C107 Protest Chapter 107

"Actually, I was just trying to test you on purpose." Shihan patted Jiegeng's shoulder.

"Trying to test me?" Jiegeng immediately tilted her head and stared at Shihan.

"Let's see if you have the self-awareness to enter this circle." Shihan smiled and said, "After all, this place is not pleasant to say. It is a place that eats people but does not spit out bones."

Shihan looked at the root and her eyes lost their focus. She immediately comforted, "You don't have to be so disheartened. What I said is worth it in this palace, not the Zhen'an King's Mansion. So don't worry too much."

Jiegeng nodded as if she understood.

At this moment, the sound of the girl in the pink dress in front of them could be heard.

"No, only this hairpin can't. As for the rest of the things you want, I've given them all to you!" The pink girl kept on crying.

"What should we do? She's making a huge ruckus right now. What should we do if someone else attracts us here?" One of the people surrounding the pink dressed girl said.

"What are you afraid of? In this palace, who would care about her?" The other person's attitude was really arrogant.

"But today is the Empress's banquet, what if..."

"What, do you think the Empress has time to bother with her!?"

"Judging from the pink dress girl's attire, she should be someone from the Palace. How could she be bullied so miserably by the two of them?" Although Jiegeng held back her steps, she still had doubts in her heart.

"She is the late emperor's youngest daughter."

"This means that she is actually Eldest Imperial Princess! How could she be bullied to this extent?"

"The bad thing is that her biological Imperial Brother is the prince who committed a great crime of rebellion eight years ago. That year, the previous emperor directly killed all of their families, including their mother. This Eldest Imperial Princess was only two years old at that time. It's really pitiful for her. She did not have the support of her mother and outsiders at such a young age. The former emperor did not have the support of his mother and outsiders. It was also because of the rebellion. She also became estranged." Shihan explained to Jiegeng.

" So that's the case. " Jiegeng sighed.

"But I can still meddle in this business!" Shihan smiled, "I am in a good mood today. It just so happens that these snobbish noble ladies are not pleasing to the eye. Consider Eldest Imperial Princess lucky!"

Jiegeng followed Shihan forward but in her heart, she secretly thought that Ms Shihan had reminded her not to cause trouble and not to abuse her sympathy. Actually, the person with the best heart was her, right?

"What is the matter with you guys?" Shihan carried her airs and directly asked behind the two girls.

When the two girls turned their heads and saw Shihan, they were immediately frightened to the point that their souls almost disappeared.

After following Shihan this time around, Jiegeng finally understood why the people in the capital said that the princess of King Yi's Mansion was unruly and domineering. With this kind of lineup, how could people not be afraid?

"Greetings, princess." The two girls said in unison.

Eldest Imperial Princess took the opportunity to put the hairpin in her arms and immediately lowered her head silently. She could not see the behavior of a princess at all.

"Who borrowed your courage to bully the weak in the Palace? Regardless of age, with just the two of you, you dare to act arrogantly towards Eldest Imperial Princess, can you?" Shihan actually felt that these matters were really boring. Most of the noble ladies in the capital were too timid. They did not even need to show their swords and were already scared out of their wits.

"Princess, please spare us. We... We did not bully Eldest Imperial Princess."

"Oh, is that so?" Shihan deliberately dragged out her tone.

"Yes, we indeed did not!" The two girls saw Shihan's tone soften and thought that Shihan believed it and quickly replied.

Shihan's eyes were fixed and she coldly said, "Do you think I am deaf or blind?"

"This official does not dare, this official does not dare!" The two women hurriedly admitted their mistakes. "Eldest Imperial Princess, say something. We didn't bully you!" The overbearing girl secretly gave a look to Eldest Imperial Princess.

The two girls held Eldest Imperial Princess's temper. In the past, when she was able to enter the Palace, she would use all her strength to bully her. This Eldest Imperial Princess would never cheat, so they thought that today, she would pass easily.

"These two people are delusional to compete for the royal family's item." Little Eldest Imperial Princess no longer had that fearful attitude from before and spoke resolutely.

"You!" The rude woman subconsciously wanted to curse, but she immediately realized that Shihan was right in front of her, and quickly kept her mouth shut.

"I remember that you are from the Duke of Liang's family, right?" Shihan asked lazily.

"Yes, grandfather is the Duke of Liang's house, and his elder sister is the Imperial Palace's Consort Liang." The evil woman emphasized the three words "Duke of Liang" and even mentioned her elder sister, hoping that Shihan would let the two sisters off because of this.

"Hmph, so what?" Shihan laughed coldly, "Although Duke of Liang was an important official in the past, but now... It is just a leisurely position that the Imperial Court is nurturing. As for your elder sister, she is just an unfavoured consort." Shihan suddenly stared fiercely at the two of them," Not to mention the two of you, even your so-called big sister... To bully the children of the Imperial Family like this, you will also be severely punished! "

Only now did the two women of the Liang family kneel down in fear.

"There are no rules in doing things. It seems like my family's teachings are not enough. Why should I disgrace myself at the banquet later? I might as well return early!"

When the two of them heard this, they were immediately dumbfounded.

Although it was because of their sister that they were able to enter the palace gates once a month. However, this kind of banquet where young talents gathered was an opportunity that was hard to find in a year.

Furthermore, just like that, the two sisters returned home at the same time. Who knew what kind of rumors would spread outside.

"Still not leaving? Do you feel that what I said is wrong?"

"Princess is right. We sisters will return to the residence immediately." The two of them were afraid that Shihan would punish them and quickly left.

"Thank you, Princess Shihan." After Little Eldest Imperial Princess expressed her thanks, she decided to stay.

"You've been holding it in for so long. Why can't you bear it now?" Jiegeng looked at her back as she turned around and asked curiously.

Shihan turned her head to look at Jiegeng and praised in her heart. She also noticed it.

Jiegeng walked in front of Little Eldest Imperial Princess and half-squatted. " We only helped you this time. Next time you touch them, they'll definitely hate you for what happened today. Looking at their arrogant attitude before, you must have never resisted before. Why did you resist today?"

Little Eldest Imperial Princess looked at Jiegeng and felt that she did not have any ill intentions. Only then did she use a somewhat tender voice to say, "Because today's hairpin, I will definitely not give it to them. In the past, they wanted to cause trouble for me, so they came to find me. "

After saying that, Little Eldest Imperial Princess did not stay any longer and immediately left.

Jiegeng slowly stood up and looked at Little Eldest Imperial Princess's back as she left. She seemed to be deep in thought.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you in a daze?" Shihan purposely used her shoulder to hit Jiegeng.

"I was just thinking that she was just a little girl about ten years old. How could she be so mature? She was obviously afraid of those two girls, yet she pretended to be so scared. He was clearly at his most innocent and naive age, but his eyes were so deep and profound."

" That's normal. " Shihan already had an understanding look on her face. "Although she has the reputation of Eldest Imperial Princess, she is still burdened with the influence of her brother's plot. In this palace, only by being wronged and seeking fulfillment can one live for a longer time. Even if she is a princess. People nowadays are very eager to become stronger. So, we can still maintain our true nature, so we should be thankful. I benefited from my parents, and you're because of your grandfather."

Jiegeng sighed and smiled helplessly.

"However, your grandfather protected you even better. When I touched you before, I felt that you were as pure as a baby that was not tainted by the secular world. But now, there's nothing we can do about it. There's nothing we can do about it. " Shihan patted Jiegeng's shoulder.

"By the way, do you know where that hairpin came from?" Jiegeng did not want to let herself be caught up in the thoughts of human nature and took the initiative to change the topic.

"I didn't expect that you are still quite good!" Shihan teased, "Look at that hairpin, it is a rule that only imperial concubines have. It should be left to her by her mother."

"It seems that this deep palace did not turn Eldest Imperial Princess into a bad person. After all, the person who still remembers familial love in his heart is not bad at all." Jiegeng smiled, "This kind of self-defence method is understandable."

"Wait, I think you have made a mistake. Who told you that people in the palace would play some tricks? Are they bad people?"

"In the script!" Jiegeng naively said, "In the book, only those treacherous people would have so many schemes."

Shihan could not help but lower her head to support her forehead, "Looks like I have to slowly teach you."

"Isn't this Princess Shihan?" When Shihan and Jiegeng walked to the main area of the garden, there were more and more people around. At this time, a voice came from the crowd. Then, they saw a man walking over.

"Ah, it's you?" Shihan glanced at him and said disdainfully, "You still dare to come and look for me? Aren't you afraid of getting beaten up?"

"If it wasn't for the new face beside you and the beautiful woman, I wouldn't dare to come over." That man was quite graceful.

"Elder sister, this is?" Jiegeng could not help but turn her head and ask Shihan.

"The youngest son of General Chang Yan, Qi Han." Shihan explained.

"And this young lady is?"

"Hello, Young Master Qi. My name is Bai Jiegeng."

"Bai Jiegeng?" Qi Han thought for a while and then suddenly realized something. " Oh, you are the Princess Renxi that the Emperor sealed a few days ago!"

Jiegeng nodded her head.

" Alright, you already know her now. Is there anything else? " Shihan looked at Qi Han impatiently.

"Princess Shihan, today's banquet is just to give us a chance to get to know each other. It's not good for you to chase them away just like that, right?"

"Elder Sister, you don't seem to like this Young Master Qi, right?" Jiegeng asked curiously from the side.

"Although he is the son of the Great General, he can't even defeat me! I am not interested in those ignorant and incompetent people."

"Princess Shihan, you're being too serious. Why am I an ignorant and incompetent disciple? Who said that the son of the Great General must have outstanding martial arts skills?" Qi Han hurriedly defended himself.

"So, what is your specialty? Drinking flower wine? Or gambling?" Shihan mocked.

"Those are just toys for entertainment. What I am best at is analysing people's hearts." Qi Han looked at Jiegeng. "Especially beautiful women."

Shihan rolled her eyes at the side, and her evil intentions immediately came up.

"Don't you know that Jiegeng has been decided by someone?"

" Oh? Who is it? I really don't know which family's young master it is. Tell me, I want to see who is stronger! "Qi Han immediately spoke arrogantly.

"He's just a man with a bad temper. He can't be considered a young master. It was decided by Jiegeng outside the capital. " After Shihan finished speaking, she smiled mischievously at Jiegeng.

Jiegeng immediately pulled Shihan to the side and softly said, "Older sister, what are you doing?"

"I'm helping you!" Shihan said confidently, "You can't give up the entire forest just because you got a big tree. It's not a bad thing to know more people. Maybe you will slowly not feel good about my cousin."

"Sister, aren't you adding more trouble!" Jiegeng became anxious.

"Alright, alright!" Shihan saw that Jiegeng was sweating and could not bear to play with her. "I know that you have feelings for my cousin. But... Don't you want to see how jealous he is?" Shihan seduced Jiegeng.

"This..." Undeniably, Jiegeng was very moved at this moment.

"So, leave it to me!" After Shihan gave Jiegeng a look, she once again brought Jiegeng back in front of Qi Han.

"Although, you don't have any real ability, and you can't beat me..."

When Shihan brought this up again, Qi Han could not help but interrupt. "Princess Shihan, not everyone has the guts like Ouyang Lingfeng..." When she mentioned Ouyang Lingfeng, Qi Han immediately wanted to slap himself in the face. How could he seek his own death by mentioning this person in front of Duan Shihan? He regretted his marriage three years ago. Duan Shihan hated him so much that his teeth itched. He must not vent his anger on himself.

"No, of course you are not as heroic and valiant as you are!" Now that Ouyang Lingfeng was mentioned in front of Shihan, he could only hear Shihan's wireless praise for him.

"Princess Shihan, what is going on?" Qi Han was confused.

"I don't need to know the details, but I will reserve a glass for you at the wedding." Shihan gave Qi Han a rare smile.

"Okay, okay, okay!" Qi Han had escaped from death. He did not dare to ask the reason in person.

"If you really have such intentions, it would not be a problem for me to let Jiegeng have a heart-to-heart talk with you." Shihan pushed Jiegeng forward.

"But you must remember, don't think of bullying her, otherwise my fist will not let you off first!"

"Princess, don't worry. I naturally won't dare to do anything to Princess Renxi." Qi Han said with a smile.

"Sister, I'm panicking when you say that." Jiegeng looked at Qi Han in panic and then turned to Shihan.

"It's fine. Although this person is not very capable, he is still a good person." Shihan gave Jiegeng some relief. "I have a few good friends over there. I will go and greet them first."

"Qi Han, take care of them well!" Shihan scolded and immediately retreated.

"Princess Renxi, this way please."

Jiegeng had no other choice but to follow Qi Han around the garden.

"Princess, look over there. What is it?" Not long after they left, the two of them had nothing to say. Qi Han was the first to break the deadlock.

Jiegeng looked in the direction Qi Han pointed and did not find anything unusual.

"Nothing, young master Qi." Jiegeng turned her head and saw Qi Han taking out a flower from behind Jiegeng.

Qi Han handed the flower to Jiegeng, "Such a beautiful flower must be held by a beauty to show its value!"

This was the first time Jiegeng had encountered such a powerful method. In a trance, she took the flower.

"Oh, this Princess Renxi is really good!" A woman suddenly appeared in front of the two of them. Her tone was filled with disdain towards Jiegeng.
