard for so many years. Others would laugh at me and say that your consort is so useless."

"I want to take this opportunity to make a contribution, maybe others won't say those things."

Song Xiangjian looked like he was blaming himself.

Princess Mindai comforted him, "Don't worry, I don't care about these statements."

"Don't take any risks. I don't need you to do anything."

"If you are worried about the Song family, I have already told my uncle that your nephew is talented in studying. When he graduates from the Imperial College and passes the imperial examination, I will arrange for him to work in the Ministry of War."

"Even if I fail the exam, my uncle can help me arrange an official position, and I can also ask my father for help."

"By then, we can even let Qibin marry a princess, and the status of the Song family can be preserved."

Princess Mindai knew that Song Xiangjian cared about his eldest brother's son Song Qibin.

Song Xiangjian looked touched, "Only Minmin would care so much about me and the Song family."

Mindai smiled shyly.

Song Xiangjian usually just called her Mindai, and only called her Minmin in some very private situations.

Song Xiangjian wanted to say something.

But he knew that the princess had made her decision, so it would be useless for him to say anything more.

Instead it will arouse suspicion.

He understood the princess's temperament, so he knew when to stop talking.

After dinner, when it was time to go to bed, incense was lit in the house.

Soon, a blushing voice came from inside the house.

But looking closely inside the gauze curtain, only Princess Mindai was caught in the hallucination, twisting her body back and forth.

Song Xiangjian sat at the table, drinking water, looking indifferent and disgusted.

After a long time, when the house was quiet and he was sure that Princess Mindai was asleep, Song Xiangjian quietly left the princess's mansion and went to the Song family.

Song Xiangjian first returned to his room in the Song family, then opened the secret passage and entered his sister-in-law's room.

When Mrs. Meng saw Song Xiangjian coming, she ran up to him and hugged him, saying, "You finally came back to see me!"

Song Xiangjian hugged Meng tightly.

"I came here today to tell you something important."

Upon hearing this, Meng realized something and looked up at him.

Seeing Song Xiangjian's flushed and solemn expression, Meng's heart skipped a beat.

"What happened?"

"How is Qibin now?"

"I am still studying at the Imperial College."

Song Xiangjian said: "If something happens to the Song family, you should take Qibin away and don't let anyone know about our relationship."

He originally wanted to arrange for Qibin to leave early, but if that were the case, he would be more likely to be suspected.

Moreover, once Song Qibin leaves the capital and is taken away by southern Xinjiang, the consequences will be even more disastrous.

So he could only give such instructions and make such arrangements.

But he still felt a little inexplicably panicked, fearing that Shen Lian had really confessed something.

However, the princess said so, but Shen Lian was too stubborn to say anything.

It would be fine if you hadn't spoken yet.

It won't bite him out.

Once he is revealed, even if the princess protects him, will the emperor let him go?

And all the plans made over the years have been wasted.

The master will definitely be furious.

No one knows what will be done then.

He didn't even know if he could keep silent after being caught.

Meng's face changed drastically. "What nonsense are you talking about? You will be fine. You will be fine, right?"

Song Xiangjian showed a bitter look.

What he fears most is that he cannot protect the people he really wants to protect.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Meng also became afraid.

"Don't worry, I will do my best to protect Qibin, and no one will know the relationship between you and me."

The Song family didn't know about this for years.

Song Xiangjian looked at Meng deeply.

After all these years, she seems to have not changed.

Still so beautiful.

"Just can you please be okay?"

“There’s a solution to everything, right?”

"The princess will definitely protect you and the Song family, right?"

Although Meng felt bitter when she mentioned the princess.

But she knew that Song Xiangjian didn't like Princess Mindai at all.

He told her that it was something he had to do.

She also knew that he had secrets, but he didn't tell her and she never asked about them.
