I was flattered after crossing

I will definitely not let you down~" I promised Xiao Zhengxuan solemnly.

"Your Highness and Princess, please have dinner." The maidservant outside the door whispered softly. The maids and servants filed in one after another. They were well-trained and moved quickly. After placing the food, they quietly left.

"Let's go, Princess, and have dinner." Xiao Zhengxuan said to me softly. After I sat down, I was surprised to find that these dishes were all my favorites: the fragrant roasted rabbit, the crispy roasted lamb, the delicious braised pork, the pear soup that moistened the lungs and refreshed the mind, and the sweet and delicious almond tofu.

I happily devoured the meal, but my eyes kept falling on Xiao Zhengxuan across from me. At this moment, I hummed "I should cooperate with you in the performance, but I turned a blind eye..."

Xiao Zhengxuan put a piece of roasted meat in my bowl and said to me with a smile: "Princess, please try this lamb, it's very tender~"

Then, while eating barbecue, he casually said, "During the morning court today, my father sent me and General Chen to the northwest region. I heard that a small group of rebels has recently emerged there."

When I heard the news, my eyes widened and I said anxiously, "What? They ask you to go?! How long does it take to travel back and forth to the northwest, and our wedding is less than a month away, you can't go!" I held his arm tightly, my eyes full of worry and reluctance.

Xiao Zhengxuan seemed to notice my nervousness. His eyes became scorching and he stared at me and said, "Princess, can't bear to part with me?" There was a hint of teasing in his voice.

I nodded without hesitation and replied, "Of course I can't bear to leave. If you don't come back, who will I marry? So you absolutely can't go!" My tone was extremely firm.

Xiao Zhengxuan's face gradually showed a happy smile, but he still tried his best to control the corners of his mouth and said softly: "Well, Princess and I think the same thing. I have already reported to my father during the morning court today that I will not go to the northwest."

I opened my mouth in surprise and asked curiously, "Ah? You just told the emperor that you don't want to go? Will he agree?" After all, the emperor has made a decision. If I don't obey, wouldn't it be disobeying the emperor's order? I couldn't help but wonder.

"Well, my father agreed and sent General Huo's youngest son to accompany General Chen to the northwest." Xiao Zhengxuan nodded gently and gracefully, indicating that he knew about this, and then continued to enjoy the food in front of him slowly. However, his brief words shocked me like I was struck by lightning.

"Ah? Then the only candidate to go to Lingnan is the prime minister's son?" I asked Xiao Zhengxuan in disbelief. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed through my mind like lightning. I suddenly widened my eyes and stared at Xiao Zhengxuan, saying excitedly: "Wow! Father is so wise and intelligent! Hahahaha!"

At this moment, I felt that this arrangement was simply a stroke of genius.

Xiao Zhengxuan didn't seem surprised by my exaggerated reaction. He just smiled, picked up a piece of juicy rabbit meat, put it gently in my bowl, and said gently, "Princess, eat more too."

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Fu Heyi stood beside the Prime Minister's wife and asked the Prime Minister in disbelief, "What? Huo Zixuan is not going to Lingnan with me?"

Prime Minister Fu shook his head helplessly, with a sigh in his tone: "Well, you have to go alone on this trip. Be careful on the road. Someone will pick you up when you arrive in Lingnan Army. This trip is not for war, so there is no danger."

Upon hearing this, the Prime Minister's wife couldn't help but look worried and complained helplessly: "How come Yi'er is the only one left to go forward? Who will take care of Yi'er along the way~"

"Hmph! Everyone has to take care of your son. What kind of person is your son? Today, the emperor asked Prince Rui whether he was willing to go to the northwest with General Chen to quell the rebellion. Unexpectedly, he declined on the pretext of his marriage. What is even more incomprehensible to me is that the emperor agreed so readily! Don't you understand the emperor's intention? "The prime minister became more and more angry as he spoke, and glared at the prime minister's wife with anger in his eyes.

The Prime Minister's wife looked at her Prime Minister, who was like a landmine that would explode if touched. She sighed helplessly and said softly: "I just feel unfair for Yi'er... I don't think about anything..."

Before he finished speaking, Fu Heyi suddenly fell to his knees in front of the prime minister, crying out in tears: "Dad, Mom, I really don't want to go to that godforsaken place!"

After hearing this, the prime minister was so angry that his face turned blue. He pointed at Fu Heyi with a trembling hand and shouted angrily: "You rebellious son! In this case, I will take you to the court tomorrow, and you will talk to the emperor in person in the court!" After saying that, he swung his sleeves fiercely and strode out of the room.

The Prime Minister's wife was so frightened when she saw this that her face turned pale. She quickly helped Fu Heyi up and said anxiously, "Oh, my silly son! How dare you say such disobedience? Get up quickly. I will prepare some more things for you and make sure you have enough food and clothing on the road~"

After hearing what his mother said, Fu Heyi calmed down a little. He wiped his tears, nodded and said, "Yeah, mother loves me the most~" Then, with the support of his mother, he slowly followed the Prime Minister's wife back to his own yard.

In the Begonia Garden of the Rui Palace, Xiao Zhengxuan and I sat opposite each other. We had just finished our meal and were leisurely drinking tea.

"I don't know if Yue'er can go with General Chen this time. I hope she can pass her father's test!" I took a sip of tea, looked into the distance, and said thoughtfully.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhengxuan put down the cup in his hand, looked at me in confusion, and asked, "Do you want her, a woman, to fight on the battlefield?"

I smiled slightly, nodded firmly, and responded: "Fighting on the battlefield has always been her dream since she was a child! So I sincerely hope that her wish can be realized soon~ Maybe in the near future, she will become an indispensable female general in your army~" My words were full of confidence and expectations for Yue'er.

However, Xiao Zhengxuan didn't seem to understand my thoughts. He frowned and said worriedly, "The battlefield is not a place to joke around. Swords and guns are blind and life and death are only a matter of seconds. How can a girl endure such suffering?"

I understand his concerns, but I still stick to my point of view, "It is precisely because of this that we need people like Yue'er who are courageous and determined to protect our country. Besides, who says that women can't fight on the battlefield? Throughout history, there have been so many heroic women who are no less capable than men!"

Seeing my firm attitude, Xiao Zhengxuan stopped arguing and just sighed softly.

At this moment, I suddenly felt a wave of fatigue, so I stretched, yawned and said, "Ah~ I'm sleepy, I'm tired today, I'm going to take a shower and go to bed."

"Okay, they should have prepared hot water." Xiao Zhengxuan said, unable to hide his excitement.

Humph, this brat, he knew that I would come back to look for him at night... Never mind, that's all...

"Your Highness, please go wash up. I'm done~" I said to him nonchalantly while wiping my wet hair.

"Well, okay." Xiao Zhengxuan responded softly, his face slightly shy, and then turned to go to the bathroom to wash up.

This seems to be the first time that I stay here overnight without being drunk... I lay on the couch, thinking about all sorts of things, and gradually fell asleep.

When Xiao Zhengxuan came back from washing up, he saw Xiao Xiaoxu lying on her back sleeping soundly. He shook his head helplessly and then lay down with his clothes on beside the only remaining bed.

When Xiao Zhengxuan fell asleep, he felt a heat source rushing towards him. He wanted to open his eyes to see what was going on, but his eyelids were as heavy as if they were glued together and he couldn't open them. The heat source was getting closer and closer, gradually sticking to his body, and he could even feel the other person's soft body and the heat of his breath.

Xiao Zhengxuan struggled hard to wake up, and finally, he used all his strength to open his eyes. The scene in front of him made him wake up instantly - it turned out that Xiao Xiaoxu was hugging his neck tightly at this moment, with one leg wrapped around his waist!

Xiao Zhengxuan looked helpless, secretly complaining in his heart. He tried to gently move Xiao Xiaoxu's legs off his waist, but this guy held too tightly and refused to let go.

Xiao Zhengxuan didn't dare to struggle hard, for fear of waking her up. He could only move his body carefully, trying to find a suitable angle to put Xiao Xiaoxu's legs down.

At this moment, Xiao Xiaoxu suddenly muttered: "Prince... don't go..." and then hugged Xiao Zhengxuan tighter.

Xiao Zhengxuan's heart softened immediately. He looked at his princess's cute sleeping face and couldn't help but smile. Forget it, just let her hold him like this. It's no big deal anyway.

So, Xiao Zhengxuan readjusted his posture to make himself more comfortable, then patted Xiao Xiaoxu's back gently and said softly: "Okay, I won't leave, go to sleep." After that, he also closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep.

Xiao Xiaoxu's dream:

"I've really had enough! I've been a runner-up for five years! Every year I've only been nominated. I graduated from a professional school and I have both acting and singing skills. How am I inferior to these guys? I don't think I can get any better development in Huaxing, so I decided to terminate the contract!" Xiao Zhengxuan's face was full of anger, and he could hardly hide his inner rage.

"Calm down first and don't be angry. This should have been your chance, but someone showed up halfway through. This person joined suddenly this year. I just asked Mr. Zhang, and even he knew nothing about today's changes!" Xiao Xiaoxu tried his best to explain to Xiao Zhengxuan.

"Then in the final analysis, isn't it Huaxing's incompetence? You don't have to persuade me anymore, I have made up my mind and must terminate the contract. You go and talk to Mr. Zhang, no matter how much liquidated damages you need to pay, I will compensate you!" Xiao Zhengxuan said in a firm tone.

"What? Can you afford the compensation? You have only been in the industry for a few years. How much money have you made? The company has trained you so hard. If you really want to leave, you will have to pay at least tens of millions in liquidated damages! Can you please not be so impulsive?" Xiao Xiaoxu remained patient and tried to persuade him.

However, seeing Xiao Zhengxuan remained silent, Xiao Xiaoxu couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that you have found a new employer?"

"To be honest, Xingyao extended an olive branch to me last year, but the reason I didn't leave is entirely because you have been working tirelessly to run around and gather resources for me over the years!" Xiao Zhengxuan showed a helpless look on his face, his tone full of emotion.

"Didn't you see? The person Mr. Zhang wants to promote now is Ye Lan!" Xiao Zhengxuan said, and walked out of the dressing room without looking back. His steps seemed a little heavy, as if he was carrying unspeakable pressure.

"My Lord, don't leave!" Xiao Xiaoxu was anxious when she saw this, and she quickly chased after him. Her voice was filled with anxiety and fear, as if she had lost something important.

In the corridor, Xiao Xiaoxu followed Xiao Zhengxuan closely, trying to get him to stop. However, Xiao Zhengxuan did not seem to hear her call and continued to walk forward firmly.

Seeing Xiao Zhengxuan walking further and further away, Xiao Xiaoxu felt more and more depressed. But she did not give up and still tried to run towards Xiao Zhengxuan...

The dream ends

"Hmm? Don't go~ Wait for me!" I seemed to hear someone whispering in my ear. I suddenly opened my eyes and pulled myself out of the dream, only to find that the voice came from my own mouth. Could it be... I was talking in my sleep just now?

At this moment, a slightly complaining voice came from above my head: "Well~ I won't leave~"

I looked up in astonishment, only to see Xiao Zhengxuan looking at me with an innocent face.

I scratched my head in embarrassment and apologized quickly: "Oh, sorry, did I disturb your rest?" Xiao Zhengxuan rubbed his eyes, revealing two obvious dark circles, and sighed helplessly: "It's more than just disturbing, the princess has been talking nonsense all night..."

My face flushed with guilt, and I stammered, "What...what did I say?"

His cheeks flushed slightly, and he replied calmly, "Nothing, just... hugged me tightly and refused to let me go."

"Oh, you don't know, I dreamed that you were leaving, so I chased you desperately, but you seemed not to hear me calling you, and kept walking forward, ignoring me completely. You were clearly right in front of me, but I couldn't catch up with you no matter how hard I tried, and I was so tired!" I complained to him while twisting my sore neck.

After hearing what I said, Xiao Zhengxuan's eyes became more gentle. He gently stretched out his hand and massaged my shoulders, comforting me while massaging: "It's just a dream, the princess is quite serious."

Feeling the warmth of his palm, my heart beat faster involuntarily.

What does this dream mean? Is it my deep dependence and attachment to him?

Oh, if only I had a cell phone, I would quickly ask Zhou Gong to interpret my dream...
