Come on, Jiaojiao, I'm sick too.

"Master Wen, are you feeling better?"

Wen Yuanzhao didn't expect that someone actually cared about him. This was not like the style of this group of people.

"Thank you, Lord Lin, for your concern. I am much better now."

The crowd who were listening attentively and ready to eat melons saw Wen Yuanzhao's rosy complexion and felt that he did not look sick at all.

Many of the people present looked more haggard than him, so what was wrong with him?

So some people came forward secretly to find out more, and soon a crowd of people gathered around Wen Yuanzhao. Wen Yuanzhao felt the "concern" of his colleagues and couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart.

Humph, not only am I not sick, but I live a very comfortable life every day.

However, looking at this circle of people, a sly glint flashed in his eyes: "Thank you all for your concern. Please come to my house when you are free. I recently got an interesting thing."

Interesting stuff? Did Wen Yuanzhao get some treasure? So he pretended to take leave to study it at home instead of attending court?

It’s no wonder they think so, because Wen Yuanzhao really doesn’t look like he’s been sick now. Instead, he looks like he’s living a very comfortable life.

They were eager to make a move: "Okay, okay, it's been a long time since I had a drink with Master Wen."

Just as they were about to investigate further, the emperor arrived. A sharp voice rang out: "Your Majesty has arrived!"

Everyone returned to their seats and could only suppress their curiosity for the time being.

The Emperor was accompanied by the Queen and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

After not seeing him for a year, Xiao Juncheng had become even more handsome, his facial features more angular, and he looked more mature and steady. He had an unquestionable aura, with a faint resemblance to His Majesty...

Wen Yuqing stared straight at the man who was walking slowly towards her. After not seeing him for a year, he had changed a little. After looking at him for a while, she lowered her eyes.

What's the change? It seems that it is even more unapproachable.

Wen Huai had been paying attention to his sister's every move, so of course he didn't miss her eager look.

It’s been a year, and I still can’t forget him. He is so good.

It's not worth it for her to be so heartbroken when she comes back.

At this time, not only Wen Huai was paying attention to Wen Yuqing, but also Xiao Juncheng who was walking slowly towards her, but he could only see the top of her head that was beautifully combed.

She didn't even look at him. She was really angry.

But this time he showed no expression, as if he had never noticed anything.

After the emperor took the throne, his ministers began to pay their respects, and then the emperor began his passionate speech. Wen Yuqing didn't listen to a word, but just kept looking up.

But this time Xiao Juncheng didn't notice that the girl was looking at him. He was lowering his eyes slightly.

At this time, the emperor said: "The prince has made great contributions to controlling the flood in the south of the Yangtze River. He is rewarded with one hundred taels of gold. In addition, taking advantage of the beautiful scenery tonight, I have decided to arrange a marriage for the prince." After he finished speaking, the whole audience fell silent for a moment.

They all seemed to be shocked by the emperor's words. As for granting a marriage, Your Majesty already has a candidate, right?

Xiao Juncheng, who had been deep in thought, frowned upon hearing this. What was his father doing? Granting him a marriage? How could he not know? And...

At this time, Liu Yuerong, who was sitting next to the Taifu, smiled. The marriage was granted and the position of Crown Princess belonged to her.

There is no one in the world more suitable for this position than her.

Wen Yuqing, who was sitting below, suddenly felt a pang in her heart, and an indescribable feeling surged in her heart.

She clenched her fists slightly, lowered her eyes, and tried hard to hide her inner turmoil.

As she expected, Xiao Juncheng is now successful and famous, and all he needs is to find a beautiful woman. Isn't today's welcoming banquet a good opportunity to find a marriage granted by the emperor?

What should she do now? His Majesty has made a solemn promise. Once the marriage is granted, she will never have another chance. Thinking of this, her eyes were filled with warmth.

Xiao Juncheng didn't dare to look at the girl's reaction in the audience. A trace of indifference flashed in his eyes. He would not agree to any marriage proposal.

At this moment, the Empress was also a little surprised. A marriage? The Emperor hadn't told her about it? She frowned and turned to the Emperor beside her. A marriage secretly granted without her knowledge?!

Besides, what kind of marriage is this? His son has someone he likes, and doesn't she know it? It's just that the time is not right yet!

Therefore, the marriage cannot be granted!

So she whispered, "Your Majesty, why don't you discuss this with me? How do you know whether Cheng'er needs a marriage?"

The emperor frowned. Why didn’t he need it?

And wasn't the Queen also very anxious before? Why now...

Suddenly he paused for a moment, then looked at the queen with a questioning look, so was there anything he didn't know?

But he had already said it, what should he do now? His Majesty the Emperor felt that he was in a difficult situation.

Seeing that he seemed to have figured things out, the queen snorted and laughed, "Let's see how you can find a way out so that your son won't hold a grudge against you."

emperor:"……"

sloppy.

At this moment, Xiao Juncheng's cold voice suddenly rang out in the hall: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward, but I cannot accept the marriage. I already have someone I love, so please revoke your order."

"Wow—"

The hall was instantly in an uproar. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually had someone in his heart. At this moment, the young ladies from official families in the hall were heartbroken.

The queen was also a little excited when she heard this. She didn't expect her son to be so impatient and explode himself. Hahahaha!

She's going to have a daughter-in-law!

This is all thanks to the emperor, so she gave the emperor an admiring look, saying that this was also his credit.

emperor:"……"

He felt like a clown.

This bastard, why didn’t you tell me earlier that you have a partner!

"Well, since the prince has someone he likes, let's forget about the arranged marriage." Fortunately, he didn't reveal the person he had planned to marry, otherwise it would be too late to undo the damage, and with his son's personality, it is very likely that a rift would have arisen between them.

Fortunately, he likes to breathe heavily when speaking, so he has to speak slowly. Well, he tried his best to make excuses for himself, and then cast an aggrieved look at the queen. He didn't know that now he can be considered to have made meritorious service for his crime.

The Queen raised her eyebrows. Fortunately, he is not senile!

"Thank you, father." Xiao Juncheng returned to his seat, then sat down calmly and drank tea.

Now his father probably won't arrange any marriage for him, otherwise he is afraid that she will be angry.

He seemed to inadvertently cast his gaze on the crowd below the stage, and then found that Wen Yuqing had her head buried very low at this moment.

A smile flashed through his heart. Are you embarrassed about this?

He has already stated publicly that he already has someone he likes and will not marry anyone else.

As for Wen Yuqing, she lowered her head not because she was embarrassed, but because she felt more complicated. The emperor had revoked the marriage grant, but she did not feel happy about it, because Xiao Juncheng said that he had someone he liked?

When she heard this, she lowered her head suddenly, feeling a sharp pain in her heart. So, someone else got there first?

What did he experience in Jiangnan this year? Who did he meet?

She never thought that the person Xiao Juncheng was talking about would be herself. She was not so narcissistic, and without any hint, her heartbeat value had not changed in a year.

Wen Yuqing didn't know how the banquet ended or what happened during it. She just numbly drank the wine in front of her, trying to numb herself.

Wen Yuanzhao was busy dealing with others and didn't notice that something was wrong with her. Wen Huai looked at her silently, thinking that this would be a good way to put her mind at ease.

He didn't want his sister to marry into the palace and share a husband with someone else, so, just suffer a little now and forget about it.

Knowing that the wine bottle on their table was empty, Wen Yuqing wanted to drink another bottle, but Wen Huai stopped her and said, "Qing'er, you've drunk too much. Be good and get some sleep. I'll take you home later."

"Big brother..."

"Well, Qing'er, be good." Wen Huai let Wen Yuqing lean on his shoulder.

Wen Yuqing is indeed very well-behaved. Even when she is drunk, she just leans back quietly with her eyes closed, without making any noise or noise.

He just smacked his lips twice and felt a bitter taste in his mouth, so he muttered, "Brother, my mouth is bitter, eat some candy."

Wen Huai had no choice but to ask the palace maid beside him for a piece of candied fruit and put it in her mouth.

Wen Yuqing took it in one gulp and sucked it in her mouth for a while, but she still felt it was very bitter and her heart was bitter.

She curled her lips in grievance. Why was it so bitter? The wine was obviously spicy, but why couldn't it suppress the bitterness?

So she gave up and let herself sink.

Xiao Juncheng did not see Wen Yuqing's current situation because he had left the table earlier. Although he also wanted to reminisce with the girl, he had something important to do now.

Just received a message from Shadow Guard...

But he was still tripped by someone, and he looked at the woman in front of him with a sullen face.

"who!"

That's right, not long after he left the hall, he found a tail following him.

Not far away, a woman paused, then walked out slowly. It was Liu Yuerong.

"Brother Prince, I am Yuerong..." The woman walked out of the darkness.

Xiao Juncheng frowned. He didn't know anyone named Yue Rong.

"What is the crime of following me without permission? Someone come here!" He didn't want to know who she was, nor did he want to understand why she was following him. The only people who could be following him here were none other than the family members brought in by that adult.

But she was interfering with his official duties at this time, so he had to arrest her and punish her.

The shadow guard appeared silently and was about to take the strange woman next to the master away, but at this moment Liu Yuerong quickly revealed her identity: "Brother Crown Prince, I am Liu Yuerong, the daughter of the Grand Tutor. We met when we were young."

Although she felt a little embarrassed that the prince did not recognize her, she was more afraid of being arrested.

"I don't know him. Ying Er took him away."

What does the daughter of the Grand Tutor have to do with him? If you follow him, you will have to pay the price.

Liu Yuerong wanted to say something, but Ying Er covered her mouth and took her away first. Ying Er thought that this woman was so naive that she was still recklessly introducing herself at this time. Did she think that their prince was a person who cared about feelings?

But since she was the daughter of the Grand Tutor, he should be gentle and throw her out of the palace instead of putting her in jail. This would save them from causing trouble for His Highness.

Xiao Juncheng went to handle official business with a serious face. When he came back, the banquet was over. However, he seemed to dislike this lively scene. He just felt a little sorry that he could not look at the girl again.

Just as he was about to leave the hall and return to his bedroom, the eunuch told him that his father and mother were waiting for him in Fengqi Palace.

Xiao Juncheng frowned, he knew why they were looking for him.

Forget it, let’s make it clear all at once, so he strode towards Fengqi Palace.

In Fengqi Palace, the Queen Mother couldn't hold back her gossipy heart and kept walking around. Why hasn't this child come back yet? Is he deliberately avoiding her?

"Shushu, stop shaking and be patient." He was dizzy from the shaking.

The Queen stopped and gave him a cold look, and he still had the nerve to say that!

"Oh, who told you to grant the marriage on your own initiative?" The Queen said with a cold face.

Emperor: "...You think Cheng'er is refusing to get married."

Just when the emperor wanted to explain further, Xiao Juncheng came in: "Father, Queen Mother."

The Queen's eyes lit up the moment she saw him coming, and then she pulled Xiao Juncheng to sit down and said earnestly, "Cheng'er, which girl do you like? Now that you've admitted it, don't hide it!"

Otherwise she wouldn't forgive him. What's the difference between this and leaving others in suspense by saying only half of what they want to say?

"Yes, Jun Cheng, look at you, you never tell us anything. How do I know that you have someone you like?"

And the queen didn’t tell him even though she knew about it!

Xiao Juncheng glanced at the two of them, then said, "No matter who she is, I will marry her."

Therefore, opposition was futile, and they had no reason to object. After all, Wen Yuanzhao was no longer Xiao Zhuo's lackey.

The Wen family didn't make any big mistakes.

"Cheng'er, didn't the Queen Mother say that she couldn't let you marry?" So why should she be on guard against them? She didn't understand.

"Yes, Jun Cheng, your mother and I will support you in your marriage." After all, their family has the throne to inherit and does not need the woman's support.

They are the best.

"Okay, the person I want to marry is Wen Yuqing, the daughter of the Wen family." Xiao Juncheng said word by word.

"Oh, okay, a girl from the Wen family, you can..."

"???"

Halfway through agreeing, the Emperor's voice became increasingly faint, and then he and the Empress looked at each other in confusion. Who?

A daughter of the Wen family? Which Wen family?

"The Wen family has a daughter? No, which Wen family?" the couple said in unison?

Could it be the Wen family he was thinking of? Prime Minister?

"That's right, it's the Wen family in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the daughter of Wen Yuanzhao, Wen Yuqing, the one I love, I want to marry..."

"Wait a minute, Jun Cheng, wait a moment." His Majesty the Emperor interrupted.

"When did you meet the Prime Minister's daughter?"

"A long time ago."

"But..." The emperor wanted to ask, wasn't the prime minister a member of the second son's party? How could he be involved with the prime minister's daughter?

Xiao Juncheng continued, "She is her, Wen Yuanzhao is Wen Yuanzhao, and Wen Yuanzhao has resigned from his post, so the one I want to marry is Wen Yuqing, the younger sister of Wen Huai, the author."

Emperor and Empress: (′⊙w⊙`)

Suddenly I felt that their son was not so innocent. He actually played such a big and exciting game. He was the daughter of a hostile force and had such a heavy taste.
