I was flattered after crossing

【Inn】

The maid was packing clothes and asked Zhao Wanqing, who was sitting on a stool, in confusion: "Miss, tell me, the prince clearly brought us into the mansion, why did he send us out again?"

Zhao Wanqing snorted coldly and replied unhappily: "Humph, it must be the princess who is interfering!"

The little maid opened her mouth in surprise, "But didn't the princess go out?"

Zhao Wanqing frowned, "She is not as kind as she looks. But it doesn't matter, at least we are back in the imperial city, and when I marry into the palace, I can bring my father back." After saying that, Zhao Wanqing's frown slowly relaxed a little.

The little maidservant was still a little worried, "If the princess is as difficult to get along with as the young lady said, I'm afraid my life will be difficult in the future..."

Wanqing said: "Although the princess may make things difficult for us, as long as we deal with it carefully, we will be able to resolve the crisis. Moreover, as long as the prince likes me, the princess will not dare to do anything to me easily. Therefore, we must adapt to the life in the palace as soon as possible and get along well with other servants, so that we can survive better."

The little maid nodded to show that she understood and was full of confidence in the future.

"Well! The young lady is young and beautiful, she will definitely be able to keep the prince's heart! By then, she will be pregnant with a little boy, and her position as the princess will be secure. Moreover, it seems that the prince and the princess have been married for quite a while, but there is no movement in her belly yet. It's really disappointing." The little maid analyzed in a knowledgeable manner.

Zhao Wanqing smiled slightly and looked at her with appreciation: "Haha, I didn't realize that you, a girl at such a young age, know so much."

The little maid smiled mischievously: "Hehe, I've been exposed to these things since childhood, it's hard not to learn~ Miss, I'm hungry, let's go out for dinner~" After saying that, she did not forget to puff out her lips.

Zhao Wanqing looked at the sky outside the window and nodded, saying, "Well, okay, it's time for dinner, let's go." After that, she stood up and went out with the maid.

Walking down the street, the little maid looked around excitedly and said with emotion: "Miss, we haven't walked along this street for a long time~ I didn't expect to come back one day!"

Zhao Wanqing smiled and patted her shoulder gently: "Yes, we are back. There are still many good days waiting for us in the future."

The two chatted and strolled along the street, enjoying the joy of returning to their old place.

After walking a few steps, she saw a shop with a constant stream of customers. "Yunjin Silk Shop..." She thought for a moment and said, "I didn't expect that this silk shop has grown so big now."

"Hey, what's the big deal? If you do good business but can't catch a man, isn't it useless?" The little girl pulled her lady and continued to move forward.

"Can't catch it..." Zhao Wanqing glanced back at the silk shop, turned her head and whispered: "Why do I feel that the princess has never caught it..."

"Isn't that better? Since she doesn't cherish it, naturally you, young lady, can enjoy it all by yourself!" said the little girl happily.

"I hope it's as you said." Zhao Wanqing nodded with a smile.

"Huh? Zhao Wanqing? Why is she here?" Lei Lei was sorting clothes on the second floor when she saw Zhao Wanqing and her servant standing downstairs, staring at the silk shop in a daze.

Lei Lei couldn't help wondering, what was Zhao Wanqing doing here? She definitely wasn't here to buy silk? But she looked like she wasn't that simple...

"Huh? What happened?" Guard Wei keenly noticed that there was something wrong with Lei Lei's eyes, so he immediately came over to ask.

Lei Lei looked at Guard Wei mysteriously, then pointed at the two people outside the window and said, "Did you see those two people?"

Guard Wei looked in the direction of her finger and nodded to indicate that he saw it.

Lei Lei continued, "Follow them. I'm going back home now. See you there later." After saying that, she turned and left.

[Recruitment]

Lei Lei came in happily, muttering, "Oh~ we're reconciled~" Xiao Zhengxuan sat there, drinking tea expressionlessly, without even glancing at Lei Lei, and simply replied, "The princess and I have never had a quarrel, so how can we reconcile?"

Lei Lei could tell that his tone was different from that at noon, and he seemed more confident. She smiled mischievously and sat down as well.

I poured Lei Lei a cup of tea and asked with concern, "How are the materials shipped from Hangzhou?"

Leilei picked up the teacup, took a sip, nodded with satisfaction and replied:

"It's really good, with novel designs and light colors, very suitable for spring. We sold a lot in one afternoon~ You don't know, but today a family made a set of the same auspicious fabrics you prepared for the candidates! If he doesn't pass the imperial examination and become the top scorer, it would be a shame to make up for these clothes." Lei Lei said with a beaming eyebrow.

I exclaimed: "Wow, this is a huge investment!"

Lei Lei nodded and continued, "Yes! The lady of that family said that each one has a good meaning. She couldn't bear to give up any of them, so she just took them all."

I echoed, "How does that saying go? Yes, adults don't make choices, they want everything~"

Lei Lei smiled and nodded, then suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "Oh, by the way, let's get down to business. Guess who I saw just now." She first glanced at Xiao Zhengxuan, then squinted her eyes and looked at me mysteriously.

I glanced at Xiao Zhengxuan and found that he looked a little guilty, so I turned to look at Lei Lei and replied, "Zhao Wanqing?"

"Okay!" Leilei gave me a thumbs up.

"Eh? Your Majesty, didn't she go back to the palace with you? Why did she sneak out like this? Doesn't the palace provide meals?" Lei Lei asked bluntly.

"My king did not keep her in the mansion..." Xiao Zhengxuan answered somewhat unconfidently.

Upon hearing this, Lei Lei widened her eyes in surprise and couldn't help saying, "Ah? Hey, I thought the first order our etiquette company would receive would be the order for the prince to take a concubine!" As she said that, she turned to look at me, her eyes full of confusion and puzzlement.

After hearing what Leilei said, I couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter: "Hahahaha! You're going to make me die of laughter!" The laughter echoed in the room.

I smiled and glanced at Xiao Zhengxuan, only to see his face turn red instantly. He was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do and couldn't say a word.

After a while, Xiao Zhengxuan finally squeezed out a few words: "Okay, the dishes are all served, let's eat." His voice carried a hint of helplessness and embarrassment, as if he wanted to end the topic as soon as possible.

"Are you staying here today or..." Leilei asked while eating.

Before I could reply, Xiao Zhengxuan said, "Come back with me... I have ordered people to clean up the places where she stayed in the mansion today."

I looked at his serious expression and thought about it. After all, he was a prince, but he didn't report to the palace immediately after returning from a business trip, but followed me for a long time. Since he didn't make any mistakes in principle, I couldn't refuse him.
