At the Song Palace, everyone had gathered in the banquet hall, awaiting the arrival of Emperor Xuanyuan’s niece, Xuanyuan Yueyao.

Shangguan Qingyin sat alone in the second head seat because her husband, Song Zhentian, was busy managing imperial affairs with several ministers.

Song Tianzun and Huangfu Meizhen were already seated side by side on the right side of the table, but Song Tianlin still hadn’t shown up.

To the left of the table, several people sat side by side, and they were members of the Song Royal Kingdom. Song Tiankun, Liao Yexue, and their son, Song Chenglin, sat in a row.

After the four people, a middle-aged man, a middle-aged woman, and a young woman sat in a row. They were Song Yuzhen, Zhao Tiancheng, and Zhao Xuenning.

Song Yuzhen was the little sister of Song Zhentian and Song Tiankun; she married Zhao Tiancheng, and they had a daughter named Zhao Xuenning. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

*Tap... Tap...*

Everyone present at the place looked at Song Tianlin, who had just arrived, with Zhan Yiran walking beside him confidently.

Shangguan Qingyin nodded in satisfaction after she noticed that Zhan Yiran was no longer a virgin, which proved her plan was successful.

Song Tianzun and Huangfu Meizhen exchanged glances for a moment before laughing to themselves, looking at Song Tianlin’s expression. They were certain that Zhan Yiran had successfully subdued the second prince; otherwise, he wouldn’t have shown such an expression.

Song Tiankun and Liao Yexue looked at Song Tianlin and Zhan Yiran with raised eyebrows, but their expressions returned to normal a second later. Meanwhile, their son continued to stare at the woman, occasionally licking his lips.

Song Yuzhen curiously looked at Song Tianlin and Zhan Yiran, but her gaze showed gentleness. She whispered to her husband, Zhao Tiancheng, with a meaningful smile on her face.

Zhao Tiancheng smiled faintly and nodded in agreement with Song Yuzhen; he could see that Song Tianlin and Zhan Yiran had become a couple according to his brother-in-law and sister-in-law’s expectations.

Zhao Xuenning briefly glanced at Song Tianlin, but her gaze was filled with contempt. She averted her gaze again, unbothered by his presence.

Zhan Yiran noticed Song Chenglin’s perverted gaze on her and his action of licking his lips, but she couldn’t care less about him and snorted softly.

After they sat down beside Song Tianzun and Huangfu Meizhen, Zhan Yiran immediately spoke to Shangguan Qingyin. "Mother-in-law, our plan worked."

Song Tianlin’s face darkened after hearing that, and he finally realized the conspiracy between Shangguan Qingyin and Zhan Yiran, but he didn’t dare to protest to his mother.

"I’ve noticed it." Shangguan Qingyin looked at her second son. "Tianlin, Yiran is your woman now, so you have to treat her well. You have to spend more time with her, and you have to reduce your activities outside. Do you understand?"

’Tch! My mother deliberately pushed me into this kind of situation!’ Song Tianlin said nothing and nodded at his mother.

"Hehe," Zhan Yiran chuckled before speaking to Huangfu Meizhen. "I still can’t believe we’re going to be in-laws, Meizhen. You’ve kept your relationship with my brother-in-law well-hidden for decades, and I would never have noticed if it weren’t for our mother-in-law."

Huangfu Meizhen smiled faintly. "Actually, we hadn’t planned to reveal our relationship to the public, and we wanted to wait a few more years, but the situation forced us to."

"Haha! Whatever happened, your relationship is out in the open now, and I have to congratulate you." Then, Zhan Yiran teased Song Tianzun. "Brother-in-law, Meizhen is a good woman, and she has many fans out there. Thus, you must treat her well, or she will run off to another man’s arms."

"Do you think they’ll dare to accept her, Yiran?" Song Tianzun asked with a smile, rubbing Huangfu Meizhen’s hand.

"Haha," Zhan Yiran laughed. "Of course, they won’t dare accept her after they find out about her relationship with you, Brother-in-law."

Song Tiankun looked at Zhan Yiran with an ill look. "Young Miss Zhan, you must pay attention to your words."

"So?" Zhan Yiran shrugged. "My mother-in-law is with us now, and she doesn’t care about my behavior, so why should you care?"

"You—"

"Enough!" Shangguan Qingyin glared at Song Tiankun. "Brother-in-law, you don’t need to teach my daughter-in-law how to behave, and you should focus more on your son’s behavior. Do you think I don’t know about your son’s actions out there? Do I have to spell them out one by one?"

Song Tiankun’s face darkened and his anger overflowed, but Liao Yexue immediately grabbed his hand to calm him down. He took a deep breath and said nothing more, but he glanced at Zhan Yiran several times with a murderous gaze.

On the other hand, Song Chenglin stiffened after his aunt said that, and he just realized that King Song and Queen Shangguan already knew all his actions out there.

"So, when are you two getting married?" Song Yuzhen asked Song Tianlin and Zhan Yiran.

Song Tianlin didn’t want to answer his aunt’s question because he never had any plans to get married, but his mother intentionally pushed him into such a situation.

Zhan Yiran smiled. "Aunt Yuzhen, I’ve wanted to marry Tianlin for a long time, but my brother-in-law hasn’t gotten married yet, so we have to wait for him to marry Meizhen first."

"Tianzun and Meizhen will be getting married in a month, so you should start thinking about your marriage with Tianlin." Zhao Tiancheng said.

"Hehe," Zhan Yiran giggled. "For my marriage to Tianlin, I will leave everything to my father-in-law and mother-in-law’s decision, Uncle Tiancheng."

Shangguan Qingyin looked at her second son, who looked extremely gloomy. "Brother-in-law, we’ve decided that Tianlin and Yiran will get married three months after Tianzun and Xuanyuan Yueyao’s wedding."

Song Tiankun, Liao Yexue, and Song Chenglin were completely shocked after Shangguan Qingyin said that. They had never heard news of Song Tianzun and Xuanyuan Yueyao’s wedding plans.

"Speaking of Xuanyuan Yueyao, do you think she would be willing to accept being a concubine? After all, she is Emperor Xuanyuan’s niece, right?"

Shangguan Qingyin nodded to Song Yuzhen. "My husband has already discussed this matter with Emperor Xuanyuan, and Xuanyuan Yueyao has accepted our decision regarding my son’s marriage to Meizhen, so she will become his concubine."

"I see." Song Yuzhen nodded in understanding. "Are you happy, Tianzun? You will marry Meizhen in a month, and you will marry Xuanyuan Yueyao in six months."

Song Tianzun smiled bitterly. "Aunt, I actually never thought about having two wives, and I only wanted to marry Meizhen. As for my marriage to Xuanyuan Yueyao, it was arranged by Emperor Xuanyuan and my parents, so I couldn’t refuse our marriage."

"No matter what, your marriage to Xuanyuan Yueyao will take place in six months, and she is Emperor Xuanyuan’s niece, so you must treat her fairly." Song Yuzhen looked at Huangfu Meizhen. "Meizhen, you may feel that their marriage is unfair to you, but I hope you can understand the situation."

Huangfu Meizhen nodded with a faint smile. "You don’t have to worry about that, Aunt Yuzhen. I’m not a little girl, and I fully understand the situation. Although I don’t like the idea of ​​Tianzun marrying Xuanyuan Yueyao, I will definitely be fair to her, and we will support him in the future."

"That’s good." Song Yuzhen was satisfied with Huangfu Meizhen’s answer.

A while later, a guard informed them that Xuanyuan Yueyao had arrived, and Shangguan Qingyin asked Song Tianzun to pick her up at the palace gates because she was his future wife.

Naturally, Song Tianzun did not welcome the arrival of Xuanyuan Yueyao by himself, and he brought Huangfu Meizhen with him.

At the same time, King Song Zhentian had already arrived at the banquet hall, and he immediately sat down beside his wife, Shangguan Qingyin, waiting for Xuanyuan Yueyao’s arrival.

Although Song Zhentian didn’t say much, his aura gave off pressure to the people present in the hall, especially to Song Tiankun and his family. He glanced at his brother several times, but Shangguan Qingyin tapped his leg, signaling him not to act like that.

Some time later, Song Tianzun had returned to the banquet hall, with Huangfu Meizhen and Xuanyuan Yueyao walking on either side of him.

Xuanyuan Yueyao’s face was mature, with a soft oval shape and smooth, porcelain-like skin. Her black eyes were large and slightly upturned, emitting a calm but indifferent gaze. Her eyebrows were slender and naturally arched. A thin, intricately ornamented veil partially covered the lower half of her face but still revealed the softness of her lips.

Her hair was long, straight, and jet black with a silky texture. It fell beautifully over her shoulders, neatly framing her face. Her neck was slender and elongated. She has a slender, graceful figure with a narrow waist, giving her a dignified appearance. Her breasts were quite big and full, accentuated by the design of her outfit, outlining her upper body without being revealing.

Xuanyuan Yueyao graciously paid respects to the people present, especially Song Zhentian and Dongfang Qingyin. "King Song and Queen Shangguan, Yueyao pays respects to you two."

"Please sit down, Yueyao. For now, let’s enjoy this meal, and we’ll talk about other things later," Shangguan Qingyin said.

After they sat down, Shangguan Qingyin immediately began the banquet, and they enjoyed all the dishes while chatting lightly.

During the banquet Song Tianlin kept his face down to avoid Xuanyuan Yueyao’s gaze. She and Zhan Yiran were two women who made him feel fear.

Song Tiankun, Liao Yexue, and Song Chenglin were unable to enjoy the banquet after learning of Song Tianzun and Xuanyuan Yueyao’s wedding plans. They wanted to leave first, but they couldn’t do that because of Song Zhentian’s presence.

After the banquet ended, Song Zhentian and Shangguan Qinzhi asked Song Tianzun and the two women to follow them.
