Due to her current identity, Song Jinning didn't dare to get close to Song Shao in front of Empress Dowager Song and Li Chengxuan, but as soon as they left Shoukang Palace, Song Jinning raised her hand and held Song Shao's right arm.

Song Shao was taken aback. He was trying to break free, when Song Jinning stopped.

“What's the meaning of this elder brother? How is it possible that when I am married, I will no longer be elder brother's sister? Otherwise, why would you be so unfamiliar with me, and call me Empress, and no longer call me Ning'er? You didn't treat me like that before." The tone was soft, and her face was also very aggrieved.

When Song Shao saw it, his heart felt soft.

He only has one sister, how could he not love her.

But now she was married into the royal family and has become the Empress. As a man, with so many eyes around him, how could he still be close to her like that?

But looking at Song Jinning's aggrieved appearance at the moment, and the fact that he doesn’t know when he will see her again, Song Shao couldn't help but feel sour.

"Ning'er”, he whispered to Song Jinning, raising his hand to pat the back of her hand holding his right arm.

"Your eldest brother will leave the capital and go back to Yunnan tomorrow. From now on, you will be here alone, and you have to learn to take care of yourself."

Song Jinning has never been far away from them since she was born, but now she will be left alone in the capital by herself. 

Song Shao disagreed very much when Prince Nanyang’s manor received the imperial decree that Song Jinning was to go to Beijing and become the Empress. He would rather Song Jinning marry someone from a normal family than a noble family where she had to be far away. 

But this is destiny, and they have to obey it.

Although Song Jinning had some sad emotions in her heart, she felt much better than Song Shao. 

Because she knew that in three years she would be able to leave Beijing and return to Yunnan.

But she didn't dare tell this to Song Shao. She just said vaguely: "Brother, I like the yard where I live at home. You have to keep it neat for me. You can’t allow anyone to live there.”

But Song Shao felt even more sour when he heard what she said.

Silly! You are married into the royal family, how can you easily return to your natal family?

And your natal family is thousands of miles away in Yunnan...

If they are not summoned by decree, they will not be allowed to enter Beijing. It will be hard for Song Jinning to see her family from now on.

But there was still a smile on his face, and he said softly, "Ning'er, don't worry. I will definitely take care of your yard.”

Song Jinning pressed against Song Shao, and smiled at him with her eyes bent. Then she listened to Song Shao's instructions to her one by one. 

Song Jinning nodded again and again: "Big brother, don't worry."

She is too lazy to be with Li Chengxuan, and she’s just waiting to return to Yunnan after being deposed as soon as possible.

Seeing her careless and indifferent appearance, Song Shao couldn't help sighing in his heart.

But there is nothing that can be done.

Fortunately, Empress Dowager Song is here to protect Song Jinning. 

And although Prince Nanyang’s mansion is far away in Yunnan, Li Chengxuan must still be careful with the Song clan, and he must not dare to really wrong Song Jinning.

Song Shao finally left with a full stomach of anxiety. Song Jinning stood at the palace gate and only turned around until she couldn't see his back anymore.

Empress Dowager Song and Li Chengxuan in the hall were talking, but when they saw Song Jinning return, they stopped talking immediately. 

Song Jinning didn't care about what Empress Dowager Song just said to Li Chengxuan.

As the saying goes, there are some things not worth caring about.

She sat upright in the chair, with slightly drooping eyebrows, listening to Empress Dowager Song with a gentle smile on her face. From time to time, she answered in a slow voice.

Li Chengxuan sat on the opposite and glanced at her coldly, snorting in disdain.

Put it on again!
