At the beginning, the little koi carp was grabbed by a wolf and became the favorite of the beasts.

"Brother, did you misunderstand me? If the Sixth Princess wanted to cause trouble for you, why would she bother inviting us to Prince Gong's Mansion?"

Seeing that his elder brother was like a piece of dumb wood, Jinbao gave him some advice helplessly.

"That's right. Xiaowu and the second uncle are both officials in the court. If the Sixth Princess says a few words to them, they will beat you to a pulp." Yu Yan echoed.

Xiaoxiang suddenly woke up and realized that his thinking was wrong.

He looked at his sister a little embarrassedly and asked in a low voice: "Since the princess is not here to cause trouble, why did she come to Prince Gong's Mansion?"

As a princess, it would have been fine if she came to Prince Gong's Mansion by herself, but she also invited all of them. It would have been strange if he didn't misunderstand.

Seeing that he still hadn't come to his senses, Yu Yan shook her head with a hopeless expression and said sympathetically, "Xiao Xiang, you won't be able to find a wife like this. I really don't know what the princess sees in you."

As expected, his Xiaowu is the most considerate. When comparing the uncle and nephew, the difference is too obvious.

Xiaoxiang didn't care about the first half of the sentence, but the second half was like a thunderclap, which made him dizzy again.

The princess fell in love with him?

What a joke! Apart from the last time at the city gate, the two of them had no contact. How could the princess fall in love with him?

After coming to his senses, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck. He looked around vigilantly and frowned, "Aunt, this kind of thing can't be taken as a joke."

If you dare to make fun of the princess, even if you have ten heads, they will not be enough to chop off.

Jinbao was about to say something when he suddenly saw a figure slowly walking towards him from a distance.

Her eyes lit up and she subconsciously touched Youyou on her wrist. When she got a response, she immediately smiled.

"Brother, I'm a little thirsty. Auntie, come with me to drink some water. You wait here first, we'll be back soon."

After saying that, he pulled Yu Yan away.

"Jinbao, are you really thirsty?" Yu Yan looked at her with suspicion.

I wonder what new ideas this clever little guy has.

Jin Bao smiled secretly and said in a low voice: "I saw the Sixth Princess just now. She should be here to see my eldest brother. It's not appropriate for the two of us to stay there. Let them talk alone."

If the eldest brother can really marry the Sixth Princess as his sister-in-law, the family will be protected by the royal family, and we can rest assured even if she returns to Lotus Pond in the future.

Yu Yan said worriedly: "Alas, with Xiao Xiang's straightforward personality, the Sixth Princess's intentions may be in vain."

It's such a pity. If the two of them could really get married, she would be the princess's aunt, and just thinking about that identity would make her feel proud.

"Not necessarily. The Sixth Princess is a very nice person. She won't mind Big Brother's temper..."

While the two were discussing, the Sixth Princess had already come behind Xiaoxiang.

"Master Zheng!"

A soft and gentle voice came from behind. Xiaoxiang was startled and turned around suddenly.

The person who came was slim and graceful, wearing a lake blue brocade dress. Her long hair was as soft as ink, and a tasseled jade hairpin was simply inserted diagonally in her bun. Her fair cheeks were rosy, her almond eyes were shining, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised. Her whole body exuded an innate gentleness and dignity.

It's so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it.

Seeing that he was looking at her intently, Mengyao's cheeks became even redder and she felt secretly delighted in her heart.

"You...who are you?" Xiaoxiang's ears turned red unconsciously after he came back to his senses.

Seeing that he didn't recognize her, Mengyao smiled slightly, took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and handed it to him.

When Xiaoxiang saw her movements, he thought it was another one of those women who came to chat him up. He frowned slightly and was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly felt that the handkerchief looked familiar.

He subconsciously took the handkerchief and took a closer look. He found that it was actually his, but his handkerchief...

Xiaoxiang suddenly thought of something, his pupils shrank suddenly, his expression became nervous, and the fingers that were pinching the handkerchief turned slightly white.

This person is the Sixth Princess.

What did she mean by this? Was she just trying to return the handkerchief? Was it really necessary to go through so much trouble for just a worn-out handkerchief?

Seeing that he hadn't moved, Mengyao thought for a moment and said softly, "I'm sorry for hiding my identity from you that day. My name is Long Mengyao."

She was apologizing? The princess actually apologized to him?

Xiaoxiang's heart was beating like a drum and he couldn't calm down, so he didn't think before speaking the next words.

"It's okay, it's just a handkerchief, you don't have to return it."

After saying that, he handed the handkerchief back.

Mengyao didn't expect him to answer like that. She was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head, suppressed a smile, took the handkerchief, and put it away carefully.

After putting the handkerchief away, she quietly raised her head and looked at the slightly nervous man in front of her. The uneasiness in her heart gradually dissipated and turned into joy.

She can now confirm that Master Zheng definitely has no woman he likes.

"You should already know my identity, right?"

Xiaoxiang thought about it, said nothing, and just nodded slightly.

Apart from his family, he had never come into contact with other women, so he didn't know how to communicate, not to mention that the person in front of him was a princess.

"Thank you for helping me that day."

"You're welcome."

"You don't have to be so reserved. Just treat me as an ordinary person. My purpose today, besides thanking you, is actually to ask you something."

"what's up?"

"Do you have a woman you like?"

Although Mengyao had already determined the answer in her heart, she still wanted to hear him say it in person.

"No." Xiaoxiang shook his head.

Meng Yao breathed a sigh of relief, then mustered up her courage and finally spoke her mind: "If I say that I like you, what do you think?"

After saying that, she immediately lowered her head, not daring to look him in the eyes.

"I...you..." Xiaoxiang looked at her in shock, his mind going blank.

"You don't have to care about my identity, just answer truthfully."

Mengyao also started to get nervous. She had finally mustered up the courage to pursue her own happiness, and naturally didn't want to end up in failure.

Seeing her serious look, Xiaoxiang also began to think carefully.

He didn't know what love was, but he was sure that he didn't hate the woman in front of him, and he believed in his sister's judgment.

As soon as he knew the visitor was the princess, he had guessed that his sister had left on purpose just now in order to create an opportunity for him to be alone with the princess.

Although his status is not worthy of the princess, now that the princess has taken the initiative to confess her feelings to him, what right does he have to refuse?

After confirming his thoughts, he looked at Mengyao and said seriously: "If you decide to be with me, I can promise to treat you well. Apart from my family, I will only treat you well."

After that, he added: "My family is very good, and they will be good to you too."

He is not good at saying sweet words, he just says whatever comes to his mind, but once he says it, he will definitely do it.

Mengyao was stunned at first, then a feeling of joy surged in her heart. Her eyes slowly turned red with excitement.

"You, don't cry. If I say something wrong, you can hit me."

When Xiaoxiang saw tears in her eyes, he was frightened and panicked, not knowing how to comfort her.

Mengyao sniffed, shook her head gently, and said with a smile: "No, I'm just too happy."

She tilted her face up with a gentle smile on her lips. In the sunlight, her eyes were sparkling with tiny lights, so beautiful that it made people's heart beat faster.

Xiaoxiang was stunned unconsciously.
