"No, Qianxue is quite pretty, but she knows nine things about piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting." She could only say this. People here use her appearance and her accomplishments in chess, calligraphy, and painting to measure a woman's ability.
"Haha, I don't believe it. You must be protecting Miss Qianjia because of the number one scholar." Although Ling Caiyi was smiling, she couldn't hide her disappointment in her heart. Every word of the number one scholar was to protect Miss Qianjia.
"It doesn't matter if you're not pretty, and it doesn't matter if you don't know how to play music, chess, calligraphy and painting. We don't rely on this to survive."
Ling Caiyi was startled, how could she become so jealous? Every word she said was unintentionally comparing herself to Miss Qianjia.
"What the number one scholar said makes sense, but Caiyi was rude." Ling Caiyi said in a low voice. She has an outstanding appearance and is good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting. So what? Does she have to rely on this to survive? How can you treat people with sex for a long time?

For a moment, the two of them were speechless, and unknowingly they walked under a peach tree. This season happened to be when the peaches were ripe. The crystal clear peaches were hanging on the tree, with a faint pink color, and they looked very much like Ling.
Caiyi’s little face.
Yi Shuihan glanced again and again. These peaches were so tempting. If it hadn't been for Ling Caiyi being here, she would have stolen a few.
"This peach tree was brought here by my mother-in-law when I was a hundred days old. She planted this peach tree herself. From then on, my mother-in-law would take me to pick peaches every year at this season. When I was a child, I looked forward to it every day.
In the summer, you can pick peaches, but since my mother-in-law passed away, I have never picked peaches again. I didn’t expect that this peach tree has grown so strong."
"Princess, if you don't pick this peach, it would be a waste to leave it on the tree." Yi Shuihan could hear the sadness in Ling Caiyi's words. It is not easy for a princess from a deep palace to lose her mother at a young age, and it is not easy to survive in the imperial power.
Ling Caiyi looked up at the peaches on the tree and said quietly: "This peach tree used to be very short and I could pick it with my hands, but now it has grown taller and I can no longer pick it."
"It's easy. If you can't pick it, you can move a stool, a ladder, or ask someone to pick it for you. You can always pick it with the help of some external force."
"Huh? But there's no one here?" Ling Caiyi looked around and saw that it was impossible for her to climb the ladder.
"Am I not a human being?" Yi Shuihan smiled, jumped slightly, grabbed the branches with both hands, and climbed up the tree in one fell swoop.
Ling Caiyi was startled: "Zhuang, Zhuangyuan, be careful."
"Catch it." Yi Shuihan picked a peach and threw it to Ling Caiyi.
"Ah, I can't catch it." Ling Caiyi was startled and screamed. She was so frightened that she backed away repeatedly. Taozi rolled to nowhere.
Yi Shuihan laughed twice. He was such a child who was not frightened. He was indeed a delicate princess.
"Zhuangyuan, you, what are you laughing at?" Ling Caiyi's face turned red and she looked charming.
"You look cute when you laugh."
"...Where." Ling Caiyi's face turned red with embarrassment, she lowered her head and whispered. Many people said she was beautiful, but no one said she was cute.
"Pick up the hat." Yi Shuihan took off his official hat and threw it to the ground. He no longer wanted to wear this old-fashioned hat.
"Huh? What are you doing?" Ling Caiyi picked up his hat in confusion, but the number one scholar looked handsome without wearing an official hat.
"Don't hold it like this, turn the hat over with the riser facing up." Yi Shuihan said.
"Is this so?" Ling Caiyi opened her almond-shaped eyes in confusion.[
"Yes, yes, that's it. Hold your hat and stand there without moving. Are you holding it steady?"
