Song Hongshen stood at the door, frowning and looking into the hall.
At this time, Mrs. Wang was kneeling on the ground, crying.
Wang stood up and leaned over to help Madam Wang up, saying, "Sister-in-law, aren't you making things difficult for me?"
"Even the emperor didn't interfere with Hong Shen's marriage, so how could I interfere?"
Mrs. Wang refused to get up. "You are his adoptive mother. Your kindness in raising him is greater than heaven."
"If you sincerely ask for my help, I don't believe that I can't help Jinyao's future."
At this point, Madam Wang grabbed Wang's arm and said, "Sister, Jin Yao is your biological niece. If you trust me, supporting Jin Yao to ascend the throne will be the best for both the Wang and Song families."
Upon hearing this, Wang immediately shook off her hand, her face tense as she said, "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? I'm not afraid of such outrageous words, but please don't implicate my Song family."
As long as the emperor is still alive, the prince can only be the prince.
At this time, if the Song family talks about who to support as the queen, it means they are tired of living.
Besides, the Song family did indeed raise Song Hong with great kindness.
However, no matter how great the grace of raising a child is, it cannot overcome the difference between the ruler and his subjects.
If the Song family relies on the grace of raising their children and acts recklessly, the destruction of the clan will not be far away.
Therefore, ever since Song Hongshen performed the enthronement ceremony, the prince has been more low-key than before and has been more strict in disciplining his subordinates.
Wang raised her head and saw Song Hongshen standing at the door.
Song Hongshen stepped into the room and, as usual, gave Wang Shi the courtesy of family greetings. "Greetings to mother."
Wang said hurriedly, "We are family, why should we be so polite?"
Then he asked him, "Is it time for dinner? Today we made your favorite roast duck, and I told them to leave half a duck for you."
Song Hongshen felt warm in his heart, "I'll go try it later. I'm really craving this. The roast duck sold in restaurants outside is not as good as the one we make here."
Since he became the crown prince, many people's attitudes towards him have changed. However, the Song family's elders still treat him the same as before.
He really treated the Song family as his own home, and didn't want to sever this relationship because of a change in his status.
Song Hongshen helped Wang sit down, then asked, "Why is my aunt here? Why are you crying?"
"My grandmother is old, and it's not auspicious for my aunt to cry like this."
Song Hongshen's words revealed a hint of coldness and dissatisfaction, but he was also willing to give face to Wang and called Madam Wang aunt.
The word "Aunt" made Mrs. Wang happy, and she thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still remembered their old friendship.
She quickly wiped the tears from her face and her tone returned to normal, "Your Highness, please forgive me. I was just thinking of your cousin and was worried."
Song Hongshen sat down next to Wang. Seeing that Mrs. Wang didn't stand up, he was too lazy to call her. If she wanted to kneel, she could kneel.
A servant brought tea. Song Hongshen took a sip and said, "My aunt is worried about my cousin. I should go home and take care of her. It's really not nice to cry here."
Mrs. Wang thought Song Hongshen would ask her what was wrong with Wang Jinyao, so she took the opportunity to express Wang Jinyao's feelings.
But Song Hongshen didn't ask. She thought for a moment and then said, "Your Highness, Jin Yao has deep feelings for you. Could Your Highness be flexible and only draw lots to select three?"
Song Hongshen shook his head and said, "No, aunt, please go back."
"Don't bother my mother about this in the future. The Wang family and I only have a small bond. My aunt has worn it out, so it's gone forever."
Mrs. Wang was suddenly stunned. Her master had also said the same thing this morning.
Wang Jian did not approve of her coming to the Song family to make trouble because of Wang Jinyao's affair.
His original words were: The prince and he were nominally uncle and nephew, but they were not blood uncles, so how much affection could there be? The little affection he had with the prince would have to wait until the critical moment to use it.
Mrs. Wang did not dare to face Song Hongshen the same way she did when facing Wang Shi.
After thinking for a moment, she said, "Your Highness, it's true that Jin Yao has lost her appetite because of this matter. I'm afraid something bad might happen to her, so I want to ask Your Highness to save her life."
Song Hongshen remained unmoved. He said coldly, "Aunt really dotes on her daughter. Whatever she wants, she'll help her achieve it. If she wants to ascend the throne, does she have to ask my father to give up the throne?"
Madam Wang's face turned pale with fear. "Your Highness, I dare not. Your Highness, you are too kind."
Seeing that Song Hongshen really had no intention of giving in, Mrs. Wang did not dare to stay any longer, for fear of really angering him.
"Your Highness, please forgive me. I will take my leave."
Song Hongshen hummed calmly and said politely, "Take care, aunt."
After the housekeeper sent Madam Wang away, Wang said, "Your aunt is also confused. In my opinion, she should have arranged a marriage for Jin Yao earlier."
Song Hongshen suddenly remembered that before the Chinese New Year, he heard that Wang Jinyao was getting engaged to the son of the Zhao family, the prefect of Huizhou.
He returned to his ancestral home, and the Wang family canceled the marriage proposal with the Zhao family.
Now it seems that it is not Mrs. Wang who is confused, I am afraid that Minister Wang also has the same idea.
Song Hongshen thought for a moment and said, "Mother, please persuade my uncle and aunt. They are all family. If they get embarrassed because of this, I'm afraid mother will be embarrassed too."
Wang knew that Song Hongshen was the one who really cared about her.
I'm afraid my brother and sister-in-law are now only concerned about their daughter's future.
She was also a little angry. If her brother and sister-in-law had considered her, they would not have made things so difficult for her.
So after hearing what Song Hongshen said, Wang snorted coldly, "Don't worry, my son. Mother won't be confused about such things. If the Wang family is not afraid of embarrassment, then we are even less afraid."
Song Hongshen praised: "I knew that mother was very understanding of justice."
"I'm lucky to have been raised by my mother since I was little. She never treated me as an outsider."
Wang patted his hand and said, "We are one family, let's not talk about different things. The Song family will always be your home."
