I was flattered after crossing

"Princess, do you want to meet Zhao Xiangning's younger brother?" Xiao Zhengxuan asked softly.

I took a half-hearted bite of the walnut and replied, "No, there's no need for that."

Xiao Zhengxuan then asked: "So what does the princess plan to do with this pair of siblings?"

After thinking for a while, I said, "I don't have any special ideas. Let's just send Zhao Xiangning and her brother to their brother, give them some money, and escort them out of the imperial city, but make sure they don't fall into the hands of the prime minister again. How about this arrangement?" After saying that, I turned to look at Xiao Zhengxuan, waiting for his opinion.

"Okay, everything will be as the princess says~" Xiao Zhengxuan responded.

At this time, Leilei suddenly said, "I need to moisten my throat first. I ate too many walnuts just now and my mouth feels dry." Before she finished speaking, she reached out and filled a cup of tea for herself.

Xiao Zhengxuan stared at Lei Lei curiously, obviously confused by her behavior.

Seeing this, I smiled and explained: "It's okay, she's going to learn to bark like a dog next~"

Xiao Zhengxuan was even more confused. He looked at Lei Lei in confusion and muttered to himself, "But I haven't shown my affection yet?"

Upon hearing this, Lei Lei couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of tea and coughed non-stop. She wiped the corners of her mouth while coughing and asked in surprise: "Puff... cough cough cough... cough cough cough... The prince actually understood the meaning of this!"

"I am also grateful to the princess for being willing to teach me." Xiao Zhengxuan said as he cracked two walnuts and handed them to me.

"Oh my, you two are so affectionate~ Unlike me who is alone... um" Before she finished her words, I quickly peeled a walnut and stuffed it into her mouth. Then, I smiled and said to her: "Don't worry, your Mr. Ye will probably be here soon. When the time comes, you can tease him as much as you want!"

As soon as she heard the three words "Mr. Ye", her eyes immediately widened, a satisfied smile appeared on her face, and she nodded repeatedly to show her agreement.

Xiao Zhengxuan, who was standing aside, looked at us helplessly and shook his head.

Just then, an exquisitely decorated carriage slowly drove out of Fengle Building.

Inside the car, Ye Lan asked Boss Liu with great joy: "Boss Liu, now you can tell me which mansion of the rich and powerful I should go to to make a living in the future, right?"

Boss Liu turned to look at him and said softly, "King Rui."

"What! Prince Rui...His Royal Highness Prince Rui!" Ye Lan widened his eyes and stared at Shopkeeper Liu with horror on his face.

I thought to myself: Isn't the legendary King Rui the invincible killer who killed countless enemies? Not long ago, there was even a picture book saying that King Rui liked men. It seems that in the story, the prince had a special liking for a certain musician... He had a big quarrel with the princess because of this... No, no, no, I can't think about it anymore!

"Shopkeeper Liu, then the person sitting next to Prince Rui must be Princess Rui, right?" Ye Lan looked at Shopkeeper Liu with a look of despair.

"Do you even need to ask?" Manager Liu glanced at him, then leaned against the car window with his hands on his shoulders.

"But the way the princess looked at me yesterday was completely different from the past, as if she wanted to eat me alive yesterday..." Ye Lan muttered to herself.

"It is said that the princess is not only extremely intelligent and quick-witted, but her true identity is even more mysterious. And I heard that it was the prince who went in person to ask the emperor for a marriage! You should know how high the vision of a person like Prince Rui is. You see, Prince Rui did everything the princess said last night. So, how could you hide those little tricks you played last night from her? I'm afraid she has seen through them a long time ago!" After Boss Liu finished speaking, he slowly opened his eyes that were originally pretending to be asleep, and looked at Ye Lan leisurely.

Ye Lan stared at Boss Liu in horror and blurted out, "What!"

"Didn't I remind you yesterday that you could name a price and they would naturally give you some money to settle the matter. Who would have thought that you just wouldn't listen... Well, in that case, you'll have to rely on yourself to take care of yourself in the future!" Shopkeeper Liu shook his head helplessly.

Before he finished speaking, Ye Lan fell to his knees and begged desperately, "Please, shopkeeper, save my life!"

However, Shopkeeper Liu just looked at him coldly and said, "If you really want to do that, you might as well kneel down and beg the prince and princess in the future. I really can't do anything about this matter!" After that, he no longer looked at him.

After hearing this, Ye Lan collapsed to the ground as if struck by lightning, muttering to himself: "What should I do now~"

"We have a history together, so I will give you some pointers, otherwise you will die within a few days of going in..." Shopkeeper Liu couldn't bear to look at Ye Lan's dying appearance, so he spoke.

Ye Lan looked at Shopkeeper Liu with tearful eyes: "Shopkeeper Liu, please tell me, I will obey you in everything. Please show me a way out!"

"Then let me ask you, why did you smash the piano last night?" asked Manager Liu.

"It's because Miss Ling'er beside the princess wants me to go back to the palace with her to play some music. During the tug of war..." A gleam of light suddenly flashed in Ye Lan's eyes.

"Have you thought it through?" asked Manager Liu.

Ye Lan seemed to have found hope to survive. "Thank you Manager Liu for your advice. I will definitely play a good song for Miss Ling'er when I enter the mansion."

"Okay, get up quickly, don't get your clothes dirty, that would be disrespectful~" Manager Liu patted Ye Lan on the shoulder.

"Oh! Okay!" Ye Lan stood up and straightened her clothes, then sat down again with peace of mind.

Half an hour later, Ye Lan was sitting in the front hall of the Rui Palace, feeling very nervous and uneasy. While silently praying that the prince and princess would treat her well, she couldn't help but think wildly: What kind of attitude should she adopt when they meet later?

Should he kneel down and admit his fault as soon as he met him, to show that he had deeply reflected on his mistakes; or should he hold his ground for the time being and wait and see what happens? Thinking back to the prince's always cold and unfriendly eyes, Ye Lan couldn't help but wonder in his heart: Could it be that those legendary picture books are all lies? Yes, the prince should not be into male homosexuality. Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

However, he suddenly remembered the scene when the princess always took the initiative to talk to him. The prince's face was quite ugly at that time! With this thought, his body, which had just relaxed, became extremely stiff again.

Alas, why did he have to provoke the princess's sister last night? Could it be that he was possessed by a ghost as others said? Otherwise, how could he be so bold as to cause such a farce! Wouldn't it be better for him to just play the piano in his own Fengle Tower...

Now it's all good, but I'm afraid the days ahead will be miserable and like walking on thin ice...

"Princess, you and Miss Leilei can go ahead. I will go back to the study to handle government affairs first~" Xiao Zhengxuan said softly.

I smiled and nodded in response: "Okay, let's have dinner together tonight, and we'll come find you after we take care of Ye Lan."

"Okay." After Xiao Zhengxuan finished answering, he turned around and walked towards the study with us.

Watching him leave, Lei Lei looked at me suspiciously and asked, "How are you going to deal with Ye Lan?"

I raised my eyebrows and teased her, "How about making some Japanese sashimi?"

"Ugh... stop making such disgusting remarks." Leilei pretended to vomit and pushed me aside with force.

I smiled helplessly and thought seriously. "Actually, I don't know what to do. Beating him up doesn't seem appropriate, after all, he's just a musician; but letting him stay in the mansion is not appropriate either, do we have to listen to his music every day?" I told Lei Lei my thoughts truthfully.

She nodded in agreement and said thoughtfully, "Yes, he is so handsome, it would be a pity to beat him up. And his hands for playing the piano are so beautiful~" When she said this, Leilei unconsciously revealed a bit of an infatuated expression.

"It's beautiful, but beauty can't make a living..." I talked to her nonchalantly while walking forward on my own.

"It can't be eaten, but you can look at it. It's nice just to look at it. Just leave it there and look at it." She stretched out her hands and gestured in the air, as if trying to express her inner thoughts.

Hearing her words, I couldn't help but shudder: "Why do you sound so scary to me..."

However, at this moment, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed through my mind: "Put it there...look at it...eh? Who says it can't be eaten! It can be eaten!" I turned my head excitedly and stared at Leilei.

Lei Lei looked at me helplessly and said, "Why do I feel like you're even more perverted than me?" Then, she looked me up and down with a strange look, "What on earth does that extremely excited look of yours mean..."

At this moment, I had no time to answer her question, my mind was full of the ideas I had just thought of.

"I was thinking about this a few days ago. Our silk shop's garment business has always been so prosperous. It would be even more perfect if we had a real model to display these beautiful clothes live in the store! After all, relying solely on those wooden models cannot fully show the charm of our clothes." My eyes lit up and I looked straight at Lei Lei, as if I saw unlimited business opportunities.

"The format of a certain audio anchor?" Leilei looked at me in astonishment, her mouth wide open, as if she couldn't believe what she heard.

I nodded quickly: "Yes, yes! Do you think this method is feasible? After all, we don't have online channels and can only rely on offline promotion. Compared with ours, the situation is very different."

I frowned and continued to express my inner worries. Lei Lei took over the conversation without hesitation and said, "Of course it's feasible! As long as it's a marketing method that has not been adopted yet, it's worth a try. Do you remember the clothing wholesale market we went to before? Aren't the shop owners there wearing the most popular hot items to attract customers? In fact, the principle is the same!"

After listening to Lei Lei's words, I suddenly understood and nodded in agreement. "Yes, yes, they don't have real people to be models anyway, so let's be the first to try it! Maybe it will work!" I stared at Lei Lei with anticipation in my eyes.

At this time, Lei Lei became more and more excited. She said with a beaming face: "I think this idea is absolutely reliable! Ye Lan is so handsome and has a well-proportioned figure. If he can show his talents in the silk shop from time to time..." At this point, she couldn't help turning her head to look at me, her eyes full of excitement.

As if I saw a bright future, I immediately echoed, "X Fubao has arrived!" As soon as the words fell, we both shouted out "One hundred million yuan" at the same time, then held each other's hands tightly and jumped up with excitement as if we had won the lottery.

"Let's go, let's go, hurry up, don't let our male anchor wait too long!" I pulled Leilei and walked forward quickly.

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, calm down first. After all, he is a musician. If he doesn't want to be a model, there's nothing we can do!" Leilei held me tightly and asked anxiously.

But I disagreed and answered confidently: "I don't believe it! As long as we give him enough silver, how could he be unhappy? If he really didn't care about money, he wouldn't have blackmailed you yesterday!" After saying that, I looked at Lei Lei with a determined light in my eyes.

Lei Lei listened to what I said, nodded thoughtfully, and murmured to herself: "Hmm...it seems that what you said does make sense..."

Then I said to her excitedly, "If he still refuses to agree, I will use my status as a princess to suppress him! Hehehe, let's see if he dares to be arrogant then!"

Then, Leilei couldn't wait to put her arm around me and walked towards the front hall at a brisk pace, muttering, "Come on, come on, take me with you! I want to experience this feeling of being bullied by the tiger today, too!"

Along the way, we two laughed like children, feeling particularly happy. Our laughter echoed in the corridor, attracting the passing maids and servants to look at us curiously.

In Xiao Zhengxuan's study, he sat upright in front of the desk. As soon as he put down the documents in his hand, his eyes turned to Seventeen who walked in from the door.

"You're back so soon?" Xiao Zhengxuan asked softly, with a hint of doubt in his tone. He had expected Seventeen to stay a little longer, but apparently things didn't go as planned.

Seventeen nodded silently in response, but a strange expression appeared on his face.

This expression made Xiao Zhengxuan alert, and he couldn't help asking: "Hmm...what's going on? Your face looks a little weird. What did the princess say to Ye Lan?"

Xiao Zhengxuan was very curious about Seventeen's reaction, and he was eager to know what happened. After all, Seventeen had always been a calm person, and rarely showed such abnormal behavior, except for the previous few times when he frightened his own princess and made her drink the tranquilizing soup for a long time.
