"Yes, Your Majesty, I will teach her a lesson in the future and will never let her be so presumptuous again!"

Xiao Wanning stared blankly at Emperor Shunqing.

Xiao Wanning stared at Emperor Shunqing in a daze. She had not expected that Emperor Shunqing would suddenly attack her. She had to know that she had been like this before, and not only had she not been punished by her father, but he had praised her for being straightforward and cute. How could she be considered unruly now?

Seeing that she was still unconvinced and actually wanted to argue with Emperor Shunqing, Concubine Yuan was so scared that she quickly made a face to the nanny beside her and asked her to take Xiao Wanning away. You must know that the times are different now. Emperor Shunqing now has a grudge against the Yuan family and naturally will not give them a good face. Now she can only secretly plan for Xiao Jinrui to have a chance.

Seeing the seriousness in Concubine Yuan's eyes, Xiao Wanning lowered her eyes and said nothing. She bowed slightly and sat back down.

After what happened with Xiao Wanning, everyone clearly understood that Emperor Shunqing was in a bad mood at the moment, and he also had something in mind. Concubine Yuan had been in favor until now, but now she had repeatedly aroused Emperor Shunqing's dislike. It would be difficult for her to regain her favor in a short time, and this day was probably about to change.

No matter how everyone sighed, it did not affect Xiao Jingchuan at all. When he thought about his purpose today, even when looking at Emperor Shunqing's gloomy face, Xiao Jingchuan felt rare joy. Even the corners of his mouth could not help but rise slightly to express his good mood.

Emperor Shunqing felt even worse when he saw them being so open and honest. He was so angry that he had no place to vent his anger. But he forced him to come here without considering his feelings. It was really hateful.

However, when he thought about how much he owed Xiao Jingchuan, he only wanted to make up for it, so he naturally would not really blame him.

He also wanted to know which girl had made him so worried that she came to him in person and asked him to cooperate. You know, since Yunlan passed away, they had not been so close for a long time.

Suppressing his curiosity, Emperor Shunqing looked around at the women of marriageable age below, hoping to find the one that made Xiao Jingchuan obsessed, but he found that he had no clue. He had no choice but to give up this naive idea. As long as Xiao Jingchuan liked her, he would know sooner or later.

At this time, the banquet was nearing its end. Xiao Jinrui couldn't help but glance at Concubine Yuan. Concubine Yuan nodded slightly, and then Xiao Jinrui walked out directly.

Originally, according to Concubine Yuan's intention, she would directly ask for an imperial decree to grant the marriage. Regardless of Jiang Shuyu's wishes, it would be her honor to marry Prince Rui. She would not have the opportunity to refute at that time. I'm afraid she would be too happy to do so.

But Xiao Jinrui refused to do so. After meeting her several times, Xiao Jinrui always had a special feeling for Jiang Shuyu and was vaguely attracted to her. If possible, he hoped to get her affirmation in person. Wouldn't that be more secure? That's why he wrote this letter to invite her.

Jiang Shuyu sat upright in her seat. A palace maid took advantage of the gap between pouring wine to secretly put a piece of letter into her hand. Looking at the familiar handwriting on the letter, Jiang Shuyu's eyes sank slightly.

The corners of her mouth curled up with a hint of sarcasm. Acting like this was more attractive than in her previous life, but she was no longer the same person as before, so she would not be fooled by it.

Seeing Jiang Wanrong staring at her with resentment on her face, Jiang Shuyu smiled at her. Jiang Shuyu's gaze was too direct, and Jiang Wanrong's face paused and froze in an instant.

The two of them were sitting next to each other, and Jiang Wanrong was caught red-handed. She could only look away awkwardly.

Seeing Yuan Caijun staring at her with a sharp gaze, she couldn't help but shudder. She actually forgot to create opportunities for Yuan Caijun and the other man.

Just when she was about to lead Jiang Shuyu aside, she was hit by something. Jiang Wanrong was curious and immediately lowered her head to open it. Seeing the familiar words on it, Jiang Wanrong couldn't help but feel happy.

She said that Prince Rui had a special liking for her, and now it seems that her guess was right. Looking at the place where they were invited, Jiang Wanrong could no longer suppress the throbbing in her heart. Seeing that Xiao Jinrui was no longer in his seat, she immediately stood up and left.

Jiang Shuyu picked up the wine glass and shook it gently. She watched Jiang Wanrong stand up and leave, with a slight smile on her lips. Then she brought the wine glass to her lips and took a sip. The familiar aroma of wine instantly filled her entire mouth, making her look a little dazed.

Xiao Jingchuan had been paying attention to her, watching her drink a lot of fruit wine unconsciously, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes. You know, although this fruit wine is sweet, it has a strong aftereffect. This girl drank it as if it were water. It would be strange if she didn't get drunk.

Looking at Yuan Caijun who was glaring at her, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Xiao Jingchuan's eyes, and then he called Yifeng over and whispered a few words to him.

When I looked back, I found that Jiang Shuyu had disappeared.

Xiao Jingchuan's face changed instantly, and he hurriedly looked for Jiang Shuyu. Only when he saw Jiang Shuyu did Xiao Jingchuan feel relieved.

At this time, Jiang Wanrong followed the instructions in the letter and came to Yixin Palace, but found that there was no one inside. She heard a sound coming from inside, suppressed her doubts, and pushed the door open and walked in.

Seeing the looming figure inside, Jiang Wanrong couldn't help but feel happy, and then she walked towards it. Through a layer of gauze curtains, Jiang Wanrong bowed slightly and saluted: "Greetings, His Royal Highness Prince Rui!"

After waiting for a long time without getting a response from Xiao Jinrui, Jiang Wanrong could not help but muster up the courage to gently lift the gauze curtain. Looking at Xiao Jinrui's forbearing look, she felt very puzzled and could not help but bow again:

"Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Rui...ah..."

Before Jiang Wanrong could finish, Xiao Jinrui pulled her over. Jiang Wanrong couldn't help but scream. Looking at Xiao Jinrui in front of her, she immediately stopped screaming and called out softly, "Prince Rui..."

"Why is it you?" Seeing that the person in front of him was Jiang Wanrong, Xiao Jinrui's heart sank. Suppressing the impatience in his heart, Xiao Jinrui could not help but stand up with difficulty. At this time, he also reacted. He was afraid that he had been tricked by others.

Xiao Jinrui's eyes were filled with anxiety. He looked at Jiang Wanrong and said, "Hurry, get out of here."

Jiang Wanrong was naturally familiar with the fiery look in Xiao Jinrui's eyes. She had thought that getting close to Xiao Jinrui would take some effort, but she didn't expect that even God was helping him. If she didn't seize the opportunity, then when would she be able to marry King Rui?

After making up her mind, Jiang Wanrong looked at Xiao Jinrui with a puzzled expression. She then picked up a handkerchief and carefully wiped the sweat from his forehead, her eyes filled with worry. "Your Highness, what's wrong with you? Why are you so hot?"
