Who put the yellow robe on me?

Situ Yongrui walked out slowly with a smile and said:

"Hahaha! In the past, which of the top courtesans in Tianxiang Pavilion wasn't a rare beauty that the princes and nobles could only see?"

"It takes a lot of effort to even meet those high-ranking officials, let alone show them some talent."

"And now, for the first time, I've seen the four most beautiful courtesans competing for the sixteenth prince. This is truly unprecedented."

Everyone sat down slowly, but the seating order was changed.

Zhi Ruolan beside Mu Zhengyi and Ye Peiyan beside the Sixth Prince Jiang Fu have not changed.

Liu Ruyan snuggled up to Jiang Chen.

This made the fifth prince Jiang Chong so angry that his eyes were blazing with anger. Fortunately, Bai Fengxian walked over from Situ Yongrui, otherwise Jiang Chong would have really had the urge to overturn the table.

Liu Ruyan stood up lightly, her graceful figure like willow catkins floating in the wind.

She picked up the wine jug, gently filled a glass of wine for Jiang Chen, and said in a delicate voice: "Your Highness..."

Suddenly, Jiang Fu jokingly said, "Sixteenth brother, before you even arrived, Miss Liu said you hadn't visited her in a long time. I think you should punish yourself by drinking three cups!"

"Oh? Really?" Jiang Chen turned to look at Liu Ruyan and simply pretended to be stupid, wanting to see what tricks the Sixth Prince could come up with tonight.

Liu Ruyan saw Jiang Fu winking at her and thought of the task assigned to her by her "financial sponsor" today.

Her eyes moved, with a bit of grievance and playfulness, and she said in a delicate voice, half angry and half angry:

"Yes, Sixteenth Prince, why haven't you come to visit me for such a long time?"

Then he winked at Jiang Chong and said lovingly,

"So does the Fifth Prince! How come the Fifth Prince hasn't come to take care of me these days? He used to come and care about me often."

Jiang Chen looked at Liu Ruyan's expression which seemed a little lost, and sneered in his heart. What was supposed to come finally came.

It turns out that tonight's game was full of borrowed knife murders and various kinds of discord.

However, Jiang Chen is not afraid!

He can still deal with these good-for-nothings with ease!

Jiang Chong was not so lucky. He clearly felt that his brain was not enough.

First, he was confused by Liu Ruyan's "affectionate look", and then he remembered the "confinement" for more than a month.

Then he sneered, "Something went wrong this month, otherwise, how could I not come to see Miss Ruyan for a month."

A sly glint flashed in Liu Ruyan's eyes, and she said casually, "Ah? What's wrong, Fifth Prince? Is there some hidden secret? I'm very worried."

Jiang Chong took a gulp of wine and said coldly, "It's okay, Miss Ruyan!"

The guests nearby only half understood what was said, but they could all feel the subtle change in the atmosphere.

Liu Ruyan's seemingly unintentional words had actually sown a subtle ripple between the Sixteenth Prince and the Fifth Prince.

Jiang Fu was very satisfied with Liu Ruyan's performance and secretly gave her a thumbs up.

With the support of the "financial backer", Liu Ruyan became even more unscrupulous.

Jiang Chen and Liu Ruyan seemed to be chatting and laughing on the surface, but both of them had complicated thoughts.

Liu Ruyan maneuvered with ease between the Fifth Prince and the Sixteenth Prince, skillfully stirring up the relationship between them and seemingly enjoying it.

Then he turned to Jiang Chen and said, "Sixteenth Prince, why don't you come to see Miss Ruyan? There are rumors in the market..."

Then he glanced at Mu Zhengyi with a hint of ridicule in his eyes and continued,

"Ah! Rumor has it that you've been having a passionate affair with Miss He Xiaowei recently. Is it possible that after you got Miss He, you've forgotten about me, the withered flower? How can this flower of yours compare to the fragrance of wild flowers?"

When Mu Zhengyi heard the name "He Xiaowei", his brows furrowed and his face suddenly turned gloomy.

The hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly, obviously trying hard to suppress the anger in his heart.

Jiang Chen also noticed Mu Zhengyi's reaction and thought that this silly nerd had been fooled.

Mu Zhengyi suddenly stood up, his eyes as sharp as a knife, staring straight at Jiang Chen.

The noise at the banquet instantly subsided a little because of Mu Zhengyi's sudden action. Everyone turned their heads to look over here, and a hint of tension filled the air.

Jiang Chen slowly turned his head and saw Mu Zhengyi's angry expression. He raised his eyebrows slightly and showed a meaningful smile.

"What's wrong with Master Mu?" Jiang Chen asked calmly, with a hint of teasing in his tone.

Mu Zhengyi responded coldly: "Your Highness, Xiaowei is my future wife. Please respect yourself."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone gasped and the atmosphere of the entire banquet suddenly became tense.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, a sharp look flashing in his eyes. "Oh? Fiancée? Then I have to ask, do you and Miss He have a token of love?"

Mu Zhengyi gritted his teeth and said, "No token!"

Jiang Chen then asked, "No token? Did you exchange engagement letters?"

Mu Zhengyi snorted coldly, "This matter is still under discussion, and the engagement letter has not yet been exchanged. But Miss He is indeed my fiancée, and Prime Minister He has personally agreed."

Jiang Chen smiled calmly upon hearing this: "Since there is no token of trust and we haven't exchanged engagement letters yet, how can there be a fiancée?"

"And Mr. Mu, you're worrying too much. Miss He and I are just friends of gentlemen, and we have absolutely no other intentions."

Hearing this, Mu Zhengyi breathed a sigh of relief.

But Jiang Chen was extremely disgusted with Mu Zhengyi, just as the Thirteenth Princess said,

Mu Zhengyi is not worthy of Xiao Weier!

"At least that's the case now!" Jiang Chen stared at Mu Zhengyi and said in a serious tone.

"You!" Mu Zhengyi was so angry when he heard Jiang Chen's words that he couldn't speak!

Seeing this, Liu Ruyan quickly stepped forward to smooth things over, saying softly, "Master Mu, you misunderstood.

"His Highness the Sixteenth and Miss He are just ordinary friends. We should not get angry at this grand banquet. We should stay calm and be happy."

Mu Zhengyi's expression eased slightly when he heard this, but he was still furious.

He snorted coldly and saluted: "I hope so."

Liu Ruyan then said to Jiang Chen, "Sixteenth Prince..."

Unexpectedly, before Liu Ruyan could finish her words, Jiang Chen reached in and pinched her hard.

"Ouch! It hurts!"

Tears welled up in her eyes, making her look delicate and fragile, but she knew Jiang Chen's warning and could only endure it silently.

Jiang Chong stood up suddenly, his eyes wide open, and shouted, "Jiang Chen! You despicable fellow, how dare you bully Ruyan!"

Jiang Chen smiled leisurely, then grabbed another handful and said coldly, "Yes, didn't you see it?"

Seeing Liu Ruyan's pitiful appearance, Jiang Chong said indignantly, "Don't be so arrogant. I want to go... go..."

Jiang Chen smiled calmly, raised an eyebrow and asked, "Where are you going? Are you going to report me to the Emperor? Be careful or you'll be grounded for another month."

"Oh~~" Everyone finally understood why the Fifth Prince, who used to frequent Tianxiang Pavilion, had not been there for a month.

Jiang Chong couldn't even utter a harsh word. His face turned ashen with anger and he could only sit down in a sullen manner.
