I was flattered after crossing

At this time, the servants had brought up the crabapple plums and placed them on the table.

"Chen'er, do you know why I rushed to the palace to ask for permission to arrange a marriage after I returned to the court?" Xiao Zhengxuan pushed the plate towards his lovely younger brother and asked.

"I think you are just being lazy. You married a woman of humble status and unknown origin. You definitely don't want to help my father in the future!" Xiao Zhengchen threw a crabapple into his mouth and chewed it.

Xiao Zhengxuan looked outside the door as if recalling a memory, and after a moment he said: "The story starts from last year when I followed the army to attack Daliang. At that time, there was a traitor in the army, who leaked our deployment to Daliang, causing us to retreat step by step. So General Li and I disguised ourselves and went to inquire about the situation. Unexpectedly, during one of the inquiries, we were discovered by the people of Daliang. With my life hanging by a thread, I ran to the most popular dance hall in Daliang in a panic. Later I learned that General Li hid in a dry toilet nearby and almost didn't survive to join me." As soon as he finished speaking.

"Could it be! My sister-in-law is the dancer in that dance studio?" The dog stared.

"That's right. I didn't want to involve others at the time and wanted to avoid the search and leave. Unexpectedly, she came back soon after I broke into her boudoir. At this time, I heard that there were government officials coming in to check downstairs. I had no choice but to threaten her with a dagger and asked her to help me through this. I thought that if she didn't cooperate, I wouldn't hurt her life. Then I would break out of the window or fight them to the death!" Xiao Zhengxuan clenched his fists and described vividly.

"What happened next?" Xiao Zhengchen asked anxiously, stuffing a few more fruits into his mouth.

"Later, unexpectedly, she nodded and agreed to my request. She told me that she only had one request and helped me escape the search."

"What request? What request?" Chew chew chew.

"She asked me to take her away. She told me that she had been raised by her aunt since she was an orphan. She was sold to a dance hall before she even reached the age of 15 so that she could show off her beauty. If she could marry a rich man and become his concubine, she could earn money for her aunt. If not, she would dance here until she could no longer dance. She didn't want to live this kind of life where customers looked at her like a commodity and she had no dignity every day."

"Wow, it's so tragic! What kind of aunt is she? She is such a vicious person! She was so pitiful and helpless at that time! Wuuu." Xiao Zhengchen felt that the food in his mouth didn't taste good anymore.

"Then...how did your sister-in-law help you out of trouble?" She wiped her tears and asked Xiao Zhengxuan eagerly.

"She was...she was..." Xiao Zhengxuan's face began to turn red as he spoke, "You are still young. You will understand when you reach adulthood."

Xiao Zhengchen's neck turned red when he heard this. "Then... then brother must treat sister-in-law well. Sister-in-law will do everything for you... everything."

"Of course. Since she has become my princess, I will definitely treat her seriously."

"By the way, brother, I seem to have some policy papers not finished writing. I'll leave first, otherwise it will be terrible if father asks about it tomorrow!" After saying that, he put down the fruit and ran out.

Xiao Zhengxuan immediately stood up and chased after him, "Chen'er, remember to keep this a secret for me! This is not just about..."

"Oh, don't worry, I'm leaving! You've been nagging me all day long!" He jogged all the way.

Xiao Zhengchen returned to the palace and said, "Wow, my brother and sister-in-law are just like what is written in the storybook. A weak woman who has no choice but to do things meets a man who is willing to take her away and protect her when she is most sad and helpless. He is a good husband who will marry her and live with her forever even if he has to give up his position as the crown prince for her. I don't know when I will be able to meet this touching love story!"

Queen's Palace

Nanny Su came in and said, "My dear, the Second Prince is back."

The Queen was lying on the bed pretending to be sick.

Upon hearing what Su Mama said, he immediately sat up, took Su Mama's hand and asked her to sit beside the couch: "Did you come back from Xuan'er? What was his expression, what did he say?"

"I heard that after the Second Prince came back, he kept saying things like, "My brother is a responsible man," "My sister-in-law is pitiful," and "They are deeply in love." He seemed to wipe away tears from time to time." Nanny Su carefully recalled what the little eunuch had just heard.

The queen was relieved: "It's finally quiet. In order to avoid this annoying little guy, I pretended to be sick for the past few days and couldn't even walk! Come on, Madam Su, let's go to the Imperial Garden to see if the lotus flowers are blooming?"

The next morning I went to the silk shop early because the three days agreed upon had arrived.

Soon, Chen Qingyue, riding a sturdy and strong horse with a fiery red mane, stopped at the door of the store. She dismounted, brushed off the dust on her body and came in. When she saw me, she bowed to me and said, "Sister, I am sorry for causing trouble to you in the store that day. Please don't blame me. In fact, if you hadn't been here, I wouldn't have necessarily wanted that piece of material."

"It's okay, it's okay. Come and sit here and have some tea. Where did you come from? You look so graceful riding a horse, which is really enviable." I poured tea and handed it to her.

"I just went to the horse riding field with my dad. Actually, riding a horse is not difficult. Sister Xiaoxu, oh no, now you should be called Princess Rui. If you like, I will personally teach you how to ride a horse." She drank her tea and looked at me and said.

"Hey, don't call me princess, just call me Xiaoxu. Let's go horseback riding when we have the chance, and I'll have Sister Yue teach me. Come, let's take a look at the new material. I've designed a style that suits you, come and see if you like it." He handed her the designed drawing: "This is a round-necked, right-fronted, narrow-sleeved robe. This robe is not like a skirt with three layers inside and three layers outside, and it is convenient to get on and off the horse. The narrow sleeves are more suitable for Sister to raise the bow and shoot arrows, do you like it?"

"I really like it. Sister Xiaoxu actually knows what I'm thinking. I finally don't have to wear this ugly men's riding and archery uniform anymore!" She patted her black plain clothes and smiled at me.

Looking at her satisfied smile, she asked Ah Fu to bring out the bag that Uncle Li had made for her.

Her eyes lit up when she saw the bag. "Wow, it's so beautifully made. The bag is like a round bucket with a rope around the top. There are round jade stones on both sides of the rope. It seems like my sister put a lot of thought into it!"

"It also has a longer strap so you can carry it on a horse." I said as I slung the bucket bag across her body.

She happily turned around and asked, "How is it? Does it look good?"

"So heroic and yet so cute!" I winked at her and smiled.

"Sister Xiaoxu, I am so happy chatting with you! By the way, I will go to the shopkeeper to pay the money, and the dress will be made according to your design."

"Okay, I'll ask the tailor to come out and measure your size." I replied to her.

After measuring the size, Chen Qingyue said goodbye: "Sister, I have some study to do in the afternoon, so I will go back home first! See you next time."

I walked her out of the store and watched her ride away on horseback.

I can't help but think that this dynasty I come from is really good. Women can do business, ride horses, take exams, and even have male musicians play the piano for you. Hehehe...

I stretched my body and turned back to prepare to receive another young lady.

Then I heard the sound of galloping horses.
