Crossing the World: This Prince is a Little Sweet

The next day, Shaoyao got up from the bed and looked around strangely, confused. She was clearly guarding the door, so how come she woke up to find herself sleeping in the room these days?

Hearing a rustling sound outside,

"Oh no, could it be that someone broke into the courtyard and watched the young lady making medicine?"

Shaoyao quickly put on her shoes and walked out of the room. She saw Yanhuo packing things in the yard.

"Master Fireworks, so early?"

Shaoyao unconsciously gathered her hair by her ears, lowered her head shyly and asked.

"Morning, Miss Peony"

Fireworks turned around and responded.

"Master Fireworks, what are you doing?"

Shaoyao looked at the fireworks in confusion as they cleared away everything in the yard. Did her young lady no longer need to make medicine?

"The princess ordered me to clean these things up."

"Oh, what about my lady?"

"In the room"

When Shaoyao heard this, she hurried to the room and saw her young lady lying on the chaise longue with her legs crossed and eating fruit.

"Miss, eating fruit on an empty stomach in the morning is not good for your stomach."

Peony started to babble again.

"It's okay, I just ate."

Chu Xi had just returned from the palace after a full meal and now just wanted to lie down and not move.

"It's so early, why don't you ask Shaoyao to get up and serve you?"

Shaoyao pouted in dissatisfaction.

"I can do it myself. You must be very tired from guarding the door for me these few days. How can I have the nerve to wake you up again?"

Chu Xi took another bite of the peach without caring. The fruits here were really delicious, big and sweet.

"Peony is the young lady's personal maid, and it is her duty to serve the young lady. Peony does not feel tired."

"Okay, I got it. I'll definitely call you next time. Has anyone come to see you these days?"

"Only the lady came once."

"So what did my mother say when she came?"

"When the Madam saw me standing guard at the door, she asked if the young lady was still in the room making medicine, and also asked if the young lady had eaten on time. I said that I had eaten on time, and she left."

"Besides my mother, have there been any other suspicious people here?"

Shaoyao thought about it carefully and nodded affirmatively.

"No."

"Well, I see."

"Miss, where is your uncle?"

Shaoyao began to look around the room and found that there was no one else.

"Ahem...what uncle?"

Chu Xi was choked by the peach juice because of Shaoyao's words. He looked at Shaoyao with a pair of misty eyes in confusion.

"That's the Seventh Prince wearing the golden mask. Isn't he my son-in-law?"

Shaoyao didn't understand why Chu Xi reacted so strongly. They were indeed engaged, and that night the young lady seemed to have a good relationship with the Seventh Prince. The young lady even helped the prince detoxify, so getting married should be a matter of time. Isn't that the son-in-law?

"Well, but we haven't gotten married yet, so we can't call him uncle yet. Just call him the Seventh Prince."

"But why does Master Fireworks call Miss Princess?"

"He is the prince's man. I have no right to control him. What he says is his freedom."

"Mrs. Yanhuo calls you Princess. Does that mean that the Seventh Prince really likes you?"

Shaoyao looked excited. In this era, the most important thing for a woman to marry into her husband's family is to gain the favor of her husband.

Chu Xi frowned upon hearing this, with no trace of joy on her face. Was she really going to marry Yan Jingshuo?

Although she liked him very much, getting married was a lifelong thing.

Yan Jingshuo is powerful, handsome, and most importantly, he treats her very well. He is indeed the best choice for marriage.

only……

How many years can this pampering last?

Once the novelty wears off, I’m afraid the newcomers will become old ones.

Yan Jingshuo is in a high position, it is impossible for him to stay with her alone in the future. There are not so many infatuated people in this world, and not every man can be as clear-sighted and sensible as her prime minister father.

She was also unsure about Yan Jingshuo.

She also didn't want to gamble her entire life on a future with no chance of winning.

She didn't want to use any means to win favor. She just wanted to fiddle with the two taels of herbs in her own yard. She didn't have the mind to climb to the highest position and look down on everyone.

The most ruthless imperial family.

The royal family is a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones. Does she really want to stir up trouble?

The answer is the same as before: she doesn't want to.

She didn't want to compete with many other women in the future and fight for a man by any means.

She didn't want to stay in that small place forever, waiting for a man to come and see her, crying every day.

The more Chu Xi thought about it, the more terrified he felt, and he shuddered unconsciously all over.

He suddenly felt it was tasteless, put down the peach in his hand in annoyance, and began to pace back and forth.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Shaoyao looked at Chu Xi walking around the room, with a hint of sadness on her face. Shaoyao scratched her head in confusion. What's wrong with this lady?

Isn't it a happy thing to be liked by the prince?

Chu Xi's mind was in a mess, and she felt that she had to find a way to get Yan Jingshuo to cancel the marriage.

How about asking him to cancel the engagement directly?

Chu Xi decided to give it a try. After all, he didn't owe Yan Jingshuo anything and he had helped him detoxify, so he should agree.

Then he waved his hand and said solemnly:

"Peony, bring me the pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

"Okay, miss."

Chu Xi wrote a few lines on the paper in a very eloquent manner, but when he felt dissatisfied, he tore it up and rewrote it.

He wrote until the afternoon, and then he was satisfied and handed a letter to Yanhuo, intending to ask him to pass it on to Yan Jingshuo.

"Yanhuo, do you know that your master's poison has been cured?"

Chu Xi looked at Yan Huo standing upright in front of him and asked.

"I know"

Yanhuo responded softly, saying that his master's poison could be cured thanks to the princess.

"Well, help me deliver this letter to your master. Also, you don't need to report to me tomorrow."

"Princess, why...?"

Yanhuo looked at Chu Xi in shock, not understanding why he was being chased away. What had he done wrong?

'"No reason. Remember to give the letter to your master."

After Chu Xi finished speaking, he stopped looking at him and walked out of his yard.

"Yes, princess."

On the street, Chu Xi visited the stalls with great interest, and would buy one or two items if he saw something he liked.

When we were tired of shopping, we took Shaoyao into a teahouse and sat down.

Chu Xi chose a seat on the second floor, where he could clearly see the opera being performed below the stage.

The actors on the stage were dressed in gorgeous costumes and heavy makeup, reciting their lines and singing songs with emotion.

Chu Xi was not interested in watching the opera on the second floor. She didn't like listening to opera very much, mainly because she couldn't understand it.

She noticed that there was someone on the stage who kept looking up at her.

Shaoyao's face was dark since she entered the restaurant, and she was even more unhappy when she saw the man on the stage.

"Miss, let's go."

Shaoyao tugged at Chu Xi's sleeve.

"But the food isn't finished yet."

Chu Xi looked at Shaoyao and saw that she seemed to be hesitant to speak. It seemed that Shaoyao was hiding something from her.

"Miss, let's go home and eat. The food here is not as delicious as the one cooked by the chef in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Today, the chef in the mansion specially cooked your favorite sweet and sour carp."

Shaoyao spoke in a low voice, glancing at the stage downstairs from time to time.

"Peony, are you hiding something from me?"

Chu Xi looked at Shaoyao's frightened expression and thought she was being wronged here.

"Miss, I don't, really."

"No... Then why are you in such a hurry to get me home? Are there any enemies of yours here?"

Chu Xi obviously didn't believe it, and Shaoyao must be hiding something from her.

"No...no, don't guess randomly, Miss."

When Shaoyao saw her young lady's expression, she knew that she had not yet remembered who this person was.

"No? Then what made you so anxious for me to leave?"

Chu Xi still sat calmly in his seat drinking tea, ignoring Shaoyao beside him.
