Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

Because of what happened outside the palace gate, Gong Zishang had been trembling and huddled beside Wen Xiao recently. She dared not move or say anything. She even stopped doing her favorite activity - lying on the wall of the guard camp to peek at the guards training half-naked.

Zhuo Yichen, Zhao Yuanzhou and the other demon took Li Lun out of the palace and found a spacious place to practice.

Gong Yuanzheng was bored and wandering around the palace gates. After all, Gong Ziyu was kneeling in the ancestral hall as punishment. After the punishment, he had to go back to the palace to copy the palace rules. He was busy all day and there was no trace of him. Gong Yuanzheng couldn't even find someone to quarrel with.

"Master Zheng!"

Gong Yuanzheng sat on the railing, with his arms folded, looking at the fat carp swimming in the pond. A strange voice, which seemed familiar, came into his ears from behind.

Gong Yuanzheng turned around and saw that it was his brother's attendant. "Why are you so idle? Why did you finish planting the land in Jiaogong? Are you planning to go out and find a suitable piece of land to plant flowers?"

Shangguan Qian was stunned. She didn't expect Gong Yuanzheng to be so disrespectful to her and say that she was a flower grower in front of the servants and maids coming and going in the palace gate.

"Master Zheng, after all, I am Master Jiao's fiancée. Isn't it inappropriate for you to say that?"

Shangguan Qian used the name of Gong Shangjiao to retort against Gong Yuanzheng.

"My brother has not acknowledged you as his wife-to-be. To put it nicely, you are his attendant, but to put it bluntly, you are a maid in the palace."

Gong Yuanzheng stood up and walked in front of Shangguan Qian, looking down at this delicate-looking woman.

"I advise you to stay in the Corner Palace and don't wander around outside. If you walk to that place, you might be mistaken for an assassin and killed by the secret guards at the palace gate."

Shangguan Qian looked at Gong Yuanzheng's pretty face, but uttered the most vicious words.

"I think Mr. Horn will save me, right?"

Shangguan Qian and Gong Shangjiao have been testing each other during this period. Although there has not been much progress, it has left a mark in Gong Shangjiao's heart.

"Really? Then I'll wait and see!"

Gong Yuanzheng didn't seem to care whether Gong Shangjiao would save her or not, because he had more than just this brother, and more than this person who loved him. He had already been surrounded by love.

Shangguan Qian looked at Gong Yuanzheng who bumped her shoulder and left. There was something wrong with Wufeng's information!!!

Shangguan Qian bit his fingernails nervously. What was going on? Didn't they say that Gong Yuanzheng valued Gong Shangjiao the most? How could he not be moved when hearing such words?

Shangguan Qian was unwilling to let go of this opportunity. After all, everyone in the martial arts world knew that Gong Shangjiao's biggest weakness was Gong Yuanzheng, a man who had never shown his face in front of outsiders but was well known to everyone in the martial arts world.

That night, when Gong Yuanzheng trotted to Jiaogong to have dinner with his brother, he saw Shangguan Qian sitting opposite his brother.

"elder brother!"

Gong Shangjiao looked up and saw his younger brother standing at the door, looking at him angrily, "The expedition is here, come over here, brother."

"Brother, come here!"

Gong Yuanzheng didn't want to go there by himself, he wanted his brother to come and take him there.

Gong Shangjiao has always been open to Gong Yuanzheng's little temper. He always likes his younger brother who says everything he says on his face. How could Gong Shangjiao not know what his younger brother is thinking?

Gong Shangjiao stood up and walked towards Gong Yuanzheng step by step. He gently took his brother's hand and pulled him to the dining table. "It's my fault for not going to Zhenggong to pick Yuanzheng up for dinner."

"Brother, how can you think of going on an expedition when you have a beautiful woman by your side?"

Shangguan Qian once again realized the position of Gong Yuanzheng in Gong Shangjiao's heart, and could not help but clench her fists, but still had to keep smiling.

"Why is she still here?"

Gong Yuanzheng was completely confused by Gong Shangjiao's words and had already forgiven his brother. When he turned around and saw that this tactless woman was still sitting there, his face drooped instantly.

"Master Zheng, I have prepared some food for Master Jiao." Shangguan Qian forced a somewhat stiff smile.

"Did you do all this?"

Gong Yuanzheng glanced at the dish that was different from usual, but the moment he lowered his head, he saw the fish's eyes, "Does this fish dislike you?"

Shangguan Qian was stunned for a moment and didn't understand what Gong Yuanzheng meant. "What?"

"Why else would this fish die with such resentment?"

Gong Shangjiao looked at his brother who was trying to make sense even when he was being unreasonable, and hid the smile on his face by drinking tea.

Shangguan Qian lowered her head and looked at the fish that Gong Yuanzheng mentioned. It was indeed staring at the three of them with its eyes wide open, but she still had to bite the bullet and explain, "Master Zheng, this is what the fish looks like when it's cooked."

"What are you talking about? I've never eaten a fish that was so stubborn before. Maybe it's because you don't like this fish, so it's so stubborn."

Gong Yuanzheng was not wrong in what he said. In the palace, he was the younger brother of Gong Shangjiao, the most powerful and richest man in the palace, so he could have whatever he wanted to eat. Outside, he was the younger brother of King Yi, who was equally respected and valued, so the people below him naturally would not serve such fish on the tables of those in higher positions.

"I……"

Shangguan Qian wanted to explain but was interrupted by Gong Yuanzheng crying to his brother.

"Brother! Is it because I have been accompanying my second brother all this time that you don't like me anymore?"

Gong Shangjiao looked at his brother's wet eyes, and the cunning that flashed across his eyes, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"How could my brother dislike you just because Yuanzheng accompanied your cousin? Yuanzheng will always be the most important person in my heart, even my younger brother Lang can't compare to him."

It was the first time that Gong Yuanzheng heard from Gong Shangjiao that his position was higher than his brother's younger brother. He saw his frowning brows relax slightly, revealing his inner relaxation or joy.

Gong Shangjiao personally served a bowl of soup to Gong Yuanzheng, "You came so late, are you too busy with the clinic? I know Yuanzheng will forget to eat when he is busy, he must be starving now!"

Shangguan Qian sat there with her head down as if she was sad about what Gong Yuanzheng had just said, but in fact, the corners of her eyes were slightly raised, revealing a smug smile. She got a piece of news that even Wufeng had not found out, that Gong Yuanzheng had a cousin, and he was currently in the palace, and it sounded like he was an extremely powerful person.

Shangguan Qian thought about this and didn't care about Gong Yuanzheng's childish words. She sorted out her emotions the moment she looked up, but she still felt a little melancholy. The corners of her mouth drooped slightly, revealing a hint of loss.

When Gong Shangjiao was coaxing his brother to eat well, he also glanced at Shangguan Qian and naturally noticed her changes. "Miss Shangguan, the most important thing for a girl is to pay attention to cleanliness. Not only the face should be clean, but also the hands, feet and soul."

Shangguan Qian's smile froze on her face. She looked at Gong Shangjiao's half-smile and said with a stammer, "Master Jiao, did Qianqian do something wrong? How could you make Master Jiao say such cruel words?"

Gong Yuanzheng, who was eating, also raised his head and swallowed the food in his mouth. "Don't you know where my hidden weapon bag is that day?" Gong Yuanzheng snorted coldly and kicked his brother under the table. "It's all my brother's fault. If my brother hadn't insisted that I pick her up, I wouldn't have lost the hidden weapon bag."

Gong Shangjiao patted the place where Gong Yuanzheng kicked him twice, "Okay, okay, it's all my brother's fault! Later, I'll have someone find some ore so that Miss can rebuild it for you."

"The remade ones are not the ones Grandpa Jiang made for me!" The hidden weapon pouch that Gong Yuanzheng carried on his body was tailor-made for him by Jiang Lanming when he was in Tiandu. But now Jiang Lanming has passed away, and that hidden weapon pouch can be regarded as one of Jiang Lanming's posthumous works.

After hearing the name Grandpa Jiang, Gong Shangjiao couldn't help but fall silent. He sighed and touched Gong Yuanzheng's braid with a little bell tied to it, "Then I'll have someone look for it for you. I'll definitely find it for Yuanzheng."

Shangguan Qian was terrified during the meal. After all, the hidden weapon bag was still in her room. Because she was not trusted by Gong Shangjiao before, she was always under surveillance and had no chance to leave the palace. Even if she went out, someone would follow her.
