On the day of Cao Yanyan's wedding, Ning Ziqing got up early.

Yinxiang helped her dress up, and Huiyi's grandma brought a cloak she had just made for Ning Ziqing to wear.

Ning Ziqing stared at the unfamiliar flower pattern on the cloak and asked curiously: "What kind of flower is this?"

At this time, Jiang Qie walked over with a bowl of medicine and said, "Ashaya, these are Ijiang flowers. They grow toward the sun in every corner of Ijiang and are not afraid of the cold."

Ning Ziqing caressed the unique-shaped aegum flowers and thanked Grandma Huiyi with joy: "Thank you, Grandma Huiyi, I like this cloak very much."

Grandma Huiyi probably understood what she said, and showed a loving smile to help her fasten the belt of her cloak.

After Ning Ziqing tidied up her clothes, Jiang Qie handed over the bowl of medicine.

Ning Ziqing glanced at the thick black concoction in the bowl, and then made an excuse to let the three of them go out first.

Then she picked up the medicine bowl and quickly walked to the window.

Just as she was about to fall out, a wall of flesh suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, and her movements stopped abruptly.

Jiang Quhan stood in front of the window at some point, staring straight at her with a smile on his face: "Pour me one to try!"

Ning Ziqing retracted her hand in embarrassment and complained with a grimace: "Why do you need to drink medicine again? I don't want to drink it!"

Jiang Quhan raised his eyebrows slightly, walked around to the room, took the medicine bowl from her hand, put it to her mouth and forced her to drink it.

Ning Ziqing's face was filled with resistance. She glanced at Jiang Qu's cold and solemn face, and could only frown and finish.

"Both you and Qilang-kun are not good people. They always force me to take medicine every day."

After saying that, she pushed him away aggrievedly and ran outside to kick the flowerpot to vent her anger.

Jiang Quhan reluctantly put down the medicine bowl, called Jiang Qie and Hui Yi's mother and solemnly warned: "After Ning Shizi gets married next month, I will return to Qianye Kingdom. Princess A Zhao's body still needs After a few months of conditioning, you must coax her to take the medicine on time!"

They both responded in unison: "Yes, Your Majesty."

……

After breakfast, Ning Ziqing and Jiang Quhan went to the Song Mansion to attend the wedding banquet.

Because it was a happy event for the Song family, even though Mr. Fu didn't like her, he asked Mrs. Fu to prepare a congratulatory gift for Ning Ziqing to bring to her, which was considered a courtesy between the two families.

When the carriage arrived at Song Mansion, the Song family members came out to greet them.

They saluted respectfully: "Welcome to His Royal Highness King Qian, Princess A Zhao."

Jiang Quhan waved his fan to signal them to excuse themselves, and helped Ning Ziqing get out of the carriage.

The two of them congratulated Song Yu at the door, who was about to pick up the bride, and then followed Mrs. Song into the house.

In order to avoid embarrassment, the Song mother and daughter stayed at the door to help receive the guests.

It was originally the marriage of the concubine of the Song family, and the Song family had not planned to make a big deal about it before.

Now considering that King Qian would be attending and the identity of Princess Ning Ziqing, Mrs. Song decided to make the wedding banquet more grand.

Therefore, there were a lot of guests today, and Mr. Song and the others were very busy.

Even high-ranking dignitaries and wealthy businessmen from Kyoto who had little contact with the Song family came to congratulate him.

Looking at the mountains of congratulatory gifts, Mrs. Song was filled with joy and warmly received the guests one after another.

At this moment, Ning Ziqing was sitting in the front hall obediently listening to Jiang Quhan chatting with Lord Ning, the old lady and other elders.

After listening for a long time, she felt really bored, so she secretly winked at Jiang Quhan.

Jiang Quhan understood her little thoughts, so he had to stop and suggest: "This is my first time attending your wedding banquet in Nanyao Kingdom. I am a little curious. Why don't you let A Zhao take me around?"

Ning Ziqing immediately agreed: "Brother Wang, please."

After Jiang Quhan nodded to Mr. Ning and others, he stood up and left the front hall with Ning Ziqing.

The two of them walked to a verandah, and Ning Ziqing complained endlessly.

"Being a princess is so troublesome. I have to carry it all the time now!"

Jiang Quhan pulled her to sit by the railing and said with a smile: "You can't stand it just as a princess. Then when you become a queen and the mother of a country, you will have to pay more attention to your manners. By then it will be too late for you to complain."

Ning Ziqing's face lit up with joy: "Aren't you going to break up Ah Jue and me?"

Jiang Quhan reluctantly said, "You said that day that you would be unhappy if we forced you to marry someone you didn't like, so I relented."

He gently held Ning Ziqing's temples and sighed silently: "It's just that Su Yanqi hasn't broken off the engagement with you after all. You need to deal with it well and don't damage the face of the two families and make others talk about it."

Ning Ziqing assured him: "Don't worry, Ah Jue and I will properly resolve this matter. Mr. Qilang is the most open-minded. We will ask him to write a letter of divorce to me."

For some reason, Jiang Quhan suddenly felt sorry for Su Yanqi.

He asked seriously: "Have you really never had a crush on Su Yanqi? He is the husband chosen by your mother-in-law herself. You have been childhood sweethearts since childhood. Why don't you like him anymore?"

Ning Ziqing's expression froze for a moment, and then she murmured: "When I was young, I didn't understand love. It wasn't until I met Ah Jue that I understood what the real love between a man and a woman is. So, in the past, maybe I just regarded Qi The husband thinks that he can be entrusted to his husband's family for life, and he is not someone I like."

"Besides..."

Ning Ziqing lowered her head slightly and couldn't help but recall the memory of Su Yanqi abandoning her in her previous life.

She felt sad, and her heart felt like needles pricking her heart.

Everything in the past is still vivid and unforgettable.

She always believed that Su Yanqi in the previous life really didn't like her, so he decisively abandoned her.

This feeling was like a sharp thorn piercing deep into her heart. It was so deep-rooted that it could never be eliminated.

Seeing her sad expression, Jiang Quhan finally stopped asking any more questions.

The two were silent for a moment, and Yinxiang came to report that Huo Yunjue, the others, and Lin Wanqiao had arrived.

Ning Ziqing hurriedly asked Yinxiang to take Lin Wanqiao to the flower hall to meet him.

Jiang Quhan was about to ask Huo Yunjue about the assassin, so he left with Yinxiang.

Huo Yunjue, who had just entered the mansion, looked everywhere for Ning Ziqing, but could not find him for a while.

Instead, many officials came to salute him and say hello.

Su Yanqi and Gu Liaohe stood aside and waited quietly, hearing people passing by whispering from time to time.

"I heard that many officials have asked Your Majesty to terminate the engagement between Qi Langjun and Princess A Zhao in the past few days. Your Majesty has always refused to agree. For this reason, there was a huge quarrel in the court."

"Now Princess A Zhao has a noble status, but Qi Langjun is just a businessman, so he is really not worthy of her."

……

Gu Liaohe couldn't listen anymore and turned around to argue with those people, but was stopped by Su Yanqi.

"Shichiro-kun, did you listen to what they said? How can you bear it?"

Su Yanqi smiled calmly: "Actually, what they said is right. Qingqing has a prominent status now. The Fu family's love for her and the dowry prepared by Mrs. Fu for her are indeed enough to attract everyone's attention."

"Coupled with the support of various forces in Yebei, she has become a key link for trade and the alliance between the two countries. I have no power, so they naturally do not want this huge benefit to fall on me."

Gu Liaohe naturally understood the deeper meaning, but as Su Yanqi's friend, he could not tolerate him being treated unfairly and slandered in this way.

"You think clearly. If it were me, I would have gone to scold them. These pedantic officials who look down on others actually want to ruin other people's marriages. How about I help you vent your anger and put them to death?" A good beating might help you become more honest!"

Jiang Quhan angrily defended Su Yanqi, frightening those who were talking about it and no longer dared to say anything.

Afterwards, the four of them stood aside and chatted about the assassin.

After a while, Ning Zijun also came.

He noticed that Jiang Quhan was wearing a light pink begonia flower patterned robe with wide sleeves and a waist. Not only did it not look tacky, but he also carried an innate sense of nobility and elegance in his movements.

Ning Zijun couldn't help but sigh, how come this person looks good in anything he wears, and he just outshines others.

Jiang Quhan noticed his gaze on her and joked with a smile: "If you look at me like that again, I will mistakenly think you like me."

Ning Zijun choked and mocked him dissatisfiedly: "Dressed like this, I'm not afraid of stealing the groom's limelight."

Jiang Quhan pointed to the surroundings with his folding fan and raised his eyebrows proudly: "I am as beautiful as a tree in the wind, do I still need to grab it? Look for yourselves, how many girls are stealing glances at me."

Huo Yunjue sneered disdainfully: "Smell, you are the second best, no one dares to be the first. How come you, an engaged peacock, are still so arrogant!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Zijun and others couldn't help laughing.

Jiang Quhan's face darkened: "Huo Yunjue, you just like to go against me, right?"

His face dropped and he wanted to argue with Huo Yunjue.

Suddenly, a burst of noise came, attracting everyone's attention.

In the front yard, Li's maid Bi'er was having a heated argument with Gardenia.

"I'm not wrong. You lady deliberately approached Princess A Zhao for the sake of Prince Ning, and that's why you got this marriage. You still refuse to admit what you did!"

Gardenia's face was filled with anger: "You're talking nonsense! Our young lady has absolutely no such thoughts!"

Bi'er sneered and said sarcastically: "No? Then why did your young lady suddenly reject the marriage when she and the second son of the Xu family were about to get engaged? It was clearly because your young lady wanted to climb a high tree, so she pushed the second young master Xu away!"

Gardenia was speechless for a moment, too embarrassed and angry to speak.

She pointed at Bi'er and said tremblingly: "You...you...!"

Seeing that Gardenia was about to cry, Li Tingxuan, the legitimate daughter of the Li family, stepped forward and scolded: "Bier, don't talk nonsense, why don't you apologize to Gardenia!"

Bi'er showed a contemptuous expression towards Gardenia, leaned over casually, and said in an arrogant tone: "I was in a hurry just now, and my words offended my sister. I hope your sister won't take offense!"

Gardenia refused to give up: "It's obvious that you are deliberately looking for trouble, sowing discord here and slandering my lady. I have to tear your mouth apart today!"

After saying that, she rushed over and struggled with Bi'er, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

For a moment, everyone gathered around to watch the fun.

The servants of the Song family clearly saw the two arguing, but they stood aside and did not go over to start a fight.

Seeing this, Xi Chun rushed to the flower hall to report the news. Ning Ziqing and Lin Wanqiao came immediately after hearing the news.

"How unbecoming of you two to make such a fuss here!"

Ning Ziqing shouted loudly, signaling Jiang Fei to separate the two.

Gardenia's hair was disheveled and her eyes were red as she knelt in front of Ning Ziqing: "Princess A Zhao, please seek justice for my young lady! This little bastard talked nonsense in front of so many people and slandered our young lady for seducing Prince Ning!"

Lin Wanqiao's expression changed and she hurriedly stopped Gardenia: "Gardenia, stop talking!"

Hearing Zhixia's words, Ning Ziqing's face suddenly darkened.

She winked, and Jiang Fei kicked Bi'er down.

Ning Ziqing stared at Bi'er coldly and asked, "Which maid are you from?"

Bi'er's eyes became evasive, lowered her head and replied: "This slave is the maid of Li Mansion."

Li Tingxuan saw that Ning Ziqing was angry and immediately stood up to explain: "Princess A Zhao, please calm down. This is my personal maid. I just had a quarrel with Miss Lin's maid. I have already taught her a lesson and told her to do it." Sorry. Who knew this maid would make the first move?"

Gardenia angrily refuted her: "How can she sincerely apologize? I think you are just jealous of our young lady's marriage, so you are deliberately provoking trouble here!"

Not to be outdone, Bi'er argued: "Who is jealous of you? It's obviously our young lady's marriage that was robbed by you! The whole of Kyoto knows that it was our Li family who was negotiating the marriage with Ning Shizi. Who knows what your young lady did? The trick has deceived Prince Ning, do you dare to do it or not?"

"Bier, shut up!"

Li Tingxuan quickly covered Bi'er's mouth.

After hearing these words, everyone started talking.

Lin Wanqiao softened and leaned against Xi Chun.

Although she was prepared to deal with the rumors, she still felt a little at a loss when actually facing such a scene.

Ning Ziqing just wanted to punish Bi'er.

At this moment, a stern voice sounded: "Be presumptuous!"
