The concubine's favorite? Break off the engagement and marry another prince, please respect you

Chapter 315

I had returned to Beijing at the end of the year, and a few days later, it was the New Year’s Eve palace banquet.

This was Xie Wan Ning's first New Year after returning to Beijing, and also the first palace banquet in which she appeared as queen.

The magnitude of the incident can be expected.

Almost all officials above the fourth rank came with their families, royal relatives, and those meritorious families with hereditary succession.

Even the Duke of Pei's Mansion, which everyone was paying close attention to, had people coming.

As everyone knows, the Duke of Pei's Mansion was the queen's previous husband's family, and Prince Pei was the queen's husband.

There are countless secret gambling games in Beijing.

The bet is that the emperor will find a reason to make the Duke of Pei’s Mansion disappear.

In fact, given their Majesties' murderous nature, they might not even need a reason.

So what if she’s my biological aunt?
If you kill, you will kill.

However, unexpectedly, their Majesty did take action, but he only targeted the eldest branch of the Pei family. The crime was still collusion with foreign enemies, and he directly wiped out the bloodline left by the Duke's biological brother.

The queen's real ex-husband's family was not harmed at all.

Even today, at such a grand event, the Duke of Pei was present.

Your Majesty, do you mean... to let bygones be bygones?
It's not quite in line with his usual character.

The people below had different thoughts. Xie Wan Ning and Lu Zi Yan sat side by side at the top.

She also saw people from the Duke of Pei's Mansion.

Princess Duanyang, Duke of Pei, and Pei Yuqing...all came.

After four years, seeing Pei Yuqing again, Xie Wan narrowed his eyes slightly and tried his best to act calm.

The wrist was gently held.

The man in a black dragon robe beside her tilted his head and smiled at her with a sinister smile, "Don't look at me, Wanwan. I'm not very tolerant."

Xie Wan Ning: “…”

She raised her free hand, poured him a glass of wine, and said unhappily: "The prime minister has a big heart, and you are the king, so don't be so stingy." Lu Ziyan smiled without saying a word, picked up the wine cup and drank it all.

Xie Wan Ning poured him another glass of wine, "Okay, stop being jealous."

"Don't you know yet? I like you, I like you the most, and I only like you."

She did it effortlessly and skillfully, and finally made the aura around the emperor beside her no longer so scary.

The palace maids and eunuchs standing behind the two men all lowered their heads and eyes. Having heard it so many times, they had long since gone from being shocked at the beginning to being numb now.

At a palace banquet, Xie Wan Ning behaved very naturally. She did not deliberately avoid the Duke of Pei's Mansion, nor did she act too friendly or intimate.

It was as if she had never been a wife of the Pei family, nor had she ever had any previous relationship with the eldest son of the Pei family.

Pei Yuqing also looked calm and composed, not even glancing up once.

In the eyes of everyone, it was these two people who let go of each other.

After three rounds of drinking, Lu Ziyan seemed to be a little tipsy. He propped his chin up with his hand, tilted his head and looked at the girl beside him, and suddenly said, "How about arranging a marriage for him?"

They both knew who this 'he' was referring to.

Xie Wanning paused slightly while pouring the wine and looked up at him.

Lu Ziyan did not avoid it.

The two looked at each other, perhaps for a moment, or perhaps for several breaths.

Xie Wan Ning was the first to look away. She put down the wine jug and said calmly, "You can point if you want. You don't need to ask me."

The slightly cold tone made Lu Ziyan feel a sudden pain in his heart.

Suddenly, the cold words Pei Yuqing said when she just intervened between them rang in her mind.

She said that the old man was cleaner and more handsome than him.

That's what she likes.

So, even though the old man was eleven years older than her, she was happy to marry him.

Lu Ziyan took a deep breath, picked up the wine cup, drank it all, and put it down heavily.
