Jun Yao looked at Jun Yue, his eyes serious and firm, and said: "Jun Yue, I hope you don't have any other ideas, stay here obediently and don't cause any trouble. Understand?" His voice was low and powerful, with unquestionable majesty.

Jun Yue was frightened by his gaze and nodded involuntarily, indicating that she would be obedient. She knew what her brother's words meant, and if she didn't obey, it might bring herself more trouble.

At this time, the prince said: "Since everyone is so interested, why don't we show off our talents?" His proposal was responded to by everyone, and everyone expressed their willingness to show their talents.

However, the third prince Hua Jin suddenly interrupted and said, "Okay! Then I'll go first!" His tone was full of confidence and provocation. Upon hearing this, the prince's eyes flashed with displeasure, but he still smiled and said, "Third brother, please go first." He decided not to argue with the third prince Hua Jin, after all, this was just an entertainment activity.

Hua Jin smiled slightly, walked to the center of the field and began to demonstrate his martial arts. He was agile and nimble, and every move was very skillful. The people present could not help but marvel and praised his superb martial arts.

The prince's face changed slightly, and he was obviously a little surprised by Hua Jin's performance. But he still kept smiling and clapped his hands to show his appreciation. Jun Yao stood quietly aside, observing the situation on the field, thinking about something in his heart.

After the performance, there was warm applause. Hua Jin looked at the prince with pride and then returned to his seat.

Next, other people also showed off their talents. Some recited poems and painted, some played the piano and danced. The scene was very lively.

Jun Yue watched everyone's wonderful performances and was eager to try. She secretly glanced at Jun Yao, and seeing that he had no intention of objecting, she mustered up the courage to stand up.

"I also want to perform a dance for everyone." Jun Yue said softly.

As the music sounded, Junyue danced gracefully like a beautiful butterfly. Her dancing was so beautiful that it attracted everyone's attention.

The prince smiled at Jun Yue, with admiration in his eyes. Jun Yao's mouth also slightly raised, he was proud of his sister's outstanding performance.

However, when Junyue was dancing vigorously, she suddenly slipped and fell to the ground. The whole audience fell silent and the atmosphere became awkward.

Everyone was shocked, Jun Yue looked ashamed, and hurriedly stood up to leave. The prince hurried forward to support her, and asked with concern: "Is Yue'er injured?" Jun Yue shook her head and looked at the prince gratefully.

At this time, the third prince Hua Jin suddenly laughed and said, "Haha, it's just a small mistake, why bother so much. I'd like to play another song to cheer up Sister Yue'er." After that, he gently stroked the strings of the zither and played a light tune. The melodious music gradually relaxed everyone's mood.

Jun Yue listened to the music and a smile reappeared on her face. She looked at Hua Jin with gratitude and felt more favorable towards him. The banquet ended like this.

However, under this seemingly harmonious atmosphere, countless schemes and struggles are hidden. The princes and nobles are secretly competing for the supreme power.

And Grand Hyatt was also involuntarily drawn into this political whirlpool...

After the banquet, Jun Yue returned to her bedroom alone, still brooding over her mistake. She knew that in the palace, any mistake could be used as a weapon for others to attack her.

"Send it to the princess." The prince said as he handed an exquisite porcelain bottle to the eunuch beside him.

"Yes." The eunuch replied after taking the bottle with both hands.

Jun Yue lived in Yaoyue Palace, where her mother Hua Xiulan lived before she got married. Yaoyue Palace is very large, divided into two palaces in the front and back and two side halls on the left and right. Among them, Jun Yue lived in the front hall of the main hall, while Jun Yao lived in the back hall. In addition, the side halls on the left and right sides also have their own uses.

"Knock knock. Princess, are you ready to rest?" A palace maid knocked on the door gently and asked softly.

"What's the matter?" Jun Yue opened the door and asked the palace maid outside.

"My princess, the medicine sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived. Let me help you apply it." The maid replied and handed the medicine bottle to Jun Yue.

"No need, give it to me, I can apply it myself." Jun Yue stretched out her hand and took the medicine bottle.

Then, she closed the door, sat alone on the bed, and gently lifted her trouser legs to reveal her fair skin. She carefully opened the bottle cap, and a faint herbal fragrance came to her nose. She dipped some ointment with her fingers and gently applied it on the wound.

Jun Yue was applying the ointment while thinking about what happened at the banquet today. She knew that the prince sent the medicine not only out of concern, but also as a gesture of goodwill. In this palace, everyone's actions have deep meanings.

Jun Yue realized that accepting the prince's kindness might arouse the vigilance and jealousy of other princes. She decided to wait and see for the time being and not to easily express her position.

After applying the medicine, Jun Yue put the bottle on the table and thought about her next plan. In this court full of intrigues, she must be careful in her words and actions to avoid falling into other people's traps.

The next day, Jun Yue went to the Imperial Garden as usual. She deliberately kept a low profile and observed everyone's reactions. However, she found that some palace maids and eunuchs looked at her with a little more awe, as if there was some special connection between her and the prince.

Jun Yue sighed inwardly. This kind of groundless speculation and gossip was the most difficult to deal with. She decided to find an opportunity to express her attitude to the prince brother to avoid further misunderstanding.

Just as Jun Yue was thinking about how to express her attitude to the prince, she suddenly heard a quarrel not far away. She walked closer and saw that it turned out to be two palace maids arguing over a trivial matter.

Jun Yue didn't want to intervene, but when she saw the pastries in the hands of one of the palace maids, she couldn't help but think of an idea.

She walked forward and said with a smile, "Sisters, stop arguing. This cake looks delicious. Why don't you give it to me?"

Seeing this, the two palace maids stopped arguing and handed the pastries to Jun Yue.

Jun Yue took the cake, thanked the two, and turned to leave the Imperial Garden. She planned to give the cake to the prince and take this opportunity to express her gratitude and attitude towards him.

Junyue came to the prince's bedroom, handed him the cakes and expressed his gratitude. The prince took the cakes with a smile and invited Junyue to taste them together.

During the conversation, Jun Yue tactfully expressed her gratitude to the Crown Prince, but also emphasized that she only regarded him as a brother and hoped that the Crown Prince would not have too many expectations.

The prince understood Junyue's intention and said that he would not force Junyue but would respect her choice. The two ended the meeting happily, and the prince appreciated Junyue's intelligence and decisiveness even more.

After leaving the prince's bedroom, Jun Yue breathed a sigh of relief. She successfully conveyed her thoughts and avoided too many disputes with the prince. However, she knew that there were dangers everywhere in the palace, and she had to stay vigilant at all times.
