Chapter 45 It’s really thanks to the Fifth Princess

Feng Xici looked at the hairpin, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Didn't reach out to take it.

Shangguan Jue was not in a hurry when he saw this, and spoke in a gentle tone.

"I just happened to find this on the street. I don't have any use for it, so I'm giving it to you."

In fact...he had sent people to search the entire capital city to get this.

But he didn't want her to have any psychological burden.

Just think of it as a normal gift.

Feng Xici looked at the hairpin and her heart couldn't help but start beating wildly.

The hand on the table tightened unconsciously.

Finally, he said calmly: "Then... Thank you, Your Highness."

She stretched out her fair hand, ready to take the hairpin.

The moment she took the hairpin, her fingertips touched his palm.

Both of them felt a slight shudder in their hearts.

I couldn't help but look away, not daring to look at the other person.

A layer of red blush appeared on the tips of Feng Xici's ears.

"It's getting late, I'll go back first."

Shangguan Jue was so embarrassed that his voice stuttered.

"Okay, okay, I'll let Tang Xing take you back."

Feng Xici shook her head, "No need, my sedan chair is waiting outside the door."

Watching her gracefully walking away, Shangguan Jue felt his heart beating even more violently.

He already knew her identity.

When they first met, the fifth sister called her Sister Feng.

He followed the path and soon found out everything.

Her name was Feng Xici, and she was the daughter of Minister Feng.

He couldn't help but admire her a little. Young ladies from official families often had more restrictions.

But she still insisted on opening the clinic and saving lives.

How kind and brave.

When he returns from Ningcheng, he wants to marry her...

Feng Mansion.

Feng Xici sat at the table, holding the white jade carved hairpin in her hand.

He stared at the hairpin in a trance.

The maid Yunxiao was packing clothes aside and couldn't help but muttering out loud.

"Miss, you don't know that today Miss Wang's maid asked me if you are the little miracle doctor who is very popular in the capital recently?"

Feng Xici came back to her senses and asked, "Ms. Wang?"

Yunxiao nodded, "Miss Wang's mother is good friends with our wife. She had a lot of pimples on her face before, and it was you who cured them."

After hearing this, Feng Xici remembered.

She stroked the carved patterns on the hairpin with her right hand and asked, "So how did you answer?"

"Of course I deny it. After all, my wife and master have told us that the fact that the young lady runs a clinic outside cannot be disclosed."

Feng Xici nodded, "You did a good job."

Then her eyes fell on the hairpin again.

She held the tip of the hairpin and turned it gently in her hand.

As if she had thought of something, the corners of her mouth curved into an extremely gentle smile.

She likes this hairpin...

I also like people who give me hairpins...

The next morning, Bihua Palace.

"Mom, the copper pot hot pot meat last night was so delicious! I want to eat it again tonight!"

Shangguan Sui tilted his head back, spoke in a cheerful tone, and the little pear-shaped cheeks were filled with smiles.

The Concubine Chen had a doting look on her face as she tied a bow on Shangguan Sui's small hoodie.

"Okay, you can eat whatever you want."

Seeing that there was nothing wrong, he handed Shangguan Sui over to Qingping.

He ordered: "The roads are slippery on snowy days. Tell the servants who are carrying the carriage to be careful so as not to let the princess fall."

Qing Ping nodded, "Yes, Madam."

The Concubine Chen leaned against the door until she could no longer see Shangguan Sui, then she turned around and went back to the palace.

Continue to look at the accounts of the harem.

Meanwhile on the other side.

Concubine De lay in the soft and warm quilt and slept until she woke up naturally.

She opened her sleepy eyes and asked in a daze, "Should I send Hong'er to the Shangshufang?"

The maid Hongmei looked helpless.

"Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince has already gone there and is now attending classes."

Concubine De sighed.

"Well, I didn't get up to send Hong Er off this morning."

Hongmei muttered as she lifted the curtain, "You've said this eight hundred times. From the first day that the Fourth Prince went to the Shangshufang to study, you started saying that you had to get up in the morning to send the Fourth Prince to school."

"Now the Fourth Prince has been studying in the Shangshufang for three years, and you have never gotten up to see him off once."

Upon hearing this, Concubine De smiled guiltily.

"I can't get up..."

She also wanted to send Hong Er to school, but the quilt was too warm!

Hongmei, who was standing by, seemed to have thought of something and sighed with relief.

"But the Fourth Prince has made a lot of progress recently. He used to have to be urged many times before going to class, but now he gets up on his own every day."

"In the past, when I sent him to class, His Highness would always play some tricks and refuse to attend class properly. Now, he can't wait to get to the Shangshufang."

Upon hearing this, Concubine De raised her eyebrows in curiosity.

"Hiss, according to what you said, Hong Er has indeed made a lot of progress recently. Do you know why?"

Hongmei tilted her head, thought for a moment, and then expressed her guess.

"It seems to be because of the Fifth Princess."

Defei sat up from the bed, "Fifth Princess? The daughter of Chenfei?"

Hongmei nodded vigorously, "That's right. The Fourth Prince came back recently and started to do his homework seriously."

"He always mutters that if his fifth sister finishes her homework, he has to finish it too, so that his fifth sister will like him."

Defei's expression became more and more interested.

"It seems that Hong'er's great progress is really thanks to the Fifth Princess."

Hongmei totally agrees.

"This saves your Majesty a lot of trouble. In the past, your Majesty was always worried about the Fourth Prince's studies. Now that you have the Fifth Princess, your Majesty can be more at ease."

Defei curled her lips and smiled, and Zhang Yang's eyes were full of joy.

She immediately ordered excitedly: "Go, give the fifth princess my favorite red lance!"

Hongmei gave a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Your Majesty, you like swordplay, but the Fifth Princess may not like that~"

Her mother's favorite thing every day is to sleep in and practice swordplay...

I have never seen such a concubine before.

De Fei was startled and laughed dryly twice, "That's right."

"Then you can give the princess the purple jadeite that our father recently sent her. It is a specialty of our Xia country. You can use it to make a crown for her."

When Hongmei heard this, her expression immediately became a little embarrassed.

Purple Jadeite...

Isn't it a bit too expensive?

Purple jade is the top treasure among jades and is extremely rare even in the Xia Kingdom, which is rich in jade.

Defei looked at her and frowned, "What's wrong?"

Hongmei pursed her lips and whispered, "Isn't this purple jade a bit too expensive..."

Concubine De snorted lightly.

"Yeah, that's true. Then give him my red spear."

Hongmei shook her head quickly, "Then I'd better give her a purple jadeite."

Giving jadeite as a gift is a gesture of goodwill and gratitude.

Giving a red gun, I thought it was a declaration of war...

Shangshufang.

The last bell rang, marking the end of today's class.

Shangguan Sui walked out of the house with Qingping, with a hint of sadness on her delicate and pretty face.

She took Qingping and kicked stones along the way as they walked towards the Bihua Palace.

Xiao Ziyuan noticed her and immediately followed her.

When passing by Yu Garden, he called her.

Shangguan Sui turned around and looked at him, and Xiao Ziyuan bowed.

"Greetings to the Fifth Princess."

Shangguan Sui waved his hand, "Stand up."

Xiao Ziyuan pursed his lips and said thoughtfully: "The princess seems a little unhappy today."
