I was flattered after crossing

Seeing that the door was open, I trotted a few steps, dropped my suitcase and walked in. As soon as I entered the room, I saw a lot of delicious food that I couldn’t name on the round table. There was also a bowl of ice pear water next to it. The pear slices in the bowl were soaked until they were crystal clear. The sight made my mouth water.

Without thinking too much, I reached out and took the bowl of icy pear juice and poured it into my mouth.

The cold and sweet pear juice flows slowly from the tip of the tongue down the throat to the stomach, and it feels like every cell in the body has come alive again. "Ah~ Comfortable! I can do it again!"

I put the bowl down and saw the prince leaning leisurely on the Huanghuali armchair, looking at me expressionlessly.

"Thank you for taking me in. Your Highness is really a prophet. He knew that I would return empty-handed today. He knew that I was in a very bad state and prepared food for me. I couldn't find the crossing point today. I may need to stay in your house for a few days. I should be able to leave after the weather changes in a few days." I bowed deeply to him and thanked him. I had to take the initiative and block his words of rejection. After saying this, I shouldn't be kicked out today.

Xiao Zhengxuan stood up and said, "Who allowed you to... Never mind, let's have dinner first." Then he leaned back.

I raised my eyebrows at him and nodded vigorously, saying, "Have you eaten yet? Do you want to eat together?"

I saw him looking down at a piece of jade and he didn't seem to want to pay any attention to me.

I thought the same thing. How could a prince eat with others? I am not that kind of person. I just turned my head and ate by myself.

For me, who has been hungry for a whole day, seeing this table full of delicious dishes, I wanted to open my mouth and pour all the dishes into it. It's true that you only regret not having enough when you need it.

It didn't take long for me to wolf down the meal, but unfortunately I was so hungry that I couldn't savor the dishes I had never eaten before.

After finishing the meal and wiping my mouth, I turned my head and blinked at Xiao Zhengxuan: "My Lord, I am full. You should still have something to ask me, right?"

He looked at me for a long while before he slowly spoke: "What do you mean by the change in the world?"

"Oh, that's what I guessed too, because there were two key points when I traveled over from my world. One was the toilet, which is the toilet here. The second point was that after I came out of the toilet, I encountered a strong wind. Although the wind was so strong that I couldn't open my eyes, it stopped soon." I replied.

"But the sky was clear yesterday and there was no strong wind. You encountered the wind, and we should have encountered it too. If what you said is true, these two opportunities are probably not the key to your return." His voice when he said this was just like him, cold and rigorous.

A focused man is the most handsome! The TV series never lied to me!

"Your Highness is not only a man of heavenly beauty, but also a man of unrivalled talent. He is truly a handsome young man, as clever as a god!" I wonder which man can stand such flattery! Seeing that the Prince's pretending to be calm was somewhat loose, the tips of his ears gradually turned red!

Sure enough, he is a younger brother. Hehe, then it will be no problem for me to stay here! The plan is successful~

After a moment, he regained his impenetrable expression and said to me calmly, "You can stay, but I still have doubts about your identity. If I think of anything, I will summon you for questioning."

I was delighted: "Okay, don't worry, I'll be there whenever you call!"

"Also, I don't keep idle people in my palace. What can you do for the palace?" I stared at him blankly, wondering: How could such a ruthless word come out of this handsome guy's mouth, and let me work. Minus points, minus points, there is really no free lunch in the world.

I just stopped being oppressed by capitalism, and now I am enslaved by feudal society. I finally traveled through time, but why am I still an NPC?

But what can I do? I can just cook...

Seventeen had been craning his neck to listen outside, and when he heard that I wanted to keep her in the mansion, he rushed in anxiously. He didn't care about etiquette, and took two or three steps forward and asked Xiao Zhengxuan in a low voice: "Master, do you really want to keep this woman?"

Xiao Zhengxuan didn't look at Seventeen, but looked up at me instead.

I stared with my eyes wide open, a puzzled look on my face. What? You don't want to answer, so you want me to answer?

I've praised you for a long time. If you don't let me stay, you'll lose face. And then Seventeen will come in and take a nap and make things difficult for you?

Do you want me to give up and leave?

Are you kidding me? My sister has lived for 26 years in vain. Are my two brothers playing double-act with me?

I stood up, touched the first pair of buttons of my long gown, pursed my throat and said to Seventeen with a smile: "Brother Seventeen, please ask a maid to get me a bucket of water. I want to take a bath. I have been outside all day and I am sweating all over. I feel uncomfortable~" I unbuttoned my clothes and walked towards him. As expected, before the first button was unbuttoned, Seventeen rushed out like an arrow on a string. Only a shameless voice lingered in the study.

Xiao Zhengxuan and I smiled at each other. Seeing his relaxed smile made ripples in my heart, which was like a lake of stagnant water.

So he said frankly: "Your Majesty should really smile more, you look so handsome when you smile."

After hearing this, although his expression was unclear, he did not ask me any more questions. He smiled a little and said, "Miss Xiao, you must be tired after running around all day. Go back and rest early. I will send someone to help you take care of everything you need."

I thanked him quickly: "I will prepare some of my special skills for you tomorrow. If you can use them, please feel free to do so! I will do my best until my death!" I said to Xiao Zhengxuan passionately.

He smiled and teased me, "That's not necessary. I won't let anyone in the palace die. Let's go back to the courtyard where you lived yesterday."

"Okay, I'll take my leave, Your Majesty, and go to bed early~" After saying that, I happily pulled my suitcase and walked towards the courtyard. After passing through the corridor, I saw gurgling water, overlapping rockery, and shady green trees everywhere.

Such scenery is really refreshing, and now that I have found a place to live, I am in a great mood!

Looking at the familiar road under my feet and the buildings on both sides, I knew I was almost there. I looked up and saw the words "Haitangyuan" carved on the moon-shaped door not far ahead.

Thinking about it, I didn’t even have time to see the name of the palace clearly the day before yesterday, let alone the place where I’m temporarily staying. It turns out it has such a beautiful name.

As expected, I saw crabapple trees planted on both sides of the path when I entered the yard. It was a pity that it was July now. The crabapple flowers had already faded. I thought that when the crabapple flowers bloomed, the scenery here must be beautiful.

After walking through a short stone path, I arrived at the house I stayed in yesterday. I walked in and went straight to the bed to lie down and rest. Now I have to think about how to live in the future. If I have the chance to go back, I will go back, but if I really can't go back, what should I do?

Before I could think much, I heard a knock on the door: "Miss Xiao, I'm here to bring you some water." A gentle and clear voice came.

I immediately stood up and walked out quickly to open the door for her. When I opened the door, I saw that it was Xiao Cui who was scared unconscious by me yesterday.

When she saw me bowing awkwardly, I immediately went over to her and apologized, "I'm really sorry for what happened yesterday. The thing on my face is called a facial mask. It can hydrate and brighten your skin. I didn't mean to scare you."

After listening to my explanation, she finally felt relieved, relaxed her shoulders and was not as tense as before.

After she left, I took a quick shower and then tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.

I might as well get up and go to the desk to write down my specialties. The more I write, the more places I can use them. The safer I will be during this time here. After all, this is the palace. As Xiao Zhengxuan said, can I let the people in my own palace suffer?

I recalled how confident he was when he said this just now, and I couldn't help laughing. This little prince is quite interesting.

next day

It feels so nice to open my eyes again amid the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers!

It’s great to have breakfast as soon as I wake up. When I was working as a slave in the past, I had to wash up immediately after opening my eyes, wipe my face, and then rush downstairs to buy breakfast. I had to catch the subway in a hurry and started a miserable day of life as a social animal.

Thinking of this, I took a big bite of the pear blossom cake. Mmm~ my mouth was full of the fragrance of pear~ so comfortable!

After breakfast, I wanted to go to the prince to hand in my resume, but I remembered that I only had two sets of clothes that I could wear out here, and they were all dirty and I had no replacement. I was afraid of disturbing the people in the palace if I wore a T-shirt. So I found Xiao Cui and borrowed a set of her clothes. I also learned how to do a heart-shaped bun. Now, as long as I don't talk, I can seem to fit in perfectly with this world.

I took my resume and trotted to the prince's study, but no one was there. The servant said the prince was not there at the moment.

That's right, doesn't the prince have to go to court? I turned around and ran into Seventeen who was holding a piece of cloth.

Seventeen looked at me in shock for a moment and said, "It's you! Why are you wearing a maid's clothes?"

"I have washed all the clothes I can see, so I borrowed a set from Xiao Cui." She looked carefully at his hand and exclaimed, "Oh! Isn't this my green Ruyi brocade?" She touched it and said, "My dear little baby, you can't bear to leave me, right? So you come to find me."

"Do you really like it? Not for anything else?" Seventeen asked.

"Of course, I saw it yesterday but I didn't buy it because I didn't have 20 taels of silver." I haven't taken my hands off the cloth yet.

"Who chose this cloth? You have really good taste. Is it your princess? What kind of clothes does she want to make? Can you spare 3 meters for me?" I asked with an eager look and a sincere tone.

Seventeen was furious: "Don't talk nonsense, my prince hasn't even married yet, how can there be a princess!"

I asked in surprise, "Don't you usually get married in your teens? I see that the prince is in his early twenties, so he should have children running around."

"Tsk! How could my prince be like others? The prince has been with the army since he was 16 years old. He has fought in many battles in the past few years and made great achievements. He just returned to the imperial city this year. The emperor admired his bravery and wisdom and was capable of taking on important tasks, so he named him King Rui. This is the first among the princes of this dynasty!" It seemed that if Seventeen continued talking, his arrogant neck would stretch into a giraffe.

"Wow, wow, so awesome! The prince is truly extraordinary!" I really didn't know what to say, so I just echoed and flattered him.

I thought to myself, you silly berber (second tone), your prince has won so many battles outside, and he was crowned king as soon as he came back. He is brave and resourceful and capable of taking on important tasks. Isn't this a big target? He has not been in the imperial city for the past few years, and the various relationships inside are complicated and turbulent. It may be difficult for him to live a peaceful life in the future...

I couldn't help curling my lips. "What's with that expression? Don't you believe it?" Seventeen's eyes almost popped out.

I quickly waved my hands and said, "No, no, how could I not believe it? Your Highness is wise, brave, and intelligent! If Your Highness had a group to praise you, you would definitely be the group leader."

"Oh, by the way, you just said that your family doesn't have a princess, but does your family have concubines or maids? Anyway, I just want to find the owner of this cloth to ask for some. Tell me who it is and I'll go and beg him." Winked at Shiqi?

"No one else wants it, so it was originally meant to be given to you...You said you didn't have money, but the gilded hairpin on your head is very valuable. Why didn't you exchange it with the shopkeeper? Besides, there is a pawnshop next to it, and you could have pawned it to buy more than just this piece of cloth." Seventeen finally asked his doubts.

I took off the hairpin on my head and looked at it and said, "Can it really be so valuable?"

Seventeen nodded vigorously.

An idea suddenly occurred to me: "Since no one wants this cloth, can I exchange this hairpin for the cloth in your hand?"

Seventeen widened his eyes and asked me, "Are you serious?"

I held the hairpin in front of him and motioned him to take it. He took the hairpin with one hand and put it in his arms and said, "This cloth is too heavy for you to carry. I'll give it back to you."

"That's great, Brother Seventeen is so considerate, he will definitely meet a kind-hearted girl in the future." Seventeen became more and more shy. I praised him with a guilty conscience, afraid that he would figure out something and take out the hairpin to look at it.

That was the imitation gilded peach blossom hairpin that I bought from Pinxixi for 68 yuan... If I really took it to a pawn shop, I guess I would have to ask the boss to print it out.

Shiqi helped me return the fabric and went back happily. Looking at his happy back, I felt more and more uneasy... I deceived such a naive child...

Let's see if I can go out of the house to work and earn some money in a few days, and then return the money for the cloth to him?

When Xiao Zhengxuan came back, he saw Seventeen humming a tune and sitting at the stone table in the yard, looking at something carefully.

"What are you looking at? I haven't seen you so happy in a long time." Xiao Zhengxuan leaned over to look at his hand.

"Master! You're back!" As he said that, he poured a cup of tea for Xiao Zhengxuan and handed it to him.

"Master, you said before that I only know how to fight and need to learn other skills. But I did a business today and made a lot of money! Look!" He held the hairpin in both hands and handed it to Xiao Zhengxuan like offering a treasure.

Xiao Zhengxuan weighed the hairpin, then looked it over in the sunlight. He calmly asked, "Did she use this to exchange material with you?"

"Your Highness! Do you have all the magical powers now?" Seventeen asked in amazement!

Begonia Garden

I just asked Xiao Cui for the needlework supplies and I am ready to show off my skills. I will make myself a traditional flat-cut one-piece cheongsam first!

I was squatting on the ground cutting cloth when I heard a familiar voice shouting from not far away in the yard: "Xiao Xiaoxu, how dare you lie to me!"
