The war god prince climbs the wall every night, and the princess is angry

Yichun Pavilion

Surrounded by green shade and the aroma of tea.

Zhou Lingyi, wearing a crescent-colored Liuxian dress, sat on a small couch by the window, playing with the night pearl in her hand. Her mind was full of the sweet words Xie Qian'an said to her last night, and there was a smile in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

All the servants in Yichun Pavilion could feel that the second young lady was in a particularly good mood today.

Caiwei walked in and said, "Miss, my cousin is here."

"Let my cousin in quickly." Zhou Lingyi said.

After what Xie Qian'an said last night, Zhou Lingyi is no longer so averse to Shen Qionghua.

Your Highness is right. I am just a chess piece. Why should I compete with a chess piece?

His Highness will make her pay back for the grievances she has suffered now.

As soon as Shen Qionghua entered the room, Zhou Lingyi came up to her, took her arm, and asked her affectionately as usual, "Cousin, why did you think of coming to my Yichun Pavilion today?"

As he said this, he glanced back.

Seeing that Shaoyao and Licorice were empty-handed, her brows furrowed slightly.

Shen Qionghua followed her gaze and immediately understood what she was thinking, sneering in her heart.

In the past, every time she came to Yichun Pavilion, she would bring some gifts, either exquisite and beautiful jewelry, or new materials, or some small gadgets that girls like.

She would never do such a stupid thing again.

On the contrary...

Shen Qionghua's gaze fell on the ruby ​​hairpin in her bun, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes.

Shen Qionghua sat on the stool, smiled, and said straight to the point: "I came to see my cousin today because I have something I want to discuss with her."

"Just tell me what you have to say, cousin." Zhou Lingyi said.

"I wonder if my cousin has finished admiring the night-shining pearl she borrowed from me a few days ago? Can you return it to me?" Shen Qionghua said with a smile.

As she finished speaking, the smile on Zhou Lingyi's face gradually disappeared and became stiff bit by bit.

Zhou Lingyi clenched the handkerchief in his hand, his heart filled with anger and embarrassment.

When she asked for the night pearl, she had no intention of returning it.

In the past, Shen Qionghua never asked her to return anything she borrowed from him.

This is the first time.

It’s just a night pearl. Shen Qionghua already has so many, why can’t she take the initiative to give one to herself?

But no matter how reluctant she was, she couldn't bring herself to beg Shen Qionghua to give her the night pearl.

Zhou Lingyi was so angry that he cursed Shen Qionghua several times in his heart, but he looked apologetic and said, "Yier has a bad memory and forgot to send someone to send it back to my cousin. I didn't expect that my cousin would still remember it."

Shen Qionghua raised her eyebrows. Was he secretly saying that she was stingy?

"If it were something else, I would lend it to you, cousin, but these luminous pearls are birthday gifts my father gave me over the years. They are of extraordinary significance, so I am particularly concerned about them. Cousin, please don't think too much." Shen Qionghua explained, as if she was afraid that she would think too much.

"How could that be? It was me who borrowed something from my cousin and forgot to return it. It's what I should do." Zhou Lingyi said sympathetically, with a faint smile on his face, as if he really didn't mind at all.

As she said that, she asked Caiwei to get the night pearl from the makeup box.

Seeing Shaoyao put the night pearl into her purse, the smile on Shen Qionghua's face grew even bigger.

She slowly opened her mouth and said, "I didn't know my cousin was such a reasonable person. This makes me feel relieved. My cousin borrowed a lot of things from me before, but I guess you were busy and forgot to return them. Why don't I take them back this time?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Lingyi could no longer maintain the fake smile on his face.

Those were things she had worked so hard to get, they were all hers, and she had borrowed them for such a long time. Why did Shen Qionghua want to take them back with just one sentence?

She already has so much stuff, what's wrong with giving herself some?

Seeing that Zhou Lingyi didn't respond, Shen Qionghua knew that she was reluctant to let him go.

Some people borrow things over and over again and then think they are really theirs.

She looked a little confused and asked, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Zhou Lingyi pinched his palms tightly and smiled, "Of course it's no problem. It's just that it's been a while, and Yi'er can't quite remember what she borrowed from her cousin."

Shen Qionghua gave her a reassuring look and said, "Don't worry about that. Shaoyao has the habit of keeping accounts. She knows exactly where the things in my room have gone."

Upon hearing this, Shaoyao immediately stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, Second Miss. I remember exactly what you borrowed."

"In that case, Caiwei, follow Shaoyao and find the thing out." Zhou Lingyi said with a gritted teeth in his tone.

Shaoyao and Caiwei went to the inner room together.

Shen Qionghua was in a good mood at the thought of a large amount of goods about to be put into storage, but when she saw Zhou Lingyi's unhappy expression, she felt like adding fuel to the fire.

She looked at the ruby ​​hairpin on Zhou Lingyi's head and said, "Cousin, is this hairpin new? It's really exquisite and beautiful."

Hearing her praising the hairpin, Zhou Lingyi reached out and touched his head, humming softly, feeling a little proud.

So what if the Shen family is rich? His Highness only has herself in his heart. When His Highness ascends the throne using the Shen family's money, she will be the most noble woman in the world.

But she didn't feel happy for long before she heard Shen Qionghua say, "It just looks familiar."

look familiar?

Zhou Lingyi frowned slightly.

How is that possible? This is a gift specially prepared for her by His Highness.

The jewelry in the Treasure Pavilion are all unique in style and made by experienced craftsmen. This is why they are so expensive, but the noble ladies in the capital are flocking to them. Who doesn't want their things to be unique?

Shen Qionghua seemed to be thinking, and suddenly said, "I remember, this hairpin is somewhat similar to the apology gift that His Royal Highness Prince An wanted to give me."

When Zhou Lingyi heard the name Prince An, her expression suddenly changed. She said with some difficulty, "Cousin, you may have seen it wrong. I picked this hairpin myself in the shop. How could it be similar to the hairpin that His Highness gave you?"

Shen Qionghua nodded and said, "Maybe I remembered it wrongly. Yesterday, His Royal Highness Prince An wanted to give me a hairpin as an apology, but I refused. It was dark at the time, so I might have seen it wrongly."

One sentence shattered the last bit of hope in Zhou Lingyi's heart.

When she left the table and found His Highness yesterday, she only saw Shen Qionghua's departing back and had no idea what they talked about.

So, Your Highness gave Shen Qionghua the hairpin that she didn't want?

How could His Highness treat her like this?!

Just when Zhou Lingyi was feeling sad, Shaoyao and Caiwei came out, both holding a lot of things in their hands.

Licorice stepped forward and took the thing from Caiwei's hand.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Shen Qionghua said goodbye and left.

Zhou Lingyi sat there in a daze, not moving, until she had been gone for a long time.

Caiwei thought that Shen Qionghua had taken those things and was unhappy, so she stepped forward and said, "Miss, you——"

Before he could finish his words, Zhou Lingyi slapped him hard.

"Bitch——"

She pulled out the ruby ​​hairpin from her head and threw it on the ground, tears streaming down her face.

How could His Highness treat her like this!
