Song Tangxue stayed alone for a while, still unable to shake off the news of her engagement.
Upon hearing the news, Meng Youyu rushed over immediately.
"You're really good at keeping your composure. If I were you, I would have already found someone to celebrate with!"
As soon as Meng Youyu entered, she said with a cheerful smile.
Song Tangxue didn't expect her to arrive so quickly, but she said with a smile.
"I knew you'd come. I've already had them prepare a face wash. We'll have a nice meal later."
"But why would this emperor suddenly help you? Is it really because of past favors?"
Meng Youyu still had this doubtful decision. They definitely had to be careful at this moment and absolutely could not fall into any trap.
So after he finished speaking, he didn't forget to remind Song Tangxue.
"I'm not trying to be nosy, but you really need to be careful. There are some things you have to pay attention to!"
Mingfeng Kingdom's move is certainly excellent, but we must also be wary of the Third Prince sabotaging things.
Song Tangxue understood immediately, and nodded as soon as she finished listening.
"Yes. I'm extremely careful around him. I've had concerns before, but he's already sent people to keep an eye on him secretly."
Song Tangxue didn't hide anything and told Meng Youyu about her preparations. Meng Youyu smiled immediately after hearing this and quickly teased her.
"You're not even married yet, and you're already planning so much for me. Once we're a family, I'm afraid this doting husband will become the Left Prime Minister!"
She gave a mischievous grin as she spoke: "The Left Chancellor even specifically said that he would never take a concubine in the future, thus eliminating any outside thoughts. This is paving the way for you."
Outsiders certainly wouldn't know these things, but Meng Youyu certainly knew what was going on.
Song Tangxue has truly fallen into a lucky hole this time, and she knows it in her heart.
So after listening, she became a little shy, lowered her head, and whispered.
"Alright, stop talking, or I'll get even more embarrassed!"
As she spoke, Lianzhi entered, having thus extricated her young mistress from the predicament.
"Go and have them serve the food, and tell everyone not to let anyone come and disturb them."
Song Tangxue spoke up, saying this in order to prevent Song's parents from coming over.
The couple, however, had no intention of bothering them and were instead discussing the matter.
"We did hurt her in the past, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to make amends in the future..."
Song's mother was well aware of her actions, and at this moment, she made no attempt to conceal them, but spoke them directly.
Song Tangxue is currently a rising star, and she has brought such great benefits to the court, so of course they are eager to curry favor with her.
But this was not something that could be done easily, so Song's mother began to reflect on herself.
After Song's mother finished speaking, Song's father also regretted his actions.
But it was too late to say anything now; he just sat there in silence.
His face was extremely somber, as if ink could drip from it.
Seeing this, Song's mother became even more irritated. She hadn't stayed there just to see his displeasure!
"You need to think of a solution quickly to resolve the current situation, otherwise we may become even more embarrassed in the future. Even if we want to eat meat, it may not be as convenient as other places."
This daughter clearly belongs to their family, but they aren't close to her. Isn't this a missed opportunity?
"Even if you urge me, I can't think of a good solution right now, so please let me have some peace and quiet!"
Mr. Song spoke with extreme annoyance, and he was quite blunt.
"Besides, this is the result of our own sins back then, and now we are just reaping what we have sown."
It was rare for Song's father to speak the truth, and he even confronted their past unpleasantness.
Song's mother was so angry she laughed: "Judging from what you're saying, does that mean even if we don't get any advantage in the future, neither of us will be envious?"
Song's father really benefited today. He had been disliked by His Majesty for many days, but today, because of Song Tangxue, he finally made the Emperor look at him with new eyes.
How could Song's father not know these things? He was left speechless by what he was being said.
He fell silent again, but Song's mother had realized that she could not place her hopes on Song's father; he was now like a good-for-nothing.
"Forget it, there's no point in talking to you anymore. Just leave this to me, and I'll do a great job."
Suddenly, Song's mother decided to take on the responsibility and put the matter herself.
Song's father finally spoke up again, but his words were full of doubt.
"With your impatient nature, you might end up making things more tense instead of winning her over, making yourself a laughingstock to outsiders, and suffering a great loss in the process."
"How could I be so stupid?" Song's mother answered without thinking, and then she began to think about it.
"And there's something even more important. We've already incurred Xie Qianzhong's wrath because of our past rivalry, but from now on we'll have to curry favor with him..."
As Song's mother spoke, she became slightly hesitant, clearly less resolute than before.
They knew perfectly well that Xie Qianzhong was far more difficult to deal with than Song Tangxue; it was not as simple as it seemed.
Song Tangxue was too lazy to care about how the couple had schemed against her; she would never agree to anything in the future.
Meng Youyu was unaware of her thoughts, and because of her worries, she spoke up.
"Your parents are probably active again now, but you must be careful and not let them scheme against you, otherwise you may end up in the same situation as before."
She's like a nagging old woman now, wanting to think things through for Song Tangxue and reminding her of everything.
Song Tangxue didn't find it nagging at all; on the contrary, she felt a warmth in her heart and immediately responded.
"Don't worry, I'm not stupid either. I won't be fooled by them. Having dealt with them for so many years, I can guess what will happen."
She definitely knows what's going on, but she's too lazy to care right now, so she's putting it aside for the time being.
Meng Youyu breathed a sigh of relief and picked up her wine glass to continue speaking.
"Today I raise a glass to you, congratulations on finally getting what you wanted and no longer being bound by the cage!"
This toast should have been offered a few days ago; it's been a long time coming.
But it wasn't too late. Song Tangxue clinked glasses with him and drank it all in one gulp.
The two looked at each other, and in the candlelight, their laughter grew even more joyful.
Meanwhile, the Emperor was not idle either, but instead fantasized about the Third Prince who had come with him.
On the surface, the Third Prince appears to be fine, but in reality, he has simply avoided the times of his daily suffering.
"You performed well today, but remember this: you should always do the same, and never embarrass me!"
The emperor's face was extremely grim. From the beginning until now, their relationship had not improved at all.
