The sun gradually rose and spread over the courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The noon banquet was about to begin, and everyone sat down.

Xin Nianyan sat with several sisters from the Chen family, and Qiu Lier was also at the same table.

In addition to the gifts in the gift book, several sisters also gave her their own treasured hair fork accessories, all of which are valuable.

Xin Nianyan thanked him happily and asked the small candle to be put away.

In the previous life, during the Hairpin Ceremony, the Chen sisters also gave her things, but Xin Rouer took them away and told her that these things were not worth much and they were used to perfunctory people.

In her previous life, on the day of herself and Hairi, Xin Rouer had made a lot of fools of herself.

The wild cats that came from nowhere were running around all over the place, and they deliberately took her to the pool while dodging, and then they were knocked into the water by the wild cats...

The noise around her suddenly quieted down, and the light in front of her suddenly dimmed. Xin Nianyan subconsciously raised her head and saw Qin Han standing in front of her.

"Your Majesty."

Everyone on the side stood up and saluted. As soon as Xin Nianyan was about to stand up, Qin Han raised his hand and put it on his shoulder.

"No need to be polite."

The others then looked at each other and sat down.

Qin Han took out a box from his arms and handed it to Xin Nianyan.

"Yanyan, this is a hair-length gift for you, please open it and take a look."

Xin Nianyan felt the probing or surprised gazes of others around him, and his scalp felt numb.

I'm afraid everyone will know about his engagement to herself now.

But she didn't care that much. Whether she knew it or not didn't have much impact on her.

"What did the prince give you?"

Xin Nianyan glanced at him and raised her hand to open the box. She saw a crystal-clear white jade bracelet lying against the fine silk in the box.

The bracelet was nothing unusual, but there was a faint smell coming from it, which caught her attention.

She brought it to the tip of her nose and sniffed it, then looked at Qin Han in surprise.

"Your Majesty, this is..."

When she was a child, she saw an ancient book in her master's library.

Ancient books record that there is a kind of jade that exudes medicinal fragrance, called medicinal jade, which can protect the wearer from all poisons...

"Do you like it? Try it on."

Qin Han looked at her with a smile, his brows and eyes were warm and soft.

Xin Nianyan pursed her lips, raised her hand and put the bracelet on her hand.

A faint medicinal fragrance spreads, and it gives a feeling of concentration and calmness. Xin Nianyan likes it very much.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

She showed a smile, her long hair was tied up on her head, and her smooth and slender neck made her beautiful and charming.

Qin Yan on the other end looked a little stunned. He had never noticed before that Xin Nianyan was so bright and beautiful, no less beautiful than Xin Rouer...

No, she is even more beautiful than Xin Rouer.

He clenched his fists and looked at Xin Nianyan, who was smiling like a flower with Qin Han, and felt very uncomfortable.

Obviously before, she could only see him in her eyes, and all she could think of was him...

Xin Nianyan put away the table, and Qin Han returned to his table. Feeling Qin Yan's gaze, he looked over coldly.

Qin Yan's expression froze and he quickly looked away.

The host on the terrace sounded the gongs and drums, announcing the official start of the banquet.

There was a commotion in the distance. Xin Nianyan glanced sideways and saw Shan Jiu carrying a black cat around outside and throwing the cat out.

She was prepared in this life and had already asked Shan Jiu Shiwu to patrol near the wall. Naturally, it was impossible for Xin Rouer and her daughter to repeat their old tricks.

"What's going on over there?"

Chen Jinyan looked over in confusion.

Xin Nianyan shook her head, gave her a chopstick of food, and looked up at Xin Rou'er.

"Don't worry about it."

Xin Rou'er saw that her plan failed, but she didn't take it too seriously.

When Xin Nianyan met her sinister smile, she quickly stopped and blinked at her innocently.

Compared to the wild cats who had little fights in the previous life, the mother and daughter hated Xin Nianyan much more in this life, and there was no way they could just stop like that.

She has arranged for people to patrol the house. If they find anything wrong, they will be cleared out immediately.

The warmth of the spring sun makes people feel tired and sleepy.

Xin Nianyan, who was always vigilant, did not notice that a layer of amber mucus had slowly melted around the hosta on his head.

On the terrace table where hairpins were placed, the spring flowers in the Prime Minister's Mansion were in full bloom. It was a beautiful thing to enjoy the flowers while eating.

You can still faintly see bees whirling around collecting honey.

However, slowly, everyone began to feel that something was wrong.

The bees gathered more and more, and kept flying towards the direction of the banquet.

“Buzz buzz buzz—”

There was a buzzing sound, and swarms of bees swarmed up, and the people at the banquet were so frightened that they fled in all directions.

There were exclamations everywhere, Qiu Li'er protected several sisters of the Chen family, and retreated with Xin Nianyan.

"Let's go!"

Servants came with brooms to drive away the bees, and many were stung and rolling all over the floor.

However, soon, everyone discovered the clues. The bees seemed to be chasing Xin Nianyan with a purpose.

Xin Nianyan knew something was wrong, so she quickly left the Chen sisters' team and retreated alone.
