As the time for the banquet drew closer, no one dared to chat anymore and sat down in their respective seats. When Wuling Marquis Fan Heng came on stage, everyone's eyes were on him.
Fan Heng is now very popular, and with his handsome appearance and good manners, he is the perfect choice for a husband.
But after Fan Heng sat down, his face was cold and he ignored the looks from those noble ladies.
Until Jiang Huai appeared, Fan Heng's eyes had been following her.
After Jiang Huai entered the hall, he looked around. The palace servant took Jiang Huai to the empty seat next to Fan Heng. Jiang Huai stopped and did not follow.
Qi Lan looked at Jiang Huai, and her emotions suddenly became high: "Jiang Huai, Jiang Huai, come here, there is an empty seat next to me, no one is sitting there."
Jiang Huai didn't hesitate and walked straight to the empty seat next to Qi Lan and sat down.
"Jiang Huai, you are finally here. My father brought me here early in the morning. I have been sitting here for so long, and finally someone who can talk to me has come."
Qi Lan pulled Jiang Huai aside to talk, and Jiang Huai responded with a smile.
Fan Ru watched Fan Lan call Jiang Huai away, and signaled her with her eyes not to get involved. Anyone with a keen eye could see what Fan Heng meant. Fan Lan had ruined Fan Heng's plans, and who knew how he would retaliate?
But Fan Lan seemed unable to understand Fan Heng's expression. She was not a fool. Fan Heng did like Jiang Huai, but Jiang Huai was going to marry Li Muyuan. How could he have anything to do with Fan Heng?
"Miss Qi and Miss Jiang seem to have a very harmonious relationship."
The moment Fan Heng opened his mouth, the entire hall fell silent. Qi Lan looked at Fan Heng, with a polite smile on her face: "Yes, this time I had the honor to be on a diplomatic mission to Western Xia together. I hit it off with General Jiang Huai, so our relationship naturally became harmonious."
Qi Ru couldn't help but interrupt Qi Lan: "Qian Lan, this is the imperial palace, you can't be petty. You have only known Miss Jiang for a short time, and Miss Jiang is from Xixia, so don't say such nonsense."
Qi Lan naturally understood the deep meaning of Fan Heng and Qi Ru's words, but she pretended not to understand: "General Jiang Huai was ordered to marry General Mu Yuan, and she will stay in our Dayu in the future. She came for the stability between Dayu and Xixia. How can we exclude her just because she is from Xixia?"
Qiuru really wanted to carry Qiulan away right now, but he couldn't bring himself to do it in front of so many people.
"Master, you are a person who can distinguish between what is important and what is unimportant. Now it seems that Miss, you are not as good as Master, in making the distinction." There was a hint of threat in Fan Heng's tone. Whoever dared to block his way would be left with no way out.
The entire hall fell into silence. Just as Jiang Huai was about to speak, Su Chenyu's voice suddenly rang out: "This princess thinks what Miss Qi said makes sense. Since General Jiang Huai has come to our Dayu, we should not treat her differently. Miss Qi, a woman, can be so compassionate, so how can Marquis Wuling be so stubborn?"
Su Chenyu and Baili Yanqing walked into the hall, and everyone stood up and saluted them.
Fan Heng stood up and shouted coldly, "Greetings to the princess and her husband."
After Su Chenyu and Baili Yanqing sat down, Fan Heng continued, "Princess, I am just being cautious."
"Then according to Marquis Wuling, there can be no talk of marriage. After all, those who come to marry are foreigners. How can we believe it?"
Fan Heng stared at Su Chenyu, unable to answer. Su Chenyu continued with a smile, "Marquis Wuling, you are not a legitimate marquis. If you don't understand these court affairs, don't get involved, lest you say something that makes people laugh and causes a dispute between the two countries."
