I was flattered after crossing

"Well... before you figure it out, I need your help with something." Xiang'er nodded and replied solemnly: "You tell me, Xiang'er will do her best to do it."

I looked at Xiang'er's determined eyes and said softly, "Then help me keep an eye on this store, and I will recruit some helpers for you later. Ling'er and I will also help you in the early stage. But after that you have to support yourself." After that, I patted Xiang'er's shoulder gently to show encouragement.

Xiang'er was a little surprised when she heard what I said, but soon she showed a worried look and shook her head and said, "Ah, I~ Can I do it? Such an important task~"

Xiang'er frowned and continued to shake her head and said, "No, no, if I leave, who will take care of your daily life?" Her tone revealed her concern and worry for me.

I smiled and comforted her, "Don't worry, there are other maids in the mansion who can take over your job. Moreover, with your ability and attentiveness, you are fully qualified for this new job."

Lei Lei also echoed, "Yes, Xiang'er, you are so smart, it's a pity to keep you in the mansion. Besides, the princess has a unique vision and she is very accurate in judging people. You have to trust her judgment."

Xiang'er clutched her sleeves tightly, her eyes gleaming with determination and courage. She raised her head and said to me with a firm tone in her voice: "Thank you for your trust, Princess. Xiang'er will definitely not let you down!"

I smiled and touched Xiang'er's head: "You're welcome. Xiang'er, remember, no matter when and where, you must believe in yourself and bravely pursue your dreams. I believe that you will be able to realize your own value."

Xiang'er's eyes flashed with determination: "Princess, I will definitely work hard!"

"Princess!" I heard a familiar voice. I couldn't help but exclaim when I saw who it was. "Ah? Seventeen? What's wrong?" I looked at Seventeen and said.

Seventeen walked quickly into the shop and said to me anxiously, "Your Majesty, please return home."

I was surprised and said, "Ah? Oh oh oh, okay, let's go back now. Then Leilei, you and Xiang'er will take care of the next things, just follow the plan! If there are any changes, you can handle it yourself."

Lei Lei nodded and agreed: "Don't worry, go back and see what's going on."

After getting on the carriage, I lifted the curtain and threw my bag to Leilei.

Lei Lei caught the bag and couldn't help but sigh: "Wow, it's so heavy! She carries such a heavy thing every day!"

Leilei opened the bag curiously to check what was inside. After seeing the items inside, she exclaimed in surprise: "Wow~ Xiang'er, we have dinner!" Leilei patted the bag excitedly and said to Xiang'er.

"Seventeen, what happened? Why did the prince ask me to go back to deal with it?" I asked curiously as I got out of the carriage.

Seventeen, who was driving, turned around with a look of helplessness on his face: "Hey, after the prince came back from court, that Li'er girl came over again.

The prince was embarrassed to refuse, so he invited her to have lunch in the palace. But now it seems that she has no intention of leaving... So the prince asked me to take you back to the palace, hoping that you can help deal with it. "

Hearing this, I couldn't help but sigh, "Oh, this bitch is really difficult to deal with! If you hit her a few times, that would definitely not be appropriate; if you scold her, she doesn't care at all. I thought she would be more restrained after the last incident, but I didn't expect her to be so difficult to deal with." I complained angrily.

"Yes, the princess is right, she is really too difficult to deal with." Seventeen echoed my words, his tone full of helplessness and annoyance.

"Then you might as well just stab her to death with a sword." I looked at the back of Seventeen's head and suddenly an idea popped into my mind.

"Oh! Princess, please stop joking! How dare we, the servants, attack others so easily? What's more, she is a royal relative!" Seventeen was so frightened that he trembled all over and quickly turned around to look at me, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

"What about me? I am a princess. Can I be killed at will?" I said with a smile on my face and in a relaxed tone.

"Oh, my dear princess~" he said helplessly, then turned around and looked at me.

"Oh, I was just kidding, how could that be possible..." I smiled, lowered the curtain, and retreated back into the carriage.

As soon as I got off the carriage, I saw Cui'er standing at the door, looking out with wide eyes.

"What's going on?" I asked Cui'er in confusion.

"After lunch, Miss Li'er pestered the prince to play chess with him. I just came out and waited here, and they were still playing chess." Cui'er frowned and said angrily.

"Please keep someone by the prince's side, so that he won't come back and be framed." I asked vigilantly.

"Yes, yes, Jinxiu and the prince's servants are all here!" Xiao Cui replied hurriedly.

I observed Xiao Cui carefully and said to her jokingly, "It's rare to see you have such a vivid expression."

"Princess, stop teasing me. The prince is about to be snatched away by someone!" Xiao Cui gently held my arm and shook it coquettishly.

I looked at her happily, with the corners of my mouth slightly raised, and said, "You have to believe in your prince, and you have to believe in me! But to be honest, I like you more now when you are down-to-earth."

"Hmm? Down-to-earth?" Xiao Cui asked puzzledly.

"Yeah, I always thought you were a ruthless killer and rarely showed any emotion… You were like the deity guarding the South Gate of Heaven, high above and cold-blooded. Hahaha…" I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Oh, Princess, please stop making fun of me. We're almost there." Xiao Cui said with a slightly blushing face, a little embarrassed.

Finally, we walked into the yard and saw Xiao Zhengxuan and Xu Ruoli playing chess in the yard.

"Your Highness, why are you sitting in the yard playing chess in such a cold weather?" I pretended to be surprised and walked over quickly.

I secretly sighed in my heart, this prince is really cruel! And Xu Ruoli is not inferior to him. The two of them can actually play chess in the yard in the cold winter weather. It is really admirable. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shudder.

"The princess is back." After hearing my voice, Xiao Zhengxuan slowly stood up and walked towards me.

I quickly reached out and touched his hand, and said with a worried look on my face: "Oh, why are your hands so cold?" As I spoke, I brought his hand to my mouth and blew on it gently.

"It's okay." Xiao Zhengxuan quickly took over the conversation in a calm tone.

"Why is it okay? If your hands are frozen, don't even think about touching me in the future. I'm afraid of the cold." I said coquettishly, and then put his hand on my cheek, but I couldn't help shivering.

Seeing that Xiao Zhengxuan seemed to be about to laugh, I immediately gave him a threatening look, but fortunately he held back his smile in time.

At this time, Xu Ruoli, who had been sitting next to us, finally couldn't sit still anymore. She stood up and walked towards us, not sure if it was because she was too cold or too sore.

"Princess~ Li'er has come here today to apologize to you for what happened that day." Xu Ruoli said softly.

"Oh? Oh, look at my memory, I didn't even recognize it was Miss Li'er!" I said in surprise, "What did Miss Li'er say just now? What did Miss Li'er do on my birthday?" I continued to ask sarcastically.

Then, I took Xiao Zhengxuan's hand off my face, quietly put it into my cloak, and let him hold my waist. There was no other way, my face was too cold, if it continued like this, I was afraid that my big nose would flow uncontrollably...

"Li'er...Li'er..." Xu Ruoli looked at the servants around her and stammered, unable to say anything.

I laughed inwardly and said, "Oh, Miss Li'er, you mean the aphrodisiac you drank."

At this time, I also stretched out my hand under Xiao Zhengxuan's cloak, forming a hugging posture and looking at her.

She looked at the scene, looked around, lowered her head and said, "Yes...someone drugged me! I didn't drink it myself~"

"Oh? What did I say again?" I looked at her innocently and said.

"I hope the princess didn't misunderstand!" Xu Ruoli said helplessly.

I looked at her and smiled, "Hahahaha, you're overthinking. We're a newlywed couple and can't even sleep, so how can we have the time to overthink..."

After saying that, I looked up at Xiao Zhengxuan.

A smile flashed across his deep eyes, and then he leaned over and kissed my lips gently.

This sudden action caught me off guard, and I quickly reached out to push him away, scolding him, "What are you doing?"

"I want to sleep with the princess~" Xiao Zhengxuan said with a hint of sarcasm, his lips slightly raised.

After saying that, he took a step forward and hugged me tightly in his arms again.

Feeling the gazes of the people around me, my face flushed and I whispered anxiously, "Get out of the way! Everyone is watching us!"

However, except for Xu Ruoli's angry face, the other servants all lowered their heads, covered their mouths and laughed.

Seeing this, I didn't care about being shy anymore and quickly acted like a spoiled child: "Then I feel a little cold~"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhengxuan gazed at me tenderly, gently stroked my hair, and smiled lovingly, "You are so delicate~"

After saying this, he picked me up without hesitation and slowly walked towards the bedroom behind him.

Xiao Cui followed closely behind, gently pushed the door open, led us into the room, and then closed the door.

Then, Xiao Cui turned around and said to the people below: "Okay, everyone, go do your own thing. You guys are responsible for preparing hot water, and the others go prepare tea. The princess hasn't had lunch today, so she will be hungry soon. Go notify the kitchen and ask them to make some more crystal dragon and phoenix cakes."

I sat on the bed in the room, quietly listening to Xiao Cui's instructions to everyone outside, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhengxuan quickly reached out a hand, gently covered my mouth, and whispered: "Hey? Don't laugh~"

"What were you thinking? Sitting outside playing chess in such a cold day?" I asked him in disbelief, my eyes wide open.

"Did you just think you could freeze her away? Who would have thought..." He suddenly stopped talking halfway.

"If I don't come back, you will all die together." I looked at him helplessly, feeling angry and amused at the same time.

"This child has a really strong will. Why don't you just take her in?" I looked at Xiao Zhengxuan and asked tentatively.

Xiao Zhengxuan's face darkened instantly and he remained silent.

"Well...if we put her in a business department, there will be no problem...I also plan to write novels and storybooks in the future. Don't you think it would be great to let her be in charge of operations..." The more I spoke, the lower my voice became, and finally I looked at him guiltily.

"You!" Xiao Zhengxuan stood up suddenly, untied his cloak, threw it on the bed angrily, his eyes full of rage.

"Shh... keep your voice down. What if she didn't leave? You'd have been freezing in vain. Oh, don't be angry, don't be angry. I'm just saying... Let's not hire her, let's not hire her..." I quickly got up from the bed and carefully comforted Xiao Zhengxuan.

Xiao Zhengxuan looked at me and smiled helplessly.

I walked to the table, poured him a cup of hot tea, and handed it to him.

Xiao Zhengxuan took the teacup, blew it gently, and then took a sip slowly.

"The princess didn't have lunch?" he asked.

I sighed, "Yeah, I was planning to get the cabinets and stuff ready so we could go out for dinner, but Seventeen would come find me."

"But now..." Xiao Zhengxuan said with some annoyance.

"It's okay. I'm not hungry either. I guess she will leave soon. How shameless would you be to eavesdrop on a couple's affair in public? Uh... I have conjured up images. I can't think about it..." After saying that, I shook my head.

"The guard has been found. He used to be Seventeen's subordinate in the military camp. He is an upright person and has excellent kung fu." Xiao Zhengxuan said quietly while drinking tea.

I was also sitting at the table bored, pouring a cup of tea and drinking it carelessly. When I heard this, I suddenly became energetic and immediately asked, "Does it look good?"

"Princess, what do you think is beautiful?" Xiao Zhengxuan looked at me puzzledly.

I looked at him and smiled, then said, "Your Highness is very good-looking. His eyebrows are like distant mountains, his eyes are bright like stars, his nose is high, his lips are red and his teeth are white, and his demeanor is extraordinary..." Before I could finish my praise, he interrupted me, "Of course he is not as good as me..."

"Ah... I didn't expect to have the same beauty as you... what about the height?" I smiled awkwardly and changed the subject.

"Anyway, his facial features are regular and he looks acceptable. As for his height...it should be about seventeen." Xiao Zhengxuan said thoughtfully.

I nodded with satisfaction and said, "Oh, it's good that she's not short. OK, I'll introduce her to Lei Lei when I get back."

"Princess, don't you want to take a look?" Xiao Zhengxuan asked doubtfully.

"Oh, no, I can see it when I show it to Leilei. It's not for me." I continued drinking tea.

"I don't want it even if it's given to me. I already have a prince who is both civil and martial, handsome and can protect me." I raised my teacup and toasted him mischievously.

"You're at least sensible!" Xiao Zhengxuan leaned on the bed railing with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
