Seeing that he was about to take action, Lin Ruoyou's expression suddenly changed. She could not let Pei Ru fall into a dilemma.

Without hesitation, she kicked Xiao Rui into the ground.

Before he could get up, he hugged Pei Ru directly and hit her back hard with his eyes closed.

"Pfft!" Pei Ru, who looked painful, suddenly opened his mouth wide, and a lot of dirt spurted out from his throat.

It happened that Xiao Rui had just turned around, and his face was immediately covered with filth.

"Ugh!" He didn't have time to settle the score with Lin Ruoyou, so he rolled away quickly.

Pei Ru still didn't understand the situation, so she rinsed her mouth with water and asked blankly: "You'er, I just saw someone running away. What happened to him?"

Lin Ruoyou reached out and stroked her back: "Humph, I want to take advantage of you, but you have to be more careful when eating in the future. A stuck in your throat is no joke. If you are not careful, you will lose it. Little life!"

Pei Ru explained in a low voice in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I just ate in a hurry. Why don't we go to the backyard and watch An Wang catch carp?"

Lin Ruoyou didn't refuse anymore and took the glutton away first, otherwise she would still be unable to control her mouth.

When the two came to the backyard, they saw many noble ladies surrounding King An. It was really lively.

Lin Ruoyou stretched out her hand to hold Pei Ru: "Let's stand far away to avoid any trouble that may affect Chiyu later!"

Pei Ru also obeyed and followed her to sit on a stone bench not far away.

At this time, a cry of surprise came from the crowd, and Wang An suddenly pulled up the fishing rod, and there was a big red carp on it swinging its tail randomly.

The ladies were full of envy, and everyone wanted King An to give this carp to them. After all, it represented blessing and auspiciousness.

However, King An turned his head and ordered the guards beside him: "Put this carp in a bucket and deliver it to Miss Lin quickly. She will definitely like it!"

"Yes!" The guard quickly took it.

The noble ladies all looked very ugly. How could Lin Ruoyou get the blessing from Prince An?What kind of charming tricks did she use to seduce the Prince Regent, uncle and nephew, and both of them looked at her differently.

At this time, a noble lady spoke first: "Your Majesty, I think you should not give this lucky carp to Lin Ruoyou. Let's not mention that she is already engaged to the regent. Just say that the noble concubines and queens are here to attend the banquet. You Why don’t you put your mother and concubine first?”

King An frowned and subconsciously looked towards the pavilion, where he saw his mother and concubine chatting with the eldest princess and the others.

He said solemnly: "There are also red carps in my mother's palace!"

The noble girl argued: "What she has is hers, but you should show your filial piety, right?"

Other noble ladies echoed: "That's right!"

Anyway, everyone has a mentality at this moment, that is, if they can't get it, others can't even think of it. As for Lin Ruoyou, she doesn't deserve it!

Even though she is now the Princess of Changning due to her meritorious service, it still cannot change that she was an unknown little idiot in the capital before.

Even though someone had publicized her defeat of Chen Baozhu, some people still deceived themselves and refused to believe it.

This Zhu Yanhong from the Ministry of War Shang Shufu is one of them!

Her father is the most valued official on the pilgrimage, and her future marriage is destined to be extraordinary.

Her husband must be the future prince.

Prince Xiao Rui was deposed for making a mistake, so Prince An became the target of his father's support.

And she fell in love with this elegant and gentle man, so she was bound to leave a deep impression on him at tonight's banquet.

At this moment, she raised her chin proudly. She thought that what she said was reasonable, and King An would definitely follow her suggestion.

Unexpectedly, he put away the fishing rod and said calmly: "I won't give this fish to anyone, so I'll roast it and eat it!"

Zhu Yanhong's complexion suddenly changed, and her originally delicate makeup was instantly distorted.

She never expected that King An would not give her face like this.

She stepped forward anxiously to advise: "Your Highness, the red carp is like nothing else. It symbolizes auspiciousness, and ordinary people regard it as a miracle. How can you roast it? Maybe you can give it to me, sir." I will definitely take good care of it!"

King An suddenly stopped and looked at her doubtfully: "Who are you? Why did I give you the red carp?"

Zhu Yanhong explained nonchalantly: "My daughter, the concubine of the Minister of War, has seen His Highness from a distance at a palace banquet before, and I am impressed by His Highness's grace!"

King An frowned and said quietly: "If you like this red carp, just go to the eldest princess and ask for it. Why bother with me?"

After saying that, he left quickly and ignored her again.

Zhu Yanhong was ashamed and angry. She didn't expect that even though she had already revealed her identity, King An didn't look at her differently yet. Didn't he know that if he was appointed as the crown prince in the future, he would inevitably rely on the Minister of War?

Just when she was so angry that she almost tore up the brocade handkerchief in her hand, she saw King An walking up to Lin Ruoyou and letting her watch the red carp.

Look at his warm smile, which is completely different from the cold and distant look just now.

The little maid next to her muttered dissatisfiedly: "Miss, Your Highness Prince An is really too much. You obviously think about him, but he doesn't appreciate it at all. He still gives the red carp to the stupid girl of the Lin family. What on earth is he doing?" What do you think?"
