I was flattered after crossing

"Okay, the tea has been served and all the formalities have been followed. Xuan'er, please take the princess back home!" said the queen gently.

"Well, go back. Xuan'er must not indulge in pleasure and forget his duty." The emperor said seriously.

"Your son will follow the teachings of our father, the emperor, and our mother, the empress!" Xiao Zhengxuan and I answered in unison.

"Well, get up and go back to rest!" the queen instructed again.

Xiao Zhengxuan turned sideways, gently supported me, and asked with concern: "Can you get up?"

"Okay, okay, give me a slap!" I responded in a low voice.

After we walked out of the hall, Xiao Zhengxuan suggested, "Should we go to the Imperial Hospital and bring Doctor Xue back to the palace so that he can take a look at you?"

Hearing this, I couldn't help but exclaimed: "What! That won't do, that's the coccyx! It's okay, it's just a scratch, it will heal in a few days, it's okay."

"Is it really okay?" Xiao Zhengxuan looked at me worriedly.

"It's really nothing. I've accidentally bruised my tailbone before and it will be fine after a few days of rest. But how's your knee? You've been kneeling for so long..." I suddenly remembered his bruised knee yesterday and asked hurriedly.

"It's much better now, it's okay." Xiao Zhengxuan supported me, and we walked out of the palace staggeringly, leaning on each other...

"Isn't Xuan'er too... Look at the princess's mouth, it's all broken! She had difficulty getting up just now!" The queen sighed, her face showing heartache.

"It's a bit too much... But you see, when Xuan'er stood up, one of his legs was powerless. Although he tried his best to hide it, I could still see it." The emperor said while stroking his beard.

The Queen looked at Xiao Xiaoxu's back in the distance and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Princess..."

"Look at these eunuchs and palace maids. After watching us, they all turned their backs and whispered to each other, and even laughed secretly. They must have misunderstood us..." I looked around and said to Xiao Zhengxuan in a low voice.

"Well, how can there not be misunderstanding in such a situation, Princess?" Xiao Zhengxuan continued, "Otherwise, why did my father scold me just now?"

"Oh, this is so embarrassing..." I looked embarrassed, then lowered my head, wishing I could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

"Hey, why don't I see Chen'er?" I thought to myself. Logically speaking, in such a lively scene like today, how could he be missing?

Just when I was wondering, I heard Xiao Zheng beside me say, "Xuan'er blocked a lot of wine for me last night. I guess he's still asleep now."

Hearing this, I couldn't help but laugh: "Hahaha, your brother is really devoted to you!"

Xiao Zheng smiled slightly when he heard this, and responded softly: "Well, Chen'er has always been like this."

Looking at Xiao Zhengxuan in front of me, I sighed sincerely: "At first, I really thought that the relationship between you brothers was not good. After all, being in an imperial family is often full of various political schemes and calculations.

But now it seems that your family is actually very loving, and there is no intrigue as rumored by the outside world. "While speaking, my eyes were always on Xiao Zhengxuan.

As if touched by my words, Xiao Zhengxuan hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Princess... did you figure it out?" There was a barely perceptible nervousness in his words.

Seeing this, I rolled my eyes at him and replied with a smile, "Yeah, I saw that a long time ago."

After hearing this, Xiao Zhengxuan's expression relaxed a little, but his hands unconsciously clenched my hands, and he asked carefully: "Princess, are you not angry?"

Sensing his actions, I turned to look at him, smiled and shook my head, and said slowly: "There's nothing to be angry about. Everything in the world has its fate. If you encounter a good fate, just let it go and cherish it."

After listening to this, Xiao Zhengxuan nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "How should we deal with bad fate?"

"Brother Xuan~Brother Xuan~" A soft voice came from our side.

“Hahaha, here it comes…” I gently tickled his hand that was clasped with mine with my index finger.

"Oh~" Xiao Zhengxuan sighed helplessly.

The young lady walked towards us gracefully, twisting her waist with every step, as if she was going to twist her hips off. She finally came to us and said with a slightly red face, "It's all because Li'er and Dad are stationed in the northwest garrison, which is too far away from the imperial city. We were delayed on the road for another day and only arrived today. I was unable to attend Brother Xuan's wedding in time, so please don't blame me, Brother Xuan."

Xiao Zhengxuan responded gently: "Li'er, you have worked hard on the way. I am very happy that you can come here. Did General Xu come back with you?" Xiao Zhengxuan responded gently.

"My father was worried that there would be chaos in the northwest after he left, so he didn't come back with me. However, my father asked me to convey a message to Brother Xuan. I wish Brother Xuan and the princess a happy and lasting marriage." After saying that, she turned and looked at me.

I nodded at her with a smile on my face. But I was wondering in my heart: Who is this person? What should I call her? Father? The emperor's brother's child? I haven't heard Xiao Zhengxuan mention it...

"The princess is so graceful!" The woman named Li'er gently stroked her fair and tender face and said tenderly, "Unlike me, I have been stationed in the northwest with my father for many years and suffered from the wind and sand. Now I have become pale and thin, with no beauty at all."

Come on... another green tea!

When I heard this, I felt a sharp pain in my tailbone and was too lazy to respond to her.

At this moment, she suddenly turned her gaze towards me and asked in a sarcastic tone: "Just now, I saw from afar that Brother Xuan was carefully supporting the princess. Could it be that the princess is unwell?" After saying that, she glanced at me provocatively, and then shifted her gaze to Xiao Zhengxuan.

Xiao Zhengxuan was very calm and composed. He smiled and replied softly, "Indeed, the princess is a little unwell, so we will return home first. Li'er, you should also go back and rest early. You must be exhausted after traveling all the way."

She sneered, her tone becoming increasingly sharp and sarcastic: "Alas, on the first day of the wedding, the princess's body is so weak. There are still many days to come... I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult..."

Hearing this, I finally couldn't stand it anymore. I was dragged out early this morning to sit in a carriage, which was very bumpy all the way. After arriving at the palace, I had to kneel down and pay my respects. I finally got a chance to rest in the carriage for a while, but then this annoying green tea lady showed up halfway.

So, I decided not to be patient anymore and directly retorted: "Humph, all this is to blame on your brother Xuan~ If it weren't for him, how could I be so exhausted?"

When she heard this, she raised her neck sharply and asked in a questioning tone, "What does this have to do with Brother Xuan? It's obviously the princess herself who is in poor health. I never thought that Brother Xuan took so long to choose and actually picked such a weak and sick person to be the princess."

"Li'er, don't be rude!" Xiao Zhengxuan's face suddenly darkened and he scolded with a somewhat annoyed tone.

Seeing that Xiao Zhengxuan was a little angry, Li Er lowered her head quickly, but still muttered softly: "That's how it is..."

"Your Highness, please don't scare Miss Li'er..." I gently shook Xiao Zhengxuan's hand.

Then I turned to look at Li'er, sighed deliberately and said, "Alas, even if I have an indestructible body, it is difficult to resist your brother Xuan's entanglement with me. He simply didn't let me sleep last night. He kept pestering me until almost dawn before he let me go to sleep... He almost broke my waist~" After saying that, I gently hit Xiao Zhengxuan's chest.

"Yeah, it's all my fault. I won't make trouble until so late today." Xiao Zhengxuan responded softly and gently.

"What? You are still thinking about tonight!" I widened my eyes, stared at him, and shouted in surprise.

After this conversation, Li'er's face had turned as red as a ripe red apple.

"Oh, this little girl Li is shy~" I said jokingly.

"What Miss Li'er~you..." She looked up at Xiao Zhengxuan and continued to say to me: "Princess, don't you know who I am?"

I nodded seriously: "No one has ever told me..."

"You! Humph!" She was so angry that she turned around and walked away, with a gait completely different from the enchanting gait when she came. The maids and servants following her also trotted after her.

"Pfft, let's go quickly. My tailbone can't hold on any longer! Why does it feel like this fall is even more serious than the time I fell at school?" I turned to Xiao Zhengxuan and said.

"Okay, hold me tight, Princess." As soon as he finished speaking, before I could react, he had already hugged me tightly in his arms in a princess hug.

"Wow!" I was startled by this sudden action and I exclaimed softly.

Fortunately, the sound was not heard by Li'er, but it was noticed by other servants in the distance, who all cast curious glances at her.

However, at this moment, Li'er seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly turned around and stopped, looking towards us.

Her eyes were full of jealousy and resentment, as if she couldn't wait to replace me.

I felt her gaze, and a sense of pride welled up in my heart.

"Oh, Your Majesty's charm is really irresistible?" After saying that, she gently kissed him on the side of the cheek.

However, my action made Li'er even more angry. She couldn't help but shouted, "Hmph! This vixen!" Then she threw her sleeves and ran forward with big strides.

"Is the princess happy now?" Xiao Zhengxuan looked down at me with a smile in his eyes.

I looked at Xiao Zhengxuan and smiled, then proudly replied, "I'm so happy. After all, not everyone can be a vixen, hahahaha."

He looked down at me and shook his head helplessly: "You~"

After getting on the carriage, I immediately lay down on the side of the soft seat and yawned lazily: "Finally, I'm going home...but this princess is exhausted~"

Suddenly, I remembered something, so I sat up, looked up at Xiao Zhengxuan who was sitting there, and asked, "By the way, Your Majesty, if I help you solve the person who is pursuing you, will I get a commission?" I blinked and looked at him expectantly.

Xiao Zhengxuan raised his lips slightly and asked me with a smile: "So, what does the princess want?"

When I heard his question, I was secretly delighted and immediately answered confidently, "Twenty taels of gold per person."

I stared at Xiao Zhengxuan and continued, "And my after-sales service is absolutely first-rate! I guarantee that you won't have any worries! The results can be checked~ Look at who the previous one was... Oh, yes, Zhao Wanqing! And that Lan'er!" As I spoke, I counted on my fingers for him to hear.

"But as for Zhao Wanqing, my mother and I have already taken action." Xiao Zhengxuan looked at me with burning eyes.

"Well, let me give you a discount. I'll give you ten taels of gold!" I responded, meeting his gaze.

"Okay, that's thirty taels of gold in total. If the princess can successfully send Xu Ruoli away this time, you can name any price!" Xiao Zhengxuan smiled slightly and said softly.

"It seems that this girl is a tough nut to crack..." I muttered to myself.

"It's okay, Your Highness. You can tell me in detail about this girl's background and your past stories. Let me know more about the situation. As the saying goes, only when you know yourself and your enemy can you win every battle!" I looked at Xiao Zhengxuan expectantly and said excitedly.

"Princess, it seems you're short of money lately?" Xiao Zhengxuan looked puzzled.

"Of course. We are planning to open a large-scale store, and further develop the facial mask industry. Money is needed everywhere~" I explained to Xiao Zhengxuan with a serious expression.

"Okay, this Xu Ruoli is the legitimate daughter of my mother's cousin. She has been loved since she was young and often enters the palace to accompany my mother. It is because of this that we are able to meet frequently. From childhood to adulthood, she has always followed Chen'er and me. Her mother has always wanted to bring us together, but I have never been interested in this, and my mother has no good impression of her, so this matter has not been agreed to." Xiao Zhengxuan narrated with a focused expression.

"Oh, then why did she go to the Northwest?" I asked curiously.

"A few years ago, someone in the court advised me to get married, but I couldn't bear it anymore, so I asked my father to send me to the battlefield. Her name was on the list at that time. Perhaps because she felt that she was rejected by me, she resolutely went to the northwest to find her father." After Xiao Zhengxuan finished his story, he shook his head helplessly.

"You are my pure childhood sweetheart! It's not easy to get double buffs!" I lay down again with a sad face.

"But it doesn't matter~ I can definitely do it!" I forced myself to cheer up, raised my eyelids and stared at him, then said: "I just need you to fully cooperate with me."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, Princess." Xiao Zhengxuan smiled slightly and said softly.

After a while, Xiao Zhengxuan's somewhat cold voice came from above again: "Isn't the princess angry?"
