"Hasn't her family already dealt with it? Has something happened again?" An Huanyan felt unhappy when she thought of that woman.

The prince noticed Jiang Xingkuo's funny look and secretly found it funny, but he still said seriously, "It's nothing. Don't worry about it. The emperor will take care of it for you."

"Royal brother~" An Huanyan was really curious. He said that it must have meant something had happened, and she couldn't help but act coquettishly and cutely to find out the news.

"Be obedient." The prince touched her head.

"Eh? What is this?" An Huanyan noticed that he was holding a jade butterfly-shaped ring in his hand.

"This is the Nine Rings that the envoy brought with him this time. Can you try to untie it?" The prince handed the Nine Rings to her.

"Your Majesty, are you kidding me? Do you think I can solve it?" An Huanyan smiled sullenly.

"Huanyan is very talented, it's worth a try."

After hearing what he said, An Huanyan fiddled with it for a while, and suddenly seemed to remember something. "Hey? Xingxing, do you know how to do this? I've seen you play it before."

"Ah?" Jiang Xingkuo looked at her handing over the Nine Rings, hesitated for a moment, and then took it.

"Oh? Miss Jiang can solve it?" The prince's expression suddenly became serious, his eyes as sharp as an eagle.

Jiang Xingkuo saw his serious expression and asked, "Will smashing it count as solving the problem?" He then pretended to throw it on the ground, which frightened the prince so much that his pupils shrank slightly.

Fortunately, she held it firmly in her hand and smiled slyly.

Seeing her eyes smiling like crescent moons, the prince felt a different emotion rising in his heart.

"Okay, stop teasing my brother!" An Huanyan pulled her arm.

"Okay, give me some time." As she said that, she quickly slid the circle above, with a confident and bright smile, which was even more unforgettable even with such a face.

Seeing her busy untying the nine linked rings, An Huanyan quickly asked the prince, "Brother, if I untie it, will there be any reward?"

The prince stared at Jiang Xingkuo with a frown on his face, "If the issue can be resolved, war will never happen again. We can just marry a princess and trade can be allowed on the border. There will be no more obstacles to exchanges between the two countries."

"Is this true?!" An Huanyan cheered and jumped for joy. "Come on, Xingxing! Come on, Xingxing!"

"It's fake." Seeing how happy she was, the prince suddenly said this.

"Ah..." An Huanyan became dejected.

While chatting and laughing, Jiang Xingkuo presented the complete, untied Nine Rings with both hands.

The prince was shocked for a while before he took it. "Young lady, you are smart and intelligent. I admire you."

"Fortunately, this thing only comes with practice." Jiang Xingkuo rubbed his wrist.

The prince forced himself to look back and tried to change the subject, "Huanyan, why are you still so pale? I heard that the imperial physician you hired a while ago didn't improve your condition after taking medicine."

"That's right. They are all a bunch of quacks." An Huanyan pouted.

"Well, you ask your servants to take my letter and go outside the palace to find a miracle doctor named Ji, who will definitely be able to cure your illness!" The prince patted her thin shoulders with heartache.

"Miracle doctor? Is he really that amazing? Can you help my Xingxing cure the pimples on her face?" An Huanyan looked at Jiang Xingkuo with anticipation.

? ? Jiang Xingkuo was suddenly mentioned and felt extremely embarrassed.

Capital punishment. This is capital punishment.

In front of a handsome guy, he looked at me so closely!

Sure enough, Qian Zhongshu was right.

Looking closely at an ugly person is cruel.

She was ashamed.

"You can ask him about this when the time comes. Maybe he has a good solution." The prince just smiled mysteriously.

"Great! I must try it!" An Huanyan was very excited.

"Okay, you guys play first." The prince nodded to them, "I'll go ahead." Then he left.

"Oh, Ayan, your brother is so handsome!!" Jiang Xingkuo's eyes were full of stars.

"Stop, stop!" An Huanyan waved her hand in front of her eyes speechlessly.

"Okay, okay." Jiang Xingkuo tactfully withdrew his greedy gaze.

The two men started walking back.

"By the way...Huanyan, do you have a brother?"

"Yes, but he is not my biological brother. I have only seen him a few times since I came here, and we are not very close. I heard that he seldom sees people." An Huanyan tried hard to recall her second brother.

"My second brother is very cold and distant to everyone, including her mother."

"Ah? Why why? Isn't her mother the queen?" Jiang Xingkuo's gossipy heart was burning.

"Of course not! You're so stupid! You've already said she's not his biological daughter! Her mother is the prime minister's sister, and she was made a royal concubine, but it is said that she passed away a few years ago, and he has become even more withdrawn. We seldom communicate with each other, and he never participates in activities."

An Huanyan really didn't have much impression of him as her second brother.

Jiang Xingkuo approached her stealthily, lowered his voice with a mysterious look on his face, "Then...will he and the prince...compete for the throne..."

"Oh! No!" An Huanyan interrupted her immediately. Because there were many palace maids around, she coughed again and lowered her voice and said, "...He is this..."

As he spoke, he pointed to the number six with his fingers.

"This?" Jiang Xingkuo imitated her movements and gestured the number six again. "Six? He's very six? He's the old six?"

"Stupid!" An Huanyan pulled her closer, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "He has six fingers!"

"What!" Jiang Xingkuo was shocked, but he quickly pretended that he hadn't heard anything and said seriously, "Can't it be cut off?"

"How dare they! Our hair and bodies are given by our parents. When I wanted to get a haircut, they all knelt down in front of me. I was so scared that I threw away the scissors. Sigh." An Huanyan shook her head.

"Wait! Her mother is the prime minister's sister, so isn't she a cousin of your Hai Yanqing?" Jiang Xingkuo suddenly thought of this.

"Yes. However, from what I've observed, their relationship isn't very good and they rarely get together to bond." An Huanyan also started gossiping, "Wait! What are you talking about! What do you mean by my Hai Yanqing! Explain it to me!"

Seeing this, Jiang Xingkuo quickly changed the subject and asked, "How did you recognize that she was impersonating me? Did you tell her that you traveled through time?"

"Do you think I'm that stupid?" An Huanyan rolled her eyes at her.

"Then tell me. In order to replace me, she must have memorized all the answers to the test questions by heart." Jiang Xingkuo curled his lips.

The Piyun Palace is in front.

"Indeed." An Huanyan watched the craftsmen busying around in the yard while asking someone to bring the test papers and make another pot of tea.

"What is this?" Jiang Xingkuo was confused as he held the test paper. "Are you going to test me again?"

"Read the second question again." An Huanyan lazily nestled into the recliner and blew on the scalding hot tea.

"Second question? My motherland?" Jiang Xingkuo was still puzzled.

"Don't worry about it, just read it!" An Huanyan didn't even raise her head.

"Oh." Jiang Xingkuo didn't understand what she meant, but he still read from the paper: "A big river...wide waves~the wind blows the rice flowers~fragrant on both sides~my home is~on the shore~I live~"

As Jiang Xingkuo was reciting, he began to sing.

"What song is Miss Jiang singing? It's very beautiful. I have never heard it before." Songyan brought more cakes to the two of them.

"Ahem. Why did I start singing?" Jiang Xingkuo stopped embarrassedly.

"If it were me, I would sing too. That's the problem." An Huanyan raised her eyebrows proudly.

Jiang Xingkuo showed an expression of disbelief on his face: "You mean, she recited it completely?"

"How else? As the flowers of the motherland with pure roots like us, who can resist singing?"

"This works!" Jiang Xingkuo shouted to the sky. "Not bad, not bad! Smart! No wonder Hai Yanqing looks at you with new eyes!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" An Huanyan kicked her.

"What's wrong? You must be laughing to death if such a handsome man becomes your consort! You will wake up laughing in your bed at night!" Jiang Xingkuo teased her nonchalantly, causing An Huanyan's face to turn red.

After several more hammerings, Jiang Xingkuo finally stopped joking.

Zihao, who was behind him, heard the hand pouring tea tremble a few times. He widened his eyes and his thoughts began to surge.

The craftsmen were busy transplanting lotus flowers into the pond.

An Huanyan filled pot after pot of tea.

Jiang Xingkuo glanced at her and said, "The way you drink...why, are you thirsty?"

"I don't know why, but I'm afraid that summer is coming. I've been feeling thirsty and hot recently, and this tea is the best at quenching my thirst. Before I knew it, I..." An Huanyan seemed to have noticed something and looked suddenly at Jiang Xingkuo.

Jiang Xingkuo looked back at her in shock, but they both quickly looked away.

"Then give me some to drink too." Jiang Xingkuo picked up her pot and poured himself some.

"Miss Jiang, how can you do it yourself? Let me do it." Zihao was quick to snatch the pot and pour it into the cup in her hand.

Jiang Xingkuo held the tea, was stunned for a moment, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Good tea! Good tea! You are indeed a princess who is loved by everyone! Only the princess can drink such good tea! What an honor!"

Jiang Xingkuo started teasing An Huanyan.

An Huanyan rolled her eyes at her, said nothing, and closed her eyes weakly.

"What's wrong with you? Say something!" Jiang Xingkuo reached out and pushed her.

Unexpectedly, this push actually pushed her to the ground.

“Princess!” “Princess!”

The palace servants swarmed over immediately and hurriedly carried An Huanyan back into the house.

Jiang Xingkuo stood there, his mouth trembling.

"What are you still standing there for! Go and get the imperial physician!" Song Yan's loud shout startled the palace servants who were in a panic around her.

The palace maid hurriedly went to call the imperial physician.

"Wait!" Jiang Xingkuo stopped her, "Zihao, go to the East Palace and ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to give you a visiting card and invite Doctor Ji."

"This..." When Zihao saw that it was her, he rubbed the pot in his hand unconsciously, hesitant.

"Go quickly!" Jiang Xingkuo roared.

"Let Songyan go... I'll stay here to guard the princess..." Zihao smiled reluctantly.

"Asshole! You're so picky when I tell you to invite an imperial physician! You'll be the first person his majesty will blame if something happens to the princess!" Jiang Xingkuo's words were so sharp that Zihao reluctantly put down the pot in his hand and went out.

The palace maids around him were running back and forth in a mess. Seeing this, Jiang Xingkuo hid the teapot under the bed and took an identical one from the side and put it back.

After doing all this, Jiang Xingkuo sat in front of the bed and looked at An Huanyan's pale face. She felt something was wrong.

"Ayan...Ayan..." she called softly.

There was no response. The closed eyes did not move.

Jiang Xingkuo secretly scratched her palm, "Are you trying to scare me again, A-Yan!"

Still no response.

Jiang Xingkuo licked her lips, she was a little scared.

"Ayan! You can wake up now. I have secretly obtained the evidence." She shook An Huanyan's shoulders.

And An Huanyan fell asleep quietly.

She panicked and pinched An Huanyan's philtrum with her shaking hands, "What's going on! Didn't we agree that you were just pretending to faint?!"
