I'm in trouble again! My best friend, the princess in the group, please save me!

Although it was a lunch party, people didn't leave until the evening.

The emperor drank cup after cup and became unconscious. She also drank a lot to add to the fun.

Yan Buwan dismissed his attendants and walked alone on the road away from Qinzheng Store.

The bright moonlight spread evenly on the strange land. She raised her head and saw only a round bright moon accompanying her in the sky.

She remembered what her father had said to her.

"Wan'er, father made a big mistake. He originally wanted to replace the prince with you and send you to the palace to enjoy wealth and glory with the princess, but it didn't happen. Instead, he wanted to harm the whole family... Now only if you enter the palace to accompany the emperor can our family be saved. We have old people and young children in our family. Dad knows that I am sorry for you, but Dad really has no choice..."

She couldn't remember what happened next.

All she remembered was that she was hurriedly sent into the palace by Prime Minister Hai and became the concubine of a man who was the same age as her father.

She walked onto a bridge to get rid of the smell of alcohol, and sat down on the edge of the bridge. Unexpectedly, she turned around and fell into the lake.

This lake was connected to the moat outside and the water was extremely deep. She gulped down a few mouthfuls of water and struggled for a long time. She finally managed to get her head out of the water and shouted for help.

She did not bring any attendants with her, and there was no one around her. By the time the night patrol came, she would be in great danger.

She had trouble breathing, her mouth tasted bitter, and her vision began to blur.

A figure shining with golden light flew over from the distance.

The man flew into the lake, stepped lightly on the water, pulled her up, and then embraced her with his hands, carrying her into the air in a charming princess hug.

Under the moonlight, the man's face seemed to be coated with a layer of soft light. Although his face was expressionless, he was handsome and unforgettable.

It was him. The prince I met at the banquet.

She couldn't help but put her arms around his neck and rested her head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat and feeling his breathing.

I wish this moment could last forever.

But everything happened so quickly, the prince flew to the shore and put her on the shore.

She stood there all wet and her makeup was all smudged.

"Is it Concubine Yan?" The prince recognized her.

She lowered her head in embarrassment, and strands of hair hung down, dripping with water.

She grabbed the hair, oh, she had already tied it into a woman's bun.

What to do? She is only eighteen years old.

At this moment, she even wished that she had never married, that she didn't wear a woman's hair in a bun, and that she wasn't the concubine of the old emperor, but...

But she is a girl, a girl with a face full of love, a girl whose heart will flutter in front of the person who makes her heart beat.

When the prince saw that she did not answer, he thought she was frightened and was about to call for help.

"Can you... send me back to the palace..." She said this in a hurry and was shocked herself.

The prince just turned his back and said, "Your Majesty, this is against the rules. I will call someone to take you away right away." Then he left without hesitation.

Yan Buwan crossed his arms, bit his lower lip hard, and his eyes were filled with tears.

Jiang Xingkuo has been busy making cakes these days.

In ancient times, there was no whipped cream, no butter, no ovens, no egg beaters... basically everything had to be done by yourself.

However, the raw materials are basically milk. Butter is made from milk and ghee, and light cream is made from milk and the freshly made butter. You just need to wait for the cake base to be made and then whip it to make the cream.

Fortunately, she had the help of An Huanyan. Yu Tai had good craftsmanship, and under her guidance, although the process was tortuous, she was able to make the various raw materials.

But during the baking step, what comes out is a piece of black charcoal that is burnt on the outside and not cooked on the inside.

She could only adjust the temperature little by little, and finally after wasting dozens of eggs and more than ten pounds of flour, she found the most suitable method and the most suitable temperature.

The days passed quickly and soon it was the second prince's birthday.

Jiang Xingkuo thought about it and decided to put on the veil. It would be bad to be ugly in public.

"I'm sorry, Xingxing, I didn't ask my dad for the Tianshan Snow Lotus. He's been so busy lately." An Huanyan looked at her apologetically, "But we will definitely see him later! When the time comes, we will use the cake to ask for his attention and ask him for it!"

"Stop talking nonsense! You've been ugly for so long, I'm used to it." Jiang Xingkuo pinched her fair face and rubbed powder all over his hand. "Tengxi, why is your powder so thick!"

"Miss Jiang, today is a big occasion. If you don't use more force, it will soon be gone." Tengxi replied obediently.

"Did you hear that? What a big scene!" An Huanyan proudly stretched her legs onto Jiang Xingkuo's thighs where he was sitting.

"Look at you! You act like a human but you are just a dog!" Jiang Xingkuo slapped her foot away.

As night falls, the moon quietly turns into a crescent.

An Huanyan had a sad face, her hair was covered with pearls and jade, and she went to Chonghua Palace in her best attire.

The second prince, An Yuyan, stood in the main seat, greeting every guest who came in a calm and peaceful voice.

"Second brother!" An Huanyan walked towards him happily, holding her skirt, and Jiang Xingkuo followed behind her with his head down.

"Princess, you have to follow the rules." Song Yan reminded in a low voice.

In formal occasions, Songyan still kept it in mind.

"Oh. Second brother." An Huanyan pouted boredly.

Yes, it seems like they are not that familiar with each other.

I've only seen him once or twice since she came here, and we haven't talked much at all.

"It's okay. Huanyan, please take a seat." An Yuyan smiled slightly, but her eyes fell on Jiang Xingkuo who was lowering his head behind her.

This voice sounds familiar.

She stole a glance.

? ! ? !

Her eyes widened in shock.

An Yuyan pretended not to see it, but a subtle curve appeared on her lips unconsciously.

Damn it! Jiang Xingkuo clenched his fists. Yuyan, Yuyan, I am such a fool! I just didn't remember that I was in the same generation as An Huanyan!

What kind of person is this! Building a thatched hut in the palace!

She blew on her veil, causing it to rise and fall.

An Huanyan suddenly tugged at her sleeve, "What do you mean? Why is he here?"

She turned around and looked up, and saw Hai Yanqing sitting at the table, staring at them intently.

"Look, what are you looking at!" She rolled her eyes and was about to sit down, but was led by the maid to the seat next to Hai Yanqing.

She sat down dissatisfied and glared.

"It's normal for him to be here..." Jiang Xingkuo pulled her helplessly.

"What's normal about that? What's normal about that? Then he'll think I'm deliberately trying to marry him. How embarrassing!" An Huanyan drank a glass of wine.

"Hehe, your second brother is his sister's son, so what's your second brother's...generation?" Jiang Xingkuo was suddenly stuck. "Who cares? He's a cousin anyway. It's normal for him to come on your second brother's birthday. Don't be angry. Just ignore him."

"...That's right..." An Huanyan nodded thoughtfully.
