The passers-by are vicious

In order to avoid being rude at the banquet, Jiang Wanwan and Sheng Hongyi only said a word and then took Qiuyu out of the hall to walk outside to get some fresh air to sober up.

The two of them walked around the hall, and when they saw the big tree standing somewhat abruptly in the courtyard across the wall, Jiang Wanwan stopped and looked up slightly.

I sighed in my heart that I didn't expect there would be an ancient tree in the palace.

But along with the sound of light footsteps, a strong voice came from behind the master and servant.

"It seems that Madam is living well after marriage. Zhang Dan is relieved."

Jiang Wanwan was helped by Qiuyu and turned around. It was indeed Zhang Dan's resolute face.

His thick black eyebrows were stretched out, his figure was tall, upright and straight, and he walked with authority at every step.

Fortunately, Zhang Dan knew that the two people's identities were different at this time, and he quickly stopped not far away.

Jiang Wanwan nodded with her chin up, feeling slightly tipsy. "I never thought that after not seeing you for more than a month, everything has changed."

Zhang Dan said nothing, but the moonlight falling on his tall figure made him look a little lonely.

Jiang Wanwan lowered her eyes and said softly, "Could it be that the general is blaming me?"

"Yes, I was unable to wait for the general to come back. But... what I needed most was time. My husband happened to come to my house to propose marriage, so I nodded and agreed."

Jiang Wanwan looked at Zhang Dan with a sad look in her eyes. "Besides, the day the general left, he had already guessed what would happen between you and me, right?"

Zhang Dan looked at the drunk Jiang Wanwan, the scar on his forehead trembled a few times and sighed: "I never blamed you, I just felt unwilling."

At the same time, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Besides, even if I hadn't been transferred, you probably wouldn't marry me."

It was obvious that she had already guessed Jiang Wanwan's plan and purpose, so she was not surprised to find out that Jiang Wanwan was married when she came back, and she had never even gone to look for her.

Jiang Wanwan was drunk and didn't want to bother making excuses. She was about to say: So what.

Suddenly, an autumn breeze blew past, clearing her dizzy head a little. Her autumn eyes flickered slightly, and she bowed slightly to Zhang Dan, "I am sorry, General."

After all, he didn't want to have an argument with Zhang Dan. If the dispute got out of hand, Jiang Wanwan would be the one who would be affected.

"You don't have to be like this. I just want to talk to you." Zhang Dan had already moved slightly to the side when Jiang Wanwan bowed slightly, with a look of loss on his handsome and rugged face.

But Jiang Wanwan didn't want to get too entangled with Zhang Dan. After all, Situ Rui was troublesome enough.

"I have been away for long enough. If I don't go back, my husband will be worried. So I won't chat with you, General."

Just as Jiang Wanwan was about to turn around and leave with Qiuyu, the pleasant sound of "Ding Dong" suddenly rang in her ears, just like the first time they met under the tree in Hanshui Temple.

Jiang Wanwan couldn't help but pause, but still didn't look back.

Zhang Dan, who was left alone there, did not look up at the big tree on the other side of the wall until he could no longer see the graceful figure.

I saw a bronze bell hanging on the branch, which was rustling in the wind.

That was the bell he brought into the palace.

After seeing the master and servant leave the table, he jumped into the yard and hung himself.

Just then the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and the moonlight shone right onto that tough and handsome face, reflecting his slightly gloomy expression.

Zhang Dan pressed the back of his teeth together and squeezed out a few words.

“No rush…”

As soon as Jiang Wanwan returned to her seat, a familiar gaze fell on her aggressively.

When she looked up, she saw Situ Ruijun sitting opposite her, looking at her with a smile on his face.

The candlelight in the hall shone on the mole on his eyelid, making his entire face look even more beautiful, and with his lips curled up and slightly smiling, he had a kind of sinister and charming feeling.

As expected, there were many people, regardless of gender, who were mesmerized and had a faint admiration for the man.

Situ Rui leaned on his hand and lazily raised his eyelids, staring at Jiang Wanwan with a hidden look.

He waited for Prince Yong'an to arrive later, and when he entered the banquet, Jiang Wanwan's seat next to Sheng Hongyi was empty.

After asking around a bit, he found out that Jiang Wanwan had gone out to sober up. Just as Situ Rui was about to put down his wine glass and go meet her, Jiang Wanwan came back supported by a maid.

With her around, no one else is worthy of the attention of him, the Prince of Yong'an.

Those noble ladies were disappointed when they saw that Situ Rui didn't pay any attention to them.

The banquet was already halfway through, and many officials had almost finished drinking. Even the women began to sit in their seats with boredom.

He just kept his eyes on Situ Rui and Sheng Hongyi to pass the time.

The empress, who was sitting at the top, naturally took in everyone's expressions, so she put down her wine glass and smiled at Emperor Li Min beside her: "I think everyone is tired of watching the usual singing and dancing, so why not let the beauty perform a dance, what do you think, Your Majesty?"

Emperor Li Min nodded to the Queen's suggestion, "Okay, then let her dance."

Because there had been no children in the harem for many years, the concubines were relatively harmonious with each other.

Li Meiren is the new favorite, so naturally she wants more opportunities to perform.

Her green skirt swayed gently, and her sleeves danced as she jumped. Her posture was outstanding, and from time to time she glanced up at the Emperor Li Minfei, looking charming and beautiful.

"it is good."

Jiang Wanwan also clapped along with the others and sighed inwardly, this beautiful lady looked much younger than her.

Although the emperor Li Min above has a dignified face and is a handsome man when he was young, he now has wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and his face seems to have become slightly fatter due to the years. He is old enough to be the father of the beautiful lady Li.

But Lady Li had to take the trouble to dance in order to win a smile from Emperor Li Min, which really showed how power moved people.

Thinking that she could actually marry Sheng Hongyi, who was a few years younger than her, for the second time, her current situation seemed worth it.

The only invisible conscience in my heart couldn't help but emerge a little.

She should be a little nicer to Sheng Hongyi.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wanwan turned sideways with a soft smile, "Husband."

The sound was not loud, but as soft as drizzle, and it brushed across Sheng Hongyi's heartstrings like a feather.

The hairpins in her hair swayed slightly as Jiang Wanwan tilted her head, making the beauty even more charming and beautiful under the candlelight.

Seeing Jiang Wanwan's sincere and gentle smile for the first time, Sheng Hongyi couldn't help but feel flattered.

The already gentle and warm smile deepened, and he called out in unison: "Madam."

Sheng Hongyi stroked Jiang Wanwan's hand on her leg, feeling a little happy. Although he didn't know what had happened, it was a good thing for him.

The flirting between the two made Situ Rui, who was sitting opposite them, feel annoyed.

He tilted his head back to drink the wine in the glass, threw it on the table, and wiped it casually with his sleeve, and the glass rolled across the table and fell to the ground.

Fortunately, the sounds of singing and dancing masked the sound of the cup breaking when it fell to the ground, and no one noticed.

She lowered her eyes slightly, her eyelashes covering the jealousy in them. When she looked at the couple opposite again, her expression was gloomy.

Zhang Dan, who had been drinking with the generals around him, also noticed the interaction between Jiang Wanwan and Sheng Hongyi. His eyes, which had been a little drunk, instantly became clear.

The hand holding the wine glass couldn't help but exert force, and by the time he reacted, the wine glass in his hand had broken into pieces with a "bang" and scattered on the table.

At the same time, the palm of the hand had been cut by tiny fragments, leaving traces of red blood.

Blood flowed down his fingers and dripped onto the table, mixing with the broken pieces of the cup.

The generals around were all shocked and looked at Zhang Dan nervously. Some asked him if he was injured, while others didn't know what had happened.

Looking down, he found a stinging pain in his palm. Looking at the cut palm, Zhang Dan's expression did not change at all. Compared with the battles outside, this little injury was nothing.

He waved to the generals around him to indicate that everything was fine, then took the cloth handed to him by the maid and wrapped his palms.

Zhang Dan then looked towards the seat opposite again, only to find that the graceful figure didn't even glance over here.

His brows furrowed, and his already bad mood became even more upset.

The angular jawline is tight, and the tough face looks even more rugged and sharp.

This kind of low pressure made the generals who were originally laughing and drinking around them quiet down slightly, wondering in their hearts why this Yama Luo of the army suddenly changed his face.

After the banquet, all the ministers left with their families.

When Sheng Hongyi and Jiang Wanwan followed the crowd to the palace gate, they were stopped by a eunuch who said that the emperor wanted to see them.

The two looked at each other and followed the eunuch to the imperial study.

Entering the hall, Emperor Li Min was standing in front of a table admiring a scroll painting.

"Your Majesty, your servant has seen me." / "Your Majesty, your servant has seen me."

The emperor turned around and saw the couple coming in. He waved his sleeves to send the eunuchs and maids away, then walked towards them. His face was still majestic but also a little friendly.

Patting Sheng Hongyi on the shoulder, he smiled and said, "Hongyi, you and Jiang have been married for more than a month, right? I heard that you two have a very good relationship, but why haven't you made any progress yet?"

Sheng Hongyi had not expected that Li Min had called him here to discuss these things. He always wore a gentle mask and said with embarrassment, "I am sorry to have made my uncle worried. The matter of having an heir is a matter of fate and cannot be rushed."

Emperor Li Min nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, you have been married for too short a time. Young people should not be in a hurry."

He said, chuckling meaningfully at his nephew.

Afterwards, Emperor Li Min looked at Jiang Wanwan who had been keeping her head down, and said, "We are all family, there is no need to be so reserved. Since you are Hongyi's wife, you are my niece-in-law. In the future, when there are no outsiders around, you don't need to call me Your Majesty. It seems too unfamiliar."

Jiang Wanwan raised her head in surprise and looked at Emperor Li Min with a gleam in her eyes.

She said softly, "Thank you, Your Majesty... No, thank you, Uncle."

Although I don't know why Li Min said that, the king is the king and the minister is the minister. Sheng Hongyi called Li Min uncle because they have the same blood.

Jiang Wanwan is different, she is just an outsider.

But Li Min is in a good mood now. Since Jiang Wanwan asked her to call him uncle, she naturally would not spoil his mood.

The emperor smiled and nodded, seeming very satisfied.

He chatted with Sheng Hongyi about the eldest princess's recent situation, and just sighed when he learned that she had been staying indoors.

He asked about Sheng Hongyi's recent official duties and expressed his affirmation to him.

When she left, she rewarded Jiang Wanwan with many good things, and even the queen sent people to deliver some silks and jewelry that were not available outside the palace.

After the eunuch who saw off Sheng Hongyi and Jiang Wanwan came back, he returned to Li Min's side.

Emperor Li Min was reading the letter from outside the palace and sighed softly, "My nephew used to be like a puppet. He seemed warm and approachable, but he was actually very cold. Now that he married Jiang, he has gained some popularity and is not as bad as my sister said."

…………

There was no light in the room, only moonlight shining through the window onto the bed.

The bed curtains moved slightly, revealing red marks on the exposed arms and a spring glow on the jade-like skin.

Jiang Wanwan pushed the man who was pressing on her, and said in a voice with a hint of anger, "You are so bold that you dare to come to Sheng Mansion..."

The veins on Situ Rui's neck bulged due to congestion, and his arms around Jiang Wanwan's waist tightened.

"Don't worry, Sheng Hongyi is busy with official duties and has no time to come to your courtyard. As for the guards he sent to protect you in secret, they have long been transferred away."

Jiang Wanwan's expression finally relaxed. She thought that if Situ Rui dared to come, he must be confident.

But thinking that he dared to come here without notifying anyone, she couldn't help but snort, "You are quite capable."

Situ Rui chuckled and leaned over to kiss Jiang Wanwan on the side of her face, saying in a doting and soothing tone, "Don't worry, he won't find out."

After hearing the man's promise, Jiang Wanwan finally let it go, but she still warned him, "Don't do it again next time."

"Okay," Situ Rui replied.

"You left the table today to meet Zhang Dan."

Situ Ruixu lay on Jiang Wanwan, hooking his fingers around the hair that was sticking to her cheek, his voice filled with obvious jealousy.

"Well, I ran into him when I was sobering up and we talked for a while."

Jiang Wanwan did not hide anything and did not feel guilty. She did not think there was anything to be deceived about.

But Situ Rui acted like a concubine who found out her husband had another mistress outside. Her brows were dark and gloomy, and she was jealous: "Really? I have to say a few more words when my old lover comes back."

Jiang Wanwan, who was lying on the brocade quilt, didn't take it seriously. Her voice was soft, hoarse and nonchalant. "It's just that we happened to meet. Even if we don't keep in touch much in the future, it's not good to harbor resentment."

"Alright, you can go now. Don't get caught. And don't come to the mansion next time. If you are caught by the people of General Sheng and the Princess, you will be in trouble."

The disdain and threat are clearly visible.

Situ Rui naturally understood the meaning of Jiang Wanwan's words, and his face instantly became gloomy.

He clenched his teeth tightly, and a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

Situ Rui could no longer remember how many disappointments and losses he had experienced. It was as if his heart was being held in Jiang Wanwan's hands and being rubbed flat.

Everything depends on Jiang Wanwan's mood, whether it is joy, sadness, anger or hatred.

He, the prince of Yong'an, had fallen to the point of being a prostitute who came to recommend himself, but every time Jiang Wanwan would hurt him with warnings.

Situ Rui tried to control his emotions, but his body still trembled uncontrollably.

He knew from the beginning that Jiang Wanwan didn't like him.

No matter how much Stuart Rui didn't want to admit it, he couldn't change this fact no matter how hard he tried.

But when he thought about the fact that Jiang Wanwan didn't like anyone, he even began to feel lucky.

Accept it calmly. Jiang Wanwan doesn't love anyone but herself.

Although I knew it clearly, my eyes still couldn't help but tear up.
