Seeing that Xu Mengfei was still trying to comfort him, Xiao Jingheng felt more and more guilty.

Xiao Jingheng knew that the more he comforted her at this moment, the sadder she would become, so it would be better to change the subject and not mention it anymore.

"You've told me so much about yourself. Now it's my turn. If you want to know anything, just ask."

Xu Mengfei saw Xiao Jingheng's intention and cooperated to change the subject.

"Can you also tell me about your family? I know you have many brothers and sisters, and I'm quite curious about how you get along with each other."

Seeing that Xu Mengfei asked questions very cooperatively, Xiao Jingheng relaxed a little.

"Like I just said, my life over the past decade or so has been nothing special. I just live every day as planned. My mother is Concubine Chen Hui, my uncle is the deputy envoy of the Censorate, and I have an older sister, the fourth princess Xiao Qingying. Although the fourth sister is not my mother's biological daughter, her biological mother died early, and she has been raised by my mother since she was a child. She is no different from my biological sister."

Xu Mengfei exclaimed: "Such a relationship sounds really wonderful, just like the one between me and my second brother. However, I have been here for a month, why have I never seen her?"

"Except for the fifth sister, the other sisters have already married, and the fourth sister only occasionally goes to the palace to see mother, so it is naturally difficult for you to see her in the palace. However, the fourth sister was at the birthday banquet for father and today, so you must have seen her, but you didn't know her identity when you saw her."

Xu Mengfei nodded when she heard this. "That's right. There were too many people these two times, and I couldn't take care of recognizing anyone. Then you can introduce them to me individually when you have the chance later. Since I am your princess, I naturally have to get along well with the people who are important to you."

Xiao Jingheng smiled when he heard this. Xu Mengfei always spoke her mind. She might think it was natural when she said this, but it always made people feel warm inadvertently.

"You will see her tomorrow when we go to the palace to pay our respects. My fourth sister is also straightforward, and she should like you very much."

Upon hearing this, Xu Mengfei's eyes lit up, "Really? That's great. I only have two brothers and never had any sisters. In fact, I was a little worried about how I would get along with my sister."

Xiao Jingheng smiled when he heard this, "Don't worry, my fourth sister is very easy-going, just be yourself."

After hearing this, Xu Mengfei's eyes narrowed into slits with joy, "Okay, I understand. Then how is your relationship with the other brothers and sisters? I want to learn about it in advance so that I can know how to treat them when the time comes."

"Although I was born in an imperial family, I am not keen on power. Perhaps it is precisely because I do not pose any threat that I have a good relationship with everyone. However, there are two exceptions, my fourth brother Xiao Jingyi and my third sister Xiao Qingyan. Their mother, Concubine Ji Shu, and my mother have always been at odds, so the relationship between us is not good. I usually have a better relationship with my eldest brother and fifth brother. As for my second and third brothers, I am just on good terms with them. Our father has many children, and the relationship between us can be said to be complicated. I am afraid it is difficult to explain it clearly at the moment. You will naturally understand it when you have more contact with them in the future."

Xu Mengfei nodded after hearing this. "This is indeed a little complicated for me, but I will remember the people who have a bad relationship with you. When I see them in the future, I will know how to deal with them."

Xiao Jingheng was amused by Xu Mengfei's serious expression. "Princess, now that you mention this, I am a little curious. How would you deal with them if you saw them?"

This didn't seem to be a question worth thinking about for Xu Mengfei. She said as a matter of course: "We are husband and wife now, so of course we have to share the same hatred and enemies. I hate the people you hate, so of course I won't treat them well."

Xiao Jingheng chuckled when he heard this, "My fourth brother is very fierce and holds a grudge. You will be hated for treating him like this. Aren't you afraid?"

Xu Mengfei said disapprovingly: "What is there to be afraid of? I have never been afraid of anyone. No matter what, I have the support of the entire Dongyuan Kingdom behind me. How dare he do anything to me?"

"Okay, I'm just teasing you. Fourth Brother is not someone you can easily mess with. Try to avoid him when you see him in the future. Don't get into direct conflict with him. We will resolve our grievances on our own. Don't mess with him."

Although Xu Mengfei is a fearless person, this is not Dongyuan Kingdom after all, so she still has to restrain herself.

Besides, she could tell that Jamel Xiao was worried about her, so she had better be obedient to avoid causing trouble for him.

"Okay, I understand. I'll listen to you."

The two of them got to know each other better that night. In the following time, Xiao Jingheng introduced to Xu Mengfei in detail the complicated relationship between their brothers and sisters, so that she could have a general understanding first.

Xu Mengfei was listening very excitedly at first, but as time went by, she felt sleepy. The two people, who were already very tired, fell asleep without knowing when.

When the first ray of sunlight shone in in the early morning, Xu Mengfei frowned slightly and slowly opened her eyes.

Xu Mengfei, who was originally sleepy, was startled when she saw a handsome face so close to her, and she screamed subconsciously.

Xiao Jingheng was awakened by a shrill scream. Thinking something had happened, he quickly got up and asked, “What’s wrong, what’s wrong, what happened?”

Only then did Xu Mengfei slowly realize that the person in front of her was Xiao Jingheng, and they had been married yesterday.

Looking at Xiao Jingheng, who was still sleepy but obviously frightened by her, Xu Mengfei couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, I... I just woke up and forgot about it for a moment. I thought there was a strange man in my bed, so... I'm sorry, did I scare you?"

Xiao Jingheng rubbed his eyes and said softly: “It’s okay, as long as you are okay.”

Xiao Jingheng's voice was still a little hoarse because he had just woken up.

But his tone at this moment was very gentle, which made people feel itchy.

"I was listening to you very carefully last night, but I didn't know when I fell asleep."

Xiao Jingheng yawned and smiled slightly, "I was already very tired yesterday, and we talked until so late, and you fell asleep while listening."

Xu Mengfei smiled embarrassedly, "I was really too sleepy, and slept very soundly. If the sunlight wasn't too glaring, I probably wouldn't have woken up."

As they were talking, they accidentally looked at each other.

Both of them felt a little unfamiliar with the current situation and quickly looked away uncomfortably.

Xiao Jingheng coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment, "Ahem... I have to go to the palace to pay my respects later, so let's clean up first."

Upon hearing this, Xu Mengfei hurriedly nodded and called Qianluo in to help her wash and dress.
