I was flattered after crossing

【Fengqi Palace】

Nanny Su walked into the palace with an unpleasant look on her face and reported to the Queen: "Your Majesty, Miss Li'er went to Prince Rui's Mansion again."

The Queen frowned, her voice filled with anger: "How could this child be so ignorant? Xuan'er has rejected her many times, but she still won't give up. She has embarrassed me in public time and again!"

As the queen spoke, she held her forehead with her hand, as if she had a severe headache.

Nanny Su sighed and said, "Alas, Miss Li'er has always liked the eldest prince since she was little, and has been following him around all day. Now that things have come to this, she still refuses to give up. I'm afraid... she will not marry anyone but the eldest prince..."

At this time, Xu Ruoli suddenly broke into the courtyard of Fengqi Palace and shouted loudly: "Auntie~"

The palace maids guarding the door were frightened and ran over to stop her.

When the Queen heard the voice, she immediately ordered Nanny Su, "Go and tell her that I'm resting and won't see any guests." After saying that, she prepared to turn around and leave.

"Hey, let me in, I'm going to go find my aunt!" Xu Ruoli shouted at the two maids at the door in a bad mood.

"Hey? Aunt, aunt, I see you. Don't hide from Li'er this time!" She leaned over and shouted into the hall.

"Hey~ let her in." The queen said helplessly to Nanny Su.

A woman wearing a peach-colored long skirt and a light pink brocade dress strode into the side hall.

"May Her Majesty be well!" The woman knelt down and saluted.

The queen looked at the woman in front of her and couldn't help but frowned and asked, "What are you doing here today, Li'er?"

"Aunt, please let Brother Xuan divorce the princess!" Xu Ruoli knelt on the ground and cried.

After hearing this, the queen almost dropped the teacup in her hand. If she hadn't taken her status into consideration, the teacup would have flown onto Xu Ruoli's head.

"Do you know what you are saying? Who gave you the courage to interfere in the royal affairs?" said the queen angrily.

Xu Ruoli looked up at the queen with a wronged look on her face: "Aunt, you don't know, that princess is simply a 'vixen'! Since she married into the palace, Brother Xuan has changed. He hangs around her all day long and has become increasingly cold to me. I'm really sad... wuwuwu..."

The queen frowned, feeling very unhappy, but still said patiently: "Cold? I have never been enthusiastic...how can I be cold?

Li'er, have you forgotten what happened under the sacred tree behind Sanqing Temple last time? And the joke you made on the princess' birthday. If Xuan'er had any interest in you, he would not have ignored it... Don't you understand even these?"

The queen sighed again and said earnestly, "Li'er, love can't be forced, so why are you so persistent?"

Xu Ruoli didn't take the Queen's words to heart at all, and still said stubbornly: "It's because of the princess that Brother Xuan didn't help me! She must have cast a spell on Brother Xuan!"

"You're really talking to a cow! If you go there today...how will Xuan'er treat you?" The Queen smoothed her chest and took a sip from the teacup.

Xu Ruoli didn't seem to notice the Queen's expression. She continued to immerse herself in her own world. She smiled as she recalled and said, "Today I happened to run into Brother Xuan'er leaving the court, so I went back with him."

"Oh? Go on." The queen looked up at Xu Ruoli.

"Then, Brother Xuan invited me to have lunch together, and then we played chess in the yard." Xu Ruoli said happily with a look of a young girl in love on her face.

"In the courtyard...playing chess...aren't you cold?" The queen frowned and reminded.

"It's not cold, not cold... How romantic~" Xu Ruoli's eyes were full of longing and happiness, as if she had forgotten the cold.

"Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long, and that vixen came back soon." Xu Ruoli's eyes suddenly became jealous, and her original sense of happiness disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"And then..." The queen looked at her and sighed in her heart.

"Then she brought Brother Xuan into the house! She is simply a vixen! She pulled Brother Xuan to commit adultery in broad daylight... in broad daylight! So, aunt, please make Brother Xuan divorce the princess!" Xu Ruoli knelt on the ground again and said pitifully.

The Queen frowned and looked at the shameless woman in front of her, feeling disgusted.

She sighed and said, "Listen carefully to me. First, the princess has not done anything to let down the royal family or Xuan'er. Second, Xuan'er has not become indifferent to government affairs just because he got married. On the contrary, he works hard every day to handle government affairs. Third, Xuan'er went to the palace to ask the emperor and me for the princess. At the beginning, he said that he wanted to be with the princess for the rest of his life. Today, as your aunt, I am telling you clearly that Xuan'er does not have you in his heart! He never has. I advise you to take care of yourself."

Xu Ruoli had heard a lot of similar things since he returned to the capital, whether it was his beloved brother Xuan, or the jealous Princess Rui, or the legends on the streets... all of them told the story of the deep love between the prince and the princess. But he just didn't believe it and didn't give up.

"Aunt, Xu Li'er treats Brother Xuan sincerely. How about this? I become his concubine. I believe that people's true colors will be revealed over time. If I can marry Brother Xuan, I will be able to move him sooner or later." Xu Ruoli said with renewed energy.

"You are so stubborn! Look at your father's backyard! You don't even know how you live as someone else's concubine." The queen put the teacup on the table with force, making a crisp sound.

"With your temper, you will go crazy if you don't die when you get to the palace! Do you think the princess is so easy to control? They are a newlywed couple, and you want to rush in right away? Aren't you courting death?" The Queen said, slamming the table.

Xu Ruoli was startled, but still walked forward a few steps, knelt a few steps and said: "Aunt, don't be anxious, don't be angry, then Li'er is willing to wait until the day when their relationship fades!"

"Get out of here! You won't listen to a word I say! Today is the last time I, as your aunt, will take care of you. If you get into trouble in the future, you'll have to bear the consequences yourself!" The queen was so angry that she threw the tea bowl in her hand heavily to the ground. She looked at the shattered white jade tea bowl on the ground with heartache, her face frighteningly gloomy.

Xu Ruoli wanted to say something, but was grabbed by Nanny Su and dragged out of the palace.

The queen looked at Xu Ruoli's departing back and couldn't help shaking her head, sighing secretly in her heart.

As Su Ma walked, she kept muttering, "Miss Li'er, if you have nothing else to do these days, you don't have to come to pay respects to the Queen. The Queen has been unwell these days, so she has been exempted from paying respects to other palaces. You should go back and rest, and don't make the Queen angry again."
