"You really don't know?"

Lu Xiaoxiao stared at Chen Lu suspiciously, "Chen Lu, I just told you not to lie to me!"

Chen Lu: “…”

Chen Lu really didn't want to say those unpleasant words, lest her master would be unhappy.

"Master, Chenlu doesn't know anything. If you want to ask, just ask me."

Seeing that her master insisted on asking for clarification, Bai Shu simply confessed: "Two days ago, when I went out to buy needles and thread, I heard the sixth lady of the Liu family saying bad things about my master behind her back. I was so angry that I couldn't help but argue with them..."

However, because Bai Zhu was a maid in the Prince's Mansion, the Sixth Miss of the Liu Family did not dare to go too far for the sake of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, fearing that it would ruin her good reputation outside. After scolding Bai Zhu a few words, she left with her people.

But Bai Zhu always kept this in mind.

She felt that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and her master truly loved each other, and that her master was really good. There was no such thing as her master being unworthy of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!

And those so-called ladies from noble families, who claim to be well-educated, gentle and dignified in public, are actually jealous all day long, putting others down and praising themselves!

It's so shameless!

"The sixth daughter of the Liu family?"

Lu Xiaoxiao frowned slightly. It seemed that there was no Liu family in her memory. She probably didn't know them. "Whose family is the Liu family? Who is the Sixth Miss? Have I seen her? Or does she know me?"

When did she offend the Sixth Miss of the Liu family, causing that Sixth Miss to speak ill of her in public without caring about her image as a lady?

"?"

Bai Zhu and Chen Lu saw that their master was not angry at all when he heard this. They looked at each other quickly and both breathed a sigh of relief.

I hope the master is not angry.

Bai Shu: "The sixth young lady of the Liu family is the daughter of Imperial Censor Liu. She just came of age this year. The master has never seen her. Even so, I don't know whether the sixth young lady Liu has seen the master..."

It turns out she is Censor Liu’s daughter.

I heard that Censor Liu was a stubborn person who favored boys over girls. He married a wife and took in six concubines, but they gave birth to eight daughters in a row.

Finally, when Censor Liu was 49 years old, he prayed for a illegitimate son. This year, the youngest son is exactly three years old.

Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sigh in her heart, Censor Liu really refuses to accept his old age.

"But, I know one thing."

Bai Zhu's voice brought Lu Xiaoxiao back to her senses. She raised her head and cleared her throat. "Tell me, what's new about the Liu family?"

"Two days before Miss Liu's coming-of-age ceremony, the Liu Residence specially sent someone to deliver an invitation to Your Highness, asking Him to go to the Liu Residence to watch Miss Liu's coming-of-age ceremony..."

At this point, Bai Yu paused, "As a result, His Highness had the letter sent back."

Lu Xiaoxiao: “…”

Well, Your Highness's actions are as decisive as ever.

After hearing this, Lu Xiaoxiao understood everything and analyzed slowly, "The invitation to the coming-of-age ceremony has been sent to the Crown Prince's residence. I know what Miss Liu Liu is thinking, no need to guess."

"Then Miss Liu Liu would say bad things about me outside. Maybe she is jealous that I can be favored by His Highness?"

Bai Zhu and Chen Lu nodded at the same time.

Bai Shu: "Maybe it's what the master thinks!"

"Okay, I know about this. You don't have to worry about me. If one day I meet Miss Liu Liu on the street, and she dares to say bad things about me, I will definitely not let her go easily!"

Lu Xiaoxiao had a fierce look on his face and raised his fists tightly.

At that time, she would just pull His Highness out to deal with Miss Liu Liu. After all, it was His Highness who caused the trouble, so naturally it was His Highness who should deal with it.

As for her, she was too busy eating melons to bother with Miss Liu Liu!

"By the way, Bai Shu, Concubine Sister said she has prepared new clothes for me to wear at tomorrow's birthday party. Where did you put them?"

As soon as these words came out, Bai Zhu hurriedly said, "I have already arranged them and placed them behind the screen. Master, do you want to try them out?"

Lu Xiaoxiao nodded and walked towards the screen.

Chen Lu quickly followed: "Master, I will help you."

-

Liu Mansion, the home of Censor Liu.

"Auntie!"

Miss Liu Liu, also known as Liu Ruyin, walked in hurriedly from outside.

Seeing the beautiful woman sitting at the desk keeping accounts, Miss Liu Liu quickened her pace, hugged her arm, and said coquettishly: "Mother, I heard that the prince's mansion will hold a banquet tomorrow, and I want to go too. Mother, please help me think of a solution!"

Hearing this, Liu Chen's fingers paused and she put the pen aside. She turned her head and looked at her precious daughter tenderly. She shook her head helplessly, "Yin'er, the Liu Mansion has not received the invitation from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Even if you want to go, you can't get in without an invitation."

"Mother can't help you."

Hearing A Niang's refusal, Miss Liu stamped her feet in anger and said, "I don't care. I just want to go to the Crown Prince's Mansion and see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Before I reached the age of 15, I had already fallen in love with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Daddy clearly said that as soon as I reached the age of 15, he would send me to the Crown Prince's mansion and make me His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's woman."

"But I've waited for so long, but I still haven't been able to wait for Daddy to fulfill his promise..."

"If I don't go into the Crown Prince's Mansion, then His Royal Highness will really be seduced by that shameless Lu Xiaoxiao!"

"Mother, you have to help me. I am your only daughter. If you don't help me, no one else will help me..."

"Yin'er..."

Mrs. Liu Chen frowned, looking embarrassed, not knowing how to answer her daughter.

Yin'er is her daughter who she gave birth to after risking her life, so naturally she will do everything she can to love her and get her what she wants.

But her daughter wanted to enter the Prince's Mansion and marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Liu Chen really had no way to stop her. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was the most favored legitimate son of the Emperor and the next Emperor of Li. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was unwilling, who would dare to force him to marry?

Even if he is his own master, even if he is the Imperial Censor, so what? He has no say in front of the emperor.

"Mother, why are you ignoring me? Don't you love me anymore and don't want to help me?"

Miss Liu Liu's eyes instantly turned red as she didn't hear A Niang's response. Tears welled up in her eyes. "If I can't marry the Crown Prince in this life, then I will become a nun!"

Liu Chen looked at her in shock, wondering for a moment if she had misheard, "Yin'er, what did you just say?"

"I said, I want to be the Crown Princess!"

Liu Chen: “…”

Miss Liu Liu gnashed her teeth and said, "If I can't become a nun, I will become a nun!"

Liu Chen stared at her in silence for a moment. Listening to her threat, Liu Chen sighed, "Yin'er, let mother think about it first."

"How long will it take, mother?"

Miss Liu Liu was anxious: "I want to go to the Prince's Mansion to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince tomorrow! Mother must help me get the invitation first!"

Mrs. Liu Chen was given a headache by her noise.

Now my daughter's whole heart is on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. There is no way to persuade her. It would be better to let her meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is interested in her...

"Okay, mother promises you."

Liu Chenshi: "Mother and the eldest prince's wife's mother are close friends. I will immediately send someone to the eldest prince's mansion to tell her and ask her to promise to take you to the crown prince's mansion tomorrow. Is that okay?"

"Really?"

Miss Liu Liu was delighted and said happily: "Mother, you are so kind, I love you the most!"

"I didn't expect that my mother could ask the eldest prince's wife to take me with her!"

Mrs. Liu Chen smiled and said nothing.

She believed that the Crown Princess would definitely agree to her request. After all, she had saved her life before.

The eldest prince's wife should repay her for saving her life.

-

In the Prince's Mansion.

After trying on the new clothes, Lu Xiaoxiao remembered that she had to coax the Crown Prince whom she had forgotten about.

Xie Xi did not follow Lu Xiaoxiao into the room. He sat in the pavilion in the yard. There was a chessboard on the stone table. He held the black piece in one hand and the white piece in the other, and placed them on the board one by one slowly.

Seeing how serious His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was, Lu Xiaoxiao immediately slowed down her pace and approached the pavilion quietly without making any noise.

Xie Xi's eyes were focused, as if he was unaware that there was one more person in the yard.

[When His Highness is serious, he looks even more handsome! ]

[I wonder if Your Highness is still angry with me? ]

[Your Highness seems to be a bit irritable recently? Not only does he have to eat the jealousy of his fifth brother, but he also has to eat the jealousy of his sister, the concubine. It's really too hard for me! ]

[But, Your Highness, you look cute when you're jealous, right? ]

Xie Xi: “…”

For the first time, I felt that I could hear my little heart’s voice, which seemed not so good.

This game of chess is ruined.

Xie Xi sighed inwardly.

At this time, Lu Xiaoxiao had sneaked up behind Xie Xi. Seeing that Xie Xi was still studying the chessboard, she curved her eyes, quickly reached out her hand to cover his eyes, coughed lightly, and deliberately lowered her voice: "Who am I?"

Before she finished speaking, Xie Xi held her hand, still letting her cover her eyes, and said with a hint of smile: "Xiaoxiao."

"Your Highness has guessed that it was me."

Lu Xiaoxiao simply put down her hand, held Xie Xi's hand tightly, and sat down next to him.

Her fingertips gently tickled the palm of his hand. Lu Xiaoxiao held her chin with one hand and stared at Xie Xi pitifully, "Your Highness, are you still angry?"

Xie Xi: "What if I say yes?"

Lu Xiaoxiao answered without hesitation: "Then I will coax Your Highness until Your Highness is happy?"

Xie Xi: "Then how are you going to comfort me?"

"This……"

Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes turned, and she saw that there were only her and His Highness in the courtyard at this time. Couldn't she do whatever she wanted to His Highness?

When she thought of certain scenes, Lu Xiaoxiao's face instantly turned red.

Her porcelain-white cheeks are rosy and tender, and look very cute.

She couldn't help but secretly glance at Xie Xi, and was caught by his gaze.

Xie Xi raised his eyebrows, his deep eyes full of smiles, "Hmm?"

"Cough cough."

Lu Xiaoxiao barely suppressed the heat on her face and moved a little closer to Xie Xi. She leaned over and suddenly grabbed his collar with one hand, and pulled him down with force using her fingers.

Xie Xi was stunned and failed to react for a moment.

Lu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, with a narrow smile in her eyes: "Then how do you want me to coax you, Your Highness?"

"so?"

She deliberately put her hand close to his earlobe.

Blowing a breath playfully and biting it gently, Lu Xiaoxiao deliberately lowered her voice with a hint of smile: "Still like this?"

Xie Xi felt his heart tremble instantly, as if his soul was about to be taken away by her.

His Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he closed his eyes and then opened them again.

After just a moment, Lu Xiaoxiao quickly loosened Xie Xi's collar again.

She opened her eyes and stared at him, her gaze was warm and burning: "Your Highness, are you still angry?"

His Highness pursed his lips tightly, but his jade-like earlobes were as red as dripping blood.

"Xiao Xiao, you——"

Xie Xi stood up suddenly, not daring to look at Lu Xiaoxiao, but his voice was a little hoarse: "It's getting late, I'll go back to the front yard first, I'll come back tomorrow, tomorrow."

After saying that, before Lu Xiaoxiao could react, Xie Xi had already walked out of the pavilion at a quick pace. Looking at his back, he seemed a little panicked.

Lu Xiaoxiao: ???

[Oops, I think I scared His Highness away? ? ]

[But, your ears are red, so cute! ]

[Your Highness, were you shy just now? 】

Xie Xi staggered when he suddenly heard these words and almost fell forward. Fortunately, he had learned martial arts and reacted in time to stabilize his body.

However, Lu Xiaoxiao still noticed it.

She covered her lips and chuckled.

[I never thought that His Highness would look like this when he was shy. He almost fell to the ground...]

Xie Xi: “…”

-

The next day, I had a good night's sleep.

Because there was going to be a banquet at the Prince's Mansion today, Lu Xiaoxiao was called up by Bai Zhi and Bai Zhu at around 5 a.m. to get dressed.

After washing, Lu Xiaoxiao closed her eyes and let Baizhi and Baizhu dress her.

Chen Wu went to the kitchen early to keep an eye on things. His Highness had reminded her yesterday that the master must be served a bowl of longevity noodles for breakfast.

Chen Lu was also busy in the yard, cleaning everything around.

After Lu Xiaoxiao put on her new clothes, Bai Zhi and Bai Zhu continued to work on her face. After carefully putting makeup on her, they began to comb her hair and choose a hairpin.

"Which hairpin would you like to wear today, Master?"

Bai Zhu asked.

Lu Xiaoxiao yawned, opened her eyes with difficulty, glanced at the dressing table, and saw a hairpin that she had never seen before, so she asked: "Bai Shu, what is that hairpin...?"

Bai Shu: "Master, this was sent by the Concubine yesterday, but the Master had already gone to bed, so I did not enter without permission to disturb the Master's rest."

"Was it given by my sister, the concubine?"

Lu Xiaoxiao sobered up a little: "Then wear this hairpin given by the concubine sister."

"Yes, master."

Atractylodes should be taken.

After Bai Zhi had deftly tied up the hair into a bun, Bai Zhu picked up the elegant pearl hairpin and gently inserted it into the bun.

Bai Zhu couldn't help but praise: "Master, you look so beautiful today. The pearl hairpin that Concubine chose for you is very suitable for you."

"really?"

Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up slightly, and her face showed joy, but she thought in her heart: If His Highness heard this, I'm afraid he would be jealous again.
