I was flattered after crossing

"I was in the yard at that time. When I felt the wind, I felt something was wrong. It was so similar to the situation that day. I was worried that if I waited until Seventeen prepared the carriage before coming to find you, I'm afraid... I'm afraid you would have left me long ago." Xiao Zhengxuan finally plucked up the courage to express his worries.

"So I just rode out on horseback. I didn't think about anything else." After saying that, he looked at me pitifully, with tears welling up in his eyes.

I quickly poured a cup of hot ginger tea and handed it to Xiao Zhengxuan, saying gently, "Have a cup of ginger tea to warm yourself up, change into clean clothes later, and then go back and take a hot bath to drive away the cold."

Xiao Zhengxuan took the ginger tea and drank it slowly. After a while, he finally asked, "Did the princess really not think about leaving just now?"

"No! I just asked Leilei that if she wanted to leave, I would take her to the place I guessed. But you saw it, Leilei didn't leave." I looked at Xiao Zhengxuan and answered seriously.

"Then why didn't she leave?" Xiao Zhengxuan looked at me puzzled.

"Because I won't leave! Come, drink this cup of ginger tea, Your Highness~" After saying that, I picked up my cup, gently touched Xiao Zhengxuan's cup, then blew on it and drank it all.

"Oh~ so spicy!" I couldn't help but scream out.

Looking at Xiao Zhengxuan's slightly red eyes, I couldn't help but ask curiously: "What's wrong? Are you moved by me? Or is the ginger tea too spicy?" He lowered his head, silently looking at the teacup in his hand, without answering my question.

"Your Majesty." Seventeen's voice came, and he and Lei Lei stood at the door and said, "There are still many empty rooms next door."

"Okay, Ling'er and I will go to that room. I'll bring the clothes to you later when Cui'er brings them. Remember to drink the ginger tea." After giving these instructions, I stood up and walked out.

"What's wrong with your prince? He looks weird?" Leilei put her arm around my arm and asked me curiously as we walked towards another single room.

"He's afraid that I'll run away." I answered helplessly.

"Ah?" Leilei looked at me with a surprised expression.

"Didn't I tell you before, there was a time when the weather was just like today, and I wanted to leave but he stopped me." I glanced at her and continued, "I really don't know what he sees in me?

In my place before, I didn’t even have a few male friends, not to mention that relationships would break up after a few days. Who would have thought that here, there would be a prince who would treat me so well. It’s really… I don’t understand…”

"Hahaha, so you are struggling with this problem?" Leilei's clear and sweet laughter like a silver bell rang again.

"Then please feel free to give me some advice!" I bowed to her solemnly.

"Oh~ no problem." She stroked her beard and said seriously, "Different circles, different perceptions. Especially when I meet someone like you who can't tolerate any sand in your eyes and can see through everything. To put it bluntly, it's not easy to cheat... If you don't believe me, go to their business gatherings with your dad more often. The contrast is quite obvious."

"I can understand why you don't have a boyfriend, but why aren't your relationships with your male colleagues that good either?" I asked him puzzledly.

"Then let me ask you, do your male colleagues brag when you are doing team building?" Lei Lei asked.

I looked at her like she was an idiot and answered, "How can you not brag? Is there anyone who doesn't brag?"

"Then how do you respond?" she asked, glancing at me.

"I just laughed~" I looked at her and said, "Isn't it funny and shouldn't we laugh?"

"Your behavior is seen as a mockery in their eyes..." After saying that, she looked at me meaningfully.

"You're not good at anything and you never leave anything left over. Do you think I should flatter them just because they brag about you? I'm sorry I didn't take the money..." I rolled my eyes at her.

“So ah, you can’t provide them with emotional value…” She looked at me and said.

"Ugh..." I said to her.

“Alright, alright, I know they don’t deserve it…” Leilei put her hands behind my back and purred.

"So what's going on between you and your boyfriends? Do you pamper them every day?" I looked as if I had eaten a fly.

"I'm just teasing them. Many of them are just playing around. Everyone gets what they want. It's that simple." She looked at me and said lightly.

"Then you can understand some of the things in it, right? But you just don't expose them. And then you cooperate with the acting?" I looked at Lei Lei and asked puzzledly.

"Yeah, that's what I mean! Do you want me to personally teach you a few moves of my Poseidon Secret Technique?" As she said this, she raised her hands and "practiced my internal energy."

"Forget it, forget it. Do you have any secret method to attract wealth?" I held down one of her hands and looked at her and said.

Lei Lei immediately stopped her hands from "exercising qigong" and said, "You almost made me go insane! You need to find someone who practices the ruthless way... We are like water and fire and we are incompatible..."

"Hahahaha, you're going to make me die of laughter!"

Not long after we sat down, Xiao Cui came back with two new sets of clothes. Xiao Zhengxuan and Shiqi quickly changed into clean and tidy clothes, and saw that the rain outside the window was gradually getting lighter. So, we took a carriage back to the palace.

As soon as we stepped into the palace gate, a group of maids and servants immediately surrounded us and looked us up and down anxiously.

Xiang'er also hurried over and asked in a low voice, "Princess, are you okay? Did you get caught in the rain?"

I quickly waved my hands and comforted her, "Don't worry, I'm fine. I've dodged it."

Then, I turned my head to look at Xiao Zhengxuan, and said with concern: "Your Highness, you should go back to your room and take a hot bath to drive away the cold, and the same goes for Seventeen." I tilted my head and smiled at Seventeen who was standing behind Xiao Zhengxuan.

Seventeen bowed to me respectfully and said, "Thank you for your concern, Princess."

After we said goodbye to each other, we each walked in different directions. However, after walking a few steps, I heard Xiao Zhengxuan shouting from behind: "Princess, what about dinner tonight..."

I turned around and saw his pitiful expression and wanted to laugh. Oh my, it turned out that he was still thinking about having dinner together when he said he would when he went out!

"Come to Haitangyuan tonight, we'll have hotpot. We just made a few small copper pots a few days ago." I looked up and saw the rain, like beads that had broken off the string, was still falling. "Rainy days are the best for hotpot. Seventeen, come along too. You've all been caught in the rain and need something warm to eat."

"Well, okay." After Xiao Zhengxuan finished speaking, he let out a long sigh as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders, and a relieved expression appeared on his face.

After walking a few steps, Lei Lei came over with small steps and said in a low voice: "Your prince is really like a little puppy. The little expression he made when he called you just now was so adorable!"

"Then you haven't seen what he looks like as a wolfdog. He can eat people when he gets angry!" After saying that, I touched my scabbed lower lip again.

"Hehehe..." Leilei looked at my mouth and gave me a sympathetic look.

After entering Haitang Garden, I called Xiaocui, Jinxiu and Xianger to my room, opened the three sets of festively colored clothes I had brought back from the silk shop, and showed them to them one by one.

"You will wear this on my wedding day. The three of you and Miss Ling'er will be my bridesmaids on that day~" I looked at them and smiled happily.

"How dare we?" Except for Xiao Cui, Jinxiu and Xiang'er have not yet adapted to the modern management of Haitang Garden.

At this time, Leilei had changed into her clothes again, and walked over like a colorful butterfly, saying: "What is there to be afraid of? In our hospital, everyone has his or her own duties, and just do your job well. Look at me, do I look good~" After saying that, she struck a rather awkward pose, but often awkward poses look very good.

"It looks good, it looks good. You are the most beautiful." I said perfunctorily.

He turned his head and looked at them, and said, "You guys go put them on too and see if they fit. If they don't fit, I'll change them for you."

"Okay, okay. We'll go right away." After saying that, they ran away happily.

"Hmm? Come here and let me see how you feel..." I waved at Leilei.

"Hey~ here you are~ It's been a long time since this lady came to see Ling'er?" As she said that, she sat down on my lap.

"Oh my god! Have you gained weight again in the past few days? You are as heavy as a weight, get up quickly!" I said with a grin.

"You are fat, your whole family is fat! I didn't eat much. Everyone knows that as a bridesmaid you have to pay attention to your image. How could I eat so much?" Lei Lei muttered softly, pinching her waist and walking to the mirror to look left and right.

"Do you dare to compare the waist circumference of this Sanjian skirt with the one we wore when we traveled through time?" I asked with a sly smile.

"Humph! I won't compare~ and I can't compare, the clothes are still in the Prime Minister's Mansion~ Ahhhh! Damn Prime Minister, my clothes are so expensive!" After saying that, she walked back and looked at me: "Are you really fat?"

I reached out and squeezed her waist, saying nonchalantly, "One inch, no big deal."

"Then I have to lose weight..." she said calmly.

"Hahahahaha, I wish you success!" I said with a laugh.

At this time, the three girls also changed their clothes and came back, each of them looking radiant.

I said to Lei Lei, "When we dress up, we girls are no worse than the Twelve Beauties in the 87 version of Dream of the Red Chamber!"

Lei Lei stood aside and nodded repeatedly: "That's right! They can debut directly!"

"They look beautiful. They will be even more beautiful after they put on makeup that day." Seeing them becoming more and more pleasing to the eye, I grinned and asked, "Do you still like them?" I asked with a grin showing my big teeth.

"I like it, I like it. I never thought I could wear such beautiful clothes made of such high-quality fabrics!" Xiang'er said excitedly after looking at her clothes.

Jinxiu also echoed: "The princess is so busy on weekdays, but she still thinks about us servants. It's really... really embarrassing..."

I quickly said, "Don't be embarrassed, don't be embarrassed, just be happy."

"Cui'er, how are you?" I knew Xiao Cui didn't like to talk, so I winked at her after asking.

Xiao Cui smiled and nodded vigorously at me several times.

I turned my head and looked at Leilei, who usually would rather lie down than sit, and asked curiously, "What's wrong with you today? Why don't you sit down?"

"Hey, I'm afraid my skirt will be wrinkled... I'll go change it now." After saying that, she... floated away like the wind.

"Then we servants will withdraw first and tell the small kitchen to prepare dinner. By the way, Princess, how many pots do we need?" Xiang'er raised her head and asked me.

"Well... there are five people in our room, plus the prince and Seventeen, a total of seven people, so we need seven pots." I responded after counting the heads.

"Eh? Xiang'er, do we have so many pots? I remember we only made four at that time...were the others finished later?" I suddenly became a little unsure again and looked up to ask Xiang'er.

"That's enough. Later, they made a new batch, also four in number, which were delivered to the mansion a few days ago. However, we servants should not dine with you and Your Majesty. If it gets out, I'm afraid some people will say that you don't control your subordinates well..." Xiang'er replied with difficulty.

"That's right, this might damage your reputation, Princess..." Jinxiu on the side also echoed.

"Hmph! I'm not afraid of my reputation! If anyone dares to gossip about me, I will scold them back!" I put my hands on my hips and retorted angrily.

"Well, let's do as the princess said." At this moment, Xiao Zhengxuan, wearing a yellow robe with a sunflower fan, stood outside the door with his hands behind his back and spoke up.

"Wow, you look so good in yellow~" I couldn't help but exclaim in wonder, and immediately stood up, strode up to him, held his hands tightly, and looked at his clothes carefully: "This is actually a jacquard crane pattern... It's so elegant when paired with the sunflower yellow~" I looked Xiao Zhengxuan up and down, my eyes full of admiration.

At this moment, Xiao Zhengxuan seemed a little embarrassed. He coughed lightly and said in a low voice: "Princess..."

However, at this moment, Xiang'er on the side suddenly said: "Then we servants will withdraw first..." Then there was a burst of chirping laughter.

"Did you see that? The prince's face is blushing!" Jinxiu shouted excitedly.

"Yes, yes, it's the first time I see it!" Xiang'er echoed.

Xiao Cui quickly looked back, then whispered to the two of them, "Keep your voices down!"

"It's okay, we've walked so far~" Xiang'er replied nonchalantly.

At this moment, Xiao Zhengxuan thought to himself: I can still hear it...

While I was still holding onto Xiao Zhengxuan's hand, Seventeen suddenly appeared from nowhere, holding two jars of wine in his hands, and said with a smile: "Princess, I brought you two jars of Lihuabai. You must enjoy them later!"

"Come on, come on, why bring any wine~" I let go of Xiao Zhengxuan's hand with a smile on my face, and walked forward to take the wine.

His eyes fell on the wine jar, and he saw the three big characters "Lihuabai" on it. He couldn't help but feel overwhelmed, and said with deep emotion: "Today I am able to taste the fine wine that Master loves so much. I am so lucky!"

"Master, master, the princess hasn't even drunk any wine yet, why is she talking nonsense?" Seventeen approached Xiao Zhengxuan and asked in a low voice.
