After I died, the scumbag prince cried down the city wall

This action seemed to touch the emperor's heartstrings, and his frown gradually relaxed.

"Child, you still have your father in your heart. Let it go this time, but don't do it again. You must not make decisions on your own again." The emperor said earnestly.

"Yes, I will keep it in mind." Song Yanyi replied respectfully.

On the side, Song Yanchen's eyes were as cold as ice, staring closely at Song Yanyi who had returned to his seat. When he retracted his gaze, he glared fiercely at Wen Yinyang next to him.

Wen Yinyang wisely chose to remain silent and could only silently endure Song Yanchen's sharp gaze.

However, just when everyone thought the storm was over, Song Yanchen suddenly stood up. Wen Yinyang wanted to stop him, but it was too late. He could only watch him walk step by step towards the center of the hall.

"Father, your Majesty, your son and your Highness the Crown Prince had the same idea, but unfortunately your Highness the Crown Prince got there first." He said with a smile, but there was a sharpness in his tone.

Cui Rongrong frowned slightly and exchanged a brief but meaningful look with Wen Yinyang.

She lowered her eyes. Song Yanchen's move undoubtedly disrupted the chess game they had carefully arranged.

Things have developed to this point, even if we want to save the situation, we are powerless.

At this moment, she could only pray silently that Song Yanchen would not say anything irreversible, otherwise, it would be too late to regret in the future.

The emperor looked at Song Yanchen with a smile, his eyes full of relief: "Yier and Haner both care so much about the soldiers, I am very relieved. Haner, do you have any good ideas, share one or two with me?"

Song Yanchen's mouth curled up into a gentle smile: "The soldiers are fighting outside and making great achievements. The next step is naturally to consider starting a family. I know that they are concerned about the country and train diligently day and night. How can they have the leisure time to care about those romantic relationships?"

"But if they have a virtuous wife at home to take care of the housework, they can fight bravely on the front line without any worries. Therefore, I have already found a group of women with good character and intend to arrange marriages for them and promote a good relationship."

Cui Rongrong glanced sideways at Song Yanchen, then slowly turned her gaze to the emperor, only to see the emperor nodded with satisfaction, but her inner worries were not alleviated in the slightest.

"Han'er and Yi'er have considered everything. Whether it is settling down or starting a family, they always put the welfare of the soldiers in their hearts. I am very pleased that you two brothers can support each other and assist me in governing the country." The emperor praised.

Song Yanchen raised his lips with a proud arc: "Father, your teachings are good, and I will do my best to live up to your expectations."

After saying this, he glanced at Song Yanyi provocatively.

Song Yanyi maintained a gentle smile, but his fingers were secretly tightened under his wide sleeves.

Although he sent his confidants to secretly investigate Song Yanchen's intentions many times, he was still preempted by him!

The efforts he made must not go to waste!

Song Yanyi quickly adjusted his mood and exchanged a subtle look with the queen calmly.

The Queen understood, and then said with a smile: "Yier and Haner's intentions are both very rare. Your Majesty, whose suggestion do you think is more considerate?"

"I think that Han'er's proposal for starting a family is more thoughtful and considerate. In the future, when these soldiers make new contributions and have a prosperous career, their wives will also become noble official wives. They will definitely be grateful to Han'er for finding a good match for them. This is truly a win-win situation."

The Queen was beaming with joy as she praised Song Yanchen, but a solemn look gradually emerged on the Emperor's face.

People are alive, real estate is fixed.

Once Song Yanchen really established connections with those women, wouldn't these soldiers be inclined towards Song Yanchen after they are promoted in the future?

He could tolerate Song Yanchen and Song Yanyi's involvement in state affairs, but he would never allow them to have any involvement in military power, for fear that they would develop disloyalty after gaining control of the military power.

How could he tolerate such a thing happening when he was in his prime?

Song Yanchen's various attempts to win over others at this moment obviously have ulterior motives!

The emperor's face darkened completely, his eyes were like torches, and he shot directly at Song Yanchen: "What the queen said is very true, I also have this concern."

"However, the soldiers have devoted their lives to the country, and I do not want to make hasty decisions on marriage. Moreover, they are in their prime years, so there is no need to rush to get married and start a family. At present, they should focus on building meritorious service. When they have made greater contributions in the future, I will personally arrange marriages for them, and the time will be more appropriate."

The Queen smiled and replied, "Your Majesty is thoughtful and far-sighted. I am a little short-sighted."

Song Yanchen was startled. The emperor had been so friendly before, why did his attitude suddenly change?

He was about to say something, but was interrupted by the emperor's wave of his hand: "Today's palace banquet ends here. The soldiers have fought hard and need to get enough rest."

"Come here, make sure to escort the soldiers back to the mansion!" The emperor's voice echoed in the hall with majesty.

Zhang Wen exchanged subtle glances with the generals around him. Although they were not well versed in the intrigues in the court, they could vaguely sense a hint of something unusual from the tense atmosphere in the air.

They bowed respectfully, then followed the eunuch and left the hall cautiously.

The emperor stood up and glanced at Song Yanchen coldly. Without saying anything, he just paused and strode away.

The Queen followed closely behind, while the Queen Mother slowly looked around before slowly leaving the hall.

A hint of gloom flashed across Cui Rong's eyes. When she saw the silent communication between Song Yanyi and the Queen, she knew in her heart that today's events might not be simple.

She had long anticipated the undercurrent between Song Yanchen and Song Yanyi, but she didn't expect it to come so suddenly and so directly.

How could Song Yanyi be willing to share the glory with Song Yanchen?

He will definitely try his best to embarrass Song Yanchen in order to demonstrate his thoughtfulness and foresight.

She glanced at Song Yanyi and Song Yanchen expressionlessly, then she followed Cui Min and left the hall in silence.

The two of them left the palace and boarded the carriage that had been prepared long ago. Cui Min couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "The emperor is most averse to others getting involved in military power. The Sixth Prince actually wants to place his confidants among the soldiers. This undoubtedly offends the emperor."

Cui Rongrong's voice was calm and indifferent: "The Sixth Prince and the Crown Prince were not on good terms to begin with. Seeing the Crown Prince enjoying such great success, how could he sit back and watch? Unfortunately, he was too eager for quick success and ended up hurting himself."

"The Emperor has become suspicious of the Sixth Prince because of this incident. I'm afraid his future will not be easy."

Cui Min did not answer directly, but sighed softly: "It is understandable that the Sixth Prince is anxious. Recently, the Emperor has been quite cold towards the Crown Prince and the Sixth Prince. Both of them are looking for opportunities to show off in front of the Emperor, but the Sixth Prince chose the wrong way."
