I was flattered after crossing

I sighed softly, and then replied: "If you have decided to abandon this place, then you can. However, you need to think carefully, after all, this is not an easy decision. Moreover, the place we want to go back to may not be able to go back at all, or we may never come back again... So, you must be mentally prepared."

Xiao Cui listened quietly without interrupting me. When I finished, she nodded and said, "Well, OK, I'll think about it. Thank you, Princess." There was a hint of gratitude in her voice.

I whispered to Xiao Cui, "You're welcome. If you decide to follow me and leave here, we can take you to see the world we live in. I believe it will be very interesting to you."

At this moment, there was a slight knock on the door, followed by a deep male voice: "Princess, I am here to take Miss Ling'er back to the mansion."

Hearing this voice, Lei Lei quickly responded: "I'll be right out!"

After saying that, she reached out and picked up the medicine box on the table, her face filled with excitement, and turned to walk towards the door.

Leilei waved without looking back and replied with a smile, "Bye~" Then she trotted out of the room.

I looked at her cheerful back and couldn't help but remind her, "Take care of yourself!"

Lei Lei handed the medicine box to Wei Wenjun and told him not to spill the precious medicine inside.

Wei Wenjun asked nervously, "Is Ling'er feeling unwell?"

Lei Lei quickly waved her hands and explained: "Ah? That's not the case... This is contraceptive medicine."

After hearing this, Wei Wenjun expressed without hesitation that he would take it immediately, and eagerly asked how to use it.

Lei Lei was amused by him and burst into laughter. She teased, "Hahahaha~ It has no effect after you take it~"

Wei Wenjun's face was as red as a ripe apple, his breathing was rapid, and it seemed that he had something to say but couldn't bring himself to speak.

Finally, he mustered up the courage to speak: "Miss Ling'er, I have followed the prince in the battles outside in the past few years and have accumulated some silver. Although it is not as rich as Miss Ling'er, it is enough to guarantee Miss Ling'er's living needs and ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing."

Lei Lei smiled slightly, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes. She looked at Wei Wenjun seriously and said, "I think our current relationship is good enough. Whether we have a marriage contract or not doesn't mean much to me." Her eyes were clear and bright, as if she could see through Wei Wenjun's innermost thoughts.

Wei Wenjun's heart was warmed, and he wanted to say something to express his feelings, but he didn't say it in the end. He knew that Miss Ling'er was an independent woman who had her own pursuits and ideals and would not be easily influenced by others.

"Then... I will just stay with Miss Ling'er forever." Wei Wenjun said softly.

Lei Lei couldn't help laughing when she heard this. She glanced at Wei Wenjun and said jokingly, "Sometimes I'm a villain, sometimes I'm a subordinate. I'm not a boss..."

Wei Wenjun's face instantly turned red, and he stammered to explain: "Wenjun has been accompanying Miss Ling'er like this."

Leilei nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "Yeah, that's right."

【New Year's Eve Ruiwang Mansion】

"Brother~Sister-in-law Chen'er is here~" Accompanied by a voice as clear as a silver bell, Xiao Zhengchen ran in from outside the yard holding the piano like a gust of cheerful wind.

"Oh my Second Prince~ Why are you here so early~" When Jinxiu heard the familiar voice, a smile immediately appeared on her face and she hurried out to greet him.

"Ah? It's already 9:00 p.m., is it still early? I've already paid my respects to my father and mother..." Xiao Zhengchen said as he looked curiously towards the closed bedroom.

"Huh? Haven't they gotten up yet?" He asked with his eyes wide open, puzzled.

"Yes, Second Prince, why don't you follow me to the prince's study first, and I will ask the kitchen to make you some snacks, okay?" Jinxiu suggested with a smile.

Xiao Zhengchen raised his hand to catch the falling snowflakes and said excitedly, "Well, that's good. It's starting to snow. Sister Jinxiu, I want to eat crystal dragon and phoenix cake!"

"Okay~Okay~The princess instructed yesterday that many greedy cats would come to our palace today to eat these pastries~The kitchen started making them early in the morning~" Jinxiu agreed with a smile, then led Xiao Zhengchen to Xiao Zhengxuan's study, gently closed the door, and quietly left.

After a while, Xiao Zhengchen's two young eunuchs carried a large box and walked into the prince's yard panting.

They panted and said, "Hey, why is the Second Prince walking so fast?"

Ping An, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Hey, it's so cold, I'm sweating too~"

Another young eunuch named Jixiang also leaned against the box and said weakly, "But where did this little ancestor go? Did you see clearly? Did he go into the prince's courtyard or to the Begonia Garden in the back?"

Ping An thought for a moment and replied, "Yes, that's right. It's right here. Didn't the Second Prince say yesterday that Miss Ling'er doesn't live in the palace anymore? That's why he sent these treasures here so that others can see how majestic our prince is~"

Jixiang added proudly: "That's right, there are some good things in this box!"

Ping An urged, "Alright, alright, hurry up and carry it in." After that, the two of them lifted the box with great effort again and walked inside.

At this time, Xiao Zhengchen heard the noise outside, pushed open the door and said, "You two are too slow, come in quickly~"

"Oh, my second prince~ You walk too fast~ We dare not walk faster with this treasure in our hands~" Ping An said while panting and walked quickly towards this side.

"You guys don't like training normally! I'll put you in my brother's military camp to gain some experience!" Xiao Zhengchen said half-jokingly to them.

"Oh, please spare us, Your Highness. Where did you put this thing?" The two men came in carrying a box, sweating profusely and asking breathlessly.

"Just put it over there. When everyone arrives, carry it to the main hall!" Xiao Zhengchen gave the command with confidence.

"Hehe~ Miss Ling'er will definitely be very touched by then!" Jixiang said with anticipation.

Xiao Zhengchen: “Really!”

"That's not true! He plays the piano! He also gives gifts! After seeing this, I am willing to give myself to him~" Ping An said jokingly.

"Get out!" Xiao Zhengchen scolded with a smile.

I suddenly jumped up from the bed, my eyes wide open, and my voice unconsciously raised an octave: "Is Chen'er here?"

Xiao Zhengxuan was awakened by my movement. He looked at me sleepily, with a hint of doubt in his tone: "Huh? The princess is awake?"

I rubbed my eyes in confusion and muttered to myself, "I seemed to have had a dream just now. I dreamed that Chen'er came to see us. What time is it now?"
