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

"Do you want me to give up my love? I...I..." Yan Buwan started to sob as she spoke, "I will give it to the princess!"

When the emperor heard this, he patted her hands and said, "Hey! What are you talking about! If I give it to you, it's yours!"

"The Tianshan Snow Lotus is so precious. Your Majesty has bestowed it upon me, which represents your Majesty's supreme favor to me. How about this... take the bracelet on the princess's hand in exchange!" Yan Buwan stared at her bracelet and raised the corner of his mouth.

An Huanyan was stunned. This bracelet... forget it, there is still a long time to come, there will definitely be a chance to get it back.

Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and took off the bracelet. "This damn green tea..." She muttered and was about to agree, but was stopped by Jiang Xingkuo.

She turned around and Jiang Xingkuo shook his head slightly, "Don't do that. No way!"

"It's okay, I'll get it back later!" An Huanyan smiled at her, but was held tightly.

"Come back here and don't talk!" Jiang Xingkuo frowned and shouted in a low voice.

She didn't know why Yan Buwan was so obsessed with this bracelet.

Although An Huanyan was unwilling, she could only swallow her anger and keep silent.

Seeing his beloved little daughter's sad face, the emperor said with a little guilt: "Huanyan! Does it have to be this one? Otherwise, ask her to pick another one!"

Jiang Xingkuo saw that An Huanyan was still angry, so he thought quickly and stood up to reply: "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty! It is a blessing for me to be able to present a cake to Your Majesty. I dare not forget my roots."

"Well! Not bad!" The emperor expressed his great pleasure. "Huanyan! I am relieved that you have such a friend!"

Yan Buwan suddenly came up with a plan and smiled softly, "This girl has been wearing a veil. She must be a stunning beauty who keeps a low profile, right? For such a stunning beauty, why don't you take off the veil and let everyone see it?"

"Oh?" The emperor became excited when he heard the name of the stunning beauty.

An Huanyan saw that the situation was not good, so she could only change the subject: "Father, today's protagonist is my second brother. My second brother is coming of age. As the saying goes, a man should be given a name after he has come of age. Has my second brother already chosen a name?"

An Yuyan was stunned and bowed: "I think the emperor has already prepared it for me. When the crowning ceremony is held in a few days, I will offer sacrifices to the heaven and earth and ancestors and then give it to me."

I didn't expect him to bring up this topic! This brother is good! An Huanyan pulled Jiang Xingkuo, and the two smiled at him gratefully.

An Yuyan smiled shyly and stepped back.

"Well, of course it is!" The emperor stroked his beard guiltily.

In fact, he hadn't gotten married yet. He didn't care about the child at all. He could only say that he had enough food and clothing, but it was definitely not preferential treatment.

"Your Majesty must be wise!" Yan Buwan's eyes flashed with shrewdness, "Why don't you take off your veil, Miss Jiang! So that we can all open our eyes!"

This is a determination to embarrass Jiang Xingkuo in public.

"Your Majesty is as beautiful as a fairy and is favored by His Majesty. You don't need to care about others." At this time, the prince also came out to help, but it made Yan Buwan even more jealous.

"I am not good-looking and I am afraid that I may offend Your Majesty's eyes, so I wear a veil to cover up my ugliness. I hope Your Majesty can understand." Jiang Xingkuo came out to explain with a stiff face.

"I'm afraid the young lady is playing hard to get!" Yan Buwan smiled and leaned against the emperor. "If the young lady wasn't so beautiful, how could she be so appealing to His Majesty?"

After saying this, the emperor stared at her blankly.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on her.

Many people who have seen her were laughing at her, while those who had not seen her stretched their necks out of curiosity.

Jiang Xingkuo sighed silently. What was coming could not be avoided.

She reached out to take off her veil, but was stopped by An Huanyan: "Xingxing, no need! No need to make fun of them!"

She scratched her hands secretly, as if to say, "I'm fine," and then took off her veil.

Everyone gasped, including the emperor.

Then some people whispered, and the whole hall was filled with endless laughter.

Facing these, Jiang Xingkuo said calmly: "As the saying goes, you can't judge a person by his appearance, and you can't measure the depth of the sea. If you use your beauty to please others, how long will it be good? Moreover, if your inner cultivation can't keep up with your outer beauty, then you are just an empty shell vase. This kind of person is the real gold and jade on the outside, but rotten on the inside. Yan Zhaoyi, what do you think?"

The prince put the wine glass he had raised in the air down again and stared at her intently. Perhaps he himself did not realize that his eyes were full of admiration.

Yan Buwan was speechless. She was secretly scolding Yan Buwan for being superficial, but she couldn't say a word for a long time, so she could only swallow her anger and dive into the emperor's arms.

The emperor seemed to be teased, and his words showed his coldness: "Alright, alright! I will go back first. You youngsters have fun, don't be restrained!"

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

The emperor and Yan Buwan left with a triumphant smile on their faces.

"This woman is finally gone." An Huanyan gnashed her teeth and said angrily. "Xingxing, are you okay?"

"Nothing's wrong with me! I'm used to it!" Jiang Xingkuo shrugged nonchalantly.

"The princess really has unique taste." Someone in the crowd suddenly said this, and the children from the noble families burst into laughter again.

"What are you laughing at! What's so funny!" An Huanyan turned around and yelled, and people instantly quieted down and dared not look at her again.

Only Hai Yanqing drank thoughtfully. Is this person really the willful, arrogant and unreasonable An Huanyan?

"Hey, speaking of bracelets, I suddenly remembered, is your bracelet still on that bastard?" An Huanyan touched Jiang Xingkuo with her arm, and secretly pointed at Hai Yanqing.

"Yes. What do you want to do?" Jiang Xingkuo's left eyelid twitched.

"You said...did he wear the bracelet today?"

"Well... I think it's not impossible..."

They looked at each other and smiled, the smiles on their faces were cunning and bright.

"In your previous life, I remember you had a good alcohol tolerance." Jiang Xingkuo chuckled.

"This life should be pretty good. I can't drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, but I should be able to get a man down." An Huanyan picked up the bottle stupidly.

"Hey, hey, hey, are you serious?" Jiang Xingkuo was stunned.

"Let's go!" An Huanyan happily returned to her seat and deliberately moved the cushion next to Hai Yanqing.

Jiang Xingkuo was beside them, diligently pouring wine for them.

Hai Yanqing looked at the full wine glass in front of him with a look of suspicion.

"Second Young Master, the princess is offering a toast, won't you drink?" Jiang Xingkuo reminded him again when he saw that he didn't move.

Hai Yanqing gritted his teeth and drank one cup after another.

"Second Master, fill the glass with wine. Look, the glass is round and the wine is full. I wish you a happy life."

"People have three treasures: essence, energy, and spirit. Second Young Master, your forehead is full and your face is rosy. Drink this cup of Ruyi wine and I wish you a smooth career, a bright future, and a steady rise!"

Jiang Xingkuo toasted on the left, and An Huanyan toasted on the right. Due to the princess's reputation, no one dared to come forward to block the toast.

Even if he knew that the princess had ulterior motives, he would find it difficult to shirk responsibility.

After all, in such a public occasion, the other party is a princess and a member of the royal family, so she cannot be offended easily.

Of course, he also really wanted to know what An Huanyan was trying to do.

Everyone present sighed: "I heard that the princess has been in love with the second son of the Hai family for a long time. After seeing him today, if it is true..."
