Not long after Jiang Yanwan sat down, she saw Concubine Yun walking in with several palace maids.

Concubine Yun was wearing a gorgeous dress, walking lightly, with a hint of arrogance between her brows.

Her appearance caused quite a stir, and many people stood up and saluted.

"Princess Hefeng is here too." Concubine Yun said with a smile, but there was a hint of hostility in her eyes.

Jiang Yanwan stood up and returned the greeting, "Greetings, Madam Yunfei."

Concubine Yun walked slowly in front of Jiang Yanwan and raised her hand slightly, "No need to be polite, it's just a school banquet."

Jiang Yanwan smiled slightly and watched Yun Fei's actions calmly.

"Pour me some tea." Concubine Yun sat down and casually pointed at the teacup beside her without naming anything specifically.

Jiang Yanwan knew that this was a deliberate attempt to make things difficult for her, but she still smiled, picked up the teapot, and slowly walked towards Concubine Yun.

She bent down gently and poured a cup of fragrant hot tea.

However, Concubine Yun suddenly tilted her body, and the tea in Jiang Yanwan's hand suddenly fell over, and the scalding tea splashed onto the table.

"Princess Hefeng is so careless that she can't even pour the tea?" Concubine Yun looked at her coldly, her tone full of blame.

Jiang Yanwan bowed her head and apologized, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. It was my fault."

Concubine Yun snorted coldly, "How can this matter be easily resolved? Princess Hefeng has made a mistake, so she should be punished. Someone, let her hold this cup of scalding hot tea and kneel in the sun for an hour!"

Everyone was stunned. Such punishment was really harsh, especially in such weather.

Just as Jiang Yanwan was about to accept the punishment, a cold voice suddenly sounded outside the door -

"Empress Yun, Princess Hefeng is now a princess personally appointed by the Emperor and has a noble status. Should we reconsider this matter?"

Everyone looked outside the door and saw Wu Junyao in a flying fish suit.

His face was as gloomy as water, and he strode in, emitting a terrifying aura.

Concubine Yun frowned, obviously not satisfied with the answer, but she couldn't directly refute Wu Junyao, so she could only smile coldly, "Since Governor Wu spoke for her, let it go this time. But I hope Princess Hefeng will be more cautious in the future."

Jiang Yanwan bowed slightly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your magnanimity."

The party went on, but the atmosphere was obviously different.

Jiang Yanwan felt the burning pain in the palm of her hand, but just smiled indifferently, as if what had just happened had not happened.

After the banquet, Ah Yan ran to Jiang Yanwan and nervously grabbed her hand, "Mother, your hand is burned. I'll get some medicine for you."

Jiang Yanwan looked at his concerned eyes and felt soft in her heart, "Don't worry, it's just a minor injury."

Ah Yan shook his head and insisted, "No, I can't see you get hurt. Wait for me, I'll be back soon."

After a while, he brought a bowl of ointment and carefully applied it on Jiang Yanwan's hands.

Jiang Yanwan felt the coolness of the ointment and touched Ayan's head with a smile, "Thank you, Ayan. You are such a sensible child."

Ah Yan's eyes were slightly red, "It's all my fault. If I hadn't invited you to this polo banquet, you wouldn't have been embarrassed by Concubine Yun."

Jiang Yanwan shook her head. "It's not your fault. This is how things are. Some obstacles and difficulties are unavoidable."

Ah Yan nodded and held Jiang Yanwan's hand tightly. "I will become stronger and better protect you, mother."

Jiang Yanwan looked at him tenderly and felt that the future was full of hope.

At this moment, Wu Junyao came over, with a calm expression on his face, "Is your hand okay?"

Jiang Yanwan shook her head gently, "It's okay, thank you for your concern, Governor."

Wu Junyao pursed his lips and threw a green porcelain bottle into her arms, "Empress Yun is jealous and has been looking for opportunities to embarrass you. You must be more careful in the future."

Jiang Yanwan nodded, "I'll pay attention."

Ah Yan looked at Wu Junyao, then at Jiang Yanwan, and suddenly said, "Master Wu, thank you for helping my mother out today."

Wu Junyao did not answer, but just glanced at him indifferently and turned away.

Seeing him like this, Jiang Yanwan did not try to keep him, but instead looked at the small porcelain bottle in her arms, which was the most rare and magical scar removal medicine in Baiyaotang.

It is said that this small bottle costs thousands of gold coins and is in short supply.

Wu Junyao did these good things for her silently, just like he did in his previous life.

A hint of warmth ignited in Jiang Yanwan's eyes.

In the evening, the banquet in the school gradually dispersed and the crowd became smaller and smaller.

Jiang Yanwan, A Yan and Wu Junyao walked side by side on the way back, with a tacit and warm understanding between them.

Just as they were about to reach Jiang Mansion, they suddenly heard someone shouting from behind, "Princess Hefeng!"

Jiang Yanwan looked back and saw that it was the emperor's personal eunuch Xiao Lizi.

He ran over breathlessly and said anxiously, "Princess Hefeng, His Majesty has an urgent matter to summon you. Please come to the palace immediately."

Jiang Yanwan's expression changed slightly, but she still responded calmly, "I understand. Please wait a moment, I'll be there right away."

Wu Junyao frowned slightly and asked, "What happened?"

Little Li shook his head, "I don't know the specific situation, Princess, it's better for you to go to the palace as soon as possible."

Jiang Yanwan nodded to Ah Yan and Wu Junyao, "You go back home first, I'll be back soon."

Wu Junyao frowned, "If you need help, remember to let me know."

Jiang Yanwan smiled, "Don't worry, I will."

She turned around and followed Little Leo to the palace quickly, with a bad feeling in her heart.

After arriving at the palace, she was taken directly to the imperial study. When she pushed the door open, she saw the emperor pacing anxiously. When he saw her come in, he immediately said, "Yan Wan, you are finally here."

Jiang Yanwan bowed and greeted, "Your Majesty, I am here to see you. What urgent matter do you have?"

The emperor waved his hand to signal her to excuse herself, then lowered his voice and said, "After the Western Region concubine was executed, a group of Western Region envoys were eager to take action and began to fish in troubled waters in the capital. You need to assist me in the investigation."

Jiang Yanwan's heart sank, knowing that the matter was not simple.

She answered firmly, "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will do my best."

The emperor sighed and said, "It is difficult to describe all these things. You'd better find the clues as soon as possible. I need loyal people like you."

Jiang Yanwan knew that the task was arduous and was about to ask for more details when suddenly a cold voice came from outside the door, "Your Majesty relies so much on Princess Hefeng, which makes me envious."

Startled, Jiang Yanwan turned her head and saw that it was Concubine Yun. She was wearing a bun, pearls and jade, and walked in with a cold look in her eyes.

"Your Majesty, I am not worrying for no reason. Princess Hefeng has just entered the palace, and you have entrusted her with such an important matter. I am worried that this may cause dissatisfaction among the court officials!"

Concubine Yun glanced at Jiang Yanwan with ill intent, her tone containing a hint of disdain.
