The moment Wan Ge saw him, she could tell that he wasn't in a good mood. And it was related to her; hadn't she just finished chatting with Ning Lu? How did their conversation reach his ears so quickly?
It has to be said that the feeling of being monitored all the time is really not good.
…
The moment Wan Ge appeared, many people wondered what the meaning of her outfit was. Although she was the only one in Qi Yan's harem, she was not the empress, and it was against the rules for her to wear jewelry that only empresses could wear.
But since she was brought out by Qi Yan, it proves that Qi Yan knew about it and gave his permission.
No one dared to say it was against the rules, but the two men present both had their eyes on Wan Ge the moment she appeared.
One of them was Nian Chengze. He looked at the girl who had just told him she had someone she liked not long ago, and in the blink of an eye she became the emperor's concubine. He didn't know whether to feel sorry for her or happy for her.
The other was a young, handsome man sitting in the envoy's seat. He was happy when he saw Wan Ge, but then seemed to realize something, and his happiness turned into disappointment.
Qi Yan saw both men. He knew Nian Chengze quite well; he had been rejected when Nian Chengze proposed to him recently. And the other one…
Qi Yan knew he was a prince from a neighboring country who had been sent to a martial arts sect when he was young. Wait… could he be in the same sect as Wan Ge, and they were in love? Was he the one Wan Ge loved?
But... Qi Yan looked at the woman beside him, who seemed lost in thought and didn't even glance at him, and he felt that this shouldn't be the case.
Finally, the men, representing their respective nations, presented Qi Yan with New Year's gifts. However, their gazes involuntarily fell upon Wan Ge.
Wan Ge frowned slightly, wondering why he kept staring at her.
…
During the banquet, Vice Minister Song finally saw his daughter, but before he could say a word to her, someone shouted: "The young master of Vice Minister Song's family got into a fight with the young marquis and fell into the water."
The young master is the son of the current Madam Song. Although they are half-sisters, the young master still loves his older sister very much and respects her greatly. Therefore, the two siblings have a good relationship.
After hearing the news, Wan Ge went with the others, and Qi Yan followed beside her.
Wan Ge took the cloak handed to her by the guard, wrapped the person in it, and told someone to go change their clothes. The young marquis had also fallen into the water, but by this time he was already wrapped up, holding a thermos, and someone was drying his hair, as if afraid he would catch a cold.
Wan Ge looked up at the other person, and her face instantly turned cold.
The relationship between Vice Minister Song and the Marquis has never been good, so the young Marquis has always disliked the Song family. Today, when he saw Wan Ge's outfit at the banquet, he made a few sarcastic remarks, which were overheard by the young master Song at the next table.
Young Master Song could not allow others to speak ill of his sister, so he argued with him. In the end, the young marquis pushed him into the pond. However, the young master Song was not so easily bullied and pulled him down into the pond with him.
It's Lunar New Year's Eve, a time when it's very cold. Although it rarely snows in their capital, it's still quite cold. You can imagine what it would feel like to fall into a lake in the dead of winter.
