Xuan Yuanzhan and Su Xuening didn't even glance at Xuan Yuanyu. The two of them walked hand in hand to Xuan Yuanpeng.
Su Xuening bowed to Xuan Yuanpeng and said, "This humble woman greets Your Majesty."
Xuan Yuanzhan stood in front of Xuan Yuanpeng without reacting until Su Xuening tugged at his sleeve, at which point Xuan Yuanzhan gave a perfunctory nod to Xuan Yuanpeng.
Xuanyuan Peng was not angry with Xuanyuan Zhan; on the contrary, he was somewhat flattered.
Because of this relationship, Xuanyuan Zhan was never close to him or Ya'er from a young age.
He probably knows everything; he resents them!
Actually, the child was quite close to him before he turned three. Although he called him "Royal Uncle," the child liked him very much, and they were as close as father and son. The three of them lived happily together. But after the child became more aware of things...
He had seen the little things the young couple had done, and he had also noticed Xuan Yuanzhan's change in attitude. Suddenly, he felt like he had found the right wife for his son.
Previously, because of Xuanyuan Yu, he always felt that he had made a mistake in arranging a marriage, harming his two sons and making them suffer the same pain as him.
But judging from Xuan Yuanzhan's reaction now, he doesn't seem to be very resistant to the marriage, and he doesn't seem to be that distant from Su Xuening. On the contrary, he seems to listen to Su Xuening's advice quite a bit.
Perhaps his father-son relationship with Xuan Yuanzhan could be improved because of Su Xuening. If that's the case, then he really made the right choice in marrying this daughter-in-law.
"We've been waiting for you. Please take your seats." Xuanyuan Peng looked at the two of them kindly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Su Xuening bowed to Xuan Yuanpeng before sitting down with Xuan Yuanzhan in the head seat on the left.
Across from them, Xuan Yuan Yu stared intently at Xuan Yuan Zhan and Su Xue Ning, as if he were possessed.
Xuan Yuanzhan and Su Xuening, however, didn't look at Xuan Yuanyu at all, as if he didn't exist.
Seeing Xuan Yuan Yu's appearance, Xuan Yuan Peng also had a headache.
He's been whipped so many times before, but he still doesn't learn his lesson. I really don't know how to discipline him anymore.
Should we give him a few more women?
Xuanyuan Peng looked at Zong Jiu and asked him something. After hearing Zong Jiu's answer, Xuanyuan Peng looked disappointed again: "Then let's start the banquet."
"Yes," Zong Jiu replied, and then ordered the banquet to begin.
Xuanyuan Zhan wasn't particularly interested in the food in the palace.
However, he still actively served food to Su Xuening. Because Su Xuening had an injury on her face and couldn't touch shrimp and crab, Xuan Yuanzhan would considerately serve her other dishes.
Su Xuening wasn't hungry; the atmosphere in the main hall was simply too much for her. However, she still ate some of the food that Xuan Yuanzhan served her.
The young couple's interaction was particularly eye-catching in the main hall.
Su Feiling never expected that Su Xuening would win over Xuan Yuanzhan so quickly. She was amazed that the woman-averse Xuan Yuanzhan would serve her so attentively. Su Xuening was truly a vixen; no man could escape her clutches.
Looking at Xuan Yuan Yu beside her, whose entire attention was on Su Xue Ning, Su Fei Ling felt even more resentful.
Xuan Yuan Yu stared intently at the opposite side, seeing Xuan Yuan Zhan continuously serving food to Su Xue Ning, while Su Xue Ning kept eating the food that Xuan Yuan Zhan picked up for her.
The sight of the two so affectionately provoked Xuan Yuan Yu, who finally couldn't help but ask, "Why is Ning'er wearing a veil today?"
As soon as Xuanyuan Yu spoke, the entire hall fell silent.
Xuan Yuanpeng's face stiffened, somewhat embarrassed. Xuan Yuanduo and Xuan Yuanzhi, on the other hand, wore expressions of schadenfreude, waiting to see a good show. Zhao Zhenzhen and Su Feiling's faces turned green in unison, their expressions quite fascinating.
Xuan Yuanzhan's temples throbbed, his face visibly darkened, and he glared at Xuan Yuanyu, ready to curse, but Su Xuening pulled him back.
Su Xuening didn't curse anyone, but looked at Xuan Yuan Yu and said, "Your Highness asked for medicine for me. I am treating my face. I was afraid that the medicine would frighten people if I put it on my face, so I am wearing a veil. Please forgive me, Third Cousin."
Su Xuening's use of the term "third cousin" successfully darkened Xuan Yuan Yu's face, while simultaneously brightening Xuan Yuan Zhan's expression.
But Su Xuening wasn't finished: "Although I was my third cousin's cousin before, I am now his cousin's wife. It is inappropriate for my third cousin to call me by my maiden name anymore. I hope my third cousin will have some self-respect!"
Her cold and aloof voice remained as unapproachable as ever, and Xuan Yuan Yu's heart was shattered by her words and attitude.
Xuanyuan Yu stared at Su Xuening with bloodshot eyes, as if he couldn't believe she could be so heartless towards him.
His expression was exactly like that of a wronged woman abandoned by a heartless man. Xuan Yuanzhan couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw Xuan Yuanyu's self-deluded expression.
The couple ignored Xuan Yuan Yu, but they also lost their appetite.
Apart from them, no one else seemed to be in the mood for the banquet; almost no one touched their chopsticks.
Xuanyuan Yu, on the other hand, seemed to have been stimulated by something, drinking one cup after another.
Looking at his sons below, Xuanyuan Peng felt that this banquet was utterly boring, no wonder Ya'er didn't want to come.
Halfway through the meal, Xuan Yuanzhan couldn't sit still any longer and put down his wine cup, saying, "I'm full."
After saying that, Xuan Yuanzhan pulled Su Xuening away.
Su Xuening was quite polite; before being pulled away, she bowed to Xuan Yuanpeng and said, "This humble woman takes her leave."
Xuanyuan Peng looked at the two who left their seats with a face full of helplessness.
Before he could finish his reflection, Xuanyuan Yu ran off with Xuanyuan Zhan and the others.
By the time Xuanyuan Peng wanted to reprimand him, the person had already disappeared.
Xuanyuan Peng was getting anxious; he knew that if Xuanyuan Yu followed him out like this, something bad was bound to happen.
He glanced at Xuan Yuanduo and Xuan Yuanzhi, who were craning their necks to look outside: "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and go out and see!"
"Yes." Xuan Yuanduo and Xuan Yuanzhi had originally wanted to go out and watch the excitement, and upon hearing Xuan Yuanpeng's words, they immediately got up and followed him out.
"Your subject takes his leave."
Zhao Zhenzhen and Su Feiling were also worried about Xuan Yuan Yu, so they also got up and took their leave.
After everyone else had left, only Xuanyuan Peng and his two daughters-in-law, Wei Jinyun and Liu Hanyan, remained.
Xuanyuan Peng was speechless and slammed his chopsticks onto the table.
This banquet is no longer safe to eat!
He couldn't very well have a family dinner with his two daughters-in-law by himself, so Xuanyuan Peng also let Wei Jinyun and Liu Hanyan go out.
Outside Chengqian Palace.
Just as Xuan Yuanzhan was about to go to the Second Palace Gate with Su Xuening, Xuan Yuanyu caught up with him.
"Xuanyuan Zhan, let her go!" Xuanyuan Yu caught up with the two, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at Xuanyuan Zhan holding Su Xuening's hand.
He was insanely jealous from the moment they entered Chengqian Palace hand in hand!
How could he hold her hand like that? He hadn't even touched her hand since she grew up. What right did he, Xuan Yuan Zhan, have to touch her hand?!
