I was flattered after crossing

When we came downstairs, a strong aroma of barbecue hit our noses, making us salivate. It turned out that the whole lamb in the yard outside had already started to be roasted.

"Here I am." Xiao Zhengxuan raised his head and looked at us with a smile.

"How about it? Let's see how we dress Xiao Cui up?" I looked at Brother Xiao Zhengxuan and asked curiously.

Before Xiao Zhengxuan could speak, Xiao Zhengchen suddenly put down his teacup, walked over quickly, and said in surprise: "Oh! After the dressing of sister-in-law and Miss Ling'er, this... this Miss Cui'er is really a beauty when she is dressed up~"

After hearing this, Xiao Cui's legs suddenly went weak. She knelt down hastily and said in panic, "Oh, the Second Prince is really embarrassing me!"

Lei Lei looked at Xiao Zhengchen, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Well! You have good taste!"

I immediately picked Xiao Cui up from the ground.

Xiao Zhengchen showed a pair of cute puppy eyes, looked at Lei Lei, and replied with a smile: "Hey, tell the truth~"

At this time, Xiao Zhengxuan also stood up and said to Xiao Cui with a serious face: "Since you are the princess's maid, you should have some dignity on weekdays and not embarrass your princess."

Xiao Cui bowed her head respectfully, and answered firmly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Xiao Cui will definitely fulfill your mission."

"Hey? Xiao Cui, do you know Kung Fu? I think your moves just now are similar to the female assassin in our TV series." I looked at her curiously and asked.

Xiao Cui's eyes flickered, and she answered in a panic: "Ah? I don't understand what you are talking about..."

At this time, Xiao Zhengchen on the side interrupted and said: "Okay, don't worry about this, let's go out and take a look. I think the whole roasted lamb over there by the chef should be almost cooked!" After saying that, he walked towards the door.

We came to the campfire and sat in a circle. The aroma of the roasted whole lamb was like a warm whirlwind, sweeping over us and making us intoxicated. During the roasting process, the fat of the lamb and the heat blended together, emitting bursts of fragrant aroma. This unique and charming aroma seemed to be the perfect combination of nature and human wisdom, making people salivate.

Soon, the servants cut the roasted mutton into each person's plate. The roasted whole lamb tastes absolutely amazing! The tender and juicy mutton melts in your mouth, exuding an intoxicating aroma. After roasting, the original fishy smell of the mutton has long disappeared, replaced by a rich and mellow fresh fragrance. Coupled with the careful seasoning of cumin, chili and other condiments, the whole dish is even more attractive. Every bite is like a spirit dancing on the taste buds, bringing endless satisfaction.

I turned around and enthusiastically called Xiao Cui to sit down and enjoy the delicious food with me. She hesitated for a moment, but still walked over and sat down next to me.

She sat helplessly between me and Leilei, who had just ordered an extra plate of barbecue for Xiaocui. "Eat it while it's hot~" Leilei said to Xiaocui, blinking her eyes.

Seeing this, Xiao Cui couldn't refuse anymore and started eating: "Mm, it really smells delicious. This is the first time I've eaten such delicious mutton!"

"Hehe, just follow your princess and work hard in the future. She is a money-grubber! If you follow her, I guarantee you will be able to eat roast lamb every meal!" Lei Lei said to Xiao Cui.

At this moment, a gentle and graceful voice suddenly came from the side, which made me shudder: "Your Majesty, I am here to serve you dinner~"

Before the woman knelt beside Xiao Zhengxuan with a plate of meat, Seventeen appeared from nowhere and said seriously, "The prince doesn't like to be served. Miss, give me the plate!"

"Ah! Seventeen!" I looked up at the sky and said in surprise, "I thought you had something to do and left first, how come you fell from the sky!"

"Uh...Princess, I was just inspecting the security situation in the palace and happened to see this scene." Seventeen replied calmly.

I held onto Seventeen's sleeve tightly, tugging it down with force, and said enthusiastically, "Come and sit down, you've come at the perfect time! A new round of distributing the meat is about to begin! Could you please bring me another plate, butler~" As soon as I finished speaking, I immediately turned around and shouted loudly to the butler in the distance!

"Hey!" The butler responded loudly in the distance.

Seeing this, Seventeen was still planning to refuse, but then he heard Xiao Zhengxuan say, "Follow the princess's arrangements. You have worked really hard today. Sit down and have a good rest."

"Yes, thank you for your concern, Your Highness and Princess." Seventeen replied respectfully and sat down behind Xiao Zhengxuan and me.

"Puchi~Puchi~" Just as I turned to look at Leilei, I heard a strange sound in my ears.

Lei Lei lowered her voice and said to me, "The one who wanted to serve your prince at dinner just now was the maid who dressed up so gorgeously this afternoon!"

"Got it!" I quickly raised the lychee wine in my hand to her, indicating that I had received this important information~

"There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. I can tell from the way she behaved this afternoon that she has ulterior motives." I leaned over and continued to speak to Leilei.

"Princess, why don't you send her away!" Xiao Cui was sitting between us and heard the conversation clearly. I shook my head gently at Xiao Cui, and Xiao Cui looked at me blankly, as if she didn't understand what I meant at all.

I suddenly looked up at the sky and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow, the sky is so clear today! The stars look so clear and real~"

When Xiao Zhengxuan heard what I said, he turned his head and looked at me, and asked curiously, "Has the princess never seen a starry sky like this before?"

"Yeah, I've seen it, but there's serious light pollution where we are. It's hard to see it clearly without a telescope or other instruments." I moved my eyes away from the sky and fell on him.

"Your Majesty, has anyone ever told you that your eyes are as bright and dazzling as these stars~" Looking at his deep eyes, I couldn't help but sigh.

"Puff! Cough cough cough!" Leilei coughed for a while, her face flushed. I looked over expressionlessly and said in a deep voice: "You're holding it in!"

Lei Lei nodded quickly and said, "Got it!"

Suddenly, an autumn wind blew and the temperature dropped sharply. Even with a bonfire in front of us, we still felt a little cold.

At this time, Xiao Cui quickly stood up and said, "We have prepared a blanket. I'll get it right away." After that, she hurried to the side.

"How is it, Princess? Are you still feeling cold?" Xiao Zhengxuan and I each grabbed a corner of the blanket and covered ourselves with it.

We were now in a small space made of blankets, like a makeshift tent, and I sat opposite him, each holding a glass of wine.

"It's not that cold~ By the way, thank you for today, Your Highness. Leilei and I have never enjoyed such a life. I'll toast you~" After saying that, we clinked our glasses and drank it all.

However, Xiao Zhengchen and Shiqi were obviously not satisfied with the current situation. Xiao Zhengchen lowered his voice and asked, "There are no bad rumors about my brother, right? Is it true that he likes homosexuality?"

When Seventeen heard this, his face was shocked and he quickly replied: "Ah! Where did Second Prince hear such a rumor? How could the prince prefer homosexuality? Don't believe in rumors! This blanket should be left to you, Second Prince. I have been on the battlefield for many years and am accustomed to these sandstorms." As he said that, Seventeen resolutely put the blanket that Cui'er had just distributed on Xiao Zhengchen.

Seventeen sat back behind Xiao Zhengxuan and I, eating meat and drinking in silence.

"Cui'er, are you still cold? If you are, go upstairs and put on some more clothes." Leilei asked Cui'er, who was sharing a blanket with her, with concern.

"No, it's enough. Actually, I'm not that cold. It's just that we are facing the campfire, and sometimes the cold wind will blow away the hot air, which makes people feel that the temperature suddenly drops." Ling'er and Leilei explained patiently.

"Wow, I feel like you know more than me! Come, let's drink, this wine is so sweet, let's not go home until we are drunk tonight~" Leilei said to Xiao Cui, holding up the wine glass.

Xiao Cui responded immediately: "Yes, okay Miss Ling'er, let's not go home until we are drunk tonight~" After that, Ling'er also picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Lei Lei. Suddenly, a strong aroma of wine spread out, intoxicating people.

The whole night was filled with laughter and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious. Not only did we taste the delicious food, but we also enjoyed each other's warm company. After eating and drinking, we had a lot of fun, and everyone's face was filled with happy smiles.

"Ah, Xiaoxu, let Cui'er and I sleep in one room, otherwise they have a big bunk bed~ I can't bear to leave~" Leilei staggered in front of me and said incoherently. I looked at her slightly drunken appearance and couldn't help laughing.

"Cui Er, just follow her~ Just don't vomit at night and suffocate yourself to death~" I looked at Cui Er, who was still clear-headed even after drinking a lot of wine, with a joking look. Cui Er smiled and nodded, then helped Lei Lei into the room.

"Princess, can you come and rest with me today?" Xiao Zhengxuan's gaze fell on me, with anticipation gleaming in his eyes.

I nodded in confusion and said, "Of course I'll sleep with you. It looks like there's no room left in my room..."

At this time, Xiao Zhengchen turned his head and said to Seventeen: "Then you sleep with me. Obviously my brother can't accompany me now, but I'm scared and I must have someone to accompany me." His tone had a hint of coquettishness, making it impossible to refuse.

Seventeen's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a helpless smile, and gently shook his head, saying: "I still need to be on duty today, and I really can't accompany you, the Second Prince."

However, Xiao Zhengchen tightly grasped the corner of Shiqi's clothes and said firmly: "I don't care! I just want to sleep with you tonight!"

Seventeen looked at the prince standing beside him with a sad face, and there was a hint of pleading in his eyes, as if he hoped that the prince could come forward to mediate the current situation.

Prince Xiao Zhengxuan naturally understood Seventeen's thoughts, but he just smiled and nodded to Seventeen, indicating that he agreed to let Seventeen accompany Xiao Zhengchen to spend the night. Then, he turned around and slowly closed the door, leaving Seventeen and Xiao Zhengchen in the room.

Seventeen secretly groaned in his heart, but he did not dare to disobey the prince's order, so he could only follow Xiao Zhengchen into the room helplessly.

Xiao Zhengxuan said, "Shiqi, you don't have to be ashamed of your identity. Just treat me as your master's younger brother. You don't know that I have never dared to sleep alone since I was a child. At night, I must have someone to accompany me and hold me before I can fall asleep. Otherwise, I will have nightmares!" After Xiao Zhengchen finished speaking, he quickly changed into his underwear, then quickly climbed onto the bed, waiting obediently for Shiqi to come over.

"Okay, Second Prince, in that case, I will sleep with you today and ensure that you can sleep peacefully!" Seventeen said as he walked towards the bathroom next to him.

When he finished washing and returned to the bedroom, he found that Xiao Zhengxuan was still awake, so he asked, "Hey, why hasn't the Second Prince rested yet~"

"Hey! Seventeen~Do you have a girl you like?" Xiao Zhengchen said this out of boredom while lying on the bed.

When Seventeen heard this, his face immediately turned red, and he immediately replied: "I...my mother has arranged a marriage for me, at the beginning of next year."

"Oh? I see. Do you like that girl? Is there anything special about her that attracts you?" Upon hearing the response, Xiao Zhengchen immediately sat up from the bed and asked impatiently.

Seventeen was a little confused by this question: "Uh... it's her... she is gentle and virtuous... um... very... very well-behaved..." The more he spoke, the redder his face became.

"I remember that my brother praised you for your courage and ability to take on important tasks in the court. I didn't expect that you would blush when talking about love!" Xiao Zhengchen asked jokingly.

"Well~ In the military camp before, the prince once told us: The land of pleasure is the grave of heroes." Seventeen replied respectfully to Xiao Zhengchen.

"But who in this world can resist the temptation of beauty?" Seventeen continued with emotion.

Xiao Zhengchen shook his head and retorted, "I think whether she is a real beauty depends on the situation. What if she looks like a fairy but has a heart as vicious as a snake?"

"If we had discovered it in time, we would have stayed away from him. Could we have killed him?" Seventeen's expression did not change, and his tone remained calm, but a barely perceptible hint of surprise and doubt flashed in the depths of his eyes.

After hearing this, Xiao Zhengchen couldn't help but take a deep breath and secretly exclaimed in his heart: "This guy is really a ruthless character!" He looked at Shiqi's expressionless face and suddenly felt a little chilly. However, he quickly regained his composure.

"Uh... my admiration for you. Go to bed soon, Seventeen. I'm sleepy. You sleep outside and I'll roll around inside. Good night~" Xiao Zhengchen yawned, then while speaking, he rolled into the couch holding his quilt.

【Xiao Zhengxuan's room】

After entering the room, I immediately smelled a strong aroma accompanied by a spicy smell. I was dizzy and couldn't help but be alert and began to observe the room carefully.
