Jing Xi looked at Yan Wan, who was standing there in a daze, and silently thought to herself, perhaps she was having a very hard time in modern times.

Unlike me, I have a warm family, loving parents, a cute and obedient younger sister, and comrades-in-arms in the modern world. That's why I feel I can't stay in this feudal society and want to go back to the modern world all the time.

Jing Xi patted Yan Wan's shoulder, shrugged indifferently, and said, "It's just a man, right? I'll help you. Oh, by the way, this is a thank-you gift for the Nourishing Essence Pill, not something I did specifically to help you."

Forget it, she's about the same age as my modern-day sister. If she wants a man, I'll give him to her. It's not like she wants the stars in the sky.

Looking at the female lead who pretended to be indifferent but was actually being tsundere, Yan Wan smiled and said, "Yes, yes, thank you Jing Xi. I will work harder and give you more Nourishing Yuan Pills to thank you."

"Don't even try, just this once. I won't help you next time," Jing Xi said with a haughty expression.

"Who do you like? Tell me first, and I'll see how I can help you."

"King Han"

"Prince Han? You like him? That man is dangerous."

"Have you met?" Yan Wan's heart tightened. So the female lead and the second male lead had met before the Hundred Flowers Banquet?

“Yesterday, when I was out shopping, I saw him riding his horse through the street. We made eye contact, and I felt that this person was very dangerous and I should stay away from him,” Jing Xi said nonchalantly.

"Why don't you choose someone else? The old emperor has six sons, why don't you pick another one? No, the fifth and sixth sons are too young, they're not even fully grown yet, those two won't do. That leaves four. Aside from the dangerous Prince Han and the amorous Third Prince, why don't you consider the Crown Prince or the Fourth Prince?"

“I think the Crown Prince is better. He is handsome and gentle. If you two get married, you will be the mother of the nation. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?” Jing Xi persuaded enthusiastically.

Yan Wan was speechless. "Sister, you don't treat me like an outsider at all. You're promoting your husband to someone else. You're definitely one of the most unique female protagonists in time-travel novels."

"Jingxi, I like Prince Han, I don't like anyone else." Yan Wan hurriedly pulled Jingxi, who was still imagining the wonderful life after marrying the Crown Prince.

Jing Xi looked at Yan Wan with exasperation, "Sigh, why is this child so stubborn?" She was really getting angry.

He turned around, waved his hand, and rubbed his forehead, saying, "I know, I know. You'd better think of a way yourself! Prince Han is too dangerous. I don't know how to take him down either. Good luck."

"Alright, the banquet is about to start. You'd better go back to your seat and sit down. Watch how I stun everyone later." Jing Xi said confidently.

"Alright, Jingxi, be careful in the future. You've caused quite a stir at the Jing residence recently, and some noble ladies from the capital might come looking for trouble with you later. The banquet is about to start, I'll head over first! I wish Jingxi all the best tonight." Yan Wan looked at the confident and clueless Jingxi in front of her and couldn't help but feel a headache. Sigh, why is this female lead so different from the one described in the novel? Did I transmigrate into the wrong book?

It seems that the book only depicts one side of the characters, but people have countless facets. How can you confine them to a book? Only by experiencing it firsthand can you feel that they are vivid and real people, the protagonists of their own lives, not just passersby or NPCs. They also have joys and sorrows, and they are loved by others. Everyone is the protagonist of their own life.

"Mother, your daughter is back." Yan Wan smiled as she walked towards her mother.

"Yes, Wan'er is back. Sit down and rest for a while. Are you hungry? The banquet will start soon." Mother Yan looked at her daughter tenderly.

"His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived! The Third Prince, Fourth Prince, Fifth Prince, and Sixth Prince have arrived!"

"His Majesty the Emperor has arrived! Her Majesty the Empress has arrived!"

All officials of the fifth rank and above, along with their relatives, rose and shouted in unison: "Your subject/your wife/your daughter greets Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty greets Your Highness, long live Your Majesty!"

"Greetings, Your Highness. May Your Highness live a thousand years!"

Yan Wan secretly glanced at the people on the high seat. The emperor had a dignified expression, but he was clearly a handsome middle-aged man. The empress was virtuous and gentle, and her face showed almost no signs of aging; she was still beautiful.

The Crown Prince seems to have inherited the best qualities of both the Empress and the Emperor; no wonder he's considered the male lead! He's handsome, gentle, and polite. The other princes, born to the four concubines, each have their own unique characteristics and are all quite handsome.

"Rise, my esteemed subjects. No need for formalities. Please make yourselves at home today."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."
