Who would have thought that before she could finish copying the Diamond Sutra, the weather in the palace would change.
Song Qian was at home in the temple, imagining a beautiful future.
When she received the news from the empress, Song Qian did not believe it. She thought that the empress was deliberately threatening her.
What did she mean by Song Tan's crazy illness had recovered What did she mean by Song Tan becoming the official's favorite daughter What did she mean by staying well in the temple? She did not know that she had lost her status in the palace. The weather in the palace had changed.
Wasn't Song Tan a fool She was even a princess who had married into the palace. She had thought it through. After leaving the palace, she had only seen the Guan family twice a month. How did she become the favorite of the Guan family?
Song Qian scoffed at first. When she turned around, she remembered that when she had arrived at the Temple, the Guan family had sent people to deliver supplements and ask about her well-being. How long had it been since the palace had sent supplements?
Her heart instantly became anxious and uneasy. Song Qian gritted her teeth and stayed in the temple for a few more days. If she stayed any longer, she felt that something was not right.
Therefore, she took the first half of the Vajra Sutra that she had copied and sent someone back to the Imperial Palace to present it to the imperial court to test the attitude of the imperial court.
This test made Song Qian's heart turn cold.
The Vajra Sutra was sent over and she received some rewards, but there was no more news from the imperial court.
When she received the Vajra Sutra from Song Qian, the imperial court was in the imperial consort's Palace. They saw that Song Tan was being put on the spot by the imperial consort and insisted that she learn how to distinguish colors and how to dress.
Looking at the perfectly fine clothes that Song Tan had used to match them with red and green, the intense visual impact put the imperial court's aesthetic standards to a serious test. They also felt that the imperial consort was so angry that she jumped on her feet in a very cute manner.
While they were busy with the noble consort and Song Tan, the Diamond Sutra came from the opposite temple. After taking a look, the palace servant took the scroll and left.
The Guan family did not reject their daughter's petty thoughts.
However, Song Qian's thoughts were too high-profile. The Guan family knew very well that she was scheming against the sacred heart.
Although they doted on her, it was only average.

While they were in the temple and saw the Diamond Sutra presented, there was still no movement in the palace. There was not even a call for her to return to the palace.
Song Qian's heart sank. Suddenly, she realized that the letter from the empress was not lying to her.
There were too many variables in the palace during the time she was away.
Song Qian gritted her teeth and hardened her heart. She found the palace maids to imitate her handwriting and copied the next volume of the Diamond Sutra in one night.
She could naturally return to the palace after copying the entire volume of the Diamond Sutra.
After returning to the palace from the temple, Song Qian also gave the official family a copy. The official family gave a good reply and there was no other news.

Song Qian's face burned. With a heavy heart, she boarded the carriage and returned to the palace.
The News of Princess Fukang returning to the palace spread like wings.
The attitude of the officials determined Song Qian's position in the palace.
In Song Qian's imagination, the honor and favor she would receive when she returned to the palace this time would be very grand.
There would be the officials personally receiving her, the empress'love, and Zhang Guifei's support.
The officials did not have a daughter by their side. How could they not be happy when they saw her return?
The reality and imagination were very different. When she returned to the palace, she returned to the palace. The palace was quiet, and everyone was watching. The officials did not send anyone to see her, and it was Song Qian who found an opportunity to meet the officials in the imperial garden She spoke to the official family.
The empress and the noble consort... ...
