Liu Zhiyi felt excited.

That’s great. There are so many people at the party, it’s a good opportunity to get some information, so she must go.

"Yes, I understand."

Prince's Study

Jiang Xuanyan was reviewing memorials when he heard some movement at the door. Without looking up, he caught a glimpse of a pair of exquisitely embroidered shoes entering.

The corners of his lips unconsciously rose slightly.

"Why, have you figured it out?"

The visitor paused before walking in again.

"It's good that you've figured it out. I'm a man, so I won't bother with you. Come here and help me grind the ink."

"Ayan——"

Jiang Xuanyan was startled and looked up suddenly, only then he realized that the person standing opposite him was not Shen Ningzhu.

A hint of embarrassment flashed across his face for a moment, but he quickly hid it.

"Why are you here?"

Jiang Qingyi had a gentle smile on her face. She walked up to him gracefully and placed the tray in her hand on Jiang Xuanyan's desk.

"I had nothing to do, so I went to the kitchen and made some cloud cakes myself. I made too much and couldn't finish it myself, so I thought of bringing it over to you to try."

Jiang Xuanyan's expression was indifferent.

"The princess is thoughtful."

After saying that, he picked up the red paper again and got busy.

Jiang Qingyi looked at his cold attitude and felt a little uncomfortable.

"Ayan, we haven't seen each other for five years. How come we've become so distant? In the past, you would never call me Princess in such a cold way."

Jiang Xuanyan's men did not stop, and his attitude remained lukewarm.

"When I was young, I was ignorant and broke the rules. I made the princess laugh at me. It's my fault."

Jiang Qingyi clenched her fists tightly, suppressing the resentment in her heart.

"Ayan, are you... attracted to Miss Shen? Ayan, don't be confused. Although Miss Shen is good, she is of low status and not worthy of you."

"If you really like her, then... just stay by her side and be her bed warmer."

"The position of concubine is really too much of a compliment. I'm afraid that if this continues, sooner or later her appetite will be whetted, and she will have thoughts that she shouldn't have. By then, it will become a disaster."

Jiang Xuanyan finally put down the wolf hair brush in his hand.

He looked at Jiang Qingyi intently.

The narrow and long phoenix eyes showed neither sadness nor joy, but were cold and indifferent, and looked no different from usual.

But Jiang Qingyi could still clearly feel the coolness emanating from his body.

He is angry.

Because she said Shen Ningzhu was lowly, so he got angry? Oh, he really treated her differently from others.

That woman is ignorant and vulgar, and she just rushes around without thinking. Why should A Yan look at her differently?

Besides that vixen face, what else does she have?

Jiang Qingyi's heart was filled with hatred. Suddenly she remembered something and said with a turn of her eyes,

“What a coincidence, I just went to the kitchen and accidentally saw the little maid next to Miss Shen sneaking out of the kitchen. I don’t know what she was doing.”

"Never mind, maybe I saw it wrong."

Jiang Xuanyan's expression eased slightly.

He knew that those two women were not easy to deal with and would never let him suffer.

"Well, I understand. You can go down."

Jiang Qingyi gritted her teeth. Weren't those two planning a hunger strike? She wanted to see how determined they were. If Ayan refused to compromise, would they really stay in the abandoned hospital?

Humph, it would be better to die there!

Jiang Qingyi finally walked out of the study with a gloomy face.

His ears were finally quiet, but Jiang Xuanyan became even more irritated.

It's been several days, why is that woman still so angry and hasn't calmed down yet?

Isn’t she afraid that he will dislike her even more and end her dream of wealth and glory?

Just then, Jiang Yi walked in.

"Your Highness, the eldest daughter of the Xiangfu is hosting a flower viewing banquet tomorrow and has invited you. Do you want to go?"

Jiang Xuanyan refused without even thinking.

"I'm very busy and don't have time to appreciate flowers. Just refuse it."

Jiang Yi twitched the corner of his mouth.

"But... Your Highness, you just proposed, and then you rejected the other party's invitation. Will it be..."

Jiang Xuanyan's face darkened and he glanced at Jiang Yi with a sinister look. Jiang Yi immediately stopped talking, bowed and retreated.

Prince Chen's Mansion

A dozen maids in blue clothes held a mahogany tray with exquisite brocade boxes on it.

All the boxes were opened, and the openings faced the woman sitting on the couch, wearing only a white nightgown.

"You are so lucky, young lady! These are all treasures sent by His Highness. His Highness also said that you can keep whichever one you like."

The woman's brows were cold and she slowly raised her head.

"Where is Jiang Yanche? I want to see him."

As soon as the words fell, the room fell silent and everyone lowered their heads.

It's the same as before.

The teeth of Shen Ningzhu were itching, and words were squeezed out from between his teeth.

"You guys told me that Jiang Yanche would keep the one he liked, and he didn't lie to me?"

"Of course, how dare this servant lie to you, young lady? If you like it, there's no problem in keeping it." A round-faced little maid said flatteringly.

Shen Ningzhu sighed and pinched her chin in distress.

"But what if I don't like any of these styles or designs?"

"It's okay. There are plenty of things like this in Prince Chen's Mansion. Please wait a moment. We will go to the warehouse to pick some and bring them over. You can then take your time to choose until you are satisfied."

Shen Ningzhu nodded.

The group retreated, and half an hour later, another group came and brought the food into Chen Ningzhu's room.

This time there were more than a dozen maids.

Chen Ningzhu carefully picked up the gold hairpins, jade ornaments, pearl hair ties, as well as the round South China Sea pearls and the Western Region night-shining pearls as big as a baby's fist.

Finally, he shook his head.

The maids left and were replaced again. After three batches of replacements, Chen Ningzhu still didn't pick any one.

Helplessly, the housekeeper of Prince Chen's Mansion came over in person and asked Shen Ningzhu what she liked specifically.

Shen Ningzhu patted his head and said that he hadn't thought about it yet.

When the butler heard this, he almost gasped.

It was a hot day and he had been busy all afternoon. If he continued like this, he was afraid that he would not be able to choose well by tomorrow. So he simply suggested taking Chen Ningzhu to the warehouse to choose in person.

Anyway, her master said that as long as Shen Ningzhu is happy, she can have whatever she wants.

In that case, he has nothing to worry about.

Shen Ningzhu's beautiful fox eyes blinked.

"May I?"

The butler smiled and said, "It's just a trip to the warehouse. You are the prince's distinguished guest, so why not?"

"In that case, thank you very much."

The butler personally led the way and they soon arrived at the door of the storeroom. The guard opened the golden lock and the two of them walked in together.

Just one glance and Shen Ningzhu's heart trembled violently.

What meets the eye are endless rare treasures, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, jade and gems.

It was so bright that it almost blinded Shen Ningzhu's eyes. After walking in for nearly half an hour, he saw another scene.

The huge place was divided into two halves, one half was filled with boxes of gold ingots, and the other half was filled with silver ingots.

The distinction is clear and easy to see at a glance.
