The emperor has no heir?The empress only dotes on the harem by giving birth to children

The two were talking.

When Nanfeng came over, he saw his master holding the hissing King of Hell Zhenbei Hou. This was something he could only watch, so he immediately turned his back.

……

A banquet was held in the palace in the evening.

Jiang Xianyun changed her clothes with the help of the servants and went to the palace. She wore a red and black court dress today, a color that suited her status as a marquis.

The banquet was held at Minghua Palace, where all important banquets in the palace were held.

When she arrived, most of the people at the banquet had already arrived. When they saw her, they stood up and bowed to her.

"Meet the Marquis of Zhenbei."

She bowed in return.

"I have met you sirs."

They are all people I don’t know.

She would not take the initiative to talk to people, she would just return the greetings when someone greeted her. Then she went to the generals to say hello to the people she knew.

General Xiao and his two daughters were also there.

He saw Jiang Xianyun and shouted.

"Meet the Marquis of Zhenbei."

"General Xiao, I'm not used to this. You should just call me Xiaoyun."

General Xiao smiled cheerfully.

This imperial capital has so many rules that even he can't get used to them after being away for so many years.

"How do you feel, Xiaoyun? You are the first female marquis of our Xuanwu country. When I first saw you, I knew that you were definitely not an ordinary girl."

"I am where I am today thanks to your promotion."

“It’s all your own hard work.”

After talking to the old general for a few words, the two of them sat down.

After she sat down, many more people came to the banquet.

at this time.

Jiang Xianyun heard the sound of discussion.

"Look who that is, he is so handsome."

"I haven't seen him before."

"That's the Sixth Prince. He has poor health and has been sickly since childhood. I heard that he would faint while walking, so he seldom goes out. You have never seen him normally." Listening to the whispered voices in my ears.

Jiang Xianyun looked up.

Pei Jingheng walked in. He was wearing a dark blue robe embroidered with golden cloud patterns. His long ink-black hair was tied up with a jade crown, and there were two headbands with jade rings hanging on each side of his ears.

A modest gentleman is as gentle as jade.

It is indeed very beautiful.

Their eyes met, and he nodded slightly. Then he walked past her and went to the prince's seat opposite.

Then Pei Jingheng discovered that there was no place for him.

When she raised her eyes, she met the prince's provocative gaze.

"Sixth brother, I'm so sorry. You've been bedridden for years and rarely attend banquets like this. The palace servants may have missed your seat."

Pei Jingheng smiled faintly.

"No problem. There is an empty seat over there. It doesn't matter where I sit."

This was because he was jealous of me for making him look bad in front of his father. It was a shame for a prince to do such shameful things.

I thought I could see his angry expression, but I didn't expect him to show any reaction. The prince was furious. He was indeed the son of a palace maid, and he was as mean as his mother.

Jiang Xianyun saw all of this.

Tsk.

Bully her man.

The weather is getting colder...

Jiang Xianyun stood up.

"If your Highness the Sixth Prince does not mind, you may sit with me."

The banquet was always for two people, and Jiang Xianyun was the only one at the table, so there was nothing wrong with what she said. However, after she said this, everyone became quiet, especially when the prince looked at Pei Jingheng fiercely. There was a threat in his eyes, and it was obvious that if he dared to go again, he would not be spared.

Pei Jingheng simply ignored the prince's gaze and looked up at Jiang Xianyun who was sitting not far away opposite him.

There was a smile in his eyes. So this is what it feels like to be cared for.

Pei Jingheng, with a face that looked sick and helpless, placed his bony fingers on his lips and coughed softly.

"How could I dislike it? It is an honor for this prince to sit with the Marquis."

While talking.

He had already walked over and sat down at Jiang Xianyun's table. Then he felt the pain of countless people's eyes falling on him.

No seats reserved.

And I can sit with her.

Pei Jingheng was happy.

I saw him actually sit over there.

Everyone present had different thoughts.

Hiss...

Could it be that the Marquis of Zhenbei has set his eyes on the Sixth Prince?
Impossible, the Sixth Prince is a short-lived sickly person, powerless and unpopular. If I marry him, I will definitely be a widow in the future.

After sitting down next to her, Pei Jingheng looked up at her.

On the surface, the two of them looked like they were just acquainted with each other, but where no one else could see, Pei Jingheng's hand had already held hers.

After everyone arrived at the banquet, the emperor and empress also came hand in hand following the eunuch's announcement.

"The Emperor has arrived, the Empress has arrived..."

Everyone stood up, walked out of their seats and knelt down to pay their respects.

"Long live my emperor, long live my queen, and my queen, my queen, my queen, my queen, my queen, my queen."

The emperor walked to the upper position, sat down and raised his hand to signal.

"Flat body."

"Thank you, long live the emperor, and a thousand years for the queen."

"My dear ministers, please take your seats."

"Today's banquet is mainly to welcome the Marquis of Zhenbei and General Xiao. In addition, we also celebrate our great victory in the war between Xuanwu and Suzaku. Today, my dear ministers, you can stay drunk..."

The emperor raised his glass and said, "Let's have a feast..."

Amidst the sound of ritual music.

A group of beautiful girls rushed into the hall and danced to the music. Their slender hands, graceful steps and twisting waists made the men present stare in amazement.

Heart of beauty in everyone.

Not to mention the men, even Jiang Xianyun, a woman, was watching with great interest.

The emperor also saw the Sixth Prince sitting next to Jiang Xianyun, and he was stunned for a moment.

He casually called the eunuch over and asked him in a low voice, and then he found out what had happened before the banquet.

"That's what the Emperor is like."

The emperor nodded slightly.

"So that's it."

What is the prince doing at this kind of banquet? Even if the sixth prince is not favored, he is still a prince. If there is not even one seat, it will be a disgrace to the royal family.

"I understand."

After sending the eunuch away, he continued to enjoy the singing and dancing without changing his expression.

Next.

The young ladies from the ministers' families also prepared talents.

Singing, dancing, chess, calligraphy and painting were performed one after another.

As for the emperor being happy, just say it directly.

"Okay, there's a reward."

Even the children of aristocratic families were no less capable, because they knew that the emperor might choose a husband for the Marquis of Zhenbei from among them, so even those who usually concealed their talents showed off their abilities today.

Not to mention that they really have their own merits, there are still many people who flirt with him. There are also some who don't like her, but they are just hindered by their families who want them to marry her.

The Marquis of Zhenbei has a large army under his command, but he doesn't like her. He can marry her and take her as a concubine. Marrying her means working less for decades, so of course these men are willing.

After three rounds of drinks.

The emperor glanced at everyone present while feeling tipsy, and finally his eyes fell on Jiang Xianyun.
