After rebirth, I rejected the Regent, but he pursued me instead

"Mother, your child is here to see you."

Song Qiyan walked to a tombstone without any words on it and lightly sprinkled some wine.

It turned out that although Song Chengzhong left Jiang Xuening's spirit tablet in the palace, Jiang Xuening's body was not buried in the royal land, but on this mountain where flowers bloom all year round.

According to him, although he loved Jiang Xuening deeply, he was also responsible for Jiang Xuening's ending. For this reason, although he nominally kept Jiang Xuening by his side, he finally fulfilled her wish - burying her in a place far away from the palace and the world.

This can be regarded as the only right thing Song Chengzhong did.

"Mother, the irises are blooming this year too."

Song Qiyan placed the flowers in his hand in front of the tombstone, and then cleared the weeds around him.

It seems that the real tomb of Concubine Xian is just a small, plain and inconspicuous piece of land. Only a few people know where Concubine Xian was buried. No one often comes to this mountain, so the cemetery naturally looks deserted, but also much quieter.

Song Qi Yan lay down under a big tree in front of the tomb, closed his eyes, relaxed, and enjoyed a moment with his mother.

Soon, the corners of the eyes began to blush.

"Mother, if I had not been seduced by Zhou Jingcheng and fallen into his hands, would you not have left me so early?"

Gritting his teeth, he recalled the day when he lay there with his cold body, crying and shouting but could never wake Jiang Xue Ning up.

If the real murderer of his mother had not yet been caught, there was a moment when he wanted to follow his mother.

But he can't do that now. He wants to avenge his mother and make everyone who hurt his mother pay the price.

Song Qi Yan thought carefully, lying lazily under the tree, drinking sip after sip of wine.

He would only cry in front of her mother.

-

On this side, Qingxuan had no choice but to bring Jiang Wanyu to the foot of the mountain.

"Qingxuan, why are you here?"

Qingluan was sitting at the front of the carriage and was surprised to see her brother - usually the prince didn't like to have many people disturb the virtuous concubine, so he would usually only bring her or Qingxuan alone.

"Sister, I don't want to either, but..."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Wanyu jumped out of the car.

"This is where Consort Xian was buried."

Jiang Wanyu looked at the flowers all over the mountain and felt that it was also a warm place.

"But it's going to rain soon, and I'm afraid even the most beautiful flowers will be destroyed."

As she spoke, Qingluan bowed to Jiang Wanyu and said, "Hello, Miss Jiang."

Hearing this, Jiang Wanyu turned around and looked at Qingluan carefully. She was indeed a beauty as Jiang Sheng said.

"Miss Jiang, why are you here?"

"I'm here to see Song Qiyan."

Hearing this, Qingluan frowned and wanted to speak to stop them, but Jiang Wanyu took the umbrella and followed Song Qiyan's footprints to climb up the mountain.

"Miss, the prince cannot be disturbed at this time."

Qingluan quickly walked in front of Jiang Wanyu.

"No matter what his orders are, it's almost raining now, and his wounds haven't healed yet. He's so stubborn that he won't leave unless someone persuades him."

As she spoke, Jiang Wanyu followed Song Qiyan's footsteps and walked up, completely ignoring Qingluan's obstruction.

"But………"

Qingluan wanted to stop him again, but was stopped by Qingxuan.

"Sister, please don't try to persuade her. Miss Jiang is as stubborn as the prince. You can't persuade her."

"Qingxuan, the prince has ordered that no one can step into the tomb of the virtuous concubine. No matter how stubborn you are, you should be persuaded to come back."

Qingluan had a stern expression and spoke in a hurried tone, with a hint of anger in her heart. She tried to leave, but Qingxuan grabbed her around the waist.

"Sister, Miss Jiang is right. If no one goes to persuade the prince, he will already be injured. Being caught in the rain like this will only make things worse. Now that Miss Jiang is willing to persuade him, why should we stop her? And you also know that the prince will definitely not listen to us, but Miss Jiang is different. The prince may listen to her words. We should not bother her."

"Don't bother me..."

Qingluan's lips were pressed into a straight line, her eyelashes slightly suppressed the loss in her eyes, her fists were clenched, and she secretly blamed herself for not having any weight in the prince's heart, and only Miss Jiang could persuade him.

After that, he just waved away Qingxuan's hand and continued to sit in the carriage waiting for the prince's return.

"If Miss Jiang fails to persuade the prince to come back, then the two of us will carry him back."

"it is good!"

Qingxuan's eyes lit up and he nodded quickly, but he had no idea that his sister's heart was filled with complicated feelings at this moment.

-

It rained heavily during the Qingming Festival, and it had been drizzling for the past few days, so the road was wet. Jiang Wanyu had no choice but to lift up her dirty skirt and climb up carefully along the large footprints.

Although the slope is not high, the road is bumpy and difficult to walk on.

"If it wasn't for the fact that people in ancient times were not allowed to wear short sleeves and shorts, I would have changed into plain clothes and not rushed up there so awkwardly. I wouldn't have looked so embarrassed."

I think she had climbed high mountains before, so this small slope was no match for her. It was just that her dress restricted her movements.

Jiang Wanyu looked at the hem of her skirt that was stained with mud and sighed softly. If she had known earlier, she would not have worn such expensive clothes!

He gritted his teeth and climbed up without caring whether it was dirty or not. Finally, he saw Song Qi Yan's shadow under a tree.

At this time, the weather changed drastically and it began to drizzle. Jiang Wanyu slowly opened her umbrella and walked to Song Qiyan.

Song Qi Yan was seen lying under a tree, surrounded by several empty wine jars. He closed his eyes tightly, letting the drifting drizzle form a layer of fine and crystal clear water droplets on his eyelashes.

Is he crying?

Jiang Wanyu walked to his side cautiously, and for a moment she couldn't tell whether that sad face was covered with tears or just wet by the rain.

"How did you come?"

Song Qi Yan slowly opened his bloodshot eyes.

Jiang Wanyu's heart trembled slightly.

He really cried...

"Passing by."

"Passing by?"

Song Qiyan sneered. The Jiang family had nothing to do with this mountain, so how could they just pass by?

"This king is not in the mood to make trouble with you today, please go."

"Walk?"

How can I just leave the mountain I climbed with so much effort?

Jiang Wanyu walked quickly, stepped on the mud and stood in front of Song Qiyan, covering Song Qiyan's body completely with the umbrella.

"I'm not here to make trouble with you."

"Then what are you doing here?"

He ignored her, just spread out Jiang Wanyu's hand, picked up the wine in his hand, and took another sip.

He really wasn't in the mood to play with her today.

But Jiang Wanyu did not intend to give up. Instead, she picked up the tilted umbrella and stubbornly let it cover Song Qiyan.

"Come and apologize."

"apologize?"

"Two years ago, didn't I make a scene in front of your mother? I was ignorant at that time. I apologize to you now."

Jiang Wanyu pursed her lips and waited for Song Qiyan's reply, but this guy just replied coldly.

"I didn't take it seriously."

He did take it seriously before, but ever since Jiang Wanyu acted unreasonably in front of her mother, he no longer indulged her but kept his distance from her.

It's just that he didn't hold grudges much, and the time he spent with Jiang Wanyu made him forget about it, so he didn't take it seriously.

But Jiang Wanyu didn't know. She just thought that Song Qiyan had fallen into depravity and didn't even want to pay attention to her.

"Song Qiyan, are you planning to stay here all day in a sullen mood? It's raining and windy now. Do you know how much the people in the Northern Prince's Mansion care about you? Are you going to degrade your body like this?"

"So what? Is it your business, Ms. Jiang? I told you I don't want to play with you."

Song Qiyan's eyes were filled with anger, and he picked up the wine and drank it again.

Seeing this, Jiang Wanyu threw down her umbrella, reached out and snatched the wine jar from Song Qiyan's hand, and then gulped down the wine from the mouth of the jar.

"Okay, you want to stay here, right? Then I'll accompany you in the rain, and if you want to drink, I'll drink for you!"
