Mother, I have returned to the throne.

Chapter 164 Don’t eat anyone!

"This thing..."

After hearing Song Yuan's explanation, Song Youji's eyes showed obvious interest.

He immediately walked forward, stretched out his hand, and took out a bar of soap from the wooden box.

Put it in front of your eyes and look at it for a while.

A rich floral fragrance wafts into my nose, the smell is exactly the same as mooncakes.

Logically speaking, with such a fragrance, it is impossible to avoid eating it.

How is this thing used for bathing?

As if he saw Song Youji's confusion, Song Yuan took two steps forward, took the soap and began to explain.

"Father, this gift was researched by me personally and given to a friend to help perfect. I was a little worried at first. After all, this gift is quite different from previous ones!"

"It's just that my son and I really don't know how to make mooncakes. We're afraid that we'll make a fool of ourselves and offend the emperor!"

"After much consideration, I had no choice but to change the gift... As for those mooncakes that my third brother gave me before, it was originally because he made too many, so he gave some to me so that I could taste them!"

"If you don't believe me, Father, I'll bring those mooncakes up right now!"

At the end of his speech, Song Yuan waved to his men, and a personal guard immediately stepped forward and opened the wooden box that Song Yuan had been carrying.

This time, a row of exquisite mooncakes came into view.

After witnessing this scene with his own eyes, Song Youji no longer had any doubts in his mind!

But at the moment when the Eternal Emperor's face relaxed, the Fourth Prince's face showed an expression that was uglier than crying.

Even a fool would have realized his mistake at this point.

The so-called opportunity is clearly a trap.

At this moment, the Fourth Prince wished he could slap himself twice!

Song Yuan is despicable and cunning, and has always been a sly person.

I should have anticipated this, but in the end, I still fell into the trap set by the other party!

Isn’t this asking for death?

Fortunately, Song Youji had no time to pay attention to the Fourth Prince at this moment. Instead, he asked with a curious look on his face, holding up the soap in his hand.

"First, tell me how this thing is used for bathing?"

"Father, please have someone bring up a basin of water first, and I'll demonstrate it to you right away!"

Song Yuan gave the order softly, but he didn't expect that as soon as he finished speaking, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from the crowd.

"Your Majesty, I have also heard of this soap, and to be honest, I have been experimenting with it for a long time!"

"This old minister is willing to testify from personal experience that what the eldest prince said is true!"

General Zhao walked out of the crowd. Originally, he was somewhat inconspicuous hiding in the crowd.

He suddenly appeared at this moment and instantly became the focus of everyone's attention.

With just one glance, everyone noticed something was wrong.

Why does General Zhao's complexion look so different from before?

Just as everyone was puzzled, a hint of doubt flashed in Song Youji's eyes: "How did General Zhao recognize this thing?"

General Zhao immediately explained the reason: "To be honest, Your Majesty, the production of this so-called soap also involved my disappointing grandson. It was the cooperation between the prince and my grandson that produced this product!"

"A few days ago, my disappointing grandson sent me a few boxes of soap. I've been washing my face with it every day these days. Your Majesty, please see! My skin has improved a lot!"

General Zhao was not lying. As a member of the Ministry of War, he fought on the battlefield.

Exposed to wind and sun, his face became as rough as tree bark.

But now, although there is still some gap compared to the other concubines, her skin is still fair and tender.

After all, General Zhao has a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

He was apparently helping Song Yuan, but in fact he was promoting his own grandson.

His good-for-nothing grandson finally had a chance to show off, so how could he, as a grandfather, be stingy?

Under General Zhao's flattery, Song Youji could no longer suppress his curiosity.

He immediately ordered the servant to fetch a basin of clean water, and then followed Song Yuan's instructions to pick up the soap and start working.

However, at this moment many ministers came forward to dissuade him.

After all, Song Youji has a dragon body. What if there is any accident?

Being forced into a corner, Song Youji could only find a beloved concubine to do things on his behalf.

Song Yuan personally stepped forward to provide guidance.

After a while, the concubine raised her head, touched her smooth face, sniffed the fragrance at the tip of her nose, and her face was full of surprise.

"Your Majesty, this soap is truly magical. I feel like my face has aged several years, and it even has a wonderful fragrance. This stuff is amazing!"

With the previous experience as a lesson, Song Youji immediately took charge of the operation himself.

After trying it, I am even more convinced of the effectiveness of this soap!

"Okay, okay, this thing is really good!"

After some praise, Song Youji took the towel and wiped the water off his face, then looked at Song Yuan with eyes full of admiration.

"Did you and that Fatty Zhao really make this soap?"

"Your Majesty, this is recorded in ancient books. I simply copied down the steps for making soap. The real credit goes mainly to the skillful hands of Young Master Zhao!"

"Not bad, not bad!" Facing Song Yuan's explanation, Song Youji smiled and nodded.

But the next second, when he turned to look at the Fourth Prince, there was a hint of indifference in his pupils.

"Okay, okay, you really are my good son. I failed to deal with your elder brother last time, and now you've caused trouble again!"

"Father, calm down. This is all a misunderstanding!"

The Fourth Prince trembled like a sieve and immediately knelt on the ground, beginning to explain.

Song Youji's face darkened and he shouted, "Enough!"

"Today is a happy day, shut up right there! I don't want to ruin your good mood. I'll come back and settle the score with you later!"

Song Youji waved his hand, and the Fourth Prince immediately retreated as if he had been pardoned. However, before leaving, he did not forget to turn around and glared at Song Yuan fiercely.

You bastard, you plotted against me again!

Just wait, boss, sooner or later, I will make you pay the price!

By the way, there is also the third brother, he is also involved in this matter.

Neither of these two is any good!

"Song Qi, get out here too!" After scolding the Fourth Prince, Song Youji still felt unsatisfied.

He roared and called out the third prince's name.

The third prince immediately stood up and knelt, but no one expected that this time, before the third prince could speak, Song Yuan actually stepped forward, knelt on the ground in front of Song Youji, and started to explain immediately.

"Father, when my third brother gave me the gift this time, he clearly told me that those mooncakes were for me to eat. It really has nothing to do with him!"

"Third brother, you have good intentions, but you have clearly been taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives. I hope Father will see through this!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the audience widened their eyes.

what's the situation?

Are these two still good friends?

Who didn’t know this before?

Among the princes, Song Yuan and Song Qi have always been like water and fire.

This scene now makes everyone feel a little unreal.

But in Song Youji's eyes, it made the old father quite pleased.

My two sons have finally grown up!

"Song Qi, since your elder brother has pleaded for you, this matter ends here!"

"Thank you, Father!"

Seeing that Song Youji looked at him with a hint of admiration, the Third Prince was suddenly delighted, but also felt a little pained.

It turned out that the reason why he took the initiative to give Song Yuan 100,000 taels of silver was for today's scene.

Taking this opportunity, he not only eliminated an opponent, but also consolidated his image through Song Yuan.

Doing this can definitely be considered killing two birds with one stone!

It was this revenge that made the Third Prince feel really unwilling.

Song Yuan spends one hundred thousand taels each time. If it weren't for the immediate benefits, Song Qi would never be able to afford it!

After experiencing a small disturbance, Song Youji quickly calmed down and calmly ordered his servants to take back the soap that Song Yuan had given him.

As for the mooncakes sent by other princes, Song Youji simply waved his hand and distributed them directly to the ministers.

"Let's eat these mooncakes together!"

In this way, anyone can see that Song Youji likes the soap, and everyone now has a new understanding of Song Yuan's handicrafts.

As the atmosphere of the party gradually reached its climax, only the crowd seemed a little deserted.

"Song Qi, you're the one who organized this party. On such an occasion, why don't you present the program you prepared?"

"Replying to Father!" Faced with Song Youji's request, Song Qi's eyes lit up. He had waited for so long, wasn't it just for this moment?

He stepped forward, bowed, and stated his reason: "I was originally thinking, on such a reunion day, shouldn't we prepare some entertainment to liven up the atmosphere? But then I thought of something, so I'm going to do this today. I hope your Majesty will agree!"

"Oh? What do you think?"

"I am just considering that Big Brother will soon be leaving the Imperial City and heading to the frontier. It will be a dangerous journey, so I should hold this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet for Big Brother!"

Not bad, really good!

Faced with such a proposal, Song Youji couldn't help but nodded, unable to hide the joy on his face.

This time he truly recognized the Third Prince's magnanimity.

Being able to consider this point of his elder brother, the third brother already possesses some of the bearing of a prince!

"Okay, okay, you two have such a deep brotherly love for each other. How can I, as a father, refuse such a thought?"

"Since you said so, let's do it this way. Let's do it together today for your big brother!"

"Thank you, Father!"

Song Qi noticed the change in Song Youji and was delighted.

While being excited, he turned around and looked at Song Yuan, and immediately took out an object from his arms.

"Brother, and sister-in-law, your journey to the border is extremely dangerous. I spent several days obtaining this amulet specifically for you!"

As Song Qi spoke, he handed the amulet to his eyes.

But when Song Yuan saw this scene, he almost couldn't help but jump up and down on the spot.

I just want to ask why those ministers don’t give gifts?

After all this time, it seems like you're the one playing tricks, right?

What I want is money, gold, silver and treasures. How much silver can a peace amulet you give me be worth?

We clearly agreed before that you seek fame and I seek profit.

You are such a dishonest boy, you are destroying the bridge after crossing it, right?

Okay, okay, since you didn’t let me eat enough with this meal.

Then no one should eat it!
