Since the officials from the Bureau of Needle Technology had come to discuss something with Jiang Huanan, He Yuan had no choice but to slip back into his room with the pearl in his hand. He walked around the room a few times, and when he opened his palm to look at the pearl, his heart was in turmoil. As he was thinking back to what happened just now, the curtain was lifted, and Chen Zhu came in with a crafty smile on her face.

"You ran so fast at Brother An's place just now. Now you still have the nerve to come over?" When He Yuan saw Chen Zhu, he recalled her previous lack of spirit of loyalty. He couldn't help but roll his eyes and say, "When I was embroidering idiots, you clearly clapped for me, and even said something like 'advise me not to embroider'?"

"Cough, that Brother An of yours has made me panic!" Chen Zhu saw He Yuan holding onto something, and went over to pull her sleeve, smiling as he asked, "What did you exchange a small handkerchief for?"

"Clear Sight Pearl." He Yuan instinctively hid his hands behind his back, and upon thinking about the matter again, he couldn't help but blush and reach out to Chen Zhu with the pearl in his hand, opening up his palm for her to see, he said uneasily: "Sister Zhu'er, I feel that this pearl is too valuable, I don't even know where to put it. "After thinking about it for a while, I might as well return it to Brother An later."

"Brother An's actions are truly magnanimous. He actually gave away the Pearl of Illumination!" She extended her left hand to support her chin while her right hand touched the Pearl in He Yuan's hand. She blinked her large eyes and said, "You took it all, but you're returning it again, no?" I really feel that I can't leave it be, so I took it back and asked Brother An to keep it for you. I'll let him give it to you when I return home. "

"Sister Zhu Zhu'er, I'm very nervous right now." He Yuan had never been in a relationship before in his previous life. Right now, his face was burning with embarrassment. Holding the pearl, he said in a low voice, "Taking this pearl, does that mean …"

"Does that even need to be said?" Chen Zhu stroked He Yuan's forehead, bit his lips and laughed, "This pearl is extremely valuable, where could ordinary people get it from? Brother An naturally recognized you, so he gave you this. Do you really think that this is a joke? "

"It's settled so easily?" "He hasn't asked me if I'm willing yet." He Yuan was at a loss. Wasn't love exchanged under the moon, love words, four eyes, and a heart full of red hearts? Just now, he had carelessly stuffed this pearl into his mouth, and things had already come to a conclusion like this? No, it was too simple!

"What do you want?" Chen Zhu was also baffled. She looked at He Yuan and said, "This marriage has always been a matchmaker's words. Whether or not you're willing to follow the orders of your parents doesn't matter. I can see that Brother An is worried about you. Isn't that enough? "

"I just don't feel at ease. Think about it, how could a person like him like me? I stood with him, just under his arm. " He Yuan lowered his head and whispered, "Don't you think that's strange?"

"Ugh!" Chen Zhu looked at the sky speechlessly. They had already exchanged tokens, but he still suspected that it was just for fun. She let out a sigh and said, "Sister Yuan, you really can't rest at ease. You might as well find an opportunity to ask him if he likes you and that will be the end of it."

When it was noon, He Yuan heard from the nanny that Jiang Huashan had returned to his room after dinner, so she took the pearl and went to find Jiang Huashan.

Seeing He Yuan poking his head into the room with a curtain, Jiang Hua An said with a smile, "Come on in!"

Jiang Hua An and He Yuan came in and sat down. They poured a small cup of tea and handed it over. Seeing that her right hand was holding onto something, Jiang Hua An's left hand was about to free itself to take the cup, but he put the cup to her lips and said, "This is ginseng tea. Drink it before you speak."

When He Yuan saw Jiang Hua An's tall figure approaching, he couldn't help but lower his head to drink his tea. Luckily, he only drank half of the tea before he drank it in a few gulps.

"Brother An, this pearl is too precious and I'm too young to accept it." He Yuan intentionally acted innocent by relying on his petty tricks. He lowered his eyes halfway and handed the pearl over. "Brother An, you can keep it for yourself!"

Jiang Hua An seemed to be startled. He reached out his hand and gently wrapped He Yuan's hand along with the pearl. "You'll grow up in a few years. What's there to worry about?"

He Yuan's small hands were wrapped by Jiang Huanan's warm hands, and his heart was beating faster and faster. He couldn't bear to pull it back, but his face was completely red. Jiang Huanan might not have a strong relationship with him, but he was still young and had been growing up for a few years, so he would definitely be moved. After calming himself down, he slightly shook his hand back and raised his head. "I'm afraid that I'll lose the bead, so I'll leave it with you. You can give it to me when you return."

Jiang Hua An looked at He Yuan with a smile and said half-heartedly, "Since that's the case, then leave it to me!" After a short pause, he continued, "After returning home, send someone to your residence to propose marriage. After the marriage is officially arranged, I will personally hand it over to you."

"I'm leaving!" When He Yuan heard the mention of marriage, he hurriedly stood up and placed the pearl on Jiang Huanan's palm. He was ready to rush out of the door. However, someone came to report, "Third Prince has come!"

On the other hand, Tang Zhili had come to retrieve the Eight Trigrams Soul-Covering Diagram. He had seen He Yuan in Jiang Huanan's room when he came in. When He Yuan saw him, he smiled and said, "This jigsaw puzzle is very difficult. We've only put half of it into the puzzle, but we can't put the other half into the jigsaw jigsaw puzzle."

"It's hard to find half of it." Tang Zhi Li gave a rare sigh of admiration. Because he had mistakenly accepted a few congratulatory words as the one before, this meeting with He Yuan made him feel a little uncomfortable, so he said a few words to ease up. Then he smiled as he talked about his childhood: "The first time I saw you, you were only four years old. As she spoke, she looked at He Yuan, trying to relate her to the way she looked when she was young.

Upon seeing Tang Zhi Li and He Yuan Nian's smiling banquet, Jiang Hua An calmly said, "Your Highness, it's getting late. Why don't I send you back to the palace?"

"I ran over here from the Imperial Uncle's estate. I want to return to the estate first, so Uncle can escort me back to the palace." Only then did Tang Zhili realize that he had been frightened. He hurriedly stood up and said, "General Jiang, please hold your steps. There are guards of my own. There's no need for you to send them off." As he spoke, he turned around to say goodbye to He Yuan.

After sending Tang Zhi Li out, Jiang Hua An smiled and said to He Yuan, "Where's my scented tea bag?" Could it be that you will return the pearl and not even the scented sachet will be embroidered for me? "

"I'm going back to my room for embroidery!" When He Yuan saw Jiang Hua An's eyes looking at him, his heart was beating erratically. He stood up and said his goodbyes.

"Just do the embroidery during the day. Don't stay up late and watch your eyes burn." Jiang Hua An took a step forward and lifted the curtain to allow He Yuan to leave. He then reminded him, "Take your time with the embroidery."

On the evening of the second day, He Yuan had finished embroidering a fragrant buns. After dinner, he sent them to Jiang Huanan's room.

When Jiang Huanan saw the dense needlework of the perfume bag and the seven-colored thread that had his name embroidered on it, he felt that it was extremely simple and unique. He immediately squeezed it in his hand and looked at He Yuan. "I like it!"

You like it? Do you mean like this scented bag, or like me to embroider the scented bag for you, or like me? When He Yuan heard the two words "I like it" come out of Jiang Huanan's mouth, his heart skipped a beat. It had already begun again. Hm, was this an official confession? I'm going to die, why is my heart beating like a drum? She let her thoughts run wild, but she couldn't help but ask, "Brother An, do you like me in any way?" As soon as he asked the question, his face turned hot. Aiya, why did I ask? I've lost so much face!

Upon hearing He Yuan's words, Jiang Hua An glanced at her and smiled gently. "Naturally!"

"I'm leaving!" He couldn't take it anymore. If he stayed any longer, who knew what words he would blurt out. He Yuan rushed out of Jiang Huanan's room once again.

Jiang Hua was waiting outside the yard. When he saw He Yuan blushing, he couldn't help but put his hands on his waist and look up at the sky, pretending not to see anything. However, he caught a glimpse of the corner of his clothes at the other end of the hall. He was confused and quietly paced a few steps, but then he suddenly turned around and rushed to the end of the hall and shouted: "Who is it? "Come out!"

"Big brother Kuan, it's me!" Startled, Chen Zhu quickly came out from behind the pillar, explaining, "I will wait here for Sister Yuan."

"Sister Yuan went back to her room over there. What are you waiting for?"

"Ah, I thought she would return to her room from here." Originally, Chen Zhu was here to accompany He Yuan to send off the fragrant buns, but she was afraid of Jiang Hua An so she didn't dare to go in. She didn't expect He Yuan to be so flustered, forgetting that she was waiting here and instead returning to her room from the other side. She complained to herself secretly as she patted her chest. "Big brother Kuan suddenly ran out and almost scared me."

"It's getting late, hurry back to your room!" Seeing Chen Zhu's panicked expression, Jiang Hua Kuan said warmly: "I'll send you there!"

Thus, Chen Zhu was' escorted 'back to her room by Jiang Huagang with a sullen face. She did not immediately rush to He Yuan's room to denounce her act of amnesia.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the Embroidery Meeting. The general meeting was held for ten days. The first two days were for each girl to embroider a set of embroidery according to the material and pattern drawn. In the middle of the five days, each of them would pick up materials and embroider their best work. The last three days were spent by the officials of the two countries' needlework bureaus, who jointly designated a pattern for the girls of the two countries to weave according to the pattern. The 20 young ladies of two countries who were embroidering the same design could tell at a glance the difference between good and bad. It was a test of one's ability the most. Having been instructed by Jiang Hua-An, He Yuan did not want to be the champion of the embroidery event. He only randomly embroidered the last embroidery and did not put in much effort. When the result came out, it was a congratulatory gesture with a phoenix spread its wings in seven colors embroidered the chief, He Yuan got second, Shi Yue got third. The Nanchang Kingdom had placed in the top three and returned victorious. That night, the party celebrated with wine and also received an invitation from the palace three days later. This time, only the top three ladies of the embroidery event were invited to congratulate Jiang Huashan, who had expressed his wish, on entering the palace.

Jiang Hua An took over the post and said to Shen Wangdao, "The embroidery event went smoothly and ended earlier than expected. I am leading these girls now. I just want to return home as soon as possible, and I don't want to be delayed here. After we've finished attending the banquet at the Imperial Palace, we should start off at the fastest speed possible. "

Shen Zhi nodded his head and said: "Exactly. "Earlier, I received news from the Imperial Uncle's estate that Empress Zhou was interested in one of the top three ladies in the embroidery event. I'm afraid that if we enter the palace this time, we'll have to change our ways." He then looked at Jiang Huashan and said, "It's better if we go back to our country quickly. It's more important for you to set the engagement as soon as possible." After all, Tang Zhili always has some thoughts about Miss He Yuan. "

Three days later, Jiang Huanan led his men into the palace. When Empress Zhou saw He Yuan and his speech appearing together, she clicked her tongue and praised, "They really look alike." For a time, he ordered people to reward him with all kinds of things. He then asked his family members about his age, so He Yuan could only answer them one by one.

Empress Zhou nodded her head. She was indeed a clever one. She glanced at Tang Zhi Li and made her decision in the dark.

After the banquet at the imperial palace, Jiang Huanan prepared to leave for home. Within two days, everything was ready, and they all arrived at the dock to board the ship.
