The prince kneels every day. Has the princess forgiven him today?

After making this decision, Song Xiwan went home to spend a few days with his parents.

The two of them no longer worried as much as before, but just told her to take care of herself.

Song Xiwan deliberately acted coquettishly to A Niang, "Do you think I'm grown up now and you don't have to worry about me anymore?"

Xu took her hand, glanced at her and denied it, "How is that possible? You will always be A Niang's child."

But from what happened at the girls' school this time, it can be seen that Xiwan has her own ambitions in her heart. As a mother, how can I not support her?

Besides, the prince is still by my side.

The only regret is that the time I spent with Xiwan was too short.

Song Xiwan noticed the sadness in her mother's eyes and said softly, "After I finish these things, I will come back and spend time with you and father."

"it is good."

Xu smiled, and then said, "I have asked someone to prepare your favorite meal tonight, and asked your eldest brother to come back early, but he seems to be very busy recently."

Everyone in the family holds an official position and is busy, leaving home early and returning late, but she is the only one who is idle.

Song Xiwan looked away guiltily, naturally knowing what her elder brother was busy with in the palace.

Either taking care of Xie Qingyuan's health or handling the official business left by Xie Chengqian.

"As the Prime Minister, he is inevitably busy."

"Right."

Xu was not suspicious.

Song Xiwan brought up another matter. "After I leave Shangjing City, the Women's Academy will still need someone to look after it. Mother, are you willing to take on this task?"

She heard from the servants in the mansion that her mother was very bored recently.

As long as it doesn't affect my health, I can help take care of the girls' school. It also allows me to not have to worry about anything at home alone.

Xu was stunned. "Me?"

Xu had heard that many wives of high-ranking officials in the capital went to teach at the girls' school, and she felt a little yearning for it, but her health was not very good.

Song Xiwan broke her hesitation with one word, "Well, there are people I left there, as well as Master Du. You don't have to worry about it, mother. Just go and take a look."

Staying at home all day is even worse for your health.

Xu's heart moved, "Okay."

"Good what? What are you talking about?"

Song Wenyi learned that Xiwan had returned to her parents' home today, so he came back from the Dali Temple early. When he saw the mother and daughter sitting and chatting, all the fatigue in his heart disappeared.

What scene is more pleasing to the eye than this one?

Song Xiwan looked up and called out, "Dad."

Song Wenyi's smile widened as he walked up to them in two or three steps. "You look thinner. Have you been working too hard recently? I'll ask the kitchen to give you some nourishment."

Song Xiwan said with a helpless smile: "Dad, we see each other every day in court, why do you say it's like we haven't seen each other for a long time?"

Besides, Xie Chengqian is in the palace, so any supplements that need to be made up can be made up as soon as possible.

She obviously didn't lose weight!

Song Wenyi wasn't embarrassed at all, and said with a smile, "It might not have been obvious when I was wearing my official uniform, but now that I'm home, it's obvious."

Song Xiwan: “…”

She is really not as good as my father at telling lies with open eyes.

Xu glared at him, "What nonsense are you talking about? Go play chess with the prince when you have nothing to do."

The prince was with her, but Xi Wan insisted on being alone with her and sent the prince to the front hall to sit and drink tea. She was worried that the prince would be unhappy.

It was widely rumored that Xi Wan knew how to control her husband. In Xu's opinion, it was just that the prince loved Xi Wan sincerely and didn't want her to suffer any grievances.

But the way for a husband and wife to remain together is to respect each other.

Song Wenyi's face fell in dissatisfaction, "I don't want to play chess with the prince."

This is not on the same level at all.

The prince always tried to be as humble as possible so that his defeat would not be so obvious, but Song Wenyi had been an official for half his life, so he was well aware of his little tricks.

Song Wenyi really didn't want to lose face at his age. Every time he discussed something with the prince, he felt like he had lived half his life in vain.

But he was obviously a famous talent in the capital city back then!

Xu said unhappily, "If you don't go, do you expect me to go?"

Song Wenyi stroked his chin and thought seriously for a moment, "Madam's chess skills were no less than mine back then. If she plays chess with the prince, she really won't lose."

Xu: “…”

Song Xiwan looked at his father and mother making excuses and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The two of them looked over together, their eyes filled with a hint of resentment.

Song Xiwan immediately raised his hands in surrender, "Alright, you don't have to deal with him, we'll go together."

Xu and Song Wenyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the prince's feelings for Xi Wan are obvious, their awe of Prince Xuan is ingrained in their bones and cannot be easily eliminated.

Unless it is necessary, I really don't want to be alone with King Xuan.

When Song Xiwan and her father and mother went to the front hall, they found that her eldest brother had returned and was pestering Xie Chengqian to ask about official business.

She muttered softly, "Look at Big Brother, he's not afraid at all."

Song Wenyi and Xu were choked.

How can discussing official business be the same as dealing with the prince?

Xie Chengqian immediately spotted Song Xiwan and handed the memorial back to Song Junling, ruthlessly saying, "Solve it yourself."

Song Junling's face wrinkled into a ball.

Today he heard that Xi Wan and the prince had returned home, but they had specially brought all the official business back with them. He had been reading those many memorials for several days and nights but still couldn't sort them out.

I just want to take this opportunity to be lazy!

"The prince is more clear about this matter. Besides, Xiwan has to accompany her father and mother, so she is busy."

Song Wenyi clicked his tongue, "What nonsense are you talking about? Your mother and I are going to the kitchen to check. Xiwan and the prince will stay here. You can handle your own affairs."

As a prime minister, he has to ask the prince for help for everything. How ridiculous!

Soong Junling felt extremely aggrieved.

That wasn't his business!

Song Xiwan held his forehead helplessly. He first sent his father and mother away, then considerately asked his eldest brother, "What's the problem? Let me take a look for you?"

Song Junling comforted him immediately, but his sister still felt more sorry for him.

"It's a Jingzhou corruption case. The amount doesn't add up. I've been calculating for a few days and suspect there's a batch of stolen money that hasn't been found, but I have no clue."

Song Xiwan was about to take the memorial to check it, but it was snatched away by Xie Chengqian halfway.

His cold voice rang out slowly, "Jingzhou has well-developed waterways. It's not easy to transport such a large amount of silver in a short period of time without leaving any trace. Let's check the bottom of the water."

Song Junling was stunned for a moment, and then his mind suddenly became clear.

"Yes!"

Why didn't he think of this?

Song Junling's dissatisfaction with the prince dissipated a little, but he still couldn't help but mutter, "Your Majesty has thought of this a long time ago, why didn't you tell me directly, so that we don't waste time."

He is very busy now!

Xie Chengqian replied calmly, "I thought you could think of it."

Song Junling's self-esteem was greatly hurt.

If it were before, he might have found the answer if he thought about it carefully, but he has been so busy lately that he is dizzy.

Song Xiwan sighed and shook her head, "I didn't know and thought it was you, big brother, who was pregnant."
