In the General's Mansion.
"Snapped!"
As soon as Xu Rong stepped into the main hall, he threw his hat on the table angrily.
Song De followed him, looking downcast, like a child who had made a mistake.
Li Ping'an's position did not allow him to enter the Hall of Supreme Harmony, so he waited in the general's mansion for Xu Rong and Song De to return.
Seeing that Xu Rong looked ugly and Song De was even more depressed, Li Ping'an knew that nothing good must have happened in today's tribute ceremony!
"Your Highness, General, you are back."
"today……"
Before Li Ping'an finished asking, Song De took the lead and said, "I know that my uncle is angry with my nephew. It's my fault that my nephew can't keep his anger!"
"But today, that old thief Shangguan Yi went too far. He even dared to dance in front of me regardless of life or death!"
"No wonder I took action!"
"And that evil beast Song Yu dares to make a fuss about my king's injury!"
"Damn it!"
"Let me tell you, the beating and scolding of the two of them today was not unjust at all!"
Song De was so excited that he accidentally talked too much.
Seeing that Xu Rong's expression was extremely bad, Song De had no choice but to shut his mouth angrily, not daring to say anything more.
Xu Rong raised his head slightly and glanced at Song De.
"Finished?"
"The second prince has a straightforward personality, and he will definitely retaliate against you!"
"Of course I don't dare to say anything more!"
"If the second prince has any grudges or grudges, he can just take them out on the spot!"
"Don't worry about His Majesty's face!"
Seeing that Xu Rong was obviously angry, Song De softened for a second: "Uncle, my nephew knew he was wrong!"
"My nephew really didn't listen to his uncle's advice and failed to control his temper!"
"Now that Song Yu and Xia Guo are married, Song Huan's 'tea-horse trade' has won the hearts of the Holy Spirit again!"
"In the short tribute ceremony, these two actually stole the show!"
"My nephew is really dissatisfied!"
"I beg my uncle for some advice. What should my nephew do to turn the tide and recover the losses?"
Hearing Song De mention this matter, Xu Rong couldn't help but have a headache!
"What His Highness said is indeed a very difficult question!"
"After all, His Majesty has not yet given your golden consent to the marriage between the Crown Prince and Princess Xia, so there is still room for change."
"But the fourth prince's suggestion of a tea-horse trade seems to be quite satisfactory to His Majesty!"
"Once this is accomplished, it will be equivalent to another achievement for the Fourth Prince."
"Then when the time comes, it will be even more difficult to defeat him..."
Song De was already anxious, but after hearing Xu Rong's analysis, he couldn't help but become even more anxious.
"Then uncle, what should we do now?"
"Are we going to try our best to persuade the Crown Prince of Xia not to agree to Song Huan's proposal?"
"The Crown Prince of the Xia Kingdom is also a very scheming person, so he will not easily agree to our request!"
Xu Rong glanced at Song De indifferently, feeling more and more that this nephew was as stupid as a pig, and he could think of such an unexpected solution!
"Of course not!"
"Family scandals should not be made public. Do we have to rely on him, a Xia man, to resolve our Daliang affairs?"
"Too unreliable!"
"However, I do have a way, maybe I can try it..."
Upon hearing that Xu Rong might have a solution, Song De's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Appreciate further details!"
Xu Rong played with the jade ring on his hand and said slowly: "I remember that the reason why Cheng Susu married Prince Rong was because Cheng Susu appeared in Prince Rong's bedroom late at night."
"If I remember correctly, this matter was planned by you, Your Highness, right?"
Mentioning this matter, a trace of resentment flashed in Song De's eyes.
"good!"
"It was the third child who gave me the idea at the beginning, saying that this method could kill two birds with one stone and use Song Huan, a loser, to make Song Yu lose face!"
"Just right, it can prevent the Prime Minister from being attracted by Song Yu!"
"I just didn't expect that Song Huan would be lucky enough to escape and get his father to agree to marry Cheng Susu to him!"
"And it was from that time on that Song Huan's whole person became completely different!"
At this point, Song De clenched his fist loudly, as if he wanted to crush Song Huan's head on the spot!
Xu Rong shook his head lightly: "Last time, Prince Rong was able to escape because Cheng Susu was the daughter of my Daliang courtier."
"They are all from Daliang anyway, so what difference does it make about which prince you marry?"
"For Your Majesty, the most important thing is to be able to preserve the face of the Tian family!"
"But, this time it's very different."
"Princess Xia is the apple of Prince Xia's eye, and her status is very special!"
"If at tonight's dinner, Prince Rong accidentally drinks too much and takes Princess Xia away..."
"Then in front of all the civil and military officials, in front of the Crown Prince of Xia Kingdom, will your Majesty still turn a blind eye to this matter and deal with it hastily?"
Upon hearing this, Song De's eyes suddenly lit up and his anger turned into joy.
"yes!"
"What my uncle said is absolutely true!"
"Why didn't I think of this before?"
"If Song Huan gets drunk and causes trouble at such a grand event and causes a big disaster again, wouldn't it mean that his father's face will be completely lost?"
"At that time, don't say that his position as prince is not guaranteed!"
"Maybe he won't even be able to protect his status as a prince!"
"When my father is angry, he will definitely depose him as a commoner!"
The more Song De talked, the more excited he became. He seemed to have seen the scene where Song Huan was expelled from the clan by Emperor Liang.
Xu Rongruo glanced at Song De vaguely: "Since His Highness also knows that Your Majesty values face the most."
"Then your Highness, do you think what you did today was right or wrong?"
As if someone had stabbed him in a sore spot, Song De quickly lowered his head: "Of course he did something wrong."
Xu Rong said seriously: "Tonight's dinner is very important. Your Highness must remember to never make this big mistake again!"
"I can see that that old thief Shangguan Yi caught His Highness' shortcomings of being irritable, so he provoked His Highness everywhere."
"I think Song Yu also specializes in His Highness's shortcomings and wants His Highness to be punished by His Majesty!"
"It is precisely because of this that His Highness needs to be careful and restrain his emotions. He must not let Shangguan Yi and others lead the way!"
"Do you understand?"
Song De rarely saw Xu Rong looking so serious and serious, so he didn't dare to neglect and nodded hurriedly.
"Uncle, don't worry, my nephew will remember it!"
"No matter how provocative they are, my nephew will never be impulsive and cause trouble!"
Xu Rong nodded with satisfaction, and was about to reach out to pick up the tea cup on the table, but unexpectedly the movement was too big, and he suddenly covered his waist and frowned.
"hiss--"
Seeing the pain on Xu Rong's face, Song De and Li Ping'an both expressed concern: "Uncle, what's wrong with you?"
"General, what's wrong with you?"
Big beads of sweat hung down Xu Rong's cheeks, making his already bloodless face look even more sallow.
"It's okay, old problem!"
"Go and get me some medicine!"
Li Pingan did not dare to waste any time, and quickly took out two pills and presented them to Xu Rong with both hands.
Xu Rong raised his trembling hands and swallowed the small pill.
After a long time, his face finally regained some color.
However, the right side of the abdomen was still aching.
Song De asked with concern: "Uncle, are you feeling well?"
"Would you like my nephew to call two imperial doctors to look at you?"
Xu Rong knew that she was just the queen of the night, and she was just unable to do what she wanted. This was not a serious problem.
What's more, it's about a man's glory, and he doesn't want Song De and other outsiders to know about it!
"No need, I know my body and bones well."
"It's getting late. After cleaning up, it's time to enter the palace for the dinner."
"yes!"
