Marry my elder sister? Fine! I'll give you the letter of annulment and marry someone else.

the next day.

The emperor announced that he would hold a spring banquet to entertain all civil and military officials, and told everyone that they must bring their families with them. He also specifically pointed out that married daughters were also considered family members.

The time is set for tomorrow.

This directionality is too strong, and Song Yang is a little worried.

"Child, this must be directed at you. If I were you, I would continue to play dumb and go to the banquet by myself tomorrow."

Song Zhi shook his head. "If you go alone, it will easily reveal that Aunt Xie and the others are not in the capital. They haven't reunited with Aunt Xin yet. I'm afraid something might happen."

Song Yang said: "It's okay, I've already told everyone that she took her family to visit the border town where she used to live."

"The dog emperor is very suspicious and is currently in the center of public opinion. What if he sends someone to investigate?"

Song Zhi felt it was not safe.

If the Dog Emperor's goal was to get her to go, then as long as she went, he could ignore everything else to a large extent.

If she didn't go, she would definitely magnify every move of the Song family and find fault with them.

What's more, you can't avoid the fifteenth day even if you can't avoid the first day. As long as the emperor doesn't give up this idea, there will be other titles waiting for her even if she avoids the Spring Banquet.

In that case, it would be better to just go and see what they are going to do.

Now they have already torn their faces with Mu Yuanzhi, and there is still a layer of window paper between them and the emperor because of Mu Nanqi.

At least before leaving, you have to break this layer of window paper.

"Okay, Dad, don't worry. I will have the secret guards protect you in secret, and I will also ask Elder She to accompany me."

At that time, Old She will disguise herself as a coachman and go into the palace with her. With Old She around, at least there will be no problem in getting her out of the palace safely.

As for Mu Nanqi.

She thought he probably wouldn't want to enter the palace.

However, what she didn't expect was that although Mu Nanqi didn't want to enter the palace, he still got on the carriage to the palace.

"You don't have to make things difficult for yourself because of me. As long as Master She is here, everything will be fine."

"It doesn't matter."

Mu Nanqi touched her head lovingly.

The carriage went all the way to the palace, and the Spring Banquet was arranged in the Imperial Garden. Due to the hasty preparation, the decoration inside was not very exquisite, and even the dishes and snacks were exactly the same as the previous New Year Palace Banquet.

It is ironic that during the New Year, hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the snowy mountains at the border were almost starving to death, while a full banquet was being enjoyed in the capital.

At that time, they forgot the time because of the heavy snow and even forgot about the New Year. They only remembered it after they left the mountain.

It was only when he heard Song Yang mumbling that Song Zhi finally understood the dishes.

She couldn't describe the feeling in her heart.

Whoever is covered in Luo Qi is not a silkworm breeder.

Perhaps, this world has always been a paradise for the superiors and a hell for the inferiors.

No one cares about the life and death of those below them.

But even though it is difficult, those at lower levels are still trying their best to survive, and they have not given up on themselves.

Song Zhi took a deep breath to adjust his mood, then followed Song Yang into the imperial garden.

People from Song Yang's party surrounded them, among whom Li Yan had the highest official position.

They stood together and exchanged greetings. Song Zhi was afraid that Mu Nanqi would feel uncomfortable, so he pulled him to sit aside.

At this time, Mu Yuanzhi also came.

There were many officials around him. When he saw Song Zhi, he did not come over to greet him as usual. He just gave him a complicated look and looked away.

The two groups are clearly divided and each forms its own faction.

In terms of numbers, there are even more people around Mu Yuanzhi.

Because since Song Yang was restored to the position of prime minister, the dog emperor has quietly demoted his disciples to various places.

Song Zhi had already asked Song Yang to write a letter, asking his disciples to pack their bags and run to the border at any time if they heard that the situation was not right.

Li Yan said, "The Emperor is nurturing a tiger that will become a threat without realizing it. I don't think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is as calm and composed as he appears to be."

Song Yang agreed, "That's true. The person in charge is confused, but the bystander can see clearly. The emperor just believes that he has a solution."

Song Zhi chuckled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. "It seems that it's time to break the harmony of their loving father and filial son. Dad, when we go back today, we should find a way to inform the emperor about his forged imperial edict to collect taxes privately."

Song Yang nodded, "Okay."

Everyone was chatting here and there in boredom until a palace maid accidentally spilled tea and wet Mu Nanqi's clothes. Song Zhi knew that the show was about to begin.

The palace maid knelt down in panic and begged for mercy. Someone came up quickly to help Mu Nanqi return to the third prince's bedroom to change clothes.

Mu Nanqi's eyes were dark, and there was impatience in them.

Song Zhi tugged at his sleeve, and he stood up and walked towards the bedroom.

This trip will be a very long one.

It was so long that when the emperor finished reviewing the memorials and came to the Imperial Garden and the banquet was about to begin, there was still no sign of him.

Mu Yuanzhi couldn't help but suggest, "Father, our third brother has been away changing clothes for a long time. Since we have nothing to do, why don't we go and pick him up together? He's angry with you right now, and he'll definitely be touched to see you pick him up."

The emperor nodded and said, "Then go and take a look."

The group followed the emperor to Mu Nanqi's bedroom.

Song Yang whispered, "So they were coming for Nan Qi. Fortunately, it wasn't you."

Song Zhi was embarrassed: "It doesn't seem to be much better. After all, we are a family."

They were not sure that Mu Nanqi would come with them. At most, they had thought of a few more plans. Since Mu Nanqi was also here, they would definitely use the most direct and effective plan.

Looking at the calm and composed Song Zhi, Song Yang felt sincerely relieved.

His daughter has long since transformed from a little girl lacking maternal love into a strong and independent young woman.

Soon, everyone arrived outside the bedroom.

A strange sound suddenly came from the hall.

"Your Highness, I miss you so much. I really miss the time when I lived here with you."

The woman's voice was clearly audible, like she was whispering coquettishly.

The ministers realized that something was wrong and lowered their heads awkwardly, and their families even retreated directly.

Except Song Zhi.

Song Zhiduanduan stood in front of the door with an expressionless face. She was confident that the person inside was not Mu Nanqi.

But he had to put on a show after all, so after thinking it over for a while, he kicked the door open with a sad look on his face.

"Mu Nanqi, what are you doing!"

The angry shout echoed throughout the room, waking up the two men.

"what!"

A scream rang out, and Dingxiang's face was filled with panic. She looked at the man in front of her desperately and whispered, "Why is it you?!"

The two people who woke up were in a panic.

The people outside were not in a hurry either. It seemed as if they had rehearsed it long ago and waited for them to finish packing before going in.

As soon as Mu Yuanzhi stepped through the door, he gloated, "Third brother, you are such a fool! Even if you were interested, you shouldn't have kept us waiting. Besides, you put the child in such a bad situation."
