Han Yan was stunned at first, but quickly came to her senses, lowered her head and clenched her fists. Although she was not sure what Wei Ru Feng's purpose was, under the current circumstances, this medicine was absolutely unacceptable both publicly and privately.

Then she raised her head and smiled at the maid: "Thank you for your concern, Miss, but this daughter is fine now. The medicine is precious and I dare not accept it. Please take it back."

The maid seemed to have not expected Han Yan to say that. She opened her eyes wide and opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but Han Yan had already picked up the tea and sipped it, completely ignoring her. The maid was stunned and had no choice but to go back in dismay.

After the maid left, Han Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, she met Deng Chan's sly smile and said, "Honestly replacing with something!"

Han Yan asked: "Replace what?"

Deng Chan blinked: "Why would Prince Wei's son send you medicine? When did you two meet?"

Han Yan was also suspicious. In this life, today should be the first time she met Wei Ru Feng. What did he mean by suddenly sending medicine? Shaking her head at Deng Chan, Han Yan said honestly, "I don't know. Today is the first time I met him."

Deng Chan saw that she was not pretending, thought for a moment, and then smiled again: "Could it be that he is interested in you? Wei Ru Feng is a talented man in the capital. After seeing your talent just now, he might be attracted to you. That's why he sent medicine to show his concern."

Han Yan said seriously, "How can you say such nonsense? He and I are just strangers." But she was worried. In her previous life, Zhuang Yu Shan did say that Wei Ru Feng was a person who valued talents. He was very talented, so he admired other talents. That's why she deliberately read books and wrote in the mansion, hoping that one day she would be able to catch Wei Ru Feng's eye. But now, Wei Ru Feng suddenly sent a bottle of medicine to her. Could it be that it was because of her calligraphy and painting that made him value her talents?

Deng Chan held her chin and looked at her strangely: "Speaking of which, Wei Ru Feng and you are of similar family background, and both his character, talent, and appearance are of the upper class. Are you really not tempted? In two years, you will be a chess player, and you must prepare for marriage early."

Deng Chan was always bold in her words, so Han Yan didn't mind. She just sighed and said, "How can you be attracted to someone you don't even know? It's too hasty to just look at one person. Marriage is something you can only encounter if you don't seek it."

Deng Chan was slightly stunned, she felt that Han Yan's expression when she said this was too strange, and her words seemed to have been through a lot, plus what happened tonight, this childhood friend actually made her a little bit unable to see through.

Han Yan turned her head and met Li Jia Qi's fiery gaze, which was even more ferocious than before, almost without any disguise, staring at her. Han Yan was suspicious, something flashed before her eyes, and she felt that she had grasped some details of something, but the details flashed by, and she couldn't find a clue.

Zhuang Yu Shan laughed sarcastically and said, "Fourth Sister is really very charming. Someone sent medicine to you so quickly. It seems that he was really worried about you. That young master doesn't look simple."

This statement meant that Han Yan was too popular today and could seduce people, so she caught the attention of those noble young men so quickly. The young ladies looked at Han Yan unkindly. After all, who would want to be robbed of their limelight?

Han Yan noticed that after Zhuang Yu Shan said this, Li Jia.Qi looked at her with more hatred and resentment. She paused in her heart, thinking, is there any relationship between Li Jia Qi and Wei Ru Feng?

She smiled and said, "Sister Yu Shan, you are too kind. All the ladies at the banquet today are fine, except Han Yan, who has a hand injury. If Han Yan had scalded Sister Yu Shan's hands, I'm sure someone would have sent medicine as well."

The words circled back to Zhuang Yu Shan, calmly reminding her that it was Zhuang Yu Shan herself who caused all this. How could it be such a coincidence that she burned Han Yan's hand? Anyone with eyes could understand what was going on. It was just a dispute between the legitimate heir and the concubine daughter.

What was unexpected was that Han Yan actually had such a talent. Writing with her left hand actually made her famous.

Zhuang Yu Shan was extremely angry. The hint of mockery in Han Yan's words made her face turn red. However, she did not dare to do anything else after receiving Zhou Shi's look. She just hated Han Yan even more in her heart.

After this incident, Han Yan felt much more at ease. She talked and drank tea with Deng Chan. The purpose of today's palace banquet had been achieved. Although there were some deviations, she had got what she wanted, and she felt a little happier.

After the palace banquet, Ji Lan and Shu Hong followed Han Yan, and the carriages were waiting outside the palace wall. Zhuang Shi Yang and Zhuang Han Ming left first in one carriage, while Zhou Shi and Zhuang Yu Shan took another.

After Han Yan and Deng Chan said goodbye, there were almost no people at the foot of the palace wall. Just as Han Yan was about to get on the carriage, she suddenly heard a voice behind her: "Miss Zhuang."

The voice was warm and moving. Han Yan's body trembled. The hand that was about to lift the curtain paused, and finally she put it down and slowly turned around.

Wei Ru Feng was dressed in a light purple brocade robe with wide sleeves, looking elegant and neat, with green boots and a jade belt. He had handsome features and was looking at her with a smile.

Han Yan paused for a moment, secretly clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms, and then she slowly smiled: "Greetings, Prince Wei."

Seeing her like this, Wei Ru Feng smiled and asked, "Miss Zhuang, are you afraid of me?"

Han Yan was stunned: "No."

"Then why don't you look me in the eye?" Wei Ru Feng asked. From the very beginning, Han Yan had been looking at other places around him. Even though she was smiling, he felt that the smile was stiff and perfunctory.

Hearing this, Han Yan tilted her eyes and looked at him indifferently, "If you want to talk about this, you can change the time. It's late now, and it's really not suitable for me to chat with you here."

Wei Ru Feng was a little stunned.

He was a handsome man in the capital, and women always admirer him. Today, when he saw this talented girl, he paid attention to her. Later, he found out that she was injured, so he sent medicine to her. He didn't expect to be rejected.

This was the first time he was treated like this. He wanted to ask her a few questions, but there was no trace of him in the girl's eyes. It seemed that she didn't even bother to talk to him, and she didn't even bother to look at him.

Just now, she smiled sweetly and was lovely in the banquet hall. Why did she become a different person now? It was hard to imagine that the cute girl in front of him had such a cold look.

"You... hate me?" Wei Ru Feng asked after hesitating for a moment. He felt regretful as soon as he asked this question. Why would he ask such a question? If it was heard by someone with ulterior motives, or if it was used by the girl in front of him, it would be much more troublesome.

But Han Yan just replied respectfully: "This is the first time I met Prince Wei, how could I dislike him for no reason?"

Wei Ru Feng's eyes darkened. Didn't she hate it? Didn't she like it? His tone became a little colder and harder: "Why don't you accept my medicine?"

Han Yan nodded slightly: "No reward without merit."

"You!" Wei Ru Feng was a little angry, and his handsome face suddenly became a little ugly. This girl was like a smooth stone stuck in his throat. Every word she said was correct, and there was no sharp edge to it, but it just made people choke and unable to breathe.

Seeing Wei Ru Feng preparing to attack, Han Yan suddenly heard a cold voice behind him: "Prince Wei, why haven't you left yet?"
