This matter has now become an open secret in the imperial court, but no one has dared to expose it.
He knew all too well just how precarious Li Zhaoxian's position was.
"Hmph! I'll let you off the hook for now, but remember this: never cross the line with me, or I'll make you wish you were dead!"
Li Zhaoxian was furious, but those words reminded him that Song Tangxue was not someone he could easily touch; both emperors were now trying their best to protect her.
If he were to return to the place of great interest to both nations with a handprint on his head, his reign as crown prince would likely be over.
He could only swallow his anger, utter a harsh remark, and then decisively left.
In Song Tangxue's eyes, Li Zhaoxian was simply running away in panic.
"Now you've become even more sharp-tongued, making the Crown Prince furious, yet he dares not speak out against you."
After Li Zhaoxian left, Xie Qianzhong suddenly appeared beside him and made some comments.
Song Tangxue was quite surprised to see him coming over: "When did you come out?"
"I won't tell you that, but the emperor of Yongfeng Kingdom is indeed a straightforward person."
Xie Qianzhong gave a reply, but in doing so, he mentioned the Third Prince again.
"But that Third Prince harbors deep resentment towards you, and I'm afraid you might actually cooperate with him in the future."
Xie Qianzhong directly pointed out the thing that Song Tangxue was worried about, and the two of them had the same idea.
Seeing that he had already been so frank, Song Tangxue didn't want to hide it anymore, so she could only nod and say yes.
"Yes, that's what I think too, so I used to panic a bit, but I've come to terms with it now."
As she spoke, she looked at the flowers blooming in the distance.
The flowers are in full bloom, not only beautiful, but also wild and unrestrained.
Song Tangxue wanted to live her life as vibrantly as these flowers!
Song Tangxue did not express her current thoughts, but Xie Qianzhong already understood perfectly.
"Go back. Both emperors are praising you highly now, and they will probably find out you're not here soon."
Song Tangxue deserves much credit for the current state of the imperial court and its friendly relations with other regions.
She couldn't leave for too long, otherwise, if she were discovered, people would probably start speculating.
Song Tangxue didn't say anything, but obediently nodded and left together.
After they arrived outside the main hall, they went their separate ways, not wanting to anger each other.
No sooner had Song Tangxue taken her seat than the Emperor made a public announcement.
"Miss Song, you have made a significant contribution to the country and its people, and I am very pleased!"
After the Emperor finished speaking, he suddenly stood up and solemnly announced, "She is hereby conferred the title of Princess Yong'an and shall enjoy the salary of the imperial court!"
Mr. and Mrs. Song have been quite surprised since just now, never expecting that Song Tangxue would be able to achieve such success.
Hearing this now feels like a dream.
If Song Tangxue truly possesses such glory, then it would be an even greater good for the Prime Minister's residence.
"Your Majesty, I and my entire family are deeply grateful for your kindness!"
Mr. Song quickly and excitedly answered, not forgetting to express his gratitude.
Song Tangxue was not surprised and also bowed in gratitude, while some were happy and some were sad.
Song Tangli never expected that her carefully planned sixth day of the Lunar New Year would suddenly turn out like this!
Not only did it not embarrass Song Tangxue, but it also created an obstacle that propelled her to new heights.
Song Tangli took a deep breath, trying her best not to break down, and quickly joined in expressing her gratitude to the Emperor.
With this matter now confirmed, Song Tangxue was showered with congratulations from all the ministers and their relatives.
She suddenly became Princess Yong'an, and her status naturally rose accordingly, making everyone look at her with more respect!
Li Zhaoxian's face grew even more gloomy, and he made no attempt to hide it, simply drinking his sorrows away in silence.
The Third Prince quickly realized this, and recalling what he had discovered, he already had a plan in mind.
But he certainly wouldn't dare to cause trouble in public, otherwise the Emperor wouldn't let him off the hook. And the Third Prince still fears Song Tangxue's methods!
The banquet lasted until evening, and the two emperors were already addressing each other as brothers, appearing exceptionally close.
Even though they are more than ten years apart, they seem more like close friends despite their age difference.
"You may all leave. Only Princess Yong'an and the two prime ministers remain here!"
The Emperor suddenly issued an order that everyone else should leave at the end of the banquet, but the important guests should remain.
Li Zhaoxian was taken aback: "Father, why don't I stay and help you entertain the guests?"
As the crown prince, he was naturally embarrassed to be kicked out and wanted to fight for his life.
After listening, the emperor answered without hesitation.
"The Crown Princess is currently pregnant, so you should take good care of her. You should go back now."
Song Tangli never expected that the Emperor would actually consider her feelings one day, but this was clearly not a good thing!
Li Zhaoxian was already dissatisfied, and the emperor had used her as an excuse, so he was afraid that he would be troubled by the crown prince when he returned.
"Your Majesty is still in good health. He is very busy with official duties and should not be disturbed. Let him stay and entertain the guests with Father."
Song Tangli quickly spoke up, finally saying something, and she was still extremely understanding.
Li Zhaoxian quickly added, "Your Majesty, I have arranged for some experienced nannies to take good care of the Crown Princess."
His attitude was clear: he wanted to stay and see what they would say.
Another issue is that if all the outsiders leave, but the Crown Prince insists on leaving as well, it might embarrass him if word gets out.
The Emperor couldn't refuse repeatedly, or he would lose face: "Well, I originally wanted you to take good care of the Crown Princess, but since you've thought things through, then you can stay."
The Emperor did save face by saying that, hoping to give Li Zhaoxian a way out.
After hearing this, Li Zhaoxian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Song Tangli did the same, but she didn't dare linger and quickly left.
The once crowded hall is now completely empty.
The emperor had drunk some wine and was a little drunk, but he had not lost his senses. So he said to his guest, "Brother, let's go somewhere else together and have a good chat!"
The Emperor spoke with great seriousness, while the latter readily agreed and politely said, "Thank you, brother."
And so, they quickly moved to a different place.
The place is much smaller now, and people are closer together, which makes it seem more intimate.
Song Tangxue didn't speak, but sat quietly to the side, listening to them talk about politics or gossip about other countries. But she didn't expect them to suddenly talk about her.
