However, she also knew that her status was different from Feng Yi's, so she wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to get close to Shangguan Qian. If he entered Great Yan Nation, he would then make other plans. Who would have thought that he would cause such a ruckus today?

The unwillingness and resentment in her heart grew stronger, and she was not convinced. Why did Shangguan Qing Qian want anything, but she could not? Why was the heavens so unfair?

"Mother, why do I feel that Shangguan Qian is a little strange today?" Shen Ruoqi and Shen mama supported each other as they spoke, puzzled. The way Shangguan Qing Qian looked at her especially, was as if he hated her as much as he hated her.

Shen mama's expression was dark as she coldly snorted. "Right now, she's a large princess. As long as something like that happens, she's nothing. When the time comes, wouldn't she have to listen to everything I say?"

Shen Ruoqi secretly nodded her head, a trace of a sinister smile in her eyes.

The February weather was the best. Shangguan Qian opened the window and let the warm wind in. The wind caressed her face, tickling his, but it was very comfortable.

The peach blossoms outside were blooming just right. However, he had no choice but to burn the side chamber last night and destroy many peach trees. It was truly a pity.

"Princess, the First Prince has been standing in the side palace for quite some time." Cui Zhu placed a plate of dessert to the side and softly reminded him.

A smile appeared on Shangguan Qian's face once more, he casually picked up a bunch of keys and said: "Really?"

Outside the hall, the wind blew and the peach blossoms fell to the ground. It looked like it was in a dream, but the side hall was burned in an unbearably shabby manner, making it seem somewhat out of place.

Still clad in white, Shang Guanmo stood by the side palace entrance, his eyes solemn, his thoughts unknown.

"Is royal brother free recently?"

Shangguan Qian wore a dark green dress, and it was very eye-catching when standing in the sea of pink flowers. Coupled with his originally delicate face, he looked like a fairy.

However, the profoundness in those eyes had never been there before.

"Your royal sister's grand wedding is coming soon. Your royal brother naturally doesn't dare to be careless." He suddenly bent down, pinched the dirt on the ground, and pretended not to care, "I really don't know why there is kerosene here."

Fire-oil –

Shangguan Qing Qian's expression changed slightly, and she smiled, "It might be that little girl who accidentally landed here."

In order to make the fire burn a bit bigger, she had sprinkled some oil around the bridal chamber. However, she didn't expect him to find out.

"That should be it. Can I give you my royal sister's key?"

Shangguan Qian'er walked in front of him, scrutinizing him carefully. He didn't know why, but she kept having the feeling that he knew something, or perhaps was already suspecting her?

Although he didn't have the memory of this man in his previous life, it didn't mean that he didn't have any influence in this life.

"The hall is already burnt down, what do you want the key for?"

As he spoke, he extended his hand to grab Shang Guanmo's right wrist, but it was quickly suppressed by his hand. His strength was great, and she had no way of resisting.

Shangguan Qian Qian furrowed his brow, letting out a hollow laugh as she released his hand, and the pressure he exerted also disappeared.

Although he had died when he was seven, she suddenly remembered that he had a round birthmark on his right wrist.

"What royal sister said is right. Since the palace is destroyed, there is no need to take the key." He turned around and left.

Shangguan Qian'er looked at him calmly, feeling that she was a stranger to him. Besides, Shang Guanmo seemed to be on guard against anyone, was he really still his big brother? She folded a peach blossom at random and his eyes turned dark.

Shangguan Qian should have been served by four palace maids, and Shen Ruoqi was one of them. However, he had been on good terms with Shen Ruoqi since he was young, so he had always been indulgent towards her.

The newly arrived silk, the good color rouge, as long as Shen Ruoqi took a fancy to it, she would give it to her.

However, what they got in return was this kind of cruel and unscrupulous character. Indeed, people couldn't be too kind.

"Hong Ying, why is it that it's already this time, why haven't you seen Ruoqi coming over?" Shangguan Qian sat on the table, fiddling with a zither by his side.

Ever since she was young, she didn't like these things, so she wasn't proficient in them. Shen Ruoqi on the other hand, was different. She was proficient in all kinds of arts and calligraphy.

The red tassel didn't like Shen Ruqi very much, because in front of the princess she was as arrogant as a master. They were obviously palace maids, but Shen Ruqi didn't do any menial work.

"She? You should be embroidering the wedding dress right? Princess, you've forgotten. Didn't you let her embroider the wedding dress yesterday? " The red tassel said quickly.

"You talk too much!" The slightly more mature Cui Zhu lectured in a low voice.

Shangguan Qian did not pay much attention to it, instead, he casually played with the zither as he said indifferently, "Go call her."

The red tassel seemed surprised. If it was a normal day, the princess would have let it go, but it did not matter whether she came here to serve him. What was going on today? Furthermore, why did she feel that the princess was a little strange?

Very quickly, Shen Ruoqi, dressed in a purple palace attire, appeared alongside the red tassel. Her hair was neatly combed, and her cheeks were purple and red from the beating yesterday.

She looked at Shangguan Qing Qian with a pair of delicate eyes that seemed as if they were about to cry.

"Sister Qian …"

Her voice was very soft and soft, revealing weakness everywhere. A typical wind could make a weak girl fall.

"Ruoqi, I've got a new zither, its sound is not bad. I've thought about it, among all of us, you're the only one who plays well. Try it."

Saying that, he pushed the guqin in front of her, and looked at Shen Ruqi with a smile.

Shen Ruqi bit her lips, her face carrying a hint of melancholy, and her heart was even more furious. What did she mean by this? Asking her to chase the bride out by herself for a month, and now telling her to play the zither? Then can she still use her hands?

This was simply making things difficult for him!

"Sigh, what a pity." She sighed as if in regret.

The usually quick talker Hong Ying was unhappy and could not help but grumble, "Everyone is a girl, who isn't injured? If the princess wanted to hear the zither, could it be that she had to welcome her. to suit you? "

When Shen Ruqi heard this, her face flushed red from anger. She lowered her face and said, "If you can, come at me."

"I just don't know, I know, and I'm not as hypocritical as you!"

"Sister Qian, look at her …" Shen Ruqi was so angry that her face turned pale, and tears of grievance welled up in her eyes.

"Hong Ying is right, and this is indeed a good zither. Why don't you try it out?" Shangguan Qian'er smiled as he pushed the zither in front of her.

No matter how unwilling Shen Ruqi was to play, with so many eyes on her, she could only sit down and play.

The sound of the zither was really good. Shen Ruoqi's hand was pierced during the embroidery process, so she had to play her fingers every time she played the zither.

Her ten fingers were linked to her heart, instantly causing her to break out in a cold sweat. She wanted to end it, but then she remembered Hong Ying's mockery. She didn't want that damned girl to laugh at her!

Not to mention, Feng Yi had also said that he liked to listen to her play the zither the most! He could only grit his teeth and continue playing.

During this time, Shangguan Qian fell into a deep sleep, lying on the rattan chair as if he was tired. Shen Ruoqi complained repeatedly, feeling depressed in his heart. On one hand,he wanted to stop, but on the other hand, she was still afraid of Shangguan Qian.

She had a problem, and that was who was sleeping. If he disturbed her when she felt like it, she would lose her temper.

Shen Ruqi was so angry that her face turned pale, her fingers could not even muster up any strength, and her voice almost stopped. However, deep in her heart, she was anxiously hoping that Shangguan Qian would wake up soon.

The elegant notes of the zither played throughout the afternoon, and Shangguan Qian only woke up when he was almost done with the meal.

Ding –

The zither made an ear-piercing noise, Shen Ruoqi was so tired that she was panting on the ground, her hands didn't dare to move. There were originally wounds on her fingers, but now the pain was even worse.

"Why is Ruoqi still playing these days? "It's a pity that I didn't listen to anything after sleeping for an entire afternoon. How about you play again tomorrow?" Shangguan Qian yawned and spoke slowly.

Shen Ruoqi sucked in a breath of cold air, bit her lips and raised her damaged hands in front of her, "Older sister Qian, I'm afraid that I won't be able to bounce off of my hands anymore."

"Aiya, how did this happen?" Shangguan Qing Qian was surprised as she took her hand and examined it carefully.

His ten fingers were all injured to varying degrees, and some of them even had traces of blood on them.

"Cui Zhu, where's my bottle of pearl powder? "Give it to Ruoqi."

When Shen Ruoqi heard this, she felt a little happy in her heart. Pearl powder was very precious in the large pond, and only royalty could afford it.

"Thank you, Princess." She smiled faintly as she thanked him. Although she was not happy, she did not want to show it on her face. As long as it was something serious, she would see how Shangguan Qian was still acting arrogantly!

Shangguan Qian looked at her hand with pity, sighing, "Ruoqi, my wedding dress is not to be trifled with, you mustn't let any blood stain it! "This is bad luck!"

"Ruoqi understands."

"Alright, you should go rest." Shangguan Qing smiled faintly, his eyes filled with a gentle light.

Returning back to the courtyard, Shen Ruoqi placed one foot on the chair. Both of her arms were sore, and her fingers were in excruciating pain. How could she weave clothes now?

"Why are you so angry?" Shen mama walked in with an indifferent expression. Ye Zichen probed with her eyes.

Shen Ruoxi grievingly shed tears, and showed her hands to Shen mama as she wailed, "Shangguan Qian had me play the zither for an entire afternoon, my arms are about to break!"

"Furthermore, she told me to sew the wedding dress. How could I sew the wedding dress with my hands?"

"Logically speaking, Shangguan Qing Qian's character has changed a lot, did she discover something?" Did you see your bracelet and guess something? " Shen mama asked with a deep voice.

Shen Ruqi also stopped crying, and asked with a panicked expression, "Then what?"

"Looks like I have to test her when I have the time. You should also be more careful, don't reveal any flaws!" Shen mama said. Horned Eyes was a bit shrewd.

Shen Ruqi wiped away the tears on her face, "It's best if she doesn't feel comfortable."

"That's for sure." Shen mama laughed evilly and took the initiative to wipe her fingers with the pearl powder beside her. "The princess is going to offer sacrifices to her ancestors as well as before marriage. When the time comes, she'll look good."
