Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Chapter 66: Scheming against Jiang Qingwu at the Engagement Banquet

Jiang Ruhai's voice was like thunder in the ears.

Jiang Qingwu's head buzzed and he suddenly pushed Yan Xiuchen away.

Yan Xiuchen was caught off guard, stumbled and fell out.

"Ah...I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Jiang Qingwu shouted subconsciously, and his voice was immediately suppressed.

"...Nothing." Yan Xiuchen cleared his throat and sat down.

"My father...it's over, what should I do..." Jiang Qingwu was panicked for a moment, and a very soft but anxious voice came out of his mouth.

Yan Xiuchen looked at Jiang Qingwu who was at a loss and pulled him back.

Yan Xiuchen's face suddenly appeared in front of him, and Jiang Qingwu calmed down instantly.

"Shh..." Yan Xiuchen gestured to Jiang Qingwu and shouted calmly.

"Marquis Shunqing, what's the matter?" Yan Xiuchen shouted calmly.

"My little girl, are you in the carriage?"

Yan Xiuchen raised his eyes to look at Jiang Qingwu, and seeing that Jiang Qingwu looked like he had lost all hope in life, he curled his lips into a smile.

"Yes, I have something to discuss with her, so I will let her go back."

Having said that, Yan Xiuchen suddenly kissed Jiang Qingwu's lips in front of him again.

Still coming? You are born in the year of the dog, why do you keep talking?

Even if you are the regent, the person outside is my father. Are you so presumptuous?

Jiang Qingwu was secretly complaining in his heart, and this scene happened to be seen by Jiang Ruhai who was outside the carriage.

Although it was only a moment when the curtains fluttered, I still took a close look at it.

"Daddy..." Jiang Ruhai came back to his senses only when Jiang Qingwu had already arrived in front of him.

Jiang Qingwu thought he had concealed it well, but when he saw Jiang Ruhai's face was gloomy, like a dark cloud, he was instantly frightened.

"Daddy, you...why did you come out?"

Jiang Ruhai ignored Jiang Qingwu and walked closer to the carriage, "Your Highness, if everything is fine, I and my daughter will return home first."

"Okay." Yan Xiuchen agreed in a low voice, feeling a little uneasy.

"Daddy, don't pull me, it hurts, ah..."

"Come on, come back with me."

Hearing the shouting, Yan Xiuchen couldn't help but lift the curtain to look.

Jiang Qingwu was dragged away by Jiang Ruhai while looking back every few steps.

At that moment, he suddenly felt a little panicked.

He always believed that because of his power, the Jiang family would not oppose this marriage even if they were forced to do so.

But he never thought about what he would do if Jiang Ruhai swore to death to oppose his daughter marrying him.

Yan Xiuchen maintained this action for a long time, staring blankly at the disappearing Jiang Qingwu and the closed back door.

It wasn't until Jiuhan noticed something and spoke carefully that he brought his thoughts back to reality.

"Don't worry, godfather. Tomorrow is the engagement banquet. Nothing will go wrong."

Yan Xiuchen didn't say anything else. He secretly clenched the golden bronze fan in his hand, with a look of uneasiness and nervousness on his face.

The next day, in the palace.

The grand engagement banquet became the biggest and most important event in the palace.

The engagement banquet was held in Baifeng Palace, which was close to the largest water lake in the palace and the scenery was really beautiful.

All around, there were red lanterns and wedding curtains, and the lake was sparkling.

The palace maids and eunuchs coming and going, with red silk wrapped around their waists, were busy in various places.

Many ministers have already arrived in the main hall and taken their seats.

The scene was even grander than any previous palace banquet.

The water garden behind the Baifeng Palace was also given to Jiang Qingwu for a rest.

Servants came and went, but Jiang Qingwu upstairs was very comfortable and relaxed.

"Girl...what are you doing leaning against the window?"

When Wanyue came in with the wedding fan, Jiang Qingwu was lying by the window facing the lake view.

She was wearing a red phoenix robe and a golden hair crown. Although they were very exquisite, they were not grand.

She had chosen them all herself, so that she could move easily and avoid criticism.

"This is really beautiful... I've never looked closely at it before."

Jiang Qingwu thought about her previous life. She was either busy with trivial party struggles or busy with border wars.

Even though I could enter and leave the palace freely, I never had any interest in coming here.

"The young lady has been here before, how could I not know it?" Wan Yue said as she stuffed the wedding fan into her hands.

"Take this fan. You can fan it even if you don't need it, but you can't just throw it away."

Jiang Qingwu looked at the really exquisite fan in his hand and fanned it gently.

This is her third engagement banquet.

It doesn't matter where you go, what you wear, or what you take.

What matters is who you are engaged to.

The important thing is that nothing goes wrong today.

Jiang Qingwu was thinking about something when suddenly a familiar voice came from outside the door.

"Miss, my subordinate Xiao Anzi..."

One of Yan Xiuchen's four personal guards.

Hearing the voice, Jiang Qingwu couldn't help but come over from the window, "Come in, what's the matter?"

"Miss, His Highness said that according to the rules, you have to go to the Empress in the Central Palace to pay your respects."

Jiang Qingwu was startled at first, then nodded, "Okay, I understand, I'll go right away."

Seeing Xiao Anzi leaving, Wanyue moved closer to Jiang Qingwu.

"Miss, do you still need to pay your respects to the Queen?"

"After all, the queen is the master of the six palaces. Even though she has given the power to Concubine Shen a long time ago, she is still the queen."

"Yan Xiuchen must be right to let me go."

Jiang Qingwu fixed her makeup in front of the mirror, then gestured to Wanyue, "Let's go."

I don’t know if it was the work of Concubine Shen.

A few years ago, the emperor stripped the queen of her power over the six palaces because her second prince made a mistake.

After that, the queen almost never went out and stayed in Yuhe Palace all year round.

It was also from that time that Concubine Shen's status in the harem was completely established.

The Queen's Palace was deserted, with only a few palace maids and eunuchs, each busy with their own work.

Jiang Qingwu stood outside the door, looked inside, and was about to go in when the palace maid in charge came to meet him.

"Meet Miss Jiang..."

"No need to be so polite. Today, the engagement banquet is being held in the palace, and I have come to pay my respects to the Queen."

"Miss, the Queen is in the Buddhist temple at the back, please..."

Jiang Qingwu had no doubts at all and followed the head maid to the backyard.

This backyard is even more deserted. If you don’t know, you might think it is the cold palace.

With a "creaky" sound, Jiang Qingwu looked at the opened door of the Buddhist temple, his heart couldn't help but tighten slightly, and his face couldn't help but darken.

"Girl, why does this Buddhist temple look so eerie?"

"Wait outside. I'll go pay my respects to the Queen."

Wanyue opened her mouth and wanted to say something.

But seeing Jiang Qingwu winking at him secretly, he came to his senses and said, "Yes, girl."

Seeing Jiang Qingwu come in, the palace maid outside even closed the door.

The temple was dark, with only light coming in through a window.

There were Buddha statues, offerings, cushions, and prayer flags inside, but the queen was nowhere to be seen.

Jiang Qingwu went deeper and deeper, and with every step he took, he felt more uneasy.

Just as she was wondering, she was suddenly hugged from behind, "My little beauty, you are here, you are finally here..."
