I have to say that Bai Ze looks very good. His whole body is snow-white, with black tiger stripes occasionally visible on his back. His hair is very long and smooth.

Seeing Bai Ze trying to please her, Shen Mi reached out and rubbed Bai Ze's head and ears before going to bed.

She slept particularly soundly that night.

When she woke up the next day, Shen Mi propped herself up from the bed, rubbed her eyes, and did not see Bai Ze in the room.

I think this guy left as soon as the sun rose.

Shen Shu had been punished at her coming-of-age ceremony and beaten half to death, but now she was gradually getting better.

At this moment, the sunlight came in through the window and fell on her.

In bed, the maid brought food and fed her the best bird's nest.

"Miss, the master still cares about you. He has had bird's nests delivered to you every day these days."

Shen Shu sat on the bed, looking at the bird's nest in front of her with gritted teeth, then she stretched out her hand and pushed it hard, and the fine bird's nest fell to the ground, with sand scattered all over the floor.

"He is just pretending to be kind. I think he just can't forget the dead Jiang."

"My mother has been married to him for more than ten years, and now he treats her like this."

The maid Tianshuang took a deep breath, cleaned up the bird's nest that had fallen on the ground, and wiped her body with ointment.

Tianshuang has a very good heart and is very emotionally stable. She just advised her calmly.

"Miss, if you want to enter the East Palace, you must take good care of yourself, otherwise the position of Crown Princess will fall on the head of the Second Miss."

Shen Shu said coldly: "She is worthy... Bah! Little bitch!"

"Even if the prince marries her, it doesn't matter. He won't treat her sincerely."

Her eyes were filled with hatred, and they were bloodshot: "Tianshuang, do you think Shen Mi is a bit weird? Ever since she came back, things between me and my mother have failed again and again."

"My mother was driven directly to the side yard and couldn't turn over."

"Do you think she is possessed by something evil?"

The more Shen Shu thought about it, the more frightened she became. Thinking of Lin's miserable condition in the side courtyard, her eyes became blurred with tears.

Tianshuang took a handkerchief to wipe her face, but he didn't dare to use too much force for fear of touching something on her face.

"Miss, please stop crying."

"You've cried too much. I'm afraid that the birthmark on your face won't be covered even with medicine. If the Crown Prince finds out, I'm afraid..."

Tian Shuang's words stopped abruptly and he looked up at Shen Shu.

Shen Shu pulled out a handkerchief and wiped her face.

She walked to the dressing table, looked at the stunning face in the mirror, and slowly sat down on the chair.

Although the potion could cover the purple birthmark on her face, she didn't dare to rub her face too hard.

She picked up the rouge and powder on the table and started painting.

Who would have thought that this woman who covered up the purple birthmarks on her face would be one of the four most talented women in Yanjing City.

Putting down the paintbrush, Shen Shu looked at Tian Shuang and said, "Go out and bring in some more bird's nest."

"Daddy hasn't come to see me once. I won't go to see the prince today. I'll go another day."

"No matter what, I can't let the prince find any clues."

"The Crown Princess of the Great Yan Dynasty is mine."

"Shen Mi, do you dare to ask her out? The prince likes me, not her. Do you think that if you please the queen, the prince will like her?"

Tianshuang heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Shen Shu had figured it out.

"Miss, I will go and prepare some bird's nest for you, and also bring you some letters from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Shen Shu nodded in satisfaction. Her eyes suddenly turned cold. She picked up the hairpin on the table and stabbed it hard. A deep mark immediately appeared on the dressing table.

She gnashed her teeth and said, "Shen Mi, if you dare to compete with me for the crown prince, I will make sure you die a miserable death."

Shen Mi sat beside the chessboard in Lan Yue Courtyard, looking at the chess pieces in his hand and thinking about entering the palace.

Unexpectedly, I sneezed for no apparent reason.

Qing He came in from outside with the best bird's nest in his hand. "Miss, please drink this bowl of bird's nest."

"Since the Third Miss was punished, two or three bowls of bird's nest from the yard are sent to her every day. The Master still loves the Third Miss more after all."

"After all, Miss Third has been with him for so many years. Miss has just returned from Yishui, so she should get closer to the master."

"You are also the legitimate daughter of the Shen family."

Shen Mi looked at the bird's nest in the bowl and smiled: "Qinghe, there are many ways to prove your worth, and competing for favor is the most unpresentable way."

"I don't want to compete with her for favor. I think my father will soon see through her true colors."

After all, she would try to expose Shen Shu's innocence.

She said calmly: "There is no need for us to be jealous because of this matter."

Shen Mi put down the chess piece in his hand, took the bird's nest from Qinghe's hand, and drank it with a spoon.

"Qinghe, play a game of chess with me."

Qinghe nodded obediently, slowly sat down opposite Shen Mi, and started playing chess with a chess piece in her hand.

After the master and servant played two games of chess, the sound of quick footsteps could be heard from outside.

"Miss." Yun Lan hurried in from outside, with tiny beads of sweat on her forehead.

"Miss, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi has arrived at the front hall with the imperial edict and betrothal gifts."

“What, so fast?”

Shen Mi dropped the chess piece in his hand and stood up from the chair.

"Yunlan, did you get any results from the things I arranged for you yesterday?"

Yun Lan nodded, "According to the young lady's instructions, I have finished embroidering the things and brought them back."

Shen Mi looked calm and said, "Okay, just do as I say when the time comes."

"Yes, miss."

She tidied her clothes and went to the front hall with Qinghe, Yunlan and others.

In the front hall, Marquis Pingyang sat on a chair with a sullen face and clenched fists.

The King of Qi looked at the people in the hall with a smug look on his face, and finally his gaze fell on Shen Li, whose eyes were red.

He sneered and said, "Marquis Pingyang, I also sincerely like Li'er and want to marry her, so I asked my father to issue an order."

"Don't worry, after marrying Li'er, I will treat her well. The concubines in the mansion will be gentle and polite, and will not compete with her for favor."

"Since my father has issued the decree, I came here today to finalize this marriage."

Marquis Pingyang sat on the chair with a gloomy face and looked at the King of Qi.

"Your Highness, it's not that I don't want to marry Li'er to you, but Li'er is weak and your highness is of noble status. Our Li'er is not worthy of you."

"Don't worry, I will explain everything to His Majesty."

The King of Qi's eyes suddenly darkened, his voice became cold, and he glared at the Marquis of Pingyang fiercely.

"Marquis Pingyang, what do you mean by this? Are you going to disobey my order?"

"This is an order from our father himself. Everyone in the Shen family should kneel down and receive it!"

Marquis Pingyang gritted his teeth, planning to receive the imperial edict first and then discuss the cancellation of the engagement with His Majesty.

As soon as he stood up, Shen Mi came in from outside.

The moment King Qi saw Shen Mi, he smiled smugly.
