Chapter 979: The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (One Hundred and One)
As the second wife, when Song Chen first married into the Prime Minister's Mansion, she had thought about winning over the children of the original wife to help her gain a foothold, and then giving birth to her own son and raising her step-sons and step-daughters as useless.
Just because she only has one daughter, she gave up her original idea and instead let her daughter build good relationships with her brothers and sisters, and strive to give her daughter everything her brothers and sisters have.
At least what Song Qingli has, Song Qingting must have.
Even if the Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion gave a gift to Song Qingli, they would not forget Song Qingting's share.
With Song Chen watching by the side, the Prime Minister would not ignore his younger daughter and would try his best to keep both sides fair. However, the younger daughter was indeed not one for studying hard.
Song Chen's strict discipline of Song Qingting was effective at first, but within a month, Song Qingting returned to her old ways, either skipping school or falling asleep in class. When she was punished, she cried so hard that her heart was broken, forcing Song Chen and the prime minister to compromise.
By the time Song Qingting was ten years old, she knew nothing. Apart from getting to know some young ladies and noble ladies in the capital so as not to offend anyone she couldn't afford to offend, all she did was eat, drink and have fun.
She didn't even learn needlework, so she could just hand it over to the embroiderer. If she learned, what would the embroiderer do? Song Chen wanted to see her embroidered purse, so she asked the embroiderer to embroider it a little worse. In the end, she took the purse and looked at it for a while, and then she knew it was her embroidery.
As for the monthly school, she had a headache today, abdominal pain tomorrow, and chest tightness the day after tomorrow. In short, she was weak and sickly and needed to take leave.
Several times, the teachers caught her playing shuttlecock or flying a kite in the garden, feeding the fish by the pond, or trying to sneak out to play. She was so happy and cheerful, not even a hint of illness, that she drove several teachers away. Song Qingting didn't care. After all, her father was the prime minister! She didn't need a teacher.
Song Qingting herself did not study, and she despised her elder sister in her heart. She thought her elder sister was timid and did not dare to disobey the elders. She only learned boring things and did not want her to have plenty of time to run around the capital like she did.
Whenever the original body was studying hard, Song Qingting would drag her out to play. Once or twice, the original body would go along, but after too many times, the original body would politely decline. If she didn't go, Song Qingting would be unhappy, saying that she was only learning useless things.
But are those things really useless? Song Qingting must have known that they were knowledge that ordinary people didn't have the opportunity to learn.
Mothers always feel that their children deserve the best, so when Song Qingting was eleven years old, Song Chen specially spent a lot of money to invite a nanny from the palace to teach her daughter.
In order to avoid being talked about by others, the time to find a nanny was chosen when Qingli went to the temple to pray for her mother for a month.
When the nanny came, there was only one young lady in the mansion, so she was naturally there to teach the second young lady. She couldn't let the eldest young lady rush back to the mansion regardless of her mother's death anniversary, right?
Song Qingting was naturally happy at first. After all, her sister didn’t have it but she did. This was her own governess, who came from the palace!
But after just two days, she was unhappy. Why was she the only one who had to learn and suffer?
She felt that the nanny was deliberately making things difficult for her, requiring her to practice each action dozens or even hundreds of times, and also said that her etiquette was not well learned. Song Qingting was not convinced. Why did a person whose body was half buried in the ground have such a stern face? So the nanny was so angry that she fell seriously ill and wanted to leave the prime minister's residence.
How could Song Chen let the nanny go like this? Furthermore, this nanny had once been a member of the Grand Empress Dowager's palace, and even the current Empress Dowager and the Emperor knew her. If she really left like this, the ladies of the other palaces would laugh at her and her daughter tomorrow, and the nobles in the palace would have a problem with her.
Song Chen had no choice but to let go and kept the nanny well fed and well-fed. When Qingli came back, she personally took the nanny to Xianyueju.
The nanny taught Qingli for three months and left satisfied.
Song Qingting was only concerned with playing, but when she went out, she always felt uncomfortable when she heard others praising her elder sister. Especially when there were poetry competitions and her elder sister won the first place, she felt even more incompetent and jealous that her sister was more talented than her.
Song Qingting sulked several times and Qingli had to coax her and give her a lot of things before her mood improved.
Qingli thought that perhaps Song Qingting had been rejecting and jealous of the original owner for a long time, but she hid it deep down, making the original owner think that her sister was not a bad person, but just a little lazy and spoiled. However, she didn't know that Song Qingting's dissatisfaction was accumulating more and more, and she didn't want others to have what she didn't have.
So Song Qingting wanted to kill her own sister whenever she had the chance.
Song Qingting was still practicing hard in the royal temple. Qingli watched coldly from the side. She saw that Song Chen was disappointed with Song Qingting.
