I was flattered after crossing

Chapter 110 Zhang Ruxue comes to assist

"Oh, I just wanted to come to you as soon as possible. This palace is really big. I started running as soon as I got off the carriage, and it took me a long time to get here~" She also raised her hand and touched the hair accessories on her head.

"Okay, okay, let's go, let's go to the flower hall, there must be a lot of delicious food there." I held her hand and walked with her out the door.

"By the way, Xiaoxu, Sister Yue asked me to bring you a birthday gift." As Zhang Ruxue spoke, she took out a dagger from the bag that I had given to them both.

The handle of this dagger is made of green jade with delicate patterns carved on it, the blade is inlaid with gold patterns, and the scabbard is inlaid with gold and gems. It looks very gorgeous, exquisite and unique.

I stared at the dagger in my hand in amazement, exclaiming, "Is this the treasure that Yue'er found from the border? The handle is carved with jade, the blade is inlaid with gold, and even the sheath is made of gold inlaid with gemstones! This is too precious!"

Seeing how much I liked it, Zhang Ruxue also smiled happily and replied, "Yes, Sister Yue said that you will definitely like this gift~"

Hearing this, my heart was filled with joy, and I couldn't help but sigh: "Oh my, this is so exciting! I must write a thank-you letter to Yue'er. I wonder how she is doing in the frontier? Is everything going well?"

Zhang Ruxue nodded in response, saying that Yue'er was doing well in the border area. Although the border area was dangerous, they had made careful arrangements, so there was no need to worry too much.

I breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that, and said with a smile: "Oh, that's good, that's good. By the way, what gift have you prepared for me~" After that, I reached out to her to ask for the gift.

Zhang Ruxue laughed at this, and then took out a beautiful little box from her bag and handed it to me. When I opened it, I found a hollowed-out Begonia jade pendant inside, which was soft in texture and exquisite in craftsmanship, making it irresistible.

"Oh my god, everything I received today is absolutely gorgeous! The workmanship is so exquisite~" I said in amazement.

"Isn't it beautiful? I found this after searching through my entire warehouse!" Zhang Ruxue said proudly, then looked up at me with a proud smile on her face.

I smiled and said to her, "Oh, Ruxue, you've worked hard. Eat more. I have so many delicious foods here!" I patted her shoulder gently.

At this time, Zhang Ruxue suddenly came close to me and said excitedly: "The legendary crystal dragon and phoenix cake..." Her voice was full of anticipation and desire.

I smiled slightly, understood her thoughts, and said, "Hahaha, don't worry, I'm sure we have it. I've also prepared a lot of facial masks for you to take with you when you leave at night." I instructed her.

Zhang Ruxue nodded gratefully and said, "Oh, thank you so much, Xiaoxu. My mother asked my father to ask the prince for that mask every day, but my father was too proud to give it to her. We have been arguing about this for the past few days! Hahahaha! You really saved my father~"

I couldn't help but laugh when I heard this. I comforted her and said, "Hey, just tell me. From now on, I will take care of all the facial masks for your wives. If you run out, come to me and get some. It's a good opportunity for me to meet you and have a meal with you!"

"Okay, then Xue'er would be disrespectful to refuse~" she said with a playful wink.

"Oh, Princess, I went to the silk shop to buy fabrics and got a facial mask. After I used it, I felt that my skin really got better!" said another lady.

"Yes, yes, this mask is really hard to come by right now~"

I looked back at the women following us and said with a smile, "Thank you ladies for your kindness. It is a blessing for this mask that you like it. Fortunately, there are still some in stock in the palace. I will have someone pack them up and give them back as souvenirs. However, you ladies have to prepare the fresh milk yourself, after all, fresh milk spoils easily."

"Oh, thank you so much, Princess!"

"This is great!"

"Hahaha, don't worry, Princess. With the mask milk, we can get it anyway!"

"Yes, yes, thank you, Princess~"

"Hey, what are you thanking me for? We are sisters. If you need anything in the future, just come and tell me." I replied politely.

"Brother Xuan, Brother Xuan~Wait a minute, listen to me!" An inappropriate voice came from Xiao Zhengxuan's study, and obviously everyone behind me heard it. In an instant, the peaceful atmosphere became very awkward.

"Xiaoxu...who is this?" Zhang Ruxue pushed me towards Xiao Zhengxuan's yard.

"Oh, my dear sister, no, the prince is handling state affairs at this time!" I held her back.

"What! Didn't you hear it? Still dealing with government affairs." Lei Lei said on the side.

"That's right~" Zhang Ruxue agreed.

"Yes, Princess, come in and take a look. You are the legal wife!" The ladies behind said one after another.

Just as I was about to step into the courtyard, I saw Xiao Zhengxuan striding out of the room and walking towards us, followed by Xu Ruoli, who was crying.

"Why is the princess here?" Xiao Zhengxuan was not at all surprised to see me. He walked quickly to me and asked.

"Uh... I was passing by... and then I heard... some noises, so I thought of coming in to take a look..." I looked at Xiao Zhengxuan with embarrassment, explaining why I was here.

Xiao Zhengxuan narrowed his eyes slightly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he said softly: "Oh? Really? Then let's go." After that, he gently took my hand and walked out of the yard with me.

Xu Ruoli was seen silently wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes. She turned around quietly and left, blending into the crowd.

Xiao Zhengxuan didn't care too much, as if what just happened didn't affect him. Seeing this, everyone pretended that nothing had happened.

"Are you done with your work?" I asked in surprise.

Xiao Zhengxuan smiled slightly, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes, and he responded: "It is more important to celebrate the birthday with the princess." As he said that, he held my hand tightly and continued to lead me forward.

"Oh my, the princess and the prince are so sweet together~" Zhang Ruxue said enviously.

People around him chimed in. At this moment, someone suddenly mentioned a topic: "Yes, yes, the other day when I went to Fenglin Pavilion, I heard the shopkeeper say that the prince designed a bracelet for the princess?" This topic aroused everyone's interest, and they asked for details.

"Ah? What bracelet?" Zhang Ruxue turned around with a puzzled look and asked curiously.

The people around her immediately explained enthusiastically: "I heard that it is an extremely exquisite gold bracelet with kingfisher feathers and river, mountain and sea patterns!"

Zhang Ruxue suddenly realized what was going on when she heard it. She quickly reached out and grabbed my hand, showing it to everyone: "Is this the one?"

"Ah! Yes, yes, yes! This is the one!"

"Let me see it too, let me see it too!"

"Wow, this feather is so exquisite, it makes the river water seem to be flowing and sparkling. I guess the prince must have spent a lot of thought on it!"

"Ah~ Yes, the princess is so lucky!"

"Okay, okay~ Let's go to the backyard to watch the show!" I said, pulling my hand back forcefully.

"Oh~The princess is still shy!" Lei Lei cheered from behind.

So, a large group of people came to the flower hall in the backyard laughing and playing.

Xu Ruoli followed behind with boredom, staring at Xiao Xiaoxu with vicious eyes from time to time.

"Princess, there is nothing else." Xiao Cui came over and said. "Okay, keep paying attention. She didn't succeed just now, there must be a next step." I replied in a low voice.

"Yes, don't worry, Princess." Xiao Cui replied and left quietly.

After lunch, the butler arranged a resting place for the guests, where they could play, watch shows, or rest. When we learned that the Queen had returned from secretly chasing stars, Xiao Zhengxuan and I went to greet her.

"Your Majesty, please..." Before we finished speaking, the Queen Mother stepped forward quickly and said, "No need to be so polite."

When the Queen saw me wearing the bracelet she gave me, she said, "It seems that Xiaoxu really likes this bracelet~"

"Oh, how could I not like what you gave me? I couldn't bear to wear it. I couldn't bear to wear this bracelet, but I couldn't resist you, Your Highness." I said, pretending to be shy and lowering my head.

"Pfft...it seems Xuan'er still has the method~" The Queen patted Xiao Zhengxuan.

"Did you catch up with Xiaoyao Sanren today?" I asked curiously.

The queen stared at me in disbelief, then looked around and took out a novel from her arms!

"Wow! A personal signature!" I said in amazement.

"What does Xiaoyao Sanren look like?" I continued to ask.

The queen stamped her feet excitedly, her eyes sparkling with excitement. She glanced at Xiao Zhengxuan and then looked away. She leaned close to my ear and whispered, "I thought he was an old man with gray hair on his temples... but I never thought that the free and easy man I met today would be so handsome!"

"Ah? Is it that beautiful?" I asked in disbelief, my eyes wide open in surprise.

"Of course! I will never lie to you!" The Queen held my hand tightly and invited me expectantly, "I will take you to see it next time!"

Before I could respond, the Queen was already impatiently pulling me into the yard.

Xiao Zhengxuan followed us closely like a little tail, muttering: "...Fortunately, my father is not here at the moment..."

She sighed softly, a trace of fatigue appeared on her face. She rubbed her temples and said softly: "Oh, I'm a little tired. I don't want to watch those shows anymore. I just want to have a good rest."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhengxuan hurried forward, looked at the Queen with concern, and said gently: "In this case, why don't you go to my room and rest for a while. It's not far from here, just behind."

I immediately nodded and agreed, "Yes, yes, this is closer to the prince's room."

"Okay, then I'll follow your arrangements. Lai Fu, let's go." The Queen nodded with a smile, then turned around and called on the eunuchs behind her to follow.

"You accompany the Queen! Come back after everything is settled. There is nothing to do now. I will go to entertain the guests." I said to Xiao Zhengxuan.

"Xuan'er, I never thought that you and your wife could live in such harmony." The queen sighed as she walked.

"Well, after getting to know each other, I found that the princess has an independent personality and unique ideas. If she were a man, she would definitely be a good military advisor to my son." Xiao Zhengxuan answered the queen's words seriously.

"Girls are also welcome! Xuan'er should cherish such a good man~" the queen said to Xiao Zhengxuan earnestly.

"Yes, son will definitely follow mother's teachings." Xiao Zhengxuan replied respectfully.

"Oh, it's getting late, Jinxiu, you and Xiang'er should go and invite the Queen to come out for dinner~" I turned and said to the maid beside me.

"Yes." Jinxiu and Xiang'er replied, then turned and left.

I stood up and went to the flower hall with the other ladies to prepare for the dinner.

After a while, Xiang'er came back in a panic, panting and saying, "Prince, Princess..."

"Why are you so panicked? What happened?" Xiao Zhengxuan frowned and asked with concern.

"Your servant...ah...let the prince and princess go and take a look!" Jinxiu said hesitantly, with an awkward expression on her face.

"Let's go and take a look~" I stood up and said to Xiao Zhengxuan.

At this time, the guests who came to attend the banquet also followed us curiously.

When we arrived at Xiao Zhengxuan's courtyard, we saw the Queen standing at the door of Xiao Zhengxuan's bedroom with an angry look on her face.

At the bottom of the steps was Xu Ruoli, with disheveled clothes and messy hair, who kept muttering, "Brother Xuan, Brother Xuan, please take care of Li'er. Hug me~" As she spoke, she sat on the ground and twisted her body, as if she had lost her mind.

Seventeen on the side held a long sword in his hand, with the tip of the sword pointing at Xu Ruoli, his eyes full of vigilance and hostility.

The other guards were also on high alert, watching the scene before them nervously.

When everyone walked into the yard and saw such a strange scene, they couldn't help but gasp.

Even though I am from the new century, I have never seen anyone perform such an unbearable "self-touching show" in public...

Leilei came over to support me and said softly, "This is really an eye-opener. This is the first time I've seen someone drug himself..."

"Yeah, this is different from the plots of the novels you usually read..." I responded in a low voice.

She nodded and said, "I am still not very experienced..."

At this time, I heard others talking: "Oh, it's her again~"

"Yes, wasn't she the one who ran out of the prince's study this afternoon?"

"Really? How can a woman pester others like this?"

"That's right. Look, the prince didn't even open his eyes to look at her."

"Hey, hey, have you heard the stories circulating on the streets right now?"

"I heard it, it's outrageous!"

"Lai Fu! Bring a basin of cold water and pour it on him to wake him up! You are really embarrassing me!" The Queen said to Lai Fu with a blue face due to anger.
