Actually, Sheng Yan didn't want to talk so arrogantly either, she just felt that it was a bit of a waste for a prince to suddenly appear and ask him where a concubinage was going.

If the Xuanyuan Li were to ask this, it would be fine. However, if it was someone else, Sheng Yan would treat this person as if he was a bad youth.

Of course, he had also underestimated them. After all, this was the territory of the ancient people, and they still had the ability to do as they pleased, especially when it came to princes.

Xuan Yuan Gang was also startled, he did not expect Sheng Yan to say such unbecoming words.

However, Sheng Yan felt that these words were normal, after all, she hated these men who were staring at him. Whether it was those who were kind or those who were malicious, she just didn't like the debauchery in their eyes.

Xuan Yuan Gang carefully sized his up. He was indeed different from the Sheng Yan on the day of the consort selection, and he sincerely felt that she had the feeling of a flower the other day. To actually dress up like that could be considered a weirdo, he did not know what kind of unspeakable secrets he had on her face.

Sheng Yan was almost like a clear broth. Although she had simply drawn her eyeliner and eye shadow, thus giving her a refined and elegant feeling, with just her makeup alone, she simply wasn't enough to attract others' attention.

Instead, it was the gift that he had sent out just now that helped Sheng Yan's beauty.

Sheng Yan also sighed in her heart. She was born beautiful like this, what should she do?

However, Qing Qian did not wish for anything to happen to the person beside her, especially when she knew what kind of character Xuan Yuan Gang was.

"Second Prince, my fifth sister really wants to go and make things convenient for us. Why don't you help Third Prince make things convenient for us by letting us go over?"

"Past? "Sure, let's talk after drinking this cup of wine. Since you guys are going to have some convenience, do you really need this cup of wine?"

Sheng Yan knew that she couldn't avoid it, but she couldn't let Xuan Yuan Gang off so easily either.

"The Second Prince is truly bold and unrestrained, but I'm afraid that it isn't appropriate for a mere little girl to drink a cup of wine in front of so many people. Otherwise, how about the Second Prince accompany a cup of wine?"

Xuan Yuan Gang did not give in and poured himself a cup of wine. He invited Sheng Yan in.

Since he could not escape, he went forward to meet it. Therefore, Sheng Yan smiled lightly, used one hand to cover his face, and the other hand to raise his wine cup, allowing the wine to flow into his body smoothly.

After drinking it, he hung the cup upside down, indicating his sincerity. Not a single drop was left after drinking it.

This time, Xuan Yuan Gang had nothing to say. After all, he had already explained everything to Sheng Yan, so he had to keep his promise. After all, he still had some ministers by his side.

"What is second brother doing? Do you want to compete for wine with Miss Shangguan?"

"No, I am just afraid that this is the first time that Eldest Sis's sister is hosting a banquet at Imperial Palace, and she is not being well-received."

Oh, second brother is truly considerate, but, the was pointed out to me by the Queen, so I advise second brother to be more careful.

Xuan Yuan Gang knew that he was being unreasonable, and the matter of the Xuanyuan Li and Sheng Yan was already set in stone. He only lacked an imperial edict, and if he offended Sheng Yan now, it would be equivalent to offending the Xuanyuan Li.

"Oh, oh, this smart little brother of mine is really moved."

Hearing that, Sheng Yan's face flushed red, without saying more, she immediately pulled Qing Qian and walked outside.

After coming in contact with the air outside, Sheng Yan felt much better, and her whole body felt much more refreshed.

After all, the Xuanyuan Li was pretty brave just now. Who didn't know that Xuan Yuan Gang had a bad temper?

Of course, the two of them were both princes, so they couldn't start a fight in front of the Emperor's Queen and the First Prince's Concubine. After all, there were still so many court officials, if they really fought, wouldn't that mean they had no morals.

Sheng Yan also knew about this, which was why she came out so recklessly.

Xuanyuan Li was trying to save her, but she couldn't make the situation awkward, so she drank that cup of wine.

He walked to the garden at the side, where there were a few big trees hiding.

Beneath the big tree was a patch of grass. Standing by the side, Sheng Yan immediately vomited after bending over.

"Are you alright? Don't tell me you drank too much from one cup of wine?"

"Cough cough, sister-in-law, stop making fun of me. How can I drink alcohol? I can't even drink a single cup."

Qing Qian looked at Sheng Yan's red face and smiled. Since her strength was not enough to drink, it seemed like it would be better for these alcohol parties to not participate.

"Shall we go back?"

"Don't, since you're here, if you don't leave with the others, First Lady will nag again."

"That's true. After all, today is her daughter's wedding. If we miss such a grand occasion, it's not like we won't have enough gossip."

The two of them stayed outside for a while. Sheng Yan felt that her heart was no longer thumping loudly, and then she and Qing Qian walked in. After all, the wine here was very pure.

When he returned to the hall, it had almost become chaotic.

Of the toasts and conversations, only the Xuanyuan Li remained cold and alone as it sat in Sheng Yan's position and drank alone.

"Are you sitting here? Seems like he sat in the wrong seat. "

"Sit down."

Hearing that, Sheng Yan immediately sat down, she did not want to disturb the conversation between the two, sooner or later, they would become family, and it would be good to have a deeper understanding of each other.

One of them just sat there, while the other drank alone. Those who didn't know what was going on would think that the two of them were quarreling lovers, waiting for the time to get back on their feet.

No matter if it was the singers or the drinkers, Sheng Yan just felt very bored.

"What, can't sit still?"

"Nonsense, today's matter has nothing to do with me. What does it matter if I can't sit here?"

"So, if one day you can sit down and say this has something to do with you?"

Seeing the smile on the corner of the Xuanyuan Li's mouth, Sheng Yan took a deep breath. This person would not commit any crime and marry him, and really thought that what the Empress said was the truth.

To put it bluntly, everyone was a pawn in the face of power.

"Don't be so complacent. Don't think that just because you helped me just now, I would thank you."

"He's young, but his temper isn't."

"I learned from you."

"With me?" The Xuanyuan Li looked surprised, and the cup in her hands stopped in midair, as she looked at Sheng Yan in a daze. She couldn't understand what he meant, as though they had never met each other before.

Sheng Yan looked at Xuanyuan Li's funny expression, and smiled a little.

And then, with a lift of his hand, he directly hit the Xuanyuan Li's hand …
