An Piao'er has always been proud, and she would never allow herself to lower her head and ask An Yuan'er who the bookmark was for on behalf of the Fifth Prince.
If An Yuan'er knew that the Fifth Prince was so obsessed with her bookmark, she would be smug to death.
An Piao'er didn't want An Yuan'er to be smug.
She secretly played a trick on the Fifth Prince, saying, "Yuan'er said that she wants to give her bookmark to the person who ranks first in the next school test."
As soon as An Piao'er finished speaking, the Fifth Prince's face darkened.
As everyone knows, Yi Chenli always takes first place in every test, while the Fifth Prince always comes in second.
An Piao'er thought that the Fifth Prince should give up now and wouldn't want An Yuan'er's tattered bookmark.
So she kindly comforted her, saying, "Your Highness, Piao'er can also make bookmarks. Whatever kind of bookmark you want, Piao'er will make it for you. It will definitely be no worse than my sister's."
Yi Chenqi clenched his fists tightly, feeling somewhat unwilling.
"I just want Xiaoyuan's bookmark. I don't want any other people's." Yi Chenqi slammed his hand on the table, sounding agitated.
The Fifth Prince wouldn't be short of bookmarks; the important thing is the person who delivers them!

The Fifth Prince, Yi Chenqi, is quite talented and has excellent grades. However, he used to be too fond of playing and never devoted himself to studying.
During this time, he studied extremely hard, determined to get that bookmark.
Even Yi Chenqi himself felt that, in all his life, he had never wanted anything so much.
The Empress was so pleased to see that her somewhat playful son was actually willing to calm down and study that she went to the Buddhist hall several times to fulfill her vows.
However, the cruel truth is...
Yi Chenqi noticed that he always scored slightly lower than Yi Chenli in the quizzes after each of the Grand Tutor's lectures.
It's truly a case of "Why did Heaven create both Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang?"
If this continues, he'll only be second in the next rankings.
Actually, Yi Chenqi didn't care about being ranked second; what he cared about was Xiao Yuan'er's peach blossom bookmark.
Yi Chenqi was troubled for a long time but couldn't find a solution.
Seeing the Fifth Prince's distress, his follower came up with a terrible idea: "Your Highness, why don't we find someone to beat up the Sixth Prince so badly that he can't get up and naturally won't be able to participate in the next exam?"
"Idiot!" Yi Chenqi kicked his lackey.
"That way everyone will know that I was the one who did it."
The attendant, somewhat flustered, said in surprise, "Your Highness, do you still care about others? You used to bully the Sixth Prince like this."
Yi Chenqi's face darkened: "Shut up!"
“That was then. Xiao Yuan’er doesn’t like me bullying him.”
"Your Highness, you really care about Miss An. But if you don't beat him up, you won't get first place; you'll only be second!"
Yi Chenqi kicked his follower away again: "Your Highness knows, I don't need you to remind me, that I'm the second son."
The lackey pitifully rubbed his sore backside. He thought that if Miss An didn't like His Highness kicking him, that would be great; he'd probably be laughing in his dreams.
The test is tomorrow.
After class that day, Yi Chenqi deliberately waited until everyone had left before approaching Yi Chenli.
The two brothers met face-to-face for the first time, and they didn't fight.
Yi Chenli was already silent; he wasn't in a hurry and quietly watched what Yi Chenqi wanted to do.
Yi Chenqi was an impatient person, and after standing there dumbfounded for a long time, he finally couldn't hold back anymore.
Yi Chenqi never dreamed that he could do this.
But since he couldn't fight Yi Chenli, he had no choice but to resort to this tactic.
