After rebirth, the Prime Minister's wife always wanted to leave her father behind and keep her

She raised her head and met Cui Yuanqing's dark eyes, which seemed to see through her.

Cheng Songan said calmly, "Why don't you go in, sir? There are many beauties waiting to see you."

Cui Yuanqing sneered and continued to look at her without blinking.

Cheng Songan hated his secretive attitude the most. He often saw through others at a glance, but always kept his own emotions and thoughts very deeply hidden. In his previous life, he had put a lot of effort in guessing his thoughts and understanding his preferences, but now he was too lazy to guess.

Seeing that he had no intention of answering, she ignored him and stepped inside.

Cui Yuanqing pulled her back, stared into her eyes and said, "Cheng Songan, don't get involved in this mess and bring trouble to the Cui and Cheng families."

Cheng Songan felt inexplicably uneasy. She had whispered a few words to the young master, and he immediately suspected what she was trying to do. Fortunately, she had no intention of competing with him on major political matters, otherwise she would have died without a burial place.

She brushed his hand away and smiled nonchalantly: "I like a smart kid like the young prince, but am I not allowed to say a few more words to him? Where is the law in the Daqian Dynasty that says you will be beheaded if you talk to the prince?"

Cui Yuanqing was not angry either. He just glanced at her pretending to be calm indifferently, loosened his hand, as if he disliked her, and wiped it with a handkerchief inconspicuously, saying: "Go in, the saint will be here soon."

Cheng Songan was irritated by his hand-wiping action. She didn't think he was dirty, but he was disgusted by her. She simply moved her whole body to his side, put her hand on his arm, and dragged him into the pavilion.

Cui Yuanqing was dragged forward two steps by her and entered the main hall. There were people everywhere, so he couldn't get rid of her even if he wanted to. He could only see her off to sit down at the table with an expressionless face.

Tianxiang Pavilion was the main hall for the banquet. Men and women sat on the left and right. According to the seating order, Cheng Songan should sit below Feng and sit with Cheng Wanxin.

When she was escorted to the table while leaning against Cui Yuanqing, Cheng Wanxin's face dimmed visibly. She looked at Cui Yuanqing sadly. Cui Yuanqing frowned almost imperceptibly, then turned around and went to the men's table without looking back.

Cheng Songan sat down with his chin in his hand, watching the silent exchange between the two with a playful smile, and couldn't help but say: "Since the second sister came with mother to the funeral, she must have recovered from her illness. Why do I see that she still looks a little sad?"

Feng snorted with a forced smile.

Cheng Wanxin's eyes sparkled with tears, and she lowered her head and said, "I haven't seen my sister for a long time, so I can't help but miss her."

Cheng Songan sneered: "It turns out that my sister is suffering from lovesickness."

Cheng Wanxin blushed and said angrily, "Sister, don't joke."

Cheng Songan glanced at Cui Yuanqing opposite him, signaling him to look at Cheng Wanxin's shy and timid look at the moment, and then put on an expression that said "It's all your fault that I miss you so much."

Cui Yuanqing's face was covered with frost, and he glared at her several times. As expected, as long as he was involved with Cheng Wanxin, his secrecy and calmness were gone, and he would show his emotions and glare at her with disgust.

Cheng Songan gave him a nonchalant roll of his eyes, and then slowly said to Cheng Wanxin: "I'm saying, you've fallen in love with me, what are you thinking about?"

When Cheng Wanxin heard this, she blushed even more with shame and pretended to be angry and ignored her.

Cheng Songan couldn't help but sigh secretly. It was no wonder that Cui Yuanqing liked her with such a cute look. She raised her eyes again and looked at Cui Yuanqing. It was unknown whether the man was trying to avoid suspicion. He didn't look at her again and just stared at the table in front of him.

After about an incense stick of time, salutes were heard outside the palace gate. The faces of Prince Xiang and his wife suddenly became serious. They stood up and walked out first. The rest of the people followed in order and filled half of the garden.

Afterwards, Emperor Longxi, Empress He, and Concubine Liu came over with a group of eunuchs and palace maids.

The crowd knelt on the ground and shouted "Long live the emperor!"

Emperor Longxi smiled and waved his hand, saying, "No need to be polite, my friends."

King Xiang and his wife welcomed the three of them to the high seat, and the two of them stood at the bottom and arranged for everyone to sit in the order just now.

Emperor Longxi is fifty-three years old this year. He looks majestic and even with a smile, people can't help but feel intimidated. Empress He and Concubine Liu, on the other hand, look much kinder.

After everyone was seated, the eunuch called out Cui Yuanqing, Lu Qingshan and a group of Jinshi who had passed the examination, and announced their official positions in the six ministries in public. Several people accepted the order and expressed their gratitude.

After this ceremony, Emperor Longxi smiled a little warmer, pointing at Cui Yuanqing and saying, "There are three great joys in life: meeting an old friend in a foreign land, the wedding night, and getting your name on the imperial examination. Today, Xuanzhen has all of them. If you are jealous of the rest, just give him a few more glasses of wine."

Cheng Songan thought intently. The wedding night means he just got married, and passing the imperial examination means he was appointed as the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites. What does meeting an old friend in a foreign land mean? Is there any old acquaintance of his in this house?

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Empress He asked with a smile: "I heard that Lord Cui married the eldest daughter of Grand Secretary Cheng, who is well-known in the capital for her virtue. Can you bring her here for me to see today?"

Princess Xiang stepped out from the crowd and said with a smile, "Mother, I was just about to introduce you to someone else. Everyone says that Lord Cui is the best in the capital, but I didn't know that his wife is not only virtuous, but also has a chivalrous spirit."

Empress He smiled and said to Concubine Liu, "Princess Xiang has never been a talkative person, but today she is praising me to the utmost."

Concubine Liu agreed with a smile and said, "Bring it up quickly for Her Majesty to see."

Princess Xiang came over and took Cheng Songan's hand, and pushed her and Cui Yuanqing in front of the queen, and asked, "Look, mother, am I a chatterbox?"

The Queen and Concubine Liu looked at them and nodded, "They are indeed a perfect match. It's not that this girl is lucky, but that Lord Cui took advantage of her."

Cui Yuanqing bowed and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is absolutely right."

Empress He said to Cheng Zhongwen and Cui Ziqi, "Lord Cheng and his wife have raised a good daughter. Lord Cui can be very proud today."

Cheng Zhongwen and Feng Shi hurriedly stood up after receiving the Queen's praise, and Cui Ziqi even thanked her with a smile.

Cheng Wanxin sat in her seat and saw how proud they all were, especially Cheng Songan. She and Cui Yuanqing had brought honor to their parents, but no one cared about her. She pinched her long nails into her palms without realizing it.

Cheng Songan caught a glimpse of it and smiled secretly, then said to the Queen: "Your Majesty is too kind. I have three sisters, and my second sister is much better than me."

As she spoke, she turned her gaze to Cheng Wanxin, and everyone followed her gaze. In an instant, everyone's eyes in the room were focused on Cheng Wanxin.

She wanted attention, and this was given to her.

The queen laughed and said, "One daughter is already a beautiful one, but I didn't expect the Cheng family to raise three at once. I wonder who got the advantage!"

Cheng Songan smiled slightly: "My second sister is engaged to the Jin family, the magistrate of Yangzhou."

Cheng Wanxin's face, which was originally a little uneasy, showed a gray look, and when she looked at Cui Yuanqing, her face also showed a gloomy mood.

Once the marriage is announced in public to the two most respected people in the world, it cannot be changed.
