Obviously, Song Huan's method worked.
Before the dinner officially started, the hatred between Shangguan Yi and Xu Rong had risen to an unprecedented new height!
Song Huan had reason to believe that at this moment, the two of them were eager to strangle each other to death on the spot.
Seeing that the hatred was almost gone, Song Huan stepped forward to be the peacemaker.
"Okay, okay, you two adults, stop arguing!"
"It's all my fault. It's my fault that the joke I made was really inappropriate, which caused the conflict between the two of you."
"Let's do this, you two should give me some face!"
"After drinking this cup of tea, everyone will put aside their past grudges and have a meal together!"
"how?"
With that said, Song Huan stood up in a pretentious manner and took the initiative to raise the tea cup at hand.
"Here's to you two adults!"
Shangguan Yi and Xu Rong are still angry, so they are not willing to raise a glass to drink with each other!
But seeing that Song Huan, as the prince, had already taken the initiative to raise a toast, the two of them had no choice but to betray him, so they could only suppress the anger in their hearts and stood up.
"Thank you, Fourth Prince!"
Xu Rong raised his neck and drank the tea in one gulp, then turned his head and saluted Song Huan perfunctorily.
"I'm sorry, Fourth Prince, I really have something important to do, and I have to report it to His Majesty immediately!"
"I have no choice but to say goodbye first!"
After saying that, Xu Rong gave Shangguan Yi a hard look, turned around and left without looking back.
Shangguan Yi's eyes spurted endless ridicule and coldness.
If you have something important to do, why don't you rush to the palace to complain to the emperor?
Do you really think that you have nothing to say in front of the emperor?
Seeing that Xu Rong was the first to complain, Shangguan Yi naturally couldn't sit still.
"Thank you for your highness's kindness in hosting the banquet. I have something to do, so I took the first step!"
After saying that, Shangguan Yi also stood up and walked out quickly.
However, the moment he turned around to leave.
A jade pendant hanging on Song Huan's belt suddenly attracted Shangguan Yi's attention!
Shangguan Yi is very familiar with this jade pendant.
Ten years ago, Northern Xinjiang paid tribute to Emperor Liang with a batch of fine Hetian jade materials. At that time, Emperor Liang rewarded the jade materials to three powerful officials at the same time.
In order to reward the housekeeper Jiang Lin, Shangguan Yi specially made a jade pendant from this material and gave it to him.
From then on, Jiang Lin wore the jade on his body every day and never left it.
But now, how could this jade pendant appear on the fourth prince's body...
Seeing that Shangguan Yi noticed this jade pendant, Song Huan smiled and said, "Does the Grand Master also like this kind of jade pendant?"
"This jade pendant was given to me by one of my friends."
"If the Grand Master likes it, I can also give it to the Grand Master!"
Shangguan Yi raised his head and looked at Song Huan's eyes carefully.
He originally thought that when the fourth prince suddenly mentioned the jade pendant in front of him, he didn't know if he had caught something against Jiang Lin, so he took the opportunity to blackmail him!
But seeing the fourth prince's eyes clear and without any scheming, he didn't seem to be pretending to be confused.
Could it be that he really didn't take the opportunity to beat himself up?
Shangguan Yi was confused and continued calmly: "Oh?"
"This jade pendant looks to be of excellent quality, and you can tell at a glance that it's expensive."
"This friend of His Highness must be very generous to His Highness!"
But what Shangguan Yi didn't expect was.
Song Huan actually smiled faintly: "Actually, to be honest with what the Grand Master said, I only keep in touch with this friend through letters and have never met in person!"
"This friend always advises me and is one of my most effective advisers."
"It's just a pity that I still don't know who he is."
"But I have promised him that I will never treat him badly in the future!"
As if he realized that he had spoken too much, Song Huan suddenly covered his mouth and said in embarrassment: "Oh, I am so happy that I started talking about these nonsense again."
"It's delaying the Grand Master's business!"
"If you have something urgent, sir, just go and do it first!"
Shangguan Yi didn't say anything more, but simply bowed his hand to Song Huan, then left with his thoughts on his mind.
He originally planned to go straight to the palace after leaving Changchunfang to see how Xu Rong was going to falsely accuse him in front of the emperor!
However, after talking to Song Huan for a few words, Shangguan Yi changed his mind.
Instead of worrying about what Xu Rong will say, you should pay more attention to your own backyard!
To avoid being kept in the dark about a fire in your backyard!
Su Wenqiang, the boss of Changchunfang, is guarding the gate cautiously, fearing that he will not take good care of him today and neglect the three big bosses in Changchunfang.
However, when he saw Xu Rong walking out with an angry look on his face, Su Wenqiang's heart thumped and he said something was wrong!
Judging from the General's posture, he probably didn't enjoy himself in there!
However, Xu Rong had just left not long ago.
Su Wenqiang saw again that Grand Master Shangguan Yi's face was ashen, he bit his cheek tightly and walked quickly onto the carriage.
"this……"
Su Wenqiang was extremely frightened!
It's over, the faces of the general and the grand master are so ugly.
It seems that he is very dissatisfied with the food at Changchunfang!
At this moment, Su Wenqiang thought of many things in his mind.
Including how to let your family take care of your own funeral!
Seeing the Fourth Prince Song Huan slowly walking out, Su Wenqiang wrinkled his face and approached him fearfully.
"Your Highness the Fourth Prince, the common people have really done their best!"
"I didn't expect that I can't satisfy you all. It's because the grassroots are not capable enough!"
"Fourth Prince, the common people think you have a good face and are a good person."
"Can you please leave a whole body for the common people so that they can go away with dignity?"
Song Huan couldn't laugh or cry: "What whole body?"
Su Wenqiang said with a mournful face: "The common people see that the general and the grand master both have gloomy expressions and look dissatisfied!"
"It is conceivable that today's meal must not be delicious enough..."
Seeing Su Wenqiang's expression of despair, Song Huan laughed loudly.
"Hahahahaha..."
"Who can tell?"
“This meal is very good!”
"Didn't you see that this king was enjoying his meal?"
"Go back to the third prince to receive the reward!"
Su Wenqiang looked at Song Huan with confusion, and felt relieved when he saw that he didn't seem to be joking.
"Your Highness, you scared the common people to death!"
"As long as you are satisfied, the food prepared by the grass people will not be in vain!"
There are still many good people in this world!
Especially there are not many dignitaries as approachable as the Fourth Prince!
Song Huan still had a smile on his face, but there was a deep chill in his eyes.
His eyes closely followed Shangguan Yi's carriage as he drove away, with eight words echoing in his mind -
A thousand-mile embankment collapsed in an ant nest!
It is not easy to defeat an old shadow like Shangguan Yi who leaves no traces from the outside.
However, if a breakthrough can be found from within, this seemingly indestructible fortress will gradually begin to collapse.
Now, the jade pendant that Song Huan holds in his hand is this small breakthrough!
