Zuo Linyi wasn't a busybody, but tonight he was obviously a bit distracted. When the Emperor approved of Zuo Linyi, the Empress smiled and said, "Yi'er is already 22, it's time for strict discipline."

Emperor Hua coldly snorted. He also hated Zuo Linyi for not being able to do enough.

In the early years of the empress's life, the first few princes had died prematurely, resulting in only this one direct relative being the youngest. Plus, he wasn't good enough, so the Emperor kept worrying about Zuo Lanyu and Zuo Lanyi. He had even chased Prince Ming and King Dingbei out early on.

In these few years, Dingbei Wang had achieved great success and gained a certain level of influence within the imperial court. Although the Ming Prince was weak, he treated everyone with mercy. The people of the feudal fiefdom under his jurisdiction were at ease and happy.

Hua Di decided to let them compete on their own.

"It's all for you to get used to. If you have nothing to do all day, find him some serious work to do tomorrow, so as to not cause trouble everywhere. "

The empress replied, her heart also filled with worry. She knew better than anyone that her son could not be an ordinary person, but his personality was truly stubborn and difficult to control. He could do whatever he wanted, and no one could persuade him otherwise.

As the banquet drew to a close, everyone knew that the Song Family's eldest daughter had astonishing tea skills, was skilled in medicine, and was well liked by the Emperor. King Yu even made a vow to the public that there would be no changes in the future. Song Qingyu would definitely be a part of Imperial Concubine Yu in the future. At this point, everyone had no choice but to be more respectful towards Song Qingyu.

Smoke rose up and everyone walked out.

Song Yiyan finally had a chance to get close to Zuo Linyu. Even if Zuo Linyu wanted to go to Song Qingyu, Song Yiyan would not admit defeat.

"Prince Yu, a new year gift."

Song Yiyan smiled sweetly, her bright eyes shining with colorful fireworks. She smiled, and it shone like the starry sky.

Zuo Ruyu didn't notice her beauty, but started to look for Song Qingyu in the crowd. In his opinion, Song Qingyu was too abnormal tonight.

King Dingbei smiled playfully. "Second Miss Song, why is it that only Seventh Brother has a present?"

Song Yiyan's eyes were only focused on Zuo Linyu. After hearing King Dingbei's joke, she turned around and glared at him, continuing to find a topic to talk to him. Dingbei looked embarrassed, but he could only laugh it off.

On the other side, Song Qingyu was standing at the back of the crowd. Zuo Linyi leaned against the stone lion at the entrance of the palace and looked up at the fireworks.

Song Qingyu turned around and chuckled, but his tone was ice-cold. "The person who saved me that day was not Sir Li, why did he lie to me?"

Zuo Linyi heard her words and shifted his gaze from the fireworks. "This prince seems to have only said that the person was at the racetrack. He didn't say anything else."

Song Qing was surprised, he really didn't say anything. Song Qingyu thought to himself, I've heard from A Wan that Li Yixian and the leader of the imperial guards were punished that night, but who else could have entered the palace so easily?

The racetrack, the racetrack.

Song Qingyu said in his heart as he thought about the people he had met at the racetrack. While thinking of this, he felt a little irritated and headed straight for the Song Residence's carriage from the stone steps.

Zuo Linyi stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the figure that left in anger. The corner of his mouth held a faint smile.

Mu Quan had never been this worried, "Master, I don't know what you're thinking, but I can tell that Miss Song definitely has a deep grudge against Master. Close range contact, be careful of your life. "

Zuo Linyi turned around and glared at him. "How is the investigation going?"

Mu Quan was startled, and immediately reacted, "It's exactly as Master predicted, King Dingbei did indeed accumulate some power. The Mu Rong family sent a message saying that King Dingbei had tried to win him over many times, and had even tried to form a private party in the imperial court. "

"Go back and tell the branch leader to be careful, there's more than one person after him." Being too straightforward, you should be careful not to get killed. "

Mu Quan nodded, he suddenly thought of something, "Master, the last time you mentioned it to your subordinate, your subordinate specifically went to Yue City. Because Master had repeatedly told me about it, I used the Villa's power on my own accord, and the result was not what it seemed like on the surface. Indeed, back then the Li Family was not destroyed, but annihilated by the Song Family and the Imperial Palace. "

Zuo Linyi's gaze turned slightly cold, and he interrupted coldly, "Let's talk when we get back."

After the fireworks, the Song Family's carriage returned to the Song Manor. The Song Manor was bustling with noise and excitement. However, Song Zhentian got off the palanquin, feeling slightly angry. Song Yiyan was dispirited when she was rejected by Zuo Linyu.

Furthermore, Song Zhenghua also did not return this year. Song Zhenghua was infuriated, and the New Year's Eve meal ended on a bad note.

This was also the first time that Song Qingyu had met Song Zhenghua. Song Zhenghua did not have much of a background. He rarely went out on official business and returned home. Today, Song Zhenghua was in a hurry to meet him and leave in a huff.

As for Song Chengxiu, Song Qingyu had already told the Tian family about him. He didn't know why Song Chengxiu still hadn't come back. However, when he saw that the Tian family was still in a daze, he knew that something had happened. Since everyone was there, she didn't ask.

Everyone left one by one. When Song Qingyu saw the madame leave gloomily, he also left. He was suddenly called by Song Zhentian.

"Ah Yu, come with me."

Song Qing was dazed for a moment and then nodded.

At first, Nannan was happy that Song Qingyu had returned, but when she heard his cold and serious voice, she was shocked. She supported Song Qingyu and asked in a small voice: "Miss, what happened to Old Master?"

Song Qingyu guessed that Song Zhentian was doing it for today's banquet. Song Qingyu had already thought of a countermeasure, but now that Nannan had asked, he had a new plan.

Although the marriage had already been decided, this was an opportunity to trip up the royal palace. As long as he could make her completely give up on Song Yiyan. He then started to stir up the relationship between the Imperial Household and Zuo Linyu. His first step could be considered a success.

After all, tripping the government wasn't something that could be done overnight. Thinking of this, Song Qingyu bit his lower lip and decided to take a gamble.

"For my rejection of the marriage. I must give him a reasonable explanation for refusing the marriage today. With this explanation, he could only bet on Consort Chen and Madam Shen. I bet that the Shen Clan will not hesitate to get rid of me. "

Nannan was shocked when she heard this.

"Nannan, no matter what happens, you must not panic. "Trust me."

At this time, they had already entered the main hall, only to see Madam Shen sitting in her seat, as if she had been waiting for a long time. She did not know what had happened during the banquet, but she was very happy when she saw that Song Zhentian was displeased with Song Zhenyu.

Song Zhentian was slightly angry as he walked up to his seat and coldly said, "Kneel."

Song Qingyu fell to his knees with a thump.

"Do you know your wrongs?"

"Ah Yu doesn't know."

Song Zhentian saw that Song Qingyu did not have the slightest bit of regret in his heart, and became angry from embarrassment. "Even if you have a huge reason, you can't refuse the marriage in public and make things difficult for the Duke and his wife!"

Song Qingyu was slightly startled as he looked earnestly at Song Zhentian, "Today, my daughter spoke from the bottom of her heart. My daughter does not want to marry King Yu."

Song Zhentian only wanted to teach Song Qingyu a lesson for not understanding the rules. He didn't expect Song Qingyu to say that he didn't want to marry Zuo Linyu. What kind of reason could there be for her not to marry? Song Zhentian thought that he had misheard and had no choice but to ask again, "What did you say?"
