Lu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, and then said, "Someone has sent people from the Lu family to come here and take me back to the Lu family. Perhaps they want to use me to threaten Your Highness?"

[Only a few people would think of this little trick. ]

[Either the Fourth Prince, or the Concubine Shu and the First Prince...]

Lu Xiaoxiao really didn’t understand what rumors they had heard and why they were setting their sights on her at this moment?

Could it be that they think that by capturing her they can threaten His Highness?

Xie Xi could naturally guess what Lu Xiaoxiao could think of. His eyes darkened, but soon faded away, and he looked at her softly: "Don't worry, leave this matter to me, it won't happen again."

If the Lu family continues to be tactless and insists on making trouble in front of Xiaoxiao, then there is no need for them to stay in Shengjing any longer.

Lu Xiaoxiao blinked, and the dimples on her cheeks slightly spread out: "That's what my sister said, let me leave these matters to His Highness."

Xie Xi hummed softly and inadvertently glanced at the box placed next to him.

"what is that?"

When he saw the needle, thread and cloth inside, Xie Xi frowned slightly, leaned over and was about to pick up the cloth.

"and many more!"

Sensing His Highness's movements, Lu Xiaoxiao quickly grabbed his hand, stood up suddenly, and blocked the box behind her. She tilted her head slightly, her porcelain-white cheeks flushed, and her eyes wandered: "No, you can't look."

Xie Xi was puzzled: ???

Is there anything he can't see?

Xie Xi retracted his gaze and stared at Lu Xiaoxiao thoughtfully, but saw that she seemed a little nervous at this moment.

Just about to speak——

[This is a surprise I prepared for Your Highness. You must not let Your Highness find out in advance! ]

[What's more, I can't even admit that I made that piece of fabric which is totally unrecognizable! ! ]

So you wanted to make clothes for him?

A hint of understanding flashed across Xie Xi's eyes. He curled his lips and the expression on his face became softer.

He also didn't expect that Xiaoxiao would prepare a surprise for him.

"Your Highness?"

Seeing that His Highness remained silent, Lu Xiaoxiao was unsure of what was in His Highness's mind. If His Highness insisted on seeing it, then what excuse could she use to fool him?

Anyway, no matter what, she would never let His Highness take another look at it before the undergarment was ready!

Lu Xiaoxiao made up her mind.

However, what she expected did not happen at all. She saw His Highness rub her head with a smile and gently responded, "Okay, I won't watch it."

"?"

Lu Xiaoxiao didn't expect His Highness to be so straightforward, which made her a little confused.

She looked a little doubtful: "Really not going to watch it?"

Xie Xi curled his lips: "Well, I'll listen to you."

"...!"

His Highness was being a little well-behaved at this moment. Meeting his smiling eyes, Lu Xiaoxiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to hug him.

Her eyes were full of smiles, and she said with a smile: "Your Highness, do you still need to deal with memorials tonight?"

"Before coming here, I had already dealt with those memorials."

Xie Xi lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead, speaking in a steady tone, "My father's birthday banquet is coming soon. Today, the envoys from Fan and Rong have arrived in Shengjing. I will be very busy during this period, and I am afraid I will not be able to return home to have dinner with you."

"If you get bored staying in the mansion, call the guards and go out for a walk with Concubine Xiao."

[The envoys from the Fan and Rong countries also came to attend the emperor's birthday banquet? But the fourth prince was still thinking of setting up a trap that day. If the birthday banquet was ruined, wouldn't it make the envoys of the two countries laugh at it? ]

[Besides, I still have a mission to complete that day...]

Thinking of this, Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel worried. She frowned, looked at Xie Xi hesitantly, and lowered her soft voice: "Your Highness, the Fourth Prince..."

"I know everything. Don't worry. I will make arrangements."

Xie Xi had long realized that his father was also keeping an eye on his fourth younger brother. If his fourth younger brother did anything inappropriate, his father would certainly not let him off easily.

Even if his father couldn't bear to take action in the end, he would not let his fourth younger brother continue to make mistakes.

"That's good."

After receiving the assurance from His Highness, Lu Xiaoxiao felt relieved for the time being.

Seeing that it was getting late, and thinking that His Highness had not slept last night and had stayed up all night processing memorials, Lu Xiaoxiao felt distressed and urged, "Why don't you go to bed first, Your Highness?"

Hearing this, Xie Xi was slightly startled.

The words that Lu Xiaoxiao had secretly said in her heart this morning seemed to echo in her ears again. Xie Xi pursed his lips, his Adam's apple rolled slightly, and the tips of his ears instantly turned red.

He stared at her, his voice suddenly becoming hoarse: "Well, Xiaoxiao, are you sleepy?"

"what?"

Lu Xiaoxiao shook her head subconsciously, "I'm not sleepy."

Xie Xi lowered his head and stroked her cheek, "No, you are sleepy."

Lu Xiaoxiao: “…”

Maybe there is a kind of sleepiness called "Your Highness feels she is sleepy?"

Lu Xiaoxiao didn't know how to refute for a moment, and was brought to the bed by Xie Xi in a daze.

Lu Xiaoxiao:?

"Don't move, stay with me."

Seeing that Lu Xiaoxiao still wanted to get up, Xie Xi pressed her down on the couch again and pulled the quilt over her. His tone was inexplicably low: "I'm tired, just think of it as feeling sorry for me, okay?"

Lu Xiaoxiao, who had never seen His Highness show weakness, was stunned for a moment. She blinked, and her heart inexplicably ached, so she began to explain: "Your Highness, I just want to tell Bai Zhi and the others to come and knock on the door near the hour of Mao tomorrow, so as not to delay His Highness's morning court."

Although she had been sleeping in the same bed with His Highness these days, in reality, they were purer than water, and His Highness had never thought of touching her...

But she was not mentally prepared. After all, she had just reached the age of 15 and could not bear it at all.

"No need."

Xie Xi comforted her: "Mu Qing will wait outside the yard. I will not delay the morning court tomorrow."

As he spoke, he suddenly chuckled, bent his bony fingers slightly, and tapped her forehead lightly, "Can you rest assured now?"

Lu Xiaoxiao subconsciously covered her forehead and said aggrievedly: "I am just worried about Your Highness..."

Seeing the little girl so aggrieved, Xie Xi's heart softened. He withdrew his hand and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no mark on her forehead.

He kissed the corner of her lips tenderly, his deep eyes reflecting her appearance, and he whispered to admit his fault, "It's my fault, Xiaoxiao, can you forgive me?"

"……All right."

Lu Xiaoxiao was a little overwhelmed and wanted to pounce on him, but when she thought that she had just come of age, all the impulse disappeared completely.

Lu Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, pulled the quilt to wrap herself up, and kept chanting the Heart Purification Mantra in her heart, "Your Highness, it's time for you to sleep."

Xie Xi was still waiting for Lu Xiaoxiao to do whatever she wanted to him, but he saw her trying to wrap herself up, and she even snatched the quilt away from her...
