When the palace servant stepped down, he looked at Shi Nianshuang and bulged his face. He didn't know what to do with her. A girl who was not married in the house actually asked him to give her a marriage.

Although he was still young, he knew that women were like this and was no longer ashamed.

He couldn't help but ask her, "Since you have asked me for an order, will Lord Xiao be in love with you? Have you said you want to marry you?"

If you are in love, why did you ask her, a girl's house, come to ask for an order? Don't you worry about your reputation being damaged?

Shi Nianshuang was stunned by his question, and her hands were tucked together, but for a moment, she thought of Xiao Chen's past gentle appearance to her, and couldn't help but blush and said confidently, "Yes, Xiao Chen is in love with me."

Luo Ran couldn't help but chuckle when she listened to her confident words.

Shi Nianshuang's face paused slightly, and she was stiff and did not dare to turn to see her.

Luo Ran talked to Shi Xujin, but her mind was not here. Yu Guang looked at the door slightly, and she also wanted to know what Xiao Chen planned to do.

The palace servant came in to pass the message and said that Xiao Chen had arrived. The two stopped talking and Luo Ran turned his eyes to him.

Seeing him crossing the door, he stopped when he raised his eyes. He was surprised and panicked in his eyes, obviously he didn't expect that she was there too.

She knew that he was planning to plot against Shi Nianshuang. How could a person like him let Shi Nianshuang go?

Luo Ran smiled faintly, glanced at Shi Nianshuang more, then looked at him again, reached out to support the jade hairpin on his bun, and saw Xiao Chen's face turn pale with his own eyes, then he raised the corner of his mouth and withdrew his gaze.

Xiao Chen's steps were stiff. He thought that according to Shi Nianshuang's nature, he would not reveal their relationship in front of her. He ignored everything, but only missed her.

Looking at her movements, his fingertips couldn't help but tremble slightly. He saw that the jade hairpin similar to her on Shi Nian's double bun was difficult to open.

Shi Xujin did not see the eye contact between the two. Seeing that Luo Ran had no intention of speaking, he spoke by himself, "Xiao Aiqing, I tell you that you have entered the palace today, do you know the reason?"

Shi Nianshuang stood aside and looked at him with a gaze.

But Xiao Chen looked confused and bowed to Shi Xujin and said, "I don't know what the emperor said."

Shi Xujin frowned and glanced at Shi Nianshuang with dissatisfaction.

Shi Nianshuang felt particularly aggrieved by his eyes, and looked at Xiao Chen with some confusion. Didn’t he understand her thoughts best in daily life? Seeing her standing here today, not to mention that she just said that to him today. What else can I do besides giving a marriage?

Why doesn't he understand?

For some reason, she suddenly remembered Luo Ran's chuckle before, and felt a little panicked in her heart, and she called him "Xiao Chen!"

Xiao Chen turned to look at her, and the confusion in his eyes was particularly clear, "Princess?"

Shi Nianshuang's heart became more and more panic, and she always felt that something was not as she had imagined.

Even Luo Ran raised her head and looked at the scene led by Xiao Chen in front of her, especially Shi Nianshuang, who was obviously uneasy but still comforting herself, couldn't help but want to laugh. She covered the corners of her mouth, leaving only a starry smile in her eyes.

Shi Xujin was a little dissatisfied with Shi Nianshuang. Didn’t she just say that Xiao Chen was in love with her? You know, he shouldn’t believe her.

"Xiao Aiqing, the eldest princess asked me for imperial edicts and gave me a marriage to you. What did you think?"

Xiao Chen looked a little surprised, as if he had never expected that he would say this. He lifted up his clothes and knelt on the ground, and refused simply, "Emperor! I don't want to!"

"Xiao Chen!" Shi Nianshuang didn't expect that he would answer like this. He screamed in disbelief. He said he was not worthy of her, so she asked the emperor to give him a marriage, but now, he said he didn't want to?

"Xiao Chen, what did you say? Did you say it wrong?"

There was tears in Shi Nian's eyes. He took two steps forward and knelt beside him. He wanted to pull Xiao Chen's sleeve, wondering if he was confused? Otherwise, why would he refuse?

Xiao Chen avoided her pull, pursed his lips, looked at him with obvious helplessness, and looked up at the emperor again, with some help in his eyes, as if he had no choice but to use Shi Nianshuang.

He didn't dare to see Luo Ran's expression. He knew that Luo Ran must be looking at him with an interest. She had always been smart and must have known that the scene was guided by him, but he still didn't dare to see her.

Shi Xujin's face turned red with anger. Because of Shi Nianshuang's actions, how could others think of the royal family? She simply lost all the royal face!

He scolded the palace servants beside him, "You won't pull the eldest princess away!"

Shi Xujin looked at Xiao Chen and felt a little dissatisfied. Even if his royal sister is not good, she is still a member of the royal family. When will it be the turn of others to dislike her?

"The eldest princess said before, what's going on with you?"

When Xiao Chen heard his words, he frowned and couldn't help but look up. He saw that she was also looking at him. Xiao Chen paused and turned to Shi Xujin in an instant.

"The emperor, there is no ritual between the empress and the princess, and there is no affair between men and women, and even more arguing about the relationship between love and love!"

Shi Nianshuang didn't expect that he would admit nothing. So why did she come to ask for an order today? She gave up all her dignity and reserve, and she would get his answer!

She bit her lips and looked at Xiao Chen with tears in her eyes. Seeing the cold expression on his face, she immediately collapsed. She raised her hand and slapped him hard, "sp--" and was so crisp.

The palace servants were surprised by her actions. Lord Xiao is now considered a court official, so how could he slap people like this?

Shi Xujin stood up in shock, looked at the situation in front of him, and unconsciously leaned towards Luo Ran. Luo Ran also stood up and put one hand on his shoulder.

She looked at the red silk on the corner of Xiao Chen's mouth, and her eyes could not help but flashed in surprise. She didn't know how much effort he had spent during this period to force Shi Nianshuang to such an extent.

Xiao Chen turned his head slightly because of her strength, and his eyes were gloomy. He gently wiped the corner of his mouth with his fingertips, twisted the red smear, turned to look at Shi Nianshuang, trying to pull the corner of his mouth, but failed.

The tears on her face had not dried yet. Seeing Xiao Chen's eyes with hatred and affection, she paused word by word, as if she gritted her teeth, "Xiao Chen, do you think there is nothing between us?"

Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, held his hand tightly, suppressed the emotions in his heart, and took two steps back. The afterglow swept to her standing on the steps, but she just looked at the scene in front of her with a calm expression, as if there were irrelevant people in front of him. He tightened his hands to make himself come back to his senses.

"The eldest princess was joking. What can Weishou have to do with you?"

Shi Nianshuang's expression was a little broken. She wanted to make a name for herself, but because of his gentle treatment in the past. Now he wanted to send her away without any politeness. How could she obey him?

She reached out and pulled out the jade hairpin from her bun. She held it and placed it in front of him. She couldn't help but swallow even more. "You said we have nothing, so can you recognize this jade hairpin?"

He closed his eyebrows and looked cold and said, "I don't know him."

"Don't know? This is what you gave to me today! How dare you say you don't know? How dare you not admit it?"

She couldn't accept his words and screamed at him crying. How could he deny everything?

She couldn't help but step forward and beat him, but he pushed him away.

He frowned and said coldly, "Princess is careful!"

He refused to admit it, and Yu Guang looked in a certain direction uncontrollably, wondering if there were other thoughts in his heart, such as unwilling to let someone misunderstand it.

Shi Nianshuang was scolded by him and finally came to her senses. She staggered back two steps, fell on the palace servant who was supporting her, staring at him in a daze, and then suddenly covered her face and cried loudly. What else did she not understand now?

What kind of person is worthy of her? It's just a refusal that he doesn't want to marry her and said!

If he had her in his heart, how could he not want to marry her?

He doesn't have her in his heart!

Since that's the case, why did he treat her like that! He followed her in everything, doing those actions that made people blush.

He has been lying to her!

"Xiao Chen! You bastard! You lied to me!"

Her eyes were red and she couldn't accept the truth. She was a royal princess. He was just an unpopular son. If it weren't for his every step of the way, how could she fall so quickly?

She saw the coldness in his eyes and the sarcasm.

She suddenly remembered why she fell in love with him.

Because he saved her.

But... why did she fall into the water? Someone wanted her to fall into the water, but he was the only one at that time!

Why didn't she expect that he was the only one at that time!

He had planned everything and waited for himself to get into a trap. He was taking revenge on her!

He is so cruel, she hates him so much!

She cried in despair, Shi Xujin pouted, not knowing what to do with this situation, so she looked at Luo Ran for help. Luo Ran glanced at him and patted him gently with her jade hand, indicating that he didn't have to worry.

She glanced at Shi Nianshuang with no emotion in her eyes, then looked at Xiao Chen squintly and said casually, "Mr. Xiao, no matter whether you have an affair with the eldest princess, I, the royal princess, please order to marry you. What else are you not satisfied with?"

Xiao Chen pinched his fingers and didn't know how to answer. If it were the little emperor, he would be at ease, but when facing her, he was always a little nervous. He looked at her cold look and suddenly spoke insanely.

"Because I already have a sweetheart!"

Xiao Chen obviously saw her eyes moving slightly. He pursed his lips, and the fingers in his sleeves couldn't help but tighten. He was thinking, if she asked, who was his sweetheart? How would he answer?

But she seemed to be aware of it, glanced at him lightly, and smiled and made his heart tremble slightly. Then she turned her head and stopped looking at him, as if she was not interested in his words.

She smiled at the little emperor and said, "Emperor, since Lord Xiao has a lover, why should we break up? What's more, the princess of our royal family does not need to compromise herself so much and marry a man who has someone else in his heart."

He lowered his head and let go of the hand in his sleeve. He didn't understand what she meant.

In fact, if she said a few more words to him, it would be fine if it was irrelevant.

Shi Xujin thought about it, felt that Luo Ran was right and nodded.

Xiao Chen had a wound on the corner of his mouth, and there was a little pain as he spoke. He frowned, pressed it with his fingertips, and then put down his hand as if nothing had happened.

Shi Nianshuang was hearing his words, and suddenly seemed to be awake, and stood up. She wiped away her tears with one hand and stared at Xiao Chen tightly.

"You said you have a sweetheart?"

Xiao Chen looked at her expression and couldn't help but frown and glanced at the steps.

Shi Nianshuang looked at his eyes and looked at him, but saw Luo Ran. The tears in her eyes seemed to be blowing. How could it be her? Shouldn't he hate her?

When Luo Ran saw her looking over, he put one hand on Shi Xujin, and moved intimately, raised his eyebrows slightly, and smiled at her.

Now that she has lost her reputation, the person she loves has another lover, and her younger brother is even more disappointed with herself. Tsk, what should she do if she is so entangled?

Luo Ran thought about the outcome of "Luo Ran" in the original text, and couldn't help but smile deepened.
