Because of Liu Yunyan's behavior, everyone's eyes were directly on her. No matter how thick-skinned Liu Yunyan was, she could not withstand so many scrutiny. If it weren't for the veil on her face, Liu Yunyan would have been ashamed to death.

Liu Yunfeng was helpless and gently patted Liu Yunyan's back, "Be careful, how come you are choking when you drink water?"

"Ahem," Yun Ting also coughed twice and asked in disbelief, "Little girl, who did you say you liked just now?"

Li Xueyan continued, "Your Majesty, I have always loved my cousin since I was a child. Your Highness, the current Crown Prince, I beg Your Majesty to grant my wish."

Yun Ting didn't know how to start for a moment, so he could only look at Queen Li Rongxuan and said, "You take care of what to do with your niece."

Li Rongxuan was also very troubled. Logically speaking, there was no problem, but this matter could not be explained logically. Why did you like Yun Ruchu when there were so many people you could like?

The prince was a little surprised to hear this. Why was he mentioned? He didn't have much contact with this cousin, let alone any liking for her.

However, the prime minister is second only to the emperor in the court, so why not marry his daughter and use her for his own benefit?

"No," Li Rongyuan shouted, "Your Majesty, this little daughter of mine has been spoiled by her family and doesn't know anything. She was just talking nonsense just now. Please just pretend that she didn't say anything. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, I am willing to marry the Prime Minister's daughter." Yun Ruochu also stood up. This was a good opportunity to turn things around, and he must seize it.

Yun Ting's sharp eyes frightened him. Under great pressure, he continued to speak: "Mother, Xueyan and I love each other. Please help us."

"Mutual love? Why did I hear that the prince likes Liu Yun, the concubine of the Liu family? Are those just rumors?" The queen looked at the farce below and spoke with a cold face.

Yun Ruochu knelt down and said, "Mother, I once had feelings for Miss Liu San, but she seduced me first and I was bewitched by her. That's why I broke off the engagement with Miss Liu Er. Moreover, Miss Liu San is not worthy of me compared to Xueyan."

Liu Yunyan smiled sarcastically. Look, this is the man Liu Yunqing likes. For the sake of power, he simply threw her behind his back and even slandered a woman who loved him deeply in front of so many princes and ministers.

Wow, this is so interesting!

The Queen looked at Yun Ruochu coldly, "Since the Crown Prince said so, I believe it, but your marriage with Xueyan still needs to be discussed later."

This marriage cannot go through, otherwise everything will be completely ruined.

"Mother," "Queen," Yun Ruochu and Li Xueyan said at the same time, "Please grant us your blessing, Your Majesty."

Looking at the people kneeling on the ground, everyone had different expressions.

Prime Minister Li Rongyuan looked pale, Emperor Zhao Yun Ting looked interested, the Empress had no expression on her face, and the princes, princesses and concubines all looked interested.

Each of the ministers had his own thoughts. If the Crown Prince and the Prime Minister were to marry, and the Queen was from the Li family, then the Li family would probably become the dominant force.

"Ahem," Yun Ting asked, "In that case, I think it would be better if I didn't go and let the two of them be together, Queen?"

Li Rongxuan stared at the two people in the audience and thought for a long time before asking again: "Have you two thought it over? Once this marriage is decided, there will be no possibility of regret." She hoped that the prince could understand the meaning of her words.

"To answer your question, mother, I have made up my mind. I love Xueyan and I must marry her." Yun Ruochu said firmly.

"Aunt, Xueyan is willing." Li Xueyan also nodded firmly.

"Okay, okay," Li Rongxuan took a deep breath and looked at Li Rongyuan: "What do you think, Prime Minister?"

At this point, Li Rongyuan could no longer utter any rebuttal. With the Crown Prince and Li Xueyan saying so, even the Emperor and Empress were helpless, let alone himself.

I can only agree, "This old minister agrees as well."

After these words were spoken, Li Rongyuan seemed to have aged a lot.

"Okay, in that case, then this marriage is settled." Yun Ting made the decision right away.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," several people expressed their gratitude together.

After this farce ended, Li Xueyan sat directly next to Prince Yun Ruochu, completely ignoring her father's pale face.

Liu Yunyan didn't know Li Xueyan very well. A woman who did something knowing it was impossible was really admirable.

The singing and dancing continued in the hall. The envoys from various countries were ready to perform and took to the stage one after another.

In the midst of all the joy, Liu Yunyan suddenly discovered something strange. Although Yun Ruochu and Li Xueyan were cousins ​​and it was normal for them to look alike, they looked too much alike when sitting together.

Oh? Liu Yunyan seemed to have discovered a new world. No wonder the expressions of the Queen and the Prime Minister were not so good just now, and Emperor Zhao had an intriguing expression on his face.

Wow, you city people really have fun.

Yun Ting sat in the main seat, always paying attention to the situation on Liu Yunyan's side. At this time, seeing her staring at the prince and Li Xueyan with amusement on her face, he knew that this girl had guessed something.

This little girl is quite smart. I don't even need to give her any guidance.

As expected, smart children still depend on their own children.

Liu Yunyan felt bored after watching for a while, and took a sip of wine secretly while Liu Yunfeng was not paying attention. Well, it was worthy of being a royal banquet, the wine tasted really good.

She took another sip unconsciously, and the cup was almost empty. The palace maid standing beside her immediately refilled it for her.

As soon as Liu Yunyan raised her hand, the wine in the little palace maid's wine pot spilled onto Liu Yunyan's clothes, and a large area of ​​her clothes was instantly wet.

The maid immediately knelt beside Liu Yunyan, kowtowed and shouted: "Please spare my life, Princess."

Liu Yunyan looked at her clothes which were wet in a large area. She quite liked this aqua blue dress and felt sad that it was wet with wine.

He waved his hand: "It's okay, don't be too scared."

The maid looked around and saw no one was paying attention to what was going on here, so she said in a low voice: "My Lady, the Concubine Xian gave me a piece of clothing before. If you don't mind, you can go with me to the side hall to change into this piece of clothing."

Liu Yunyan thought about it and nodded: "Okay, let's go."

Liu Yunfeng was a general of the second rank. Many people came to toast him and he had no time to take care of himself, so Liu Yunyan got up and left with the palace maid.

Yun Ruochu was always paying attention to Liu Yunyan's movements. When he saw Liu Yunyan and the palace maid leaving, he picked up a glass of wine, hiding the vicious look in his eyes, and said, "Liu Yunyan, just enjoy yourself."

When Liu Yunfeng came back after being toasted, Liu Yunyan was no longer at her seat. He sent a few palace maids over to ask about the situation, but no one knew where Liu Yunyan had gone.

Liu Yunfeng was a little panicked for a moment.
