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

The next morning, An Huanyan was woken up by Song Yan again.

Jiang Xingkuo was already in her room, eating breakfast in high spirits while looking at the drawings of the stores for sale in Youling City that were sent by the palace servants.

"Princess, please get up! The Hai family... the Hai family is here!"

"What!!" An Huanyan, with her messy hair, was almost scared to death. "What are they doing here? Get them out!"

"Princess... it's a betrothal gift. The eldest son of the Hai family is here to betrothal..."

Without caring about anything else, Songyan quickly summoned Tengxi and Yutai to help her wash and dress up.

"Huh? Who agreed to let them enter the palace?!" An Huanyan gritted her teeth in hatred when she thought of those people in their family.

"Of course... Your Highness the Crown Prince..."

"Huh?!" An Huanyan patted the dressing table, "Are you kidding me? I won't see him! Get him out!"

"Princess?" Songyan was about to draw her eyebrows.

"I said, drive them away!"

Songyan's hand holding Luozidai trembled. "Well, well, Yutai, you go and tell her..."

Yutai's hands were shaking as she sorted out her clothes. "How about, how about, Tengxi, you go..."

Teng Xi was holding a hairpin and putting it on An Huanyan's head. When he heard this, his hand couldn't help but tremble, and he poked her directly on the forehead.

"Ouch!" An Huanyan covered her forehead and screamed.

Song Yan, who was drawing eyebrows, slipped, and the ink brush also swept across An Huanyan's fair face, leaving a dark blue mark.

"Princess, atonement!"

"Princess, are you okay?"

……

Jiang Xingkuo looked at the chaos in the room, shook his head, and put down the blueprint. "Okay, okay, that's all! I'll go."

The four of them looked at her in unison.

Jiang Xingkuo held his head high and chest puffed out, then walked out the door with a dignified look on his face.

As soon as I went out, I felt exhausted.

Because, outside the door, there were many palace servants watching the fun, and the whole yard was filled with big red boxes.

She made her way around with difficulty, finally reaching the group and bowing.

"The princess is not feeling well. Thank you for taking the trouble to come here. Please go back now."

Hai Yanze, the leader, didn't even raise his eyelids. "Is the princess sick?"

"...Yes, she ate too many grapes and had vomiting and diarrhea all night yesterday. The princess has been weak and sick since she was a child. Not long ago, she was harmed by that traitor and fell seriously ill. Now she cannot get out of bed. I am afraid that her condition will worsen. She cannot delay the wedding. I hope you can forgive me."

Jiang Xingkuo said this with a forced smile, and clenched his folded hands tightly.

Hai Yanze didn't say anything else. Finally, he raised his eyelids and looked at her deeply.

Jiang Xingkuo gritted his teeth and met the gaze, looking back with a forced smile.

Hai Yanze just chuckled and waved his hand: "Anyway, the date has been set. There is still some time. Princess, you must take good care of yourself. Let's go!"

So his people immediately turned around and left one after another, leaving only the betrothal gifts all over the yard and the palace servants who were standing around and watching the show without knowing what was going on.

She breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's all go!"

The palace servants still didn't understand what was going on and refused to leave.

"Yutai! Yutai! Please see our sisters off!" she shouted loudly inside.

The four women who were eavesdropping on the door quickly opened it.

Yutai came out with a bag of silver coins in her arms, smiling, and began to give tips to the palace maids and eunuchs who were watching. "Let's have some good luck, let's have some good luck, everyone who sees it will get a share..."

The palace maids and eunuchs who received the reward immediately smiled happily, took the money, said a few auspicious words and ran away.

Jiang Xingkuo felt a pang of pain in his heart as he looked at the huge piles of silver that had been thrown away.

"Spending money can ward off disasters, spending money can ward off disasters..." An Huanyan tried to comfort her.

Jiang Xingkuo looked at the betrothal gifts in the yard and asked, "Are these... all for you?"

"I think so." An Huanyan nodded.

“Then…” Jiang Xingkuo’s eyes lit up.

"It can't be used. I don't want to owe him money!"

"Ah." Jiang Xingkuo sat down and continued to look at the blueprints. He seemed to remember something and asked, "But... are you sure you want to get married? Here..."

An Huanyan stroked her chin and looked at the yard in deep thought. After a long while, she spoke: "I can't go back in a short time. Forget it, let's try what it feels like to get married. Maybe I can't even get married where I am!"

She smiled bitterly again. "A princess has her responsibilities, too!"

Jiang Xingkuo glanced at her, thought about something, and suddenly muttered in a depressed mood: "...I feel like we...are all being used..."

"What?" An Huanyan didn't hear clearly.

"Nothing." She smiled and buried her head in the pile of papers on the table.

It is better not to let her know about these things and the darkness inside. There is nothing wrong with living happily.

"Why are you still looking? Haven't you chosen a location yet?" An Huanyan pushed the papers on the table and the floor.

"Well, it's almost done. I'll urge Wei Chuchu tomorrow and ask her to buy the shop for me. If we can open it for business within the year, we'll definitely make a lot of money!" Jiang Xingkuo held up a blueprint of a house, his eyes full of hope.

"Where is it? Let me see!" An Huanyan took it and took a look. "This... is next to the princess's mansion?!"

She looked at Jiang Xingkuo in surprise.

"Why are you so surprised? You don't know that this area is frequented by dignitaries and nobles. They must be very generous!" Jiang Xingkuo snatched the blueprint back and held it to his chest.

Then he held it to his chest, looking heartbroken: "It's expensive! Really expensive! I have to redecorate it after I buy it. Oh, I've lost three melons out of my three melons and two dates."

An Huanyan didn't say anything. She rushed into the room and carried out a small box.

"It's all for you!"

When Jiang Xingkuo opened it, she saw a box of jewellery, sparkling with gold and silver. Her eyes immediately lit up.

"Didn't you say you had no money?" Jiang Xingkuo took great effort to shift his gaze from the box to An Huanyan.

"Yes. There is indeed no cash. Everyone in the Piyue Palace needs money, just like just now. And we have to give gifts during festivals. It's a lot of money at a time. How can we save it all! These are all gifts from my parents. There are also many porcelains, calligraphy and paintings in the warehouse. Oh, by the way, my mother also left me a lot of dowry, which should be enough for me to never have to worry about anything in my life..."

An Huanyan crossed her legs and drank tea leisurely.

"I'm going to fight you capitalists!" Jiang Xingkuo rushed up and grabbed her neck, and the two of them started a fight.

"Stop it! Stop it! The tea is going to spill..." An Huanyan laughed out loud because of being tickled.

At this moment, deep bell sounds suddenly came from outside.

The two were stunned.

The teacup in An Huanyan's hand fell to the ground and shattered into eye-catching white pieces.

Song Yan pushed the door open hastily and said, "Princess, Princess, yes, Your Majesty..."

An Huanyan raised her head and looked towards the sky. The next second she picked up her skirt and ran towards the Qianqing Palace.

Song Yan and Jiang Xingkuo also hurriedly followed behind.

"Why so sudden?" Jiang Xingkuo asked as he ran.

"I don't know. I heard that His Majesty's breath was getting weaker a few days ago. I didn't expect it to happen today. This is such a coincidence. The princess just got engaged..."

"Be careful with your words." Jiang Xingkuo glanced at the panicked palace maids and eunuchs around him.

"Yes." Songyan immediately lowered his head and hurried on his way.

What a coincidence.

The old emperor is dying, and the Hai family is getting anxious. They quickly set a trap to trap An Huanyan before she dies. What a talent.
