I was flattered after crossing

"Okay~ It's getting late, let's go back to the palace~" I packed my clothes and left the inner room first.

Xiao Zhengxuan followed out from behind, unable to suppress the corners of his mouth curling up and chuckling.

The day of the Lotus Festival came in a blink of an eye. I got up early and took out my precious suitcase to find the makeup and started to put on makeup. Today is an important occasion, so I have to pay attention to it. I put on full makeup and wear a pair of contact lenses. It matches my flat green Song Dynasty style dress, which is very elegant and generous. This skirt makes me look like smoke and mist when I walk, and it is as elegant as a fairy.

Combined with Xiao Zhengxuan's outfit, she really has the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix.

When Xiao Zhengxuan came in, I was putting the hairpins I bought from Pin Xixi on my head in front of the bronze mirror.

Thinking he was here to rush me, I said, "Wait a moment, it will be there soon!" Then I turned my head to look at him.

"No hurry." He came over and placed a mother-of-pearl jewelry box next to me, "I found you a set of headgear that should match your outfit today. Princess, take a look."

I looked up at him in surprise! He nodded and asked me to open it.

I opened the box by unbuttoning the copper buckle. I was shocked. How can I describe it? It was like I belonged to this museum. All the items were made with kingfisher feather craftsmanship, including butterfly kingfisher feathers, peony tassel kingfisher feather hairpins, gilded gourd kingfisher feather hairpins, butterfly flower kingfisher feather hairpins inlaid with rubies, and so on.

I looked up at him again and asked, "Are all these just given to me?"

Xiao Zhengxuan nodded with a smile in his eyes.

Isn't this a good fortune? I quickly turned around and looked in the mirror to remove these cheap things from my head! My sister is wearing real jadeite today!

"Will the princess go back to wearing a bun?" He stood behind me and asked me in the mirror.

Shaking his head, "No, I only know these two, and one of them I learned from Xiao Cui here."

"Then let me help you. This bun can perfectly match the kingfisher headdress." As he said that, he raised his hand to help me with my hair.

I was so happy that someone helped me: "Okay, okay, thank you, Your Majesty."

"Isn't it a husband's duty to dress up his wife?" As he said this, his hand that was stroking my hair accidentally touched my neck. I dodged it because I felt itchy.

It was done in a short while, and I praised him for his cleverness. He selected two filigree butterflies and a gilded gourd with kingfisher feathers and helped me put them on.

"Take a look, do you like it?" A gentle voice came from above my head.

I looked at myself in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction.

"I can't say I'm stunningly beautiful, but I'm not a bad example of a peerless beauty either! And it's thanks to Your Highness's cleverness that he gave me such a nice hairstyle. It's just like our popular domineering president!" I looked at him with a smile.

He frowned "What is a domineering president?"

"They are big bosses who are rich and powerful. Usually when they ask girls out, they give them clothes and jewelry. Some also take care of the dressing, but not many do it themselves." I raised my eyes and saw Xiao Zhengxuan looking down, thinking about something.

Seeing that he was silent, I immediately said, "The headpieces you gave me are of higher specifications than those given by the overbearing president. In our place, this bit of jade is not something that ordinary people can touch. The ones left are all antiques, private collections, or in museums. Moreover, kingfishers are national protected animals, and hunting is not allowed at all. So the things in my box are rare treasures!"

Look up at him, oh, don't make the child feel inferior with just one word.

Xiao Zhengxuan looked down along my hair accessories, and his eyes stopped at my earlobes. After a pause, he asked me, "Princess, don't you have pierced ears?"

"Oh, yes, I didn't do it because it hurt." This is the truth. I can't help it. I'm just afraid of pain and I get scared of needles.

He nodded and said, "Let's set off. It will take some time to reach the eldest princess's villa."

After getting on the carriage, I held a plate of crystal dragon and phoenix cake and ate while asking about the relationship between Xiao Zhengxuan and the eldest princess.

After all, today's host is the eldest princess, so it would be a good idea to find out more about the relevant information.

"The eldest princess is the biological sister of our father. She was very kind to me when I was a child and often played with me. The bun on the princess's head was taught to me by the eldest princess. She said that after I learned it, I could do the makeup for the lady. But later, my second brother..." The bright puppy eyes slowly lost their luster.

Who on earth is this second younger brother? How could he take away so much love from Xiao Zhengxuan?

I was so curious, so I asked him, "What's your second brother's name and how old is he now?"

"His name is Xiao Zhengchen, and he will be crowned in three years."

"Oh, so that's it!" I thought about the words he used to describe his younger brother these days, and guessed that his second younger brother should be a sixteen or seventeen-year-old high school student who is good at studying, sunny and cheerful, has high emotional intelligence, and is very pleasing to others.

Uh...it seems that these conditions combined make it hard to dislike them.

"My second younger brother should also go to the Lotus Banquet today. He is usually naughty, so if he says anything to make you unhappy, just tell me and I will not let you suffer any loss!" Xiao Zhengxuan looked at me seriously and said.

Could it be that his second brother has become arrogant because he has all the advantages?

Yes, nowadays, if you have a good family background, good character and academic performance, and a good personality, you will be used to being treated like a star, so you will have a temper.

I patted his hands and said, "Don't worry, why would I bother with a child?" I winked at him to reassure him.

With a puff, I suddenly laughed.

Xiao Zhengxuan looked at me with a questioning look on his face.

I said, "I just remembered that when we first met, Seventeen threw me into the carriage with a cloth stuffed in my mouth. Hahahaha, just think how embarrassing that must have been!"

"I've never seen a girl who can laugh heartily when talking about embarrassing things in the past." He teased me.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about... Not many people saw it anyway. You're not a stranger, so it's okay." He continued to eat snacks.

Soon they arrived at the princess's villa.

After getting off the carriage, Seventeen asked, "Is it hot in the carriage, Your Majesty? Why is your face so red?"

Xiao Zhengxuan coughed lightly: "No problem."

As soon as we got off the carriage, we followed the servants to pay our respects to the eldest princess.

When I entered the main hall, I saw a woman in a purple brocade robe. She must be the eldest princess. I immediately lowered my head and stood with Xiao Zhengxuan.

"Xuan'er pays his respects to his aunt." He stood up and bowed to the eldest princess.

I wondered if it was inappropriate for me to stand too!

Why didn’t you ask him how to salute?

Without thinking any more, I lifted my skirt and knelt down. I put my hands on the ground like in TV dramas, put my forehead on my hands, and whispered softly, "I pay my respects to the princess. May the princess be blessed with good health."

I only heard a gentle voice saying, "No need to be polite, get up. Since my brother has granted you two a marriage, you can just follow Xuan'er and call me aunt."

I nodded and was about to reply when I heard someone outside shouting, "Aunt, I'm here!"
