Chapter 603: You haven’t gotten married yet, so it doesn’t count!
Jiang Wan's eyelids jumped. Thinking of the way the Fifth Princess had targeted her just now, Jiang Wan's eyes fell dimly on Song Jiuyuan's face.
Song Jiuyuan, just wait!
Song Jiuyuan felt a little flustered when he was looked at and explained hurriedly.
"Wanwan, there is nothing between her and me."
Jiang Wan snorted lightly without looking at him, and Song Jiuyuan's mouth curled up.
"Wanwan, just wait and see. I don't need to do anything. Some people are against this marriage."
He spoke with certainty, and after Jiang Wan thought about it carefully, she understood what he meant. Sure enough, the dog emperor seemed a little hesitant.
"Xiaowu, you go ahead."
"I am fond of Song Jiuyuan."
The Fifth Princess' shy eyes fell on Song Jiuyuan's face, seemingly filled with infinite affection.
Before the emperor could speak, Concubine Xiao interrupted and said, "Song Jiuyuan has already married a wife."
"I heard that they got divorced."
The Fifth Princess looked at Jiang Wan provocatively, but to her disappointment, she did not see Jiang Wan panicking.
Could it be that the rumors are wrong and Jiang Wan doesn’t like Song Jiuyuan?
"oh?"
The Queen Mother looked at Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan with interest, "Jiuyuan, is this really the case?"
"yes."
Song Jiuyuan stood up and bowed slightly. Before he could continue to cultivate the land, the Fifth Princess could not wait to say:
"Father, look, since he has already divorced, he is a free man and a perfect match for me."
Everyone knew that she didn't necessarily like Song Jiuyuan that much, she was just fighting for her brother, the Second Prince.
Concubine Xiao was naturally worried that they would join forces, so she hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty, Song Jiuyuan has been divorced, and the Fifth Princess is still a virgin..."
emperor:……
Taking this opportunity, Song Jiuyuan hurriedly bowed and said:
"Your Majesty, I haven't finished talking about what I said just now. When Wanwan married me,
It was because I did not cherish her enough, so Wanwan wanted to test me and divorced me.
Now I am engaged to Wanwan again, and she has always been my legal wife."
These sour words made Jiang Wan feel sweet inside.
But the fifth princess refused to accept, "You haven't gotten married yet, so it doesn't count!"
"Fifth Princess, a forced melon is not sweet."
Concubine Xiao exchanged a look with the Sixth Prince, even though her son had no chance for the time being.
She will also try to cure his son, and if that doesn't work, she will push her future grandson to take the throne!
"grandmother!"
The fifth princess trotted forward and took the Queen Mother's arm, "But my granddaughter really likes the prince."
She was the Queen Mother's favorite princess and was used to it.
The Queen Mother opened her mouth to say something, but then she thought of the bottle of resurrection pill Jiang Wan had given her, so she gently patted the back of the Fifth Princess's hand and said soothingly:
"You are still young, this matter cannot be rushed, I will discuss it with your father in detail."
The mother of the second prince and the fifth princess is the empress dowager's niece. Even though she is no longer around, she still values the children born to her niece the most.
Jiang Wan watched the infighting among the royal family with cold eyes. It seemed that what Song Jiuyuan said was right. Kyoto would not be peaceful for long.
Concubine Xiao quickly said, "Fifth Princess, the Queen Mother loves you the most and will definitely choose a husband for you."
“It’s really messy.”
Jiang Wan clicked his tongue and his eyes fell on the row of princes not far away.
The current emperor has four sons and five daughters, and the eldest princess has been married to a distant relative.
The princesses of marriageable age are the third princess, the fifth princess and the seventh princess. As for the ninth princess, she is not yet ten years old.
The Second Prince and the Sixth Prince had grudges against them, so Jiang Wan's attention was focused on the Fourth Prince and the Eighth Prince.
The Fourth Prince kept smiling gently, perhaps because he felt that Song Jiuyuan and Jiang Wan were looking at him, he even gave them a friendly smile.
"This Fourth Prince is probably a smiling tiger."
Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan whispered to each other. Song Jiuyuan did not deny Jiang Wan's words, but just said:
"Sometimes the more sincere the person's smile is, the more you should be careful."
This is Song Jiuyuan's evaluation of the Fourth Prince. Such a person is indeed more suitable to be the superior.
Next, Jiang Wan's eyes fell on the face of the Eighth Prince, who was the youngest prince.
Compared to the Second Prince who has the support of the Queen Mother and the Sixth Prince who has the support of Concubine Xiao and the Emperor, the Fourth Prince has a powerful maternal family.
Only the Eighth Prince was only fourteen years old. What surprised Jiang Wan even more was that he was wearing a mask.
"What's with the mask on the Eighth Prince's face?"
Jiang Wan looked puzzled, and Song Jiuyuan explained for her, "The Eighth Prince almost died in a fire when he was young.
So there are flaws in his appearance, which is one of the reasons why the ministers do not support him."
"I see."
Jiang Wan tapped the table lightly with her fingertips, lost in thought.
After all, the Empress Dowager was old and the Emperor was in poor health, so they didn't stay for long and left.
Without the Empress Dowager and the Emperor's pressure, everyone felt a little more relaxed.
On such occasions, the young men and women from each family were extremely active.
After all, this is a rare opportunity to meet each other.
The Queen had to take charge of the situation, but Concubine Xiao was not willing to be outdone and added fuel to the fire.
In a short while, they arranged several more marriages.
"Isn't this just a random matchmaking?"
Jiang Wan twitched her lips speechlessly. She realized that the couple she had been attracted to was now separated by them.
The Queen and Concubine Xiao fought silently, and the little girls who were affected were almost crying.
"They are just planning for their own family members."
Song Jiuyuan raised the corner of his mouth in a mocking manner, feeling a little depressed.
Jiang Wan did the same. She suddenly stood up and said, "I'm going to the toilet."
"Slow down."
After Song Jiuyuan gave a few instructions, Jiang Wan took Qiu Yan and quietly left the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
There is a garden next to the Hall of Supreme Harmony. When Jiang Wan passed by, she couldn't help but enter the pavilion.
"Girl, this palace looks like a place where people are eaten."
Qiu Yan patted her chest. Today she was really enlightened. She was stunned by the words of these people.
"Your description is quite apt."
Jiang Wan didn't expect Qiu Yan to see so clearly. She looked at the fish playing in the garden lake and said:
"The women in this palace are like fish in this water. There are many fish but few baits. Those who survive are all capable."
So even though Jiang Wan was very confident, she would never look down on anyone in the palace.
Qiu Yan nodded in understanding, her eyes falling on the figure approaching not far away.
"Girl, the Queen is here."
"It seems like someone has been waiting for this day for a long time."
Jiang Wan turned around with a smile, the smile in her eyes disappeared, and then she saluted Qiu Yan politely.
"The Queen."
When the Queen came, she only brought a palace maid with her. She asked someone to stand outside the pavilion and walked in quickly.
"Wanwan, get up quickly."
The Queen gently helped Jiang Wan up and said, "I've always wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Wanwan alone."
"Qiu Yan, go over there and wait for me first."
Jiang Wan was not stupid. She gave Qiu Yan a look, and Qiu Yan bowed slightly and left the pavilion.
"Your Highness, please speak frankly."
Jiang Wan was sitting in the pavilion with the Queen. The Queen's sudden show of goodwill made Jiang Wan particularly curious about her purpose.
