The queen is crazy and spoiled, and the tyrant bows to her

Seeing Lu Jinan's resolute attitude, the minister knew that there was no room for negotiation and could only sigh helplessly, "Forget it, it's rare for Lu Zhuangyuan to be so loyal and righteous.

"It's a pity that my daughter is unlucky and has no chance to become the number one scholar."

Lu Jinan bowed again: "Thank you for your understanding, sir. I am ashamed."

After that, he turned and left.

Jiang Wantang watched his back as he left, her eyes cold as ice with a hint of sarcasm.

Already have a beautiful and virtuous wife at home?

This is the only person who has no second thoughts?

That sounds really affectionate...

What about Yun Shang, who was forced to end up in a brothel by them?

Thinking of this, she looked at Yun Shang beside her.

The latter looked relatively calm, his face uncontrollably pale.

Although she tried her best to appear calm, Jiang Wantang still noticed that her hands were shaking under her sleeves.

Jiang Wantang said nothing, pretending to know nothing. She took Yun Shang's cold little hand and walked towards the banquet hall.

Yun Shang lowered her eyes and looked at the warm hand that was tightly holding hers. A warm current surged in her heart and tears flashed in her eyes.

She quickly calmed down and returned to her usual indifferent attitude.

When Jiang Wantang entered the palace, he deliberately walked through the main gate.

She was dressed very simply today, much simpler than Yun Shang who was standing next to her.

She was extremely beautiful, wearing a plain wide-sleeved chiffon dress and a little makeup, without a trace of worldly dust. When she stepped into the magnificent hall, one would almost think she was a fairy from the moon who had come down to earth.

Even the first-class female official next to her, Yun Shang, who was dressed in the attire of a senior official, was equally beautiful and could not be ignored.

One is a very aggressive beauty, which makes people stunning and astonished, like a fairy and a demon, like a Lycoris radiata in full bloom, charming and deadly.

One is gentle, gentle and beautiful, like a small white flower that is tempting to pick.

They have completely different aesthetics, but there is no sense of incongruity when standing together.

The eyes of everyone present were attracted by the most favored and stunningly beautiful imperial concubine in the harem.

However, her eyes were cold and arrogant. Wherever she looked, everyone lowered their heads involuntarily, for fear of offending the dignity of this favorite concubine.

Lu Jinan's eyes were always indifferent at the banquet. When he saw Yun Shang beside her, his pupils suddenly trembled and he stood up suddenly. The other second-class members beside him saw him and hurriedly pulled him down, saying in surprise: "Are you crazy? Sit down! That's the most favored imperial concubine in the world!"

"If you offend her, you will be beheaded!"

"That's right, sit down!"

Lu Jinan was brought back to his senses by the two men and sat back in his seat.

He clenched his fists, trembling slightly, and stared at the graceful figure in his memory without blinking.

Xie Zhiyan, who was sitting not far away, obviously noticed the movement here.

He looked at Lu Jinan's abnormal behavior, followed his gaze, narrowed his eyes slightly, and a dangerous look flashed across his face.

On the high platform, Ji Wuyuan looked deeply at Jiang Wantang who was walking towards him. The latter was about to bow when he helped her up.

Ji Wuyuan's eyes were full of tenderness, and he teased her gently, "Tang'er, why are you dressed so plainly today?"

"If you don't know, you might think I'm being treated poorly."

Jiang Wantang didn't say anything and sat down next to Ji Wuyuan.

Ji Wuyuan gently squeezed her hand, stroking her wrist with his fingertips, his movements very light: "What's wrong? Why do you look so unhappy?"

Jiang Wantang pulled her hand away from his grasp and, rarely showing her temper, said unreasonably, "Your Majesty, do you have to control what I wear?"

Ji Wuyuan listened quietly to her unreasonable questioning, and suddenly smiled softly.

Not only was he not angry at her excessive behavior, but he looked at her with amusement: "No matter what, Tang'er can wear whatever she wants."

Jiang Wantang felt like he had punched cotton, which was very boring.

Seeing that she was silent again, Ji Wuyuan smiled and raised his hand to touch her head, then lowered his posture to coax her: "Are you angry?"

"Who is this fool who messed with my little kitty? I'll teach him a lesson for you, ok?"

His good-tempered appearance makes people amazed.

If others heard Ji Wuyuan say these words, they would probably be shocked, but Yun Shang, who was standing beside him, had long been accustomed to it.

Jiang Wantang knew that she was being unreasonable, but seeing Ji Wuyuan coaxing her so patiently, her depressed mood eased a little.

Halfway through the banquet, a palace maid walked up to Yun Shang and whispered something in her ear. Yun Shang said something to Jiang Wantang and followed her out.

After Yun Shang left, Jiang Wantang noticed that Lu Jinan was also missing from the banquet, and her peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly.

Yun Shang had just walked out of the hall when a clear and bright male voice sounded behind her, with a slight tremor.

"Ayun..."

It was such a familiar yet long-lost name, so long-lost that Yun Shang thought she was hallucinating.

She paused, but continued walking forward without stopping.

The man behind her strode forward and grabbed her wrist.

"Ayun, I know it's you."

Lu Jinan held Yun Shang's wrist tightly, fearing that she would disappear if he relaxed.

The latter struggled but couldn't break free.

Lu Jinan's lips were trembling, and he held her wrist a little tighter. He said, "Ayun, I've been looking for you for a long time... I finally found you..."

Yun Shang closed her eyes and didn't look back.

Then she clenched her hands into fists and shook off Lu Jinan's hand with all her might, saying in a cold tone, "I'm not the person you're talking about. Lu Zhuangyuan has recognized the wrong person."

After saying that, he just walked away.

"Yun Shang!"

His eyes were red, and his voice was hoarse and trembling: "You really... don't remember your brother Lu?"

"Now that we meet again, you won't even look back at me?"

Yun Shang paused.

Seeing her stop, Lu Jinan's eyes lit up, and he asked calmly and restrainedly: "Where have you been these years? Are you doing well?"

"In the years since you left, I've been looking for you everywhere..."

"Oh, looking for me?" Yun Shang burst out laughing, her laughter full of sarcasm.

She turned around and saw the familiar person in her memory.

He is still as gentle as jade, a peerless young master, even more magnificent than before, especially now wearing the red robe of the top scholar, he is truly priceless.

She raised her eyes to look at him, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes full of irony. She spoke word by word, "Thanks to you, I'm still alive and well."

"I've seen it, it's still the same old man."

"I have something else to do, so I won't delay Mr. Lu from drinking and chatting happily."

After saying that, Yun Shang turned and left.

Lu Jinan had a gloomy face and quickly chased after Yun Shang. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her hard against a pillar beside him, pressing her wrist down.

He stared at her, his eyes red, and said in a hoarse voice: "Yun Shang, what did I do wrong?"
