It can be regarded as Song Yi's first visit to the Seventh Prince's new residence in Yangzhou, but the atmosphere doesn't seem to be very good!

Perhaps it should be said that it has been silent for too long...too long.

When Song Yi first came, the Seventh Prince was still a little bit reluctant, he thought Song Yi was here to say goodbye.But he didn't expect Song Yi to be alone with him, which surprised him and his face turned red...

However, as time passed and Song Yi didn't speak for a long time, he finally became serious and realized something.

The whole morning passed in silence, and the atmosphere was eerily quiet.So much so that the Seventh Prince's face turned pale, and he knew that silence meant that what Song Yi wanted to say must be very important and embarrassing.

And the longer the silence, it can only symbolize the importance of this matter.

Finally, the Seventh Prince couldn't bear this kind of quiet torture at first. He sat in the chair in a daze, didn't touch the cup of tea that had been cold for a long time, and said absentmindedly, "Say... I'm ready."

Song Yi frowned, as if he hadn't figured out what to say.In fact, the reason why he was silent for so long was not to wait for the Seventh Prince to speak first, but because he himself knew how to speak was the best way.

He once planted a seed in the heart of the Seventh Prince in the capital. Maybe too long time has passed, and the Seventh Prince may have forgotten it, or it may have germinated, but Song Yi now wants to let that seed break through the ground... see the light !

With a sigh, he finally found the opportunity to speak.

Picking up the cup of herbal tea on the table, he drank it all in one gulp, and then said to the Seventh Prince, "There are some things, because General Yue has no chance to say them again, so let me tell you!"

"If you want to be filial, you must first be self-reliant."

The Seventh Prince's body shook, and he instantly understood the meaning of this sentence.His eyes were red, and he looked at Song Yi and said sadly, "Qin Fang dare not... He is already the emperor, so maybe it's good when all the dust settles."

"Looking at all the history, it shows that this is not the end! Emperor Kuang called General Zhao Ke here at a critical moment, and sent the little princess here. This means that he hopes that the seventh prince and the little princess can have their own safety. territory."

"Yeah, so isn't that bad?" the Seventh Prince asked.

"Do you think... Zhao Ze thinks this is a good situation?" Song Yi asked back.

The Seventh Prince was silent for a while, and asked with a blank expression, "Then what can I do?"

"Almost all civil servants in the court who are close to the Seventh Prince have lost power, but Zuo Qianqian, Ning Fanyu and others are still by His Highness's side... This means that there are still people by your side."

"You want me...to resist?" The Seventh Prince smiled wryly, with tears in his eyes.

"It's just for self-protection! If you can't protect yourself, the late emperor sent the little princess away at the last moment and brought General Zhao Ke here, wouldn't it be in vain?"

"However, my father can't even let me go back to Beijing to have a last look. Doesn't he just want me to stay here in peace? What you mean by self-protection and self-reliance, you still want me to have the strength to fight against him, I know !" The Seventh Prince cried out, with a sad tone.

Song Yi was a little helpless, the Seventh Prince's weak temperament was rare among the men he had ever met.That's why he was silent for so long before deciding to speak.But I didn't expect him to still collapse...

"If Zhao Ze doesn't embarrass you, then you will be fine. If he wants to embarrass you, you may stop it for a while? What does the late emperor mean by entrusting the little princess to you? Didn't he ask you to protect him? If you can't become stronger, you are afraid of being destroyed. Only in the morning and evening... I am telling the truth, I hope His Highness forgive me!"

When Song Yi said later, his tone already had a bit of an atmosphere of hating iron but not steel.

The Seventh Prince was stunned, and finally wiped away his tears. He looked at Song Yi in confusion and asked, "Then what should I do to protect myself and Xue'er?"

Song Yi pondered for a while, and then said solemnly, "The first step you have to do is...accept Zhao Min as your concubine!"

The seventh prince opened his mouth wide, looked at Song Yi in disbelief, sighed after a while and laughed at himself, "Is this to win over General Zhao Ke?"

"Yes! The only thing that can protect you now is General Zhao Ke's army. Only by letting General Zhao get closer to you can you be safe for the time being! You and Miss Zhao Min have known each other since childhood. If you want to get married, It's also logical...not to mention, your highness is soft-tempered, but Zhao Min is decisive...this is a good match!" Song Yi said seriously.

The Seventh Prince smiled bitterly, "But between Zhao Min and I, there is only friendship between friends, but no relationship between men and women!"

"After consummating the house, you will have a husband and wife relationship, and you will have a family relationship when you have children. As for the relationship between a man and a woman, you have been getting along well for so many years. As long as the life between the two of you continues to be harmonious like this, it is also the relationship between a man and a woman. Love! The lingering love between a man and a woman in poetry and opera is something to be desired but unattainable. If you marry Zhao Min, Your Highness, you will definitely change your mind!"

"You also think I'm too weak?" The seventh prince laughed at himself, looking at Song Yi sadly.

"You're just too kind... But if you don't change the current situation, I'm afraid you won't be able to protect the little princess after all! Zhao Ze is the emperor, and you should know better than anyone else how powerful he is once he has that identity. And how weak you would be!"

The Seventh Prince was silent, there were no more tears in his eyes, but his heart seemed to be broken from crying.

"As you said, even if I marry Zhao Min, how can I stop him?" The Seventh Prince asked earnestly.

There are some problems that he has been thinking about, but he has never said anything, and he has never wanted to take action!But now, he seems to have wavered.

"If your Highness is determined to be self-reliant, there is still hope. Everyone in the world must know that you have stayed in the palace longer than other princes. In a sense, this actually symbolizes the late emperor's love for you!"

"Is that right?"

The Seventh Prince looked up at Song Yi, with a strange look in his eyes.

"If the emperor didn't love you back then, how could he let you live in the palace forever? You should know that Duke Ming has always envied you...Master Ming went to Luoyang very early, and he also didn't have the chance to return to Beijing. Isn't it enough to show that in the eyes of the first emperor, you are more hopeful?"

The seventh prince thought for a while, and then asked, "Father once said that you can be the teacher of future generations! So now you are telling me this as my teacher, or as a friend?"

Song Yi thought about it seriously, then smiled and said, "Both teachers and friends."

The Seventh Prince suddenly cupped his hands and saluted, "Since accepting the concubine is the first thing, then you must tell me the second or third thing...?"

"The first thing has been done well, the second thing...General Zhao Ke and Zhao Min will teach you how to do it!" Song Yi said.

"Oh... yes! Zhao Min is good at management and martial arts...I can learn a lot, but it's not enough for me to feel at ease in Jiangnan?" The Seventh Prince asked calmly.

It was like, at this moment, he finally looked like a proud prince.But Song Yi understood that the seventh prince must be in extreme pain at the moment, because growth is always the biggest change, and this change actually means sacrificing some innocence!

Song Yi was a little relieved, and said with mixed emotions, "If the south of the Yangtze River is settled, it will definitely block the road going south, and I am in Yanyun, and the north will not be controlled by him for the time being! And Luoyang... ...Duke Ming must hate Zhao Ze even more than you, Seventh Prince, so...to keep Jiangnan is to protect his family, even if he has power over the world, he still dare not step into Jiangnan easily..."

The Seventh Prince was silent, and it took a long time to sigh sadly, "Will you stay and drink my wedding wine?"

Song Yi was startled, he didn't expect the Seventh Prince to agree so quickly, but he also sighed sadly, "I'm afraid it's too late, I'm going north soon."
