After I traveled through the book, I became the favorite of the cold and indifferent prince.

Yan Qingwan stood behind Madam Yan Er, with his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart.

I secretly complained in my heart, hey, look, this is just like chasing stars in later generations.

If the prince could catch a glimpse of them, some of the noble ladies would probably faint from excitement.

"Miss Yan, Miss Yan?"

Yan Qingwan shuddered all over, and suddenly realized that there was a Master Wei standing next to him and heard his voice.

Her first reaction was to raise her eyes slightly and take a look at the prince's expression. Seeing that he looked cold and was looking at her coldly, her heart suddenly tightened and she stammered, "Your Highness... Your Highness..."

Si Jinchen narrowed his eyes, and the cold light in his eyes became stronger. He slowly turned the ring on his hand, but asked gently with a gentle face: "Miss Yan, do you have anything to tell me?"

Yan Qingwan's heart skipped a beat. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had never spoken to her in this tone before. Was he angry?

She subconsciously shook her head and denied it: "No! No!"

After she finished speaking, she realized that her reaction seemed a little extreme, and she quickly added: "I just... I just think that the weather is very good today, and my mood is also cheerful." As she spoke, she tilted her little head up and looked around, as if what she said was really not true.

Hearing this, the prince looked up slightly and hummed softly: "The sun is late in coming out today, it's so depressing."

Wei Shaoqin, who was standing by, saw this scene and his eyes darkened. He then interrupted and said, "Today's weather is very suitable for rafting."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Qingwan saw that the Crown Prince's gaze on her became even colder. She opened her mouth, laughed awkwardly twice, and said, "Hey, I suddenly feel a little stuffy in my chest. I guess it's because there are too many people here. You guys chat slowly. I'll go walk around the lotus pond first."

After saying that, Yan Qingwan hurriedly bowed to the people present.

Madam Yan Er glanced at her, nodded, and said, "Okay, don't go too far."

Yan Qingwan responded, turned around and walked away quickly.

Faintly, one could still hear Madam Yan turning to the Crown Prince and saying, "Your Highness, my Ah Wan has such a troublesome personality. She often does things in a confused manner. I am really worried about her."

Hearing this, Si Jinchen chuckled, "Old Madam Yan, don't worry. Fifth Miss Yan has a straightforward personality, which is rare."

Yan Qingwan curled his lips inwardly and walked even faster, just wanting to disappear from the spot as soon as possible.

Madam Yan was even happier after hearing this, "Then I'll take advantage of your good words, Your Highness."

Si Jinchen glanced at Yan Qingwan's back, frowned, and snorted in his heart. With such courage, he could only hide quickly.

He continued to talk with Old Madam Yan for a few more sentences and then planned to leave.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a soft call from not far away: "Cousin." The voice was as melodious as a yellow oriole singing in a valley, with a bit of coquettishness and intimacy.

Si Jinchen frowned slightly and looked in the direction of the voice.

I saw a woman standing not far away. She was wearing a bright red long dress embroidered with white peony and beads. Her skirt fluttered in the wind, and she looked as beautiful as a blooming flower.

The woman had willow-shaped almond-shaped eyes, but she deliberately made a pitiful look as her eyes moved, with tears welling up in her eyes, which made people feel pity for her.

Si Jinchen was already in a bad mood, so his attitude towards her was naturally very cold.

Zeng Yulan saw the prince's expression and bit her lip in grievance, "Cousin?"

Si Jinchen said coldly: "Why are you calling me?"

Zeng Yulan squeezed the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, looked at him, then quickly lowered her head, mustered up her courage and whispered, "I heard that the lilies in the palace are the most colorful. Your Highness, can you accompany me to take a look?"

Si Jinchen said rudely, "Among all the ladies at this banquet, isn't there a single one who is your playmate?"

"I..." Zeng Yulan didn't expect Si Jinchen to be so disrespectful to her. Her face suddenly turned red and tears welled up in her eyes.

It's a pity that Yan Qingwan was no longer watching at this time, otherwise she would definitely sigh in her heart that Zeng Yulan was really shameless. She brought it up in front of so many people, as if she thought that the prince would not give her face. Now she deserved it.

Si Jinchen didn't seem to care about Zeng Yulan's reaction. He just took a step forward and chased in the direction where Yan Qingwan left.

Zeng Yulan looked at his departing back, the tears in her eyes rolled down her cheeks, and her face turned a little pale.

She stomped her feet hard, then snorted, lifted her skirt and quickly followed.

She wanted to see where the prince was going. Could it be that there was a seductive woman ahead? Couldn't she just accompany her to visit the garden? She believed that as long as she appealed to his emotions and reason, the prince would definitely agree.

Madam Yan and others who stayed where they were looked at Zeng Yulan's back, looked at each other, and couldn't help frowning.

The Duke's wife raised her head to Wei Shaoqin beside her, motioning him to follow and see what would happen.

Wei Shaoqin was stunned for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking about. He nodded and quickly chased after the people in the direction they left.

The Duke's wife then turned around with a smile and continued chatting with Old Madam Yan.

Mrs. Yan, who was watching this scene, had a hint of worry in her eyes.

Her daughter, A-Wan, should be able to face such a situation calmly, right?

···

After Yan Qingwan escaped from that place, he slowly walked along the gravel path to the lotus pond.

She walked slowly, feeling the breeze on her face, and her mood gradually relaxed.

Thinking of the gloomy expression on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's face when he met him just now, Yan Qingwan couldn't help but shudder in his heart.

Thinking back on it now, she still feels scared.

She looked around and found that there was a palace maid standing quietly at intervals. Their eyes were alert and sharp, as if they were always vigilant to any danger that might arise around them.

Yan Qingwan couldn't help but mutter to himself that if this arrangement could be made earlier, he would feel more secure.

She looked around curiously, trying to find something interesting to distract herself.

At this moment, her eyes were suddenly attracted by a pavilion in the distance.

The pavilion was built on stone and looked particularly exquisite from a distance.

Yan Qingwan thought that if he could climb up the pavilion and overlook the beautiful view of the entire lotus pond, it would definitely make him feel relaxed and happy.

After thinking it over, she decided to take action immediately.
