Helian Mu brought people to the palace overnight, wanting to see Jiang Xue Ning and ask her to hand over Bingtong.

Jiang Li said expressionlessly, "The princess is not feeling well and is not seeing anyone."

There was no fear in the face of him. The guards behind him drew their swords and were ready to fight.

Since those who besieged the Qingzhou Palace last time were massacred, Helian Mu did not force his way in.

He just said, "Tell her that she can't escape."

In a blink of an eye, news spread that the emperor was going to hold a welcoming banquet for Helian Mu, and he sent a eunuch to inform her that she must go.

On the day of the banquet, Bingtong, who always wore white clothes as white as snow, dressed up seriously. Although she still wore white clothes, her clothes were more complicated. She wore beautiful silver jewelry, which made her white hair look even more beautiful.

Jiang Xue Ning said worriedly, "You don't have to go."

Bing Tong raised her head and said proudly, "I left Beijing in a panic that day and was chased like a stray dog. Now that I'm back, does he think he still has the initiative?"

"Don't you want to see me? I'll let him see enough!"

Jiang Xue Ning chuckled and said, "Since we are going to meet, let's meet in a grand and lively occasion. This will be more interesting."

The two of them got on the carriage and deliberately delayed for a while. They were almost the last to enter the palace, so naturally there were palace maids leading the way.

The two walked side by side, leisurely, and soon they heard the sound of stringed instruments.

The eunuch at the door took one look at her and immediately shouted in a hoarse voice, "The Princess of Qingzhou has arrived!"

The lively Changle Palace suddenly became quiet. Everyone looked towards the door.

This was Jiang Xue Ning's first public appearance since the incident, so it was hard not to attract attention.

She walked in, dressed in gorgeous clothes, looking cool and elegant, not at all like the dying person as rumored.

But in an instant, people's attention was attracted by the woman behind her. She was dressed in white, with white hair, a face as cold as ice and eyes as bright as the stars. The coldness that emanated from her bones perfectly interpreted the three words "Ice Beauty".

Some people gasped in amazement, while others seemed to remember the rumors of the past and looked at Helian Mu secretly.

Helian Mu stared at the woman who was slowly approaching him, then stood up in panic and knocked over the wine glass on the table.

He called out anxiously, "Tongtong!"

Qiao Zhiwan, who was sitting next to her, pinched his palms tightly and managed to avoid losing his composure.

This day has come.

Bingtong just glanced at him coldly, then calmly sat down with Jiang Xuening, just diagonally opposite him.

The sound of stringed instruments was gentle, but the banquet fell into an eerie silence.

Many ladies who had seen Bingtong before recognized her, exchanged glances carefully, and some even couldn't help whispering.

Qiao Zhiwan swallowed the grievance in her heart, poured a glass of wine for Helian Mu, and said with a smile, "I offer a toast to the prince."

Helian Mu was barely pulled back to his senses. Meeting her aggrieved look, he took her wine and took a sip, then sighed, "Sit down."

However, his attention was completely attracted by Bingtong. He was attracted by her cold and untainted appearance.

As time went by, her white clothes looked like snow, becoming more and more cold and attractive. But his heart still beat for her.

"Your Majesty has arrived, and Consort Ming has arrived!"

He greeted her absentmindedly, as if he had lost his soul, and he wished he could fly to Bingtong immediately.

Helian Xuan took in everything and even joked, "I suddenly thought of a poem - when the golden wind and jade dew meet, it is better than countless things in the world."

Everyone present savored the wine carefully. Bingtong drank a glass of wine expressionlessly. She just wanted to kill someone.

Qiao Zhiwan lowered her eyes to hide the tears in her eyes. The killing power of the white moonlight was indeed invincible.

She thought bitterly, they are golden wind and jade dew, then what is she?

Helian Xuan raised his glass to Jiang Xue Ning again, "I am relieved to see that the princess is safe and sound."

Jiang Xue Ning stood up in full view of everyone, raised her head and drank the wine in the glass, and said with a sweet smile, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

Everyone realized belatedly that this was the queen chosen by destiny as predicted by the high priest.

It just so happened that one of them was the former Princess Yu, and the other had a face identical to that of Princess Chen. It seemed as if time had gone backwards in an instant.

Some older ladies vaguely recalled that at the royal banquet of that year, Prince Chen and his wife, and Prince Yu and his wife were basically the most eye-catching ones, and anyone who saw them would think they were a good match.

Princess Chen and Princess Yu were known as the two beauties of the royal family. Their hairstyles, makeup and clothes set the fashion trend in the capital at that time.

Tonight seems like a dream back to the past.

But the princesses are no longer the same princesses as before, and the emperor and the prince already have beauties around them.

The banquet was lively, but everyone at the banquet had different thoughts.

Bingtong drank a lot of wine, and Jiang Xue Ning allowed all kinds of eyes to stare at her. At midnight, the emperor seemed drunk and was helped away by Concubine Ming.

The banquet finally ended. Bingtong stood up and walked out quickly. As expected, at the palace gate, Helian Mu grabbed her and said, "Tongtong, where are you going?"

Bingtong stopped and looked back at him, her eyes so cold that they almost froze him.

Helian Mu held her hand tightly, "Tongtong, come home with me."

It’s as if the hurt had never happened, as if the separation of these years did not exist.

Bing Tong curled her lips and smiled faintly, looking at Qiao Zhiwan who was chasing after her, "I'll go home with you, then what is she?"

Qiao Zhiwan stopped, covered his chest with his hands, his face pale, a layer of mist filled his eyes, and he cried, "Prince..."

Helian Mu said without even turning his head, "Where have you been all these years? I've been looking for you."

"What do you want from me? Come back and join you?"

Helian Mu met her icy eyes and said word by word, "You are my wife, so you must go home with me."

She was the mole on his heart, and he thought he had let it go and forgotten about it long ago.

When they met again, he was completely defeated at first sight.

The person he fell in love with at first sight can still make him fall in love with her at first sight many years later.

I've lost before, so it's impossible to let go.

Bing Tong said with a half-smile, "I am your wife, and she is your princess consort. Who are you going to let perform the concubine ceremony?"

Qiao Zhiwan was already on the verge of collapse. She had not expected that she would lose so completely after just one encounter.

Helian Mu frowned slightly and coaxed in a low voice, "Tongtong, let's talk about it when we get back."

Bing Tong stroked his face with her cold left hand and said in a bewitching voice, "Don't be greedy. You can only choose one between me and her?"

"My Lord, who do you want to choose?"

Qiao Zhiwan said desperately, "Your Majesty, An An is still waiting for us at home. She is most afraid of the dark!"

An An is their only daughter, and Helian Mu has always loved her very much.

Helian Mu thought about his beloved daughter and did not say anything that would embarrass Qiao Zhiwan.

Bing Tong had lost her patience and chuckled, "Is this difficult to choose?"

Then when Helian Mu opened his mouth to try to explain, he was slapped in the face with lightning speed.

The crowd who were watching silently were stunned.

Bing Tong said coldly, "Your belated affection is even cheaper than grass. You are so disgusting!"
