I was flattered after crossing

When Xiao Zhengxuan and I entered the palace, we happened to see the Queen and Xiao Zhengchen talking in low voices, while the Emperor seemed unable to get a word in.

"Oh~ What rare treasures has mother added?" Xiao Zhengxuan asked curiously.

"Your son pays his respects to the Emperor, Father, and the Empress, Mother." I also bowed.

"Ah~ Xuan'er and Xiaoxu are back! Come and see what treasure Chen'er found for me!" The queen said with a smile, and carefully opened the paper in her hand.

After unfolding it, she happily handed it to Xiao Zhengxuan and showed it to him.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhengxuan subconsciously reached out his hand to take it, but the queen did not let go. Instead, she moved it back a little, protecting it lovingly and said, "Just look at it like this. This is going to be framed and kept as a treasure."

At this moment, the emperor couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Hahahaha, very good, now I am finally not the only one being left out?"

When I saw Xiao Zhengxuan's mouth corner raised, I knew that Xiao Zhengchen was going to be in trouble...

Xiao Zhengxuan questioned, "Is this really Xiaoyao Sanren's autograph? As far as I know, this Xiaoyao Sanren has a very strange personality. Let alone asking him to sign, sometimes even if I just want to discuss the future direction of the story with him, he will scold me and kick me out!"

"How could it be fake! This is the original one ~ I spent a lot of effort to get it from Xiaoyao Sanren!" The puppy was so anxious that he jumped up and down and kept yelling. The look of him baring his teeth and claws was so adorable that it made everyone fall in love with him.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhengxuan couldn't help but frowned: "Oh? So that's the case... But I still..."

"What are you going to pay back?" Xiao Zhengchen quickly interrupted his brother and turned to complain to the queen, "Mother! Look at him!"

"Alright, alright, stop making trouble." The Queen smiled and consoled, while carefully examining the calligraphy in front of her. "I have compared the handwriting before, and it is definitely written by Xiaoyao Sanren himself. All right, come and sit down!"

After everyone was seated, the queen looked around and suddenly asked, "Xiaoxu, why don't you see Miss Ling'er?"

"Reporting to your Majesty, Mother, Ling'er is worried that she will disturb our family reunion, so she is resting in the side hall now." I answered respectfully.

"Well~ That's great. What a considerate and sensible child." The queen nodded with satisfaction, then picked up the teacup and took a sip.

At this time, Xiao Zhengxuan said, "I have an important matter to report to my father and mother."

The emperor saw Xiao Zhengxuan's serious face, so he asked with concern: "Xuan'er, have you encountered any difficulties?"

The Queen also hurriedly agreed, "Yes, what could possibly stump our Xuan'er?"

Xiao Zhengxuan replied, "My father and mother, ever since Miss Ling'er went to the Rui Palace, Prime Minister Fu has been trying to find ways to insert people into my palace.

A few days ago, he even tried to stop them in the street and forcibly snatch Miss Ling'er away. After failing, he even planned a farce of "selling himself to bury his father". Fortunately, the princess was very smart and saw through their conspiracy and brought the woman back to the palace for questioning! "Xiao Zhengxuan said, frowning.

"Ah? There is such a thing! What happened next?" The queen opened her eyes wide in surprise, her face full of disbelief.

"After some interrogation, we discovered that the prime minister actually tried to kill Miss Ling'er! The girl who sold herself to bury her father was carrying poison - arsenic!" Xiao Zhengxuan stated the crux of the problem without any concealment.

"How outrageous! This is simply outrageous!" The emperor was so angry that he slammed the table and stood up.

Upon seeing this, the Queen quickly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, calm down. Don't be anxious. Listen to Xuan'er's words first."

Afterwards, Xiao Zhengxuan reported everything that happened that day to the emperor and the empress in detail.

"Okay! Okay! I originally wanted to tolerate him for a while longer, but I didn't expect that he would dare to extend his claws to Prince Rui's Palace. He is so bold. I will send his precious son to Lingnan tomorrow!" The emperor was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

"This time, we were able to see through Prime Minister Fu's conspiracy thanks to Xiaoxu. You are so smart." The Queen looked at me tenderly.

"Well, yes, Xuan'er chose a good marriage." The emperor also responded.

The Queen looked at me again and asked in confusion, "Xiaoxu, why aren't you wearing the pair of jade bracelets that I gave you a while ago? Don't you like them?"

After hearing this, my heart suddenly tightened. I went out in a hurry today, and after fixing my hair, I ran out in a hurry, with empty hands.

After all, it would be inappropriate not to wear a gift given by someone when you meet them again.

What's more, this is a priceless imperial green bracelet given to me by my mother-in-law.

“My dear mother, sometimes I don’t pay enough attention to the details and I may accidentally break it.

I remember when I was a child, my grandmother gave me an exquisite jade bracelet. However, one afternoon, when I was playing outside with my friends, I swung my arm and slammed it against the wall. There was a crisp sound, and the bracelet instantly broke into several pieces. Naturally, I was punished when I got home.

Today's scene is so noisy, I am worried that I might get excited and accidentally bump my bracelet again, which is really heartbreaking! "I told the Queen in detail about this experience in my childhood.

After hearing this, the queen couldn't help but laugh: "Oh, what's so strange about this? Who hasn't been beaten and scolded when they were young?

When I was a child, I once broke an antique vase from my grandfather, and then I divided the pieces with my friends around me. We agreed to use this as proof of recognition in the future, hahaha..." After the queen finished speaking, she laughed heartily again.

"Huh, the Queen really had a lot of playmates in her childhood!" said the Emperor with a slight sneer.

Xiao Zhengchen on the side also echoed: "Wow, wouldn't that mean there would be a lot of fragments!"

"Not a lot... well... not a few either..." The queen coughed lightly, somewhat unnaturally, trying to hide her embarrassment.

She quickly changed the subject and said, "Okay, let's not talk about me for now!" Then, the queen turned to Nanny Su beside her and ordered, "Go and bring up the gift I prepared for Xiaoxu!"

"Oh, it's right here. I'll get it right away." Nanny Su said as she walked behind the screen.

"Alas, I knew Xiaoxu loved making clothes, but I never thought she could do it so well!"

The queen looked at her gorgeous dress with great joy, her eyes full of admiration, "Even your father praised the colorful bird on this dress for being so vivid and lifelike!"

After she finished speaking, the Queen did not forget to glance at the Emperor, as if seeking his approval.

Sure enough, the emperor nodded slightly to show his approval, and echoed with a smile: "Yes, in all these years, this is the first time I have seen the queen so ecstatic about a piece of clothing~"

I quickly responded humbly, "As long as you like it, mother. If I see new and unique patterns in the future, I will definitely sew new clothes for you!" I couldn't help but feel that my visits to major museums over the years have not been in vain!

As she was speaking, I saw Nanny Su walking to the table with an exquisite tray in her hands and carefully placing it between Xiao Zhengxuan and me.

I looked closely and couldn't help but widen my eyes and exclaimed: "Shu brocade!"

As soon as I finished speaking, I couldn't wait to turn my head and look at the queen, my eyes full of disbelief.

The queen smiled and said softly, "This Shu brocade is indeed very precious. I have specially reserved two dark-colored ones, and these two brightly colored ones are given to you to take back and make clothes!"

I couldn't help but reach out my hand and feel the delicate texture of the pink-based flower-and-bird pattern closest to me. I couldn't let it go. My eyes were attracted by the blue-green treasure pattern next to it, and I couldn't help but salivate.

I quickly stood up, bowed to the queen, and said with tears of gratitude: "Shu brocade is so rare. Your Majesty actually thought of leaving two such beautiful pieces for me. I am really flattered!"

"Oh, child, you are still so distant with me. As long as you like me, it is more important than anything else!" The Queen smiled happily and her face was full of kindness.

At this time, the emperor also laughed loudly, stroking his beard and said generously: "Hahahaha, I didn't expect Princess Rui to love this cloth so much. In this case, if there are more tributes coming into the palace in the future, I will ask the Queen to give more to you."

"Your Majesty, I thank the Emperor and the Empress for their kindness!" I knelt down and kowtowed with joy, my gratitude overflowing with words.

"Oh, now our princess will probably have to stay in the room day and night. She often forgets to eat and sleep just to make this dress for our mother. Will I be alone and unable to sleep in the future?" Xiao Zhengxuan said sourly as he sat aside.

"Stop it!" I gently scolded him, pointed at the azure-colored Baoxianghua Shu brocade next to me, and said to him with a smile, "I'll use this piece of material to make you a waistcoat!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhengxuan looked at me with eyes wide open, and said in confusion: "Princess, are you taking advantage of me because I don't understand? As far as I know, making a waistcoat doesn't require such a large amount of cloth~" As he said this, he did not forget to reach out and pat the batch of cloth to express his doubt.

"Hahaha, Your Majesty, look at this young couple, they are so in love." Seeing this, the Queen couldn't help but smile with relief and turned her head to look at the Emperor.

"Well, yes, this is how a loving couple should be!" The emperor nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with what the queen said, and then turned his gaze to Xiao Zhengchen.

At this time, the Queen also followed the Emperor's gaze and looked at Xiao Zhengchen.

Xiao Zhengchen, who was enjoying the "dog food" sprinkled by his brother and sister-in-law, suddenly felt a thorn in his back...

Xiao Zhengchen OS: Can’t see me, can’t see me, can’t see me…

Xiao Zhengchen glanced to the left guiltily. His father and mother, who were sitting above him, were staring at him.

His heart suddenly skipped a beat: "So, those words like 'Look how loving this couple is' were said to me..."

Xiao Zhengchen's eyes rolled around, and he quickly raised his head to look at his father and mother, pretending to be surprised and said, "Oh, I just encountered something very interesting in the garden, and I really want to share it with you!"

"Oh? What's the interesting story? Tell it to me and the Queen quickly." The emperor also echoed.

Xiao Zhengchen continued with great joy, "I was just enjoying the flowers with my brother, sister-in-law and Miss Ling'er at the pavilion in the middle of the lake, when I suddenly heard a clear and pleasant female voice saying that she wanted to find my brother.

When I looked closely, I realized that this was the pretty girl who had caused my sister-in-law to faint at the lotus banquet hosted by my aunt!" He widened his eyes and described the scene with his hands and feet gesticulating.

"What?" The emperor was greatly surprised. "I only knew that the eldest princess hosted a banquet a few days ago, but I didn't hear that there was such a commotion!"

I secretly gave Xiao Zhengchen a thumbs up in my heart. He was really smart! What a good way to divert the trouble away~

In a blink of an eye, everyone's criticism was directed at Xiao Zhengxuan.

"Xuan'er, who is this woman? She actually dares to harass the princess again and again. Not to mention that she is a prince, even if she is from an ordinary family, which husband would tolerate a concubine bullying his wife like this? Moreover, she is a person who knows etiquette!" The emperor questioned Xiao Zhengxuan angrily.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Zhengxuan immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I really didn't know this girl! It was not until the day of the Lotus Banquet that I learned that she was the daughter of the Censor."

"Your Majesty, please calm down! From what I have seen, this woman today seems to be trying to curry favor with the royal family. I have asked her many questions, but she was evasive and vague in her words. She only said that they had met once at a childhood banquet. But even I have no impression of her, so my brother naturally would not recognize her!" Xiao Zhengchen hurriedly explained to the emperor.

At this moment, Xiao Zhengxuan was still kneeling on the ground, fiercely casting a look full of resentment at his brother. Seeing this, Xiao Zhengchen's heart trembled...

"Oh, that's right. Chen'er told me about it when she came back from the Princess' banquet that day. I told her not to worry at that time. With Xuan'er's personality, if he really had a childhood sweetheart or someone he loved, how could we not know anything about it?" The Queen held the Emperor's arm and comforted him softly.

The emperor thought what the queen said was very true, and thought to himself: "Yes, my Jade Qilin... the chef in my imperial kitchen who makes Crystal Dragon and Phoenix Cake..."

At this time, the emperor and the empress's eyes fell on Xiao Xiaoxu, who was leisurely eating melon on the side, and a trace of pity appeared in their eyes.

I felt a little confused by their looks, and wondered in my heart: "Huh? Why are you looking at me? Do you want me to express my opinion now?"

So I reported to the emperor and the empress in all seriousness: "My father and mother, I have also asked about that woman.

She said that she got help from the prince by chance when she was traveling in the suburbs, and she was full of gratitude. But the prince seemed to have forgotten this incident. But if the woman really had been in love with the prince for a long time, she should not have been able to tolerate anyone else in her eyes for so many years.

After discussing with the prince, I decided that after we get married, we can take this woman to the palace and properly settle her down." After saying that, I looked at the emperor and the queen sincerely, waiting for their response.
