One day, Chen Jingxi sat alone at her desk, snow drifting outside the window. A faint cloud of worry crossed her brows. She gripped her brush tightly in her hand, hesitantly tapping it lightly on the rice paper, making a subtle sound.
The mission she had agreed to perform for the Emperor had not yet been fulfilled, and the Emperor had hinted that he was urging her to hurry up, so it would be useless for her to delay any longer.
Chen Jingxi sighed softly, put down her pen, and put her hand on her forehead. What should she write? She couldn't let the emperor think she was perfunctory, but she also had to make him feel that she had really tried her best.
It was really a difficult problem. After thinking for a while, a sly smile crept up the corner of his mouth, and he seemed to have a plan in mind.
When night fell, Chen Jingxi quietly sent Han Yu to secretly deliver the letter to the palace.
The emperor was delighted when he saw Chen Jingxi's letter, but after opening it, his expression suddenly changed, becoming overcast and darker than the bottom of a pot.
Jiang Hai, standing by, saw the emperor's strange expression and felt a pang of anxiety. He quickly stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, is there anything wrong with the letter?"
The emperor frowned, threw the letter impatiently into the sea, and said coldly: "Look for yourself!"
Jiang Hai hurriedly took it, unfolded the letter and read it. He was stunned for a moment and was secretly shocked in his heart: This Princess Su is really amazing!
The letter recorded everything from the time Chu Jinghuai got up in the morning to changed his clothes to the time he turned off the lights and went to bed at night. His three meals a day, the type of dishes he ate, how much he tasted of each dish, and even the number of times he went to the toilet and the time of his visits were all recorded one by one. It was extremely detailed, almost harsh. Even Chu Jinghuai's breathing frequency seemed to have not escaped her "surveillance".
You say she is not dedicated, she pays attention to every detail. You say she is dedicated, but what she writes is all nonsense.
In Prince Su’s Mansion.
Chen Jingxi: "Hehehe, hahaha, goose goose..."
She could imagine how the emperor felt after opening the letter.
Everyone in the room: Is the princess possessed by evil spirits?
Later she wrote several more letters in the same way. After receiving several similar letters in succession, the emperor finally realized that he had been fooled.
He asked Meng Yao to get back the golden medal of immunity from death.
Meng Yao waited outside the Prince Su's Mansion for a few days and finally saw Chen Jingxi leaving the mansion. After he disguised himself as a lame old man and tried to scam Chen Jingxi's carriage, he finally met Chen Jingxi as he wished.
After he stated his purpose.
Chen Jingxi: "Ah?"
Meng Yao took a deep breath and tried to make his tone sound calm and persuasive. "Princess Su, the Emperor has said that the golden medal of immunity from death in your hand may no longer be of any use. I hope you will understand his intention and return it."
Chen Jingxi: "Ah?"
Seeing Chen Jingxi's continued reaction, he tried to persuade her, "Princess Su, if you are unwilling to return the golden medal of immunity from death, then please at least report to the Emperor which ministers Prince Su has been interacting with recently, and what they discussed."
Chen Jingxi: "Ah?"
Meng Yao really lived in Bengbu, and the Princess Su was hard of hearing.
Meng Yao gestured again, and said word by word: "The Emperor will give you the immunity from death gold medal!"
Chen Jingxi cried out several times in succession: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?"
Meng Yao collapsed.
Chen Jingxi blinked her eyes with an innocent look on her face.
Han Yu, who was standing aside, tried hard to suppress the corners of his mouth. After all, the princess responded to every word she said.
Chen Jingxi sighed, took out a silver ingot, and stuffed it into Meng Yao's hand, "Use it to buy something delicious."
Meng Yao looked at the silver in his hand, then at Chen Jingxi's departing back. Who does she think of me?
As soon as he came out of the dark alley, Chen Jingxi heard continuous roars from inside.
She shook her head. It’s not easy!

Chen Jingxi took a sip of tea and said to the person opposite without looking up, "Tell me, what's the matter with you looking for me this time? Don't tell me you haven't called me 'Dad' enough?"
Jiang Xiwan almost lost her composure, but pinched her thigh to hold it back. "Princess Su, I know you hate me. I've indeed caused you a lot of trouble in the past, and I've always been against you..."
Chen Jingxi raised her eyes and interrupted her, "I admire you very much. You actually have self-awareness."
“???”
Jiang Xiwan's expression changed slightly, but she continued, "Now I've figured it out. The reason I treated you that way was actually because I envied you. Although I was born in the Zhenguo Mansion, my parents' attention has always been on my brothers and sisters. They never really noticed me, and any good things always went to them."
"For this reason, I have been working hard to get my parents to notice me."
Chen Jingxi raised her eyebrows slightly, "Does this have anything to do with me?"
"Yes, it's you who embarrassed me and the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion time and time again."
"Didn't you ask for it?"
Jiang Xiwan clenched her fists and admitted, "I asked for it."
"Then what?"
"I really can't accept this. Why do you get all the favoritism? Prince Su treats you so well, and I'm clearly the most talented woman in the capital, yet he insists on saying you're the best. The Emperor doesn't object, and those great scholars, are they all blind? I'm clearly proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, yet I'm outdone by you."
"Why do all the bad things happen to me?"
Chen Jingxi put down the teacup and glanced at her.
She bit her lips lightly, her eyes were red, as if tears would burst out at any second.
He perfectly portrayed a look of pain and regret.
If Chen Jingxi hadn't known in advance that she had met a masked man, she would probably have believed her words.
"What do you mean by telling me this?"
"I just want to apologize to you, and besides... I want to be friends with you if possible."
Jiang Xiwan laughed self-deprecatingly. "You may not believe this, but ever since I've embarrassed myself over and over again, I've been left with no friends. You're the first person I've asked out who's willing to come out and see me."
"It means I am kind."
"???" Jiang Xiwan was stunned for a moment, but finally nodded in acknowledgment, "Princess Su, thank you. For so many years, I have always wanted to gain the approval of my parents, and even everyone else. But after you beat me up last time, I understood why I have to live such a tiring life? Why can't I live as freely as you?"
"I won't go against you anymore. Thank you for sitting here and listening to me. I've never said these words to anyone before, and now that I've said them to you, I feel much better."
She stood up, took a deep breath, and adjusted her mood. "Princess Su, I'm glad you came to see me. I'll go back first. Goodbye."
After saying that, she turned around and left with a smile, trying her best to act like she had reformed, but the moment she left, she revealed a smug smile.
Chen Jingxi, who was sitting by the window, looked at a saddle on the street and shouted, "Whose vest fell off?"
