A red apricot is about to cheat on you

She took the thick envelope from Qiu Chan's hand, slowly opened it, and began to read the pages one by one. The more she read, the brighter her smile became. She seemed to see countless banknotes flying towards her. The ladies in the capital were not short of money. "Yes, you did a great job! These two hundred and fifty taels, I will find a way to deal with them after I leave the palace!"

Yi Duoer's tone was very relaxed. Qiu Chan wanted to tell her that she had actually paid all the silver, but after hesitating for a moment, she still didn't tell her!

She was afraid that if she told her, she would know that she had secretly reported her to Chu Jingchen without telling her. She was afraid that she would feel alienated from herself.

After reading it, Yi Duoer carefully put it away and asked where her master was. If it weren't for her status as Princess Ye, it would be inconvenient for her to have open contact with him. Otherwise, she really wanted to be by his side all the time.

Qiu Chan knew how important Yi Duoer was to her master, so she told him everything about her being in the Imperial Study. Qiu Chan was afraid that Yi Duoer would go to the Imperial Study, as not everyone could enter. Just as she was about to persuade him,

But Yi Duoer only planned to take a sneak peek at him near the imperial study.

Qiu Chan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the two of them came to the vicinity of the imperial study. Yi Duoer, who was in an excited state, jumped all the way. When she passed a corner, she bumped into An Tingfeng (Jiang Lin) who was coming towards her!

The two envelopes fell to the ground at the same time and mixed together. Qiu Chan quickly supported Yi Duoer and said in a tone of reproach: "Prince An, are you walking with the wind?"

After An Tingfeng (Jiang Lin) saw who was coming, he bowed to Yi Duoer and apologized. "My apologies, Third Princess. I didn't mean it."

Yi Duo'er was not a rude or unreasonable person. Seeing that the person in front of her was a prince, and that she was walking so fast, she did not get angry. "It's okay, it's just that I walked too fast! Sorry!"

After exchanging pleasantries, the two picked up the seemingly identical thick letters on the ground and left separately. However, what they picked up was not their own, but the other person's!

Not long after, some people came out of the imperial study, including several ministers, including Prime Minister Zhu, and several princes, but there was no sign of Chu Jingchen. Chu Junheng felt a moment of loss in his heart, and then he saw Yi Duoer.

He walked up to her and asked in confusion, "Duo'er, why are you here?" As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Junye came over with a gloomy face.

"I couldn't get along with those young ladies from official families, and it was really boring to stay in the Imperial Garden, so I just wandered around casually."

Her words were tactful and sweet, completely concealing her little thoughts. Chu Junye looked at the envelope in her hand, his thick brows furrowed.

"Not just anyone can come here. Also, what are you holding in your hand?"

His words always had a scolding tone, which even Chu Junheng, who was standing beside him, felt uncomfortable listening to. He wanted to speak up for Yi Duoer, but he always had no time to speak.

Yi Duo'er's snow-white cheeks sank slightly. This bastard, if he didn't scold her a few times a day, he would be unhappy all over! His eyes narrowed slightly in dissatisfaction.

"This is my lifeline. What's the matter? Isn't the Third Prince busy? Do I have to trouble you to ask about every little thing? If you are okay, your Xue'er is in the Imperial Garden. Go find her quickly!"

After saying this, Yi Duo'er blinked at him twice with her lively eyes. Chu Junye was speechless, not knowing what to say for a moment. He just stared at Yi Duo'er sharply. Did she really want him to go find Zhu Qingxue? Did he not care at all?

Yi Duoer didn't want to argue with him again. Since Chu Jingchen was not here, there was no need for her to be here. She looked at Chu Junheng and smiled.

"Brother Xiaowu, the banquet doesn't start until tonight anyway. If you're done, how about we call the Ninth Princess and Princess Liyue for another fight? I'm going to take back my shame in one fell swoop! How do you think?"

As soon as he answered that he was done, Yi Duoer pulled his arm and left, completely ignoring Chu Junye's dark face that could freeze a person to death!

As soon as they left, Chu Jingchen and Li Yue walked out of the imperial study.

Yi Duoer originally wanted to avenge her previous humiliation. The Ninth Princess has always been by Concubine Ye's side. Concubine Ye keeps a close eye on her and took advantage of this banquet to choose a suitable husband for her!

If she didn't get married soon, she might be sent to marry a foreign prince one day! Therefore, Concubine Ye couldn't let her go for the time being.

Originally, Chu Junheng was by her side, but unexpectedly, Concubine Ye had Chu Junheng invited as well, so that he could meet these noble ladies.

Now, Yi Duoer was alone. However, Xie Xingchen saw a familiar figure this time and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his lips. He came to Yi Duoer's side!

"Duo'er, I didn't expect we'd meet again so soon! I hope you're all well!"

Yi Duoer looked closely and smiled incredulously. Isn't this the Xie Xingchen she met in the casino? She pointed at Xie Xingchen and said in disbelief,

"Xie Xingchen, why are you here? I told you, the first time I saw you, I knew you were no ordinary person!"

After she finished speaking, she immediately put her hand down, knowing that it was very rude to point at others. Xie Xingchen was not angry because of her behavior.

Instead, he enthusiastically poured her a cup of hot tea and said, "The Queen is over there, and they all want to be in the spotlight. Why don't you go over and join in the fun?"

Xie Xingchen handed her a cup of hot tea and looked at her with a half-smile. It seemed that this Princess Ye was not favored, otherwise why would no one fawn over her?

Yi Duo'er opened her lips slightly. She had no topic to talk about with them. Each of them was just trying to please Concubine Ye and Zhu Qingxue. She was too lazy to argue with them. It was simply a disgrace to her manners!

Xie Xingchen took the opportunity to ask, "Are you willing to be the Princess of Night?" He didn't know why he asked this. When he said this, he was surprised by his own question for a moment.

Unexpectedly, Yi Duoer denied his question, saying that coming to this world was not her wish. Then, with a distressed face, she smiled wryly and drank the tea in front of her.

Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Xie Xingchen wanted to comfort her! But he didn't know where to start, so he just accompanied her to drink a cup of tea! Everything was said without words!

At the New Year's Eve dinner,

Everyone sat on the floor. The princes and their princesses sat in the upper row. Princess Liyue, Envoy Yingjue, and Xie Xingchen, as the envoy from the Dongli Kingdom, also sat near the edge.

However, the person sitting next to Chu Junye wasn't Yi Duo'er, but Zhu Qingxue. But Yi Duo'er didn't care. She chose to sit in the most secluded seat. She just wanted to get through the banquet smoothly! She had been hiding all day, and many people hadn't seen her. Now, at the banquet, she also chose to sit in a secluded seat, not wanting to stand out.
