Jiang Wan's eyelids twitched. Thinking of the way the fifth princess targeted her just now, Jiang Wan's eyes fell faintly on Song Jiuyuan's face.
Song Jiuyuan, just wait!
Song Jiuyuan was a little flustered and hurriedly explained.
"Wanwan, she and I have nothing."
Jiang Wan snorted lightly and without looking at him, the corners of Song Jiuyuan's mouth curved.
"Wanwan, just watch. I don't need to take action. Some people are opposed to this marriage."
He said it with certainty. Jiang Wan thought about it carefully and understood what he meant. Sure enough, the dog emperor over there seemed to be hesitant.
"Xiaowu, tell me."
"My son loves Song Jiuyuan."
The fifth princess's shy eyes fell on Song Jiuyuan's face, which seemed to contain infinite affection.
Before the emperor could speak, Concubine Xiao interrupted: "Song Jiuyuan has married his first wife."
"I heard that they reconciled."
The fifth princess looked at Jiang Wan provocatively. To her disappointment, she did not see Jiang Wan panicking.
Could it be that the rumors are wrong and Jiang Wan doesn't like Song Jiuyuan?
"oh?"
The Queen Mother looked at Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan with interest, "Jiuyuan, is this really true?"
"yes."
Song Jiuyuan stood up and bowed slightly. Before he could continue to cultivate, the fifth princess couldn't wait to say:
"Father, look, now that he has reconciled, he is a free man, and it is just right for him to have a son."
Everyone knew that she didn't like Song Jiuyuan that much, but she was just fighting for her brother, the second prince.
Concubine Xiao was naturally worried that they would join forces, so she hurriedly persuaded her: "Your Majesty, Song Jiuyuan and Li Guo, the fifth princess is still the eldest daughter of the Yellow Flower..."
emperor:……
Taking this opportunity, Song Jiuyuan hurriedly leaned over and said:
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen hasn't finished speaking just now, when Wanwan married Wei Chen.
It was Wei Chen who didn't cherish her enough, so Wanwan wanted to test Wei Chen, so she made peace with Wei Chen.
Now Weichen has re-engaged to Wanwan, and Weichen's first wife has always been her. "
These sour words made Jiang Wan feel sweet in her heart.
But the fifth princess refused to accept it, "You are not married yet, so it doesn't count!"
"Fifth Princess, you're too strong to be sweet."
Concubine Xiao exchanged a look with the sixth prince, even if her son had no chance for the time being.
She will also think of ways to cure his son, and if that doesn't work, she will push her future grandson to take over!
"grandmother!"
The fifth princess trotted forward and took the Queen Mother's arm, "But my granddaughter really likes the prince."
She is the Queen Mother's favorite princess and is used to this.
The Queen Mother opened her mouth to say something. She thought of the bottle of Resurrection Pill given by Jiang Wan, so she gently patted the back of the fifth princess's hand and comforted her:
"You are still young, so this matter cannot be rushed. The Ai family and your father will discuss it carefully."
The mother-in-law of the second prince and the fifth princess is the Queen Mother's biological niece. Even though she is no longer here, the most important thing to her is the children born to her niece.
Jiang Wan watched the internal fighting among the royal family with cold eyes. It seemed that Song Jiuyuan was right. Kyoto would not be peaceful for long.
Concubine Xiao quickly said: "Fifth Princess, the Queen Mother loves you the most and will definitely choose a suitable husband for you."
"It's really a mess."
Jiang Wan clicked her tongue, her eyes falling on the row of princes not far away.
The current emperor has a total of four sons and five daughters, and the eldest princess has already married from afar.
The princesses of the appropriate age are the third princess, the fifth princess and the seventh princess. As for the ninth princess, she is not yet ten years old.
The second and sixth princes had a grudge against them, so Jiang Wan focused her eyes on the fourth and eighth princes.
The fourth prince kept smiling warmly. Perhaps he felt Song Jiuyuan and Jiang Wan looking at him, and he even gave them a friendly smile.
"This fourth prince is probably a smiling tiger."
Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan bit their ears quietly. Song Jiuyuan did not deny Jiang Wan's words, but just said:
"Sometimes the more sincere the person smiles, the less likely they are to lower their guard."
This is Song Jiuyuan's evaluation of the fourth prince. Such a person is indeed more suitable to become a superior.
Then Jiang Wan's eyes fell on the face of the eighth prince, who was the youngest prince.
Compared with the second prince who has the support of the Queen Mother, the sixth prince who has the support of Concubine Xiao and the emperor, the fourth prince has a powerful maternal family.
Only the eighth prince was only fourteen years old now. What surprised Jiang Wan even more was that he was wearing a mask.
"What's with the mask on the Eighth Prince's face?"
Jiang Wan looked confused, and Song Jiuyuan answered her question, "The Eighth Prince almost died in a fire when he was young.
Therefore, his appearance is flawed, which is one of the reasons why ministers do not support him. "
"I see."
Jiang Wan tapped her fingertips on the table, lost in thought.
After all, the Queen Mother was old and the Emperor was in poor health, so they didn't stay long before leaving first.
Without the Queen Mother and the Emperor pressing down, everyone felt more relaxed.
On such occasions, the young men and ladies of each family were particularly active.
After all, this is a rare opportunity to see each other.
The queen had to take charge of the overall situation, but Concubine Xiao was not willing to be outdone and added fuel to the fire.
After a while, they arranged several more marriages.
"Isn't this a bit of a mess?"
Jiang Wan twitched her mouth silently, and she realized that they were separated by the two of them.
The Empress and Concubine Xiao fought quietly, and the little girls who were affected almost cried.
"They are just planning for their own family members."
Song Jiuyuan raised the corner of his mouth mockingly, feeling a little bored.
The same was true for Jiang Wan. She suddenly stood up and said, "I'm going to the toilet."
"Slower."
After Song Jiuyuan gave some instructions, Jiang Wan quietly left the Hall of Supreme Harmony with Qiu Yan.
There was a garden next to the Hall of Supreme Harmony. When Jiang Wan passed by, she couldn't help but enter the pavilion.
"Girl, this palace looks like a place for eating people."
Qiu Yan patted her heart. Today was really an eye-opener for her. She was stunned by the words of these people.
"Your description is quite appropriate."
Jiang Wan didn't expect Qiu Yan to see so clearly. She looked at the fish playing in the garden lake and said:
"The women in this palace are like the fish in this water. There is less bait but more fish. Those who survive are those who have the ability."
So even though Jiang Wan was very confident, he would never look down on anyone in the palace.
Qiu Yan nodded in understanding, his eyes falling on the approaching figure not far away.
"Girl, the Queen is here."
"It seems that someone has been waiting for this day for a long time."
Jiang Wan turned around with a smile, the smile in her eyes disappeared, and then she led Qiu Yan in a polite salute.
"The Queen."
The queen came with only one maid. She asked someone to stand outside the pavilion and walked in quickly.
"Wanwan, wake up quickly."
The Empress helped Jiang Wan up weakly, "I've always wanted to find an opportunity to chat with Wanwan alone."
"Qiu Yan, go over there and wait for me first."
Jiang Wan was not stupid, she gave Qiu Yan a look, and Qiu Yan bowed slightly and left the pavilion.
"Your Majesty, speak directly if you have anything to say."
Jiang Wan was sitting in the pavilion with the Queen. The Queen's sudden show of kindness made Jiang Wan particularly curious about her purpose.
