Transmigrated as the Villainess, Troubled by the Cuteness!-Chapter 237 - 179: Unlike Those Who Only Care for the Princess

Shen Jingxian began the painful life of learning to play the zither.

When the teacher played, she listened obediently, but when it was her turn, it was nothing but pain.

Although the teacher always said that the piece was very difficult and only a few people in the world could perform it perfectly, and she should relax and play casually, it was not something Shen Jingxian could play casually.

It took her almost a whole day just to memorize a small part, and if she had to memorize the whole piece by heart, Shen Jingxian roughly calculated that it would take about two months. It was really hard.

As a result, Shen Jingxian ate two more bowls of rice every day.

And what Shen Jingxian didn’t expect at all was that the Second Prince actually came to find her!!

To be honest, when she was little, because of the original text, she was somewhat afraid of the Second Prince and didn’t dare to get close to him. Later, at the Imperial College, the Second Prince was hostile to her, which made her even more distant.

Moreover, since she woke up until now, she hadn’t seen the Eldest Prince and the Second Prince around her at all. Why did they appear just when she was coming of age?

Wait a moment, coming of age for a woman means getting married. In this era, a woman marrying means entrusting her future life. Is the Second Prince appearing at this time to introduce a man to her...?

Especially when Shen Jingxian saw the Second Prince’s face showing a kindly smile that was completely different from before, her heart jumped to her throat.

Second Brother, I’ll call you Second Brother for now, but please don’t do anything silly. If you try to plot against me, you’ll be punished severely by Father and Mother. You still have a beautiful future ahead, don’t think irrationally!

Seeing Shen Jingxian’s wary expression, the Second Prince’s steps paused slightly.

Ultimately, he didn’t get too close to Shen Jingxian, standing about a meter away, and said, "As your brother, I know you’re practicing the zither, so I brought you one. Whether you use it or not is up to you."

The Second Prince waved his hand, and the servant behind him brought forward a brownish-black ancient zither. It looked very simple, yet somehow had an elegant charm.

Shen Jingxian couldn’t appraise zithers, but she felt that this one before her was extraordinary, like a peerless beauty whose radiance couldn’t be overshadowed by ordinary clothes.

However... was she on such gift-giving terms with the Second Prince?

It seemed unlikely that the Second Prince would be so brazenly plotting against her, but if it was to curry favor, there also wasn’t much necessity.

It seemed too fake.

Shen Jingxian couldn’t figure out the Second Prince’s intentions for the moment, so she temporarily accepted the zither and put it aside.

The Second Prince seemed like he wanted to say more to Shen Jingxian, but in the end, he only said, "You should practice the zither well. The coming-of-age ceremony is very important."

Shen Jingxian nodded, "Thank you, Second Prince."

No matter what the Second Prince’s intentions were, at least this sentence wasn’t ill-intentioned, so Shen Jingxian courteously replied.

Unexpectedly, the Second Prince seemed quite pleased upon hearing her somewhat insincere thanks?

Shen Jingxian: ?

Indeed, a man’s heart is as inscrutable as a needle at the bottom of the ocean.

Speaking of which, once upon a time... Dark... Dark whatever, anyway, there was a Hidden Guard whom she had assigned to the Second Prince’s side. She called for him at night to ask what was going on.

The lady teacher who was instructing Shen Jingxian on the zither hadn’t spoken earlier, but seeing the Second Prince leave, she sighed and said, "The Second Prince and Her Highness have such a good relationship."

Shen Jingxian: ...

Not knowing what to say, let’s perform the art of a beautiful woman in silence for everyone.

An afternoon that seemed a bit useless passed by. Shen Jingxian felt that not only hadn’t her zither skills improved, but she had even regressed a bit from being startled by the Second Prince.

In the evening, Shen Jingxian asked the Maid Team to find the Hidden Guards who used to serve around her.

There was no other way. Ever since Mother assigned her new Hidden Guards (maids), the previous Hidden Guards seemed to have disappeared. She used to just call out for them, and they would appear, but now they wouldn’t come no matter how much she shouted.

Shen Jingxian only asked the Maid Team to contact the Hidden Guards as a try, and unexpectedly they were able to get in touch.

So Shen Jingxian asked them to call Dark One to Dark Twenty-Fifth over.

It wasn’t that Shen Jingxian sincerely wanted to summon so many people; it was just that she couldn’t remember who exactly she had assigned to stay beside the Second Prince, so she could only call them all over to ask.

As it turned out, she hadn’t even opened her mouth before she was shocked by the expressions of these Hidden Guards.

It’s true, believe it or not, each of these Hidden Guards could terrify the Court. They were the eyes and knives of the King! Who wouldn’t be afraid!
