I'm in trouble again! My best friend, the princess in the group, please save me!
Chapter 19 Blind Date
"Hey, hey, hey! Stop talking about this man. I won't marry you. I'd rather marry a guard in your palace than him! Don't mention him to me anymore." An Huanyan interrupted him unhappily.
The prince raised his eyebrows in surprise, then said with an expression of understanding, "I see. I understand. However, your marriage has been put on the agenda. I have prepared some portraits of men of the right age who are wives of officials in the court. I will send them to your palace later for you to choose from."
"Ah?" Jiang Xingkuo and An Huanyan were both stunned.
"Go back. Your royal brother has government affairs to take care of." The prince stood up, as if to see someone off.
"Oh..." An Huanyan was driven away before she could refuse, and could only pout at the prince.
"Wait!"
An Huanyan and Jiang Xingkuo turned around to look at him.
"This is the prescription that the miracle doctor gave to Miss Jiang." The prince took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to her.
"For me?!" Jiang Xingkuo smiled.
"Is this true?" An Huanyan leaned over to take a look.
"How can the royal brother really lie to you? Let's go." The prince was chasing people away again.
The two of them instantly forgot what they had just said and started discussing the herbs on the prescription as they walked.
"This Tianshan Snow Lotus... sounds very expensive. Huanyan, do you have it? You are a princess, you should have it, right?" Jiang Xingkuo touched his chin.
"...Um...Songyan, Songyan!" An Huanyan shouted behind her.
"Princess." Songyan ran to her from three meters away.
"What was that?" An Huanyan scratched his head.
"Snow Lotus of Tianshan Mountains!" Jiang Xingkuo was speechless.
"Oh, that Tianshan Snow Lotus, do I have it?" An Huanyan put her hand on Song Yan's shoulder.
"Princess, you don't have one. But it just so happens that the Western Regions paid tribute to Your Majesty with one this year... Princess, it's against the rules for you to do this..." Song Yan looked at An Huanyan in embarrassment, who was so sloppy and wanted to hang on her.
"Get down here!" Jiang Xingkuo pulled An Huanyan down, but An Huanyan leaned on her again.
"There's only one! So rare! Okay, I'll go ask father for it. Xingxing! You are saved!" An Huanyan boasted.
"Don't you have bones?" Jiang Xingkuo complained while dragging her.
In the Piyun Palace, palace maids and eunuchs lined up and squeezed into the main hall with long scrolls in their hands.
"What are you doing?" An Huanyan suddenly remembered what the prince said.
"Princess, it was the Crown Prince who ordered us to come here. Please take a look." The leading palace maid replied with her head lowered.
"This..." An Huanyan's face wrinkled.
"Take a look, it's not like you'll lose a piece of flesh." Jiang Xingkuo picked up a plate of Thousand-leaf cherries and started eating.
"I can't eat you to death." An Huanyan sat down with gritted teeth, "Hurry up, hurry up, I'm busy."
"Hurry up, hurry up. Our princess is very busy with all kinds of things. Do you understand the value of the princess?" Jiang Xingkuo pretended to help out from the side.
An Huanyan rolled her eyes at her in annoyance.
Yutai and Tengxi both laughed secretly, and Songyan went out to arrange for the palace maids to come in one by one.
"…This is the eldest son of the Governor of Huguang, and he has a good character…"
"Ugly. Next."
"This is the nephew of the Minister of Rites. He is handsome..."
"This one looks stupid, next one."
More than a dozen palace maids filed out, finding nothing.
"Princess, are you not satisfied with any of them? At least pick a few out to meet them." The leading palace maid advised patiently.
If she couldn't pick one, she would have trouble reporting back.
"Do I have to pick one?" An Huanyan supported her chin, feeling bored.
"Princess, just pick one. Then I'll let the princess take a look at it. Only when the princess is satisfied can I ask for the marriage."
"Hehe, the ancient version of blind date!" Jiang Xingkuo gloated.
An Huanyan reached out and pinched her secretly.
"Ouch! You you..." Jiang Xingkuo jumped up in pain.
"I know, I know. Then, then, this one." An Huanyan casually pulled out a roll and threw it to her.
The maid hurriedly grabbed the scroll, bowed to her, and then directed the other maids to leave.
"Huanyan, do you think that your brother is a little anxious?" Jiang Xingkuo seemed to be thinking about something.
"More than that. This is so sudden. He clearly didn't agree with Hai Yanqing and I before, but today he actually wants to persuade me! It's so weird!" An Huanyan slammed the table.
"Why don't you ask him then?"
"You can't ask. He will never tell you anything he doesn't want to tell you." An Huanyan shook her head.
At this time, Songyan knocked on the door.
"Princess, a servant just brought this thing to us outside the store, saying it's for Miss Jiang. She will understand after you show it to her." Song Yan held a small box in his hand.
"Who is it?" An Huanyan's curiosity was burning in her heart. "A bomb! It can't be a bomb!"
"Blow your head off!" Jiang Xingkuo knocked on her head. "Let me see."
Song Yan was no longer surprised by their strange way of getting along. The princess's temperament changed drastically, but... she became much gentler towards the palace maids.
Jiang Xingkuo took it, opened it and saw a white square and a piece of paper inside.
"Oh my! You have a love letter!" An Huanyan leaned forward, but was pushed away by her.
"The ink is specially developed by me. It is not easy to fall off. It can be washed with pine mud dissolved in water and tung oil."
Jiang Xingkuo picked up the white block, looked at it again and again, then asked Songyan to get her a basin of water and add a little tung oil.
"It's really washed off!" An Huanyan cheered beside her. "Very good, very good, I'll go ask my father for the Tianshan Snow Lotus right now, and get it done in one go!"
"Princess," Yutai came in, timidly wanting to say something but stopping himself.
"What's wrong?" An Huanyan walked out, leaving Jiang Xingkuo in the room to continue cleaning the remaining ink on his face.
"Princess, the Second Prince's birthday will be in five days. His Majesty has specially held a banquet in the Second Prince's Chonghua Palace. The Crown Prince has invited the man that the Princess has chosen today. Please dress up and attend the banquet." Yu Tai said all in one breath and looked up at An Huanyan's puzzled face.
"This... jade platform,"
"Princess?"
"Hmm... do we have little contact with him? What kind of person is he?"
"I dare not discuss the Second Prince..."
"Just say it!"
Yutai replied in embarrassment: "Princess, I don't know much. I only heard from my sisters that the Second Prince is cold and distant to everyone, and never smiles..."
An Huanyan looked at Yutai's timid look and patted her shoulder: "Don't worry, I won't eat you. Go down, go down!"
In the East Palace, the prince looked at the scroll brought up by the palace maid and opened it.
"Are you sure it's him?" The prince closed his eyes helplessly.
"It was indeed chosen by the princess." The maid next to him tried to guess the prince's thoughts and asked tentatively, "Your Highness is not satisfied. ? Do you still want to invite the second son of the Hai family to the banquet?"
The prince opened his eyes and was silent for a long time before waving his hand.
"Yes. I'll deliver the invitation right away." The palace maid lowered her head and walked out.
