I was flattered after crossing

I was stunned when I heard that, so I propped myself up and looked up at his face.

His face looked a little bad...

That's right, I should act angry, only in this way can I show that I care!

However...I really can't do it!

"I know the prince has no other thoughts about them, so I won't be angry." I answered frankly.

Xiao Zhengxuan's expression became more serious, and he responded slowly: "So, what if I have other ideas?"

"Then let's break up!" Without thinking, I gave a matter-of-fact answer.

The atmosphere in the carriage suddenly became solemn, as if the air had frozen into ice.

My heart tightened, and I immediately stood up and sat up, with a serious look on my face, and explained to him: "Your Highness, in fact, I really like you. You can rest assured about this. However, for me, love is not a necessity in life, it is more like the icing on the cake. Therefore, it will never become a problem for me. If this relationship is no longer worth my nostalgia, I will not hesitate to cut the loss in time."

As soon as I finished speaking, I added: "Of course, Your Majesty, you can rest assured that since I have become your princess, I will never do anything to humiliate your reputation. There is no way I can cuckold you."

Before I finished speaking, I noticed that Xiao Zhengxuan's expression had eased. After a moment of silence, he slowly responded, "Well, I have never been so worried. After all, judging from the princess' busy schedule, she may not have time to take care of other things."

"Yes, that's right. Your Highness knows me very well, and I certainly know what kind of person you are. Therefore, we just need to trust each other and work together to deal with the outside world.

No matter what situation we encounter in the future, we should discuss it at the first time. Don't be suspicious and test each other. If you have any ideas, just speak frankly. In this way, we can solve all problems smoothly and live a stable life. Isn't this great? "I looked at him firmly and said solemnly.

"I know it's not easy for you to handle the matter of Xu Ruoli. You need to consider the face of the Queen Mother and General Xu, so just leave it to me." I continued.

"Princess, aren't you afraid of being branded as a jealous woman or a flatterer?" Xiao Zhengxuan asked doubtfully.

"Ah? Don't be afraid. Whoever wants to say whatever they want can say it. I don't care what others think of me. Even if they say a lot of things, it won't hurt me at all." I watched his face gradually improve and no longer be gloomy, so I lay back down with peace of mind.

"If the princess needs my help, just tell me." Xiao Zhengxuan said.

Hearing his tone become gentle, I didn't look up at him, but just said: "Your Majesty, you are so smart and resourceful, and good at planning. I'm afraid you have already helped me solve the problem without waiting for me to find you, right?"

Only a light laugh came from Xiao Zhengxuan: "Princess, you should close your eyes and rest for a while. I will wake you up when we get to the palace."

I couldn't help but yawn again: "Well, okay..." Then I closed my eyes contentedly and fell asleep quickly.

[Xiao Zhengxuan's room in the evening]

"Xiaoxu~I'm back!" Leilei walked in hurriedly from outside.

"How are you? I bought some blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing ointment from the pharmacy and I'll apply it on you." Leilei said, looking at me lying on the bed.

"I applied the ointment in the afternoon, so let's apply this in the evening. Do you think this pattern is good-looking?" I took out a piece of freshly drawn draft paper from the couch.

"Are you working while you're sick? A cat carrying a peony?" Leilei said, holding the drawing paper.

"It's a blessed place for cats. How can anyone resist such a cute cat?" I looked up at her.

Leilei put down the drawing paper and looked at me and said, "Your injury is so serious. It's so pitiful to see you lying there like this all the time~"

"Oh, I was exhausted and fell on some longans... When I stood up and looked, the longans were all deflated by me... It was an extremely embarrassing scene..." I said to her helplessly looking at her.

"Pfft, but the news that you and the prince fought for a whole night has spread throughout the palace, hahaha. Who knew it was like this, I'm dying of laughter." Lei Lei couldn't help laughing.

"I really want to know who makes the wedding bed. Other people just put a few beads on a handkerchief as a token of their appreciation. Our bed is just like the big cake of ethnic minorities!" I shook my head helplessly.

"Hahahaha Da Qiegao~" I turned my head to see her laughing so hard that she was bent over.

"By the way, how is our silk shop doing recently?" I asked Leilei.

"Don't worry, Mr. Xiao. Everything is going on in an orderly manner. Pan Fu's mother has also been there. You know what, her craftsmanship is really good! Oh, by the way." She took out a pink purse from her bag and handed it to me, saying, "This is a gift from Pan Fu's mother. She said thank you for finding her a stable job with a high salary."

I took the purse, rubbed it carefully, and couldn't help but sigh: "This is really good craftsmanship~ But the embroidery... is a pair of mandarin ducks... It's a bit unlucky."

"Don't worry, I told her that I'll embroider a God of Wealth for you next time..." Lei Lei rolled her eyes and continued, "Let me help you sit up for a while!"

"It's okay, I can do it myself, even if I have to sit I can only sit sideways." I said, and then I climbed up with difficulty and asked, "How is Ye Lan?"

"Oh, he's very popular now, and has a lot of fans! The fruit snacks in the store can't be finished these days, they are all given to him by fans.

As long as it was the material he had worn, all the rich young ladies would go and buy it, and Uncle Li and his assistants were so busy that they almost developed the art of invisible hands..." Lei Lei described it vividly.

"Hahaha, that's really good. Looks like we have to open a bigger store as soon as possible~" I said in a low voice.

Lei Lei looked at me in confusion: "Huh? Shopkeeper Xu has already gone to check on the store today!"

"Ah? Have you saved enough money so quickly?" I looked at Leilei in surprise.

"I don't know about that. I just arrived at the store today and he asked me to look after the shop. He said he was going to see a new store and then left. He just came back." Lei Lei said, recalling what happened today.

"Oh oh oh, then when you leave tomorrow, please give our money to Manager Xu to take with you. What if it's not enough?" I looked at Lei Lei and said with a worried look on my face.

"I mentioned this matter to Manager Xu today, and he said that the money is enough." Lei Lei responded.

"Wow, we made so much money so quickly? Even God is helping us~ Then let's invest all the money in the facial mask industry!" I was so excited that my voice couldn't help but rise by octaves as I said to Leilei.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, then where should we open the shop? I'll go out and take a look when I have time." Lei Lei asked puzzledly, blinking her big eyes.

"It's best to find one next to a rouge shop, followed by a jewelry and silk shop. If you buy clothes and fabrics in our silk shop, we'll give it to you as a gift. The prince also has a jewelry shop, and we'll give some away when the time comes." I said to Leilei seriously.

"Then what kind of packaging should we use? Oil paper? But it will go bad easily without preservatives." Lei Lei asked with a frown.

"No, we grind the Chinese medicine into very fine powder and prepare different combinations for different needs. We put honey and milk in small bottles. We give the customers the mixed powders and teach them how to mix them at home."

I told Lei Lei again with concern: "Take Xiang'er with you. She is smart and can help you. Otherwise, you can't handle so many things by yourself."

"Okay, don't worry! Hey, isn't your prince here?" Lei Lei looked out curiously.

"He went to the Ministry of War and said he had something to discuss with him..." I answered truthfully.

"Oh, by the way, let me tell you something. This morning I met a green tea girl named Xu Ruoli in the palace. She was so pretty. Xiao Zhengxuan was her childhood sweetheart.

He came to cause trouble for me, and I got angry and left. I promised Xiao Zhengxuan that I would help him get rid of this man. If you run into him when you come back, don't be surprised by my words and actions. "I told Lei Lei what happened this morning.

"Why is there another one... As a princess... your business is really extensive..." She leaned back on the railing beside the bed and said weakly.

"Take people's money and help them get rid of disasters~" I said.

"Childhood sweetheart + white moonlight! This job is so difficult to take!" Sure enough, Leilei and I thought of the same thing at the same time.

"I can set any terms after the deal is done!" I winked at her.

"No problem, I'll help you figure it out! It's not a big deal~" Leilei suddenly sat up straight and said excitedly. I stretched out my hand and high-fived Leilei~

[At night, Xiao Zhengxuan's study]

"Why don't you rest, Princess? Is your tail...injury feeling better?" Xiao Zhengxuan walked into the room, slowly walked to the desk, and asked softly.

"I've been lying down for a whole day, and I feel much better now. The ointment is really effective. I thought I couldn't lie down all the time, so I got up and moved around. Now I thought of a particularly beautiful pattern, so I quickly drew it down." I didn't look up and kept my head down, wanting to finish the pattern quickly.

Xiao Zhengxuan slowly came over and stood beside me. He looked at the pattern I drew and asked in confusion, "What kind of pattern is this? It looks very unique."

"This is the pattern of the moon palace and the golden cicada. In ancient times, people in our place believed that this pattern had the beautiful meaning of 'passing the imperial examination'. You see, there are the moon palace and the golden cicada, as well as some auspicious clouds, osmanthus, window grilles and other elements.

"When we release this pattern of fabric before the imperial examination next spring, it will definitely be a best-seller." I explained earnestly while carefully drawing the pattern.

"The princess is really far-sighted and knows how to plan ahead." Xiao Zhengxuan couldn't help but sigh after hearing what I said.

"This material requires gold weaving technology, which is quite complicated, so the pattern must be drawn in advance, otherwise we will not be able to make it in time." I answered without raising my head while drawing attentively.

"No... hurry?" Xiao Zhengxuan seemed a little unfamiliar with the word I said and repeated it in a low voice.

"Oh, it just means it's too late." Then I realized that he might not understand what I just said, and hurriedly explained.

"By the way, did you come back to have dinner so late?" I continued to ask.

Xiao Zhengxuan nodded slightly and replied calmly, "Yes, I went to the camp and had dinner there."

After hearing his answer, I couldn't help but feel suspicious. I put down the pen in my hand, raised my head, and looked at him. I asked curiously: "Did something happen? Why did you come back at this time?"

Xiao Zhengxuan nodded slightly, sat down slowly, picked up the teapot, filled himself with a cup of hot tea, and then said, "Something happened in Lingnan."

Hearing this, I was shocked and blurted out, "Oh? Could it be that Fu Heyi has caused trouble again?"

As soon as I said this, I regretted my recklessness. After all, it was just a guess. However, what I didn't expect was that Xiao Zhengxuan put down the teacup in his hand, looked at me in surprise, and asked, "How did the princess know this?"

I walked over to sit next to him and explained softly, "Ah? Actually, it's just my wild guess, but it's not hard to guess. I haven't heard of any unusual movements from the enemy country recently. If something goes wrong, it's naturally our own business..."

However, Xiao Zhengxuan's next words completely stunned me.

He only said in a deep voice: "Fu Heyi is missing..."

I widened my eyes and looked at him in disbelief: "Pfft... cough cough cough... so serious?" I couldn't wait to continue asking: "Did someone kidnap him?" My words were full of confusion.

"Based on the clues we have at present, it seems that this is not the case... He has been missing for many days, but no threatening letters related to him have been sent to the military camp." Xiao Zhengxuan said in a calm tone.

"Yes, if the enemy country kidnapped him, then we will definitely get some information." I echoed.

Then, I looked at Xiao Zhengxuan with a puzzled look on my face and asked, "Does he usually abide by the rules of the military camp? Could it be that he sneaked away on his own?"

After hearing this, Xiao Zhengxuan turned to look at me and asked curiously, "What do you mean?"

I analyzed calmly, "He is notorious for being restless here. Now that he is over there, everyone knows that he is the son of the prime minister, so how can they not flatter him?

Besides, General Xiao Huo did not accompany us. He was far away from home, so he could do whatever he wanted. Maybe he was enjoying it right now and didn't want to leave his homeland!" I inferred casually.

Xiao Zhengxuan nodded as he listened, expressing his agreement, and then said, "Well, what the princess said is very true. I will send someone to inquire in this direction tomorrow."

Then, he smiled and told me: "Prime Minister Fu went to the military camp in person today, hoping that I can personally lead the army to Lingnan to look for Fu Heyi."

I asked in surprise: "What? Is he crazy? Think carefully about how many words in this sentence can cost you your head..."

"Then how did you refuse?" I continued to ask.
