Prince Yan showed her the way. Before leaving the garden, Jiang Nian bowed again and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

There was another silence. As the person on the other side didn't speak for a long time, Jiang Nian quietly looked up.

Just one glance, then lowered his head again.

This King of Yan was really a bit scary. The innate pressure from him made her not like being with him at all.

Just when Jiang Nian thought he wouldn't speak, a voice finally came from above his head: "Well, go ahead."

Jiang Nian turned around, remembered something, and looked back at King Yan.

She took out some snacks from her sleeve that she had hidden at the banquet.

"This is for Your Highness, as a token of gratitude for your Highness the Prince of Yan's rescue today."

Regardless of whether King Yan wanted it or not, he just stuffed the thing into his palm.

Prince Yan instinctively curled his fingers.

The paper bag was soaked with candy, and some sugar stains seeped out and stained his knuckles.

This hand had just covered her lips.

The King of Yan took a deep breath, not knowing to whom he was speaking. "Go check."

The surrounding tree branches moved slightly, but soon returned to calm.

On the other side, Jiang Mingyuan had a dark face and said nothing.

He brought Jiang Nian here to send her to Prince Jin's bed, but when Prince Jin asked about her, Jiang Nian was nowhere to be found.

The King of Jin sent people to look for it, but found nothing.

I came to the poetry meeting, but I didn't see anyone. I don't know how Prince Jin was feeling, but Jiang Mingyuan was very angry.

When the other end heard that His Royal Highness Prince Yan was leaving, Prince Jin hurried out to see him off. As soon as he left, Jiang Nian came back with lotus steps.

When Jiang Nian came back, Jiang Mingyuan's first reaction was to question him.

"Where have you been?"

"Sitting there made me feel bored, so I went for a walk in another garden."

He looked at her hair and asked, "Why is the hairpin on your head crooked?"

Jiang Nian touched it subconsciously. It must have been accidentally rubbed by Prince Yan when he pulled her down.

"I just met a kitten in the garden. It was very naughty and kept trying to grab the hairpin on my head." After saying this, he looked around and saw that many people had left. "Is the poetry gathering over? Then let's go back too."

Just as she turned around, Jiang Mingyuan grabbed her and said, "Why are your clothes dirty?"

Jiang Nian looked over and frowned. Isn't this too suspicious?

Jiang Nian just said that he went to see the flowers and got away with it.

In the carriage, the two sat close together. Jiang Mingyuan looked at her again: "Why do you smell like cedar?"

Jiang Nian's eyelids twitched. "Dog nose? Can it smell this?"

"There are a lot of people at Prince Jin's Mansion today. Maybe he bumped into me by accident?"

Jiang Mingyuan kept staring at her, as if thinking about the truthfulness of her words.

Jiang Mingyuan is a cautious and suspicious person. Jiang Nian doesn't want to fall out with him when he can't protect himself.

Jiang Nian had a calm expression on his face, and he made up some trivial stories about admiring the flowers in the garden. Jiang Mingyuan didn't see what he meant, and thought he was overthinking it, so he asked, "Are you happy to be out today?"

Jiang Nian held his arm affectionately, smiling sweetly: "As long as I can be with big brother, I will be happy."

"Then I'll take you there someday."

She was unwilling to not let her meet Prince Jin in person today, and she would not give up until she was sent to Prince Jin's mansion.

Jiang Nian said aggrievedly: "Next time we should go to a place with fewer people. I want to play with my brother. There are so many people here today that my brother can't even take care of me."

The corners of Jiang Mingyuan's mouth twitched slightly. He wanted to take care of her, but she ran away as soon as the party started and came back after the party ended. He didn't even see her shadow.

"Then remember to stay beside me next time and don't run around anymore."

He said sullenly, "I'll remember it."

After returning home, Jiang Nian didn't want to accompany him to act anymore, so he went back to Qingfangyuan alone, while Jiang Mingyuan went to Qingfengyuan.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw the maid coaxing Jiang Nian by the bed, but Jiang Nian covered herself with the quilt and didn't say a word.

When the maid saw someone coming in, she was immediately overjoyed: "The eldest master is here?"

Jiang Mingyuan waved his hand, signaling the maid to go down.

When they were alone in the room, Jiang Mingyuan sat down beside the bed and asked softly, "Are you angry?"

Jiang Nian remained silent under the quilt. Jiang Mingyuan said softly, "Don't be angry. I brought you a gift."

A muffled voice came from under the quilt: "I'm not angry. Give the gift to my sister. She is your real sister. It's only right for you to take her out. Don't come to see me again in the future. My sister will be unhappy if she finds out."

Jiang Mingyuan frowned slightly: "What are you talking about?"

Isn’t it for you that I brought Jiang Nian with me?

He didn't say this out loud.

Jiang Nian is the purest snowflake in his heart, so it is better not to tell her such dirty things.

People like Jiang Nian should disappear early, which is good for everyone.

Jiang Nian was sulking, and Jiang Mingyuan suddenly became depressed. He didn't say much and didn't give any explanation until he left.

Jiang Nian's plan went smoothly and he was very happy at the moment.

The Yan family’s marriage is not something she can handle alone. It’s like sending a pillow when you’re sleepy, and then let Jiang Mingyuan worry about it.

He wanted to send her to Prince Jin's mansion, but she was already engaged, and Prince Jin would definitely not tolerate it.

As for the entanglement with King Jin...we'll talk about it later. The most important thing should be solved first.

He wrote something on the table and handed it to Baozhu: "Go and send a letter to the lady, saying that I miss her and asking her to ask His Highness for permission to let me visit her tomorrow."

"Yes."

......

Prince Yan's Mansion.

It was common for the light in Prince Yan's study to remain on until midnight.

Today, Prince Yan dealt with important matters as soon as he returned, and several subordinates entered the study one after another.

I became suspicious as soon as I entered the room. There was a paper bag on the prince's desk with a small hole opened. It contained cinnamon candy from Qingfangzhai.

Girls’ favorite food.

Just placed on the table, it is extremely eye-catching, but out of tune with the whole room.

Several people didn't dare to grumble openly, but they were shocked in their hearts. Doesn't His Highness hate sweet things the most?

His Highness would definitely not buy such things, so it was given by the girl?

Your Highness accepted something from a girl?!

Could it be that his prince is really about to have a sudden realization?

"Is there anything else?" A cold voice suddenly sounded, and the few people came to their senses and quickly retreated.

Not long after the person in front left, someone quietly entered the study in the dark.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Yan."

"Checked it out?"

The subordinate handed over what he had found: "Your Highness, please review it."

Prince Yan opened the booklet, took a look at it, and frowned slightly.

Not for anything else, just for the words "Former General's Mansion" on it.

It was found that Jiang Nian had indeed been to Baiyun Temple, but he had been at the border for the past ten years and it was unclear whether he knew medicine.

The King of Yan was obviously dissatisfied with this result.

"Your Highness, do you need me to continue investigating the rest of the Jiang family?"

"No need."

......

On the second day, news came early from the princess's mansion that Lin missed her daughter. The princess sympathized with her and sent someone to pick up Jiang Nian.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Jiang quickly dressed and took Feng straight to Qingfang Courtyard.
