She asked eagerly, "Master Pei Jue?"

Pei Jue bowed respectfully: "I, Pei Jue, greet Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Cheng Zhenzhen stood up and went forward to grab his arm, but he dodged it without leaving a trace.

He said calmly, "I wonder why Her Royal Highness the Princess has come here this time?"

Cheng Zhenzhen stared at him for a while with a frown before slowly speaking: "Pei Jue, I can help you destroy Luo Feng!"

Pei Jue widened his eyes in shock, and it took him a moment to realize that he had lost his composure.

He immediately coughed, his face flushed as he said, "I don't understand what you mean, sir. Why would you ruin Luo Feng for no reason?"

Cheng Zhenzhen raised an eyebrow sarcastically: "Don't pretend to be ignorant when you know the truth. Others may not know what you are thinking, but I can guess it. If there is wind, why is there Jue?"

Pei Jue subconsciously clenched his fists, and the corners of his cold lips gradually curled up.

Cheng Zhenzhen walked up to him and said, "Trust me, I can help you. Maybe we can both get what we need!"

Pei Jue raised his eyebrows in surprise: "What do you want?"

Cheng Zhenzhen smiled smugly: "Of course I'll marry Zhan Yan. We can work together to destroy Luo Feng and Lin Yiwan together. That way, we can both get what we want!"

Pei Jue's heart suddenly started beating wildly. Is it that easy?

Sensing his concern, Cheng Zhenzhen lowered her voice and said, "As long as we plan carefully, nothing will go wrong. Believe me!"

After a moment of silence, Pei Jue finally asked, "So what are your plans?"

Cheng Zhenzhen replied quietly, "To plan, someone must be sacrificed after all!"

The next day, the seldom-seen *** suddenly decided to hold a pre-exam banquet for the young men who were about to take the exam.

And those noble ladies from aristocratic families were also invited!

Everyone knew that this was a blind date opportunity provided by *** for the noble sons.

After all, after the exams are over, the marriage should be decided.

If they had already fallen in love at the banquet, then the marriage could have been arranged easily.

So all the noble ladies dressed up as best as they could, and Lin Yiwan was also among the invited guests.

She originally didn't want to go, but since it was ***'s place, she had to go to help save the situation.

She and Zhan Yan arrived at the empress's mansion in a carriage, and saw the empress in her gorgeous attire hurriedly approaching: "Wanwan, I've been waiting for you!"

Lin Yiwan said helplessly: "It's a party you hosted, so I have to crawl to it, right?"

*** reached out and pinched her puffy cheeks: "You are the only one who would say that. I will remember your kindness. When your child is born, I will give him a big red envelope!"

She helped Lin Yiwan into the warm room, and a noble lady who had arrived earlier came forward to greet them.

Zhan Yan stood behind the two of them, seeming a little out of place.

*** couldn't help but glance at him. "Why would you worry about leaving Wanwan in my care? Hurry up and go to the courtyard outside. When those noble sons of the aristocratic families come, you can help greet them. This is also your chance to make friends with future dignitaries, isn't it?"

Zhan Yan glanced at Lin Yiwan, and when he saw her nod, he took his leave.

*** couldn't help but tease, "Wanwan, it looks like Zhan Yan has almost tied you to his belt. Why is he so worried?"

Lin Yiwan couldn't help but blush: "He doesn't, it's not so much that he's worried about me, but rather that he's worried about the baby in my belly. He's afraid that something might happen to him!"

*** patted her belly gently: "It's only natural. Anyone would be nervous. If I hadn't seen you in such a long time and missed you so much, I wouldn't bother you to make this trip again!"

Lin Yiwan said, "It's okay. It's the late stage of pregnancy now, so it's time to move around properly!"

Just as he finished speaking, he heard a greeting from outside: "Greetings, Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Lin Yiwan looked over in surprise and saw Cheng Zhenzhen coming in a flamboyant red dress.

She first saluted the princess, then looked at Lin Yiwan with ill intent: "Why? Madam Hou won't greet this princess?"

Not to mention that Lin Yiwan is not feeling well now when she sits down. Even if she is fine, she will not indulge Cheng Zhenzhen's bad temper.

She is just a barbarian princess, why is she so arrogant?

She said casually, "In the Sheng Dynasty, the Emperor and the Queen both allowed me not to greet them. Why? Are you of higher status than them?"

"You!" Cheng Zhenzhen's face immediately turned blue with anger.

She could see that when it came to arrogance, Zhan Yan and Lin Yiwan were both stronger than the other.

The one who said he was not convinced came to fight, and the other one didn't take her, a barbarian princess, seriously at all. He really deserved to be punished.

Sensing her anger, the emperor immediately reminded her, "Princess Cheng, today's banquet was supposed to be for the noble ladies and sons of our Sheng Dynasty. Don't you know how you got this invitation? If you intend to cause trouble, please leave immediately!"

Cheng Zhenzhen's expression changed. She had indeed gotten the post with great difficulty, but she must not be driven away first, otherwise, she would not be able to witness the wonderful show that was about to be staged.

She could only force herself to swallow her anger and said, "Don't worry, Zhenzhen will never ruin your party. Zhenzhen will be careful with her words and actions from now on!"

*** ignored her and continued chatting with Lin Yiwan.

More and more noble ladies from aristocratic families came, and the warm room became lively in an instant.

Lin Yiwan felt a little tired of sitting and wanted to stand up and walk around.

At this time, a maid came hurriedly and said, "Madam Hou, Madam Lin wants you to come over. She said she has something important to tell you!"

Lin Yiwan's eyes widened in surprise: "Aunt? She's here too?"

Without saying a word, she immediately walked out of the warm room.

When she reached the end of the corridor, she saw Sang Qiutang and Meng Yunshang whispering to each other.

She called out directly: "Aunt, Yunshang?"

The two of them quickly waved at her, "Wanwan, come here quickly and take a look at Zhan Yan. We're almost pissed off!"

Lin Yiwan couldn't help but be curious, what made them so angry?

She looked in the direction the two men pointed their fingers, and saw a noble lady in a goose yellow brocade dress bowing tenderly to Zhan Yan.

She has a beautiful figure. Although her appearance cannot be seen clearly, her demeanor is very charming.

Lin Yiwan subconsciously asked, "Who is she?"

Sang Qiutang snorted, "Who else could it be? Isn't that Gu Lanxin, the eldest daughter of the Gu family? How could an unmarried girl like her chase after a married man?"

Lin Yiwan didn't care too much about it. After all, she believed that Zhan Yan would know his limits.

She blocked their eyes and said, "Stop looking. Zhan Yan is not that kind of person. No matter how pretty a girl is, she is not as good as a strand of my hair in his eyes!"
