I was flattered after crossing

"Wow, this yard is so beautiful~ Wow, your mother-in-law is so nice to you!" Lei Lei walked around the courtyard with her skirt in her hands, her face full of joy.

"It's okay~" Seeing her so happy, I felt happy too.

"How can it be okay... When can I own a yard like this?" She muttered to herself as she looked around.

"It's yours now!" I told her with a smile.

Leilei stared at me in disbelief and exclaimed, "What!"

"You will live in this courtyard from now on. The prince is worried that living in the palace will affect your reputation, hahahaha, so..." I couldn't help laughing out loud.

After she heard what I said, she showed an expression of sudden enlightenment and said with a smile: "Oh~ I see! I understand, your prince doesn't want me to be a light bulb between you two! Well, but it's good~ Such a big yard belongs to me from now on~"

At this moment, Xiang'er came over and said softly, "Princess, Miss Ling'er, please come in and taste some snacks. These are just prepared by the chef."

"Okay, let's go and try it!" Before he finished speaking, the three of us walked into the house together.

Leilei carefully picked up a piece of almond cake, gently put it into her mouth, and tasted it carefully: "Hmm~ delicious!"

Hearing Leilei's comment, I couldn't help but reach out and take a piece of almond cake.

"I lied to you that I was a puppy! Try it now~" After saying that, she took another piece and started eating.

I took a bite with some doubt, and just as Leilei said, the almond cake had an excellent texture, melted in the mouth, and the rich almond flavor spread in the mouth.

I nodded with satisfaction and praised, "Mm~ It's delicious! This chef is really good at cooking. You can consider taking it away."

Just when I was thinking about how to recruit this chef, Leilei interrupted my thoughts and said anxiously: "Hey, stop it! You are not allowed to take it away. It seems that all the good things you like are taken with you. I will live here in the future, so you have to leave a good chef for me!" As she spoke, she kept stuffing almond cookies into her mouth.

I looked at Lei Lei with a guilty conscience, an awkward smile on my face, and said softly, "Uh... I'm used to it... Okay, okay, I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you... I won't take it away, hehehe!"

Just as I was trying to cover up my embarrassment with laughter, a deep and attractive voice suddenly reached my ears: "Hmm? Who does the princess want to bring back to the palace again?"

I raised my head suddenly, and my eyes happened to meet Xiao Zhengxuan who walked into the room. I saw him casually lifting the corner of his robe while slowly walking towards me.

When Lei Lei saw Xiao Zhengxuan, she immediately straightened up and complained to him: "Your Majesty, look at your princess, she insists on having the cook in my house! Why don't you take care of it~"

Xiao Zhengxuan's eyes were fixed on me the whole time, and with a half-smile on his face, he asked, "Oh? What's going on?"

I didn't answer directly, but pushed the almond cake on the table in front of Xiao Zhengxuan and said with a smile: "Try it, how does it taste?"

Xiao Zhengxuan was slightly stunned, then he picked up a piece of almond cake and tasted it carefully. Soon, he nodded and said, "Well, it tastes really good. Since the princess likes it, then take the cook back to the palace. It will be more convenient if you want to eat it in the future."

"Hey~ I just said that there are two kinds of people who can't sleep in the same bed~" Lei Lei stomped her feet in anger, and quickly poured herself a cup of tea, gulping it down.

“Hahahahaha~” I couldn’t help but laugh out loud when I saw Lei Lei’s expression. But when I turned to look at Xiao Zhengxuan, I was surprised to find that his face had turned red. He was obviously frightened by what he had just said…

"Princess, are you used to being here?" Xiao Zhengxuan asked somewhat awkwardly.

"We just arrived not long ago, but the environment here is pretty good, and the girls and servants working here are all very smart. So far everything seems to be fine." I answered seriously.

"Oh, that's good. In that case, I will not stay any longer. There are still many matters to be prepared for tomorrow's wedding in the afternoon. Princess, you should also rest early today." Xiao Zhengxuan whispered, then slowly stood up.

"Okay, I got it." I also stood up and walked him to the door.

As soon as I got to the door, I saw Seventeen standing there respectfully waiting. I looked at Seventeen curiously and asked in confusion, "Why don't you come in?"

"Princess, the prince said he just came to see you..." Before Seventeen could finish his words, Xiao Zhengxuan blocked his mouth with his fist and coughed strategically.

"Oh, by the way! Seventeen, I have to thank you for preparing clothes for me!" After he said that, he gave me a standard bow.

"That's nothing. You're welcome. Okay, you guys should go back soon. You'll be busy next."

"Okay, then wait for me to pick you up tomorrow." Xiao Zhengxuan turned around, looked at me with his gentle eyes, and said softly.

At this moment, there was a subtle and ambiguous atmosphere in the air, which made me feel a little overwhelmed. I couldn't help but blush, my heart beat faster, and I nodded hurriedly, "Okay, I know." After that, I gently pushed him, signaling him to leave quickly.

Xiao Zhengxuan smiled slightly, as if he saw through my embarrassment, then he jumped on the horse gracefully and galloped towards the palace with Seventeen.

I walked back slowly. As soon as I entered the door, Leilei suddenly looked at me with a smile and teased, "Hey~ Why are you so embarrassed after sending someone back?" There was a hint of teasing in her tone, which made me even more embarrassed.

"I...I might really like him..." I sat down slowly, looked at Leilei seriously, and mustered up the courage to speak my mind.

She took a sip of tea nonchalantly, then put down the cup, smiled and said: "You finally see your own heart clearly~ Oh, what a pity, I thought you would experience a tortuous and bizarre love story, such as getting married first and then falling in love, or the prince turning evil and then forcing love, or... " Lei Lei said with a perverted expression.

"Stop! What kind of bullshit are you saying?" I was shocked and quickly stretched out my hand to stop her from speaking such nonsense.

"Can't you just let me have a normal relationship? Your bizarre stories are really... In fact, the bizarreest thing has already happened to us..." I looked at her helplessly and said.

Lei Lei's eyes sparkled, and she said excitedly, "It's true... If I could go back, I would definitely write a novel! It will definitely be a hit!"

"Huh? What a good idea. You can write it now. Aren't people rushing to buy the new picture book out there? Even the Queen Mother has been following the book written by Xiaoyao Sanren." I echoed.

"Forget it, forget it. Not only do we have to run a silk shop, but we also have to research facial masks. Let's put writing novels on hold for now!" Leilei waved her hand.

"Yeah, that's right. Biting off more than you can chew."
