The cold and aloof temperament has faded, and a bit more friendly has emerged.

"Yes, I have a very good taste." Princess Xian looked her son up and down and was very satisfied with his outfit.

Shi Qiuwu just smiled faintly, watching his mother happy, and didn't say anything else.

"You are not allowed to change. If I don't see you wearing this outfit later, I will be angry."

Today is Princess Xian's birthday, so she is naturally very busy. Before leaving, she warned her son again.

In the hot summer, there are green plants everywhere in Prince Xian’s mansion. It is extremely fresh and green, making people feel a little cooler just by looking at it.

There were also many luxurious ice basins placed in the yard, adding a bit of coolness to the hot palace.

An Qingqian took Po Yun and followed the maid from the palace to the designated place.

Before they reached the banquet venue, they ran into Shi Qiuwu who came out from the next door.

Both parties stood there in a daze. An Qingqian looked at Shi Qiuwu in surprise. Shi Qiuwu did not expect to see An Qingqian here.

"Your servant greets the prince." The maid who led the way was the first to react and saluted Shi Qiuwu.

"Greetings, Prince." An Qingqian and Bo Yun also reacted very quickly.

"No need to be so polite." Shi Qiuwu's steady voice came.

An Qingqian noticed that Shi Qiuwu's dress today was very different from usual.

Before, when she saw him, he was always wearing plain clothes, but today he was wearing dark red clothes. He had high brow bones and narrow, sharp eyes. Because he had been chanting Buddha's name for many years, his compassion was also a bit distant, making people feel afraid to approach him.

When he saw her, a faint smile flashed across Shi Qiuwu's lips. He did not expect that his mother had invited her.

While An Qingqian was looking at Shi Qiuwu, Shi Qiuwu was also looking at her.

She was wearing a dark blue dress and a blue hairpin and hairpin on her head, which was exquisite and low-key.

Her eyebrows and eyes were gentle, and when she saw him, her eyes were full of surprise, which made her look somewhat cute.

Her cheeks are rosy, her nose is straight and upturned, and her red lips are slightly pursed. Even though she is dressed simply, it is difficult to hide her picturesque face.

"But are we going to Zhixin Garden?" Shi Qiuwu saw that An Qingqian was not looking at him, so he smiled slightly and asked.

Zhixinyuan is where the banquet is held today.

"That's right." An Qingqian nodded.

Although she had done a lot of psychological preparation before coming, she still felt embarrassed when she really saw Shi Qiuwu.

Sensing An Qingqian's discomfort, Shi Qiuwu said "hmm" and stood where he was.

He waited until An Qingqian left before following her.

All of this was seen by the virtuous king and his wife who were hiding not far away.

"Did you see it? What a perfect match!" Princess Xian was extremely satisfied with An Qingqian.

"What do you mean by a perfect match? Do you want our son to have any relationship with a married woman?" The wise king frowned, stroked his beard with his hand, his face full of dissatisfaction.

"Oh, you really don't understand anything. Don't you see the difference between them?" Princess Xian didn't expect her husband to say this. She turned around and glared at him.

"Her current status is indeed somewhat inappropriate, so can't you think of a solution?"

"Me? What can I do? Should I go directly to see the emperor and ask him to issue an edict to order them to divorce, and then grant her marriage to Wuer?" The wise king looked at his princess in disbelief and spoke in a sarcastic tone with a held breath.

Unexpectedly, when the virtuous princess heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, "This is a good idea. The emperor has a good relationship with you. If you go and ask him, he will definitely agree."

The wise king: "..."

The virtuous king looked at his princess helplessly and said, "I would rather destroy ten temples than ruin a marriage."

The virtuous princess said righteously, "They are unhappy. You are saving them, not destroying them."

"This is inappropriate."

"What do you mean by appropriate or inappropriate? Shi Xiaoyao, I think you just don't want your son to be happy. You want him to be single for the rest of his life, right?"

The virtuous prince kept declining, and his wife became angry.

"That's not what I meant." Seeing that his wife was angry, the wise king softened his tone.

"So you agree to this marriage?"

"?" The wise king had a question mark on his face. When did he agree?

"Okay, I agree. Now let's go down. It's almost time."

"I didn't agree." The virtuous prince frowned again, but he spoke in a very low voice, obviously not daring to let the virtuous prince's wife hear.

Seeing his queen leave, the wise king sighed and could only follow her silently.

After An Qingqian sat down, many people were surprised.

After all, after she got married, she rarely attended these banquets.

Thinking about what happened in Lin'an Marquis Mansion during this period, and the pregnant woman that Xue Wanxian brought back from outside, the news had already spread all over the city. Everyone looked at An Qingqian with a bit of pity and sympathy in their eyes.

Of course, there were also many people who were watching the show, and for a moment, many eyes were fixed on her.

However, no one would talk about her openly. They were not afraid of the Lin'an Marquisate, but they were wary of General An Zhenyuan.

The banquet started soon. There were not so many concerns here. Men and women did not need to sit at separate tables. People attending the banquet only needed to sit according to their rank.

Actually, An Qingqian married only a fourth-rank marquis who had no real power. Among all the guests who came today, her status was considered low.

However, the maid who led the way just now brought her directly to the front, and her position was almost the same as Lan Mingyue.

An Qingqian guessed in her heart that Princess Xian arranged her position based on her status as the daughter of the An family.

Everyone's eyes quickly shifted away from An Qingqian and fell on Shi Qiuwu.

Shi Qiuwu rarely appears, but almost every time he appears, he can attract the attention of most girls.

Especially, what he wore today was different from usual, with a tall figure, handsome and indifferent face, and extraordinary temperament.

Although he was not interested in worldly affairs, many girls were secretly attracted to him because of his appearance and status.

Among the guests who came today, there were many ladies who brought their daughters with them.

When they saw Shi Qiuwu appear, they all opened their eyes wide, with surprise flashing in their eyes.

Princess Xian glanced at everyone and finally stopped her gaze on An Qingqian. A look of joy flashed across her lips, and then she pretended to look away as if nothing had happened.

An Qingqian is indeed beautiful. Even with such a low-key dress, it is still difficult to conceal her charm. No wonder her son is attracted to her. It's a pity that she is already married.

But it doesn’t matter. You can get divorced after getting married. It’s not a problem.

Shi Qiuwu stood behind Princess Xian and did not notice the expression of his mother.

Princess Xian said a few polite words and the banquet began.

Everyone ate and started chatting with people they knew.

Lan Mingyue and An Qingqian were close to each other, but neither of them said anything.
