Crossing the World: This Prince is a Little Sweet

Shaoyao saw Yanhuo sitting on a stone bench in the yard, carefully wiping his sword, without a single ghost in sight.

"Miss, there's no one at the door, just fireworks."

Shaoyao pouted and walked in front of Chu Xi, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her voice.

"Miss, did you make a mistake? Should I meet my true love only after I leave the Xiangfu Gate?"

"Really? Let me calculate again..."

Chu Xi closed his eyes and pretended to pinch his fingers.

"No, that's not right. What I'm calculating is that the first man you meet when you walk out of this door will be your true love."

Chu Xi looked as if he was sure that he had calculated correctly.

"But Miss, apart from the fireworks, I didn't see any other men outside the door."

"Really? This Fireworks is really not a man. He must have blocked your peach blossoms and prevented you from meeting your true love..."

"Miss, how can Master Yan Huo not be a man? He saved my life last night."

"But he blocked your peach blossom luck, so you couldn't meet your true love."

"Then it is possible that my true love is Master Yan Huo?"

"Maybe"

Chu Xi smiled secretly, suppressed the slightly raised corners of his mouth and responded to Shaoyao in a serious tone.

"Miss, are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"

"Of course not. Your young lady is very good at fortune-telling. She will definitely get it right once out of a hundred fortune-tellings."

"Miss, why do you sound weird?"

Shaoyao scratched her head and thought, feeling that there was something wrong with what Chu Xi said, but she couldn't guess what it was.

Chu Xi saw Shaoyao was thinking, and was afraid that she would realize later that he was teasing her, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Um... Peony, let's not talk about this anymore. Can you get me some hot water to wash my face?"

"Okay miss, I'll be there right away."

When Shaoyao heard that Chu Xi wanted to wash her face, she immediately went out to prepare hot water.

"Morning, Miss Peony"

Yanhuo saw Shaoyao coming out of Chuxi's room and stood up to greet her.

"Morning, Master Fireworks"

Shaoyao nodded with a blushing face, her eyes flickering and she didn't dare to look directly at the fireworks.

The three people hiding in the dark took a look and found that their Lord Fireworks had some melons to eat, and their gossipy expressions instantly lit up.

"Miss Shaoyao, do you need any help?"

Fireworks Mumu's opening.

"No, Master Yan Huo, your hand is still injured, just sit down and rest."

After saying this, Shaoyao ran away, not daring to stay with Yanhuo any longer.

Chu Xi finished packing and prepared to go out.

"Where are we going, miss?"

Shaoyao couldn't help but feel curious when she saw Chu Xi dressed like a gentleman again.

"Go get some work done."

"Miss, you are dressed like this again. It will be bad if the master and mistress see you."

Peony spoke up to remind.

"Crow's Mouth"

Chu Xi picked up the fan and hit her on the head.

"Ouch, miss, that hurts."

Shaoyao cried out while covering her painful forehead.

"Peony, your little mouth looks like it was blessed. If you really run into my parents later, I will definitely ask Yan Huo to sew your little mouth shut."

Chu Xi said jokingly while pinching Shaoyao's little face.

"What? Miss, it's not that serious. I was just worried."

Shaoyao was so scared that she quickly covered her mouth, and her almond-shaped eyes looked around in horror. She was really afraid that what she said would be right and the lady would sew her mouth shut.

As expected, Chu Xi walked around the front hall to avoid Madam Chu's sight, but ran into her father who had not returned home all night at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Xi'er, where are you going in this outfit?"

Chu Xiang's bloodshot eyes looked at Chu Xi, who was dressed as a man, with displeasure.

"Hehe... Dad, so early?"

Chu Xi smiled and hid the fan behind her.

"It's quite early. What are you going to do dressed as a man so early in the morning, Xi'er?"

"Oh...um...Dad...didn't your daughter learn horse riding before? The weather looks good today, so I plan to practice some more."

"You don't have to dress like a boy to learn horse riding. Look at you, how can you behave like that? You don't even look like a girl."

"Dad, men's clothes are convenient for riding, but women's clothes are too troublesome."

"Xi'er, are you bullying your father because he has never ridden a horse?"

"Dad has ridden a horse before, but he is a man, not a woman. He certainly doesn't know the troubles of wearing women's clothes."

"Hmm...it seems to be the case."

Prime Minister Chu seemed to be thinking about something and found that what Chu Xi said made sense. He really didn't know what it was like to ride a horse in women's clothing.

"Is it too early for you to learn horse riding now?"

"It's getting late... Daddy... It will take some time to get there."

"Okay, then you should be careful and don't try to be brave."

"I know. Then Daddy, I'll leave first."

"go"

After Prime Minister Chu finished speaking, he walked towards the Prime Minister's residence.

Chu Xi watched Prime Minister Chu walk back to his residence, and only breathed a sigh of relief when his figure disappeared.

"Miss……"

Shaoyao looked like she was about to cry and shouted in a trembling voice.

"..."

"Miss……"

"doing what?"

"Please don't sew my mouth shut. I know I was wrong."

Shaoyao tugged at Chu Xi's sleeve and begged.

"No, you have such a sharp mouth."

Chu Xi turned around and walked out pretending to be angry.

"Miss, please don't... Master Yan Huo, please help me persuade Miss."

Peony looked at the fireworks with a wronged look, and her appearance was quite pitiful.

Seeing her pitiful appearance, Yan Huo's heart skipped a beat. He wanted to raise his hand to wipe away her tears, but he felt it was inappropriate. He could only clumsily speak to comfort her:

"Don't cry, the princess was just lying to you."

"Wuwu...Miss, wait for me."

Shaoyao ignored the fireworks and turned to chase Chu Xi.

"..."

Blacksmith shop.

Chu Xi stood at the door and looked at these words, hesitating whether to go in.

"Yanhuo, is this blacksmith shop considered a good place for blacksmithing in Kyoto?"

"doesn't count"

Yanhuo glanced at the iron shop and said calmly.

"It doesn't count? What do you mean?"

Chu Xi turned around and looked at the fireworks with strange eyes.

"Princess, are you going to forge weapons?"

"Well, I need to make some parts."

"If you want to forge sophisticated weapons, the Tang family has a team of specialized weapon forgers. Their skills are far superior to those of ordinary blacksmith shops."

"Is the Tang family so powerful?"

"Princess, you forgot that the Tang family relies on this technology to make a living."

"But Tang Shiyu went to look for Ziyi and couldn't find him at all."

When Chu Xi talked about this, he missed Zi Yi and the others a little. He wondered how they were doing now?

"Princess, you forgot that the master can do the same."

"Your Majesty, do you have this ability?"

Chu Xi found it a little unbelievable. Could Yan Jingshuo order people from the Tang family around?

"If the princess doesn't believe it, you can go ask the master."

Fireworks raised his eyebrows, looking very confident.

"Okay, let's talk after I finish my work."

Chu Xi walked into the blacksmith shop and looked at this simple blacksmith shop curiously.

"Sir, what can I do for you?"

A middle-aged man with a full beard was sitting shirtless beside the stove, adding firewood to the stove from time to time. His eyes were staring at Chu Xi with a piercing look.

"Hello, big brother. I want to talk to your boss."

Chu Xi spoke very politely.

"I'm the boss, what can I do for you?"

The bearded man nodded politely.

"Boss, can you help me make these things?"

Chu Xi took out a few blueprints from her arms. Seeing this, the bearded man walked up to Chu Xi and took the blueprints from her hand to check them.

"Sure, but your things look complicated, so it might take a little longer."

"You can take your time with this. I'm not in a hurry."

When Chu Xi heard that he could fight, his voice became a little more excited.

"Sir, if you want to make all these things, and the size must be 100% accurate, the price will not be cheap."

"As long as you can build it 100% according to the drawings, the price is negotiable."

Chu Xi said as he handed a bag of gold leaves to the bearded man.

"This is the deposit, boss, do you think it's enough?"

The bearded man took the bag, opened it, and found that it was full of gold leaves. His expression brightened slightly.

"That's enough. It won't take that much to beat them out."

"Boss, don't answer so quickly. I have a request. I hope you can use the best materials in your store to make them, preferably black iron. And the size must be accurate, otherwise I will refuse to accept them."

Chu Xi looked at the bearded man with a firm gaze, and his words left no room for doubt.

"Yes, if you use black iron, the price will be different. Three bags of gold leaves will be enough."

The bearded man was a little shocked to hear that Chu Xi wanted to use black iron to make it, but after seeing the size required on the drawing, he nodded in agreement.

"No problem, that's easy."

"Come here to pick up the goods at this time in half a month."

"Boss, you're so straightforward. Deal."

Chu Xi smiled with curved eyebrows.

The bearded man also laughed happily. He didn't expect Chu Xi to be such a straightforward person.

Seeing that the important matter had been settled, Chu Xi headed towards the horse farm.
