After coming to Dasheng, except for that night, Baili Yufeng never touched her again, and mostly spent his time hanging out in those brothels.

Of course, this was something she arranged on purpose.

Since Baili Yufeng likes beauties, she will cater to his taste and send him more beauties to see if he can still afford them in the future.

As for Baili Yuyan, Nangong Liuli did not expect this at first.

After all, after giving her to Baili Yufeng, he rarely touched her in order to avoid suspicion.

But Nangong Liuli didn't expect that after coming to Dasheng, he would start to focus on her again.

Ever since Baili Yuyan committed adultery in broad daylight and Nangong Liuli suffered a great loss at his hands, she has kept a backup plan just in case.

Thinking of what Baili Yuyan had just said, Nangong Liuli's eyes turned cold again.

She wanted to stay in the capital, but she would never give herself to a wretched old man older than her father in such a humiliating way that would bring shame to the Nangong family.

If this is the case, then what is the point of her forbearance and survival over the years?

She had waited for this day for too long.

Tomorrow's palace banquet will be her best chance.

She, Nangong Liuli, wants to stay in the capital openly and seek revenge.

And those who had bullied him, Baili Yuyan, Baili Yufeng...

She won't let anyone go!

Thinking of this, a fierce look flashed in Nangong Liuli's eyes.

Since she is choosing a man, why should she choose one who is old, ugly and cannot be used by her?

......

At that time, it was late at night and quiet in the palace.

In Changle Palace, Jiang Wantang, wearing a thin dress, stood alone in front of the window, lost in thought.

Until a black cloak was draped over her shoulders, still retaining warmth.

Jiang Wantang looked up and met Ji Wuyuan's deep and concerned eyes.

Ji Wuyuan said nothing, and held her cold little hands in his warm big hands.

Jiang Wantang smiled and said softly, "I'm not cold..."

Ji Wuyuan raised his hands to tie her cloak tightly, and held her in his arms with gentle yet powerful movements. His voice fell softly into her ears: "Tang'er, winter is coming soon, and the wind is cold at night. You haven't recovered yet, so don't let yourself catch a cold again, okay?"

"I only have this one heart, and it's all tied to you."

Jiang Wantang leaned in Ji Wuyuan's warm embrace, her nose filled with his light ambergris and cool scent.

It was a smell that she had become familiar with and accustomed to over the years.

Jiang Wantang suddenly realized that habit was a terrible thing.

Ji Wuyuan is a domineering and strong man at heart.

Especially today, in Xuanzheng Hall, when he was playing against the people of Nanyue Country, his cold arrogance that looked down on the common people, his talent for calculating everything, and his rationality in planning and controlling the situation...

His essence is that of a powerful and terrifying man.

But in front of her, Ji Wuyuan deliberately restrained his edge in order to prevent her from being afraid of him.

He had always been the one to accommodate her, moving towards her step by step...

He respected her, loved her, and protected her, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with it.

Jiang Wantang thought that maybe she could try to take a step towards him.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wantang raised her hands and hugged his waist tightly, saying in a muffled voice, "Okay."

When Ji Wuyuan saw Jiang Wantang hugging him tightly, his eyes moved slightly and he hugged her even tighter.

After a long while, he asked softly, "Tang'er, why aren't you sleeping so late? Is there something on your mind?"

Jiang Wantang shook her head, looked up at him and said, "It's not really a worry, I just can't sleep."

"I don't know why, but when I think of tomorrow's palace banquet, I always feel uneasy."

Ji Wuyuan raised his hand and touched her head, comforting her gently: "Tang'er, don't worry, I'm here, nothing will happen."

Jiang Wantang said stubbornly, "But what if...that person...is you?"

Ji Wuyuan raised his hand and gently scratched the tip of her nose in an intimate manner, then smiled nonchalantly and said, "If it's me, nothing will happen."

"If Tang'er is worried, then stay by my side tomorrow and don't let anyone else take advantage of you, okay?"

"Besides, my Tang'er is so smart..."

Jiang Wantang lowered her eyes and stopped talking.

Ji Wuyuan sighed helplessly, smiled lazily, and said in a low, hoarse voice, "Let's think about tomorrow's affairs tomorrow."

"It's getting late. Tang'er, please go to bed with your husband first, okay?"

Jiang Wantang was not used to hearing the word "husband" for a while.

She leaned in Ji Wuyuan's arms, her face flushed, not knowing whether it was because of shyness or depression.

Afterwards, Ji Wuyuan picked her up and carried her sideways, walking towards the bedroom...

The moonlight shone on them through the window, reflecting two quiet figures hugging each other.

The next day.

When Jiang Wantang woke up, she found Ji Wuyuan still on the couch.

The latter supported his head with one hand and stared at her quietly.

When Ji Wuyuan saw her wake up, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a gentle smile.

Jiang Wantang rubbed his eyes, a hint of doubt in his eyes as he asked, "Your Majesty, why haven't you gone to work today?"

"You little heartless one..." Ji Wuyuan chuckled. He reached out and gently stroked Jiang Wantang's cheek, saying softly, "Didn't Tang'er agree that you would stay by my side today?"

Jiang Wantang blinked, a puzzled look on her face. Did she say that?

Afterwards, Wang Fuhai came over to urge them, and the two of them got up and were helped by the palace servants to wash and dress.

Ji Wuyuan was wearing a black and gold dragon robe, which was embroidered with lifelike golden dragon patterns using gold thread and gems.

Jiang Wantang was wearing a luxurious bright red dress with exquisite patterns embroidered on the hem, which sparkled brightly in the sunlight.

She wore a complete set of gorgeous crabapple flower pearl hairpins and hair accessories on her head, which were exquisite and luxurious.

The two of them standing together seemed like a perfect match made in heaven...

At this time, the banquet hall was already full of people. Baili Yufeng, Baili Yuyan, Nangong Liuli and their group had arrived early.

After the banquet began, Ji Wuyuan and Jiang Wantang sat in the main seats. After some greetings, music started playing and dancers began to dance. The whole hall seemed to be filled with laughter and immersed in a joyful atmosphere, but in fact, there was an undercurrent surging.

At the banquet, An Linhou, who was over fifty years old, had received a message from Baili Yuyan last night. He was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night...
