“Ji’er, a concealed weapon!”

Ji’er’s eyes narrowed and the sword in her hand swiped backward. The ‘concealed weapon’ was immediately smashed as the pieces flew everywhere.

She later stared at her older sister with a pair of cold eyes.

Yaoyao felt a little uneasy from being stared that way. She lowered her head to look at the smashed plate of snacks and later patted her chest.

“Why are you being so fierce? I was just joking around with you.” She pouted and took the opportunity to be the first to complain.

Ji’er put her sword away and walked toward her older sister.

“What are you here for?”

When Madam Chang saw that she had stopped practicing, she quickly came forward with a towel and helped Ji’er wipe away her sweat.

Yaoyao sat on a chair that was placed at the side. Her chin leaned on her little hand as she sighed. She said unhappily, “You’re my little sister. Can’t I visit you when I’m free?”

Ji’er darted a look at her. She knew her older sister well and did not comment when she heard Yaoyao’s words.

“Have some water.” Madam Chang brought over some warm water for her at the right time.

Ji’er thanked her and took the water.

As she looked at her younger sister drinking the water, Yaoyao said with slightly less enthusiasm, “I’ve heard from Royal Brother that Lil Qi will be back today. I don’t believe you haven’t heard about it.”

“So, what if I do?” Ji’er asked in return coldly.

Yaoyao choked and said with a small smile, “Nothing. It’s just that I’ve heard Southern Xinjiang has gifted Princess Man Li, who is known as the greatest beauty in Southern Xinjiang, to Great Shang as a token of sincerity to us. By the way, she’s coming back here with Lil Qi. What do you think Southern Xinjiang is trying to do? Are they trying to entice Lil Qi with a beauty?”

Madam Chang felt a little helpless when she heard this.

Princess Yaoyao has always been mischievous and she enjoyed teasing Princess Ji’er with Lil Qi all the time.

Unfortunately, Lil Qi had always been a pressure point for Ji’er.

As expected, Ji’er frowned and showed her unhappiness after hearing Yaoyao’s words.

“Lil Qi succeeded in taking down Southern Xinjiang and has been gone for a year. Father has specially prepared a banquet in the Palace to welcome him home. The banquet will be held at Jade Dew Hall. Will you be going, Ji’er?” Yaoyao looked at her with blinking eyes.

Lil Qi has been gone for a year and he had never even written a letter to Ji’er during this time. Ji’er had long been angry about this.

Now that Lil Qi is back, Ji’er’s anger was about to erupt.

“I’m not going!” Ji’er said coldly as she grabbed her sword and returned to her room.

Madam Chang said in slight exasperation to Yaoyao, “Second Princess, you should stop making fun of Third Princess. She has been feeling upset lately.”

Yaoyao sighed. “I wasn’t doing it on purpose. I was just feeling sad for her. She has gotten moodier and moodier in the past year. I’m just afraid she would end up hurting herself.” That was why Yaoyao kept coming up with ideas to make Ji’er lose her temper and stop keeping everything inside.

As they were speaking in the courtyard, a big, tall figure suddenly appeared in front of them.

Yaoyao was stunned as she turned to look. It was Chu Qi walking in, looking quite worn out.

He did not even have time to take off his armor. His handsome face was as cold as it had always been and served as a warning for others to stay away.

Yaoyao blinked and suddenly shouted, “Big Bro Lil Qi…”

Chu Qi looked at the little girl running toward him and he reached out in reflex to carry her up in his arms.

Ji’er had just placed her sword down in the room when she heard Yaoyao’s excited shout.

She was taken aback and when she pulled herself together, she lifted her dress slightly and rushed out running.

Her face turned dark at the sight of Lil Qi carrying Yaoyao up. She looked like she was about to lose her temper.

She walked down the steps and headed quickly toward them. “Come down right now, Long Yinyao!”
