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

"Wanwan, why are you talking to Princess Luoning?"

Jiang Xun looked at Jiang Wanyu with some worry. This Princess Luoning had never had any relationship with Wanwan before, but now she was deliberately getting close to her.

"I don't know. Maybe something went wrong in my brain."

"Wanwan, listen to your brother and have less to do with the He family in the future."

"Why?"

Jiang Wanyu looked at Jiang Xun in some confusion, and always felt that Jiang Xun was worried.

"The He family used their power to get the emperor to marry the current Concubine Duan. Now they are powerful and our Jiang family is no longer the same as before. The He family has always been a mortal enemy of the Jiang family, so we should avoid them now."

"My brother taught me that."

Hearing this, Jiang Wanyu felt lucky that she had been careful and did not fall into He Miaoyi's trap.

"I just saw that the emperor is in a very happy mood today. If you want to cancel the engagement, you can take this opportunity. However, I will ask you again, do you really want to cancel the engagement with Song Qiyan? Do you regret it?"

Jiang Xun turned around and asked again worriedly. He didn't know whether it was because Wanwan had lost her memory or she really didn't want to marry Song Qiyan. He only knew that he hoped Wanwan would not regret any decision she made.

"Yes, Wanwan will not regret it. I hope brother will help me."

"Then I'll listen to Wanwan, of course."

Jiang Xun touched Jiang Wanyu's head and made up his mind.

"By the way, where is Jiang Sheng? Why did he leave you there alone?"

"Oh, second brother? He went to relieve himself. I guess he won't be back for a while."

"In that case, let's just sit down and ignore him for now."

Then Jiang Wanyu and Jiang Xun sat down.

-

"Welcome to the Spring Flower Banquet, my dear ministers. It has been a long time since I have attended such a banquet."

"Father, you are joking. Father is in good health. I'm sure we can have this meal many more times in the future."

Following the man's voice, Jiang Wanyu's gaze fell on the man sitting in front of Song Chengzhong.

That man was full of vigor and had a smile on his face, yet he seemed shrewd. It was not difficult to guess that he was the Second Prince Song Yuheng, who Jiang Xun had mentioned as having made great military achievements.

"Yu'er, you're joking. I know my own body very well."

Although Song Chengzhong said this, he still had a smile on his face.

Jiang Wanyu couldn't help but feel that it was unfair.

Song Qiyan probably has never seen this kind of face before?

Although she had only been to the palace a few times, every time she saw the emperor giving Song Qiyan a stern smile.

That majesty, that stern face, how can this be the image of a father?

Clearly an enemy.

Jiang Wanyu secretly felt sorry for Song Qiyan.

But thinking about the fact that she was going to break off the engagement behind his back in front of everyone today, the harm she would cause to Song Qi Yan would be just as great.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wanyu glanced at all the people sitting at the table with dark eyes. Everyone was having a great time, as if no one cared even if Song Qi Yan disappeared, or as if Song Qi Yan had never sat at the table in the hall at all.

I pursed my lips. But if I felt sorry for him, would he feel sorry for me?

Before, when "Jiang Wanyu" treated him like this, he just ignored her. Now, I don't know what's wrong with him and he bullies me all day long. How can I have a good life after marrying him?

Song Qi Yan, Song Qi Yan, I am also trying to protect myself. If you blame me later, I am willing to compensate you for everything.

He pursed his lips, made up his mind secretly, and looked for an opportunity to speak it out.

Soon, the singing and dancing was followed by a relaxing chat.

Jiang Wanyu saw that Song Chengzhong looked very good, so she slowly walked out of her seat.

"Your Majesty, I have a favor to ask."

"Oh? Wanwan. What do you want? Your father is not around, if you have any wishes, I will definitely grant them to you."

Song Chengzhong looked up, his eyes full of kindness.

I think it’s probably because Jiang Wanyu benefited a bit from being a virtuous concubine.

"Only the Emperor can accomplish this."

Jiang Wanyu paused, her hands trembling, and she swallowed her saliva and said, "Because I want to cancel my engagement with the Third Prince."

"what?!"

As soon as Jiang Wanyu said this, everyone started to make a commotion, and Song Chengzhong almost stood up and slammed the table, with surprise and a slight anger mixed in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, please calm down and listen to what Wanwan has to say."

Wei Qingyue, who was standing by, was busy patting Song Chengzhong on the back, fearing that he would get angry again and get sick.

Song Chengzhong then calmed down a little and sat down again.

"Wan Wan, did Song Qi Yan ignore you again?"

Song Chengzhong frowned and suppressed his anger, only then did he manage to keep his tone from being so extreme.

"That's not the case. Rather, the Third Prince had a romantic encounter."

"what?!"

Everyone whispered to each other in panic again.

"This is the evidence I sent someone to investigate. It details the date when the Third Prince met that woman. And my brother also saw that woman enter the Third Prince's room in the Northern Prince's Mansion. Wanwan does not want to entrust herself to such a person, and I hope the emperor will understand."

"Is this really true?! Is that rebellious son rebelling?"

The emperor read every word, as if it was engraved in his heart by a knife, and the paper in his hand was crumpled into a ball.

He knew that Song Qi Yan had always disobeyed him, and he also knew that he hated him because of the things that happened in the palace and with Xue Ning, but he didn't expect that he would have the courage to raise a daughter secretly.

Song Chengzhong looked embarrassed, and the anger on his face became more and more obvious, but his lips were tightly pursed and he hadn't spoken a word yet.

At this time, the royal relatives and nobles who disliked Song Qiyan and were worried that he would climb up the Jiang family's connections to rise in status began to exaggerate.

"The Third Prince didn't like the Emperor before. Now he is probably doing this to deliberately anger the Emperor."

Concubine Duan forced herself to suppress the smile on her face.

She had hated Song Qi Yan before, because Song Qi Yan's existence always made the emperor miss the virtuous concubine.

Although the Emperor spoke coldly to Song Qi Yan because he indirectly caused the death of Concubine Xian, he is that man's son after all, and keeping him will only cause future troubles. It would be better to take this opportunity to cut off Song Qi Yan's retreat and make him unable to turn over.

After thinking about it carefully, Concubine Duan signaled Song Yuheng to take action.

"Earlier, my royal brother had a grudge against my father because he favored me in the competition. I think after all these years, my royal brother still hasn't forgotten it."

You said one thing, I said another, which made Song Chengzhong's anger even stronger, but this was the effect Jiang Wanyu wanted.

She knew that Song Chengzhong was a paranoid person, and the death of Concubine Xian had always left a mark on Song Chengzhong's heart. Only by letting her and Song Qi Yan get together to fulfill Concubine Xian's wish could he feel a little comforted. So even if she told Song Qi Yan that he had a new love, Song Chengzhong might not agree.

But if there is pressure from public opinion, that may not be the case.

Although I feel sorry for Song Qi Yan, I think this matter should be accomplished.

It's just that I don't know why my heart feels a little complicated.

"Your Majesty, since the Third Prince is like this, our Jiang family will never let Wanwan marry him. We hope Your Majesty will help and allow Wanwan and the Third Prince to cancel their engagement."

Jiang Xun knelt down and pleaded for Wanwan.

Suddenly, many branches of the Jiang family or royal relatives and nobles who disliked Song Qiyan also resigned.

The situation escalated rapidly. Song Chengzhong had no choice but to give in, but suddenly he heard hurried footsteps.

"Father, this is not the case. I am not having any romantic encounters. On the contrary, I am attracted to Miss Jiang and would like to marry Wanwan. I hope Your Majesty will grant my wish."
