The tenth princess came without anyone following her, and Chao Sheng was doing embroidery. Suddenly, she felt something was wrong, turned her head to look, and the tenth princess was standing by the door, tilting her head to size her up.

  Chao Sheng was shocked - he never thought that while hiding behind the door and doing something, when he turned his head, he would see a princess.

  "I have seen the tenth princess and paid my respects to her."

  "Hmm." The tenth princess's face showed no emotion, and she glanced at the house where she lived with a faint gaze. She didn't enter, but stretched out her hand and said, "Take it out."

  "What did the princess say?"

  "What else?" The tenth princess glared: "That jade pendant!"

  The tide is rising, twinkling eyes.

  She would be overjoyed if she could get rid of it! But, it can't be so ambiguous.

  The tenth princess said with hatred: "What are you! My second brother and I wanted that, he didn't give it to me, but he actually gave it to you with a raise of his hand."

  Chao Sheng felt he was really wronged to death.

  That thing is a complete disaster, she didn't want to accept it in the first place and was too afraid to do so. Why did the Second Prince have to give it to her despite not considering her feelings at all? Who knew that the Tenth Princess still had a crush on him?

  Chao Sheng hurriedly flipped it over and took out the scalding hot yam, respectfully presenting it to Princess Shi.

  The ten public masters really took it away, and the tide was settled. Whatever the siblings did behind closed doors had nothing to do with themselves anymore.

  The tenth princess had already achieved her goal, but her expression looked even more wronged than before, her mouth pouting and her eyes slowly turning red.

  The tide was born with a bad cry, but before she could think of a countermeasure, the tenth princess had already cried out.

  Chao Sheng was suddenly stunned——

  This man rushed up to the door wanting something, and with his own two hands presented it, the tenth princess who had gotten what she wanted was... overjoyed to tears?

  Even an idiot can tell it's not.

  The tenth princess must have been wronged somewhere else!

  But no matter what, she can't just cry like this at the door!

  Chao Sheng hurriedly said: "Princess, princess don't cry first, let's talk slowly. Princess, is there anywhere that doesn't feel comfortable? I'll go invite the fourth prince?"

  "Don't go!" The tenth princess took out a handkerchief to cover her face, took two big steps forward and sat down on the edge of the bed with a thud, continuing to wail.

  Chao Sheng is now really glad that she and Chun Mo don't live in the same house, otherwise this matter...

  This matter can't be settled now either.

  Even if there's no one else in this house, the people next door aren't deaf, crying so loudly must have been heard by them.

  Looking at Princess Tenth's expression, she is going to have a good cry.

  There was nothing in the house that she wanted, so after thinking for a moment, she picked up the teapot on the table and poured a bowl of cold water into a tea cup - this water had been left out for half a day and had already cooled down.

  "Princess, have some water."

  The tenth princess sobbed: "I won't drink!"

  Chao Sheng brought out a small plate of dried fruit that he had just carried from the kitchen: "Princess, have some dried fruit?"

  The tenth princess retorted: "I won't eat!"

  Chao Sheng Qing cleared her throat: "I don't know who has wronged the princess? Why not speak out, and let the Second and Fourth Princes take charge and avenge you?"

  "Mind your own business!"

  Pfft, what's the point of crying in her room all day, it's not worth wasting energy on this.

  The master cried loudly, even if you didn't hit or scold him, you are still at fault!

  Someone poked their head out of the door, and the movement was so fast that Chao Sheng didn't even see who it was. The person zipped back in with a whoosh.

  The tenth princess was already overwhelmed, using a handkerchief to wipe her nose and tears at the same time. Chao Sheng handed over his new unused handkerchief, and this time the tenth princess didn't make a sound, she snatched it away in one swift motion.

  Although still crying, it's no longer as earth-shattering as it was at first.

  No matter what you do, it's all about momentum. The tide has turned several times, and the momentum of the tenth princess has already weakened twice and exhausted three times.

  He Chao Sheng handed her the water again, and the tenth princess sniffled, looked at her, and took over the tea bowl.

  Although it was Chao Sheng's own home, he had always been fond of cleanliness. There wasn't a single tea stain on the teacup, and it was spotless and white. The water may not have been very hot anymore, but at this moment, it tasted just right.

  "Why did my brother give you this?"

  The tenth princess's words are unreasonable. Her biological brother is indeed only the second prince, but other princes are also her brothers in reason and law. So she can only call him "second brother", not just "brother".

  Chao Sheng said in a soft voice, "I don't quite understand either. I received such a heavy reward for no reason, and my heart is uneasy. Now handing it over to the princess is the best, and it saves me from being nervous every day, afraid of breaking it or losing it."

  The tenth princess glanced at her: "You're quite understanding."

  Tidal birth belly laugh, what is called understanding?

  She's just a little palace maid, doesn't know how to survive on her own.

  Arbitrariness is only the privilege of the master - the grievances that Chao Sheng has suffered are probably many more, but can Chao Sheng have a chance to cry out in pain?

  But Chao Sheng looked at the tenth princess's red eyes and nose, as well as her tear-stained and disheveled hair, and didn't really get angry with her.

  After all, children without mothers are always difficult.

  The young mistress actually cried here, I don't know how long she had been holding back her grievances. In other places, she might have been enduring it all along and didn't dare to cry.

  Even princesses - or rather, imperial consorts, empresses - who among them has the right to cry and laugh as they please?

  Oh no, can't think about these things, thinking about it makes this life feel too desperate. Even as the empress, there's no human rights.

  Think about it, in the palace there is no empress dowager, so the queen is the greatest woman under heaven.

  But was the queen happy and joyful?

  The tenth princess snorted: "I won't take this away, or people will say I'm too petty, and even things that have already been given to the slaves are still being asked for. Second brother gave you something, that's his pleasure. You received it, now go get a basin of water, I want to wash my hands."

  She's fine as long as she doesn't cry.

  Chao Sheng felt a slight disappointment - she had thought that the tenth princess would be able to take away the jade pendant, but in the end, after crying, the thing was still left in her hand.

  Chao Sheng hurriedly went to fetch a basin of water, but the tenth princess was not very old and washing her face alone would not do; she still needed to apply cosmetics. Although Chao Sheng had these things here, how could he let the tenth princess use hers?

  "Alright, bring it out quickly." The tenth princess said: "I'm not some poor pedantic person, just get by for now."

  Chao Sheng could only take out his own box of powder.

  This powder wasn't made in the palace, nor was it bought from outside. It was made by Li Gu Gu and Chao Sheng together. They used high-quality rice flour, mixed with osmanthus flower stamens and other things, giving off a refreshing fragrance. The color of the powder is a faint light yellow, not that frightening white like lead powder.

  "Huh? What powder is this?"

  "It's Magnolia powder."

  The tenth princess dipped her hand in and pinched some: "It's actually quite smooth."

  The tenth princess was making up in front of the blurry mirror, and Chao Sheng took a comb to help her tidy up her hair. Her hairdressing skills had not been neglected, and she did it quickly and well. The tenth princess's mood improved, and she actually took off one of the bracelets on her wrist and handed it to her: "This is for you - today's matter, you are not allowed to tell anyone else!"

  He was taken aback.

  This...the pendant thing hasn't been resolved, and now there's a bangle?

  ————————————

  I think all the silly things I've done this year can't compare to what I've done in just one week.

  Because I knew the highland sun was fierce, so I prepared sunscreen. As a result, I applied it to my face, hands, arms and mouth, but missed my neck - oh no, roasted duck neck, hot out of the oven...

  Booked a hotel in Chengdu, just because it's close to the airport, but it's ridiculously far from the city center. Not only was I ripped off by the taxi driver on the way here, but after checking in, I heard that this entire area will be shutting off water supply tomorrow? Oh my god, what am I supposed to do without water? Do I have to change hotels again?

  In half an hour, it will be number one, and this book will be on the shelves.

  If everyone likes this book, just support it.

  I won't say much more, in short, I will work hard to update! Please everyone raise your little whips to supervise me.
