C139 You Didn't Even Have Half a Piece of the Fruit Core!
“Second sister, did you see that? The Seventh Prince is full of hostility toward you. That must be the Ninth Princess who is saying bad things about our Wei Clan behind our backs. That little girl thinks she is so important because she is a noble?” Wei Lanyue had been holding a grudge against Lan Qingqian ever since she lost her limelight and was taught a lesson by Lan Qingqian. She would always say something mean when she got the chance.
Wei Lanyue felt uncomfortable when she heard that. She scolded Wei Lanyue, “Alright, you are being talked about. Go and study.”
Wei Lanyue was unhappy when she was coaxed away. She jogged for a while and purposely walked closer to Lan Qingqian. Then, she whispered, “Why don’t you die?”
She seemed to be afraid that she would get revenge. So, she left after saying that.
Lan Qingqian frowned, but she ignored her. Han Mianmian, who was next to her, couldn’t stand it anymore. So, she asked her.
“A crazy dog bit me. Do I have to bite her too? I don’t care about her. Anyway, she only dares to talk about me,” Lan Qingqian said.
Han Mianmian was two years older than her. She laughed and said, “You are different from them.”
“What’s different?” Lan Qingqian was curious. Although she knew that the people around her always liked to talk about her and they always had some kind of hostility toward her, she didn’t care. After all, those concubines didn’t really like her in Canglan.
And she could play with Prince Gu!
“They said you were very fierce and bad. They said you came in through the back door.” Han Mianmian was a bit embarrassed.
“What nonsense! I come in through the front door every day. When did I come in through the back door?” Lan Qingqian was a bit angry.
Han Mianmian smiled, “Your Highness Jiu, the back door means that you can’t come in because you are a princess. That’s why you said you came in through the back door. ”
Lan Qingqian wasn’t angry, “Oh, then I really came in through the back door. But what’s wrong? I am a princess. And Prince Gu of the West Province also came in through the back door?”
“They said you were very fierce, bad, and bullied people. Aren’t you angry?”
“I’m not angry. If other people want to bully me, I will bully them back. My father said that I can’t lose anything. I can’t let others bully me!” Han Mianmian smiled as she looked at her energetic body, “I think you are very good, unlike what they said.”
“What’s your name?” Lan Qingqian realized that she didn’t know Han Mianmian.
Han Mianmian opened her mouth, “My name is Han Mianmian.” Lan Qingqian seemed to not know, so she added, “My father is Han Chang Gong, a heroic general.”
When Lan Qingqian heard this, the image of the general who took Little Qing Tang appeared in her mind.
“Do you have a cousin called Song Qingtang?”
“How do you know? I heard it from my mother not long ago. She said that my uncle’s concubine gave birth to a little cousin. The concubine’s family sent her here because they couldn’t support her.”
Lan Qingqian was happy when she heard that Song Qingtang really had a family. She nodded and smiled. “I heard it from someone else.”
Han Meimei laughed. “I went to see her before. She’s white and tender, and she’s cute. She can cry very loudly. But she’s not like my uncle or my aunt.”
Lan Qingqian muttered in her heart, ‘It’s not your uncle’s. Of course, she’s not like that.’
Because Song Qingtang was not familiar with her, Lan Qingqian and Han Meimei quickly got to know each other.
In the afternoon, they organized a shooting class. The younger children were put in a group and ran around the field. Only the older children were allowed to go to another field to learn shooting.
Lan Qingqian was bold. When she saw that there were fruits on the tree, she climbed up and picked them. Han Meimei picked them from below.
“Your Highness Ninth Prince, you’re too good. Be careful and don’t fall.”
When they heard the noise, a group of children were attracted over.
The tree was so high. Not to mention girls, not many boys aged eight or nine dared to climb it.
Lan Qingqian was wearing a blue dress. She held a thin pole and kept hitting the fruits.
Almost all the fruits fell to the ground. Children of all ages, regardless of gender, were picking them from below.
“Your Highness, please come down! I picked up a lot of fruits!”
Han Mianmian happily shouted from under the tree with her clothes. Lan Qingqian glanced over and saw that the fruits were almost all gone. She threw the basket and climbed down from the tree.
The children were surprised and envious. “Wow, so powerful!”
They were all from noble families. Not to mention girls, even boys were not allowed to climb trees for their own safety.
Lan Qingqian wanted to find a place to wash the fruits that Han Mianmian had given her, but she saw a young man in blue standing not far away from her.
Lan Qingqian walked over and handed him a fruit. “Do you want to eat it? Is it fresh?”
The young man in blue took the fruit and left.
“The tree is very dangerous. Don’t climb it in the future!” The young man in blue said earnestly, as if he was a teacher teaching a student.
Lan Qingqian turned around. “What’s there to be afraid of? My house’s tree is much taller than this one. I can climb it too!” Her tender face was full of joy and pride.
Ever since he knew that he couldn’t change her bad habit of climbing trees, Gu Jun’an started to torment her and train her to climb trees.
Until now, she was extremely nimble when climbing trees, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
Little Orange was too playful and refused to climb the tree. She was the one who caught it herself.
“My name is Shen Jinyu.” Seeing that she was about to leave, Shen Jinyu suddenly introduced herself.
Lan Qingqian’s feet had only moved a little when she realized that he was telling her his name. She waved her hand and said, “My name is Lan Qingqian. I am Canglan’s most beautiful princess!”
Shen Jinyu stared at her as she walked away. Her mind was still replaying the words, ‘My name is Lan Qingqian, I am Canglan’s most beautiful princess’.
She secretly added, ‘She is also the most beautiful princess in the West Continent.’
When she went back, Lan Qingqian had kept some of the fruits and secretly took them back to Gu Jun’an.
She looked at Lan Qingqian holding the fruits in her hands and giving them to him. She felt very proud of herself.
Gu Jun’an felt that it was funny. He took one and tasted it. It was just nice that three and seven tea was brought in.
Gu Jun’an saw that he had seen it. He looked a little proud. “These were picked by Little Jiu and given to me by this king!”
San Qi felt disdain in his heart. ‘What is there to be happy about with these wild fruits?’
When they came in for the second time, the fruits had been eaten clean. The seeds were still on the plate. He pointed at them and said, “Take them to the backyard and plant them. Tell the person who is responsible for the flowers and plants to take care of them. If they don’t survive, plant their heads!”
San Qi watched as the servant carefully buried the seeds.
He muttered, “Hey, you said that these wild fruits are worth such a treasure. When I went in, the prince told me that it was given to me by the Ninth Prince.”
San Qi held his hands and looked at them. “Did you not see that the prince was showing off to you?”
“What did I do wrong?” San Qi was confused.
“Who told you to steal food from the Ninth Prince? The Prince told you that you don’t even have half a core in the Ninth Prince’s heart.”
