I was flattered after crossing

"Slow down for a moment. In fact, you are very close to success!" Xiao Zhengxuan whispered to comfort them.

"If we just wait a little longer until the police arrive, we can rescue her successfully. It's a pity that the time left for us is too short!" I sighed helplessly.

"So, what happened to that man in the end?" Xiao Zhengxuan asked.

I stared at him, then looked at the scenery in the distance: "What else can I do... Ever since I sent Xiwei away, I haven't seen him again. It's so unlucky for him!"

"He will definitely pay the price for this." Xiao Zhengxuan held my hand tightly and said firmly.

"Well, I hope that day will come sooner..." I looked at him.

I sighed softly: "Well, let's not talk about these spoilers. Your Majesty, please teach me how to play the piano~" I turned my head, my eyes fell on him, and a mischievous smile appeared on my face.

He smiled and nodded, and replied, "Okay."

After that, we stood up together and slowly walked to where the guqin was placed. I reached out and gently stroked the strings, feeling their touch, as if I could hear the beautiful notes flowing through my fingertips.

I raised my head and looked at him, with a hint of excitement in my eyes: "We have a song that I really like. I know that the score of this lyre is different from the ordinary score. I can only hum it roughly..."

Xiao Zhengxuan raised his lips slightly, revealing a faint smile. He sat down gracefully, placed his hands on the piano, adjusted his posture, then turned to look at me and said softly, "Princess, please."

I tried to remember the melody of the song and began to hum it softly. He listened to me attentively, and his fingers gently plucked the strings, trying to find the notes that matched it.

Gradually, the piano music and my humming blended together to form a wonderful harmony. The wonderful music was like the sound of nature, echoing in the air, making people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.

"Yes, that's the song! When I first heard this piece of music, I was mesmerized by it." I said, staring at the piano in his hand.

"Could this song be 'Unstained'?" He looked up at me and asked.

I opened my eyes wide in surprise, stared at him and asked, "So you also came here from a different time! No wonder! You can understand and accept my daily words and deeds! Then, when did you come here?"

He shook his head gently, stood up slowly, stretched out his hand to pull me to the seat, and then said softly: "When the princess met Mr. Ye before, she once asked him if he could play this song."

"Oh...oh...I have already forgotten..." I answered sheepishly with an embarrassed look on my face.

"It's okay, I can teach the princess how to play this song now." His gentle voice came from behind me.

Half an hour later...

I finally stumbled through two lines. Looking at Xiao Zhengxuan who was sitting next to me with a serious look on his face, I blushed with embarrassment and said, "Your Majesty, why don't we stop learning? I'm really not cut out for this."

Xiao Zhengxuan was not impatient at all, but encouraged gently: "It doesn't matter, as long as you practice more, you will definitely achieve something. I think the princess is quite talented~"

Hearing this, I couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Hahahaha, thank you for the compliment, Your Highness. Didn't you prove that your own children are good no matter how you look at them? But I'm really a little hungry now, Your Highness, how about we go eat something first?"

Xiao Zhengxuan smiled and nodded in agreement: "Well, okay. I guess they are almost ready, let's go!" After that, he stood up, walked to my side, gently took my hand, and walked towards the attic.

When we just stepped into the attic hall, we saw Lei Lei and Xiao Zhengchen walking down from upstairs.

Leilei shouted happily: "We were just about to look for you, dinner will be served soon~" Her face was filled with joy, and she looked very hungry.

"You were crying?!" She walked up to me with surprise on her face and said, looking at my eyes that had just cried.

"What?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhengchen hurriedly came closer to me, looked at me with concern and asked.

Then, he and Lei Lei looked at Xiao Zhengxuan standing behind me at the same time, with a hint of murderous intent in their eyes. Xiao Zhengxuan was a little confused by the look, but he didn't dare to say much, so he could only stand there silently.

Seeing this, I quickly took her hand and explained, "Oh, this has nothing to do with him. It's just that I mentioned Xiwei's matter to him just now, so I felt a little sad."

After hearing what I said, Lei Lei's expression eased a little. She turned around and said to Xiao Zhengxuan apologetically, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I misunderstood you just now. I thought you bullied her."

Xiao Zhengxuan smiled slightly, indicating that he didn't care, and said: "It's okay, seeing the deep affection between you sisters, I am also very relieved."

However, Xiao Zhengchen was still confused and had no idea what was going on. He scratched his head and asked in confusion: "Xiwei? Who is Xiwei?"

Leilei ignored him, but took my hand and said gently: "Okay, don't think too much, let's go eat first. I'm starving, are you hungry?"

Looking at the backs of Lei Lei and Xiao Xiaoxu turning and leaving, Xiao Zhengxuan sighed helplessly, while Xiao Zhengchen still looked confused.

Xiao Zhengxuan looked at his brother with sympathy, leaned closer and whispered: "When I have time, I will explain it to you in private. However, you must never mention this name casually in front of them again..."

Xiao Zhengchen looked at his brother's face seriously and nodded: "Yes, Chen'er will remember it!"

"Come here, this is crab stuffed with orange. Now is the season when hairy crabs are the fattest, and the crab roe and crab paste are particularly full. This crab stuffed with orange is sweet and sour and delicious. It is very suitable for eating before meals and can serve as an appetizer. "The butler introduced the dishes vividly while serving them.

In a short while, all the delicious food and drinks, including sea bass sashimi, roasted gold and boiled jade, steamed lamb, braised pork, golden chicken, roasted taro, fermented apricot branches, spicy vegetables, pickled lotus root, chestnut cake, raw sugar cake, osmanthus wine, chrysanthemum wine, bayberry drink, etc., were served.

Looking at the dazzling array of exquisite dishes before us, our stomachs, which had already been rumbling with hunger, began to growl even louder.

So everyone picked up their chopsticks and devoured the food. In less than half an hour, the delicious food on the table had been eaten up, leaving only some leftovers. Looking at the leftovers on the table, we all burped involuntarily.

"Ah~ The food at brother's farm is still delicious! Burp~" Xiao Zhengchen said contentedly as he put down his chopsticks.

His round belly seemed to agree with this statement and made a soft growl.

"Hahahahahaha..." This cute look made everyone burst into laughter.

Xiao Zhengchen didn't care about everyone's laughter at all. Instead, he asked excitedly, "Hey, brother, are we going to take a hot spring bath later?"

Xiao Zhengxuan chuckled and replied, "Well, it's not appropriate to go to the hot spring right after a full stomach. Let's go back to the room and rest for half an hour, and then go to the hot spring together."

"Okay, let's go upstairs and rest~" Xiao Zhengchen said obediently like an obedient child.

"Okay~" The group turned and walked towards the stairs.

When we reached the room where Leilei and I had just lived, Xiao Zhengchen was about to follow in, but Xiao Zhengxuan grabbed him by the collar and dragged him to the next room.

Then, he turned to us and said, "Princess and Miss Ling'er can rest first. We are next door. If you need anything, just let me know."

"Hmm? Hahaha, good, you guys should go and have a rest too!" I responded with a smile. After that, we each went into our rooms.

After the door was closed, I immediately whispered to Lei Lei: "Did you explain it to him clearly just now?"

Lei Lei frowned, shook her head, and said helplessly: "Oh, don't mention it, this little dog is really too smart. He guessed my intention before I could even open my mouth."

"Well, that guy is indeed very smart and intelligent. The prince has mentioned him to me more than once, saying that he is very good at pleasing the emperor and the queen. You actually offended him this time, and the situation is indeed a bit tricky." I sighed, took off my outer robe, and climbed onto the bed.

"Oh, don't be anxious, just take your time. How could I give up the entire vast forest just because of a small sapling?" After saying that, she lay down beside me.

I looked at her worriedly and said, "Please don't hurt that child! He is so innocent. You must handle this matter properly and don't leave any psychological trauma on him."

"Yeah, don't worry. Who would be willing to hurt such a cute little puppy?" She spoke in a deliberately pinched voice.

"Okay, stop having a fever and go to sleep." I rolled my eyes at her and then gradually fell asleep.

[Next to Xiao Zhengxuan's room]

"There is a room next to it, why do you want to stay here with me?" Xiao Zhengxuan asked Xiao Zhengchen while washing his hands.

Xiao Zhengchen took off his shoes and ran onto the couch. He turned around and said to Xiao Zhengxuan, "I just want to sleep in the same room with my brother! This way we can chat together and talk about interesting things. Besides, I feel safer with my brother."

"Take off your outer robe first before getting on the couch!" Xiao Zhengxuan shouted outside. Xiao Zhengchen pouted unhappily, but still did as he was told, muttering, "Take it off if you want~"

After Xiao Zhengchen lay down on the bed, he suddenly remembered something and turned to ask his brother: "By the way, brother, you said Miss Ling'er will not enter the palace, so can I marry her in the future?"

After hearing what his brother said, Xiao Zhengxuan slowly came over and sat beside the bed. He looked at Xiao Zhengchen and asked with a smile, "Are you attracted to Miss Ling'er?"

Xiao Zhengchen nodded vigorously, his face filled with a happy smile. He went on, "Of course. Miss Ling'er is lively and cheerful. She is always smiling, which makes people feel happy. Also, her ideas are unique and she always brings me surprises. I really like her." As he spoke, Xiao Zhengchen's eyes were full of longing for the future, as if he had already seen the beautiful picture of himself and Miss Ling'er together.

"From what I know, Miss Ling'er doesn't seem to be the kind of person who can be faithful to one person in love. After all, the customs in their place are more open, which is very different from ours..." Before Xiao Zhengxuan finished speaking, he heard Xiao Zhengchen interrupting and said, "Of course I know~ Look at Miss Liu in our imperial city, who has the best medicinal materials business. She changes her husband every now and then!"

"You...you are a prince! How can you say such words!" Xiao Zhengxuan was so angry that he couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

"Oh, brother, don't be angry. What I mean is that my personal opinion on this matter is nothing special. I don't mean that I have to go and be someone else's mistress. Besides, those powerful men can take concubines and marry multiple women, so why is it not against etiquette for women to do so?" After Xiao Zhengchen finished speaking, he looked at his brother who had a confused look on his face, and felt secretly proud in his heart.

At this moment, Xiao Zhengxuan's inner monologue was: It actually sounds quite reasonable.

"However, if Miss Ling'er falls in love with someone else in the future and doesn't want to be with you anymore, don't be sad because of love affairs." Xiao Zhengxuan also lay down slowly and spoke earnestly to his innocent brother.

"Alas, we haven't even started yet! Every time I tried cautiously, Miss Ling'er cleverly resolved it. It seemed as if she couldn't understand my feelings at all, as if I was a transparent person. I don't even know how to respond..." Xiao Zhengchen said with a melancholy look on his face.

"Oh? Does Miss Ling'er intend to reject you?" Xiao Zhengxuan asked him curiously, tilting his head.

"What rejection? That's definitely not a rejection! It's just that she always changes the subject very cleverly. I think it must be because my performance is not obvious enough and not affectionate enough, so I can't impress Miss Ling'er's heart for the time being! That's right, it must be like this!" Xiao Zhengchen became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he had found the key to solving the problem.

Xiao Zhengxuan looked at his brother who was smiling naively and cheering him up foolishly. He shook his head helplessly, then closed his eyes, sighed softly and said, "Foolish child..."

After hearing what his brother said, the younger brother did not take it seriously. Instead, he laughed and said self-deprecatingly: "Hey, who told me that I don't have as good luck as my brother? My brother went out to fight a war and was able to trick his sister-in-law back. As for me, the road ahead is long and I'm afraid I still have a long way to go!" After saying that, he also closed his eyes and soon fell asleep in a daze.
