Female martial arts fanatics only love to fight, while men fight for their lives.

37

She regretted it the moment she said it.

If the senior sister was just an ordinary person, it would be fine. She would not mind if this little brat called her sister.

It happens to be a royal family.

He quickly tried to make amends for himself, "I made a mistake. How should I address you, Your Highness?"

Xiao Zhengze was somewhat unhappy. Her lukewarm attitude was the most hurtful. It was as if they were thousands of miles apart. They just changed their identities, so why were they so estranged?

She didn't ask at the beginning, did she?

"Sister, did I make you angry?" He came closer and lowered his head slightly like a child who had done something wrong, pulling her sleeves and pinching her, "Just call me like before..."

"Should I call you A-Cang?"

There was a hint of mockery in Lou Xiao's eyes, and she couldn't help laughing as she recalled certain scenes from the past.

The atmosphere eased. Xiao Zhengze didn't know what to do. He wanted to stop her from calling him "Acang", but he was afraid that she would care after that.

Hey, forget it.

He thought in a self-deprecating way that as long as she still remembered their previous feelings, everything would be fine.

"As long as my sister is happy, I'm glad. I thought she had forgotten me and had never mentioned me to the emperor. If I hadn't come here eagerly, my sister would have forgotten about me."

He said half resentfully and half jokingly, and reached out to hold up her drooping hair.

For convenience, she tied her hair as simply as possible these days.

The dress from the clothing department was ready, but the matching crown was not yet finished, so this extremely complicated dress was completely pressed against her face.

Xiao Zhengze gently supported her shoulders and turned her around to look at the full-length mirror. In a corner where she couldn't see him, he stared coldly at the Lady Shang Gong, signaling her to be sensible and leave.

The two hadn't seen each other for many years, so they must have a lot to talk about. He hoped that it would be a private space for the two of them where they wouldn't be disturbed.

These troublesome servants should get out quickly.

Lou Xiao felt a little uncomfortable at first, but soon forgot about herself in the mirror and explained to herself the previous strangeness.

"You've changed so much... You were only that old before, and not only have you grown taller in the past few years, but your facial features have also matured."

At that time, Master said that a relative of a senior sister had come and asked her to take care of him.

He suddenly appeared alone in Yunwu Mountain. He looked like a spoiled child, fair-skinned and handsome, so she habitually mistook him for a girl at first glance.

For most of the time they were in Yunwu Mountain, Lou Xiao treated him as a girl, so much so that when she later found out his real gender, she felt uncomfortable for a while.

She was so embarrassed that she really tried her best to forget this experience. When she came to the capital, she didn't dare to ask her senior sister where he was.

He stood behind her, looking at her in the mirror with his body shifted. The two figures, one like the bright sun and the other like a shadow behind it, were unexpectedly harmonious.

"No matter how much I change, I'm still... A Cang." That was an experience that belonged only to her and him, and no one else. "Sister, you won't disown me just because I've grown up, right?"

Lou Xiao looked at the boy who had his hands on her shoulders and turned his body to look at her.

He is undoubtedly good-looking, and has been since he was a child.

He has fair skin, clear eyebrows and eyes, a pair of distinct black and white, and long eyelashes. When he blinks lightly, you can see the moisture in his eyes, as if his eyes will turn red and tears will fall in the next moment.

His hair was long, shiny black, and only a bunch of it was fixed with a sandalwood hairpin. The other strands of hair cascaded like water, trembling slightly as he moved sideways.

His black hair and dark, stiff fabric made his features look picturesque, as if he was a character walking out of each stroke of the brush and would disappear if the paper got wet.

"A Cang...you've grown up, you can't be like before." Because she didn't know he was a boy at first, she often acted too intimately with him.

He looked still young at that time, and even when I later found out that he was a boy, I was just a little embarrassed. Now that we are adults, it is always not good to get too close to him.

Xiao Zhengze's smiling face paused for a moment and asked, "What was it like before?"

When Lou Xiao didn't answer, he added, "Is it that I can't sleep in your bed, or can't I warm your hands? Or can't I even hug you?"

There was no one behind them, and if someone heard it, they would be scared.

As he spoke, Lou Xiao stared at him, her eyes clearly understanding, "What else?"

Xiao Zhengze was unhappy, but seeing her attitude he knew what to say, "You can't do this in front of outsiders..."

It should be okay in private, right?

He didn't dare to speak, not even to express his meaning.

He looked very depressed, with his head lowered and eyes downcast, and it was unnecessary for him to smooth the corner of her clothes.

Lou Xiao sighed inwardly and reached out to take off her heavy dress. Xiao Zhengze muttered, "It looks good, no need to change," but he didn't dare to stop her.

Seeing her taking off everything except her underwear in front of him, Lou Xiao put on her original plain clothes piece by piece in front of him and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

"Where are you going?" Xiao Zhengze saw that she was about to leave, and hurried to catch up with her. "It's been a long time since we last met, why don't you stay with me for a while?"

Lou Xiao fixed her hair in front of the mirror, and felt depressed when she thought of the "homework" assigned to her by the empress. "I have to go back... to copy the calligraphy. His Majesty wants to see it. If it's not good, I will be punished."

She smiled at the boy who followed her like a tail and said, "Since we are already in the capital, there will be plenty of opportunities to meet each other in the future. It's just that everyone is very busy recently, so we can only see each other on Wanshou Day."

Then he said goodbye to him.

Xiao Zhengze was disappointed and didn't know what to say. He said with some resentment, "Then I'll let Ji Heng take you out of the palace. If you have any questions, you can always come to me."

He watched her walk out without looking back, and felt a bit desolate standing in front of the door.

The palace lady and the servants around Xiao Zhengze remained silent until he started to cough softly. The old lady then told the servants,

"Go and bring me a cup of hot tea!"

Xiao Zhengze waved his hand to stop their bustle. Lou Xiao's back could be seen in the distance.

Suddenly, a group of people walked out from the corridor as if they had just met her. The leader greeted her for a moment, then walked side by side with Lou Xiao until they disappeared.

His coughing suddenly stopped, and his face looked gloomy as if covered with a layer of frost. Although the figure could not be seen, he still stood there, as if he wanted to stab that man a thousand times with his eyes.

"Are you trying to snatch it from me..." Xiao Zhengze said angrily in a low voice. It was only because his eyesight was too good that he could still recognize the man even from such a distance.

Who else could be the master in this palace who is tall and has curly hair like a lion? !

Youshan King Xiao Zhengdu!

As soon as she left him, the mixed-race guy intercepted her!

At the beginning, he used conditions to exchange for Xiao Zhengdu to find out whether Lou Xiao was still the same as before. Did this sow the seeds of their bad fate? !

Xiao Zhengdu, haven't you always been mocking me, the great King of Hanhai, for liking a rustic and rough girl? !

She is now the Duke of Zhenguo, and you want to snatch her from me! ?
