After the general's wife was reborn, everyone knelt down and begged her for mercy.

Chapter 47 There is a bottom line in being a human being

"Empress." Ning Ruyan stood up, "I am a newly widowed husband, and my husband's bones are still cold." If she started playing the piano and singing just after her husband died, she would be criticized.

Queen Yue was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "That's true." Then she looked at Princess Qicai, "Of course, let's find someone else."

Princess Qicai glared at Ning Ruyan, and then ordered a noble girl to help her play the piano.

Ning Ruyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In this life, she really didn't want to face the colorful princess. After all, this girl was very extreme. She had committed suicide for Jiang Yan in her previous life, and even anyone who was close to Jiang Yan Women have been taught a lesson by her.

Soon, the women's side was almost done performing, and the male guests also had performances on stage, such as sword dancing and piano playing.

This kind of situation also provides an opportunity for unmarried men and women to see each other. If there is someone you like, you might be able to ask the queen for a marriage.

Halfway through the banquet, the Queen Mother unexpectedly came.

Everyone hurriedly stopped the performance and saluted.

"Oh, I'm not here at the right time." With the support of her grandma, the Queen Mother came over with a smile and took a seat on the main seat, "I'm disturbing your enjoyment."

"What did you say, Queen Mother? It's an honor for everyone that you can come." Empress Yue hurriedly poured fruit wine for the Queen Mother herself, "This is this year's plum wine, Queen Mother, try it."

"Yes." The Queen Mother nodded, "Let's continue. Seeing these young people full of energy makes me happy."

"The Queen Mother, you didn't even watch Ran'er's performance just now." Princess Qicai coquettishly pouted at the Queen Mother.

"Haha, it doesn't matter. Next time you go to the Ai family's palace, you can perform specifically for the Ai family, okay?"

"Is there any reward?"

"You're a little greedy for money, so of course you have it."

Princess Qicai was happy now.

The banquet continues.

Ning Ruyan didn't know why, but she always felt that the Queen Mother's eyes were always drifting toward her, which made her feel like she was carrying a light. This banquet was a torment for her.

Fortunately, the Queen Mother didn't say anything. When the banquet was almost over, she stood up and left first.

The emperor and queen also left together.

In the following time, those who want to continue eating and drinking can continue to eat and drink, those who want to go to the garden can go shopping, and those who want to go back can leave the palace.

"Your Highness, I am feeling a little unwell and would like to leave." Ning Ruyan kowtowed to the eldest princess.

"Hey." The eldest princess sighed, "That's all, let's go."

"Thank you, Princess." Ning Ruyan breathed a sigh of relief. After saluting again, she stood up and walked out without even looking at Huo's side.

However, what Ning Ruyan didn't expect was that not long after leaving the Imperial Garden, someone blocked her way.

"Which family are you from?"

"I have met His Highness the First Prince." Ning Ruyan recognized this person at a glance as Xia Chunlin, the eldest son of Concubine Li. He was also the most likely candidate to become the crown prince after the second prince became blind. Of course, in the previous life, At that time, it was later proved that he was responsible for the poisoning of the second prince Xia Qiulin. Therefore, after Xia Qiulin became the crown prince, the first thing he dealt with was Concubine Li and her son. At that time, it was Jiang Yan who did it. Later, Concubine Zhao and the third son were also dealt with. The prince, mother and son.

After all threats were removed, Jiang Yan became an abandoned son.

In fact, Ning Ruyan never understood. According to Jiang Yan's ability, he should have been able to detect the murderous intention of the queen and her son. It was not difficult to avoid this murderous disaster. However, he did not avoid it. , but walked up the road even though he knew it was a dead end.There was once a rumor that the reason why Jiang Yan died generously was because of the eldest princess Xia Nichang.

The queen gave birth to a son and a daughter. Xia Nichang, as the eldest daughter of Emperor Xia Wen and his first child, was naturally loved by thousands of people. The eldest princess was also very beautiful and versatile, and was known as the number one in Daxia Kingdom. beauty.

As Xia Qiulin's companion, Jiang Yan has been in and out of the palace since he was a child. He is very familiar with the eldest princess, so it is normal for him to like her.

Of course, these are all rumors, and only the parties involved know whether they are true or not.

To Ning Ruyan's disappointment, the eldest princess did not attend the banquet today because she was not feeling well. Otherwise, she would really want to look up to her beauty.

"Do you know this prince?" The eldest prince raised his eyebrows slightly, "Which family are you from?"

"My wife, the daughter-in-law of Jiang's family, Ning."

"Jiang Bonian's wife?" The eldest prince frowned, "A widow?"

Ning Ruyan lowered her head and said nothing.

"What a pity." The eldest prince glanced at Ning Ruyan, then turned and left.

Ning Ruyan breathed a sigh of relief, then quickly walked out of the palace and got into the carriage. However, her breath suddenly rose again because there was someone in the carriage.

"It's quite tiring." Jiang Yan leaned on the pillow of the carriage, holding in his hand the account book where Ning Ruyan usually reconciled the accounts.

"Master Jiang, isn't this... inappropriate for you?" Ning Ruyan frowned.

"You have rejected this commander many times." Jiang Yan put down the account book, stood up and got close to Ning Ruyan's face, "Don't you know? Men are always competitive. The more you refuse, the more likely you will be. I am interested."

Ning Ruyan lowered her eyes, not commenting on this statement.

"Perhaps, you can try to accept my commander. Maybe I will get tired of him after a while." Jiang Yan raised his hand and touched Ning Ruyan's head.

Ning Ruyan's body stiffened, and she hurriedly moved her body out: "Sir, although I am a young woman, I have a bottom line. I will never do anything casual. Even if I want a man, it will be Behind Ruyan and Lihou.”

"Some bottom lines can be broken." Jiang Yan reached out and pulled her into his arms, gently stroking her cheek with his fingers, "Do you believe that one day, you will beg me to let this commander take you?"

"I dare not speculate on things that have not happened."

"Haha, you..." Jiang Yan smiled, "Let's go, I'm hungry."

"Ok?"

"I'm hungry." Jiang Yan repeated.

Ning Ruyan sighed and asked Lao Qian to drive to Yanyu Pavilion.

At this time in the palace, Princess Qicai immediately ran to the male guest to look for Jiang Yan. However, she was told that Commander Jiang had left, so she hurriedly chased him out. However, she did not see anyone. He saw Ning Ruyan's carriage, so just after the carriage started and walked not far, it suddenly stopped again.

The huge braking inertia caused Ning Ruyan to crash directly into Che Bi, but just when she closed her eyes and prepared to feel the pain, she was hugged by someone.

There was a muffled groan above the head.

"Ning Ruyan, get off here." Before Ning Ruyan and Lao Qian could say anything, Princess Qicai, who was blocking the car, started shouting.
