Chapter 288: Has the Princess had any abnormalities lately?
By June, the temperature in the capital city had started to become sweltering.
Qi Yu was now reluctant to even step outside, spending her days in the coolest corner of the Prince Residence, waving a fan while flipping through storybooks.
In recent days, she had Shen Xiheng collect all the popular storybooks from the market.
Initially, Shen Xiheng was somewhat reluctant, stating righteously, "Why don’t you just have Chunlan buy a few from the bookstore?"
As he spoke, Mr. Shen was holding the fan Shi Zhou had given him, gently waving it not so much to disperse the hot air, but seemingly just to show off.
Seeing his goofy demeanor, Qi Yu couldn’t bear to look and simply averted her gaze, speaking to Shi Zhou, who was sitting nearby and not expressing any opinion, "When getting married, one shouldn’t marry someone stingy like him."
Shi Zhou chuckled and shook her head. These two always started taunting each other at the slightest disagreement, with neither willing to give in.
She was used to it by now.
Thus, she didn’t think much of Qi Yu’s comment.
But Shen Xiheng couldn’t let it go. He snapped his fan shut with a "snap—" no longer displaying it like a peacock’s tail, but standing like a belligerent rooster, pointing at Qi Yu and demanding, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who is being stingy?"
