I was flattered after crossing

I walked side by side with Xiao Zhengxuan. As we walked, I couldn't help but look up, my eyes fell on his handsome face, and I asked curiously, "What's the matter? Is there something you want to tell me in private?"

There was a flash of surprise in his eyes, but he soon regained his composure, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and replied: "Well... Thinking about it carefully, there is indeed something I need to tell the princess."

"Hahahaha, what I just thought of is not bad!" I exposed him mercilessly.

Xiao Zhengxuan was not embarrassed by what I said. Instead, he lowered his head and whispered to me, "Zhao Xiangning and her two siblings have left the imperial city. Princess, don't worry."

After hearing this news, a heavy weight on my heart finally fell, but I immediately asked worriedly, "Have they been discovered by the Prime Minister's Office? After all, the Prime Minister is a very bad old man..."

"Don't worry. The Prime Minister can't protect himself now. He has no time to take care of other things, let alone send people to follow him. I heard that the Prime Minister is really ill and bedridden." Xiao Zhengxuan comforted me.

"Humph, it's all his own fault! He has been scheming against others all day long, and now, he has finally schemed himself into trouble! I just hope that after this lesson, he can calm down and stop causing trouble for Lei Lei..." I said worriedly.

"Why would father allow the prime minister's beloved son who is idle all day long and does not work properly to go to Lingnan with the army? He must understand father's intention and will naturally restrain himself in the future." Xiao Zhengxuan said.

"That's the best. Then we can live our own lives in peace~" I raised my head and my eyes fell on him.

With the help of the moonlight, I found that Xiao Zhengxuan looked even more handsome and charming under the interweaving light and shadow, and I couldn't help but blurt out: "The moon is bright, and the people are beautiful. Shu Yaojiu, the laboring heart is quiet."

Hearing me suddenly reciting a poem, Xiao Zhengxuan shook his head helplessly, as if he wanted to say something, but finally stopped talking. However, even though he didn't speak, I could still clearly see a faint blush on the tip of his ear.

After entering the house, I quickly got out from under my cloak and shivered, muttering, "It's really cold tonight."

Seeing this, Xiao Zhengxuan on the side said softly: "Take a hot bath later, it should be warmer."

"Yeah, okay. We have to rest early today because we have to go to the silk shop early tomorrow morning." I responded happily.

After Xiao Zhengxuan hung up the cloak, he walked up to me and told me, "News has also come back from the Imperial College. All the drawings you have completed can be registered. If someone dares to copy your drawings and make clothes to sell in the future, the princess can go to the government office and sue them."

"Wow! That's great! I never thought this could actually be done!" I was so excited that I danced with joy. "After all, it's you who are capable, Your Majesty. As the old saying goes: 'Even if your ancestors carried guns, they would not be as good as the black gauze hat.' This is really good!" Xiao Zhengxuan smiled after hearing what I said and asked, "What is the origin of your words, Princess?"

"Hahaha, isn't this the most true portrayal of the world? Your Highness, haven't you heard of it?" I asked back with a big laugh.

"I haven't heard of it." He smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"People of your level naturally don't need to understand these things. After all, you are at the top of the food chain~" I said jokingly.

He immediately corrected me: "It should be us."

Then, I said to him with great pride: "Yes, it is us! I will be the first to monopolize the silk business in our imperial city and make a small profit first!"

He nodded repeatedly and said jokingly, "Very good. From now on, I and the entire Rui Palace will rely on you, Madam. Go and take a shower quickly. The water will get cold if you delay any longer." After that, he gently twisted my body, turned me around, and walked forward a few steps while pushing my shoulders.

I was in a good mood and couldn't help humming: "Hahaha, okay, okay, I'll go right away. I love money, money, money~ Money, money, money loves me~" Then I happily walked to the side room to take a bath.

Looking at my receding back, Xiao Zhengxuan shook his head helplessly and muttered in a low voice, "Little money swindler."

The next morning, the sun was shining brightly, and Leilei and I went to the silk shop together.

The store was not open when we arrived, so I called everyone together for a meeting. At the meeting, I told everyone in detail the plan that Leilei and I had carefully planned.

After listening to this, Shopkeeper Xu couldn't help but applaud excitedly and said with a smile on his face, "Oh, that's great! I originally thought that my life would be spent in such a dull way, but I didn't expect that after the princess came, our life became so prosperous!"

Uncle Li also echoed, "Nowadays, when I walk down the streets, I often see many young ladies wearing our clothes!"

Ah Fu looked at me naively and grinned, "I don't understand other things, but I only know that my mother is very happy when I come home with my wages in the past few months! She also told me to work hard, earn more money, and marry a smart and intelligent wife in the future~"

Seeing this, Shopkeeper Xu raised his hand and gently patted Ah Fu on the head, saying angrily, "What are you talking about, kid!"

I quickly tried to persuade him, "Haha, it's okay, don't make the child stupid~" There was laughter at the scene.

"I always have all kinds of weird thoughts in my head, but today I'm going to tell you the truth behind closed doors. Now that we can follow the prince to do things, it's a blessing that others can't even ask for!

Let's not talk about anything else, just look at the past two months, we have earned the same amount as before, right? Isn't it that everyone works hard outside to support their families and earn more money? Aren't our current accounts much better than before? "At this point, I looked at them with burning eyes, and everyone nodded in agreement, nodding like pounding garlic.

Then, I waved my hand and said passionately: "In this case, we should work together and unite as one! We should have only one common goal in mind - to make money! Let our silk shop business prosper, grow bigger and stronger!" As soon as I finished speaking, I looked at them expectantly, hoping to get a positive response.

As expected, Ah Fu was the first to stand up and applaud, and said excitedly, "Princess, you are absolutely right! After hearing what you said, I suddenly felt full of energy, as if my blood was boiling!"

His words made everyone present burst into laughter, and for a moment the laughter echoed throughout the room.

At this moment, there was a slight knock on the door. The sound was crisp and rhythmic, as if it had some unique rhythm. Then, a gentle and deep male voice sounded slowly: "Excuse me, is Miss Ling'er here?"
