Chapter 985: Palm Reading

In the greenhouse, the four of them sat around a round table. The food in front of them had been sent over from Kunning Palace. It looked and smelled great.

Little Jiajia buried her head in her food and glanced up at the young man opposite her from time to time.

The young man had a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes and gentle facial features. His white clothes added to his gentle temperament. It was different from Song Jingchen’s noble temperament. The young man was not aggressive. One would have a good impression of him just by looking at him.

This young man was none other than the Second Prince, Shangguan Yu, who was placed under the empress’s name.

“Princess, is there something wrong with my face?” Shangguan Yu put down his chopsticks and looked over with a smile.

He was good-looking to begin with, and his smile was like a spring breeze.

Little Jiajia was not embarrassed at all. She swallowed the food in her mouth and shook her head seriously. “Nothing wrong. I just think you’re quite good-looking.”

Song Jingchen paused.

Shangguan Yu was a little embarrassed by the praise. The tips of his ears turned red. “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome. I’m telling the truth,” Little Jiajia said in a matter-of-fact tone.

This should be the third time she had seen Shangguan Yu. The first time was when she first came to Great Xia, and the second time was at the palace banquet. However, her thoughts were focused on Song Jingchen the first two times and she didn’t notice anyone else.

Shangguan Han, who was working hard, looked up and smiled. “Then look at me, Princess. Am I quite good-looking?”

His second brother and cousin had both been praised by the princess. How could he be the only one left? He was not bad either.

Song Jingchen said in a low voice, “Don’t talk when you’re eating or sleeping. Eat well!”

Little Jiajia immediately agreed. “Yes, eat well.” She stopped looking around.

Shangguan Han was speechless.

Shangguan Yu was speechless.

For a moment, no one spoke in the greenhouse. Only the occasional sound of dishes colliding could be heard.

After dinner, Shangguan Yu got someone to set up the chess game that started the day before the break. He smiled and said, “If we don’t finish it today, I’m afraid I’ll have insomnia again tonight.”Please visit fr𝐞𝐞wn.𝒸o𝔪 website to read fastest update

Song Jingchen originally wanted to send Little Jiajia back to Huilan Court first. When he turned around and saw her sitting down on a stool, looking like she wanted to watch the game, he felt an inexplicable desire to win. Shangguan Yu smiled. “I remember that it’s your turn.”

Song Jingchen pursed his lips and reached out to place a piece on the chessboard.

Little Jiajia didn’t move. She tilted her head and asked him, “You’ll believe me, right?”

Song Jingchen knew that she was referring to what had happened just now. Ah Yu didn’t say anything, but Ah Han was so angry that he almost cried. He said that she was spouting nonsense.

Meeting the little girl’s hopeful gaze, Song Jingchen nodded. “Yes.”

Little Jiajia instantly smiled. “I knew it.”

There was only one zither lesson in the afternoon. Fortunately, Little Jiajia had slept well in the morning. She was not sleepy even if she did not rest at noon. Otherwise, she would have smashed someone’s zither when the room was filled with demonic sounds.

Coupled with the fact that she was in a good mood, not only did she not feel frustrated, but she also joined the demonic sound camp. Her fingers flew around, playing the zither until it clanged. It even drowned out the sound of the others’ zithers.

“Clang, clang, clang, clang-

Everyone was angry but did not dare to say anything.

The day’s classes finally ended. Little Jiajia ignored the resentful gazes of the young ladies and happily left the classroom with the green-faced Xiao Ruoshui.

She was the closest to Little Jiajia and had suffered the most from the demonic sound. After this incident, she did not cut ties with Little Jiajia. It was all her fault for being too kind.

Little Jiajia didn’t know how touched she was. After leaving the palace, Xiao

Ruoshui got into her carriage and left first. Song Jingchen didn’t appear either.

“Princess, are you waiting for Heir Song?”

Little Jiajia turned around. She had seen the person before. He seemed to be the fourth son of the emperor of Great Xia.

“Fourth Prince?”

The young man smiled. “My name is Shangguan Yao. I’m a year younger than you. You can call me Ah Yao directly.”

“Oh.” Little Jiajia’s expression was cold.

Shangguan Yao was a little angry. He thought of something and endured it. He continued, “Princess, you’re waiting for Heir Song, right? My father is taking a look at fifth brother’s homework in Mingde Court and called Heir Song over. He might not be able to come out so soon.”

“Why don’t I send you back first?”

Little Jiajia found it strange. This person was even younger than her, but he said that he would send her back? Was he going to send her back later?

“No need. I’ll wait for him in the carriage.”

The carriage from the Bulwark Duke’s residence had already arrived. However, she did not get into the carriage because she wanted to see her young husband first.

Shangguan Yao was not a good-tempered person to begin with. Seeing that Little Jiajia did not humor him, he threw the Eldest Prince’s words to the back of his mind and left angrily.

Little Jiajia snorted. “You’re unaccountably solicitous. You must be up to something..”
