"Fourth Miss, where do you feel uncomfortable? I will go and get a doctor."

Caiju was a little puzzled. Wasn't Leng Ruozhen still full of energy yesterday? Why was he sick today?

"No need, just take a rest. Go and tell Eunuch Gao first." Leng Ruozhen quickly sent Caiju away.

"Yes."

Caiju had no choice but to retreat. She always felt something was wrong. Logically speaking, Leng Ruozhen would not refuse to enter the palace, and the room seemed a little messy.

Prince's Palace

"Your Highness, the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion has returned from Qingzhou." Chen Jiang said respectfully.

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhihan stopped writing. He was now the crown prince and had only one concubine, so the position of crown princess was still vacant.

Leng Yan'an has been in Qingzhou for a month and is finally back. It's time for him to talk to the empress dowager and his father about the marriage.

"Chen Jiang, you will give the invitation to the eldest daughter of the prime minister's mansion and invite her to come to the palace the day after tomorrow." Yu Zhihan said after thinking for a while.

"Yes, Your Highness."

After a while, Yu Zhihan saw Yan Sheng coming, so he came out of the study to practice martial arts.

"Chen Jiang, is there any happy event in the palace recently?"

Yan Sheng looked at the lights and decorations in the palace and asked Chen Jiang standing beside him with some curiosity.

"Master Yan, don't you know yet? The envoys from the west will come to meet His Majesty the day after tomorrow." Chen Jiang said in a low voice.

"So that's how it is." Yan Sheng said lightly.

Western envoys? A small tribe that was dependent on Yu State would send war horses and beauties every year in exchange for asylum.

The west is a grassland area that can breed war horses. The women there are beautiful and exotic.

The beautiful lady Zhen in the palace is a woman from the West. She was a dancer who was presented to Yu Haotian by the West two years ago. Because of her humble background, she was only given the title of beauty.

The beauties sent from the west were all good at singing and dancing. If they were favored by the emperor, they would stay in the palace and become concubines.

But most of the beauties would be awarded to ministers by Yu Haotian, and Yu Haotian would also give some gold, silver and jewelry to the West in return to show the emperor's great favor.

"Young Master Yan, you must meet the beauty from the West when the time comes. She is a beauty as beautiful as a fairy and a stunner in the world." Chen Jiang said with a smile.

"What's so special about beauty? It's just using your beauty to seduce others. What's so good about it? Chen Jiang, please don't lead Young Master Yan astray."

Yu Lingshuang walked over and spoke slowly, with Shen Xingyu following behind her.

Just like the beautiful lady Zhen beside my father, she was just a coquettish woman. My father only kept her in the palace on a whim, but now she has fallen out of favor, hasn't she?

"Princess, how dare I lead Young Master Yan astray? I was just speaking casually." Chen Jiang said, touching his head.

Yu Lingshuang glared at Chen Jiang, then sat next to Yan Sheng with some pastries in her hand.

Shen Xingyu found a corner to sit down, and looked at Yu Zhihan quietly, feeling a little sad.

Ever since she knew that Yu Zhihan and Concubine Xiao liked Leng Yan'an, Shen Xingyu no longer often followed Yu Lingshuang to Yu Zhihan's house.

Until the last few days, Yu Lingshuang got up early every day to go to the imperial kitchen, urging the imperial chef to make new pastries, and ran to the East Palace as soon as the afternoon time came.

Shen Xingyu was a little curious, so she followed Yu Lingshuang to the Eastern Palace. It was indeed because of the emperor's newly appointed Yan Shaobao.

Yu Lingshuang is the only princess of Yu country, a daughter of a noble family, and has never tried to please anyone, but she cares so much about Yan Shaobao.

"What pastries did the princess bring today?" Yan Sheng asked curiously when he smelled the fragrance of plum blossoms.

Yan Sheng was not interested in the beauties in the West. She had seen too many beauties, and she was already beautiful enough.

My cheap mother Yan Jinyao was the most beautiful woman in the capital, and now she is the most handsome man in the capital.

"Plum blossom cake, this is a cake that the imperial chef has just developed. It is delicious. Young Master Yan, please try it."

When Yu Lingshuang heard Yan Sheng asking about pastries, she quickly took out the plum blossom cake and handed it to Yan Sheng.

Plum blossom cake? Yan Sheng wanted to try it. She took a piece of plum blossom cake and took a bite. The crust was crispy and the taste was sweet and fragrant.

Yu Lingshuang looked at Yan Sheng expectantly, "Shaobao Yan, how is it?"

"The plum blossom pastry is soft when you put it in your mouth, with rich fillings. It is sweet but not greasy, and it is excellent." Yan Sheng praised.

Yu Lingshuang said happily, "Then Young Master Yan, please eat a few more pieces."

Yan Sheng smiled and said, "Thank you, Princess. I would like to take some plum blossom cakes back to Shao Bao Mansion to eat. Is that okay?"

Leng Yanan probably hasn't eaten plum cake before, so it's a good opportunity to bring it to her to try.

"Okay, take all of these back with you. Tomorrow I will bring some plum blossom cakes to the East Palace."

Yu Lingshuang quickly packed up the plum blossom cakes. It was rare to find cakes that Yan Sheng liked, so she would bring some over tomorrow.

"Thank you, Princess." Yan Sheng said lightly.

Chen Jiang said with envy, "The princess brings snacks to Yan Shaobao every day. It's true that being handsome is good."

Chen Jiang had never seen Yu Lingshuang be so nice to any man. Usually it was the men who took the initiative to please the princess.

Yan Sheng patted Chen Jiang on the head and said, "I don't make a living by my looks, I make a living by my strength."

Chen Jiang was Yu Zhihan's study partner. He had been with Yu Zhihan since childhood and was good at martial arts. After he became an adult, he stayed to work for the prince.

In Yan Sheng's eyes, Chen Jiang is a silly guy who likes to compete in martial arts with the guards. He smiles when he wins and cries when he loses.

Chen Jiang was stunned. Yan Sheng was quite capable and really didn't need to rely on his looks. "Yes, yes, I was wrong."

Yan Sheng turned to look at Yu Zhihan who was practicing martial arts. Yu Zhihan's martial arts skills were not very good, but he was practicing really hard.

"Your Highness, if you only practice without actual combat, it's just like talking about it on paper. Let me test how far you have practiced martial arts."

As soon as Yan Sheng finished speaking, he instantly attacked Yu Zhihan.

Yu Zhihan looked at Yan Sheng's fist, was stunned for a second, and immediately dodged it.

Yan Sheng and Yu Zhihan immediately started fighting, "Raise your hands high and focus your strength on your fists."

Yan Sheng taught Yu Zhihan while fighting. What she taught were modern martial arts suitable for close combat and self-defense.

After all, Yu Zhihan has a lot of guards and secret guards around him. If there is any danger, it may be the people around him.

When Yu Zhihan heard Yan Sheng's reminder, he quickly adjusted his movements.

"Xingyu, look, that move that Yan Shaobao just made was so cool."

Yu Lingshuang looked at the fight between Yu Zhihan and Yan Sheng, her eyes full of stars. Yan Shaobao was really powerful.

"Young Master Yan is a martial arts expert, so he is certainly powerful." Shen Xingyu said softly.

Chen Jiang secretly learned a few moves from Yan Sheng. Yan Sheng's moves were unheard of and unseen before, but surprisingly useful.

The last time I had a sparring match with Guard Liu from the East Palace, we usually ended up in a draw.

That day, Chen Jiang wanted to try out the effects of the sparring, so he used the few moves he had secretly learned. Unexpectedly, he actually defeated Guard Liu.

This made Chen Jiang very happy. Every time Yan Sheng taught Prince Yu Zhihan martial arts, he would hide aside and learn secretly.

Yan Sheng glanced at Chen Jiang. This boy was quite studious, but he didn't dare to compete with her.

"Chen Jiang, you are learning secretly again. Don't you have anything to do?" Yu Lingshuang said leisurely.
