After massaging Xiao Chengji's shoulders for a quarter of an hour, Yan Yu felt really tired, with his hands and wrists a little sore.

He glanced at her hand and didn't let her get off the couch immediately. He pulled her back and rubbed her wrist: "You are so delicate. This king is so unlucky to marry a delicate princess like you."

Yan Yu subconsciously refuted him: "If you had gotten married earlier, wouldn't you have avoided this kind of bad luck?"

Xiao Chengji is several years older than Yan Yu. If he had listened to the emperor and got married early, he would definitely have children running around everywhere by now.

"And then?" Xiao Chengji sneered, "You and Wei both married the Fifth Prince, and you became the elder and she became the younger? Miss Wen, wake up. Wei is cunning and weird. If you fall into her hands, you will cry three times a day."

Yan Yu was so angry that he couldn't speak. His chest heaved and his eyes began to turn red.

Seeing that she was about to cry, Xiao Chengji fell silent.

He had never coaxed a woman, and didn't know what to do if a woman cried.

Xiao Chengji subconsciously wanted to leave, but he was worried that Yan Yu would really cry after he left.

Just at this moment, Huo Ha came over quietly from outside: "Your Highness, you have an appointment with Lord Liu to discuss something, it's time to go over now."

Xiao Chengji looked at this tactless guy and motioned him to go see the princess.

Huoha rolled his eyes and said, "Your Highness, I encountered a funny thing on the street yesterday, and I want to tell you about it."

Xiao Chengji nodded.

Huoha smiled and said, "Yesterday, I met a young lady selling tofu pudding on the street. This young lady was cold and didn't like to smile. She had no expression on her face all day. There was a scoundrel nearby who said that he could make this young lady laugh with one word and make this young lady angry with another word. Others didn't believe it and took fifty copper coins to bet with him. Guess what the scoundrel did?"

Yan Yu was a little curious for a moment and secretly pricked up his ears to listen to what he was saying.

Huo Ha saw that the princess' eyes were no longer red, but after telling this joke, he suddenly felt that it was not appropriate to tell it in this situation. He was afraid that the princess would think too much and make her angry again, and she would take his head directly, so he secretly glanced at Xiao Chengji.

Xiao Chengji had seen such jokes in books before. He nodded to Huo Ha and motioned for him to continue.

Huo Ha said: "The young lady raised a pug. The rogue knelt on the ground and bowed to the pug, calling it daddy. The young lady smiled instantly."

Huo Ha spoke and gestured, and actually pretended to bow to a vase ornament on the ground.

Then Huoha continued: "After the scoundrel stood up, he bowed to the young lady again and called her mother. The young lady instantly became furious and picked up a spoon to hit him."

This time, Yan Yu couldn't help laughing halfway through listening.

As soon as she laughed, Xiao Chengji glanced at her.

Yan Yu felt a little embarrassed and quickly put on a serious face.

Seeing that she didn't want to cry anymore, Xiao Chengji stood up and walked outside.

Huo Ha was sweating and followed Xiao Chengji anxiously.

Xiao Chengji said: "This is good. Prepare more jokes for her to hear next time."

The princess is a crybaby, and Xiao Chengji has no choice but to ask the people around her to be prepared to avoid the same situation from happening again next time.

After Xiao Chengji left, Yan Yu went to lie on the bed for a while.

There have been a lot of things going on in the mansion recently, and many of them need to be handled slowly. The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and she has to go to the palace again during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and deal with the Queen and the Queen Mother in the palace... With all these things weighing on her, she is feeling very uncomfortable.

Then she remembered what Xiao Chengji had just said about marrying her being unlucky for him. Yan Yu also felt aggrieved. Isn't it like this for every marriage?

Basically, it is a blind marriage, and one does not know what kind of person they are marrying until the wedding day.

Speaking of which, the Fifth Prince and Concubine Wei knew each other before their marriage, and they were in love when they got married. I guess they should be getting along well now, right?

Xiao Jiashan has been having a really bad time lately.

First of all, the son of Prince Kangping died, and the son of Marquis Dongxin no longer dared to follow him around and play with him.

Xiao Jiashan was a prince, the fifth prince of the current emperor. Could it be that he was in need of followers? As long as he shouted, a large group of servants would kneel before him.

But they are just slaves.

Young gentlemen who were worthy of talking to Xiao Jiashan avoided him in private. They either said polite words to him or simply didn't dare to approach him and say anything.

Xiao Jiashan was very depressed.

Another thing is that after tasting the wild game outside, the food at home always seems tasteless.

All the concubines in his house had passed the empress's scrutiny. Empress Zheng was afraid that a group of vixens would seduce him and make him lose his sense of propriety, so the concubines who stayed behind were basically very honest.

Once a person becomes honest, there is no fun in bed.

Xiao Jiashan could only go to Wei Ruxuan every day. After all, Wei Ruxuan knew a lot of tricks and knew how to please him.

Wei Ruxuan was so happy that her tail almost reached the sky.

Upon hearing that the young lady from General Weiyuan's mansion was engaged to her cousin, Wei Ruxuan became more and more certain that Xiao Jiashan went to the brothel in order to cancel the marriage. Xiao Jiashan was still as affectionate and loyal as in the books, and only thought about her.

Now Wei Ruxuan’s mind is full of thoughts about herself being promoted to the official wife as soon as possible.

She still holds a grudge against the Prince of Qin's wife for bullying her in Queen Zheng's palace last time.

Wei Ruxuan couldn't swallow this humiliation and always wanted to find time to get it back.

She also didn't understand. Apart from her pretty face, what other abilities did the Princess of Qin have to pull the King of Qin into her bed?

No matter what, Xiao Jiashan must not let her see the face of Princess Qin, otherwise what if Xiao Jiashan regrets it?

Wei Ruxuan was worried about gains and losses, and she kept asking Xiao Jiashan: "Fifth Master, do you regret marrying me instead of the Wen family girl?"

Xiao Jiashan found it funny: "What should I regret? Didn't you hear what the Queen Mother said about her, saying that she was vulgar and ugly? The Queen Mother often mentioned the Princess of Qin these days, and every time she said something bad about her."

Xiao Jiashan was quite filial and usually listened to the Queen. His relationship with the Queen was closer than that with the Empress Dowager.

The Queen said that the girl from the Wen family was not good, so Xiao Jiashan naturally thought that she was not good either.

To be honest, there are really not many good-looking sickly people. Xiao Jiashan sometimes feels gloating, thinking that Xiao Chengji, such a proud man, actually picked up things that he didn't want.

Wei Ruxuan was still not satisfied and forced Xiao Jiashan to swear.

Xiao Jiashan had no choice but to raise his hand and swear to the sky: "If I regret it, let me be struck by lightning in the future, okay? Xuan'er, don't worry, you are the only one I like, and I don't care about anyone else."
