Jiang Nian recognized this man; he was the deputy general beside the King of Yan.

She followed the man to the door of the room, and the deputy general pushed the door open and invited her in.

In the room besides Prince Yan there was also Princess Anle. When she saw her come in, she quickly waved and said, "You're here. Come and sit down."

Prince Yan still had a calm expression on his face as he sat aside drinking tea.

Jiang Nian stepped forward and bowed, then was pulled by Princess Anle to sit beside her.

"I heard that you came here with your family today?"

"Yes, my second uncle is back home today."

"I happened to run into my third brother when I went out today, so we came together. Please sit with us for a while before you leave."

Since the princess had spoken, Jiang Nian naturally did not dare to refuse. He raised his eyes and glanced at the King of Yan opposite him. The King of Yan happened to be looking at him as well, so Jiang Nian quickly lowered his head.

"By the way, the tranquilizing medicine bag you gave my mother last time was really good. Do you still have any? I'll bring some back next time I go to the palace."

Prince Yan paused tapping the table, then withdrew his hand, his whole body turned cold, and he looked out the window.

"I also had the sachet made at Wanfutang. I don't have it at home. Your Highness can send someone to Wanfutang to order one."

"Wanfu Hall? Then I'll go there now."

As he said that, he stood up and looked at King Yan: "Third brother, please help me entertain Miss Jiang well, I will be back soon." After saying that, he walked out.

Jiang Nian was dumbfounded. He left just like that?

Turning to look at Prince Yan, he felt awkward if he didn't say anything, so he smiled and said, "Is Your Highness Prince Yan not busy today?"

"Ah."

"I heard that the fish sashimi and fried tofu at Fanlou are very good. Your Highness, have you tried them?"

"Ah."

"By the way, have you used the medicine bag I gave His Highness last time? Was it useful?"

"Ah."

......

Prince Yan kept staring out the window. He just said "hmm" to everything Jiang Nian asked and was unwilling to say another word. He looked like he was in a bad mood.

But she didn't dare leave until someone gave her the order.

Glancing outside, Jiang Nian deliberately asked, "Your Highness has been staring outside since just now. Is there a girl outside that Your Highness likes?"

"Ah."

Just as he finished speaking, King Yan suddenly realized what Jiang Nian had asked and quickly explained: "No."

Jiang Nian couldn't help but chuckle, then immediately apologized: "Your Highness, please forgive me. I just saw that Your Highness seemed unhappy."

Prince Yan coughed lightly and said, "It's okay."

Just when Jiang Nian thought the King of Yan would remain silent, he suddenly spoke: "I heard that you went to Longhua Temple a few days ago?"

"Yes, Your Highness, how did you know?"

"heard."

Not only did we hear that she went to Longhua Temple, we also heard that she went there with Prince Jin. The two of them had made an appointment to go enjoy the snow, and they even almost stayed in the same courtyard.

"Do you like watching the snow so much?"

"what?"

"I'm asking you, do you like appreciating the snow so much? Or... do you like appreciating the snow with King Jin?" The King of Hell's tone was cold and hard, with a hint of inhumanity.

"Not really..."

Before he finished speaking, the King of Yan spoke again: "The snow-capped mountains in the northern frontier stretch endlessly. I used to see them every day there. The ones on Longhua Mountain cannot compare to them."

"Oh."

Of course she knew about the snow-capped mountains in the northern border. The weather there was extremely cold, and the snow on the mountains was difficult to melt all year round. Naturally, it was not comparable to the mountains outside the city.

But why was His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan telling her all this? Was he trying to show off his knowledge? Was he looking down on her climbing Mount Longhua?

But she couldn't go to the northern frontier, so she could only climb the mountains in the capital, so she didn't have to show off in front of her or make fun of her.

"I heard that something happened in your family?" King Yan asked again.

"Your Highness knows this too?"

It has spread throughout the capital, how could I not know about it?

Jiang Nian lowered his eyes and said, "My father lost his official position, and my elder brother and sister had such a thing happen. It is really sad..." As he spoke, he cried softly.

But she still wanted to come to Fanlou for the banquet.

Prince Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and watched her perform.

But he didn't dislike such a cunning woman.

She was a lively person, the brightest color that caught his sight.

Although he knew she was pretending, King Yan couldn't help but pat her on the back and comforted her: "It's okay, I will support you in the future."

Jiang Nian's crying stopped abruptly and his whole body froze.

Your Highness Prince Yan, do you want to listen to what you are saying?

Prince Yan had sat beside her at some point, casting her completely under his shadow, and just looked at her.

She was like a rabbit being targeted by a wild beast, not daring to move.

The King of Yan remained calm and composed, saying, "If you are wronged in the future, instead of going to the King of Jin, you should come to me."

"...Your Highness Prince Yan, you..."

"Your Highness, His Highness Prince Jin!" Someone suddenly broke in from outside, scaring Jiang Nian so much that he stood up suddenly.

A deputy general rushed in and said, "Your Highness, the palace urgently summons you."

Prince Yan slowly stood up and looked at Jiang Nian: "Anle probably won't come back, you should go back."

Jiang Nian was stunned and nodded slowly: "Yes."

After Prince Yan left, Jiang Nian came back to her senses. His Royal Highness Prince Jin...could he have that kind of thoughts about her?

Suddenly she remembered that she had previously blamed everything on Jiang Nian.

If King Yan suspected that Jiang Nian was his savior, he would never stand idly by and watch what happened to the Jiang family, right?

Is this unbelief?

......

Prince Yan walked into the palace and saw Emperor Jianning leaning over his desk reading memorials. His brows had been furrowed since he entered the Qinzheng Hall.

Prince Yan walked into the hall. Before he could even bow or speak, Emperor Jianning quickly waved his hand towards him, "No need for formalities. I called you here today to talk to you about the disaster in Pingchuan."

Pingchuan had just experienced a heavy snowfall last month, causing severe damage. The memorial from there was just submitted today, and this matter could not be delayed, so Emperor Jianning thought of Prince Yan.

In previous years, when a place was hit by a disaster, the Ministry of Revenue would allocate funds and hand them over to the people below to deal with it.

However, in the past few years, corruption was serious and Emperor Jianning did not trust the people under him. Prince Yan had been leading troops for many years and naturally had his own ways. Only if he went would Emperor Jianning feel at ease.

"I'll leave the matter to you. Tell the Ministry of Revenue how much silver you need. I'll make sure this matter is resolved."

"Yes."

Emperor Jianning glanced at his son again and asked, "Didn't I ask you to go to the suburbs with the fifth son last time? I also asked you to hang out with the noble ladies from aristocratic families. Do you have any that you like?"

"Your Majesty, no."

Emperor Jianning sighed, "What do you want? Tell me, and I'll arrange it."

"In my life, I have never thought of getting married."

"Nonsense, you are a prince, how can you not marry? Once this matter is resolved, I will arrange it for you. Okay, go and get ready."

On the other hand, Jiang Nian finally got the news that Pingchuan had suffered a disaster and His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan would go there in person.

Pingchuan, she had always wanted to go to Pingchuan, but Pingchuan was a place with high mountains and long roads, and she was afraid she could not go there alone.

If His Royal Highness Prince Yan goes there...wouldn't there be a chance?

However, Jiang Nian could not go directly to see Prince Yan, so he sent a letter to Princess Anle's mansion that day.
