Talents

I didn't have anything to do. I was bored. Chunhua suggested that I embroider.

No way.

Even though I regained most of the memories of this body, and know that this lady was good at some things, but she majorly sucked at embroidery.

Anyway, she had skilled seamstresses at her disposal, so she never felt the need to learn something more complicated.

After all, embroidery wasn't a skill noble ladies competed at. So it wasn't really something Li Suyin considered important to learn.

It doesn't mean that she wasn't good at artsy stuff.

She was great at qin and flute, after all, her mother was a songstress. And she was very talented at qin, so it wasn't weird that Li Suyin inherited her ability.

She also liked to play chess, even though she only learned that to please Wen Rong.

But she was good enough that sometimes her brother would let her play with him.

Usually when Wen Rong was busy with other stuff.

Which if I can remember wasn't really a compliment because both Li Shan and Wen Rong sucked at chess.

So... Li Suyin was actually good at chess, but pretended to be bad only to please her brother.

Why?

Because she not only had a bad taste in men, she was also a major bro con.

She was crazy about her brother.

Like, really crazy.

Li Suyin grew up spoiled and selfish, but she always had one enemy.

Li Huiying.

Her older half sister.

When she was seven years old and Huiying was nine years old, she was pushed in a small lotus pond and almost drowned.

Huiying escaped, and there was no one there.

Li Suyin almost drowned.

Fortunately, Li Shan passed by and saved her.

So, Li Suyin thought of him as her savior.

She literally worshiped him.

She would do anything for him.

Actually in the end, her brother was one who managed to hoodwink Li Suyin into entering the palace against her will.

I don't know how could she be so naive about some things.

She endured her mother's pleading and father's cajoling, but one word from Li Shan, and she packed her stuff immediately.

Well, she still sulked all the way to the palace, so she wasn't that stupid.

Anyway, she was somewhat good at chess. Her poetry skill was so so.

But she was good at calligraphy and painting.

Alas, I didn't have any will momentarily to do anything from my range of abilities.

I think I would rather die of boredom.

So I just ordered Chunhua to give me some books, which were collecting dust on a shelf.

Li Suyin didn't really read.

Oh, she wasn't illiterate, but she didn't find books interesting.

Albeit she brought them into the palace, which was weird.

But most of them were trashy romance novels.

Nevertheless, beggars can't be choosers.

I sat by the window and waited for the books, but before I got my books, I was invited by my aunt to come visit.

Wasn't her maid here not that long ago?

What's happening now?

I can't even have five minutes of normal rest.

Tch.

Who wants to trade places with me?

Answer quickly, or I will answer it for you~
