After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen

Nian Susu put his hands on the brazier, revealing half of his wrists, and the jade bracelet slipped out of his sleeves with a "swish".

In the firelight, the bracelet appeared more transparent.

Her hands felt warm, and so did her heart. Looking at the jade bracelet, her thoughts also jumped away along with the sparks.

"Miss, where did you go just now?"

Jingzhe squatted to her left side without knowing when, and handed her a piece of plum cake in his hand.

Nian Susu gathered his thoughts, moved two steps to the right, and refused his plum cake. Jingzhe withdrew his hand angrily and threw it into his own mouth.

"I didn't go anywhere, just met a friend."

"Friend? What friend? Which friend?" Jingzhe pursued relentlessly.

Nian Susu frowned and glanced at him suspiciously, "When did you become so interested in my friends?"

In other words, Jingzhe is particularly strange tonight.

In the past, there were times when she went out alone to handle personal matters. Jingzhe and Zhihua were both sensible people. If she didn't say anything, they wouldn't ask, let alone try to find out in a roundabout way.

Jingzhe is too abnormal.

Jingzhe touched his nose and said, "I am just worried about you. What if you run into a murderer like last time? It's New Year's Day and I don't want to see blood."

"I'm fine, don't worry about it."

Nian Susu curled her lips. If you were worried, just say it directly. Why make so many excuses and end up saying something unpleasant?

She rubbed her hands and found that the temperature had almost returned to normal.

Jingzhe noticed the jade bracelet on her hand and his eyes suddenly darkened.

She was not wearing the bracelet when she went out, and she didn't have the habit of wearing bracelets normally. But she put on this thing when she went out. He could figure out what was going on with just a little bit of thinking.

"Miss, have you gone to meet that Qin guy?" He asked curiously, not angrily.

Nian Susu was stunned and felt a little guilty.

But after thinking about it carefully, why should she feel guilty in front of Jingzhe? So she nodded and admitted: "Yes."

"Hiss..." She turned her head and looked at Jingzhe, her eyes full of confusion, "Why do you have such a big opinion about His Highness? When did he offend you?"

Looking back on the experiences of the past six months, Qin Junyu and Jingzhe had little contact. The only thing that could have made them enemies was that when they first met, Qin Junyu mistook Jingzhe for a murderer and captured him.

But the situation was urgent at the time, so Qin Junyu can't be blamed entirely.

Don't be weird during Jingzhe. Don't tell me the reason. Just keep warm by the fire.

Nian Susu moved closer to him and nudged his arm with her elbow, "Go ahead, tell me. After the New Year, I'll take you to Yuanlai Restaurant for a surprise. How about that?"

Under her eloquent attack, Jingzhe finally gave in.

His eyes dodged and his voice was as thin as a mosquito. "I just think that there is no good person in the royal family. I don't want you to be deceived by him."

"Besides, what's so good about that Qin guy? He's not even as good as one finger of the owner. Why did you choose him instead of the owner?" This sentence was said with much more confidence and force.

Zhihua was attracted by the movement here. She poked her head out from behind the curtain beside the couch and looked at them. "Miss, what are you talking about?"

Nian Susu raised his voice and answered her, "Nothing, we are discussing what pattern to cut for the window paper-cuts."

Although the answer was perfunctory, Zhihua retracted his head, as if it was just a casual question.

Nian Susu thought about what Jingzhe had just said. What did it mean to choose Qin Junyu instead of Xuanji? What did this have to do with Xuanji?

"You..." She wanted to refute but didn't know where to start.

Could it be that Jingzhe was worried that if she became the Crown Princess and continued to have contact with Xuanji, Xuanji would be criticized by the people of Tianxuan Villa?

Not to mention that she and Qin Junyu haven't even started dating yet, even if there is something going on, it won't affect Xuan Ji.

The reason why she and Xuanji became friends and had close contact was because she wanted to help Xuanji detoxify. Few people knew about Xuanji's poisoning, so naturally no one would know about their relationship, so how could they be implicated?

Why does Jingzhe look like he’s standing up for Xuanji?

She couldn't reveal the inside story to him, and could only say helplessly: "The relationship between His Highness and I is not what you think."

Jingzhe obviously didn't believe it, "He already gave you the bracelet! And...and he said it wasn't what I thought." He was so angry that he couldn't speak clearly.

Nian Susu picked up the fire stick and turned the charcoal in the basin. He didn't realize the seriousness of the matter and said disapprovingly, "It's just a New Year's gift."

Jingzhe had a strange expression on his face, like shock and confusion, and his facial features were almost twisted into a ball.

Her heart suddenly tightened, she thought of something and looked at him sideways.

Jingzhe looked unhappy, and she became even more nervous, and asked again: "Is there any special meaning in giving a bracelet as a gift?"

Jingzhe explained unhappily: "Miss, are you from Shengjing or am I from Shengjing?

When a man gives a woman a bracelet, it means he is promising to marry her. Even the daughters of ordinary people would not dare to accept a man's bracelet casually, let alone a lady from aristocratic family like you, who attaches great importance to etiquette and rules. "

When he said the last sentence, he even had some contempt. It was not that he had any problem with Nian Susu, but he had never been nice to the aristocratic families and local tyrants.

In his opinion, they were just evil spirits who took advantage of their power to bully others.

Nian Susu's face immediately turned red and she didn't dare to look at him again, for fear of being discovered to be in an abnormal mood.

She perfunctorily told Jingzhe that Qin Junyu gave her the bracelet for no other reason, but she couldn't stop thinking: Why did Qin Junyu give her the bracelet? Did he know what it meant?

On the city wall, she even asked him to help her put it on!

Nian Susu was suddenly ashamed. Would Qin Junyu misunderstand her and think that she had agreed to something?

When she thought of this, she felt so upset that the bracelet on her wrist became hot to the touch. The more she looked at it, the more irritated she felt.

She had originally agreed to cut paper-cuts with Jingzhe and Zhihua, but now she was in no mood to do so, so she asked Zhihua and Jingzhe to take the things to the side hall while she went to rest.

Zhihua could see that she was in a bad mood, so she didn't dare to ask and just did as she was told.

Zhihua went to the side hall first with scissors, red paper and cut window decorations.

Jingzhe was holding a few boxes of pastries in his hands, looking lonely. When he walked to the door, he turned around and glanced at Nian Susu who was sitting on the couch in a daze.

I couldn't help but remind you again: "Miss, think it over carefully. Our owner is a thousand times better than that guy. Don't be fooled."

He could see that the owner of the manor had special feelings for the young lady. Out of selfishness and comparison in various aspects, he thought that the owner of the manor was more worthy of the young lady than Qin Junyu.

But the owner of the manor was always on the move, and Qin Junyu often hung around her. Jingzhe couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis, so he used the bracelet as an excuse to remind her.

Nian Susu did not answer, but just stared at one spot, not knowing whether he had heard what he said or not.

Jingzhe closed the door angrily and went to the side hall with cakes in his hands to look for Zhihua.

Young people's thoughts come and go quickly. Jingzhe soon forgot his previous troubles and happily asked Zhihua for advice on the art of paper cutting.
