A short night is hard to please! A stunningly handsome prince dotes on her exclusively.

"you……"

Yuan Huaixue was so provoked by her actions that she was speechless. She pointed at Hua Buyu, her face instantly turning bright red.

He looked down at his hands that were tightly holding him, and then saw Hua Buyu wink at him meaningfully. He instantly understood and didn't pull her out as usual.

"Brother Ling, you..."

Seeing that the two ignored her and that the woman was giving Ling-gege flirtatious glances, and that they were being so intimate, Yuan Huaixue was almost in tears, her voice even sounding a little sob.

Xin Moyan was completely bewildered by what she saw, but judging from the princess's reaction, Yuan Huaixue had a crush on her brother? So... Bu Yu was deliberately trying to provoke this princess.

Xin Moling didn't release Kai Buyu's hand immediately. Instead, she looked up at Yuan Huaixue and said calmly, "Whom did Your Highness just order the Imperial Guards to capture?"

"Brother Ling, what is your relationship with this woman?"

Yuan Huaixue stared intently at Hua Buyu, her eyes filled with disbelief. Her brother Ling had never been so intimate with other women, and he even allowed this damned woman to hug him. She would never accept it!

"Your Highness has not yet answered Mo Ling's question."

The cold and distant tone made Yuan Huaixue feel wronged instantly. Her lips pursed into a straight line, and tears kept welling up in her eyes.

"Brother Ling, this woman's origins are unknown. I had the Imperial Guards arrest her. What's wrong with that?"

“Buyu was invited to the palace to celebrate the Empress Dowager’s birthday. She is not…of dubious origin. If the princess thinks there is something wrong with her, then let the Imperial Guards take me and this general to the Imperial Prison for His Majesty to decide on our fate!”

When he mentioned that his origins were unknown, he deliberately paused and glanced at Hua Buyu before continuing.

In Yuan Huaixue and the others' eyes, it was Xin Moling's comforting look, but only Hua Buyu could see the sharp look in his eyes. Did this guy suspect her of being a spy?

"You...you guys...Brother Ling, what exactly is your relationship?"

Yuan Huaixue's eyes widened, seemingly unable to believe what she was seeing. How could Brother Ling be so gentle and considerate to that woman?

“Your Highness, Ah Ling invited me to the palace banquet, which means she considers me family. Don’t you understand our relationship?”

After Hua Buyu finished speaking, she didn't forget to get even closer to Xin Moling, almost hanging half of her body on him.

Although Xin Moling really wanted to throw her out, she held back and let her do whatever she wanted.

"Ah Ling? You...you actually called out like that..."

"Waaaaah~ Brother Ling... how... how could you do this to me?"

Yuan Huaixue burst into tears instantly, completely disregarding her status as a royal princess, and pointed at the two of them, unable to speak for a long time.

"Waaaaah~ Brother Ling~ You actually~ I hate you all~~ Waaaaah~~~"

The large group of people following Yuan Huaixue were completely dumbfounded. What was going on?

"Princess...Princess, please stop crying."

"your Highness……"

"What should I do?"

Xin Moling grew impatient with her crying and gave Yuan Huaixue a cold glance. The other young ladies from noble families immediately fell silent. She then said, "Princess, please calm down. If Moling has offended you, then I will personally go before the Emperor to apologize later. With so many noble families present, it is not appropriate for you to lose your composure like this."

Yuan Huaixue's eyes were swollen like two walnuts. When she looked up at Xin Moling, her eyes were full of grievance and resentment. Then she stared at the two of them holding each other's arms tightly. Suddenly, she covered her mouth and ran away crying. A large group of young ladies from noble families, palace servants and guards all chased after Yuan Huaixue. The scene was quite spectacular.

Hua Buyu clicked her tongue in exasperation and shrugged helplessly.

"Can you let go now?"

The voice suddenly came from above her head, startling her so much that she immediately let go of his hand and then smiled ingratiatingly at him.

"Hmph! Hua Buyu, I just told you not to cause trouble, and I've only been gone a short while, and you've already provoked Princess Jiaen."

"Can you get to the bottom of things before blaming me? It was clearly that princess who was causing trouble. We were just enjoying the flowers when she came over and started laughing at Yan Yan's looks with those women. I just responded to her, and she started yelling and threatening to throw me into the imperial prison. If you had arrived a step later, your sister and I would probably have been killed by the imperial guards."

He also believed Hua Buyu's words, after all, the princess had never liked Yan'er, but with Hongluan around, the Imperial Guards did not dare to easily attack them.

"Yan'er, were you frightened just now?"

Xin Moyan shook her head and said apologetically, "Brother, that princess ran away crying just now. Won't that be troublesome?"

"It's alright! Perhaps Gaen is going to complain to his aunt or the kings. Brother will explain everything later."

Hua Buyu quickly moved closer to the two of them, looking Xin Moling up and down with ill intent, and gossiped, "Xin Moling, I didn't expect that your refined and elegant appearance would attract the princess's favor. I'm a little curious, why did you treat her like that just now? Although you weren't as barbaric and rude as you were to me, your cold and ruthless tone was too hurtful to the young girl's heart!"

"What does it have to do with you?"

Hua Buyu immediately disliked what she was hearing, put her hands on her hips and pointed at him, saying, "Why are you talking like that prince? What does it have to do with me? I just think it would be good for you, General, to become the emperor's son-in-law. It's just that the princess is willful and capricious, and I'm afraid my Yan Yan will suffer from her in the future."

Xin Moling snorted coldly, then said, "Don't worry, I will not become a prince consort, nor will I let Yan'er suffer any injustice."

"That makes sense. If you had feelings for that princess, you wouldn't have cooperated with me so readily. Yan Yan, the princess's shocked expression was absolutely hilarious! Hahaha~~~"

Hua Buyu burst into laughter in front of the brother and sister, showing no concern whatsoever that he had just offended the princess.

"Oh! I arrived late and missed the magnificent sight."

Lou Shenghan was still wearing his purple-gold python robe and a gilded openwork pearl crown on his head. The pearls on the crown were even larger than the private collections of the kings. He walked towards them unhurriedly with a meaningful smile on his lips.

"What are you doing here?"

"General Ling, don't be so stingy. After all, we're all here for the banquet today, so it's fine for us to come together. Oh, isn't this Miss Hua? I didn't expect Miss Hua to be here at the palace today. What a coincidence!"

"You're the one who's a 'pretty girl'! Your whole family are 'pretty girls'!"

Upon hearing this, Hua Buyu flew into a rage and roared at him, leaving everyone stunned.

Lou Shenghan snapped out of his daze and said, annoyed, "Miss's surname is Hua, so what's wrong with calling me Miss Hua? Why are you so angry?"

"You can only call me Miss Hua, or Hua Buyu. Don't let me hear the words 'Miss Hua' again."
