Zhao Wenxuan returned to the mansion with an even gloomier expression. He sat on a stool, drank up the tea in his hand, and put down the cup.

"These people only know how to cause trouble for me. It seems like they really don't want to live anymore!"

He has always been extremely concerned about the border war, and would always step forward to join in the fun as long as it was related.

There was a hint of doubt on Jin Yanna's face, her brows slightly furrowed. She sat next to him, her tone gentle.

"Are they giving you trouble again?"

She had an extraordinary look, indeed quite outstanding, and she spoke in a tender and gentle voice, which formed a great contrast with Zhao Wenxuan's rough appearance.

Hearing this, Zhao Wenxuan groaned, his expression ugly, and a faint light flashed in his dark eyes.

"Who else could it be other than them? On the surface, they appear to be kind to the people, but who knows what they are thinking in their hearts!"

There was a hint of viciousness in his eyes, and he crushed the teacup with his bare hands.

There was not much emotion on Jin Yanna's face, as if she was already accustomed to this matter, and she asked calmly.

"So what are your plans next?"

She took out a handkerchief with some heartache, pried his hands apart, applied the powder very skillfully, and tied the handkerchief into a knot.

Zhao Wenxuan blinked slightly, then frowned slightly, with a hint of seriousness in his words.

"When you have time, go and test Su Jinhua and spend more time with them."

He did not explain the reason, but just gave an order.

There was a hint of confusion in Jin Yanna's eyes. She blinked gently and then asked a question.

"But I'm not familiar with them after all. If I contact them suddenly, I'm afraid they won't be willing to talk to me!"

She felt helpless and seemed to be at a loss as to what to do about the matter.

A trace of anger flashed across Zhao Wenxuan's face, but he quickly hid it. He took her little hand, held it close to himself, and spoke with a smile.

"Based on your abilities, it shouldn't be difficult for you. You should at least consider your husband's future. If you can establish a relationship with Gu Yan'an, your father will value me more."

There are undercurrents in the court, but it is only calm on the surface.

When Jin Yanna heard this, she couldn't refuse, so she nodded immediately with a slight smile on her face.

"Okay, don't worry. I'll visit you someday and bring you some gifts."

She has always been a standard virtuous wife, and as the prime minister's eldest daughter, she does things flawlessly.

Zhao Wenxuan has relied on her a lot over the years and got to know many dignitaries in the capital, but he also gained a lot of connections, which can be considered a great gain.

A hint of satisfaction appeared on his face, and he kissed her on the cheek.

"Thank you for your hard work, madam."

……

Su Jinhua looked at the post in her hand, her beautiful eyebrows suddenly frowned into a "川" shape, with a hint of gloom in her brows.

"It seems that this matter is not simple. The Second Imperial Concubine suddenly invited us to her residence. This may not be a good thing."

The situation in the court is already very dangerous, and now they have to choose sides, which will probably be even more challenging for them.

There was a hint of sadness on the eldest princess's face, but more of solemnity, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

"You see things clearly. There are indeed three princes in the court. If it is really a life-and-death struggle, it is best to maintain a neutral position. We will not rely on anyone."

The honor of the palace was earned by them with blood and tears. As for those princes, they can fight for it however they want.

The eldest princess took all this calmly. As long as she didn't provoke them, she could say anything, but she also didn't want to bully them easily.

Su Jinhua had a faint smile on his face, then put the post in his hand beside him and asked softly.

"So what does Mother mean by that, should we go or not?"

It looks like only they were invited. If they go and some rumors spread, that would be bad.

After Gu Yan'an learned the news, he rushed over from the study. He sat in a wheelchair, with a hint of helplessness on his face.

"It seems that the Second Prince wants to drag us into this. We need to be careful in everything we do."

It is really difficult to reject them politely without offending them.

The eldest princess had a look of worry on her face. She rubbed her eyes with a headache, then slowly shook her head.

"So according to you, how should we deal with this matter?"

There was a hint of helplessness between her brows and she let out a breath.

Gu Yan'an's brows did not relax at all, and he spoke directly, as if it was a matter of course.

"She actually invited us to go, so you guys go and have a look. As for me, I'm still staying at home. I'm not feeling well and it's not convenient for me to move around."

He is now a hot commodity and has long been targeted by others, but it is still unknown who will be able to bite off this piece of meat.

Hearing this, Su Jinhua raised his eyebrows slightly, the corners of his mouth slowly rose, and finally nodded.

"Mother, that's actually what I meant at the time. It might not be a good idea to reject them directly, but we can go and see what tricks they are up to."

The Third Prince has always had a complicated mind. The Second Prince may look like a military commander, but he is just as cunning as the others, he’s just better at hiding it.

The eldest princess glanced at them and finally nodded in agreement, intending to keep the appointment.

Time passed quickly. The eldest princess dressed up specially, and Su Jinhua's outfit was also quite decent, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Jin Yanna seemed to have been waiting for a long time. When she saw them coming, her eyes lit up instantly and she walked forward to greet them with a smile on her face.

"You are finally here. I prepared these things early in the morning, but I don't know if you like them."

She specially prepared a table of delicious food, and it was obvious that the food was carefully prepared.

The eldest princess nodded slightly, her face showing a look of satisfaction.

"That's good, it's really thoughtful."

She glanced at it for a moment, but in fact, there was no wavering in her heart.

A faint light flashed across Su Jinhua's dark eyes, the corners of his mouth slowly curled up, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"I also brought a gift, but it wasn't anything very valuable."

She just silently took out the box in her hand, which contained a jade bracelet.
