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

Nian Susu lowered her voice, pretending to be woken up, and said in a hoarse voice, "Hmm? Aunt Zhao? What did you say?"

Aunt Zhao knocked on the door and said, "Open the door."

She shrank forward in fear, pressing closer to Xuan Ji's chest.

Both of their hearts were beating very fast, but not for the same thing.

“Madam Zhao, it’s the middle of the night. Even if you are a madam, you can’t force your way into my boudoir!” Nian Susu raised her voice and threatened, “If you disturb my rest, I’m afraid you won’t be able to learn the rules tomorrow!”

As she spoke, she pulled Xuanji towards the inner room. It would be bad if Nanny Zhao forced her way in, so she had to hide Xuanji first just in case.

Moving forward in the dark, dragging a tall guy with her, Nian Susu didn't pay attention and hit her knee on the stool. The pain was so piercing that she suppressed her voice and screamed silently.

"hiss……"

Xuan Ji held her arm, looked down and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"

She shook her head, and the two of them walked through the screen into the inner room.

I don’t know if she was really frightened by her words, but there was no movement outside and Nanny Zhao had already left.

The two of them sat on the ground near the window. The moonlight shining down just illuminated the small world in front of them, and they could see each other's faces clearly.

Nian Susu had already formed a thin layer of sweat, his wet temples were sticking to his forehead, and his cheeks were flushed pink.

Xuanji glanced around, but didn't dare to look at her.

Nian Susu looked at the golden mask and suddenly had a thought: What does the face under the mask look like?

She had heard some rumors about Xuan Ji.

Legend has it that the owner of Tianxuan Villa wears a mask all day long because he looks ugly. Adults are so disgusted that they can't eat, and children cry when they see him. He is even creepier than the nine-headed monster in the storybooks.

But she didn't believe these rumors. That pair of evil phoenix eyes alone was very beautiful. How ugly could a person with such eyes be?

Xuan Ji saw that she was staring at him and turned his head away embarrassedly, "Why are you looking at me?"

Nian Susu smiled and said, "I was wondering what you look like without the mask."

Xuanji's neck stiffened, and he changed the subject with a wry smile, "Was that your tutor just now?"

Nian Susu's eyes darkened. She got angry when she mentioned Aunt Zhao. She complained angrily, "She relied on the fact that she is the queen's person to blatantly target me! Fortunately, I am not a soft persimmon that can be easily manipulated. If she wants to fight me, I will fight her to the death!" She gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, "Humph!"

She was so pent up that she finally found someone to complain about. She was unwilling to let it go easily, and she listed all the details of what Madam Zhao had done to her. After venting her anger, she belatedly asked, "How do you know she is Madam Teacher?"

Xuan Ji was startled, then realized that he had let the cat out of the bag, and quickly tried to make amends: "Although I am not from the royal family, I also know that the rules in the palace are different from those outside the palace. If you want to marry the prince, you naturally have to learn the etiquette all over again. The date will be calculated in the next few days."

Nian Susu couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "As expected of the owner of Tianxuan Villa, you can actually deduce so much from just a few clues."

"Don't give me that." Xuan Ji glanced at her, and then his eyes lightly fell on the full moon outside the window, "Is there something you want to see me for?"

He was very worried, fearing that she would break off the engagement and ask him to take her away.

As Xuan Ji, he was eager to have this opportunity, but when his identity returned to Qin Junyu, he did not dare to do so.

Fortunately, Nian Susu just wanted to thank him for helping her and asked for his contact address. Because she now has an additional identity, it would be against etiquette for them to meet like they did now in the future. She thought it would be better to write a letter, which was convenient and safer.

If he was accidentally caught by Nanny Zhao when he came here one day, he would be dead.

Xuan Ji realized that she wanted to keep a distance from him, and a large part of his heart was suddenly hollowed out. Only then did he realize that she was engaged and would get married soon. And he - a wanderer with no fixed place to live, and the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace would become people from two completely different worlds.

Although the person she married was himself, Xuan Ji still felt depressed. He became his own love rival and was jealous of himself. Was this reasonable?

Nian Susu didn't notice that he was wandering around. She absentmindedly played with the tassels on her belt and said in a muffled voice, "Although we are friends, there is always a difference between men and women. What we are doing now has crossed the line."

The rest of the words were stuck in her throat and she couldn't utter them. She felt a little guilty, as if she had to cut off all ties with her opposite-sex friends after falling in love.

She has nothing to fear as she is upright, but others may not think so. She has no way of changing other people's minds and can only try to avoid these troubles.

"Yeah, I know." Xuan Ji's voice became a little deeper, not as clear as before.

He clutched his sleeves tightly, feeling heartbroken, "For Miss Nian's reputation..."

"I will be more careful next time I come here and never let anyone see me, please rest assured."

Nian Susu's brain crashed for a moment, and he twitched his lips and said in disbelief, "Not good, right?"

Shouldn’t you say come less often in the future?

Xuan Ji sat cross-legged, propped up his arms on his knees, and rested his chin on his palms. He looked at her with a sharp gaze, "What's wrong? We are innocent, why can't we meet?"

The corners of his mouth suddenly curled up, and he smiled meaningfully, "Or... do you think we are having an affair? Are you afraid that your brother, the crown prince, will find out?"

Nian Susu felt as if he was guilty, and his eyes fell on him awkwardly, with a hint of acquiescence.

Although she didn't have that intention, what's the difference between a single man and a single woman being in a room together late at night and having an affair?

Xuan Ji laughed and lowered his head, saying jokingly, "Don't worry, even if it's an affair, I'm the most dedicated lover in the world, and I won't let anyone find out about our relationship."

Nian Susu curled her lips and didn't want to pay attention to him.

"Honestly." Xuan Ji restrained his smile, sat upright, and said to her seriously: "If you regret marrying the prince, I can take you away at any time, and we will fly away together."

Nian Susu just thought he was joking and didn't take it seriously at all, but Xuan Ji had been mentally prepared for a long time before saying this, and he mustered up the courage to say it with the aftereffect of the joke, but he didn't expect that she didn't take it seriously at all.

Xuan Ji almost vomited blood.

But it’s better this way, at least she has no intention of breaking off the marriage for the time being.

Nian Susu saw the right opportunity and sent Xuanji away. Finally, he got a base of Tianxuan Villa in Beijing. As long as he sent the letter there and said the secret code, someone would deliver the letter to Xuanji.

Although I got rid of my worry, my life was still not easy.
