Song Shuyan listened quietly to the conversation between the mother and son, and didn't say much.

"In this case, as long as we are wise enough to protect ourselves and not get close to any prince, we will not be implicated if something happens to each other. ”

Song Ling nodded, "Mother and son think the same, so the son doesn't want Wanyan to do anything to provoke him." ”

"Don't worry, when Wanyan comes back, I will give me good advice. It is indeed too imprudent to do so. ”

The old lady was already annoyed by Song Wanyan in her heart, and sure enough, like her mother, she was born as a fox and racked her brains to seduce men.

After dinner, Song Wanyan went back to her yard.

The candlelight flickered, Song Shuyan thought about Song Ling's words just now, and fell into deep thought.

Shen Zecang's limelight has been flourishing recently, since this is the case, she will help him add a fire, and it will not be in vain for their husband and wife for so many years!

Qingyi had been with her for many years, and when she saw her look like this, she knew that she must want to do something. Although he knew that Song Shuyan never changed his mind once he made up his mind, he couldn't help but persuade her.

"Miss, this matter is too risky, why do you need to get involved in the affairs of those princes?"

Song Shuyan came back to his senses, and when he heard Qingyi's words, he smiled dumbly. "Qingyi, it seems that you have guessed my thoughts. ”

Qingyi immediately knelt down, "The slave knows that she is wrong, the slave and the maid should not talk much, but the slave and the maid don't want to watch the young lady take risks." If the young lady is angry, punish the slave maid. ”

Song Shuyan sighed lightly in her heart, she was loyal to herself, she was incompetent in her previous life, and she didn't protect her well. In this life, you must treat her well. In the future, find a good family for Qingyi and live a good life.

But now is not the time to think about this, she helped Qingyi up and said softly: "You are thinking about me, how can I blame you, but I have to do this thing." ”

"Miss......" Qingyi still wanted to persuade again.

Song Shuyan interrupted her, "Qingyi, don't say it again, what I decided will not change." ”

"Yes, the slave knows. Qingyi sighed, she found that she seemed to be more and more unable to see through Miss now. For some reason, I can always see a touch of sadness and pathos in her expression.

It was clearly not at her age, and she felt a little sorry for her own young lady.

Song Shuyan really did it, she sent someone to secretly spread a lot of rumors about Shen Zecang, which made him more popular for a while.

In the Seven Princes' Mansion, Shen Zeyuan stood in front of the bookshelf with his back to him, and others couldn't see his expression, let alone guess what he was thinking.

"Lord Wang, my subordinates are back. The guard entered the study and saluted him.

"Well, have you found it all out?" his tone was so faint that no one could hear the joy and anger.

"After checking it out, there have been a lot of rumors in the capital in recent days about the benefits of the three princes. And the source of that rumor is Miss Song. ”

When he found out about it, he was really taken aback. A deep lady actually participated in the affairs of the court, if it is found out, I am afraid it will be a crime of destroying the door.

Shen Zeyuan turned to look at him at this time, and the guards noticed that there seemed to be a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Sure enough, it's her, since you can find out about this matter, I'm afraid others can also find out about her. He glanced at the guard, "Do you know what to do?"

The guards immediately understood that the Seventh Prince was going to help the eldest lady of the Song family.

"The subordinates understand, the subordinates will deal with it, and they will definitely not let people associate this matter with Miss Song. ”

"Well, there you go. ”

After the guards left, Shen Zeyuan looked at the clump of green bamboos outside the window with interest. muttered to himself: Song Shuyan, I'm really getting more and more interested in you. What kind of deep hatred do you have with my Third Emperor Brother?

Although Song Shuyan spread rumors in favor of Shen Zecang, it made him popular with the people.

But Shen Zeyuan understood that Song Shuyan was not helping him, but harming him!

The father has always been suspicious, and the third emperor brother is now in the limelight, which naturally arouses jealousy. The higher his reputation, the more I am afraid that the emperor will suppress it even more.

Shen Zeyuan hooked the corners of his mouth, this game of chess is getting more and more interesting.

Sure enough, as Shen Zeyuan predicted, the emperor became more and more dissatisfied with Shen Zecang, and today in the court, the household servant wrote that since the beginning of this year, there have been many floods in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and there is no harvest of grain grains, so he hopes to reduce the taxes of the people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

This was originally a good thing, but unexpectedly, it caused the emperor to be furious. reprimanded him for his ill intentions and intended to win people's hearts. The emperor not only did not agree to his request, but also sent him half a year's salary for him to think about it.

This time it can cause an uproar among the courtiers. You must know that the household servant is the person of the three princes, and the emperor is suppressing it so hard, isn't he slapping the three princes in the face?

The ministers couldn't help but talk about it, and the emperor's move seemed to be extremely displeased with the three princes. It seems that the direction of the wind in this court is about to change.

Song Ling knelt in front of the emperor at this time, cold sweat flowing. After the next court, the chief manager of the emperor's side stopped him and said that the emperor saw him in the imperial study. He also wondered why the good people summoned him.

The emperor stared at Song Ling and did not speak. He himself also felt that the situation in the court was turbulent, and if he didn't do something, I was afraid that he would not be able to sit firmly in this position.

Today, he summoned Song Ling alone just to test him.

After a while, the emperor slowly spoke: "Song Xiang, please get up." Come, give a seat. ”

Song Ling hurriedly excused himself, "Emperor Xie is very kind, the minister doesn't dare, just stand and reply." ”

The emperor nodded, as if he was satisfied with his words. "Song Xiangwei is really dedicated to my country, I see it in my eyes. It's just that I'm getting old, and I need to find a talented prince to inherit this country. According to Song Xiang, which prince is more suitable. ”

Song Ling was taken aback, this was obviously a test of him, but he had to reply carefully.

He immediately knelt down, "The emperor is in his prime and in good health. Why do you need the prince to inherit your country, the minister is your courtier, and he must be your liver and brain. ”

After speaking, in order to show his loyalty, he deducted several heads.

"Okay, it's worthy of Song Xiang. The emperor listened to his words, and then he was relieved, it seems that Song Ling will not stand in line.

"Song Xiang's personality, I have always been clear. I know that you do everything for the sake of the people, for me, and you have no selfishness. Okay, it's not too early, you can kneel. ”

Because of his happiness, when Song Ling left, the emperor rewarded him with a lot of things and rewarded him for his loyalty.

The Three Princes' Mansion was gloomy at this time, because today the emperor reprimanded his people. The third prince is very worried, isn't the emperor annoyed with him?

He gathered his staff and asked them to come up with an idea.

Several people discussed, and one spoke: "The third prince, I have a humble opinion below. I heard that Song Xiang's daughter is now in the boudoir. You might as well marry her, and borrow Song Xiang's power. ”

Shen Zecang's heart moved, this idea is not bad, if Song Xiang becomes his father-in-law, are you still afraid that he will not help him?
