What is more disgraceful than embarrassing yourself in front of the person that you admire? 

This time, Feng Jiao Er really made a big spectacle of herself. Her true colours were also seen by the emperor old man. Ah, it felt good after venting her anger. 

When the emperor old man entered the room, Feng Xi Er made a move to get out of bed to salute. The emperor old man waved his hand and said: "Eldest Miss is not convenient to move, so you don't have to salute".

Feng Xi Er really did away with formalities, and leaned against the bedside. Only in this way could she send those jinxes away. 

Have a look at Seventh Prince's long face that looked like someone owed him a few million, and that Tenth Prince shaking his fan and grinning; he was definitely here to watch a show. The cheap old man {her father} was obediently standing still, resembling a traitor who betrayed the country and sold women during the times of the Republic of China. 

The emperor spoke: "Is Eldest Miss's injury not yet recovered?" 

Feng Xi Er lifted her eyes slightly, pouted her small lips, pretending to be weak: "Ai, initially it was nearly recovering, but yesterday because of a certain heartless… person, I had a fall. Not only did it pull at my old wound, I also hurt my bottom". Initially, Feng Xi Er wanted to say that heartless 'thing', but she thought that she was now in the ancient times, and not in the 21st century. She had better be careful when she was speaking.

After that emperor old man listened, he laughed heartedly and looked at Feng Xi Er, then looked at Seventh Prince. The expression from his eyes revealed an ambiguous attitude. 

Feng Xi Er felt so awkward, and reluctantly smiled in a silly manner.   

In the eyes of the emperor, however, he felt that she was shy. He looked at Seventh Prince and looked again at Feng Xi Er. He straightforwardly said: "Eldest Miss, what do you think of Seventh son?" 

Feng Xi Er smiled naively: "Seventh Prince is like a god, sacred and inviolable, Xi Er feels that she is not worthy of Seventh Prince". That irritating old man, asking some nauseating questions, Feng Xi Er did not beat around the bush and answered. 

"Eldest Miss did not say this yesterday. If I did not remember incorrectly, what Eldest Miss said yesterday was, Your Highness, I will love you for 10,000 years…" Tenth Prince shook his fan and said with a smile. 

Feng Xi Er pretended to be shy and lowered her head. In her heart, she cursed and cursed. Wasn't it that she just went to the Seventh Prince Resident and had a stroll? How did it spread so quickly that even the emperor knew about it. These ancient people's gossip talent was really high. And this Tenth prince, was really bored until he came to poke into her business.

All along, Seventh Prince just put on a black face without saying a word.

At this time, a eunuch came in and whispered to the emperor. Only then did the emperor get up and prepare to leave. Only this time, the emperor old man once again, dropped a bomb, "Seventh son, as I see it, you and the Eldest Miss are a perfect pair matched by the heavens. Feelings can be developed slowly, go and accompany Eldest Miss to go shopping". After leaving these words, he returned to the palace with the little eunuch.

Feng Xi Er really wanted to swing the pillow onto that dog emperor's bald head to scold him for being nosy. When you are under the eaves of someone, you have no choice but to cooperate. Too bad, that person was the emperor who is above all people. 

    Although Feng Xi er was filled with 100,000 of unwillingness, but when she saw the even more unwilling face of the Seventh Prince, she thought, since he was not happy, she would not let him get what he wished for.

    Therefore, Feng Xi er followed the Seventh Prince and Tenth Prince out of the residence.

At this time, it was in the evening, when the sun went down. Many young men and women came out to shop in the market and there were hawkers on both sides of the street. The calls and pleas by the vendors came in an endless stream. Feng Xi er did not expect that her first time to visit the market of the ancient times was with two people whom she did not like at all. Feng Xi Er pursed her lips. She was not annoyed, as they strolled minding their own businesses, and she took them as air. 

 Just like the costume dramas seen on TV, Feng Xi er was a little excited being personally on the scene. She touched things here and there, looked left and right, bumbling around like a little white rabbit. The Seventh Prince put his hands behind his back and walked expressionlessly. Looking at such a Feng Xi Er, he felt that something was wrong, but he also couldn't say exactly what was it. Before, he didn't have a deep impression of Feng Xi er. He had also only seen her several times, and every time, Feng Xi er was looking down and did not dare to look at him. Now, the look of her jumping around like this was really very different from before. Seventh Prince frowned, it can't be that Feng Xi Er acted like this to gain his attention?
