Dress up as a sickly person to capture the villain princess!

"Drip! Drip! Drip!"

"Warning host, the system has detected the target's strong emotional fluctuations towards you!"

Holding out her chopsticks, Xia Zhiyuan was still thinking about what dish to pick up, but her mind told her that in order to maintain her image as a sickly girl, she had to pick up something light - those green leaves that looked unappetizing.

However, Xia Zhiyuan's original intention was to eat the stewed lamb with fat and lean ingredients. But before he could reach out his chopsticks, he heard the system's warning voice suddenly ringing in his mind.

No way, what could happen during a meal?

Could it be that someone has boldly expressed his love to Her Royal Highness the Princess? Oh no, it seems that this actually happened in the original novel.

Xia Zhiyuan's eyes darkened. Well, compared to food, his career is more important.

So Xia Zhiyuan covered his face with his sleeves, put a handkerchief to his lips, turned sideways, and coughed twice.

The people around her were already used to it, as Minister Xia's daughter was just so frail and sickly, so Xia Zhiyuan took advantage of this opportunity to secretly take a look at her.

But when he looked up, his gaze met that of Her Royal Highness the Princess. It turned out that the eldest princess was also secretly looking at him.

At some point, a string of red Buddhist beads had appeared on her fair wrist, which set off her very well, making her look like a devout believer.

However, Zhao Changlin does not believe in Buddhism.

The ones who believed in Buddha were her mother and father.

Instead of asking God for help, it is better to ask yourself.

"What happened? Can you tell me specifically why... Your Highness' mood swings are so severe?"

If he only looked at his expression, Xia Zhiyuan couldn't catch any useful information. Zhao Changlin seemed calm and steady, and there was no sign of any change. Xia Zhiyuan sighed and could only rely on his own guesses, but this was too speculative.

And if you take a wrong step, all of them will be wrong.

I have to be more careful.

It is better to confirm it with your own system before making a decision.

"This... This system doesn't know either, but this feeling has disappeared. If you do anything next time, this system will continue to remind you, host."

"Of course, host, you can also cancel this function. After all, this function is only in the trial stage!"

It is better not to cancel it. It is always right to let the system remind you. At least you can avoid pitfalls in advance.

It seems that something really happened just now that could affect the princess's mood. Is it related to me?

This was only the second time the two met, but Xia Zhiyuan could still clearly remember the eldest princess's appearance when they first met. It was exactly the same as described in the book.

It’s just that... the eldest princess has a little more charm, but Xia Zhiyuan also saw more of the different Princess Changyi in the book.

Rather than being ruthless, it would be more accurate to say that she holds great power and has a very clear understanding of what she is doing.

Those eyes were very beautiful, and when they looked at him, they were full of affection, which made Xia Zhiyuan feel a little fascinated.

At this moment, a young man in a purple robe appeared in the front, with a jade crown on his head and two golden tassels hanging from his temples.

"Your Highness, I have found some good things for you."

"This is a treasure brought back from the Western Regions."

"I wonder...whether Your Highness likes it?"

After saying that, he sent someone holding a box in both hands to hand it over. Zhao Changlin frowned slightly, wondering why another person came to give a gift in public.

Do you really think this place is a trash can?

"Someone, take the gift down."

Sitting on the chair, without moving, Zhao Changlin lightly tapped his cheek with his fingertips and raised his eyes.

"Why don't you step back...do you have something to say?"

The maid serving on the side heard Zhao Changlin's order, and immediately stood up and took the exquisite box from the man's hand.

Faced with the sudden questioning, the man was obviously prepared. He smiled lightly, put his hands together, and made a half-bow gesture.

"I have something to say to the princess."

"Her Royal Highness once said that if she didn't have someone she loved, she would never marry in her life. So... if I am willing to marry Her Royal Highness..."

The man in the jade crown had a handsome face and a slightly shy expression. His face, illuminated by the candlelight, attracted everyone's attention.

This was a plot in the original novel. Xia Zhiyuan was not shocked at all. He just carefully observed the stunned expressions of the people around him.

Can't help but feel a little funny.

Sorry... She has received professional training and will never laugh unless something is extremely funny.

"unnecessary."

The female voice was very pleasant, but the words she said were so cold and chilling that the man froze in place, almost unable to believe it.

Although he was not as famous as his brother in the capital, he was still the son of an aristocratic family. Wherever he went, countless young ladies from noble families would vie for marriage proposals to him.

Now he is willing to marry into the princess's mansion, but he didn't expect that Her Royal Highness the Princess would look down on him... It must be that he is too ugly.

This made Her Royal Highness the Princess feel annoyed.

Dispirited, he retreated obediently.

Just as he took two steps up the stairs, he saw Zhao Changlin pointing his finger at the man's back and said another sentence.

"Wait a minute."

Could it be that there is hope for him again? The man widened his eyes, turned around expectantly, a smile on his lips again, and looked at the princess eagerly.

"What's your name... Next time, just say no."

These words were like a bolt from the blue. The man bit his lip tightly. As the saying goes, a man's knees are made of gold and a man doesn't shed tears easily.

How can I cry?

"Ahem...is this too cruel..."

Zhao Yihan's face turned red from holding it in, and he could hardly stop eating, so he just pretended to cough.

Teenagers are at the age when things can no longer be hidden.

Zhao Changlin obviously didn't think it was a big deal. She saw many people like this every day. They just came for the power in her hands.

People, only when they hold power in their own hands can they have an absolute sense of oppression and an absolute sense of security.

Watching the man's hurried footsteps passing by him, Xia Zhiyuan silently cheered himself up in his heart.

The path you choose must be completed even if you cry.

Besides...what's the point of seizing the male lead? At least in the original novel, Zhao Changlin is not a playboy, but is wholeheartedly trying to regain his kingdom and keep it.

Xia Zhiyuan's thoughts were in a mess. As he was thinking, he suddenly saw a maid standing beside him, holding a vermilion wooden table in her hands.

A light and elegant fragrance penetrated into my nostrils.

The maid bent down and placed a white celadon bowl in front of Xia Zhiyuan.
