The Ninth Princess is beautiful and sassy

In the eyes of the queen, even though Chu Dongling and Long Qian were always quarreling, it was still a kind of happiness.

At least they are loyal to each other and will think of each other first no matter what happens.

It was Qianqian who made her son a flesh-and-blood person. Marrying Qianqian was the best thing Ling'er had ever done in his life.

"They said Yun Shiyi also likes you. Xiaozhe, what do you think? Can you tell your stepmother the truth?" The queen held Chu Xiaozhe's hand again.

"He said he... likes me?" Chu Xiaozhe stood up.

"Yes." The queen nodded, "They said that if Yun Shiyi didn't like you, he wouldn't be willing to stay with you all night."

"That's just because he hurt me by accident and he felt he owed me." Chu Xiaozhe turned sideways and sat down.

Who on earth was talking nonsense in front of the Empress? Lady Hongchou? Doctor Qiu?

Chu Xiaozhe might have guessed that they said this to make the queen feel better, but how could she keep up this lie?
"So do you like Eleven?" the queen asked seriously.

Chu Xiaozhe was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "I like it very much."

As long as the Empress is happy, whether she likes it or not is just a matter of words, right?
"Xiaozhe, your medicine... is ready." Yun Shiyi's voice suddenly came.

Chu Xiaozhe never expected that someone was right behind her. When did he come in? Could he have heard her conversation with the Empress?
Is your Qinggong so good? You walk without making any sound?
"Okay, thank you!" Chu Xiaozhe finally reacted and retracted his gaze, "You... just put it on the table."

"Then I'll put it on the table. Remember to drink it." Yun Shiyi put it in the medicine soup and turned away.

There was still no sound. Chu Xiaozhe didn't look back and was unaware of the fact that he had left.

Looking at the empty room, she breathed a sigh of relief.

The Queen saw the interaction between the two for the first time and smiled with her hands covering her lips.

Chu Xiaozhe turned around, met her gaze, and forced a smile: "I like him, and I don't know what he means to me." "My queen, this can't be rushed! Besides, I'm grown up, and my own affairs..."

"Xiaozhe." A familiar voice came from behind again, "I put the preserved fruits you like here."

Chu Xiaozhe turned around suddenly and looked at those really beautiful eyes. He really wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

Why is he here again? She just took the initiative to say that she liked him, he must have heard it, right?
"Yeah." She finally mustered up the courage to nod, then turned her head back stiffly.

Yun Shiyi did not leave this time. Perhaps he was also shocked by what Chu Xiaozhe said?

She said she liked me, so wasn't she resisting his approaching her these past two days?
The man, who had no idea what love was, stared at the girl's back without blinking, unable to say a word.

“Hahaha…” The queen smiled and waved at Yun Shiyi, “Shiyi, come here.”

Chu Xiaozhe immediately lowered his head. Why did the queen let him come over? It was so embarrassing!

Yun Shiyi picked up the medicine and walked to the bedside: "Xiaozhe, drink the medicine first. It will be more bitter if it gets cold."

As soon as the voice came, the medicinal soup and preserved fruits appeared before our eyes.

Chu Xiaozhe took the bowl casually, closed his eyes and swallowed all the medicine in one breath.

When I opened my eyes, the preserved fruit was right next to my mouth.

"Thank you!" She took the candied fruit and put it in her mouth.

His palms were broad and his fingers were long, with calluses from long-term sword practice, making him very similar to his eldest brother.

She had drunk what she was supposed to drink and eaten what she was supposed to eat. Can he leave now? (End of this chapter)
