Shi Ran was really irritated by her own stupid sister. She said to her maid coldly, "Go get the ruler."
Madam Shi whispered to Lord Shi, "We've already taken out the ruler, are you really not going to stop us?"
"Didn't you hear what Yue'er said? It's so disrespectful. Let's leave first, so we don't have to watch Ran'er scolding Yue'er later."
The Crown Princess will be the mother of the country in the future, so how can they make irresponsible remarks?
If the emperor heard this, he would think that the Shi family had rebellious intentions and were coveting the position of Crown Princess. Not everyone could bear this accusation.
The maid took the ruler and handed it to Shi Ran, then stepped aside.
Shi Yue'er slowly stretched out her hand and closed her eyes.
With a "snap", the ruler hit Shi Yue'er's hand mercilessly.
After three strokes, Shi Ran handed the ruler to the maid.
The pain in her hand was not as strong as she had imagined. Shi Yue'er squinted her eyes and glanced at her sister. Seeing that the ruler was no longer in her hand, she quickly stood up and took her arm to shake her.
"Sister, I know I was wrong, and I didn't say this everywhere, really."
Shi Ran glanced over, and Shi Yue'er silently let go of her hands and knelt back on the ground skillfully.
"Get up. Starting tomorrow, spend some time copying Buddhist scriptures in your room to change your impetuous temper."
Shi Yue'er stood up and pointed to the door, "Sister, can I go back and rest now?"
Copying Buddhist scriptures is better than being locked up in an ancestral hall. If not now, when will you escape?
"Go back."
After Shi Yue'er left, Shi Ran also returned to his own yard.
Seeing the maid hesitate to speak, she said calmly, "Just say whatever you want to say."
"I think the Second Miss is doing very well."
Although not calm, this is what a girl should be like.
The young lady is obviously only a few years older than the second young lady, but her temperament is so calm that it does not match her age.
"Everyone in the family dotes on Yue'er. If I don't discipline her, there's no guarantee that this girl won't get into big trouble."
The people in the capital are all shrewd. She had already felt the hostility of the noble ladies towards her at the palace banquet yesterday.
If these people wanted to deal with her, the best person to start with would be the simple-minded Yue'er.
"Didn't the eldest lady just soften her heart? With the eldest lady in the capital, the second lady will definitely not get into trouble."
Shi Ran's voice softened. "I'm afraid life won't be easy after I return to Beijing."
The maid was confused and asked, "Why did you say that, young lady?"
"Among the princes in the palace, only the Fourth Prince and the Crown Prince do not have wives. The reason why those noble ladies were hostile yesterday must be related to this matter."
After all, in the capital, the only ones whose family background and age match those of the Fourth Prince and the Crown Prince are her and Qin Qianqian.
Qin Qianqian and the Fourth Prince are childhood sweethearts, so naturally she would not enter the Eastern Palace. If nothing unexpected happens, the person who will enter the Eastern Palace can only be her.
…
Qin Qianqian was sent back to the Qin Mansion by the Fourth Prince, and the two of them stood at the door and talked.
"Go in quickly and have a good rest."
The Fourth Prince was about to turn around after he finished speaking, but he heard Qin Qianqian speaking in a pinched voice.
"Thank you, Fourth Prince, for sending me back."
The Fourth Prince paused in his steps, then raised his hand and placed it on her forehead.
"Qin Qianqian, are you crazy?"
It's late at night, what's the point of smoking?
Qin Qianqian clenched her fist and punched his chest lightly, "You're annoying."
The Fourth Prince: “…”
Could it be that someone had taken over her body like Yang Xin? This was too abnormal.
Qin Qianqian stole a glance at the Fourth Prince's expression and felt secretly annoyed.
Isn't she gentle enough?
Why does she have that expression? Could Liu Qian be lying to her?
Isn’t it said that men have no resistance to gentle girls?
No, it’s probably because I’m not used to it at first, so my expression looks a little weird. I’ll go back and practice in front of the mirror.
"Go back quickly and don't stay outside in the wind. Otherwise, I'll be sad if you get sick."
Afeng, who was standing next to them, was trying to suppress his laughter with his back to the two of them.
Is this a little hobby between the two of them?
But His Highness doesn't seem to buy it.
"Qin Qianqian, be normal."
The Fourth Prince stood there like a wooden stake, not allowing Qin Qianqian to push him.
"I'm very normal."
Qin Qianqian blinked and softened her voice.
"Go back quickly."
The Fourth Prince stared at her uncertainly, "Are you really okay?"
Qin Qianqian nodded and only breathed a sigh of relief after the Fourth Prince's carriage left.
"I'm dying of suffocation."
The maidservant beside her also breathed a sigh of relief. "You scared me to death just now, but the Fourth Prince and you have known each other since childhood. Why did you have to be like this?"
Qin Qianqian led her towards the mansion, saying as they walked, "It's not entirely because of him. I was worried that Concubine Shu wouldn't like my current personality, so I wanted to test whether he would buy into this."
Liu Qian said that this was how she won back Liu Zhi's heart and made County Magistrate Liu recognize her.
The Fourth Prince sat in the carriage but still couldn't understand why Qin Qianqian had become like this.
"Your Highness, this is the first time you've seen Miss Qin like this. Are you surprised?"
The Fourth Prince glanced at A Feng and asked, "Which eye of yours saw my surprise?"
What a surprise! Wasn't everything normal when we came back from Xinglin County? I'll have to ask the Third Princess to take a look tomorrow.
…
The next day, Qin Qianqian got up early and practiced in front of the bronze mirror. After practicing, she went to have breakfast with Lord Qin and Madam Qin.
"Good morning, Dad."
Her voice scared Lord Qin so much that the spoon in his hand fell onto the table with a loud noise.
Madam Qin came over with the porridge and asked, "Master, how come you can't even hold a spoon steadily?"
