Marry my elder sister? Fine! I'll give you the letter of annulment and marry someone else.

As the team in the distance approached, the people who had been waiting under the city wall became excited.

The children shouted in unison: "Great hero! Great hero!"

Amidst the deafening roar, Xin Wanyun dismounted from his horse and saluted demurely, "Your Majesty!"

Behind him, countless soldiers who had followed him back shouted in unison: "Lady Empress."

Song Zhilue looked up and saw Xie Ting whispering to Meng Qi behind Xin Wanyun, "This 'Empress' is giving me goosebumps. I still feel better when she calls me 'Boss'."

Meng Qi coughed dryly, "The boss is watching you."

Xie Ting immediately straightened his back and looked righteous, as if he had just said nothing.

Song Zhi laughed and gently hugged Xin Wanyun, "Aunt Xin, welcome back."

She had already made arrangements to welcome everyone, so for the first time since her rebirth, she had a good and peaceful New Year.

Because this was also the first year after the establishment of the Phoenix Kingdom, Song Zhi also invited all the civil and military officials in Lecheng.

Knowing that all these people would be present, Xie Yinyin dressed up with Aluan overnight and then appeared at the banquet.

Her face is as beautiful as Shunhua, and she wears a jade pendant.

At that moment, many people noticed this stunning new face.

She is tall, neither slender nor weak, and exudes a very energetic beauty.

Xie Ting put down the chicken drumstick in his hand with his eyes shining, "Boss, who is this girl? Why have I never seen her before?"

Song Zhi had seen Aluan dressed as a woman several times, although not as formal as this one, but he still recognized her at a glance.

She subconsciously looked at Song Chenfeng, but saw a mixture of emotions flashing across Song Chenfeng's face.

Surprise, astonishment, regret, sorrow, entanglement, and that subtle hint of possessiveness.

Song Zhi was so scared that he silently took a step forward, blocking Song Chenfeng's sight.

Xie Yinyin looked at the many people's attention drawn to her with pride and said, "This is my daughter, A-luan. Many of you here should recognize her. She will be coming of age next year, but she's usually too shy to dress up. Today, I'm bringing her out to see the world."

The words were just to the point, but everyone present was smart and they could tell that he wanted to find a husband for his daughter.

The men of marriageable age or relatives with men of marriageable age present immediately showed enthusiastic looks. This was a very good opportunity to become a royal relative!

After all, the Empress had already said that she had no plans to select a concubine for the time being. At that time, Mu Nanqi was behind her, polishing his sword sinisterly, and added, "Not for the time being, but I will never have such plans in this lifetime."

They were so frightened that no one dared to persuade Song Zhi to have many children in the three palaces and six courtyards.

As for Song Chenfeng, it was Song Yang who came out to spread the word, saying that if he dared to betray Cuihua in the future, he would break his legs.

Well, all the legs.

So now, Alua is the only one left who is popular.

The men immediately began to recommend themselves. Some wanted to recite poems and write couplets, while others wanted to compete in martial arts. The scene was very lively.

But in this bustling scene, Song Zhi's area has become a world of its own.

Xie Ting's jaw nearly dropped to the ground. "She's A-Luan?! The A-Luan who swings the hammer! Why didn't I see that at all?"

The main reason is that the temperament is too different. Could this be the legendary quiet as a virgin and swift as a rabbit?

Meng Qi was also amazed, "No, this girl looks like a lady from a wealthy family."

A-luan swung the hammer and went in and out of the enemy camp. This skill really didn't seem like something a lady from a noble family could do.

Only Song Chenfeng said nothing and even clenched his fists silently.

Xie Ting noticed something was wrong with him and couldn't help but sneer, "Why, you're not willing to let your sister be coveted by so many young talents, are you? Oh, relax."

He put his shoulder on Song Chenfeng's shoulder and said: "My daughter will get married sooner or later. As her brother, you should be more open-minded and support her in the future."

He was talking to himself, but he didn't notice that Song Chenfeng's eyes darkened even more, until Cuihua beside him asked with concern: "Song Lang, why do you look so bad? Did you catch a cold?"

Song Chenfeng suddenly came back to his senses, lowered his head to meet Cuihua's gaze, lowered his head like a guilty thief, and said vaguely: "Yes, it's a bit cold, I'll go put on more clothes."

After saying that, he stood up and left without waiting for Cuihua to answer.

His mind was in a mess right now, and all he could think of was A-luan getting married.

Is she going to marry those guys who surround her? How can those guys be worthy of A-Luan!

He was inexplicably burning with jealousy, but he didn't know how to vent it. He didn't even have the right to be jealous.

When a man was walking aimlessly in the palace, he suddenly saw a familiar figure standing on the city wall in front of him.

She stood there with bright eyes, facing the wind, and the breeze ruffled her hair, adding a touch of softness to her.

It was A-Luan who hid away because she felt it was too embarrassing.

Song Chenfeng's heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help but walk over quickly.

"Aluan~"

His voice sounded a little hoarse.

A Luan turned around and saw the depressed Song Chenfeng.

After a moment of silence, she finally called out, "Brother."

The sadness in Song Chenfeng's heart was magnified again, "Can you please stop calling me brother?"

Ah Luan understood his sadness, but also felt a little confused. However, she simply said, "But we are brother and sister, aren't we?"

Alua's voice was clear and contained a smile.

Perhaps because he had drunk a little, Song Chenfeng's emotions were a little out of control. "You know very well that I don't want to..."

"enough!"

Song Chenfeng had just begun to speak when A Luan suddenly stopped him, "There are some things you didn't say at the beginning, so don't say them now."

The overall situation has been determined and it is inappropriate.

She didn't want to hear it anymore.

"You know what I want to say?" His voice was filled with uncertainty.

Ah Luan admitted directly, "Yes."

"Now that you know, why...why..."

Song Chenfeng was a little bit speechless, so A Luan helped him to say, "Why don't you bring it up?"

"Because I don't like cowards."

A man who has to wait for a woman to bring up the word "delight" is not the one she wants.

What's more, "I gave you a choice."

There were countless opportunities for him to speak clearly and make a choice.

But he chose Cuihua, didn't he?

Now Cuihua is hurt for him, and those thoughts that once disappeared with the wind will never see the light of day again.

After saying this, A Luan turned around and left, not wanting to be alone with him as a man and a woman.

Only Song Chenfeng was still mumbling nervously, "Give me a choice, give me a choice, give it, give it!"

He turned around and grabbed A Luan's sleeve, "Do you mean that you have also..."

"It's all over, brother!"

A Luan pushed him away, leaving behind only a determined back.

Song Chenfeng stood there in a daze, and suddenly, tears fell like rain.
