Xu Rong was stunned by this sudden question.
"Well done, what are you asking Concubine Shu to do?"
"Besides, I am a minister, how can I know about Concubine Shu?"
Song De was a little anxious and looked like he was about to cry: "It's such a feast today, but my mother and concubine didn't even attend!"
"Uncle, did my mother-in-law do something to make my father unhappy..."
Xu Rong interrupted Song De impatiently: "A man should be concerned about making achievements!"
"How can you be entangled in such a trivial matter!"
"Besides, mother is as valuable as son. If His Highness gets the attention of the Emperor, Concubine Shu will naturally receive preferential treatment!"
"What happened in Yuhua Garden just now?"
Recalling what happened just now, Song De sighed unconsciously again.
"Just now……"
"well!"
After listening to Song De's description of the cause and effect just now, the cup in Xu Rong's hand suddenly fell to the ground.
"Why would such a thing happen?"
"Your Majesty, by acting like this, isn't your partiality too blatant?"
"No, I want to face the Holy Spirit immediately and ask His Majesty to take this matter seriously!"
"Uncle, don't go!"
Song De stretched out his hand to stop Xu Rong.
Although his brain wasn't moving fast enough, no matter how stupid he was, he could understand what just happened.
"Father, with his golden words, has already agreed to the marriage between Song Yu and the third princess!"
"If I go to ask my father to investigate this matter strictly now, wouldn't I be asking my father to go back on his word and slap me in the face?"
"Moreover……"
"I wonder what my mother-in-law did to make my father so angry!"
"If my uncle goes to meet the Holy Spirit so rashly, I'm afraid my father will be furious!"
Xu Rong calmed down, but there was still a lot of unwillingness in his eyes.
"What should we do?"
"Today's great opportunity was wasted like this!"
"I also made a wedding dress for Song Yu and fulfilled his good deeds!"
"When I think about this, I can't sleep at night!"
Not to mention that Xu Rong couldn't sleep at night, how could Song De swallow his anger when he thought of this?
Song De thought for a moment and lowered his voice to Xu Rong: "What happened tonight was not witnessed by my nephew alone!"
"In addition to the Taishi's gang members, there are also neutral factions headed by Prime Minister Cheng Xun in the court."
"If these neutral factions find out that the prince has done such a treasonous thing, they will ask my father to pay a sky-high price to compensate the Xia Kingdom..."
Hearing this, Xu Rong's eyes lit up.
"sure!"
"Those guys like Cheng Xun are so loyal, they would do anything for Daliang."
"The prince made a mistake in this matter. Why should Daliang pay a sky-high price to take responsibility for his mistake?"
"absurd!"
Speaking of this, Xu Rong glanced at Song De with admiration.
"His Highness is becoming more and more intelligent now. Faced with such a difficult situation, he can still stay calm and come up with a solution!"
If it were normal, Song De would definitely have his tail raised to the sky when faced with such praise from Xu Rong.
But tonight, he couldn't be happy at all.
Especially when he thought of his father's attitude towards him just now, Song De felt even more chilled!
As a son, how could Song Yu still be safe despite making such an outrageous mistake?
Even though he had done nothing wrong, he still had to be punished by Emperor Liang?
Song De couldn't understand!
He only knew that if things continued to develop in the long run, even if Song Yu couldn't be the crown prince, he might not be able to do it himself!
…
In the imperial study room.
Emperor Liang drank a few more drinks tonight, his face flushed, his eyes closed tightly and he leaned back on the chair.
Song Huan sat opposite Emperor Liang. He didn't know whether Emperor Liang was sleeping or awake, and he didn't dare to disturb him rashly, so he had to sit bored.
"Ahem."
Hearing Emperor Liang cough a few times, Song Huan quickly stood up and served a cup of hot tea to Emperor Liang.
"Father, this is the sobering tea that Eunuch Xue just sent you. Please drink some."
Emperor Liang took the teacup, but did not drink the tea. Instead, he held the teacup in his hand thoughtfully.
I saw him let out a long breath, and there was a lingering sadness between his brows.
"Fourth, what do you think of what happened tonight?"
Song Huan had expected early on that Emperor Liang would definitely ask him this question, so he opened his mouth and answered: "The prince and the third princess are in love. They are a match made in heaven. They are a talented man and a beautiful woman. You and I."
"fine!"
Emperor Liang lowered his face: "There are only two of you and me here, tell the truth!"
Song Huan's expression did not change: "The prince single-handedly not only made the noble princess and future mother of a country a Xia citizen, but he also did such an unbearable and despicable thing!"
"Not only have you disgraced your face and the royal family's face, but you also made the lions of Xia Kingdom open their mouths and take away countless properties and treasures of my Xia Kingdom for nothing!"
"It's not too much to say that the prince deserves to be cut to pieces by a thousand cuts!"
Emperor Liang: "...Lao Si, you really dare to say anything."
Song Huan showed no fear on his face: "Father, are you right?"
"Family scandals must not be made public. In front of Xia Wenqi tonight, there is nothing you can do to reprimand the prince."
"But tomorrow at the court, if Xia Wenqi asks you for a sky-high price in front of all the civil and military officials, then you will really have nothing to say!"
"You are the Emperor of Daliang, how can you be manipulated and threatened by the prince of a small country?"
Song Huan originally didn't plan to say so much, because this matter had nothing to do with him from beginning to end!
Why should I come to this muddy water?
But as the prince of Daliang, facing such provocation from a small country like Fan Bang, Song Huan really couldn't swallow his bad breath!
Song Huan's impassioned speech attracted applause from Emperor Liang.
"good!"
"Fourth, you said it very well!"
"I have been optimistic about your son a long time ago, and today it seems that I am indeed right about you!"
Song Huan's right eyelid twitched several times.
Strange!
This was obviously a compliment, but when Song Huan heard it, why did he always feel weird?
Emperor Liang's words gave Song Huan a bad feeling.
"As a prince, this is what a minister should do."
"No, no, no," Emperor Liang said with a smile in his eyes, "Among all my sons, you are the best!"
"You are my personally appointed Prince Rong, and your ability is obvious to all."
"In that case, it's up to you to come forward and persuade the Crown Prince of Xia."
Song Huan's eyes almost fell off.
"Son... are you going to go?"
"No, no!"
"My son is very stupid, I can't do it!"
"Then what kind of sharp-tongued person is the Crown Prince of Xia?"
"I can't compare to my clumsy tongue!"
