I was flattered after crossing

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. Did she say why she didn't want it?" I asked.

"She said she has a hand warmer and she doesn't care whether it's made of gold or not. She said she won't change it once she gets used to it... She doesn't like any of the other gadgets and didn't want them!" Xiao Zhengchen complained to me and Xiao Zhengxuan aggrievedly.

"Chen'er is so outstanding, he will definitely find a gentle and virtuous woman to match him in the future~" I comforted him.

"No!" Xiao Zhengchen thought about it and retorted.

What’s going on? Are you going to have a “Rebirth: Woman, let me tell you how you can escape from the clutches of this prince” show?

So I quickly asked, "What does Chen'er want?"

"I've learned how to play the Ruan, but I haven't let her play it yet! I can't give up so quickly! Just wait and see!" After saying this, he ate another orange slice with confidence.

Before we could say anything else, Xiao Zhengchen said to us while chewing an orange, "I can't leave them alone for so long. Forget about Ye Lan, but I don't like her guards today. Let's go... I'm going to play the piano for Ling'er."

After saying that, he ran away happily, completely different from the frustrated look he had when he came in just now.

I looked at Xiao Zhengxuan who was silently peeling oranges beside me and said, "Wow! The children of you royal family are amazing. Your self-healing ability is unmatched..."

Xiao Zhengxuan smiled, continued his movements, and said, "Chen'er has been like this since he was a child, Princess, don't worry. Even if Chen'er doesn't get what he wants in the end, he won't bother him too much."

I nodded to show my understanding, but I was still a little worried: "Well, I'm not too worried about Lei Lei, after all, she's not the one who's sad. But, I hope Chen Er doesn't treat Lei Lei as his white moonlight, otherwise if he meets other women in the future, I'm afraid it will bring them a lot of pain..."

Xiao Zhengxuan comforted me, "Nothing in the world can ever go as we wish. Let's go and see if Chen'er's piano skills have improved. The last time I saw my mother, she shook her head and sighed, saying that she was almost possessed after listening to him playing the piano." Xiao Zhengxuan stood up and pulled me out the door.

I joked, "Is it so ugly? Then we have to hurry over there, or we will all be driven crazy by him..." The two of us smiled at each other and went there together.

The snow has stopped now, and the unique squeaking sound of boots stepping into the deep snow makes people feel the breath of winter.

"I slowly listened to the sound of snow falling

Close your eyes and imagine that it will never stop

You can't get close to me, it's not because you are too heartless

I just love the beautiful scenery outside the window."

I hummed the song unconsciously, immersed in it and feeling the tranquility.

"It sounds very nice. Is this... the song sung by the princess?" he said softly, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"We do have many songs of different styles. Each has its own merits." I replied with a smile.

He seemed very interested in my answer and then asked, "Is the princess's place much better than here?"

I didn't expect him to ask this suddenly, and I was speechless for a moment.

We walked forward hand in hand in silence, the snow under our feet making a crunching sound.

After a moment's silence, I slowly said, "Our technology is advanced, which has brought a lot of convenience to people's lives, but on the contrary there are also disadvantages. For example, mobile phones." I looked up at him.

He nodded thoughtfully and said, "It's that little box."

"Yes, that's right. The most outstanding feature of mobile phones is that they allow people to make voice calls anytime and anywhere, making it easier to communicate and keep in touch. Just like writing letters here."

"This feels magical, but doesn't this save the process of mailing and delivering letters? Isn't that a huge benefit?" Xiao Zhengxuan asked doubtfully.

"That was true at the beginning, but later, this little machine evolved little by little. Its functions became more and more powerful as people's needs changed. Now it controls us." I shook my head helplessly and explained, "You can see how anxious I was when I first came here. Without it, I felt that everything was wrong."

"What about now?" Xiao Zhengxuan asked curiously.

"Now I can concentrate on doing one thing for a long time. I think this is a huge improvement for me. For example, when I was making clothes before, I would want to check my phone or watch videos while I was working, and I would waste a lot of time doing so. Now, I can make a cheongsam in five days, excluding the time I spend running to our silk shop." I answered proudly.

"Distracted by playing with things?" Xiao Zhengxuan said thoughtfully.

"Yes! That's absolutely right! It's because of playing with things that I lost my ambition! It was too debilitating! I just couldn't control myself. Now I'm fine. I've forced myself to quit. It's good~" After saying that, I looked up and smiled at him.

Xiao Zhengxuan touched my head and said with a smile: "What about that person? Have the people in the two places changed?"

"People? There's no difference between people. There's nothing new under the sun. They're all the same..." I shook my head.

"The princess is somewhat sober now..." Xiao Zhengxuan said.

"Poor?" I looked up at him and could read a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

Xiao Zhengxuan just looked at me without answering.

"Pfft... It's okay, it's not pitiful. It's better to see through human nature as soon as possible~." I said with a smile.

Before we knew it, we had slowly walked to the Begonia Garden.

As soon as we entered the yard, we could hear the melodious sound of a piano. Xiao Zhengxuan and I looked at each other in disbelief.

"Chen'er plays the piano so well?" After saying that, we quickened our pace and entered the room.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Lei Lei chewing dried fruit, her cheeks puffed up, enjoying the food with satisfaction. Guard Wei stood behind her expressionlessly, but his eyes were always paying attention to her every move.

Xiao Zhengchen and Ye Lan were concentrating on playing the piano. Their fingers danced on the strings, and beautiful notes flowed out of the piano, lingering in the whole room. Both of them looked very devoted, as if they were completely immersed in the world of music.

I had imagined a tense situation, but I didn't expect that at this moment they were living in harmony...

Xiao Zhengxuan also showed a surprised expression, but quickly regained his composure.

"Oh, brother and sister-in-law, you are here~ Come and listen to how Chen'er plays." Xiao Zhengchen said excitedly, with a confident light flashing in his eyes.

"I just heard a passage in the yard. Was that what you said?" Xiao Zhengxuan's eyes were full of anticipation.

Xiao Zhengchen nodded quickly and said, "Yeah, it's me, it's me."

Xiao Xiaoxu: "Oh! It's really good, Chen'er. When I heard it, I thought it was played by Mr. Ye!"

Xiao Zhengchen scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly, and said with a smile: "Hey, how can I compare with Master Ye? I just asked Master Ye for advice, but it suddenly opened my eyes!"

"Ah?" I was stunned with astonishment, and I was muttering to myself, what's going on? Didn't we agree to come here to mess things up? How did it become a visit to pay respect?

Ye Lan smiled and said: "His Royal Highness the Second Prince is extremely smart and can understand things at once~"

I looked at Lei Lei who was looking very happy beside me without knowing what was going on. She gave me a smug look that said "I'm so awesome, right?"
