The envoy from Anguo had already been provoked by Jingyan and Yuejiang, and when he suddenly heard that Yuejiang was pregnant, he was even more surprised and his eyes widened.
The Jing Kingdom is about to have another new generation of offspring so soon.
The envoy from Anguo stood there dumbfounded. The eunuch behind him had already brought him a wine cup and urged him five or six times before he reacted.
He dazedly accepted the drink and drank it with a grim expression.
After finishing his drink, the Anguo envoy returned to his seat without saying a word and remained silent throughout the entire banquet.
Afterwards, Jing Huaixu told the envoy from the Jade Kingdom about the date and arrangements for Jingning's departure, and they also exchanged compliments about their respective countries, customs, and people. The banquet passed by in the midst of their conversation.
After the banquet, the envoys from various countries were all arranged to stay, and this time all the envoys stayed at the post station outside the palace.
The moment the banquet ended, Yue Lang chased after Yue Jiang, calling out, "Sister, sister."
Yue Jiang and Jing Yan walked side by side on the corridor leading away from Delin Palace. Upon hearing Yue Lang's voice, Yue Jiang stopped and turned around.
Since the two are nominally siblings, Yue Jiang said with a touch of warmth, "Brother, you just returned to Yue Kingdom not long ago, and you're here again. You must have had a long journey."
Before Yue Lang caught up with Yue Jiang, he was looking forward to talking to her. But when Yue Jiang mentioned his last departure, Yue Lang immediately thought of his own disheveled state and realized that it was probably the couple's doing.
He felt both annoyed and resentful towards Yue Jiang, yet he couldn't bring himself to say anything too harsh.
Yue Lang lowered his eyes, gritted his teeth and said defiantly, "Thanks to my sister and Your Highness, I have never longed to return to the Moon Kingdom as much as I have."
Yue Jiang knew that the needles Shang Yu had given Yue Lang were unusual, but she never expected to see Yue Lang suffer such a setback. She couldn't hide her glee and casually uttered an "oh".
"Brother, you are so attached to your homeland, you shouldn't have come this time. Aren't you afraid that you'll yearn to return to the Moon Kingdom again!"
Yue Lang glanced at Jing Yan, then returned his gaze to Yue Jiang, unable to resist staring at her abdomen.
"I was just missing my sister. I heard she was pregnant as soon as I arrived. It's really been worth every trip I've made."
"Your Highness, do you mind if I chat with my sister a little longer and give us siblings some space?"
“Of course I mind,” Jing Yan said, taking a step forward to deliberately block Yue Lang’s uneasy gaze. He didn’t like the way Yue Lang looked at Yue Jiang.
His eyes were filled with blasphemy against Yue Jiang; they were filthy!
"Jiang'er is now my Crown Princess, and she is carrying my child. We must be careful in everything we do. If the young prince wishes to reunite with Jiang'er and her brother, he may send a letter to the Eastern Palace first."
"When Jiang'er has time to meet the young prince, you two can chat together as brother and sister."
Yue Lang was furious: "Send out invitations? I see my own sister has to send out invitations. I don't even spend much time in Jing Kingdom. If I send out an invitation today, when will it be my turn? Can't it be today, right now?"
Jing Yan: "No."
"Why?" Yue Lang asked.
“I don’t have time,” Jing Yan ignored Yue Lang and pulled Yue Jiang away.
Jing Yan refused too quickly, and Yue Lang didn't have time to react before the two of them turned and left. He watched them walk away.
He felt a surge of anger rising within him. So what if Jing Yan didn't have time? It wasn't like he was seeing Jing Yan.
Having already traveled quite a distance from Yue Lang, and with no sign of him catching up, Yue Jiang secretly glanced at Jing Yan's expression, wondering why his hostility towards Yue Lang was growing stronger.
Jingyan didn't seem to treat Yuelang as his older brother at all, but rather as a shameless and dissolute playboy.
Could it be that Yue Lang's纨绔 (wan ku, meaning spoiled and dissolute) temperament has already pushed Jing Yan to his breaking point?
"Your Highness, my brother is indeed not a capable person. He offended you just now. Please don't take it to heart."
“I never argue with patients. Besides, Jiang’er’s brother is even more pitiful in his illness, so there’s even less reason to argue with him,” Jing Yanfeng said calmly, his tone a far cry from the fierce and unyielding manner he had shown in front of Yue Lang just moments before.
Yue Jiang had a sudden intuition that Jing Yan was lying. She asked in confusion, "Then why didn't Your Highness allow me to speak with my brother just now?"
Jing Yan paused, looked back at Yue Jiang and said seriously, "Patients often talk nonsense. Listening to too much of it will only harm you and the child."
Yue Jiang: "..."
When did Jing Yan even start studying medicine?
She shook her head, suddenly remembering that she still had the Nine Phoenix Hairpin that An Chenghuan had given her in her hair.
Yue Jiang pulled the hairpin off and handed it to Jing Yan: "Your Highness, I quite like the Nine Phoenix Crown with pearls that the Empress Dowager gave me. I don't want to wear this hairpin."
Jing Yan held the hairpin, his bright eyes clearly showing composure, yet a smile inadvertently slipped out as he sincerely asked, "It's quite a valuable item. Don't you like it?"
“I just don’t like it, Your Highness. You’re so long-winded, even more so than the Anguo envoy today,” Yue Jiang said, covering her ears and ignoring Jing Yan’s words.
Maybe they're testing her again, but she won't fall for it.
To prevent Jingyan from continuing his nagging, Yuejiang pretended to be aloof.
“Your Highness, I am from the Yue Kingdom. Do you think your private treasury is as rich as mine? I have long hair and am not short of knowledge. I have seen countless good things. This hairpin from Anguo is not even comparable to an ordinary hairpin from my aunt, the Queen of the Yue Kingdom.”
It may be an exaggeration, but An Guo's hairpin is no ordinary item. However, its purpose is still to please Jing Yan.
Jing Yan was simply asking a question this time. Since he accepted it on the spot in the hall, he wouldn't care about An Chenghuan's ulterior motives at all.
I thought it was just an ordinary thing to please Yue Jiang, but I didn't expect Yue Jiang to take it off on her own initiative. She is always so considerate.
Jingyan threw the hairpin into Qingke's arms and tried to hold Yuejiang's hand, but Yuejiang dodged him and backed away.
