Prince Rong was unhappy, his face darkening.
Everyone could see that Prince Rong and Prince Yong'an really didn't get along; their conversations were awkward and short, almost leading to conflict.
Wang Ce was in a difficult position, knowing his cousin Su Xinyi too well - strong-headed, powerful, and quick to fight. He had heard many stories about her while she served under the master of the Eastern Palace.
But he didn't expect her to be so stubborn against Prince Rong's cousin. Couldn't she be a bit more gentle like a proper lady?
What should he do?
As Wang Ce was trying to think of a way to smooth things over, heir Shang next to him spoke up, "Prince Yong'an is right, officials should serve the people. But today is not about official matters. Since we're here for a banquet and there are many people around, why don't we play the Flower Command game? It's simple, entertaining, and a good way to pass the time."
