Then, he touched the white jade cup in her hand.

For some reason, Shen Jiao suddenly understood the tyrant's meaning, and she picked up her cup and downed it in one gulp.

Ji smiled gently, mimicking her, and downed her drink in one gulp before leaving satisfied.

Shen Jiao: "..." If we're brothers, let's clink glasses? There's no need.

Xi'an kept a close eye on Shen Jiao's expression and comforted her, "Is Miss angry that His Majesty didn't dine with you? I heard from Eunuch Wang Fu that His Majesty has been very busy lately, dealing with the accumulated affairs of the past few years. Please be patient for a while longer."

Shen Jiao asked in surprise, "All these years?"

She thought she had enough homework from two summers already!

Xi'an: "Yes, His Majesty never used to go to the Imperial Study."

Shen Jiao then asked, "Then does he go to court?"

Xi An nodded: "Go, go when it's time to kill."

Shen Jiao: "..."

That's strange.

What triggered the tyrant to suddenly become so determined to improve himself?

It's like a child who doesn't like studying being called by their parents to work on a construction site for two days, only to come back and immediately start studying hard and becoming a better person.

Logically speaking, it's a good thing that Princess Ji is working hard, but Shen Jiao always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"Miss, Eunuch Wang requests an audience," a palace maid guarding the gate announced as she entered.

Shen Jiao propped herself up: "Come in."

Wang Fu hadn't seen Shen Jiao for a long time. He was so busy on the day he returned to the palace that he didn't even have time to see her. This time, he finally found some free time and came specifically to deliver a gift!

“Girl, look at this color, this pattern, this depth, this width, tsk tsk, this old servant dares to say that in the entire Great Yan, you can’t find another like it.”

Shen Jiao looked at the basin, which was twice the size of her face, and said with satisfaction, "This basin is perfect for washing your face!"

"No, no, no." Wang Fu shook his head and said seriously, "This is a bowl specially for you to eat from, young lady."

Shen Jiao: "..."
