Li Fengyi was the third prince, but he was not favored by the other princes. Therefore, the place he lived at was very cold and cheerless. Moreover, it didn't look luxurious, but rather simple and unadorned.

The servant guarding the mansion's entrance saw them from afar, but he did not come out to greet them. Instead, he hastily ran inside.

"Qian'Er, go in."

Li Fengyi carried her off the horse, and her body fell to the ground. The moment their bodies touched, the two of them arrived next to each other. His body tensed up, and he put Shangguan Qian down, and in the meantime, he smelt a refreshing scent.

His black pupils constricted and his entire body instantly began to heat up. There was a trace of undetectable irritation between his brows.

"Big brother Yi, you're back."

A surprised female voice came from the yard. Li Danyeng, wearing a pink dress, rushed over like a butterfly and hugged Li Fengyi's arm.

"Big Brother Yi, where did you go last night? Not back all night? Auntie's worried to death for you. "

As she spoke, she seemed to see Shangguan Qian's smiling face freeze up, and she asked rather unhappily, "Big brother Yi, why did you bring this woman back?"

"Danfeng, don't be rude!" Li Fengyi turned his head to look at Shangguan Qian, but he saw that there was no expression on her face, nor did he turn dark from Li Danyi's provocation.

Li Danyeng resentfully glanced at her and said in a deep voice, "Big Brother Yi, you brought her back without permission. Did you get Aunt's permission?"

"Mother will agree. We were originally going to get married. Dan Feng, stop trying to act like a child and let Qian'Er in."

Li Danyeng glared fiercely at Shangguan Qian'er, pouting: "Why …"

"Feng Yi, Miss Biao doesn't seem to be too welcoming of me. I think it's better if I go somewhere else." Shangguan Qian's face was full of pain, his face was haggard with helplessness as he turned to leave.

Li Fengyi grabbed her hand and coughed dryly, "Qian'Er, she didn't do it on purpose, don't mind her."

He then looked deeply at Li Danyeng and said, "Danyeng, she's your cousin!"

Holding Shangguan Qian's hand, they walked in. Shangguan Qian lowered his gaze slightly, and when he passed by Li Danyeng, the corners of his mouth curled up in a smug smile.

"You woman! I won't let you get off easy! " Li Danyeng's angry eyes slightly opened as she fiercely spoke.

Shangguan Qian pretended not to hear him, allowing Li Fengyi to hold her hand as they walked into the courtyard. Since Li Fengyi had not helped her prepare a room, it was not a good idea to arrange things for her.

"Ah Fu, go prepare a guest room for the princess."

"Third Prince, only the rooms in the backyard can be used in our house now, if the princess doesn't mind …" Ah Fu giggled as he spoke, but his eyes glanced at Li Danyeng who was following behind, and he had a condescending look in his eyes, as if he wanted to take credit for something.

"Shangguan Qian, you're in the big Yan now, not the big Li, it's good enough for you to have a place to stay, you still want to pick?"

Shangguan Qian'er's eyes widened slightly. The backyard? It was not particularly remote, and there was only one room, surrounded by dark bamboo. It was a very quiet place, but it was also very desolate.

"You must be joking, little miss. How can I not mind?" Just like what Miss Biao said, it would be good if Qian'Er had a place to stay. However, Qian Chao was the unlucky one. Even the inn was burnt down by someone. " Shangguan Qian Qian sighed, her eyes filled with grief, but she clearly said this to Li Danyeng.

And she had to tell Li Danyeng that she knew everything. She wasn't stupid enough to think that it was a so-called accident.

"Hmph, it's all because you were born with bad luck. Serves you right!"

Li Fengyi gave her a meaningful glance before turning to Shangguan Qian, "I've let you down, I'll get someone to clean this place up now."

"No, although Qian'Er is a princess, she isn't a pampered one and doesn't care where she lives. The main reason is that Qian'Er is afraid …"

"What are you afraid of?" Li Fengyi hurriedly asked when he saw that she was hesitating to speak.

"We are afraid of being gossiped about. After all, we are not married yet."

Li Fengyi did not seem to mind at all, "It's alright, I'll take care of it."

After living in Li Fengyi's house, he called for the imperial physician to bandage her wounds. There were many big and small wounds on her body, especially on her forehead, which was bruised from the collision.

However, from the beginning to the end, she didn't scream out a single word of pain, and when she applied the medicine, she looked as if she was enduring the pain with tears in her eyes, causing Li Fengyi's heart to fluctuate inexplicably.

He had always thought that as a princess, Shangguan Qian was extremely arrogant and haughty in his life, but now he had a different opinion of her.

She seemed to be different from what she imagined …

"I didn't sleep last night. Rest well now. If there's anything, ask Ah Fu to call me." Only after Li Fengyi gave his instructions did he leave.

Shangguan Qian Qian watched as Li Fengyi left, and his previously delicate face instantly turned cold. Standing up, he walked over to the table and poured a cup of water for himself. He asked calmly, "Is Shen mama still not back yet?"

"Nope, should we go look?" Although he didn't really like Shen mama, they had already lost Cui Yan. If they were to lose Shen mama again, they would appear too isolated and without help.

"Princess, shall we stay here?" Cui Zhu thought for a while before asking with some difficulty.

Of course, Shangguan Qian knew what she meant. In Li Fengyi's house, they were like outsiders, and no one liked them.

Cui Zhu and Hong Ying looked at each other and nodded their heads. Sometimes dodging might not be the best solution, it was still better to face it head on.

Shangguan Qian yawned. He really hadn't slept well yesterday, but it wasn't appropriate to stay here now. After all, this mansion still had Li Fengyi's birth mother, Consort Li.

The imperial concubine had been ordered to stay in the third prince's residence because her body was weak and sickly. Her body wasn't healthy, but that didn't mean she could be ignored.

She couldn't pretend that she didn't know, and she couldn't refuse to go visit without proper etiquette. However, the inn was on fire, and most of her dowry had been burned off. Even after being rescued by Cui Zhu, there was only one jewelry box.

Besides, the jade cabbage to pay respects to Senior Concubine was still at Shen mama's place. Where was she supposed to go now?

Suddenly, her eyes looked at the flowers beside the bamboo forest and her eyes lit up, "Mandala? There's actually such a flower here? "

"Cui Zhu, go and gather some. Be careful not to break any branches."

Only after an entire morning had passed did Shen mama and Shen Ruqi arrive. Shen Ruoxi's face was pale as she allowed Shen mama to support her. The legs didn't look very nimble.

The two of them had ugly expressions, especially Shen Ruoqi. Her eyes were lifeless, as if she had received a huge blow.

"Shen mama, where did you two go?" "Don't forget, even when you arrive at the Great Yan, you have to serve the princess!" The red tassel glared at them fiercely and muttered mockingly.

Shangguan Qian was drinking tea calmly, his eyes glanced at Shen Ruoqi and said softly, "Ruoxi, what happened to you? Is the leg inconvenient? "

"I …"

Shen Ruoqi's voice was hoarse and her eyes were slightly red, but she didn't say anything.

"Princess, Ruoqi fell into the stream yesterday, so her leg was fine." Shen mama lowered her head and said.

"Is that so? You have to be careful not to go out in the middle of the night without any business. Who knows what will happen? " Shangguan Qian said passively, mockery evident in his eyes.

Shen Ruqi's face was ashen, her entire person didn't seem to be in the mood. She lowered her head and whispered, "Ruoxi understands."

"Senior Servant Shen will bring the Jadeite Cabbage over in a while. When we arrive at the Third Prince's residence, we'll naturally have to pay a visit to Imperial Concubine, so as to avoid causing any trouble for those who want to speak. What do you say?"

"Yes, yes." Shen mama hurriedly nodded her head, but her expression was a little unnatural. "Your servant will deliver the emerald cabbage later."

After Shen mama said this, she supported Shen Ruoqi back to the side room next door. The back yard was desolate, and the house was dilapidated, but Shangguan Qian didn't even blink as he moved in.

He even acted as if this place was his home, without any discomfort.

On the contrary, Hong Ying and the rest kept mumbling that there was nothing here, that it was desolate and deserted.

Shangguan Qian fiddled with a bright yellow light. The scented bag with the hibiscus flower embroidered on it was then stuffed into his sleeve. At this time, the sound of chaotic footsteps came from outside.

"Miss Biao, my princess is resting. You've brought so many people with you to disturb her!"

The red tassel voice came from outside, causing Shangguan Qian's brow to furrow. Li Danyeng came again? She had already decided to live in this remote place, was that not okay?

"Heh, why is she so expensive? Hurry up and get her out. If she doesn't come out, I'll barge in!"

"Owner, what are you trying to do here?" The third prince told us to stay here! " Cui Zhu retorted word by word, even bringing out the Third Prince.

However, when Li Difeng heard her mention the Third Prince, her complexion turned even more unsightly. She arrogantly said, "Big Brother Yi is not at home right now, even if you were at home, you wouldn't scold me. This princess had just lost a pair of pearl earrings in the courtyard.

"What do you mean? You want to search us? We princesses are so fond of your earrings, obviously you were the one who planted them … "

"Pa!"

A crisp slap sounded out. Li Danyeng glared at the red tassel and impatiently said, "What the hell are you? You dare to call me framing? I haven't even searched you yet, what are you afraid of? It's clear that they have a guilty conscience! "

"You …" The red tassel tightly clenched its teeth as it stared at her with hatred. No matter how Li Danyeng messed around, she was actually framing the princess! She couldn't tolerate this!

"Keep staring!" I'll dig out your eyes with my glare! " Li Danyeng snorted coldly and called out to the servants behind her. "All of you, go in and carefully search for them."

With a "hualala" sound, all the servants rushed in fearlessly.
