Xinrui placed the Hundred Flowers Tea in front of the two of them, then slowly withdrew with a sweet smile.

The Crown Princess frowned, but ultimately said nothing. Since it concerned the Crown Prince's grand examination, their discussions could not be known to more people to avoid leaks.

As for Zu'an, he is, after all, an official of the Eastern Palace, and not entirely an outsider. Staying for a short while shouldn't be a problem.

Of course, the most important thing is that this time it was Consort Bai who invited her. Although Consort Bai usually fights with her, in the end she is also the Crown Prince's consort and has given birth to the Crown Prince's eldest son. The Crown Prince's future is her future. Now that it is a critical moment, she has no reason to do anything strange.

She took a sip of the Hundred Flowers Tea, and a refreshing aroma lingered in her mouth. As she swallowed, it gradually spread throughout her body, and her anxious mood gradually calmed down.

Zuan was also drinking tea, while secretly observing her.

With bright eyes, fair skin, and luscious cherry lips, a faint trace of melancholy lingered between her brows, adding a touch of tenderness to her usually dignified demeanor.

What's even more remarkable is that even in this environment, she remained upright, exuding an air of elegance.

It must be said that the Crown Princess is indeed a beauty that is one in a million.

At this moment, he finally understood what it meant to be a feast for the eyes, especially when combined with the aroma of the Hundred Flowers Tea, it was as if he were smelling the other person's natural fragrance.

A blush gradually rose on the Crown Princess's cheeks. She felt the other person's gaze and thought to herself, "How can this guy be so ill-mannered?"

Anger from Bi Linglong: +22 +22 +22...

However, bringing it up in this situation would obviously make everyone feel awkward and make it even harder to get along in the future.

I was just wondering how to win him over, but now I know the answer.

She's been beautiful since childhood, and she's long since learned to make full use of her beauty; it's just that she hasn't met anyone who requires her to use her beauty before.

Of course, she didn't intend to use her beauty to seduce Zu An. As the Crown Princess, she wouldn't stoop so low as to debase herself. However, she could always use her beauty to speak softly to him and win him over.

Thinking of this, she parted her lips slightly and asked, "Lord Zu, how did you come to know Miss Chu?"

Zuan was taken aback, not expecting her to ask him these questions: "It's a bit of a coincidence. One day I was bathing in a pond in the wild when a woman suddenly fell from the sky and landed right in my arms."

"Huh?" The Crown Princess, who had originally intended to chat casually to show their relationship, suddenly became interested upon hearing this. "Is that Chu Chuyan? How did she end up falling from the sky?"

Seeing her eyes light up with curiosity, Zu An thought to himself, "You believed me when I just made up a story about a sudden turn of events?" So he got interested and casually made up a story: "Oh, there was a cliff nearby, and she jumped off it."

My dear Chuyan, I'm afraid you'll have to be my tool.

"Huh? She's going to commit suicide?" The Crown Princess covered her mouth, unable to understand why Chu Chuyan would do such a thing. She had long heard of Chu Chuyan's reputation. Miss Chu was an absolute beauty. She had only stayed in the capital for a short time, yet she had already captivated countless noble young men in the capital.

The key point is that she is also a cultivation genius, and there are almost no people of her generation who can compare to her.

Why would a woman who was showered with love and affection commit suicide?

"Oh, it seems that she learned that her family was going to arrange a marriage between her and someone, and in despair, she had suicidal thoughts," Zuan replied casually.

The Crown Princess was somewhat shocked, wondering who the Chu family had originally intended to marry, but she dismissed all the possibilities one by one.

After a while, she suddenly felt a little sad because she empathized with Chu Chuyan's experience. She knew that she had also been forced into an arranged marriage by her family and could only marry a fool.

However, she wasn't as carefree as Chu Chuyan, who could choose to end her life.

"And then?" she asked, her mood becoming somewhat downcast.

"I happened to save her later..." Zuan casually brought up the plot of "Titanic" and told it to her with some appropriate modifications.

The Crown Princess had only asked casually, but little did she know that there was such a convoluted and bizarre story behind it. Her beautiful eyes sparkled as she listened: "No wonder she went against all the opinions and chose you as her husband. Everyone else thought you were a beautiful flower... cough cough, but now I understand her choice."

Isn't this the kind of love story she often fantasized about during her teenage years? Unfortunately, those girlish feelings have long been sealed deep in her heart and have never been awakened again. Now, hearing the other person's story, she feels as if she has returned to her youthful days when she could still dream.

Seeing her distraught appearance, Zu'an was completely dumbfounded. You're supposed to be a Crown Princess, shouldn't you be well-informed? How can a movie like "Titanic" move you to this extent?

Speaking of which, it seems that Chu Yan also liked watching stories like "The Domineering Sword Immortal Falls in Love with Me" back then?

He suddenly felt that he could become a great writer in this world. He could just copy those poignant love stories from his previous life and attract a large number of female fans.

Hmm, maybe you could visit a brothel without spending any money, like Liu Yong did... cough cough, that's not the point!

He looked at the beautiful and elegant woman on the other side: "Princess Consort, how did you and the Crown Prince meet?"

Normally, the Crown Princess would never have answered such a question. Whether she was moved by his story or something else, she was somewhat unsettled and hesitated for a moment before replying, "Our acquaintance isn't as dramatic as yours. It's just a simple family alliance. The Emperor coveted the Bi family's power and wanted to win them over to prevent us from completely siding with Prince Qi. My father also wanted to hedge his bets and ensure the Bi family's invincibility, so he agreed to the marriage..."
