The ministers weren't invited to yesterday's feast, so the officials didn't know what exactly happened yesterday, but what he heard on the way was completely different from what the Crown Prince just said.
Emperor Huilin said: "Don't equivocate. Just say it!"
The official hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, everyone is saying that the one who solved the three questions raised by Princess Xiliang yesterday was Miss Tong, the daughter of Imperial Censor Tong, saying that she helped the Flower Picking Childe out and came up with the idea of using duck eggs to make the dish…"
As for the part that the Crown Princess rudely drove Tong Yingying out, the official didn't dare to mention it.
Although he just relayed the hearsay, he still didn't dare to mention it.
Duke Anyuan frowned. "There were not only the guests of our country, but also the envoys from foreign countries present yesterday. This rumor is ridiculous!"
