Seeing the light smile on Yan Yuan's face, his attention was not on the matters that the officials were discussing, but on the topic that they were joking about.
The corner of Liu Ruo Qing's lips twitched, and she quietly retracted her gaze.
However, she still couldn't help but take notice of the look in Yun Ai's eyes.
"Grand Preceptor Pang, everyone, please do not make fun of Yun Ai, how could Yun Ai be so good?"
If it was really that good, then why was the King Jing's older brother's reaction so calm when his mother had betrothed her to King Jing's older brother? Now, he had even married another woman and wasn't even willing to look at her face.
After the death of the Divine Martial Empress, the Empress Dowager had raised Yun Ai under her knees as her daughter.
He had originally thought that by calling her mother, she would be able to change her identity. But in the blink of an eye, everything had changed.
In the eyes of the Divine Martial Realm, a few traces of uneasiness flowed down.
So what if he had a world-shocking appearance? The people on his mind didn't want to admire him, it was just an empty piece of skin.
"Yun Ai, you don't have to be so modest, of course you're so good, if you weren't, how could mother have been worried about you, and even betrothed you to my Ninth Brother."
At this time, the one who spoke was Yan Chang.
Her words instantly dropped a bomb during the joyous and harmonious palace banquet. At the same time that everyone was shaken by her words, a moment of silence passed.
Everyone's gaze turned to Yan Yuan, and on his face, the smile that was originally on him disappeared, replaced by a bone-piercing coldness that shot towards Yan Chang's face.
Yan Chang was frightened by Yan Yuan's expression, but, after all, what he said was the truth, so what if her royal brother was angry at her, at most, it was to prevent her from entering the King Jing Palace, and she was afraid that he wouldn't be able to kill her.
Besides, this engagement was made by the Queen Mother. It's not like she was spouting nonsense!
The reason why she didn't like Liu Tian Xin was so that she wouldn't feel at ease.
After Yan Chang said this, all of the officials' smiles froze. No one dared to reply, especially when they saw Yan Yuan's terrifying expression.
Yan Yuan never thought that the so called marriage between him and Yun Ai would be thrown out without any warning on an occasion like this. At the same time, his expression turned cold, and in his heart, he suddenly panicked.
Back then, Eighth Brother had said it before, this matter was honestly said by him, maybe it was not a big problem, but unfortunately, he had not found the chance to, adding that he did not take the matter between him and Yun Ai to heart, he did not deliberately bring it up.
Who would have thought that Yan Chang, this careless thing, would actually cause trouble for him at this time.
At present, it was not the time for him to take responsibility towards Yan Chang after all, but …
His gaze turned towards Liu Ruo Qing. He saw her holding a wine cup, calmly drinking the osmanthus wine in front of her, as if the matter with Yan Chang just now had not affected her in the slightest.
She was even calmer than the surrounding people. The fact that this matter was unrelated to her, made Yan Yuan even more flustered.
Her calmness was a bit too abnormal. There was not the slightest bit of emotion in her eyes.
Yun Ai also realized that this situation was a little strange. The empress dowager, emperor, and the officials did not look too good. She could imagine how angry Yan Yuan would be right now.
Even if these words came from Yan Chang's mouth, but as the person in question, she could not escape her responsibility.
Although it was normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, let alone a famed Prince Jing.
However, it was never a good thing to talk about this in front of the Crown Princess Jing.
Furthermore, with her status as the Divine Martial Yun Ai, how could she marry into the King Jing Palace as a concubine?
Yun Ai frowned, and could not help but curse Yan Chang in his heart for not having a brain.
It's fine if I don't have a brain, but if I let her bring me along, I wonder if King Jing's older brother will reject her even more.
Yan Chang, this idiot, was already seventeen years old, and was still a few months older than her.
If not for the fact that she was the royal princess, such a foolish brain would have died hundreds of times already.
Shen Wu Yun Ai cursed in her heart.
Seeing that Yan Yuan's face was getting more and more unsightly, Yun Ai immediately spoke out in a timely manner, "These are all just mother's words, and are not worth it. Yan Chang, stop joking with me."
She quietly pulled at the corner of Yan Chang's clothes, but Yan Chang seemed to not have noticed it at all, or it could be said that she did not plan to stop just like that.
She didn't believe that this bitch Liu Tian Xin would really be indifferent, so she decided to pretend.
Yan Chang looked at the other party's calm face and even did not react to the words that she said, as if they had nothing to do with her. A few ridicule flowed out from Yan Chang's heart.
"I am not joking. The Queen Mother said so in front of many people that year. The Great Emperor personally said that he would grant you a marriage. Wasn't Ninth Brother present at that time?"
Yan Chang rolled his eyes, his gaze following those of the Grand Preceptor Pang and Prime Minister Wang Shi who were seated in the lead.
"At that time, the Grand Preceptor Pang and the King were both present, and I wasn't the only one who heard it.
"Stop talking, Yan Chang."
Yun Ai frowned, wanting to stop Yan Chang from continuing.
But perhaps Yan Chang was addicted, especially when he saw the King and Grand Preceptor Pang in such a difficult situation, he became proud of themselves.
Even if Liu Tian Xin didn't care about this matter, she would make her scram from her position in the Crown Princess Jing.
"What's wrong, Yun Ai, what are you afraid of? Your identity is more honorable than some people, your position in the Crown Princess Jing should be..."
"Enough! Yan Chang! "
Finally, Yan Yuan did not care about the entire imperial court, and directly roared at Yan Chang, his gloomy and cold eyes released a sharp light, as though in the next second, he would throw Yan Chang out from the palace banquet.
However, when she thought about how Yan Yuan had made her feel wronged because of him, her fear turned into fury. At the same time, she glared at Liu Ruo Qing who had not spoken a single word.
"If you dare to say another word, This King will tear your mouth apart!"
Yan Yuan's words did not have the slightest hint of a joke. The officials did not expect Yan Yuan to be so angry, even at this official's banquet, in front of the emperor's empress dowager and all the other officials.
Yan Chang had always known that for Liu Ruo Qing's sake, he would never give her any face, but before, she had only seen anger in his eyes, and this time, there was undisguised killing intent.
