After rebirth, the abstinent prince wants to marry me every day

Before the person came closer, the floating light had already blocked Zhu Qing'an.

Zhu Qing'an looked at the person coming from the opposite side and felt as if he was in another world.

"You, Zhu Qing'an, are so pretentious that you actually stood me up!" The man came to Zhu Qing'an in small steps, with anger all over his pretty face.

Zhu Qingan gave Fu Guang a look to let her leave, and then said to the newcomer with a slight impoliteness, "Fifth Princess, why do you say that?"

"You are still pretending to be confused!" The fifth princess Bian Qinyao was so angry that she wanted to take action.

After hearing this, Zhu Qingan was really confused. Fu Guang beside him quickly came over and said, "Shangyue, Princess, you have decided to have a horse race with the Fifth Princess!"

"Horse racing?" Zhu Qing'an really forgot. To others it was something that happened last month, but to Zhu Qing'an it was something that happened in her previous life. How could she still remember it?

"Sorry, I've been busy lately and forgot!" Zhu Qing'an bowed apologetically.

When the Fifth Princess Bian Qinyao heard this, she snorted coldly, "I think you are afraid of me and don't dare to accept the invitation!"

Bian Qinyao was the late emperor's fifth princess, the same age as Zhu Qing'an. Dressed in a flowing palace gown, she looked like a fairy, her eyes bright and charming, her whole person as clear and bright as the moon reflected in the water. In Ancheng, where beauties abound, she was undoubtedly a beauty. She and Zhu Qing'an were even known as the Twin Pearls of Ancheng, a tribute to their good looks.

If Zhu Qing'an is the bewitching nine-tailed fox in the painting, then Bian Qinyao is the pure and elegant lotus in the pond.

Their hostile attitude made the palace servants who served beside them keep their heads down and remain silent. After all, everyone in the palace knew that the Fifth Princess and Princess Yongfu had been at odds since they were young.

But these two people, one is a noble princess and the other is a princess favored by the queen mother, and no one can offend them.

It's funny to say that the reason why Zhu Qing'an and Bian Qinyao became enemies was just because they fought over a Zhu hairpin when they were young. As expected, the hairpin ended up in Zhu Qing'an's hands. Since then, the two have been at odds with each other, and it was mostly Bian Qinyao's unilateral hostility.

"The Fifth Princess is an excellent rider. I naturally can't compare to her!" Zhu Qing'an said with a faint smile.

When these words were spoken, not only Bian Qinyao, but even the palace servants were extremely surprised.

You have to know that these two have liked to compete with each other since they were young, and neither of them is willing to give in to the other. This is the first time that Zhu Qingan has directly admitted defeat.

"You..." Bian Qinyao pointed at Zhu Qing'an, looking as if she had seen a ghost. "What on earth are you playing at? I'm telling you, I'm not afraid of you!"

Seeing Bian Qinyao looking like she was facing a great enemy, Zhu Qing'an just found it funny.

Bian Qinyao is a noble princess, and she is not a person with a good temper. She was raised by her aunt, and her aunt kept all the good things for herself. Sometimes, some things were unique, and those things fell into Zhu Qingan's hands. Naturally, Bian Qinyao was unwilling to accept this.

Unfortunately, her mother was just a concubine and could not stand up for her. Over time, the two of them became enemies.

If Zhu Qing'an was good at poetry, Bian Qinyao would practice playing the piano and chess hard; if she had a new dazzling dress, Bian Qinyao would definitely make a set of dazzling headwear.

Over the years, neither of them has surpassed the other, but their reputations have become increasingly famous.

"The princess is naturally not afraid of me. It was my fault for breaking the appointment regarding the horse racing. Someone will send the coral hairpin to the princess's mansion later!" Zhu Qing'an said.

Now she also remembered that some time ago she had just won a gold-inlaid coral hairpin, and Bian Qinyao had proposed a horse race, with the prize being that hairpin.

Bian Qinyao looked Zhu Qing'an up and down suspiciously, with a look of unwillingness to believe, and even a hint of caution in her expression.

"I tell you Zhu Qing'an, I'm not afraid of you coming to me in a sneaky way!" Bian Qinyao leaned close to Zhu Qing'an and whispered.

These words reminded Zhu Qing'an that when they were young, they had fought fiercely and she had indeed tricked Bian Qinyao several times. No wonder Bian Qinyao didn't believe her.

After all, she and Bian Qinyao seemed to be at odds with each other, but in fact they were just playing around in the boudoir and never did anything serious.

Although Bian Qinyao always competes with me for everything, she has never used any dishonorable means. It can only be said that she is young and hot-headed, but she actually has good intentions.

In her previous life, when her Zhu family fell into decline, countless noble ladies had stepped on them, both openly and covertly. However, Bian Qinyao, who was at odds with her, was an exception. Since the Zhu family was confiscated, Bian Qinyao had never embarrassed or ridiculed her, and even sent some silver notes to her privately.

It was then that Zhu Qing'an realized how rare Bian Qinyao's straightforward character was compared to those two-faced fence-sitters.

"Time will tell if a person is a person. If the Fifth Princess doesn't believe me, there's nothing I can do! It's getting late, and I should go back!" Zhu Qing'an said and left.

"Princess, why are you so polite to the Fifth Princess today?" Wangshu asked in confusion.

You know, on ordinary days, when my princess faced the fifth princess, the two of them were at loggerheads, neither willing to admit defeat. Of course, my princess almost always won, while the fifth princess became more and more courageous.

"She is a princess, and I am a county lord. I should respect her!" Zhu Qing'an explained.

Wangshu listened to this and said anxiously, "Even if she is a princess, so what? In terms of nobility, she is no match for you, my Lady! What's more, it's always the Fifth Princess who's the first to cause trouble for you! If you give in to her this time, who knows what she'll do next time!"

"Wangshu, be careful with your words!" Fu Guang quickly pulled Wangshu's arm.

"The princess is polite and cautious, and we, as those around her, should be even more so!" Fu Guang explained.

Although Wangshu was unwilling, he knelt down quickly and said, "It was my servant who spoke nonsense. Please punish me, Princess!"

Zhu Qing'an looked at Fu Guang and Wang Shu in front of him without any intention of blaming them. The two had served him for many years, so naturally they had a different kind of feelings for each other.

Fu Guang is more stable, while Wang Shu is more aggressive, but both of them are loyal people, and they even died for him in their previous life.

"Get up, and be more careful next time! Wangshu, you only think that the Fifth Princess is always comparing herself to me, but you never considered that the Fifth Princess has always been honest and upright. Moreover, if I met someone of lower status than me who always overpowered me, I'm afraid I would be unwilling to accept it!"

Zhu Qing'an's explanation made Fu Guang and Wang Shu suddenly realize.

"What about that coral hairpin?"

"After returning home, have someone send it to the princess's residence, and also send the pair of earrings with double dragons playing with a pearl!" Zhu Qing'an ordered.

"Princess, you seem to like that pair of earrings!" Wangshu muttered, but did not refute.

Zhu Qing'an really liked that pair of earrings, but he also remembered that Bian Qinyao had been coveting that pair of earrings for a long time, but had never been able to win them from his hands.

Thinking of Bian Qinyao, Zhu Qing'an's face was filled with smile, but when he saw the imperial carriage, the smile disappeared.

"Your Majesty, I greet you. May your Majesty be well and safe!"
