I was flattered after crossing

After listening to Xiao Zhengxuan's words, the Queen nodded repeatedly, expressing her agreement, "Xuan'er is very reasonable! However, what is worrying is that even though the Emperor knows that this girl is a fake, he is still obsessed with seeing the figure of Miss Ling'er. Because of this, if she is left in the palace, it may cause many unexpected consequences, which is really frightening!"

"I think that mother doesn't need to worry too much. Given father's character and the way he deals with people, he will never easily let someone who only looks similar to him destroy the precious memories he has of that person deep in his heart. After all, everyone is unique, and even the most similar appearances cannot replace the true soul and emotions." Xiao Zhengxuan continued to analyze carefully.

"Not only that, this Miss Ling'er has a close relationship with the princess, and they are close friends. Father will definitely not let her enter the palace considering this relationship. Mother, don't worry."

"That's right, the eldest prince is indeed very thoughtful and considerate! I have been trying to persuade him for a long time these days, but I have never gotten to the point. Your Majesty, we don't have to worry about this matter. Our birthday is coming soon, please see if there is anything wrong, I will go and urge them!" Nanny Su quickly changed the topic that had been bothering her for a long time.

"Well~ Xuan'er is right. I agree with him and will not think about it anymore. To be honest, even if there is a new person, it doesn't matter. After all, there are three thousand beauties in the harem, one more and one less won't make much. It's just that the harem has only been a little peaceful in the past year, and I really don't want anyone to stir up trouble and make the atmosphere chaotic. If another restless person comes and cries and complains to me all day long, I will never be able to live in peace! In this way, won't the quiet days that I have worked so hard to get be broken again? Thinking of this, I can't help but feel annoyed. As for my birthday, it seems that they have done it almost right, after all, they hold it every year. Don't worry too much." The queen picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea with peace of mind.

"Xuan'er! Bring the princess to the palace to see me earlier that day. Speaking of which, I really get along quite well with your princess! I remember that you specifically asked me to pretend that you don't like you very much. Now it seems that such a disguise may not be able to be maintained for long." After saying that, the queen stared at Xiao Zhengxuan with an expression as if she was watching a show.

Xiao Zhengxuan's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, his eyes fell gently on his mother, and he said softly: "Mother, you just need to treat me coldly, but when you get along with the princess, please do as you please, without worrying too much."

When the queen mother heard what Xiao Zhengxuan said, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. She nodded slightly, indicating that she understood what her son meant.

"In recent days, the princess has been working hard to prepare a birthday gift for her mother. She has been buried in the mansion all day, carefully making the gift, striving for perfection.

I should return to the mansion now. Because the princess specifically asked me to pay close attention to the progress of the hairpin she gave to the queen mother. This hairpin was designed by the princess herself and made of the most precious materials. It contains her deep respect and blessings for the queen mother. "After Xiao Zhengxuan finished speaking, he stood up and saluted to the queen and prepared to leave.

"Alas, my love for her is not in vain! In this way, I can wait for my birthday gift with peace of mind." The queen said happily.

After leaving the palace, Xiao Zhengxuan went to Fenglin Pavilion to check the progress of the hairpin.

Ruiwangfu Begonia Garden

Lei Lei grabbed a handful of dried apricots and ate them while saying, "Your cooking skills are really good. I think you have improved a lot."

I didn't look up, still sewing the last bit of clothing: "Of course, after coming here, I went to the prince's silk shop, there is a skilled master there. I have been learning from him!"

"Hey, is their material expensive?"

"It's about the same as ours," I pointed to the cabinet in the distance and nodded, "Open that cabinet and take a look. That batch of materials costs 20 taels of silver, which is pretty much the same price as ours. The advantage is that there are no fakes!" I said to her.

She fumbled with the material and said, "Indeed, are you planning to make a cheongsam? You've already cut it but haven't started yet?"

"Yes, that's right. I originally wanted to make a cheongsam, but then the prince said that the queen's birthday was coming up. I wanted to help him ease the parent-child relationship in their family, so I thought that I must carefully prepare a special gift. Then I asked our silk shop to find someone to weave this Zhai bird pattern, hoping that the queen will like it when she wears it, and thus will like Xiao Zhengxuan more~" After saying that, I sighed.

Lei Lei folded the cloth and put it back, then closed the cabinet door and walked back: "Hey, when I heard you talk about his family the other day, I felt sorry for the prince. How could his parents be so partial? This kind of differential treatment will not only hurt the relationship between the children, but it may also cause irreparable psychological trauma to the neglected child.

Growing up in such a family environment, how much pressure and pain the unloved child must endure! Watching others get more love and resources, while he can only endure silently, how unwilling and resentful he must feel in his heart. "Leilei said angrily.

"That's right, so I decided to help him? When I agreed to marry him, it was a cooperative plan between the two of us and we both got what we wanted, but now it feels like our relationship is weird... Oh my god, it hurts!" I couldn't help but scream.

Seeing this, Leilei, who was standing by, quickly grabbed my hand and said, "Hurry up! Let's go flush the water and clean the wound!" After that, she pulled me towards the washbasin.

I quickly waved my hands and said, "It's okay, it's okay. It's normal to get pricked by a needle when sewing clothes. It's not a big deal!"

After washing my hands and returning home, I just picked up the needle and was about to continue sewing when I heard Leilei say loudly behind me: "Do you have to do it now? This material is difficult to sew. Can't you wait until your hands are better?" Her tone revealed dissatisfaction and helplessness.

I held up the clothes and said, "Look, it's less than ten centimeters and it's already sewn. It's okay. I don't use my index finger to pinch the fabric, I use my middle finger."

"Oh, look at what you are capable of. After piercing your middle finger, you still have to pierce your ring finger! I really don't know what to do with you!" She rolled her eyes and sat next to me, watching me continue sewing clothes.

Xiao Zhengxuan happened to push the door open at this moment and asked with a worried look on his face: "Princess, how did you get your hand cut?" His voice revealed concern.

"Your princess pierced her hand while making clothes, and she refused to wait until her hand healed before continuing to make clothes~" Lei Lei said sarcastically~

I turned my head to look at Lei Lei and said with a smile: "Leile, please stop making fun of me. I just want to finish the clothes as soon as possible."

Xiao Zhengxuan walked over to me, looked at my fingers with a frown, and said softly, "Why are you so careless? What if it gets infected?"

I waved my hands, signaling him not to worry, "It's okay, I've already rinsed it with water, it won't get infected."

He looked at me, his eyes full of helplessness and doting, "You are always so stubborn. Well, since you want to continue, then go ahead, but be careful."

He turned and left, and I picked up the needle and thread again and continued to sew clothes. Leilei sat beside me, occasionally interrupting a few words, but generally speaking, she was very quiet and did not disturb me.

After a while, the clothes were sewn. I lifted the clothes with satisfaction and looked at them carefully, thinking that my craftsmanship was quite good. Lei Lei also came over to look and nodded, "Well, not bad, at least better than I thought."

I smiled proudly and said, "Of course, my craftsmanship is really good."

At this moment, Xiao Zhengxuan pushed the door open again, holding a bowl of medicine in his hand, "Princess, this is medicine for reducing swelling and relieving pain. Soak your hand in it and you will feel better."

I looked at him, and a warm feeling welled up in my heart. I took the medicine bowl, looked at him deeply, pursed my throat and smiled, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty~"

He looked at me tenderly, his eyes full of affection, "Princess, since you are already my wife, I will naturally take good care of you."

We smiled at each other, and at that moment, time seemed to stand still.

"Cough cough cough! Woof woof woof~ Eh? Why are there dogs barking when everything is fine? So weird~" Leilei said, looked around and went to the yard.

Xiao Zhengxuan asked me with a puzzled look on his face: "Why is Miss Leilei barking like a dog?"

"It's because she ate the dog food! Hahahaha~ I was the one who ate her dog food in the beginning, now it's time for the situation to change!" Seeing Xiao Zhengxuan still with a puzzled look on his face, I explained with a smile: "In our place, showing off the dog food is actually a way of expressing love. When two people love each other very much, they will do some seemingly childish but loving things, or make some intimate movements. These behaviors are like 'showing off the dog food' to the people around them, which means that they are sharing their love and letting the people around them feel their happiness."

After hearing this, Xiao Zhengxuan nodded thoughtfully, "I see, this is really a special way to express love. So, Princess, are you willing to show off your love with me?"

"Hahahaha, I'm willing to~ Let's torture them!" I answered with a smile.

I don't know where Xiao Zhengxuan took out a brocade box from, opened it and showed it to me, saying, "Princess, take a look, is the hairpin you designed before like this?"

I took the brocade box and looked at him in surprise: "So fast? But I didn't expect that the prince could actually have it made, and it is so exquisite, it is really breathtaking." I took out the hairpin and looked at it carefully. I saw that the main body of the hairpin was a phoenix with its wings spread out, about to fly. The feathers of the phoenix were inlaid with gold threads, and the eyes of the phoenix were inlaid with two rubies. The whole hairpin exuded a dazzling light, which would attract people at first sight.

"The Queen will like this, right?" I asked him nervously while holding the hairpin.

"Don't worry, Princess. Mother will definitely like it." Xiao Zhengxuan said gently.

"Princess, is there anything else you need to prepare?" the prince asked with concern.

I shook my head, took a deep breath, and carefully put the hairpin back into the brocade box. Then, I looked up at the prince and said with a smile, "No, everything is ready. We just need to wait for the Queen's birthday, meet her, present this hairpin and dress to express our respect and blessings."

The prince nodded, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes. He patted my shoulder and said, "Princess, you have done a great job. I believe that my mother will like this gift."

"I hope that this gift can enhance the relationship between you and the Queen, and make your relationship closer. Don't be silly all day long and don't know how to fight for it. You must know that the crying child gets the milk! I don't believe that we can't compete with your stinky brother with me here!" I vowed to Xiao Zhengxuan.

Xiao Zhengxuan lowered his head and said nothing: "..."

"Oh, they have already dealt with the tiger skins from our last autumn hunt. Princess, do you want to send them to the mansion or the silk shop?" Xiao Zhengxuan carefully changed the subject.

"So fast!" I exclaimed.

"Yes, it's well processed, the fur is plump and the color is bright." Xiao Zhengxuan mentioned this with a satisfied smile on his face. He knew that the princess always liked tiger skin, and the result this time should satisfy Xiao Xiaoxu.

"Then send it to our silk shop. I don't know how to work with animal fur, so I need to ask Uncle Li for help. It just so happens that I plan to take Leilei to the silk shop tomorrow to have a look~" I answered with a smile.

"Okay." Xiao Zhengxuan said to Xiao Xiaoxu with gentle eyes.

Silk Shop

"Boss! Here I come!" I happily carried Leilei to the door of the silk shop. As soon as I stepped through the threshold, I heard an enthusiastic shout from inside: "Hey, the princess is here!"

Shopkeeper Xu came out with a big smile on his face. He held my hand tightly, his joy was beyond words. Then, he dragged Lei Lei into the store and began to introduce her to others: "This is my good friend, Ling'er. I hope you will take care of her in the future!"

"Of course, of course! The princess' friends are our silk shop's friends!" Shopkeeper Xu spoke sincerely and enthusiastically. While speaking, he winked at the new employees around him, signaling them to come over and say hello to Lei Lei and me.

Seeing this, the employees came forward one after another and greeted us respectfully. The scene was very harmonious.

At this moment, a customer with an angry face suddenly rushed into the store. He was holding a freshly washed piece of clothing tightly in his hand and yelled at the top of his voice: "Boss, what kind of rags are these clothes you sell? They fade as soon as they are touched by water! I spent so much money to buy clothes, but they become like this after washing! You are a bunch of liars!"

His roar immediately attracted the attention of other guests, and everyone came forward to watch the excitement. Seeing that the situation was not good, Shopkeeper Xu hurriedly stepped forward, smiling and sincerely apologizing to the angry guest: "I am really sorry, sir, I have caused you trouble. Please don't be angry and calm down first. Could you please let me see the clothes?"
