In the greenhouse, the four of them sat around a round table. The food in front of them had been sent over from Kunning Palace. It looked and smelled great.

Little Jiajia buried her head in her food and glanced up at the young man opposite her from time to time.

The young man had a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes and gentle facial features. His white clothes added to his gentle temperament. It was different from Song Jingchen’s noble temperament. The young man was not aggressive. One would have a good impression of him just by looking at him.

This young man was none other than the Second Prince, Shangguan Yu, who was placed under the empress’s name.

“Princess, is there something wrong with my face?” Shangguan Yu put down his chopsticks and looked over with a smile.

He was good-looking to begin with, and his smile was like a spring breeze.

Little Jiajia was not embarrassed at all. She swallowed the food in her mouth and shook her head seriously. “Nothing wrong. I just think you’re quite good-looking.”

Song Jingchen paused.

Shangguan Yu was a little embarrassed by the praise. The tips of his ears turned red. “Thank you.” novelbuddy(.)com

“You’re welcome. I’m telling the truth,” Little Jiajia said in a matter-of-fact tone.

This should be the third time she had seen Shangguan Yu. The first time was when she first came to Great Xia, and the second time was at the palace banquet. However, her thoughts were focused on Song Jingchen the first two times and she didn’t notice anyone else.

Shangguan Han, who was working hard, looked up and smiled. “Then look at me, Princess. Am I quite good-looking?”

His second brother and cousin had both been praised by the princess. How could he be the only one left? He was not bad either.

Song Jingchen said in a low voice, “Don’t talk when you’re eating or sleeping. Eat well!”

Little Jiajia immediately agreed. “Yes, eat well.” She stopped looking around.

Shangguan Han was speechless.

Shangguan Yu was speechless.

For a moment, no one spoke in the greenhouse. Only the occasional sound of dishes colliding could be heard.

After dinner, Shangguan Yu got someone to set up the chess game that started the day before the break. He smiled and said, “If we don’t finish it today, I’m afraid I’ll have insomnia again tonight.”

Song Jingchen originally wanted to send Little Jiajia back to Huilan Court first. When he turned around and saw her sitting down on a stool, looking like she wanted to watch the game, he felt an inexplicable desire to win. Shangguan Yu smiled. “I remember that it’s your turn.”

Song Jingchen pursed his lips and reached out to place a piece on the chessboard.

The two of them sat down for half an hour.

Song Jingchen won the last chess piece.

“I lost again.” Shangguan Yu looked regretful and joked, “Can’t you let me win this time?”

Song Jingchen opened his mouth to say something, but a sudden voice sounded. “Really? You’re not lying to me?”

The two of them looked in the direction of the voice and realized that Little Jiajia and Shangguan Han, who had been sitting at the side watching the game, had gathered together.

Perhaps afraid of disturbing them, they each moved a small stool and sat opposite each other in a corner, muttering softly.

Little Jiajia snorted and let go of Shangguan Han’s hand. She knocked on his hand and said angrily, “If you don’t believe me, forget it.”

Shangguan Han rubbed his head and blushed. He stammered, “It’s not that I don’t believe you. It’s just that…”

“What’s going on? Fifth Brother, Princess, what are you talking about?”

The two of them turned around at the same time and met two pairs of curious gazes.

Little Jiajia did not react, but Shangguan Han jumped up and ran to the round table. “Second Brother, the princess said that she knows fortune-telling. She was reading my palm just now.”

“Princess, you have such ability?” Shangguan Yu seemed very interested. “Then what did you see?”

Thinking that everyone present was on his side, Shangguan Han immediately told her what Little Jiajia had said. “There was originally a calamity in life, but fortunately, with the help of a benefactor, the calamity will turn into nothingness and I’ll finally get what I want.”

“Who is the benefactor?” Song Jingchen suddenly asked.

“I haven’t had the chance to ask.” Shangguan Han looked at Little Jiajia, who had regrouped beside his cousin.

Little Jiajia grinned and pointed a finger at herself. “Of course it’s me.”

Song Jingchen and Shangguan Han were speechless. She really knew how to flatter herself.

Little Jiajia raised her chin, indicating that she was telling the truth.

Shangguan Yu found it funny. “I’ve met a divination master among the commoners in the past. I’m very curious. Princess, can you show me too?” He reached out to Little Jiajia.

Little Jiajia blinked and grabbed his hand, pulling it in front of her.

Song Jingchen’s gaze landed on their hands and he frowned.

Fortunately, Little Jiajia quickly let go, and Song Jingchen’s brows relaxed. Unfortunately, everyone’s attention was on Little Jiajia, so they didn’t notice this.

“A thought of kindness saves oneself. A thought of evil repays oneself. One wrong step leads to another. Unfortunately, it’s too late to regret it.” Little Jiajia had an unfathomable expression. She shook her head and sighed. After saying that, she even tiptoed and patted Shangguan Yu’s slightly stiff shoulder. She said earnestly, “It’s not too late to be kind now.”

“Go in. I’ll wait for you at the palace gate after school.”

Little Jiajia didn’t move. She tilted her head and asked him, “You’ll believe me, right?”

Song Jingchen knew that she was referring to what had happened just now. Ah Yu didn’t say anything, but Ah Han was so angry that he almost cried. He said that she was spouting nonsense.

Meeting the little girl’s hopeful gaze, Song Jingchen nodded. “Yes.”

Little Jiajia instantly smiled. “I knew it.”

There was only one zither lesson in the afternoon. Fortunately, Little Jiajia had slept well in the morning. She was not sleepy even if she did not rest at noon. Otherwise, she would have smashed someone’s zither when the room was filled with demonic sounds.

Coupled with the fact that she was in a good mood, not only did she not feel frustrated, but she also joined the demonic sound camp. Her fingers flew around, playing the zither until it clanged. It even drowned out the sound of the others’ zithers.

“Clang, clang, clang, clang-

Everyone was angry but did not dare to say anything.

The day’s classes finally ended. Little Jiajia ignored the resentful gazes of the young ladies and happily left the classroom with the green-faced Xiao Ruoshui.

She was the closest to Little Jiajia and had suffered the most from the demonic sound. After this incident, she did not cut ties with Little Jiajia. It was all her fault for being too kind.

Little Jiajia didn’t know how touched she was. After leaving the palace, Xiao

Ruoshui got into her carriage and left first. Song Jingchen didn’t appear either.

“Princess, are you waiting for Heir Song?”

Little Jiajia turned around. She had seen the person before. He seemed to be the fourth son of the emperor of Great Xia.

“Fourth Prince?”

The young man smiled. “My name is Shangguan Yao. I’m a year younger than you. You can call me Ah Yao directly.”

“Oh.” Little Jiajia’s expression was cold.

Shangguan Yao was a little angry. He thought of something and endured it. He continued, “Princess, you’re waiting for Heir Song, right? My father is taking a look at fifth brother’s homework in Mingde Court and called Heir Song over. He might not be able to come out so soon.”

“Why don’t I send you back first?”

Little Jiajia found it strange. This person was even younger than her, but he said that he would send her back? Was he going to send her back later?

“No need. I’ll wait for him in the carriage.”

The carriage from the Bulwark Duke’s residence had already arrived. However, she did not get into the carriage because she wanted to see her young husband first.

Shangguan Yao was not a good-tempered person to begin with. Seeing that Little Jiajia did not humor him, he threw the Eldest Prince’s words to the back of his mind and left angrily.

Little Jiajia snorted. “You’re unaccountably solicitous. You must be up to something..”
