Yue Ziyue was not in a good mood, she was too lazy to explain to Yan Muqing what chocolate was. She just replied with an "En" from her nose and went straight over.

Yan Muqing was stunned, but she did not say anything else. She walked straight to the other side of the room and sat down on the soft chair.

After turning her head to look at Yue Ziyue, Sai Yao then looked at Yan Muqing with an inexplicably angry expression.

When Jingfei appeared, Yue Ziyue had already been waiting for a long time. Tian'er wasn't cold either, afraid that the chocolate in the box would melt.

Fortunately, when she opened it in front of Jingfei, the chocolate was still intact.

Jingfei looked at the chocolates in the box and her eyes lit up. Senior Servant Pei stepped forward and used a silver needle to test the contents before moving to the side.

Yue Ziyue looked at the long fingernails in Jingfei's hands, and suddenly had an idea. She helped Jingfei place the small plates in front of her and placed them in front of her.

"Zi Yue, is this the chocolate you were talking about? "How strange."

Quiet And Steadfast was holding a small plate, carefully examining the dark chocolate inside, his interest piqued.

Yue Ziyue faintly smiled and then immediately replied, "Esteemed Concubine Jing, Princess Sai Yao has done this as a contribution. If it weren't for the Southern River Country's coffee beans, I believe Ziyue would already have committed the crime of bullying the monarch."

Concubine Jing patted Yue Ziyue's shoulder, her eyes filled with doting affection. "A clever boy, a good boy."

Finished speaking, she turned her gaze to Yan Muqing who was standing at the side. When Yue Ziyue saw this, she immediately lowered her head, blushing inexplicably.

He then placed several plates of the chocolate in the box, one for Yan Muqing and the other for Princess Sai Yao, the other for Senior Servant Pei.

Jingfei seemed to like it a lot. After eating two pieces, she was stopped by Senior Servant Pei.

After Yue Ziyue retreated to the side, she stepped forward and wrapped her arms around Imperial Concubine Jing's thigh.

The last one to arrive was an unfamiliar face that Yue Ziyue had never seen before. As soon as she entered the door, she threw herself into the embrace of esteemed wangfei. Even Yan Muqing's expression eased a bit when she saw her.

"Jinxi, hurry up and pay your respects to Southern River Country's Princess Sai Yao."

"There's no need to be so polite, esteemed imperial concubine. Even though I'm a guest, I know how to be polite. I should be the one to pay my respects."

Hearing this, Yue Ziyue finally understood that this girl called Zhenxi was most likely Yan Shuqing's younger sister. Her facial features were very similar, except that there was a much more cheerful and smiling expression on her face than Yan Muqing.

After everyone in the room had eaten their chocolate, Yue Ziyue returned to the backyard. After resting for a bit, she was just about to exit the room when she was raided by a reckless person.

On closer look, it was actually the Sixth Prince Yan Yusheng. Yue Ziyue had thought of many ways and situations to meet him, but she hadn't expected that Yan Yusheng would meet her at his place.

"Are you surprised that I chose to meet you here?"

Yan Yinian sat on his chair with a leisurely expression, not showing the slightest sign of guilt on Yue Ziyue's face.

"As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. Don't worry, even if Yan Muqing knew, she wouldn't do anything to me."

Upon hearing Yan Yunniang's words, Yue Ziyue became furious. "You're the Sixth Prince of Li Jing. No matter how much Yan Muqing hates you, he won't do anything to you. But he won't let me off!"

"What's there to be afraid of? When the time comes, you can just say that you're meeting your lover."

Yue Ziyue's face reddened as she retreated to the side. Her expression gradually became cold. "My mission is completed. I should also leave now."

His expression was indifferent, and there was a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes. He immediately said, "Once on the boat, everyone will be like grasshoppers on the same rope. Do you think that if you leave now, no one will suspect you?"

Yue Ziyue was livid. "Yan Yunniang, I knew things would not be this simple. Don't go too far!"

"I'm not here to quarrel with you. I want to get the Imperial Jade Seal hidden in Yan Muqing's residence."

Yue Ziyue could no longer endure Yan Yusheng's request. "You won't take his Imperial Jade Seal?" What's the point of relying on a woman? "

Yan Yinian, who was not the least bit angry, smiled mischievously, "This Flower Palace is only a palace in the harem. The current emperor, in order to stabilize his position, is relying on women!"

Finishing her words, Yan Yinian smiled again, "Yue Ziyue, I know your identity, your past, and even what you want. You will get everything from Yan Muqing, I think you should understand some of the reasoning behind this."

With that, Yan Yunian stood up and said before he left, "I want to get the Imperial Jade Seal as soon as possible. Don't disappoint me."

Yue Ziyue looked at Yan Yunian's departing back as if she was being gnawed by millions of ants. She felt both uncomfortable and regretful.

A sleepless night.

The next day, Huayi Palace suddenly became silent. Only after capturing a palace maid did they find out that today was the Seventh Prince's promotion ceremony. There had never been a prince that held the promotion ceremony when he was conferred the title of prince.

How could Yue Ziyue, who loved to join in on the fun, miss out on such an exciting palace banquet?

Recalling that there was still some chocolate left over from the day before yesterday, he decided that since he was going to her promotion ceremony, he should at least bring something without the gift money as a form of celebration.

Yue Ziyue firmly believed in this idea, so she left the backyard and made her way to the kitchen using her memory. She planned to take the remaining chocolate and give it to the Seventh Prince.

Just as she went into the kitchen to find the chocolate, she heard a series of soft footsteps outside. Yue Ziyue hugged the chocolate, and hid herself under the long table due to her sixth sense as a woman.

Through the tiny crack, a pair of pink embroidered shoes appeared on the other side of the door. The steps were very light, as if she was rummaging through the kitchen.

Yue Ziyue didn't dare to make a sound. If she hadn't personally experienced such an event, it would be hard to imagine the thrilling feeling of hiding in the dark.

The gap under the long table was too narrow, and it was obstructed by all sorts of angles. Yue Ziyue could only see a palace maid gently doing something, but she couldn't clearly see her movements.

After the palace maid left, Yue Ziyue trembled as she peeked her head out from under the long table. She looked around and didn't find anything out of the ordinary.

Thinking that this kind of place wasn't suitable for her to stay for a long time, Yue Ziyue left the kitchen with the chocolate in her arms and followed the palace maids and eunuchs out of the palace.

Yue Ziyue had never seen the Seventh Prince before. It was said that the Seventh Prince was young, and that he had been very quiet in the palace since he was young. His mufei had died too early, and his early childhood had cast a shadow.
