Song Tangxue understood what he meant, so she nodded and didn't say anything more, but turned and left.
Xie Qianzhong watched his beloved woman disappear into the distance until she was completely out of sight.
He then left, and the moon had already risen in the sky, exceptionally round tonight, just like the two of them now, perfectly complete.
Upon learning that Song Tangxue had returned, Song's mother rushed to Xianyu Pavilion in a hurry.
Song Tangxue has moved to a new courtyard, which is luxurious in every way and completely different from the one before.
Before Song Tangxue could even appreciate the sights, her mother, as expected, arrived as a guest.
"He values you incredibly much, even more than we imagined."
As soon as Song's mother arrived, she spoke with a smile on her face.
Lately, she's had a constant smile on her face, and because of that, she looks much more energetic.
However, Song Tangxue was not happy for her mother, and after listening, she simply replied indifferently.
"His Majesty attaches great importance to this marriage, and other countries are watching, so naturally there can be no mistakes."
Song Tangxue said this on purpose, just to let her mother know that her current situation was also due to Xie Qianzhong's consideration for the court.
Song's mother was unaware of the extra details, and since this was what was being revealed outside, she agreed after hearing the story.
However, he still said, "That's true, but the way he looks at you is different from before. Perhaps you two can truly treat each other with respect in the future, which would be good."
Lianzhi arrived at that moment, carrying a lucky purse.
"This was sent to you by Lord Xie."
This auspicious purse is not exquisite in design; it's a common item that should be completely out of place with Xie Qianzhong's status.
But now, it has suddenly appeared here.
Song's mother was quite puzzled: "Why was such an ordinary item delivered here?"
"My daughter doesn't know either, but of course she has to stay. Maybe there's a story behind it."
Song Tangxue calmly accepted the item, and then said as if nothing had happened.
"Seven days later, my daughter will go to the Buddha to fulfill her vow. She will not stay at home that day, and may stay at the temple for a couple of days."
"Our family has such a wonderful event, your father should have taken you to offer incense, that would have shown our sincerity."
Only then did Song's mother realize that she had forgotten about this matter, but she was still thinking of trying to get it over with.
However, Song Tangxue then said, "My daughter has made an appointment with Lord Xie and we will go together."
She speaks less confrontationally than before, and is now more easygoing.
However, Song's mother believed that it was because Song Tangxue was too happy, as people are naturally in high spirits when they have happy events.
And the fact that Xie Qianzhong went along with them was an even greater honor.
This will also let those outsiders who thought the Left Prime Minister was compromising see that the two of them actually had feelings for each other!
"Okay, then I'll make sure you get everything ready properly. You can go now."
Song Tangli soon learned of this news.
She is now showing signs of pregnancy, and she knows that if the baby gets bigger, it will be even more difficult to get rid of.
Song Tangli naturally had to find another way to quickly resolve this trouble.
"We don't have much time left, this child can't be kept any longer!"
Song Tangli paced back and forth anxiously, and after combining the news of going to the Buddhist temple, she suddenly had an idea.
"Even if we have to send this child away, we must let him contribute his last bit of energy! We must go with him!"
After pacing for a while, Song Tangli suddenly stopped and said in a serious tone with extremely sinister eyes.
She is now very certain that the child cannot be kept, but she also wants to help her.
"But Lord Xie will be going with us, which has brought us a lot of difficulties."
Xiaoyao seemed somewhat hesitant, as if he felt the matter was too dangerous, but after he finished speaking, Song Tangli spoke decisively.
"I'm afraid he won't be here. Men hate it most when women are unfaithful to them! And if you want to ruin a woman's reputation, how many things can you do?"
Song Tangli spoke with exceptional conviction, and at the end, she even let out a cold laugh, as if she were full of self-confidence.
Xiaoyao knew that Xie Qianzhong was an extremely cunning and difficult enemy to deal with.
They only have a few days left, and it seems they really won't make it in time.
"It would be much more difficult if we were to fight this alone, but if someone were to help us..."
Xiaoyao answered with some hesitation, but as he spoke, he thought of someone.
“We can take His Highness the Crown Prince with us. He can watch from the sidelines and doesn’t necessarily have to help us.”
If a highly influential witness is present, then the matter is even more certain, and the controversy will only escalate.
After hearing this analysis, Song Tangli narrowed her eyes and said nothing more, but she let out a cold laugh.
She had become exceptionally calm and confident, as if she was even more satisfied with her plan!
Xiaoyao's words had been supported, so preparations for the matter were quietly and intensively underway.
Song Tangli didn't waste any time either. After confirming the matter, she set off immediately.
The two were plotting something, and although Li Zhaoxian had originally summoned another concubine today, Song Tangli ended up staying here instead.
Time passed quickly, and the Emperor and his entourage were ready to depart. Song Tangxue was naturally reluctant to see them return to their homeland.
"Parting is inevitable, even after a thousand miles of farewell. I look forward to our next meeting."
Song Tangxue felt very uncomfortable, but she could only speak with some emotion at the entrance of the post station.
The Emperor remained remarkably calm, simply smiling as he listened before speaking.
"Now that the two courts are as close as family, there will be plenty of opportunities to meet again in the future. When you get married, I will of course come and prepare a grand gift!"
The Emperor spoke with great conviction, indicating that he had already made preparations.
He will also contribute to Song Tangxue's dowry, and it will be exceptionally generous.
The third prince stood to the side, his expression remarkably calm and composed.
He knew the two were talking, so he wisely didn't join in, and he was no longer as arrogant as before.
From this perspective, they appear to be a perfect match, but unfortunately, things are a complete mess behind the scenes.
Xie Qianzhong accompanied their emperor to discuss more important state affairs, and recently did not personally see him off, nor did the emperor attend.
Li Zhaoxian stood aside. As the crown prince, he had come on behalf of the emperor, which was considered a show of respect.
Let us drink this farewell toast together, and look forward to our next meeting!
Song Tangxue didn't want to see Li Zhaoxian, but it was unavoidable in this situation.
She had to consider all the circumstances, so she raised her glass along with the Third Prince.
