After ordering them to place the brocade on the table, Cai Yuan smiled and said, "Please choose slowly, Princess. Prince said that as long as you like it, you can choose to stay."

Shen Xijun was overjoyed when she heard the words from the mouth of Cai Yuan. She reached out her hand to caress the layers of brocade and said with a smile, "This is probably not good. No matter what, we should at least give some to the concubine. What do you think, Manager Cai?"

Cai Yuan was well aware of their internal strife. Naturally, he wouldn't take up this challenge. He only smiled and said, "Royal Concubine, you can make the decision."

This old fox! Shen Xijun said in her heart as she smiled and said, "Alright, you can all stay here. I will send someone to invite the ping fei to come and choose."

"Then I'll have to trouble wangfei." After Cai Yuan left, Shen Xijun raised her head and said, "Ah Zi, go and invite the imperial concubine over."

"Zong Ji, do you really plan on letting her come over to pick?" Ah Zi asked in surprise. She thought that Shen Xijun was just speaking carelessly, but she didn't think that it was actually true.

"Why not?" He stroked a brocade satin with golden armor and said coldly, "These are all top grade brocades offered to the palace by the various weavers. Apart from the concubines in the palace, only the princes of each prefecture can receive some of them. She, Zhao Pingqing, has never worn them in her entire life." After a pause, she urged, "Go quickly."

"Yes." Just as A Zi was about to leave, a maid came in and said, "Princess, Madam Ping wishes to seek an audience with you."

Shen Xijun was startled. Then, a cold smile appeared on her face, "She's got legs. She came herself. Let her in."

Not long after the maid left, Zhao Pingqing came in with her hand on the woman's arm. She looked humble and submissive as usual. "Pingqing pays her respects to sister."

After gesturing for her to get up, Shen Xijun faintly smiled and said, "It can't be that you've heard that Princess Xuanji is with me today and want to play chess with her, right?"

"Big sister must be joking." Zhao Pingqing took out a handkerchief embroidered with two lotus flowers and handed it over to his sister. "Pingqing has embroidered a piece for you. I am here to give it to you."

Shen Xijun swept a glance at the delicate and exquisite handkerchief in her hands, but did not accept it. She raised her eyebrows and said, "It is said that there is no need to be courteous. Is it adultery or robbery? "

Zhao Pingqing smiled as usual at her taunts. "You are the elder sister of Pingqing. As her younger sister, it is only natural for you to treat him well." With that, she passed it forward, "Last night, little sister thought for a long time and felt that this twin lotus flowers were the most suitable for big sister. Therefore, little sister decided to weave it overnight to give to big sister."

Shen Xijun stared at her for a long time before suddenly smiling sweetly, "In that case, thank you, little sister." After gesturing for Ah Zi to take it, she pointed to the dazzling pile of brocade on the table. "This was just delivered by Manager Cai, I had originally planned to have Ah Zi invite the even consort over to pick it out, but who would've thought that you would just happen to come over. Quickly, take a look which ones you like and use them to make some new clothes."

"When we were married, mother gave us two big boxes of material. It's enough to make clothes for several years. I should keep the material."

"I don't need that much for myself. Besides, you are Prince Rui's concubine now, how can those ordinary materials match your status? Choose quickly." As she spoke, Shen Xijun took her hand and brought her to the table. Then, she took a piece of material that was embroidered with a ball of peach buns and compared it to her body, "This one looks pretty good."

Zhao Pingqing couldn't refuse. She had to choose five or six. "Thank you, sister. That will be enough."

"It's good that it's enough!" She then walked to the long window and picked up the scissors that were originally used to prune the flowers. Before the crowd could understand what she meant, the scissors had already forcefully cut a few pieces of brocade, and each of them had a huge hole cut out in them.

Zhao Pingqing didn't expect her to do such a thing. She said, "Sister, what are you doing?"

"For what?" Shen Xijun slowly walked in front of her with a pair of scissors in her hand that had ruined a few pieces of expensive brocade. Afraid that she would harm Zhao Pingqing, Du Wanwu hurriedly blocked her, and said in a panic, "You … Don't act recklessly! "

Shen Xijun's gaze swept across her face and she casually said, "What, are you afraid that I'll hurt your master?"

The cuckoo's face was pale as sheet as she said, "If you dare to mess around, His Highness will …" He will definitely not let you off! "

"Is that so?" Shen Xijun raised her hand and caressed sher delicate and white cheeks. With a smile that was like flowers, he said, "Why don't we try it, we'll just … "You can begin."

"The cuckoo doesn't understand, please calm your anger, sister." Zhao Pingqing pulled over the stiff cuckoo and asked carefully, "But what did I do wrong? Did I make you unhappy?" She had been staring at the scissors in Shen Xijun's hand from the corner of her eyes. If anything went wrong, she could immediately avoid it.

Shen Xijun coldly snorted and said, "As long as I can see that fake face of yours, I won't be able to be happy no matter what."

Zhao Pingqing sighed. "I have explained it to my sister countless times. I …"

"Enough!" Shen Xijun coldly cut her off, "I don't want to waste my time listening to your lies. Today, I am only giving you a small lesson to remember your identity. Hmph, those fox like tricks of yours could enchant the prince for a while, but it's impossible to confuse him for an entire life. From the beginning, I am the prince's only direct wife, and you … "It's just a concubine, a concubine. No matter how you try, you will never be able to surpass her!"

Zhao Pingqing bit her lips and spoke with red eyes, "Pingqing has never forgotten her identity. She has never …"

"If you really do remember, you wouldn't pester Your Highness and embarrass me time and time again; you wouldn't even trespass into the East Branch and take Mu Qianxue away." After calming down her anger a little, she said coldly, "Zhao Pingqing, I remember everything you have done, including how you married into the Prince Rui's Palace. You should rest in the west yard peacefully.

"Pingqing will take her leave." Zhao Pingqing bent her knees in tears. When she was about to leave with the cuckoo, Shen Xijun took the brocade handkerchief from Ah Zi's hand and threw it in Zhao Pingqing's face. She said coldly, "Take this and those brocades away. Don't say I mistreated you."

"Thank you, wangfei." After ordering the cuckoo to pick up the broken brocade, Zhao Pingqing left quickly. When the master and servants disappeared, Alan asked worriedly, "Zong Ji, aren't you afraid that she will complain to the king?"

"Your highness is busy with the matters of the war right now, how could I have the time to see her? Let's talk about it again …" Shen Xijun's red lips slightly curled up as she sized up the scissors in her hand and said, "She can complain, but can't we?"
