After rebirth, I rejected the Regent, but he pursued me instead

"Summer Resort? Will all the princes go there?"

"Of course. In the past, the emperor would hold various banquets whenever he went to the Mountain Resort, but in recent years, the emperor's health has become increasingly haggard, so he canceled it. I think this year may be the last time, so this year's banquet should be more grand."

After a pause, Jiang Yu Nan asked again, "Wan Wan, are you going? If you can't go, you can stay at home, but as an important official in the court, father must go to this banquet."

"Go, go, of course I have to go."

Jiang Wanyu nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Since Song Qiyan was there, she naturally had to go.

It seemed that she hadn't seen Song Qi Yan for nearly half a month since he left without saying goodbye.

If she meets him, she must make it clear this time.

Jiang Wanyu made up her mind secretly.

-

Inside the palace, Song Chengzhong sat weakly under the dragon throne, while Song Qiyan knelt below.

"Yan'er, I heard that you went to Shuzhong these days to arrest the thieves who were invading Shuzhong for the county governor?"

"What the emperor said is true. I did defeat that wild gang."

Song Qiyan said with his head down.

It seemed that the incident of the Blood Knife Sect had caused a big stir. If he kept suppressing it, it would only make him more suspicious. It would be better for him to report the matter in detail to his father personally.

"well done."

With the help of Ye Xianzhou, Song Chengzhong walked down the stairs and slowly walked in front of Song Qiyan.

His tone was gentle, and no emotion could be seen on it, but when he stood in front of Song Qi Yan, that chilling sense of majesty emerged again.

Song Chengzhong patted Song Qiyan's shoulder lightly, and said solemnly, "But these are not what you should do, you know, Yan'er."

"I don't understand. Defending the country is the responsibility of every member of the royal family. Why can't I do it?"

Song Qi Yan frowned, narrowed his stubborn eyes slightly, and looked at the cold face that had never smiled at him before.

"Father, let me ask you again, am I really your child?"

Hearing this, Song Chengzhong's face darkened, and his already cold tone became even colder, mixed with a hint of anger.

"How many times have I told you, Yan'er? Of course you are my child. Haven't you figured it out after all these years?"

"For so many years, I just wanted you to be a cool prince quietly, and you can't even do that?!"

Song Qi Yan remained silent. He had heard this statement countless times, but this was probably the last time he asked.

"It was the child who was rude."

"By the way, you will come with me to the Summer Resort to attend the banquet in three days."

He glanced at Song Qiyan's stubborn look, and then said, "Don't say you don't want to go because you have something urgent to do. How can your mother's death still leave a mark on your steps? Those who go here are all from prestigious families, so you should go too. And the Jiang family has also gone, so why don't you, the future son-in-law, go too?"

Is Wanwan going too?

Song Qi Yan pursed his lips, thinking about something in his mind, and did not agree.

"Besides, your wedding is in half a month, so don't find excuses to delay it."

"Father, don't worry about this."

Song Qiyan raised his eyes to look at Song Chengzhong. Unlike before, he was stubborn and had the intention of resisting. Instead, he said firmly, "My son said that he is willing to marry Wanwan."

After saying this, he said goodbye to Song Chengzhong and left.

Looking at Song Qiyan's departing back, Song Chengzhong staggered and was about to fall, but was helped up by Ye Xianzhou.

"Xianzhou, you have followed me for so many years, tell me whether what I did was right or not."

"Your Majesty is just doing what he should do as a father. What's wrong with that?"

"I hope Yan'er will understand my intentions in the future."

Song Chengzhong sighed lightly, and then with the help of Ye Xianzhou, he slowly walked up to the dragon throne.

-

Three days later, Jiang Wanyu came to the Summer Resort with the Jiang family.

As soon as I set foot, I was attracted by the scenery in the park.

In the garden, there are mountains and waters reflecting each other, with pavilions and towers dotted in between.

Looking again, the lake and mountains, winding paths and green shades make it an ideal place to escape the summer heat.

But Jiang Wanyu had no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery. She only wanted to find Song Qiyan.

Soon, the royal carriages arrived one by one, but there was no sign of Song Qi Yan.

"Why? He's not coming?"

Just as I was feeling disappointed, my eyes suddenly locked on a familiar figure.

"Song Qiyan! Song Qiyan!"

She shouted and called out, chasing after his skirt, wanting to run towards him, but he had gone somewhere else with another minister in the blink of an eye.

"What's going on? Does this guy not want to see me?"

I always feel like you're avoiding me.

Her eyes became lost the moment the man left her sight, and she felt that Song Qi Yan's feelings towards her seemed to have changed.

So he had no choice but to sit at the table with the Jiang family.

-

"My Lord, Miss Jiang was calling you just now."

"I know."

Song Qiyan just replied indifferently.

Of course he knew she was calling him, but...

"Then why do you ignore Miss Jiang?"

Think about it, as soon as the prince got off the horse, his eyes would inevitably fall on Miss Jiang. It is really strange that the prince would ignore her now.

Qingxuan was just thinking, when Song Qiyan tapped him lightly.

"Don't worry about it for now. The He family has lost Concubine Duan and the useless prince in the past few days. If they want to support Song Yuheng to take the throne, I'm afraid they have long been wary of me. I think they will definitely cause some trouble in this summer resort. You should be more careful."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Hearing this, Qingxuan consciously shut his mouth and stopped talking about Jiang Wanyu.

-

In a corner of the Mountain Resort, He Jin and He Miaoyi were planning something.

"Miaoyi, you know your responsibility."

"I know it myself. Don't worry, father. I will separate Prince Jing and Jiang Wanyu according to your plan. Not only that, I will also cancel their engagement and make sure that Song Qiyan will never be able to get out of this situation."

"Hahaha, you are worthy of being my adopted daughter. Your father will secretly lend you a helping hand. Just go for it."

He Jin patted He Miaoyi's shoulder gently, and a strange smile gradually appeared on his face.

Now that Concubine Duan has been banished to the cold palace, she has no chance of rising to prominence; his son is useless, and not only was his title of prince stripped, he also almost dragged him down and caused him to lose his position as Duke.

Now they can only hope that Song Yuheng will ascend the throne and help the He family turn things around in the future.

Therefore, he will eliminate everything that gets in his way.

And Song Qi Yan will be the first person to be eliminated.

Therefore, he would naturally not let Song Qiyan succeed easily in the marriage with the Jiang family.
