"Grandmother, this jade pendant is a gift from your grandson to Princess Changle." Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan stepped forward to answer before Jiang Xue.

"Did you give it to you?" The Queen Mother turned her gaze to him.

Jiang Xue didn't say a word, but stood quietly aside, her eyes calm and without any wavering inner feelings. Seeing this, Xiao Yan mistakenly thought that she had accepted the reality, and the smugness in his eyes became even stronger.

He took a few steps forward and bowed respectfully to the Queen Mother, "Grandmother, Princess Changle is both talented and beautiful. Ever since the Plum Blossom Banquet, my grandson has been infatuated with her.

"My grandson believes that Princess Changle is worthy of the position of the mistress of Prince Duan's mansion in terms of both status and talent and appearance, so I present her with a personal jade pendant. I would like to take advantage of today's birthday banquet to double the happiness and ask my grandson to fulfill my wish."

Xiao Yan's every word revolved around himself, and he did not mention Jiang Xue's thoughts. He knelt down and begged only to satisfy his own wishes.

Jiang Xue felt nothing but contempt for this person.

"Empress Dowager, Mo Ran has mentioned to me before that he admires Princess Changle very much. Not long ago, he specially invited her to go boating on the lake." Lin Wan also added fuel to the fire. As long as her son married Jiang Xue, their lives would be much better.

Haha, how funny! Jiang Xue secretly mocked in her heart, it was clearly Lu Linyi who went boating that time, but now he is making up stories to ask for marriage without regard for the facts! This mother and son have really mastered this skill.

"Mo Ran, do you really like Chang Le?" Emperor Bei Ling looked at his son with a gloomy face. Jiang Xue was the one in his plan, but he didn't expect his son to ask for marriage in public!

If he really married Jiang Xue, then he would have no share! On ordinary days, Xiao Yan might be afraid of Emperor Beiling, but when he thought that Jiang Xue's empire and the Tieyun Army behind her would belong to him, Xiao Yan became more determined and ignored Emperor Beiling's warnings.

"Yes, my son is indeed in love with Princess Changle. Please, Father and Grandmother, grant my blessing!"

"Ask Brother Shui what you want to do!" Xiao Min grabbed Jun Li who was standing up and asked angrily in a low voice.

Jun Li stared at Xiao Yan's back, wishing he could pierce through his heart! He wanted to marry Jiang Xue! He wanted to take her away right under his nose!

Jun Li was filled with murderous intent. He had never thought that Jiang Xue would be taken away from him in this way! He wanted to get rid of Xiao Yan!

He had been looking forward to this from the bottom of his heart!

"Queen Mother, Mo Ran is truly sincere to Chang Le, please help them to be together."

Lin Wan was encouraging them vigorously, hoping that the Queen Mother would grant the marriage right away.

The empress dowager glanced at her sideways without saying a word. She just touched the jade pendant and moved her eyes from her to the cheerful Xiao Zhan beside her.

"Grandmother, please look carefully to see whose family this jade pendant belongs to."

Xiao Zhan walked forward slowly and stopped in front of Jiang Xue. The two smiled at each other. This guy really has a good timing.

If she didn't speak up, she was going to stand up on her own. Jiang Xue muttered about Xiao Zhan's bones in her heart and stood next to Xiao Yan.

Jun Li was stunned. She and Xiao Zhan...their tacit smiles, their movements, every move, were so perfectly coordinated!

Gradually, jealousy and envy filled my heart.

Jiang Xue, you have never given me that kind of tacit smile!

"Yun Che, you guys..."

The Queen Mother looked at the two children and felt that they were a perfect match.

He ran his fingertips across the inscription on the back of the jade pendant and looked at it carefully.

Engraved on it are the two words "Yun Che".

"Old Four, what are you doing? Get out of here!"

Xiao Yan glared at Xiao Zhan with dissatisfaction, wanting him to stop blocking his way.

"Don't be anxious, Third Brother. Let's first listen to what the Imperial Grandmother has to say."

Xiao Zhan fanned himself slowly, looking at the empress dowager with a smile, not giving Xiao Yan any face at all.

"This jade pendant belongs to Yun Che."

The Queen Mother turned the jade pendant over and placed it on the table. The two words "Yun Che" in the lower right corner were glaring and heartbreaking, and Xiao Yan felt uncomfortable.

"How could this happen! It's obviously mine..." Xiao Yan shouted.

"Third brother, I'm afraid I remembered it wrongly. Your jade pendant fell on the road. Fourth brother found it and was planning to return it to you today."

Xiao Zhan interrupted and took out Xiao Yan's jade pendant from his arms.

As soon as he stood next to Jiang Xue, he quietly changed the jade pendant to pave the way for this moment.

I had already discussed it with Jiang Xue. Instead of waiting passively for Emperor Beiling to bring her into the palace, it would be better to use Xiao Yan's opportunity to let Jiang Xue marry into Prince Gong's Mansion.

In this way, she could avoid Xiao Yan and prevent Emperor Beiling from targeting Jiang Xue.

As it happened, Chang's birthday was already prepared, and their horoscopes matched, so the marriage went smoothly.

"Third brother, the jade pendant is precious, please don't lose it again. Fortunately, it was picked up by fourth brother. If someone else had picked it up, wouldn't your reputation be ruined?"

Funny words make people laugh, but Xiao Yan doesn't have that kind of mood.

He snatched the jade pendant and glared at Xiao Zhan. The cooked duck flew away. How could he swallow his anger!

"Yun Che, did you really give this jade pendant to Chang Le?"

"The Queen Mother asked.

"Yes, Grandmother, Yun Che gave it to me." Xiao Zhan nodded: "Princess Changle is both talented and beautiful, and she is very smart. Who wouldn't be attracted to her? Yun Che is an ordinary man, but he also has feelings for her. Besides, everyone knows that Yun Che likes beautiful women, so it's not surprising that he likes Princess Changle."

The story was told vividly and amused the Queen Mother.

"Changle, what do you think?" the Queen Mother asked Jiang Xue.

After all, marriage is up to the woman. The Queen Mother likes Jiang Xue and will not ignore her wishes.

"This is a lifelong event for a woman, and she needs to communicate with her homeland before she can break off the relationship. However, since you are far away in another country, I can accept your love for the time being."

Although she didn't know why it had come to this, she had no objection based on the fact that Xiao Zhan was Jing Ye.

The real Xiao Zhan was accidentally killed by the former crown prince of Beiling when he rebelled. Except for the former crown prince, no one knew that Xiao Zhan was dead.

Jing Ye has been living under Xiao Zhan's identity for so long that people have long believed that he is the prince of Beiling. Now Jing Ye, the regent of Qian Kingdom, is pretended to be Ji Yan.

This cunning and treacherous regent is really ambitious, but judging from the situation, she is going to get married again.

"Very good," the Queen Mother smiled with narrowed eyes.

She always felt guilty towards Xiao Zhan because her life experience had caused him to suffer.

The emperor had always ignored him and never thought of him when there was anything good. But she knew it in her heart, and in order to save the emperor's face, she could not help him openly.

But this time, it was a lifelong event, and she was determined to intervene and help. Even if it was the emperor, she would not dare to say anything wrong. This boy smiled all day long, but she knew in her heart that very few people could enter Xiao Zhan's heart.

Ever since the incident with the former Crown Prince Xiao Sheng, his smile had faded even more, which made her, an old lady, feel very distressed. This time, he finally fell in love with a girl, so how could she, an old lady, just sit there and watch!

“Your Majesty, Yun Che and Chang Le are in love with each other, so let’s fulfill their wish. Please issue an edict immediately to grant them a marriage, and I will pick an auspicious day for them tomorrow. Consider this as the birthday gift I asked Your Majesty for.”

The old lady's face was filled with joy and she was in high spirits. She asked Mo Yan to prepare the almanac and go back to read it after the birthday banquet was over.
