C32 Do your best

Shangguan Qian raised his head and met those charming eyes. His heart could not help but jump into his throat, clenched his teeth, and spoke with a clear voice. "Men and women are different;

Li Fengyi looked at Kingdom Advisor who was lying on the bed in confusion, a look of anger and hatred flashed past his eyes. This weirdo, relying on the trust and love of royal father, did not know who he was.

"Oh? Are you sure you want me to talk to you face to face? " Ouyang Jin raised his smile, his white hair revealing his enchantment, and his brows slightly raised, carrying a bit of probing.

Shangguan Qian's expression was a little stiff, he really didn't know what this guy was talking about. Could it be that he had discovered her pulling Li Danfeng back when he was underwater?

Or did he know that she had played with him in the pool? Biting his lips, he took a step forward, but was stopped by Li Fengyi.

"Kingdom Advisor! Although the royal father respects you, it does not mean that you can do as you please. Qian Er is the princess of Dali, and she has not married me yet, shouldn't you be aware of this? "

Ouyang Jin's face revealed a trace of ridicule, he lazily ate the grape, and said faintly: "Xiao Shengzi, you're so noisy."

The Xiao Shengzi eunuch outside the boat cabin walked in and without saying a word, he grabbed onto Li Fengyi's pulse. Li Fengyi's expression changed, he secretly exerted strength, and actually couldn't break free.

"Ouyang Jin, what do you mean by that!"

"Third Prince, Kingdom Advisor didn't invite you on board just now. Get off!" A strange yin and yang sound rang out as Xiao Shengzi used a force to drag him out of the cabin.

In comparison, although Li Fengyi was huge, he was still not a match for Xiao Shengzi.

"Ouyang Jin! "If you dare do anything to Qian Er, I'll kill you..."

Outside the boat cabin, Li Fengyi angrily shouted.

Shangguan Qian's face paled a little. He originally thought that Li Fengyi's martial arts were already considered good, but it was actually inferior to a Young Eunuch.

"Why aren't you coming over?"

She raised her head and met Ouyang Jin's eyes. Her long and narrow eyes carried a bit of evil charm.

Demons ?

For some unknown reason, she thought of this phrase: evil spirits and demons. In comparison, she truly did not wish to offend this lord.

Shangguan Qian leisurely walked in front of him, her clear eyes flashed with suspicion as she deliberately put her hand behind her back. "I wonder what orders Kingdom Advisor has."

"Do you eat grapes?"

It was originally a question, but before she could reply, a grape was thrown into her mouth. She choked and coughed.

"Qian Er has yet to thank Kingdom Advisor for saving me that day. If there is a chance in the future, Qian Er will do his best to repay this debt."

"How do you do your best?"

With a trace of impatience, she whispered, "Other than Qian Er's life."

"Heh ?"

A cold laugh caused goosebumps to form all over Shangguan Qian's body. He lowered his head, and could still feel the cold air emitting from his body.

Suddenly, a fragrance came out, and before she could react, she was pulled into Ouyang Jin's embrace.

She turned pale with fright, and directly punched towards Ouyang Jin's face without thinking, but he easily caught her fist.

"Shangguan Qian, using this to borrow a knife to kill others is not bad, but have you thought about the consequences of not using me?"

His warm breath was behind her ears, and she felt small bumps all over her body, and what scared her even more was that he already knew.

"Qian Er is willing to be used by Kingdom Advisor."

Ouyang Jin squinted his eyes lazily, a smile hanging on his lips the entire time, he asked softly, "What value can you have?"

"As long as Qian Er is alive, there's naturally value in it."

Ouyang Jin squinted his eyes and sized up the little lady in his arms. She was clearly a little girl, but there was a deep and ruthless look in her eyes.

"I'll give you a chance."

He gently pushed her away and spoke indifferently, "The scent on your body is very unique."

Shangguan Qian's face twitched, his expression carrying a trace of lingering fear, which also meant that Ouyang Jin had already known about this from the side of the pond. Was she the one who was playing with him?

That's why he stepped on her in the water? This dark Kingdom Advisor! It was not an exaggeration for Li Danfeng to say that he was a demon.

At that moment, the boat came to a stop. She stood on one side, her face pale, cold sweat almost covering her back.

"Now you know fear? How come I didn't know fear when I was being frivolous? " Ouyang Jin raised his eyebrows and lazily shook the clothes on his body. Because he had stood up, a large part of his chest was exposed.

Shangguan Qian's eyes looked straight at him, he had to admit, his figure was not bad, and he could not help but imagine the scene when he touched him in the pond, his face instantly burning up.

"Qian Er... "Unintentional."

She lowered her head and touched the flirty red peony on Ouyang Jin's clothes. Her lips couldn't help but twitch, this man's taste was really unique.

However, in the next second, his chest turned cold as he carelessly stroked his chest with his large hands. With a teasing tone, he said, "I, was unintentional."

Shangguan Qian remained unmoved, as though he was not the one being touched, and laughed dryly, "Kingdom Advisor, the boat has reached the shore."

"En, it's time to disembark. Third Prince is still waiting for you." He smiled lightly and shook his clothes again. Almost all of them were hanging on his body, but they cleverly blocked the area that should be covered.

A sweet fragrance floated past her nose, Shangguan Qian's expression froze, she raised her head to look at the white figure, her mouth revealing a bitter and bitter smile.

Why did she feel that if she were to offend this fellow, there wouldn't be any good outcome for her in the future?

After getting off the boat, Li Fengyi walked over nervously, and sized her up, and asked: "Kingdom Advisor didn't do anything to you, right?"

Shangguan Qian pretended to be ignorant and shook his head, "Kingdom Advisor is treating me to grapes."

As he said that, he took out the purple grapes in his hand, and his face had a look of fear, "But Kingdom Advisor is so scary."

"Then he didn't say anything to you?"

"Nope."

Li Fengyi looked deeply at Ouyang Jin, who was being embraced by everyone and sitting down, a trace of disgust leaked out from his eyes.

"Alright, since there's nothing else, take your seat." Li Fengyi pulled her to a corner and sat down.

Shangguan Qian turned his head to look at the two pools of lotus flowers beside the pavilion.

"Right, where did Princess Danfeng go?"

Shangguan Qian thought about Li Danfeng who was continuously being thrown into the water, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled up. After experiencing this incident, Li Danfeng probably wouldn't dare to enter the palace for a period of time.

"Dan Feng was frightened and returned home early."

Just then, Shen Ruoqi and Cui Zhu also went into the pavilion, and the two stood behind Shangguan Qian.

"Princess, are you alright?" Cui Zhu asked worriedly.

"I'm fine."

Ouyang Jin leaned on a chair and lazily drank his wine. Sitting beside him was the crown prince, Eighth Prince and the Empress, and since the Eighth Prince and the crown prince were both born of the empress, the empress held them in high regard.

The emperor would never appear at a gathering like this. After all, the empress dowager had only just received the reward not too long ago, and it was only a chance for the court ladies to display their talents.

Many of the princes were at the age of marriage. If they performed well, they might have a chance to become the crown prince's consort. Therefore, none of them wanted to miss this chance and did their best to perform.

"Princess, what talent have you prepared?" A gentle female voice was heard, and she couldn't help but turn her head.

Wasn't the one who stood beside her the Sun Yuejiao he knew previously, the Miss Sun?

"I didn't prepare talent."

"Ah?" Aren't you prepared? " Sun Yuejiao found a place to sit beside her, but from time to time, his gaze would drift towards Li Fengyi who was beside her.

"All of them?" Shangguan Qian said indifferently, no one had told her to prepare anything before.

"That's not true. The other misses hope that their talents will attract the attention of the people they like." Sun Yuejiao said with a red face, her small face revealing a hint of bashfulness.

Shangguan Qian subconsciously looked at Li Fengyi, who was beside him, and lightly nodded. "That's right, but I really don't have any talent."

"Miss, Madam wants you to go back and prepare. It will be your turn soon." A mama came over and asked anxiously.

Sun Yuejiao smiled at Shangguan Qian, "I'll go prepare."

She nodded, took a sip of the tea by her side, and felt a little sleepy, and subconsciously glanced at Li Fengyi who was by her side.

If she had not seen Li Fengyi secretly buying medicine at the Sun family mansion, she would not have associated him with Sun Yuejiao.

Even if Sun Yuejiao came here earlier on, he would not have been moved. This man was truly scheming, at least he would be able to hide it well.

The zither Sun Yuejiao played was swapped for a set of white robe s, and they gracefully sat in the middle, quietly playing.

The level of playing was very high, it would take at least ten years of effort. Shangguan Qian squinted his eyes, and with a faint smile on his face.

"This Miss Sun is indeed a wise man."

"Is that so?" Li Fengyi replied blandly, his gaze never leaving Sun Yuejiao's body.

"I just don't know who will be able to hold a beauty. "Where is he?" Shangguan Qian giggled as he made his move. As expected, he saw Li Fengyi's face darken a little.

He quickly lowered his head to drink his tea, effectively hiding his previous mood.

"The Miss Sun's zither skills are outstanding. As expected of the number one talented girl in the great Yan." The empress couldn't help but praise him, her eyes full of admiration.

"Speaking of which, Miss Sun has also reached the age of marriage." The empress answered with a meaningful look, her eyes brimming with smiles.

"My daughter just happens to be twenty-eight this year. "Her health has always been bad, her parents have always kept her in their daughter's womb."

When the empress heard this, her face changed slightly. She had intended to tell the crown prince about the incident, but upon hearing the news, she was startled. His health was not good, so he immediately gave up on this idea.

"Ol 'Eight, what do you think of the Miss Sun?" She turned her head, and smiled as she asked Eighth Prince Li Qingying.

Li Qingying glanced at Miss Sun and muttered, "He's so sick, so boring."

"Which lady have you taken a fancy to? Empress Mother will fix the marriage, and we will get married together next year. " The empress glanced at Li Fengyi. Since Li Fengyi had married a princess of another country, she could not allow her two sons to be left behind.

At the very least, they had to choose a relative that would benefit them.

Li Qingying glanced at the officials and young ladies seated below, and finally cast his gaze in Shangguan Qian's direction.

"Speaking of which, the Empress Mother must have never seen a princess before. Since we're already in the palace, let's take this opportunity to show off and let us have a look at her beauty. How about it?"

Shangguan Qian's eyelids twitched, and he glared fiercely at Li Qingying. He clearly had the intention to embarrass her in front of everyone.

"Oh? So Princess Dali has come as well. " The empress pretended not to know as she asked, "Has the princess prepared her talent?"

Saying that he wasn't prepared at this moment was the same as embarrassing himself in public.

"Return to Empress Mother, Qian Er, she ?"

"Empress Dowager, Qian Er only knows a few insignificant techniques, he can't be considered a genius, he must be an idiot." Shangguan Qian interrupted Li Fengyi and looked at him before standing up and walking to the center.
