I was flattered after crossing

"Princess, will you go to the silk shop today?" Xiao Zhengxuan asked softly.

"No, Leilei and the others can go. By the way, do we really not need to prepare anything for our wedding?" I turned my head and looked at him with a slightly puzzled look.

"Well, these matters have been handed over to dedicated personnel to handle, and the Queen Mother will also keep an eye on it personally, so you can rest assured, Princess." Xiao Zhengxuan responded while not stopping the movements of his hands, still gently massaging my shoulders.

"Ouch! It hurts!" The sudden pain made me straighten my back.

"This is the shoulder outer point. It must be caused by the princess bending over the desk for a long time." Xiao Zhengxuan slightly reduced the force, and then continued: "Then I will use less force first."

"It's okay, it's okay. I can still bear it. Just press normally. I just don't know if the prince will go to court today? It seems to be dawn now. Is it too late?" I looked out the window, speculating in my heart.

"......Let's not go today. In that case, how about we go for a walk in the suburbs together today?" Xiao Zhengxuan suggested.

I became interested when I heard this. I turned around suddenly and said in surprise, "Really? Great! Where are we going then?"

"I have a manor in the suburbs with natural hot springs. Princess, you can soak in the hot springs, which can effectively relieve shoulder pain. How do you feel now? Are you feeling more comfortable?" Xiao Zhengxuan asked in a very gentle tone.

"Much better, thank you, Your Highness." I waved my arms gently, patted Xiao Zhengxuan's hand on my shoulder, and continued, "It's amazing. Your Highness, you not only have a manor, but also a hot spring! I'll call Lei Lei later, and we'll go together. It would not be appropriate to leave her alone in the store, hahaha." As soon as I finished speaking, there was a slight knock on the door, and then the maid placed the toiletries neatly in the outer room.

"Okay, everything is up to you, Princess. You can send the servants to summon them later. In addition, we need to send someone to the palace to tell Chen'er that we are going to the manor. Otherwise, if he knows that we are going out for fun without taking him with us, I'm afraid our lives will be difficult in the future." Xiao Zhengxuan shook his head helplessly and said slowly.

"Hahaha, great! It's more lively when there are more people. I'll go wash up first~" As soon as I finished speaking, I jumped lightly over him, jumped past him, and got out of bed quickly.

"Oh my God! Princess, please be careful and don't hurt your feet!" Xiao Zhengxuan shouted in surprise.

While eating breakfast, I said to Xiao Zhengxuan, "I still have to go back to Haitangyuan later and change my clothes."

"It's okay. I have a few sets of clothes suitable for the princess." As he said this, he turned around and glanced at the wardrobe not far away.

I looked at him in astonishment: "Huh?"

"These are newly made and haven't been delivered to Haitang Garden yet." Xiao Zhengxuan said immediately.

"That's great. I don't have to make another trip." I picked up a meat bun happily and devoured it with relish.

"Princess, you can bring a few more sets of clothes. We will come back in two days." Xiao Zhengxuan suggested while enjoying snacks.

"Yeah, yeah~" I nodded repeatedly in surprise.

"Then you don't have to go to court? You couldn't go today because of me." Feeling a little guilty, I served him a bowl of porridge and gently placed it in front of him.

"It's okay. It's better to be a leisurely prince." He took the porridge and drank it slowly.

Yes, his goal has always been to be a leisurely and comfortable prince, so that the emperor will let down his guard against him.

I've been through so many things during this period of time that I actually forgot about this matter.

This is fine, he can be his leisurely prince, and I will naturally be an leisurely princess. We don't have to work so hard to fight for that high position, it is enough for us to live our little life to our heart's content.

Eh? Xiao Zhengxuan seemed to have said this to me before...

"Xiaoxu!" At this moment, I heard Leilei's clear voice coming from outside the door, accompanied by the familiar sound of the suitcase dragging on the ground. Ah, it's really nostalgic.

"Come in, have you had breakfast?" I greeted her enthusiastically.

"I've eaten. I'll come to see you right away after you pack your luggage." Lei Lei said as she placed the suitcase by the door and walked in.

"Eh? Your Highness didn't get enough rest last night..." Lei Lei was sharp-eyed and immediately noticed Xiao Zhengxuan's panda eyes, and couldn't help but smile mischievously.

"Cough cough cough~" Xiao Zhengxuan suddenly started coughing violently, choking on his porridge.

Seeing this, I hurriedly patted his back and asked with concern: "Are you okay? Your Majesty, are you okay?"

Xiao Zhengxuan recovered his breath and responded in a low voice: "The king is fine." Then he lowered his head and continued to drink the porridge spoonful by spoonful.

"It's okay, Your Highness. You just need to adapt slowly... I went through the same thing in the beginning." Lei Lei on the side comforted him.

As she spoke, she picked up a piece of brown sugar cake, tasted it, frowned slightly and commented: "This brown sugar cake tastes good, but it's a little sticky."

"Sticky food can't stop your mouth." I rolled my eyes at her. But Leilei didn't care and continued to eat with a smile.

At this moment, Seventeen's voice came from outside the door: "Master, the carriage is ready. The Second Prince said that we should set off first, and he will go directly to our manor."

"Okay, got it. Go and help bring in Miss Ling'er's suitcase, and then find a bigger box, and have the maids pack the princess's clothes in it." Xiao Zhengxuan ordered calmly.

"Okay, I'll do it right away." Seventeen responded and turned away.

I turned to look at Lei Lei and asked, "Do you think that the way our silk shop operated yesterday is really feasible?"

Lei Lei replied confidently: "Of course, you can. Look at the booming scene yesterday! If we continue like this, our business will definitely get better and better."

Hearing her confidence, I couldn't help but get excited and said to her excitedly, "Okay, let's work together to build a bigger store!"

At this time, Xiao Zhengxuan, who had been standing silently, suddenly interrupted and asked, "Oh? The princess actually intends to expand the scale of the silk shop?"

I turned to look at him, nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, you should have noticed when you came yesterday. There were too many customers in the store. Ah Fu was so busy running around serving tea and water to the customers that he could hardly keep up. Not to mention that after the young ladies tried on their clothes, they didn't even have space to turn around and show themselves... If this continues, the customers' experience will inevitably be greatly reduced, and I'm afraid we won't be able to retain customers." I explained to him very seriously.

After listening to this, Xiao Zhengxuan nodded thoughtfully, expressing his agreement: "Yeah, that's true. Then when we return to the Imperial City in two days, let Seventeen find a suitable store."

"Don't rush to find a store. We don't have enough funds to rent such a large store now. Moreover, our new sales method has just been implemented, and it is still unknown whether it can be maintained for a long time." I quickly dissuaded him.

"If it's for money, Princess, you can just ask me directly. Even if you rent a shop now and then observe the follow-up situation, there is still time." Xiao Zhengxuan continued.

Hearing this, I quickly shook my head and waved my hands, saying, "No, no, let's wait until we have long-term stable results. I don't want to be slapped in the face."

Xiao Zhengxuan looked puzzled and asked in confusion: "What do you mean by slapping someone in the face?"

Seeing him ask this question, I could only smile awkwardly and explain: "Uh...it means shame and disgrace."

After hearing this, Xiao Zhengxuan immediately looked at me with a serious expression and said seriously, "Humph, if that day really comes, I will announce to the public that this is my shop. I want to see who dares to laugh at the princess!"

"Ah...there's no need for that~" I hurriedly persuaded.

At this time, Lei Lei on the side suddenly interrupted and said, "Well, the prince and the princess are really in love. They protect Xiao Xu so much."

Xiao Zhengxuan turned to look at Lei Lei and said solemnly: "As my princess, I will not let her suffer any grievances."

I patted Xiao Zhengxuan's hand gently and said with a smile: "For now, there is no need to look for a store. When we are truly successful, we will definitely come to seek your help."

Xiao Zhengxuan smiled, gently squeezed my hand, and said softly: "Okay, I will listen to the princess's instructions when the time comes."

At this moment, a crisp sound of horse hooves resounded through the sky, coming from far away. "Brother, sister-in-law~Chen'er is here!" Before the voice fell, we saw our carriage slowly stop.

Xiao Zhengxuan quickly opened the carriage door, leaned forward, and flexibly got into the carriage and sat down. His eyes fell on Lei Lei, with a look of surprise on his face, and he said, "Oh, it turns out that Miss Ling'er is going with us!"

Lei Lei looked at Xiao Zhengchen with a smile, saluted, and said in a soft voice: "Greetings, Second Prince. It's a good thing you came, otherwise I would have been drowned in dog food along the way. Now it's good, we can share it together!" After that, Lei Lei winked at him mischievously with a sly smile.

Xiao Zhengchen touched the back of his head and asked in confusion, "What to eat?"

Seeing this, I quickly took over the conversation and said to Xiao Zhengchen, "Miss Ling'er wants to eat roasted whole lamb tonight, so I want to ask Chen'er if he likes it too."

"Oh~ Of course I like it. Who wouldn't like roasted whole lamb? Hahahaha." Xiao Zhengchen answered excitedly, with a joyful expression on his face.

I leaned slightly to the side, put my head close to Xiao Zhengxuan's ear, and said in a low voice, "Roasted whole lamb, can you arrange it tonight?"

Xiao Zhengxuan seemed to have known what I was thinking. He raised his lips slightly and replied softly, "Don't worry."

After getting a positive answer, I nodded with satisfaction.

Along the way, we talked and laughed. Xiao Zhengchen shared his recent interesting stories, and we listened carefully, occasionally interjecting a few words, which made everyone laugh. In the laughter, time passed quickly, and before we knew it, we arrived at Zhuangzi.

As soon as you enter the village, the first thing that catches your eye is a lush green bamboo forest. As the bamboo shadows sway, you can almost hear the rustling sound of the wind.

Going further in, you will see the well-organized layout, towering ancient trees and colorful flowers, like a hidden paradise.

The center of the village is a three-story pavilion with flowing water and winding paths. The main hall is magnificent and majestic. The eaves and brackets reveal a majestic atmosphere. The pavilion is surrounded by various exotic flowers and plants, which emit bursts of fragrance.

The village is surrounded by high walls covered with green ivy, which not only looks beautiful but also ensures the safety of the village.

The rockery and flowing water in the distance and the pavilions and towers nearby all reveal Xiao Zhengxuan's pursuit of quality of life. I can't help but sigh that it's too luxurious...

At this time, the housekeeper and servants of the manor also came to the hall. They stood in a row in an orderly manner, waiting for instructions respectfully. The housekeeper began to introduce everyone one by one, but I didn't pay much attention to what he said, just nodded politely.

Fortunately, Xiao Cui has been with me all the time. She seems to be familiar with everything here, which makes me feel a lot more at ease.

At this time, the housekeeper said: "Princess and Miss Ling'er have worked hard on the journey. Please go and rest for a while. After being jolted in the carriage for an hour, you must be a little tired. After resting well, you can enjoy lunch."

As he spoke, he sent someone to lead us to the second floor of the attic. I smiled and nodded in agreement, thinking that this arrangement was very thoughtful.

Xiao Zhengxuan also echoed: "Yes, take a good rest." His voice was gentle and caring, making people feel warm in their hearts.

"Okay, then Your Majesty and Chen'er should also take a rest for a while. See you later." I responded softly, then Leilei and I followed the maids up the stairs and walked towards the second floor.

After entering the house, we both felt as if all the strength had been drained out of us, and we lay limply on the step.

Lei Lei said weakly: "I didn't feel it just now, but as soon as I lay down on the bed I felt really tired."

I nodded repeatedly and responded, "That's right, we've been sitting in the carriage for almost two hours..."

After saying that, I turned over and lay on the bed, and patted my thighs which were almost numb from sitting.

"You know what, the prince really has good taste. This garden is no worse than ours!" Lei Lei put her arms under her head, turned her head, looked towards the open window next to her, and said slowly.

"Of course, he's a prince. How could his conditions be bad in all aspects?" I responded helplessly.

"You are lucky to have traveled through time and space to meet a prince. Look at me..." Lei Lei muttered depressedly.

"Hahahaha, it's all your fault for not working hard, otherwise with your ability, you would have become the empress by now!" I propped myself up, turned my head to look at her, and joked with a smile.

"You're right! Hahahaha!" Leilei replied with a big laugh.
