The man she imprisoned was a white-skinned

The imagined pain did not come yet, and Meng Xuanhe turned his head in confusion.

Duke Yan stood behind her and took the small stone from Yan Liujing.

"The eldest princess's arrival has brought honor to the Duke's Mansion." Duke Yan had his hands behind his back, with no expression on his face, as if nothing had happened.

"That's right. The Duke's mansion needs to be renovated." Meng Xuanhe saw it clearly, but pretended not to know.

"You..." The stone thrown by Yan Liujing was caught by Duke Yan and did not hurt Meng Xuanhe. He was feeling angry at the moment and wanted to say something when he heard this.

But he was interrupted by the Duke of Yan with a stern voice: "Liu Jing, sit down."

Yan Liujing has always respected his father and elders, so even though he felt unwilling at this moment, he could only sit back at the table obediently.

She understood that her father was afraid that she would anger Meng Xuanhe and bring trouble to him. But she could not swallow the humiliation of being humiliated by Meng Xuanhe in public.

Seeing Yan Liujing sitting back angrily, Meng Xuanhe turned his gaze to Duke Yan.

"Since today's banquet is held for the beginning of spring, please begin, Your Majesty." Meng Xuan and Rourou smiled, giving people the illusion of being gentle ladies.

Duke Yan was a little surprised when he saw that she was no longer making trouble. He naturally didn't want to continue the dispute, so he had someone grant Meng Xuanhe a higher position.

Ancient banquets were extremely boring to her. They were just about writing poems, appreciating flowers, and exchanging pleasantries.

Meng Xuanhe kept yawning during the banquet, feeling bored. However, the talented scholars and beautiful ladies were very interested in discussing elegant poems and completely forgot about Meng Xuanhe's existence.

"Eunuch Li brings a gift on behalf of the Emperor." Outside the mansion, a sharp voice interrupted the harmonious atmosphere of everyone.

Meng Xuanhe was dozing off with her head resting on her right hand. The sudden sound startled her and caused her hand to slip, causing her head to fall on the table, causing her head to buzz with pain.

Fortunately, everyone's attention was focused on the newcomer and they did not notice her embarrassment.

Although she was asleep, she took the sudden sound in. She jumped up with a reflex arc of 0.1 seconds and smashed the teacup on the table.

"How dare you give me this coarse tea? Are you trying to poison me?"

So, everyone's attention shifted to Meng Xuanhe again.

"It's really hard to swallow that the Duke's Mansion is so big, but it doesn't even have a pot of Biluochun. No wonder everyone is talking about the poverty and desolation of the Duke's Mansion. This is a disgrace to me, Nan Meng." Meng Xuanhe sneered sarcastically.

These words were heard by Eunuch Li who came to deliver a gift, and the corners of his lips curled up.

It seems that the emperor has done a good job in assigning the eldest princess to do things, so his trip was not in vain.

Everyone in the Duke's Mansion changed their expressions when they heard this. Duke Yan has always been honest and upright, strict with himself, and has invested a lot of effort in the construction of Nanmeng State. He never embezzled or accepted bribes, and even used his own money to subsidize the people, so his family was naturally much poorer.

Moreover, it seemed as if their Duke's Mansion had offended the God of Wealth, and every business they did went bankrupt.

Not to mention the powerful nobles, the food, clothing and expenses of the Duke's Mansion are not even comparable to those of the four major families doing business in Bianjing. Although they all praised the Duke of Yan for his righteousness, the powerful and wealthy privately despised this matter.

This was a major concern for the Duke of Yan's Mansion, and now that Meng Xuanhe had spoken it out so bluntly at the banquet, they were simply ashamed.

Duke Yan's face was gloomy. He finally understood why his daughter, who had never used violence, could not help but take action. This witch was really disgusting.

"Princess, calm down." Eunuch Li came in and cast his eyes on Meng Xuanhe. She seemed to be very angry, and her pretty face was flushed.

Although Meng Xuanhe was arrogant and unbridled, Eunuch Li was a favorite of the emperor, so she restrained herself a lot at this time.

"Eunuch Li is here, but does the emperor have any instructions?" Meng Xuanhe still had an unhappy look on his face.

"The Emperor heard that the Duke was holding a banquet, so he sent a special gift." Eunuch Li said with a smile, and then the people around him brought up a jade plate covered with red velvet.

Duke Yan knelt down and bowed, then took the jade plate and ordered someone to take it away.

Eunuch Li was a spy sent by the emperor. After completing his mission, he returned to report.

After seeing Eunuch Li off, Meng Xuanhe felt very uncomfortable at the banquet. He kept trying to find an excuse to leave, but by chance the leaves on the tree moved.

"There's a wild cat on the tree in the Duke's Mansion? If I catch it, it will be mine." Meng Xuanhe immediately left her seat and ran towards the tree, looking for a chance to escape.

Nanny Wen had noticed Meng Xuanhe was uncomfortable, so she let her be. As long as she didn't stay at the banquet, she could go anywhere. She should find someone she knew and apologize for the princess.

Seeing her absurd behavior, everyone was used to it. It was better for her to leave, so that she would not be unable to spit out ivory from the dog's mouth.

Meng Xuanhe's departure was unobstructed, or rather, everyone was eager for her to leave.

Meng Xuanhe, who regained his freedom, ran to the tree. The leaves rustled, as if there was really a wild cat there.

But she didn't want to care about it. The tree was quite far from the table, and this location was considered the backyard of the Duke's Mansion. So she used her hands and feet to climb over the wall.

Mission accomplished, she couldn't stay there for even a second.

Meng Xuanhe was wearing a heavy and cumbersome skirt, which made it difficult for her to move. She climbed up the wall with a grim look on her face, almost exhausted, and sat down on the tiles.

There was another rustling sound coming from the tree behind. Meng Xuanhe frowned. Is this cat so restless?

She still ignored it and prepared to jump over the wall and leave.

"Hello." Someone suddenly patted Meng Xuanhe on the back of his shoulder, and his whole body trembled.

She stood on the roof and looked back. A boy of about eighteen or nineteen was tilting his head to look at her. Under his slanted and handsome sword-like eyebrows were black eyes that contained the sun, moon and stars.

There are numerous mountain shadows and vast waves in between, just like the unrestrained wind, rushing towards the spirited man.

The white horse and the spear flutter like a poem, the bright clothes and the vigorous horse of the youth.

"Who are you?" Meng Xuanhe glared at him. He really scared her.

"Yan Cheng'an, the prince of Duke Yan's Mansion, who are you? How dare you climb the wall of our Duke Yan's Mansion?" Yan Cheng'an did not show up at the banquet. Meng Xuanhe knew this person, but he didn't know his face.

"This princess wants to leave and she can leave. How dare you stop me?" Meng Xuanhe was puzzled. Why did the prince of the Duke's Mansion not participate in the Spring Banquet and hide in the tree?

"It's the eldest princess." Yan Cheng'an suddenly realized. The new emperor had no children, and the only one who could call herself a princess now was Meng Xuanhe, who had a house full of male concubines.

Yan Chengan had angered Duke Yan these days, and was confined to the backyard, and his martial arts were banned. But he was happy about it, he didn't have to attend the Spring Banquet, and he didn't have to be forced by Duke Yan to learn martial arts. It was like a god, isn't it happy?

"You know why you don't let go of me!" Meng Xuanhe stretched out her hand and waved away Yan Chengan's hand on her shoulder.

"I heard that Her Royal Highness the Princess likes handsome boys. What do you think of this prince?" Yan Cheng'an said casually.

"Not very good." Meng Xuanhe looked at him in surprise, not knowing what Yan Chengan was up to.

Yan Cheng'an curled his lips slightly and said cynically, "Princess, why don't you bring this prince back home as well?"

Meng Xuanhe:?

Although she was ordered to provoke the Duke of Yan's Mansion, she did not want to become a mortal enemy. She did not want to do such a sin by taking the Duke's Mansion's young master back to be her lover.
