They didn't need anyone to play matchmaker; the two seemed to get along very well and could be together on their own without any matchmaking.

"I understand." Wan Ge hadn't expected such a surprise. This was good. As long as he stayed away from Rong Wanqing, Yin Qingxiu might actually have a good outcome.

"If the two of them get married, there's no need to keep an eye on them all the time. Just check on him occasionally," Wan Ge added.

"yes."

…

By the time of the banquet, Wan Ge had changed her clothes and returned to her former elegant and beautiful self.

She wasn't the kind of woman who looked robust to begin with; although she had become a little darker, she was still very fair-skinned.

Many people, judging by her appearance alone, assumed she would have a masculine voice, only to later discover that she couldn't compare in appearance, let alone ability. She was superior in both literary and martial arts.

Of course, as her older sister and the female lead of the world, Rong Wanqing also has an absolutely beautiful face. However, having been in a position of power for so long, what people feel first is her majesty, and only then will they notice her appearance.

Most people kept their distance from the Empress, but Wan Ge was different. In their impression, Prince Wan was an extremely kind person, and his appearance attracted the attention of countless people.

At such banquets, in addition to the distinction between families, there is also a distinction between men and women.

The men would sit elsewhere. Wan Ge took Jiang Zixi, who was wearing clothes of the same color as her, to the place where the men were gathered, and told him to take care of himself. Then she went with the others to where she was supposed to go.

Wan Ge walked side by side with another adult, and at this moment, the adults around her began to tease, "So many men were looking at His Highness just now."

Wan Ge cleared her throat.

“My eldest son is of marriageable age. He is handsome and capable in both social and domestic settings. Would Your Highness consider him?” another minister spoke up.

Wan Ge slightly curved her lips: "Prime Minister Jiang is standing not far away."

At that one sentence, the other ministers' expressions changed slightly, and they cleared their throats as if they hadn't said anything at all.

Wan Ge spoke again: "I only wish to marry one person in my life. I will not have any other husbands besides Jiang Zixi. Thank you all for your kindness."

Wan Ge's voice wasn't loud, and it didn't seem like she was speaking to Prime Minister Jiang, even though he wasn't far away, he might not have been able to hear her. Wan Ge was speaking to them, and they understood.

"I've heard that the young master of Prime Minister Jiang's family is the most outstanding young master, but I still don't know what he looks like." When Wan Ge brought the person here just now, the other party was still wearing a veil. He only took off the veil when they arrived at the men's gathering.

Wan Ge replied, "A beauty that could topple kingdoms."

"Really? No wonder the prince is so enamored with her." The empress bestowed the marriage upon her, but only on the condition that she destroy the Jiangrong Kingdom and return in triumph. They all knew what kind of deal the other party had made.

Wan Ge's willingness to risk her life for a man was something they never expected.

To be honest, although most people seem extremely disdainful, they are mostly jealous. They are jealous of how deeply and openly she loves, and they are also jealous of her ability. She has truly achieved a triumphant return.

…

Such a celebration banquet is nothing special. Having attended all kinds of banquets before, Wan Ge is more than capable of handling this kind of banquet.

But unexpectedly, something happened to Jiang Zixi.
