I was flattered after crossing

I raised my hand slightly and said, "Miss Zhao, there is no need to be polite. Please take a seat."

When Zhao Wanqing finished sitting, she immediately raised her head, looked straight at me and said, "I know that the princess likes peace and quiet, and I have been exempted from the etiquette of greeting in the morning and evening. However, the prince said a few days ago that if I need anything in life, I can come to the princess and ask you to help me solve it."

Just because of such a simple sentence from Xiao Zhengxuan, you forgot what happened a few days ago, and you even dared to barge into my yard. It's true that if you don't hit yourself with a stick, you will never know the pain!

While thinking this in my mind, I still responded gently: "Well, if there is anything you lack, just send the maid to tell Jinxiu later. Everything that should be given to you will not be short of a bit." While speaking, I sipped my tea leisurely, with a half-smile on my face, and my eyes were always on Zhao Wanqing.

We exchanged a few pleasantries, but what was quite strange was that she would look out the door from time to time, with no intention of getting up and leaving.

Hey, I understand that she just wants to meet her beloved "Brother Zhengxuan" here...

I couldn't help but shake my head and smile bitterly. At the same time, I turned my head to glance at the sky outside, muttering to myself: Logically speaking, Xiao Zhengxuan should have returned from court at this time, right?

Oh, if he doesn’t come back soon, I’ll have to find a way to get rid of this uninvited guest… Thinking of this, I couldn’t help feeling annoyed and my brows unconsciously frowned.

Just as I was frowning and thinking hard, Xiao Zhengxuan and Shiqi slowly walked into the yard.

Seeing them, I let out a long sigh of relief, and secretly sighed in my heart: "Oh my, this one-man show is really not easy to perform..."

On the other side, when Zhao Wanqing saw Xiao Zhengxuan step into the courtyard, her beautiful eyes instantly became bright, as if twinkling with stars.

Then, she quickly stood up and saluted to Xiao Zhengxuan gracefully. However, just as she was about to speak, her body suddenly became shaky, like a candle in the wind, and she fell towards Xiao Zhengxuan.

"Wanqing...what's wrong with you?" Xiao Zhengxuan was quick to catch Zhao Wanqing who was about to fall to the ground, and carefully helped her sit down on a chair nearby.

"Your Highness, I may have been exposed to the sun in the yard for too long, so I feel a little exhausted." Zhao Wanqing said softly, and at the same time deliberately pretended to be weak and powerless, which made people feel pity for her.

Xiao Zhengxuan held an exquisite brocade box in his hand and gently placed it in front of me. He raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at me with a puzzled and questioning look, as if to say, "What is going on?"

Facing his gaze, I could only shake my head helplessly, indicating that I knew nothing...

Then, Xiao Zhengxuan sat down next to me and continued the previous topic, asking, "The weather is getting hotter and hotter now, why are you still standing stupidly under the scorching sun?"

Zhao Wanqing glanced at me evasively, then quickly shifted her gaze to Xiao Zhengxuan and whispered softly, "My sister said that my residence is too gloomy, and told me to dry it in the sun more often. This way, I can give birth to a son for the prince as soon as possible... as soon as possible to continue the family line." As soon as she finished speaking, her cheeks flushed and she lowered her head shyly.

I glanced sideways inadvertently and saw that Xiao Zhengxuan's hand, which was holding the teacup, trembled slightly and the tea almost spilled out.

Then, he suddenly raised his head and looked straight at me. Facing this sudden gaze, I had to pretend nothing happened and slowly stretched out my hand towards the brocade box on the table.

Unexpectedly, just as my fingers were about to touch the brocade box, a large and powerful palm suddenly pressed heavily on it, accompanied by a crisp and loud sound. This sudden change startled Zhao Wanqing and I. We both widened our eyes at the same time, with a look of fear on our faces, staring straight at the person in front of us.

However, Xiao Zhengxuan seemed unaware of it. His expression was as calm as still water, and his heartbeat was as steady as a mountain.

He calmly moved the brocade box in his hand a little distance towards himself, and then said slowly: "According to the laws of our dynasty, if a concubine is pregnant, she must give birth later than the wife; if the wife is unable to bear children, then the son born by the concubine must respect the wife as his legal mother." After speaking, Xiao Zhengxuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, raised his eyebrows, and stared at me meaningfully.

At this moment, Zhao Wanqing had a face full of resentment, tears welling up in her eyes, and said: "I would never dare to have such thoughts! I came here today just to pay my respects to the princess, and it's only because I came a little earlier..." Her words were filled with endless grievances.

"Why is Princess making things so difficult for Wanqing? She came here to pay her respects to you out of respect for you. I really hope that you two can live in harmony and peace!" After Xiao Zhengxuan finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wanqing stood up immediately, with a flattering smile on her face, and bowed, saying, "I'm new here, and I'm not clear about the many rules of this mansion. If I do something inappropriate in the future, I beg you to give me some advice."

I smiled lovingly and responded softly, "That's only natural. After all, we are all family. There's no need to be so polite. You've worked really hard today. You should go back to your room and rest early."

"Yes~" She nodded slightly, raised her eyes tenderly, gazed at Xiao Zhengxuan lovingly, and said softly: "Then Wanqing will take her leave first."

"Well, I will come to visit you later." Xiao Zhengxuan responded stupidly.

Zhao Wanqing looked shy, nodded slightly, then turned and left.

It was not until I saw her step out of the courtyard gate that I breathed a sigh of relief and stretched out my hand to try to grab the exquisite brocade box placed next to Xiao Zhengxuan. I shouted with a smile on my face: "Haha, this is the reward given to me by my father and mother~ Let me see it quickly~"

Xiao Zhengxuan's face was filled with anger. He grabbed the box and shouted indignantly, "Princess, you are so bold that you actually asked me to have a child with someone else!"

When I heard this, I was shocked and quickly lowered my voice and shouted, "Ouch, keep your voice down!" At the same time, I covered his mouth in a panic and looked outside the yard in panic.
