An Qingqian also soon got the news that Liu Yiyi had given birth to a child.

"Miss, Liu Yiyi gave birth to a healthy baby boy." Bo Yun came to report.

"Okay, I understand." An Qingqian was not surprised. This life was the same as the previous one.

Liu Yiyi finally gave birth to a healthy child.

However, unlike her previous life, in this life, she tried her best to frame herself, but she never thought that she had asked someone to invite Xue Wanxian over, who stood at the highest point in the garden and saw everything that happened there completely and clearly.

"Xue Wanxian ordered someone to sell out the maid who delivered the letter to Changshou Hall, and also strictly ordered the people in the courtyard not to spread what happened today, otherwise he would not let them off easily."

An Qingqian nodded to show that he understood.

After this incident, Xue Wanxian must have been extremely sad. His lover used his child to plot against others. This must have been a huge blow to him.

Sure enough, for the next period of time, Xue Wanxian was very quiet and silent, and never sent her anything on purpose again.

Time passed, and soon it was the winter solstice.

The emperor specially held a dinner in the palace, and ministers in the court were allowed to bring their families.

An Qingqian didn't want to ride in the same carriage with Xue Wanxian, but she was worried that someone would see it and tell the emperor, which would cause trouble for them, so she had no choice but to get on Xue Wanxian's carriage.

When the two arrived, there were already many carriages parked at the palace gate.

Xue Wanxian was a fourth-rank marquis, which was not something he could show off in the capital city where many high-ranking officials gathered.

So the two of them quickly got off the carriage and walked over there.

On the way, we also met many other officials with their families, and both sides greeted each other politely.

After taking their seats, An Qingqian looked indifferent, while Xue Wanxian was a little reserved.

He rarely attended palace banquets, and this time, because of Liu Yiyi's matter, he felt uneasy.

Although An Zhenyuan was not in the court for many years, there were still many people here who were on good terms with him.

Xue Wanxian just wanted to attend the banquet here in a low-key manner and then go back to see his children as soon as possible.

The Emperor and the Empress have not come yet. The next position at the bottom left is where the virtuous prince, his wife, and the crown prince Shi Qiuwu sit.

On the right are the crown prince and his family, followed by the other princes, all seated according to age.

The first thing Princess Xian did when she entered the palace was to look for An Qingqian.

She glanced around the palace, but didn't see him at the first sight. She turned to look at her maid and whispered, "Qingzhi, please help me find where An Qingqian is."

Princess Xian was sitting there. Although her position was high, it was still difficult for her to see everyone in the palace.

Qing Zhi pondered over Xue Wanxian's identity and rank in her mind, then looked down. After a moment, she saw Xue Wanxian and An Qingqian.

She leaned forward and said, "Princess, the Marquis of Lin'an and his wife are in the third row from the back near the door."

"Okay, I understand." Princess Xian nodded and pretended to look over there casually.

The virtuous prince was sitting next to the virtuous princess, so he naturally heard Qing Zhi's words. He couldn't help but follow the virtuous princess's gaze and look over there.

An Qingqian sat there upright, without looking around, wearing light-colored clothes and a gold hairpin on her head, looking low-key yet dignified.

However, her face was so dazzling that even without the gorgeous clothes, it couldn't hide her temperament.

The more Princess Xian looked at her, the more she liked her. Someone like An Qingqian should sit next to her. No, she should sit next to her son.

Princess Xian thought about it and looked towards her son again, only to see that he also had his head down, not knowing what he was thinking.

However, the more Princess Xian thought about it, the more she felt that An Qingqian was a perfect match for her son, and it would be perfect if the two of them sat together.

The more she thought about it, the happier she felt. The corners of her lips curled up, and her face was filled with uncontrollable satisfaction and joy.

The wise king was puzzled at first, but when he saw her eyes jumping back and forth between An Qingqian and Shi Qiuwu, he realized that she was starting to fantasize about An Qingqian becoming her daughter-in-law again.

The wise king wanted to say something, but when he was about to open his mouth, he stopped.

Forget it, as long as my wife is happy.

The dinner in the palace was naturally very sumptuous, but compared to usual, there were more dumplings.

Nothing special happened today. After the dancers from the Jiaofangsi performed their dance, the other people who were nearby started talking and chatting.

There was someone nearby talking to Xue Wanxian, and he responded in a low voice.

An Qingqian ate the food silently and didn't chat with others.

This made Princess Xian, who had been paying attention to this side, feel extremely distressed.

She instructed Qing Zhi, "Go and call An Qingqian out and tell her that I have something to talk to her about."

"Yes, Princess." Although Qing Zhi didn't understand why her princess did this, she still nodded and left.

However, before Qing Zhi could reach An Qingqian, he saw An Qingqian being taken away by a palace maid.

Qingzhi paused and looked at the palace maid a few times. She had no impression of her, so she hurried back and told Princess Xian about it.

"What? A palace maid, you don't know her?" Princess Xian frowned slightly.

Qing Zhi had been with her for many years and had been to the palace many times. She didn't know most of the palace maids, but at least she recognized their faces.

She felt so strange, could it be that she was a new maid in the palace?

Princess Xian felt a little uneasy, so she whispered a few words in Qingzhi's ear, and Qingzhi nodded and turned to leave.

However, just as Qing Zhi left, Princess Xian accidentally saw her son again, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

Oh, why was she so stupid? She should have let Shi Qiuwu go. If An Qingqian really encountered something, her son would be the hero to save her.

"Wu'er." Princess Xian called out to Shi Qiuwu.

"Mother?" Shi Qiuwu approached his mother suspiciously.

"Wu'er, just now, mother saw An Qingqian being called out by a palace maid. I don't know what she was going to do. She rarely comes into this palace, and I don't know if anything happened. I can't get away from here, so you go and check for me."

Upon hearing this, Shi Qiuwu thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

Watching Shi Qiuwu leave, Princess Xian couldn't suppress the smile on her face.

"What are you doing?" The wise king sighed lightly, simply not understanding what his wife was doing.

"It's about helping others to achieve their goal. If you don't understand, don't ask. You will know when things are done in the future." Princess Xian spoke mysteriously.

Princess Xian knew that the King Xian did not support her ideas, so there was no need to tell him some things in too much detail.

He just waits until things finally succeed and then sees the results.

An Qingqian followed the palace maid all the way to the back. She had been to the palace several times and had a good memory. She quickly recognized that the direction the palace maid was heading was the Imperial Garden.
