Chapter 74 This is exactly the girl of her dreams!

In the end, Shangguan Sui could only "helplessly" accept the dagger.

He gave half of the cantaloupe in his box to Shangguan Hong.

Shangguan Hong was so delighted that he picked up the wooden box and started eating.

He mumbled in praise: "It's delicious, so delicious!"

After school, Shangguan Sui took the cantaloupe to find Xiao Ziyuan and gave him some.

Shangguan Hong returned to Chengguang Palace with the cantaloupe he had not finished eating.

He deliberately left ten pieces of cantaloupe uneaten so that he could eat them while listening to the story!

Ah, how beautiful and happy!

Shangguan Hong's unruly eyes were filled with happiness.

My steps were a little faster than usual.

After practicing a set of sword techniques in the courtyard, Concubine De took the handkerchief handed to her by her maid Hongmei and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

His body was still hot, so he picked up the teacup beside him and drank from it in big gulps.

Hongmei said quickly, "My Lady, please drink slowly and don't choke."

After drinking, Concubine De casually put the teacup back on the table.

His eyes fell on Shangguan Hong who had just stepped into Chengguang Palace.

Seeing his quick steps, Concubine De couldn't help but frown.

Why is this guy running so fast?

Is there trouble in the Shangshufang again?

Concubine De cleared her throat and called out to Shangguan Hong.

Shangguan Hong was forced to stand still.

Concubine De stood up and walked closer.

Shangguan Hong immediately hid the wooden box in his hand behind him...

If my mother finds the cantaloupe...

I guess there won't be any left...

Defei found something wrong. "What's in that wooden box? Let me see."

Shangguan Hong shook his head quickly, his voice stuttering.

"Yes, it's the homework assigned by the Master today!"

Defei obviously didn't believe it.

He's her own son, how could she not understand him?

If his son studied so hard, even a sow could climb a tree.

She wouldn't dream in broad daylight.

Under the disbelieving gaze of Concubine De, Shangguan Hong was finally forced to hand over the wooden box.

Defei opened the wooden box and looked at the yellow fruit inside, her eyebrows furrowed.

"What is this?"

Shangguan Hong pursed his lips, his eyes full of reluctance, "It was the cantaloupe that my fifth sister gave me."

De Fei asked, "Is it delicious?"

Shangguan Hong shook his head quickly, "It's not delicious! It's very unpalatable! It's really unpalatable!"

Defei didn't believe him and tasted a piece of Hami melon from the box.

As soon as the sweet fruit flesh entered her mouth, Concubine De's eyes lit up instantly.

This unknown fruit is delicious!

Soon, Defei finished eating four pieces of Hami melon, but she still felt unsatisfied.

She looked at the six remaining cantaloupes in the box and couldn't help frowning.

How can we eat all the food we have left?

Concubine De swallowed and turned to look at Hongmei.

"Tell me, if I ask Concubine Chen for cantaloupe, will she give it to me?"

Hongmei gave a smile that was uglier than crying.

"My lady, how would this servant know?"

"But I heard that the Empress Chen is kind-hearted and easy to talk to. If you ask her for it, I'm sure she will give it to you."

Concubine De showed a thoughtful expression.

"But if I ask other concubines for food, won't it make me look too greedy?"

Hongmei: In fact, the entire palace knows that you are a glutton...

Shangguan Hong, who was standing by, heard this and quickly spoke to Concubine De.

"Mother, please go quickly! Just go to see the Empress Chen once! I want to eat cantaloupe!"

De Fei waved her hands impatiently, "I know, I know."

"You don't have to tell me. I, your mother, also want to eat cantaloupe."

Concubine De stood up quickly and said, "Come on, Hongmei, accompany me to the storehouse to pick out some gifts. Let's go to Bihua Palace."

Shangguan Hong's eyes were filled with joy, and he quickly followed Concubine De.

Shangshufang.

Shangguan Sui blinked and looked at Xiao Ziyuan beside him.

"Do you have a lot of homework today? I saw you were writing something just now."

Xiao Ziyuan swallowed the cantaloupe in his mouth and nodded.

"Indeed, there are more. Today, the master is teaching regulated verse and the assignment is to write poetry. We have to write ten poems."

Shangguan Sui frowned slightly. There were indeed quite a lot.

But when it comes to composing poetry and lyrics, she thinks of Yuesai.

Haven't seen her for a while.

Shangguan Sui immediately decided to go see Yue Zhai!

She quickly found out where Yuezhai lived and rushed there with Qingping.

As soon as Shangguan Sui stepped into the courtyard where Yuezhai lived, he heard the clear sound of a woman reading.

She frowned sharply and her eyes were alert.

This is not Yuesai's voice...

Shangguan Sui approached quietly and found several women sitting in the courtyard.

Yuezhai stood in the middle, holding a scroll in his hand.

Three or four palace maids were sitting in front of her, reading in unison.

When Yuezhai saw Shangguan Sui, he immediately put down the book and walked towards her.

The palace maids also turned around, saw Shangguan Sui, and saluted quickly.

Yuezhai smiled faintly and bowed, "Greetings to the Fifth Princess. Princess, why are you here?"

There was a smile in Shangguan Sui's beautiful big eyes.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, so I wanted to come and see you."

“Are you teaching?”

Yuesai nodded and explained slowly.

"The Emperor has granted me the privilege of teaching in the Shangshufang. The class I teach is Class A, which only has two students: the Second Princess and the Third Prince."

"But the second princess and the third prince usually don't come to class. So I had nothing to do, so I started teaching the palace maids around me to read a few words."

Yuezhai turned around and glanced at the palace maids.

"They all do odd jobs in the palace and only come to me occasionally. They come from humble backgrounds and are illiterate, but they have a desire to study."

"Princess, you won't tell the Concubine Chen to punish the slaves, will you?"

Shangguan Sui immediately shook his head, "Of course not, it's a good thing for you to do this! My mother won't punish you if she finds out."

But an idea came into her mind.

Shangguan Sui didn't say it directly. After chatting with Yue Zhai for a few more words, he left.

Shangguan Sui and Qingping returned to Bihua Palace.

As soon as he stepped into the palace, Shangguan Sui couldn't help but frown.

[No... Where does this bell-like laughter come from?! ]

Qingping couldn't help but shiver.

Could it be...that person has arrived?

Qingping took Shangguan Sui to the main hall.

As expected, as soon as I stepped into the palace, I saw Concubine De sitting on a chair and eating Hami melon.

Defei turned around and saw Shangguan Sui, her eyes immediately lit up.

What a cute and beautiful little girl!

Shangguan Sui wore a peach pink skirt today, which made her skin look white and tender, and her facial features looked as delicate as jade.

Defei's heart almost melted when she saw this.

This is exactly the girl of her dreams!

She had always known about the existence of the Fifth Princess, but because she didn't like to go out, this was her first time seeing the Fifth Princess.

I didn’t expect it to be so delicate and cute!

Defei was so excited that she didn't even eat the cantaloupe she had been craving for, and hurried to Shangguan Sui.
