After I captured the wrong male lead, I broke off the engagement and married the villain

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was time for the palace banquet.

On this day, the ladies of the imperial court would pay homage to the queen in the main hall, so Nangong Yuan got up early and prepared everything.

Mrs. Shen's status among the noble ladies was not particularly high, but it was not low either, so she wore court dress today.

Nangong Yuan sat in front of the mirror while yawning, waiting for Tao Zhu to do her makeup.

"Today is a palace banquet, we must not dress impolitely, Miss, please use this dress."

It was the dress that Liu Qingyue picked out for her from Yuehui Pavilion. The golden-red dress was very eye-catching.

"Okay, hurry up, I think we're running out of time."

She usually dresses simply and doesn't go out very often, so she just does whatever is convenient.

She entered the palace today, with the most complicated bun and the most luxurious clothes.

After putting it on, she felt a little restrained.

"Okay young lady, put on your cloak and let's go out."

She wore an ink-black cloak, with only the golden red hem of her skirt showing, and she had a quiet beauty against the snow.

"Let's go."

As soon as they went out, Mrs. Shen was already waiting for them in the front hall.

"Have you packed everything? I have arranged a carriage. Let's go to the palace first."

The whole family was going to enter the palace, so Nangong Yuan and her brother rode in the same carriage.

"Oh, you are dressed so handsomely today. I wonder if there is any lady who likes me."

Nangong Yuan looked at her brother in court robes with a teasing expression.

The person opposite glanced at her resentfully: "You little girl, you do have a lot on your mind, but today His Majesty is going to receive us, so I'm afraid there will be no chance."

"That's fine. Men and women will sit together at the dinner. My brother is not young anymore, so it's time for him to find a sister-in-law."

Nangong Yuan smiled very ostentatiously.

"Well, it's not impossible, but how can a noble lady from Kyoto be interested in a rough country boy like me?"

He has been living on the border for many years and would only come to Beijing for important matters.

If I marry him, I might have to go to the border. Who would be willing to go to such a remote place and suffer?

Nangong Yuan was helpless: "Brother is also a rare talent, why do you belittle yourself like this? Besides, not everyone can't endure hardship."

"You know, marrying me is already unfair."

Hearing this, Nangong Yuan sighed: "It seems that it is indeed difficult for my brother to get married, but it doesn't matter. Since he can't play with the people in Kyoto, he can just marry an ordinary woman. It doesn't matter anyway."

She knew that her brother was very outstanding and was certainly worthy of the lady.

But he has been stationed at the border all year round, and no one can follow him to the border to suffer. When you think about it, it's quite miserable.

"Don't keep looking at me. There are so many people watching you when you enter the palace this time. Don't let it get out of hand. If people find out that you have a relationship with the Night King, it will be troublesome."

Nangong Yuan raised her eyebrows: "I understand, don't worry."

Her friendship with Xiao Heyun officially ended a year ago.

What's more, everyone knows that he broke his leg and was demoted to Qingzhou. His career is now in jeopardy, so few people are willing to provoke him.

Before that incident happened, there were quite a lot of people who liked him.

But who would be willing to marry a disabled person?

Especially the girls who grew up in Kyoto and were spoiled.

"I think he is indeed not an ordinary person. He will definitely have things to do in the future. A Yuan, have you not changed your mind?"

Nangong Yuan lowered her voice when she heard this: "Just walk and see. There are many things that I can't just ignore."

Just like Xiao Heyun, if she doesn't go to conquer, how can she go home?

Moreover, since we know the subsequent plot and understand that he will never be unknown, why would he withdraw?

After she left, the Nangong family was left unattended. At least with the relationship between the two, Xiao Heyun would not do anything to them.

Isn’t that great?

Hearing this, Nangong Jin said, "Okay, you know what's going on, but judging from his recent actions, I'm afraid he will have to stay in Kyoto."

"what?"

Nangong Yuan really didn’t realize this.

She was prepared that Xiao Heyun would stay in Qingzhou for a long time, so she did not go out of her way to inquire about the news.

"Didn't you see? Although he hasn't been very vocal in the court recently, every time he makes a report, he has a purpose. A few days ago, he even reported Qingzhou's achievements to His Majesty."

"What he handed over was very nice and had some tangible benefits. Isn't this clearly intended to tempt Your Majesty?"

If this place was managed by someone else, he would never be willing to accept it.

At that time, the Qingzhou officials below will be very necessary.

"Brother, do you mean that he wants to give up Qingzhou?"

"Not necessarily. I don't know what his plan was, but I remember that he went to Qingzhou in the name of an inspector."

Nangong Yuan came back to her senses and said, "That's true, but what does this have to do with him staying in Kyoto?"

"The position of inspector is special. If he stayed in the local area, he wouldn't have achieved so much and would be easily targeted. But he did the opposite. Maybe he had other purposes, but I'm just guessing."

Because Nangong Yuan was not very clear about what the officials below were doing, and because she knew Xiao Heyun's plan, she subconsciously thought that he would not come back and did not pay too much attention to it.

Now that he said that, it seemed possible.

"Okay, but what can we do when we return to the capital?"

She knew that there was no place for her in Kyoto, and she also understood that if Xiao Heyun stayed here, it would mean many difficulties.

Therefore, staying in Qingzhou and taking it slow may be the best option.

If he really wants to stay, what are his plans?

At this moment, she urgently wanted to know what Xiao Heyun was thinking. It was not a good feeling to lose control of the situation.

Especially for Nangong Yuan, she who always felt confident of victory now felt a little disappointed.

"With his ability, he can do anything, right? Qingzhou has made remarkable achievements, and Your Majesty can see that. If he is abandoned just because he is disabled, wouldn't that be a pity?"

The emperor is a person who attaches great importance to practical value. Xiao Heyun is so handy, and there is no need to worry about him backlash. Isn't it better?

Anyway, it's much better than King Li who has been watching covetously and refused to surrender.

In his eyes, the emperor might really keep Xiao Heyun.

"Yes, I didn't think of this."

Nangong Yuan thought about it from beginning to end at this moment and found that what he said did make sense.

The emperor doesn't have many people at his disposal now.

One of the main reasons is that King Li is out of control.

He couldn't punish his own son now, and he got angry looking at him, and was in a dilemma.

There are many things that he can only feel at ease if they are done by members of the royal family. Now, isn’t Xiao Heyun the best tool?

"No matter what, his staying in Kyoto means uncertainty. I don't believe he would be so humble."

The two have known each other for many years, and Nangong Jin still understands the character of this old friend.
