Sheng Li and Lei Wanxi stopped near the Eastern Pavilion. Sheng Li left his grip on Lei Wanxi's arm and looked around. "Brother, why did you do that? Why did you hit your younger brother? This is wrong. I will complain about this to Sister Lili," Lei Wanxi whined. Sheng Li flicked at his forehead, resulting in a low scream from Lei Wanxi's mouth.
"Do not whine," Sheng Li sternly said. "Don't speak about that painting to Brother Nianzu or any other. Now, go to your chamber and rest as you have an upset stomach," Sheng Li pronounced. Lei Wanxi squinted his eyes, trying to understand why his Fifth Brother said this. Before he could ask him, Sheng Li left his sight.
He arrived at Nianzu's chamber, where he was reading a book. Seeing the Crown Prince, he closed the book and told him to take a seat. Sheng Li sat around the table on the floor mattress. Nianzu asked the Crown Prince for tea, but he refused.
