The mind-reading sick prince led me and the system to go crazy

Meeting Princess Fan Qi's shocked and puzzled gaze, Lu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips with an innocent look.

Lu Xiaoxiao really didn't expect that the fifth royal brother would come so soon. She was afraid that the conversation between her and Princess Fan Qi just now was heard clearly by the fifth royal brother.

However, the fifth prince came in too haste, couldn’t he wait a little longer?

What if Princess Fan Qi was overthinking it?

Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but complain in her heart, but pretended to be calm and composed on the surface, and made up a story to Princess Fan Qi: "The Crown Prince must have informed the Fifth Prince about my visit to Zui Xiang Lou. The Fifth Prince came to see me so anxiously, I'm afraid there is something important."

The Seventh Princess of Fan State nodded thoughtfully, "No wonder Prince Yue came to Zui Xiang Lou..."

Lu Xiaoxiao didn't know whether Princess Fan Qi believed her words or not. She coughed lightly and continued, "It's just right that Bai Zhi doesn't have to go there. Princess Fan Qi, please wait for a moment. After I ask the fifth brother, you can talk to him clearly, okay?"

Princess Fan hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay."

Lu Xiaoxiao stood up and walked quickly to the door. She took a deep breath and raised her hand to open the door.

Xie Yue was standing outside.

Bai Zhi turned sideways and looked at her master, a helpless expression on her face, and called out "Master".

If she hadn't tried hard to stop him, the Fifth Prince would have rushed in directly.

Lu Xiaoxiao: “…”

Seeing the fifth brother about to come in excitedly, Lu Xiaoxiao quickly stopped him, "Wait——"

She lowered her voice and motioned Bai Zhi to close the door first: "Fifth brother, come out with me first."

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"

Seeing that the door was closed, Xie Yue had no choice but to follow his sister-in-law to the other side. Thinking of the Seventh Princess of Fan State who was still in the private room, he became a little worried and asked nervously, "But what did the Seventh Princess of Fan State say just now?"

Lu Xiaoxiao was suddenly speechless.

[The Fifth Prince is such a love-minded person, it's amazing! How come I didn't realize that the Fifth Prince actually had such a nature before? ]

Xie Yue: ???

Love brain?

What on earth is in the mind of the little sister-in-law?!

Lu Xiaoxiao resisted the urge to roll her eyes and said helplessly, "Princess Fan Qi asked why you appeared in Zui Xiang Lou at this time."

"!"

After hearing this, Xie Yue reacted instantly.

He really showed up too quickly.

But when he heard that Princess Fan Qi wanted to see him, he ignored everything else, opened the door and walked out. Even his brother the Crown Prince wanted to stop him, but couldn't.

"Sister-in-law, how did you answer?"

Princess Fan Qi must not be allowed to know that I was eavesdropping on their conversation in the next room!!

I am afraid that Princess Fan Qi will be unhappy with my ungentlemanly behavior.

[Hmm, now you know you need to be nervous? ]

Lu Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and said slowly: "I just said that Fifth Brother, you were originally--"

Xie Yue's eyes suddenly widened and he held his breath in nervousness.

Lu Xiaoxiao suppressed her laughter and blinked at him, "Fifth brother, it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who told you that I was in Zui Xiang Lou, right? I don't know why Fifth brother suddenly came to see me, but what do you want to say?"

Xie Yue understood and breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, sister-in-law, I want to trouble you for help with something."

Having said this, Xie Yue deliberately raised his voice, fearing that Princess Fan Qi in the private room could not hear him.

Lu Xiaoxiao was happy to cooperate with him: "Fifth brother, if you have anything to say, just tell me. If I can help, I will help."

Xie Yue: "Then I would like to thank my sister-in-law first."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xie Xi walking out from the private room next door.

Lu Xiaoxiao was speechless: "Why is His Highness here too?"

[Your Highness, are you going to join in the fun along with your fifth brother? ]

[Luckily, Princess Fan Qi didn’t follow me out just now. If she had seen His Highness coming out of the next private room, Princess Fan Qi would have definitely guessed that the Fifth Prince was eavesdropping! ]

Listening to his sister-in-law's inner voice, Xie Yue couldn't help but glared at his brother the Crown Prince and said silently: Brother Crown Prince, don't come out and ruin my good deeds!

However, Xie Xi didn't even glance at his fifth younger brother.

Xie Xi walked over and stopped in front of Lu Xiaoxiao. He raised his hand and gently stroked her slightly messy hair, and said in a gentle tone: "Are you done talking?"

Lu Xiaoxiao nodded and said softly, "The rest will be left to them. Your Highness, do you want to go back home?"

Xie Xi lowered his head, and gently hooked his slender fingers around her sleeves, his Adam's apple rolling slightly: "Well, Xiaoxiao should take care of me, too."

Xie Yue was ignored: “……?”

Wait, does the Crown Prince really think he doesn't exist?

It was a rare sight to see His Highness acting like a spoiled child towards her, and Lu Xiaoxiao was immediately charmed to the point of almost forgetting her business, and all she wanted to do was follow His Highness.

Fortunately, Xie Yue's resentful look was too strong, which barely allowed Lu Xiaoxiao to regain some sanity. She gently patted the back of her prince's hand, signaling him to wait a little longer.

"I'll go in and talk to Princess Fan Qi first."

Xie Xi: "Okay."

Xie Yue pointed at himself: "What about me, little sister-in-law?"

"you--"

Lu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, "Fifth brother, follow me in."

"Baizhi, open the door."

Bai Zhi: "Yes, Master."

The door was opened, and as soon as I looked up, I could see the slender and pretty figure sitting at the table.

Lu Xiaoxiao walked in first.

Xie Yue hurriedly followed.

Princess Fan Qi turned around immediately after hearing the footsteps. When she saw Lu Xiaoxiao and Xie Yue, she was stunned for a moment before she spoke: "Xiaoxiao, Prince Yue, have you finished discussing your matters?"

"Ah."

Lu Xiaoxiao nodded: "Seventh Princess, I have some things to deal with back home. Can you and Fifth Brother talk it out here?"

"If you are worried, I can leave my maid Bai Zhi here."

The Seventh Princess of Fan State raised her eyes to glance at Xie Yue and shook her head: "No need, there is no need for Prince Yue and I to be so unfamiliar with each other."

When Xie Yue heard this, the tips of his ears suddenly turned red.

He pretended to be calm, but he couldn't help but secretly glance at Princess Fan Qi. When she looked back, he quickly withdrew his gaze and pretended nothing had happened.

The Seventh Princess of Fan State did not notice the abnormality of Prince Yue. She continued, "Besides, I came here to keep Xiaoxiao's appointment. No one except Xiaoxiao would know that Prince Yue and I were discussing something in the private room."

Lu Xiaoxiao: “…”

Since the seven princesses of Fan State didn't care, Lu Xiaoxiao said something to Bai Zhi to stay and guard the place. After saying goodbye, she turned around and left.

Only the Seventh Princess of Fan State and Xie Yue were left in the private room.

After Lu Xiaoxiao came out, she walked directly to Xie Xi's side and took his hand. She raised her face slightly and smiled at Xie Xi: "Your Highness, let's go back."

Xie Xi lowered his head and smiled: "Let's go."

Seeing that His Highness and the Master had left, Bai Zhi immediately followed them.

Mu Qing followed them slowly.

-

After coming out of Zui Xiang Lou, Lu Xiaoxiao stood at the door and looked around, but didn't see the carriage: "Your Highness, are we going to walk back home?"

Xie Xi: "Don't rush back home, I will accompany you for a walk."

Hearing this, Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up slightly, "Then Your Highness, where are we going?"

Xie Xi deliberately didn't say anything: "Just follow me and you'll know where to go."

Lu Xiaoxiao: "Where exactly is this place? Why has His Highness suddenly become so mysterious?"

Xie Xi: "When the time comes, you will know."

Lu Xiaoxiao: "Okay, no matter where your Highness goes, I will follow you."

Xie Xi tapped her forehead with his finger and said with a smile, "Let's go."

"Don't hit me!"

Lu Xiaoxiao glared at him in pretended anger.

Xie Xi: "Okay, I'll listen to Xiao Xiao."

Seeing His Highness being so cooperative, Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh out loud.

[Your Highness is really good at talking today~]

Bai Zhi and Mu Qing followed from a distance behind, not going forward to disturb the two masters' interaction.

At this hour, the streets were still crowded with people coming and going.

Xie Xi protected Lu Xiaoxiao, almost completely holding her in his arms.

He frowned, looking at the people rushing towards them, Xie Xi was immediately worried that Xiao Xiao would be squeezed: "Be careful, don't let go of my hand, remember?"

"it is good."

After Lu Xiaoxiao responded, she also noticed that there were many more literati and scholars around. She thought about it and finally remembered: "Your Highness, there seems to be a lantern festival in the city tonight."

"Lantern party?"

Xie Xi had never paid attention to these things. Only when he heard Lu Xiaoxiao talking about it did he know about it: "Xiaoxiao, do you want to see it?"

The Lantern Festival in Shengjing City has always been funded and organized by scholars and literati, and no one from the royal family would get involved.

It is precisely because of this that Xie Xi has not participated in the Lantern Festival for so many years.

"I don't really want to, I'm just curious for a moment."

It can be seen that His Highness is not very interested in the Lantern Festival, and Lu Xiaoxiao does not want to force His Highness to accompany her to watch something he does not like.

Lu Xiaoxiao paused and quickly changed the subject: "Compared to the Lantern Festival, I want to know where Your Highness wants to take me!"

But Xie Xi had already seen through her little thoughts.

"It's coming soon."

Xie Xi said.

Lu Xiaoxiao nodded, wondering how fast the "soon" that His Highness mentioned could be.

It was not until she was led by His Highness into a small alley and walked out that Lu Xiaoxiao inadvertently looked forward and was stunned for a moment.

"Your Highness, you..."

[This, this is actually a food court! ! ]

[How did Your Highness find this place? Why are there so many food stalls? ]

Lu Xiaoxiao was completely shocked, and she subconsciously took a step forward.

Suddenly, Lu Xiaoxiao noticed that the lady selling wontons at the first stall seemed familiar.

Lu Xiaoxiao:!!!

"Your Highness, why are the cooks in the Prince's Mansion setting up stalls to sell wontons?"

Lu Xiaoxiao recognized her. The person standing in the front was Aunt Liu who helped wash vegetables in the kitchen of the mansion.

And the second one...

"That, and that one seems to be Xie San, right?"

[When did even Xie San change his job? He stopped being a secret guard and went out to sell pancakes on the street!? ]

There were many familiar faces among them, but Lu Xiaoxiao did not remember their names. She only vaguely remembered that they worked in the Prince's Mansion.

Not only Lu Xiaoxiao was confused, but even Bai Zhi who had been following behind was dumbfounded.

Guard Mu Qing, on the other hand, seemed to have known this for a long time. He still had a blank expression on his face and was not panicked at all.

"Your Highness, what is going on?"

Lu Xiaoxiao pulled Xie Xi's hand hard, looking puzzled: "What mission do they have?"

"If we go over there, will it delay their business?"

"will not."

Xie Xi spoke up: "They do have a mission today, but their mission today is to make you happy."

Lu Xiaoxiao: ???

Looking at Xie San, who was making pancakes at the stall with a gloomy face, Lu Xiaoxiao realized: "Your Highness, did you arrange all this?"

"Ah."

Xie Xi nodded.

Lu Xiaoxiao felt strange, "Why did His Highness arrange for them to do this?"

"I want to give you a surprise."

Xie Xi lowered his eyes and stared at Lu Xiaoxiao tenderly. He curled the corners of his lips slightly and chuckled, "Xiaoxiao, do you still remember what day tomorrow is?"

"tomorrow?"

After hearing this, Lu Xiaoxiao was confused again, "I... I don't remember."

[However, why did Your Highness prepare a surprise for me? ]

"I knew you didn't remember."

Xie Xi shook his head helplessly, "But that doesn't matter, I can remember it."

"What day?"

"Your birthday."

"My...birthday?"

"Well, Xiaoxiao, tomorrow is your birthday."

[Ah, I really didn’t remember that my birthday is almost here! ]

[I didn't expect His Highness to remember it! ]

The moment before hearing the answer, Lu Xiaoxiao had completely forgotten that her birthday had not yet passed this year.

Come to think of it, she has been the "Lu Xiaoxiao" in the book for almost a year, and has been with His Highness for such a long time...

Lu Xiaoxiao suddenly felt her eyes sore, and she had an inexplicable urge to cry. She raised her head and looked at Xie Xi with red eyes: "Your Highness, I like the surprise you prepared."

"But why prepare the surprise today instead of tomorrow?"

Xie Xi lowered his eyes, and his slender fingers gently fell on her face, brushing across her slightly red eyes, and whispered: "I want to hold a birthday party for you at home tomorrow, and I have even sent out the invitations."

"I thought that you always liked to eat these outside, but I felt that the food outside might not be as delicious as the one made by the cooks in your house, so I asked them to set up stalls to please you..."

"Ah? Birthday party? Invitation?"

The tears of emotion stopped instantly, and Lu Xiaoxiao was shocked: "Why didn't Your Highness tell me in advance?"

"Also, who will be invited to the birthday party?"

[What if someone looks down on me and wants to cause trouble at my birthday party? If I ruin the birthday party, it will be a waste of your kindness...]

Xie Xi quickly spoke to comfort her: "Xiaoxiao, don't worry, I just invited a few of my brothers to come to my house, they don't dare to make trouble in front of me, and I have also sent invitations to my father and mother..."
