At the banquet, everyone could see that the Queen loved the second daughter of the Jiang family. Some smarter ones could guess what the Queen was planning, and of course Su Huanyu could see it too.

He wanted to remind Jiang Zihan, but in such an occasion, he had no chance to stand up and say anything openly. He could only pray silently in his heart.

Jiang Zihan is a clever man, but this cleverness is obviously not enough to deal with these women in the mansions.

She thought that the queen liked her because of her boundless charm. After all, from childhood to adulthood, everyone who came into contact with her, no matter how weird her personality was, disliked her.

So the Queen said, "I have always wanted a daughter, but unfortunately, I have only had one prince in all these years. This is my biggest regret."

Hearing this, Jiang Zihan didn't think twice before taking the Queen's hand and replied, "If your Majesty doesn't mind, then treat me as your daughter. I'd love to have a mother as gentle and virtuous as your Majesty!"

Having said that, she did not forget to praise the Prime Minister's wife, "My mother is dignified and gentle. From now on, I will have two mothers."

When she said the latter sentence, her tone was a little proud, like a naive little girl showing off her good things, but she did not notice the slightly stiff expressions of several nobles around her.

Regardless of whether what the Queen said about wanting Jiang Zihan to be her daughter was true or not, she is the mother of a country. Jiang Zihan did not refuse politely, but she even compared the mother of a country with her own mother. I really don't know whether to praise her for being naive or call her stupid.

After all, the Queen was the one in charge of the Imperial Palace. She didn't react at all to Jiang Zihan's offensive words, but the smile in her eyes faded away.

She followed Jiang Zihan's words and said, "Since you like me so much, then..."

"The Emperor has arrived! The Imperial Master has arrived! The Third Princess of Beisheng has arrived!"

The queen's words were suddenly interrupted by the eunuch's shrill voice, which also attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone who was originally chatting immediately put down what they were holding, stood up, straightened their clothes, and respectfully saluted the three people who walked in through the door.

Jiang Wansang stood beside Zhao Zhizhi and saluted along with everyone else, but her eyes were looking towards the door.

Why are Pei Zhanzhou and Shen Qiuyun here together?

As if sensing her gaze, Pei Zhanzhou, who was following behind the emperor, suddenly turned his head and met Jiang Wansang's gaze accurately.

The next moment, the two people who were looking at each other were suddenly blocked from view.

Shen Qiuyun walked to Pei Zhanzhou's side, looked up at him, then turned to look at Jiang Wansang.

When he met her gaze, Jiang Wansang did not dodge, he even raised his eyebrows and a very small arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

No one noticed the atmosphere between the three of them. After all, not everyone had the courage to look up and around while paying respects to the emperor.

As everyone knelt and kowtowed, the emperor stepped up to the platform, flung open his robes, and sat down. Then he raised his hand to the people below and said, "Everyone, stand up."

"Today is the Queen's birthday, my dear ministers, please don't be too restrained."

Despite the emperor's words, everyone naturally wouldn't really let go, and the atmosphere became noticeably more restrained than before.

The emperor was already used to this, and after saying some polite words, he announced the start of the banquet.

Delicious food was served on the table, and there was singing and dancing. The atmosphere was much better than before.

The Emperor suddenly seemed to remember something and turned to look at the Empress. "When I came here just now, I saw that the Empress seemed to be smiling happily. But what happened to her that was worth celebrating?"

At this mention, the Queen suddenly had an idea and quickly said, "It's the Second Miss of the Jiang family. I just chatted with her for a while, she is quite a unique and lovely person."

As the king of a country, Jiang Gaoyuan is also a right-hand minister in the court. The emperor naturally knew that the Jiang family's daughter was taken away by mistake. He also knew who the second lady of the Jiang family was. He seemed to have seen her at a palace banquet before.

But when the Queen mentioned this at this time, what was in her mind...

It has to be said that suspicion is indeed the nature of every emperor, and he was right about the queen's thoughts.

Without waiting for the emperor to respond, the queen looked directly at Jiang Zihan, who had already retreated to the side, and waved with a smile, "Second Miss Jiang, why don't you come over here and let the emperor take a look."

Hearing the call, Jiang Zihan walked out with confidence, and did not act timidly like those women who met the emperor for the first time.

"Commoner Jiang Zihan pays homage to His Majesty."

She clasped her hands together and bowed to the emperor using the etiquette of the martial arts world. She looked very free and easy in her every move.

Seeing this, Meng Lianshu immediately stepped forward to plead guilty, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Han'er grew up in the martial arts world and doesn't understand the palace rules. I just thought that this kind of etiquette was the greatest respect for the elders."

The emperor obviously knew that the real daughter of the prime minister's family had become a wanderer, but he did not blame her.

He waved his hand and said, "It's okay. Such a straightforward personality is rare in the world."

Jiang Wansang, like everyone else, silently watched this scene from below, with a mocking smile on his face.

On their first official meeting, she was described by the king as "rare in the world", which really shows that she is worthy of being treated as the girl of destiny.

Jiang Wansang moved to the side so that she could have a better view of Jiang Zihan's position.

Wherever the male and female protagonists are present at the same time, there will definitely be some good drama, not to mention that today's banquet also has a lot of plot in the book.

Others might not notice anything about her secretly enjoying the show, but Pei Zhanzhou could see it at a glance.

Didn't she arrange anything for today's banquet? Why did she look so sure that something good would happen?

For a moment, Pei Zhanzhou, who had originally had no interest in this birthday party, also became interested and turned his gaze to Jiang Zihan who was standing below.

Jiang Zihan obviously knew what it meant to be praised by the emperor as "rare in the world". He raised his chin even higher and could not hide the smile on his face.

She even took the initiative to salute the emperor and acknowledged the praise. "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty. I have been traveling the world for many years and have seen all kinds of people, but this is the first time I have seen someone as discerning and majestic as Your Majesty."

The biggest effect of Jiang Zihan's heroine halo is probably that no matter what she says, she looks very sincere.

Because of this sincerity, the emperor was very happy, "Hahaha, it is just as the queen said, this girl is unique."

After being married for so many years, the Queen could clearly feel the Emperor's good mood, and became more determined in her own thoughts.

She said with a smile on her face: "I like this girl very much too. I was just saying that it would be great if she could be my daughter."

The emperor immediately understood the hidden meaning in her words and looked sideways at her.

The queen still had a smile on her face. "I am not blessed to have such a beloved daughter. If I could have a daughter-in-law like this, I would wake up smiling in my dreams."
