Song Tangxue was quickly brought out; Song's mother was extremely decisive this time.
As soon as she arrived, she noticed that everyone's faces were grim, as if they were extremely angry, but dared not speak out.
"I will take you to the palace now, but you must remember to be careful in everything you do, and never disgrace the court!"
Just as Song Tangxue was feeling puzzled, her father spoke up seriously.
As soon as she finished speaking, Song's mother said with some concern, "You know that some things should be said and some things should not be made clear."
Song Tangxue understood that this was a warning to herself not to speak carelessly, especially about these messy things at home.
But the most important thing now is why they suddenly contacted me.
"Who wants to see me?" Song Tangxue asked directly.
Song Tangli sat to one side without saying a word, but her expression was truly unpleasant.
Song's father was also puzzled, wondering how Song Tangxue could have gotten such a good thing.
Upon hearing this question, he replied impatiently, "Who knows? Let's talk about it later. Go to the palace first."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to leave.
Song Tangxue had no choice; in situations like this, she would definitely have to step in, and the decision was not up to her.
Upon arriving at the palace, one finds it already bustling with activity, with musicians performing elegant and joyful dances, accompanied by the continuous sounds of string and wind instruments.
Yongfeng Kingdom's trip this time was full of sincerity, with the emperor himself coming, and bringing along his most trusted Third Prince.
He was naturally seated at the head of the table, and the emperor looked at this friendly diplomatic relationship with a smile on his face.
"This is my savior. If it weren't for Miss Song, I'm afraid half the people in this city would have suffered, and my empress would have passed away!"
The King of Yongfeng Kingdom, also known as the Emperor, deliberately changed his title to distinguish himself from the current Emperor of the Li family.
Upon hearing this, Song Tangxue performed a polite bow and calmly replied, "These are all things I should do. Your Majesty need not be so polite, especially considering you have traveled a long way to be here."
Upon hearing this, the ministers accompanying her all gasped in surprise, never expecting Song Tangxue to be so bold.
These words seemed incredibly arrogant to them.
Empress Cheng was naturally very surprised, as Song Tangxue was straightforward and had a good personality.
However, he is always well-mannered in his speech and would never leave any room for criticism.
She must have ulterior motives for saying this now, just to make everyone look at her in a new light.
"I have been very busy with many things these past few days. Now that I have some free time, I naturally want to come to my benefactor's place to express my gratitude in person!"
The king answered directly, expressing great gratitude, which confirmed Song Tangxue's words and also gave her a great deal of face.
Xie Qianzhong was sitting not far from the two of them. After hearing this, he didn't say anything, but just glanced at Song Tangxue.
She remained remarkably calm, and then she heard the Emperor of the Li family laugh heartily and immediately say...
"This is quite a great fate. Now that I have become the most powerful man, I might as well take you as my sworn brother. From now on, our two courts will be as close as one family!"
The tribes near the imperial court were too powerful, although they posed no threat to the court.
However, if we can seize the opportunity to cooperate with other dynasties, it would be a good idea, at least it would be a preparation for the future.
The emperor had also put a lot of thought into it, unwilling to miss any opportunity to stabilize the court and ensure the peace of the country.
After saying that, he turned to Song Tangxue and said, "Quickly, give Miss Song a seat!"
As he said these words, Li Zhaoxian's face was extremely pale, even though Song Tangli was already beside him, keeping him company.
But Li Zhaoxian ignored him and instead drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.
Upon seeing this, Song Tangli knew she needed to be careful!
Yongfeng Kingdom readily agreed, and the subsequent banquet was filled with singing and dancing, creating an exceptionally harmonious atmosphere.
Originally, the forces within the imperial court should have been irreconcilable, but unexpectedly, a mediator has been able to ease the tensions between them.
The Emperor naturally held Song Tangxue in higher regard, and Song Tangxue had just quietly left her seat.
There were too many people inside, and it was really noisy. Song Tangxue felt annoyed and wanted to come out for some fresh air.
She didn't even inform Xie Qianzhong before coming out alone.
But Song Tangxue didn't expect that she was already being watched.
After they came out, a figure followed them away.
The banquet was held in the center of the Imperial Garden, in a very large hall, specifically prepared for foreign guests.
The renovations are exceptionally luxurious, and even the surrounding scenery is much more elegant than elsewhere.
Unfortunately, this beautiful view was soon disturbed.
"Having accomplished such great things abroad and currying favor with such powerful figures, why do you not know anything about this Crown Prince after returning?"
Li Zhaoxian appeared suddenly from behind like a ghost, and his words were full of sourness and extreme anger.
He was naturally furious, because if he had known this would happen, he would never have let Song Tangxue leave.
Otherwise, I would have gained a lot of face in today's situation, and the Emperor would have praised me even more and valued me even more!
"Your Highness, when have you ever cared about me like this?" Song Tangxue retorted directly, then sneered, "You're so angry because you've lost an opportunity that would have been extremely beneficial to you!"
The fig leaf was directly torn off, and Song Tangxue was unwilling to give this hypocritical crown prince any face!
Li Zhaoxian never expected that his thoughts would be exposed like this.
He became embarrassed, after all, when had the high and mighty Crown Prince ever been treated like this?
Song Tangxue had no intention of letting him off the hook. Since Li Zhaoxian had delivered himself to her doorstep, she wouldn't hold back.
"Now that you are the Crown Prince, have you done anything to care about the people? Do you intend to rely on women to secure your position forever?"
"How dare you! This is not the way you should speak to me! Do you want your entire family wiped out?!"
Enraged, Li Zhaoxian resorted to using his power to oppress others.
After saying that, he raised his hand high, as if he wanted to slap someone down and vent his anger.
Song Tangxue wasn't afraid at all; instead, she raised her chin and said to him again.
"If Your Highness is angry, then please take it down directly. But if the two emperors find out later, I will tell them everything!"
Of course she would do that, Lee So-hyeon was absolutely certain of it.
Li Zhaoxian's position in the court is now precarious, and the Empress's son, Li Zhaoyun, has been secretly plotting like a viper, hoping to seize the Crown Prince's throne.
