Jiang Li was unaware of the undercurrents surging above her. At the moment, she was worried about something. Her back was itchy and she really wanted to scratch it, but before she reached out her hand, she heard Bi Yue whispering in her ear.

"Princess, the young general is here too. You are so beautiful today. Please be patient and don't do anything indecent."

Meeting her anxious eyes, Jiang Li felt miserable inside and her back felt more and more itchy. If only there was someone who could scratch it for her, it would be great. She was enduring it so hard.

"Um……"

Seeing that she was obedient, Bi Yue slowly let go of her worries. She took her to her seat and whispered in her ear, "Princess, if you want to eat or drink anything, just tell me anytime and I will prepare it for you."

Jiang Li tilted his neck, looked at her with moist eyes, and lowered his voice: "My back is itchy, can you scratch it for me?"

"Uh, I understand. I will scratch you quietly later."

"Biyue, you are such a clever little angel."

I didn't understand, it should be a compliment.

Bi Yue was respectful and whispered, "Thank you, princess, for your compliment."

The second princess, Jiang Xinrou, was standing by with her teeth almost broken. Her eyes were fixed on her dress, her expression full of jealousy and resentment.

They are both princesses, why does that bitch have it and she doesn't? My father is just partial. He always says that he cares about my mother the most, but when it comes to things, he always favors this bitch.

What legitimate princess? She is just a waste of a failed marriage. Why didn’t she die outside the palace? She had to come back to compete with her for the emperor’s favor and... a man.

It was obvious that she was the first one to fall in love with Mo Yuan. This bitch, who knew whether her body was still virgin when she went to marry a foreign prince? She got engaged to Mo Yuan not long after she came back. Ah, she was so angry that she was going to die.

Jiang Li sensed the maliciousness in that gaze, turned his head and looked over, facing that distorted face. He subconsciously frowned and asked in a low voice: "Who is that woman? Why is she staring at me like that? There is something wrong with her eyes, she needs to go get treatment."

Bi Yue sighed and whispered in your ear, "That's the Second Princess. She has always been at odds with you. I guess she was dissatisfied with the clothes she wore."

"Oh, so that's how it is. Bring me the bronze mirror."

"Ok?"

Confused, she subconsciously obeyed and took out the small bronze mirror from her sleeve. After it was taken away, she looked at the person facing the mirror, who was looking beautifully at herself, and then glanced at the second princess who was so angry that she was about to ascend to heaven.

I instantly understood what the eldest princess meant. This... was probably done intentionally to anger the second princess. As expected of the eldest princess, this move was truly heartbreaking.

Jiang Xinrou twisted her handkerchief, staring at the bitch who was only looking at herself in the mirror, as if she was bewitched by herself. She gritted her teeth and endured it, snorted and turned her head away. She was just a waste with nothing but good looks.

When she dances later, everyone's eyes will be on her. Who will care about that idiot who doesn't even know the palace rules? It would be a joke to expect her to have any talent.

Emperor Ming above clapped his hands and said loudly: "This birthday banquet should be regarded as a family banquet. Everyone, don't be too restrained. Defu, let's start."

"Old slave obeys the order."

A shrill voice sounded: "Waiting for the dancer, the birthday banquet is about to begin..."

Jiang Li searched with his eyes and soon found Mo Yuan. The two of them met eyes and exchanged glances. Seeing a smile on his stern face, Jiang Li couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

She put it down quickly. She couldn't afford the facial paralysis. She decided not to smile. Smiling wasn't good. When she had time in the future, she would go and treat her facial paralysis. Her expressionless face was beautiful, but it looked empty and weird.

"Biyue, I'm hungry. Please get me something to eat. I'll eat quickly while they're watching the dancers."

"Yes, I'll help you get it. Don't rub off your lip balm when you eat. It's not easy to put on makeup at the birthday party."

Jiang Li was so hungry that she just wanted to eat something to fill her stomach. She hummed twice perfunctorily, "I know. Please hurry up. I'm so hungry that I'm about to eat someone. I feel so uncomfortable. If I don't eat something, I won't have the energy to dance later."

"Okay, I know."

Mo Yuan looked at the man who was eating stealthily like a little mouse, and his eyes became more doting. Fearing that he might be hungry again, he picked up the chopsticks and started to pick up some food, and asked the guards behind him to quietly bring it to him.

Zhuiyun and Lengfeng are Mo Yuan's two bodyguards. They had been out investigating something and had not been in the capital for a long time. They had only returned recently. After learning that their master was engaged, they became very curious about the eldest princess.

The two men have very different personalities. Zhuiyun is only sixteen years old. He is young and lively, straightforward and simple-minded. Lengfeng is calm, reserved, and cunning.

The one who went to deliver the food was Zhuiyun. Leng Feng secretly observed her, wondering what kind of personality this princess had that made the master care so much about her. The master had never been interested in women in the past, but now it was obvious that she was in love with her.

I hope it wasn't a conspiracy of the royal family. He had always disliked people in the royal family. They were all very scheming. He would be polite to them when he needed them, but would turn against them immediately when he didn't.

If the princess is not right, even if he has to be punished by the master, he will...

Jiang Li was eating happily, and the food in front of him was quickly decreasing. At this moment, a hand reached out from behind him, and a plate full of food was placed on the table in front of him.

Zhuiyun whispered, "Princess, this is what my young general picked for you. He said there are a lot of delicious dishes over there, so you can eat slowly. If you don't have enough, he can send more."

I turned my head and looked around. Who is this baby-faced person? I have never seen him before.

"Who are you? I don't think I've seen you before."

"My name is Zhuiyun. I am a guard of the Major General. I was not in the capital before. It is normal that the princess has not met me."

Jiang Li glanced at Mo Yuan and saw him nod slightly, feeling relieved, and said softly, "Okay, I got it. Thank you for sending the food over. I'll take you out to play together some other day when I have time so that you can get to know each other."

Well, we are all family from now on. Since he is Ayuan Jinwei, we will inevitably see each other every day in the future. It is a good thing to get to know each other in advance.

Hearing this, Zhuiyun was stunned. This was a princess, and she was not arrogant at all. He liked this mistress very much. The master was really capable. He should either not be interested in women or find a good one.

However, the eldest princess’ personality is different from what I heard.

A chilling gaze fell on him. Zhuiyun looked over and met those sharp eyes. He shuddered. Oh no, it seemed that he had been staring at the princess just now. Could it be that the master was jealous?

The more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed. Zhuiyun hurriedly said, "Princess, I will go back first and bring you food later."

Jiang Li hummed: "Okay, thank you for your kindness on my behalf."

"Yes, I understand."

Zhuiyun went back quietly, stood behind Mo Yuan, bent down and whispered, "Master, the princess asked me to tell you that she wants to thank you for the food you sent."
