After the rebirth of the Marquis's mistress, she smiled at the scumbag's family

When he saw the look in Xiao Yunxi's eyes, it felt like she wanted to eat him alive, and he inexplicably felt a chill on his back.

Why is this girl acting a little unusual today?

In the past, they were close but not intimate. Their relationship was just a little better than being respectful to each other. Why is she smiling so... so beautifully and seductively today?

He stared at Xiao Yunxi's enchanting face, his eyes moving downwards, "Madam, could it be that you accidentally hit yourself on the head while practicing with the whip today?"

Xiao Yunxi: ...You bastard!

"My Lord, I didn't practice with the whip today!"

"Oh? Then why does this king feel that Madam seems to be different from before?"

Of course it's different. Before, I wanted to treat you as an dispensable tree. I would rely on you if I could, and cut you down if I couldn't.

After all, having lived two lives, I have long lost interest in matters of love and the relationship between husband and wife.

But after they got married, this man protected her all the time, even when she whipped Censor Wang in the street and was reported by the Censor in the court as "arrogant and domineering, unworthy of the Emperor's grace, and unfit to be a princess of the royal family."

The man didn't even raise his eyelids, and said casually, "As a princess of the royal family and the Princess of Dingyuan, if I'm not arrogant and domineering, wouldn't that be not doing my job properly?"

Daddy said that at that time, everyone in the court was in an uproar, and the Chief Censor was so angry that his face turned black, and he almost went to see the late emperor on the spot.

He is good-looking, treats her well, is capable, and has no concubines... No matter whether you can fall in love with such a man now or in the future, you can't let him fall into the hands of others now.

"Your Highness..." Her red lips slightly raised, her beautiful eyes blinked, "I am just worried that it is cold at night, and you are so naked, be careful not to catch a cold..."

Seeing Mo Ruochen motionless, Xiao Yunxi felt a little confused. She followed his gaze downwards. Was he thinking... that I was wearing too much, or that I wasn't turbulent enough?

Just as she was about to say something, she saw Mo Ruochen walking towards her with deep eyes. His expression...

Ahem, I’m inexplicably looking forward to it. It’s sure to be another sleepless night.

The next morning, Mo Ruochen went to court refreshed. Xiao Yunxi slept until noon before getting up. After taking care of the palace affairs, she began to prune a pot of fine crabapple that Mo Ruochen had found.

Chun Xiao tried to hold back, but couldn't help it, "Princess, please...please don't be so cruel to me."

Xiao Yunxi curled her lips and looked around at the flowers in her hand. It was okay. "Isn't it pretty?"

"It's beautiful," Chun Xiao muttered, "This flower must have done something wrong in its previous life, so it has to suffer in your hands in this life."

Xiao Yunxi glared at the girl and threw the scissors aside. "Starting tomorrow, you will go to the flower room to learn from me!"

Chunxiao really didn't expect that just one sentence would get him into trouble. The greenhouse was stuffy and smelly, and there were a lot of mosquitoes...

"My Lady, you cut it very well. This crabapple flower shouldn't have green leaves. It should be stuck straight in the soil like this, just like 'a flower stuck in cow dung'. How beautiful!"

Xiao Yunxi looked at Chun Xiao with a half-smile, "A flower stuck in cow dung?"

Chun Xiao grinned and smiled flatteringly, "Princess, I heard that the flowers ten miles outside the capital are blooming very well, in large patches, and many ladies have gone there to enjoy the flowers and chat. Do you want to invite Princess Yongning to go and have some fun together?"

These words successfully diverted Xiao Yunxi's attention.

Xiao Yunxi thought for a moment and said, "Xia He, go to Sister Yun's house and ask if she is free. Chun Xiao, change your clothes and bring me the riding clothes that my mother prepared for me on the day I return home."

Chunxiao happily went to look for clothes.

Just as I changed Xiao Yunxi's clothes, I heard Xiao Yunxi say, "Remember to learn flower arrangement when you come back."

Chun Xiao's hands trembled, she wanted to cry but had no tears, "Princess, please forgive me."

After a while, the coachman brought the carriage over, Xiao Yunxi got in happily, and Chunxiao followed behind with her head down.

An hour later, the carriage stopped.

Chunxiao helped Xiao Yunxi get off the carriage. From a distance, they saw many female relatives gathered in groups of three or four to admire the flowers and catch butterflies.

"Let's go over there. There are more flowers and trees, but fewer people."

Xiao Yunxi took Chunxiao over.

Chunxiao ordered the maid, "Lay out the mat, bring the tea stove, snacks and fruits, and be careful."

Xiao Yunxi sat on the mat, waiting for Mu Qingyun while taking out a pair of scissors to continue looking for flowers to trim.

Chunxiao shuddered when he heard the "crackling" sound, and closed his mouth tightly, not daring to say anything more.

Not far away, the wife of Marquis Wu'an and the wife of Chen Daxueshi of the Hanlin Academy were taking a walk and chatting, talking and laughing.

"Madam Chen, I heard that your third daughter has successfully passed the preliminary selection for this selection?"

"Well," Mrs. Chen smiled, "thanks to you, everything went smoothly."

Although Concubine Wan did not become a noble concubine, she was not out of favor. Emperor Xuanwen would still summon her to sleep with him from time to time, and she still had some status in the palace.

With Concubine Wan's care, the third young lady of the Chen family also has a backer.

After all, the two men were quite old and had been staying in the inner house all year round, so they were a little weak. They walked and stopped, chose a place under the shade of a tree, ordered the servants to spread out mats, and sat down to rest in the cool air.

After talking about her third daughter who participated in the talent show, Mrs. Chen talked about her husband's niece. "That child is pitiful. Her parents died early. She has been raised by the old lady since she was a child. She has a very spoiled personality."

"How old is the child this year?" Lady Wu'an Hou asked hurriedly, "Has he been engaged?"

"No," Mrs. Chen had always disliked her niece, but she couldn't say bad things about her in front of outsiders. "She's only eight years old this year, but my mother-in-law is worried that when she's gone, the child will suffer in marriage, so she started looking for a couple. She's been picking and choosing for a long time, but she still hasn't found anyone she likes. She thinks they're not worthy of her precious granddaughter!"

Madam Wu'an Hou smiled and said, "She is young, so it is inevitable that she will be spoiled. She will be fine after she gets married. It will be fine as long as her future mother-in-law is reasonable."

Mrs. Chen sighed, "That being said, it's a bit too hasty. She's an eight-year-old girl. Can you also choose an eight-year-old boy?"

The wife of Marquis Wu'an smiled and said nothing, which was not a bad idea.

She held Mrs. Chen's hand and said, "It's not uncommon for an old lady to be partial. After all, the child's parents are gone, so it's inevitable that they feel sorry for him."

"Yes, I understand," Mrs. Chen nodded, "but the child is indeed spoiled and not gentle and obedient at all. He just plays crazy all day long."

"Speaking of arrogance, who in the Dali period can be as arrogant as Princess Dingyuan?"

Madam Wu'an snorted coldly, "As a second bride, not only does she not carefully serve her husband at home, but she also shows up in public every day and even whips the censor in the street. She is really fierce and rude."

Madam Chen didn't dare to respond to this. The Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion and the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion were in-laws, while the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion and the Duke of Ningguo's Mansion were mortal enemies. Xiao Yunxi was now the Princess of Dingyuan, and not someone that ordinary people could afford to offend.
