I was flattered after crossing

I nodded and took a bite of the fish. It was indeed very delicious. "Hmm? It's good~" I turned my head to look at Xiao Zhengxuan: "Try it quickly, the fish meat is sweet." The servant had already moved the dish in front of Xiao Zhengxuan and me.

Xiao Zhengxuan picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth, chewing it carefully, and said with satisfaction: "Well, it is indeed delicious. If the princess likes it, I will ask Chen'er to catch a few more tomorrow."

Hearing this, my eyes widened and I asked in disbelief, "These fish were actually caught by Chen'er?"

Xiao Zhengxuan nodded and continued to explain: "Yes... Ever since Lei Lei explicitly rejected Chen'er, he has changed completely. He has become taciturn and fishes in the emperor's koi pond every day. Those fish are very precious and are usually taken care of by someone. But Chen'er always goes fishing secretly, leaving the emperor helpless."

After Xiao Zhengxuan finished speaking, he picked up another piece of fish and put it into his mouth.

I couldn't help laughing out loud: "Haha, so that's how it is. Then I have to eat a few more pieces. After all, it's a fish raised by the emperor, and it's imbued with dragon energy!" As I said that, I hurriedly picked up a few more pieces of fish and put them into my mouth.

"Did you keep any? It's really delicious." I turned my head to look at Xiang'er.

Xiang'er lowered her head and said in the anechoic room: "I can't keep it, just one~"

"Okay, I'll save some for you later." I raised my head and winked at Xiang'er.

"Hehe~ Thank you, Princess~" Xiang'er replied softly. I smiled and nodded, continuing to enjoy the food.

At this moment, a slight sound came. I turned around and saw Zhao Wanqing's maid snorted, seeming a little dissatisfied.

The expression on her face showed a hint of disdain and contempt, and you could see that she hadn't fully rolled her eyes.

Zhao Wanqing noticed my gaze and quickly glared at the maid, signaling her with her eyes not to be so rude.

Unexpectedly, the little girl said disapprovingly: "The princess treats the servants so well, but she doesn't even let the concubines eat with her. Humph, I just can't stand it."

I sneered, put down my chopsticks, wiped my mouth slowly, and then said: "First of all, your master is a maid, not a concubine. Secondly, my maid, even the lowest-ranking one, is higher in position than your master. Thirdly, if I were your master, and I had someone under my command who could cause trouble for me, I would just..." Having said that, I paused and looked at Xiang'er.

Xiang'er immediately understood what I meant and continued, "Oh, my princess, how could I harm you like this? I didn't even have time to spend the money you gave me. I don't mind living a long life!"

Hearing Xiang'er's words, I nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "You! Your little mouth is chattering so much. It seems that it was a wise decision for me to give the facial mask shop to you!" I looked at Xiao Cui and said with a smile.

"That's absolutely wise. In the words of the princess: If we work hard under you, we will have good food and good drinks!" Xiang'er said happily.

When these words were spoken, Xiao Cui and Jin Xiu who were standing beside them couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh.

I turned my head to look at Xiao Zhengxuan, and his eyes seemed to say, "What do you care?"

Xiao Zhengxuan immediately understood what I meant, and then said to Zhao Wanqing: "Miss Zhao, you have to take more care to manage the servants, so as not to bring about a fatal disaster~"

Zhao Wanqing never expected that she had endured humiliation for such a long time, but she didn't even win the slightest sympathy from Xiao Zhengxuan. Now she was standing here with an empty stomach and being scolded. In an instant, she felt wronged and tears welled up in her eyes, but she didn't say anything.

Then, Xiao Zhengxuan looked at me awkwardly, and I sneered in my heart. It was just as I expected. I knew that the only person you can rely on is yourself.

So I shouted loudly to the outside: "Someone come!" Soon, several guards came in and waited respectfully for my orders.

"This... this maid, she offended the princess, she committed insubordination, she should be dragged out and beaten to death." I drank the last serving of seafood porridge, burped silently, and couldn't help but sigh in my heart, it's so delicious, it's so fresh without any black technology~ It would be great if I could bring my parents over, at least the food safety here would be no problem!

"If you like it, Princess, please have another bowl!" Xiang'er took the bowl from my hand and served me another one.

"No, no, I really can't eat anymore!" I quickly shook my hands.

"Oh~ This is half a crab... Are you sure?" Xiang'er said to me while scooping up the seafood.

"Uh... don't serve the porridge, I can still eat crabs..." Who asked me to help! I am a greedy girl!

Xiang'er: "Crab claws?"

Xiao Xiaoxu: “Yes!”

Xiang'er: "Shrimp?"

Xiao Xiaoxu: “Yes”

Xiang'er: "Scallops?"

Xiao Xiaoxu: “Yes”

Xiang'er: "Sea cucumber?"

Xiao Xiaoxu: “Yes”

Xiang'er: "Abalone?"

Xiao Xiaoxu: “Yes”

The result was that I held a big bowl of seafood and started eating...

Zhao Wanqing, who had just reacted, looked in disbelief at the only maid who had accompanied her to Beijing, who was receiving a caning outside the courtyard.

"Your Highness and Princess, Wanqing begs you two to please show mercy! Yuan'er didn't mean it. She has been unruly since she was young. I will definitely teach her well in the future!" After saying that, Zhao Wanqing kowtowed to the ground.

"This scene seems familiar!" After saying that, I recalled how she begged for mercy from me last year.

"Since you are here, you should be able to predict what will happen. No matter whether you are from Lingnan to the imperial city or from inside the courtyard to outside the courtyard, you are out of bounds. The rules of the game are set by me, not you~ Do you understand?" I bent down and looked at her grimly.

But before she could reply, I stood up. I couldn't say that I had just eaten something horny. If I didn't get up, I would vomit all over Zhao Wanqing's head. I wasn't afraid of being embarrassed, but I was afraid of vomiting out the crabs I had worked so hard to eat...

Zhao Wanqing spoke again: "Princess, regarding Yuan'er's matter, can you be lenient with her? She really didn't mean it. Wanqing will never cross the line in the future."

I glanced at Zhao Wanqing, then said calmly, "Since you're begging me so much, I'll give you twenty lashes of the cane."

After hearing this decision, Zhao Wanqing finally breathed a sigh of relief and didn't dare to say anything more. After all, she knew that she and Yuan'er were in the wrong this time, and if they continued to argue, it might cause more trouble.

I looked up at Xiao Zhengxuan next to me. He seemed to be in a good mood, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a hint of tenderness in his eyes as he said, "Princess, you are so open-minded. You are really a blessing to me."

I leaned over and whispered, "Heh... don't flatter me. If I wasn't so uncomfortable that I had to go out for a walk, I would have tortured them both here anyway." Although this sentence contained some joking elements, it also reflected my true thoughts.

After all, if you hold back a step, you will get angrier, and if you take a step back, you will lose more…
