As the person sitting in the highest position, Yan Heng naturally had to maintain a proper demeanor at all times, and could not possibly behave as he did in private with the other two.

Seeing that Jiang Tian ignored him, he had no choice but to keep quiet for now.

The palace banquet had not been going on for long when the dancers began their performance.

The dancer's movements were so graceful that almost everyone present was mesmerized.

Yan Heng didn't look at it much; he kept looking at Jiang Tian.

Seeing her staring intently, he sneered inwardly.

Just then, a palace servant added a dish to Yan Heng's plate. This dish was reserved for the emperor; even the prime minister was not entitled to eat it unless it was a gift from the emperor.

When Yan Heng saw that the dish suited Jiang Tian's taste, he immediately ordered the palace servants to bring the dish to Jiang Tian without hesitation.

Seeing that it was someone she liked, Jiang Tian finally deigned to look at Yan Heng. She was quite sensible and gave him a joyful smile.

Yan Heng snorted coldly in his heart again.

He knew that this woman was "profit-driven".

When Yan Heng saw any dishes that were suitable for Jiang Tian to eat, he sent them to her.

Since he hosted the palace banquet, it naturally went through layers of checks, and Yan Heng was confident that no one would dare to tamper with his food.

It was precisely because he could guarantee the safety of the palace banquet that he brought Jiang Tian to the banquet; otherwise, why would he joke about Jiang Tian and their child?

Although the interaction between the two was discreet, these ministers were already quite shrewd.

Their greatest skill is guessing the emperor's thoughts.

So many delicacies from land and sea, yet the Emperor couldn't bear to touch a single one, placing them all before that lady. Such favor is indeed not to be underestimated.

Xu Jingxiu had been watching Jiang Tian the whole time, so he naturally took in all of this.

His throat tasted slightly fishy.

With Yan Heng doting on Jiang Tian so much, will he ever have a chance to rise in the world?

Wei Zhirou was also watching, and she was equally focused.

Xu Jingxiu was focused on his future career, while Wei Zhirou was focused on Jiang Tian's happiness.

You can tell whether a woman is happy or not just by looking at her complexion.

Both of them were pregnant, but Wei Zhirou hadn't had a good night's sleep for days.

The doting affection her husband once showed her has vanished.

Xu Jingxiu would rather be drunk in his study than come to see his child.

Wei Zhirou knew in her heart that he was anxious, but the child was the continuation of their bloodline, and his lack of attention to it made her heart ache.

Poor eating and sleeping habits, coupled with pregnancy, made Wei Zhirou look at herself in the mirror and realize that she was becoming uglier and uglier.

That delicate young girl from before has long since disappeared.

Wei Zhirou even dreamed that wrinkles appeared at the corners of her eyes.

And what about Jiang Tian?

She is already twenty-two years old, and after today, she will be twenty-three.

But looking at her gentle and beautiful appearance, with a smile as bright as a flower, who would guess that her daughter is already so grown up?

She must be living a very comfortable life, her eyes and brows are full of ease and contentment.

Wei Zhirou gripped her fingertips tightly. She knew she shouldn't compare herself to Jiang Tian, ​​but she couldn't suppress the bitterness in her heart.

At the palace banquet, Jiang Tian ate to her heart's content and also enjoyed the feast for the eyes, looking very happy.

Although Yan Heng felt a little jealous, he was in a good mood.

He personally oversaw the entire palace banquet; Jiang Tian's happiness brought him joy as well.

After the palace banquet ended, Yan Heng took Jiang Tian back home.

He did not hide it from others.

The sight of the two walking away hand in hand drew all sorts of glances.

Similarly, Xu Jingxiu, as the ex-husband, was also stung by the ambiguous gazes from all directions.

The fact that Jiang Tian is doing so well now only highlights how badly he is doing.

Yan Heng has not held him accountable so far, but Xu Jingxiu is becoming more and more troubled every day.

After the New Year, he should return to the border.
