After Mo Chenxuan sat down on the dragon chair, a deep voice rang out, "Stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The conversation just now came to an abrupt end.

Mo Chenxuan glanced around the hall, and then looked at Gu Niman, "Why didn't the protagonist of today's banquet come?"

Gu Niman smiled and said, "She will be here soon. Should I send someone to urge her?"

"No hurry. Today is her engagement party, so she should dress up nicely. Heng'er, go and take a look?"

Mo Jingheng stood up and bowed, "Yes, Father."

As soon as Mo Jingheng turned around, he saw Su Qingqing wearing a light yellow palace dress, which was more dignified and elegant than usual. The wide skirt flowed behind her, elegant and luxurious.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Mo Jingheng looked at Su Qingqing's appearance and felt pity for her. He strode towards Su Qingqing and stood side by side with her.

Gu Niman's face darkened slightly, and Mo Jingxuan nodded with satisfaction, "Well, not bad, a talented man and a beautiful woman." Then he turned to look at Gu Niman, "Queen, is that right?"

Gu Niman immediately smiled and said, "They are indeed a perfect match, but..."

"But what?"

When Su Qingqing heard the Queen's next words, she felt something was wrong and tightened her hands in her sleeves.

Gu Niman said helplessly: "I wonder if the emperor still remembers the niece of my concubine at the last Mid-Autumn Festival banquet?"

Mo Chenxuan recalled: "Of course, the Queen's niece did dance Ten Miles of Beauty very well."

"As long as the emperor still remembers it."

"Why did you mention her so nicely?"

Gu Niman suddenly stood up and knelt in front of Mo Chenxuan, "Your Majesty, my niece has been obsessed with Heng'er since she last saw him. Now that she heard that Heng'er is getting married, she was so anxious that she vomited blood on the spot."

"My sister-in-law couldn't bear it, so she came to ask me for help. I really couldn't bear to see my niece sick like this, so I wanted to ask the emperor for mercy."

"Oh? There is such a thing?" Mo Chenxuan leaned forward slightly in surprise.

Gu Niman covered her chest uncomfortably and said, "Yes, when Xiao'er learned that Heng'er was going to get married, she swore that she would never marry unless she married Heng'er."

Su Qingqing was slightly shocked. What? Was the Queen going to give her niece to Brother Heng?

She glanced at Mo Jingheng standing beside her, and seeing his calm face, she vaguely wondered, "Could it be that Brother Heng knows?"

Mo Chenxuan stood up and helped the queen up, "Queen, get up first."

Gu Niman sat back on the stool, and Mo Chenxuan's voice rang out, "Since the Queen's niece also likes Heng'er, let the two of them enter the palace together. After all, it is a living life."

Su Qingqing said anxiously: "Your Majesty, but the Third Prince agreed..."

"My son obeys the order!"

Mo Jingheng interrupted Su Qingqing and said, "Then let her enter the palace as a concubine with Qingqing."

Su Qingqing's frown finally relaxed.

Su Shengsheng kept sitting there watching the show, and it was really funny to see Su Qingqing's expression changing from time to time.

When Su Shengsheng heard that Su Qingqing was to enter the palace as the principal concubine, she took some action and slowly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, no matter what, Gu Zhixiao is the niece of the Queen. It would be inappropriate to let her enter the palace as a concubine."

Gu Niman also meant this. She glanced at Su Shengsheng, then said with a smile: "Your Majesty, as long as Zhixiao can serve Heng'er, any status will do."

Mo Chenxuan raised his hand and placed it on the table in front of him, "How can that be possible? It won't sound good if it gets out."

Mo Chenxuan thought for a long time, and Su Zhong immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, how can your daughter be the principal wife? Let her enter the palace as a concubine."

Su Qingqing was so angry that she wanted to stamp her feet. Not only did her father not help her, but he also sided with the Queen.

This is what Mo Chenxuan wanted to hear, and then he looked at Su Qingqing, "What about you, are you willing?"

The emperor's intention is clear. What's it going to do if Su Qingqing says she doesn't want to?

No, she had to act generous so that even if she was just a concubine, the emperor would definitely compensate her something.

She bowed reluctantly and said, "I am willing to do anything as long as I can serve the Third Prince."

Mo Chenxuan nodded with relief and said, "Don't worry, although you are a concubine, you will still be in charge of everything in the mansion."

Su Qingqing smiled immediately after hearing this, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"What does the Queen think of this?"

"I would like to thank you, Your Majesty."

"Okay, let's start the banquet."

As soon as Mo Chenxuan finished speaking, music started playing, followed by several dancers starting to dance.

Everyone at the banquet quickly forgot what had just happened and started happily drinking and chatting.

Su Qingqing was sitting opposite Shengsheng, looking at Su Shengsheng with resentment.

Seeing this, Shengsheng threw a coquettish glance at her. Su Qingqing wanted to slam the table and rush over to hit Su Shengsheng's smug face.

However, Su Shengsheng drank his wine without caring and asked Yi Wan, "Have you been sitting here long enough?"

Yi Wan whispered: "Princess, please wait. The emperor hasn't left yet."

Su Shengsheng raised her eyes to look at the emperor sitting on the dragon throne. She didn't see the emperor's appearance clearly last time. Now it seems... he looks good, but he looks old. She doesn't know how old the prince is, but he looks about the same as his princes.

Su Qingqing looked at Su Shengsheng who was holding his chin and not looking at herself, so she quietly picked up the wine jug next to her and poured something into it.

Then he called a palace maid and said, "Go and put this bottle of wine on the table opposite."

"Yes."

The maid came to Su Shengsheng with wine in her hand, "Princess..."

"Put it here!" Su Shengsheng said calmly without even looking at it.

The maid put the wine away and left respectfully.

Su Qingqing showed a smug look on her face, "Su Shengsheng, just wait for the regent to kick you out."

Yi Wan picked up the wine that the palace maid had just brought and poured a glass for Su Shengsheng.

Su Shengsheng took it and took a sip, "Well, this wine is good, give me some more."

"Yes, princess."

Concubine Wen saw all of Su Qingqing's little movements and whispered to the maidservant next to her: "You go ..."

"Yes."

Su Shengsheng drank a few glasses in a row and felt a little drunk, so he stood up and said, "Yiwan, I can't do it anymore."

Yi Wan supported Su Shengsheng and said, "Then I will take you to the prince's bedroom to rest for a while."

"Ah."

After Su Shengsheng went out, Gu Niman also saw it with her sharp eyes, and immediately signaled the palace maid next to her to follow.

Fengyajian

After Su Shengsheng was helped to the bed by Yi Wan, Yi Wan said anxiously: "I'll bring you some hangover soup."

Su Shengsheng frowned and rubbed his forehead, "Yeah."

After Yi Wan left, Su Shengsheng began to feel uncomfortable and very hot. Only after kicking off the quilt did she feel a little better.

"Is this wine so strong?" Su Shengsheng was full of questions, "Or has my alcohol tolerance decreased?"
