I lowered my head, trying to reduce my presence, but in my heart I was complaining crazily: This old emperor really knows how to entertain himself!

"Your Majesty," I said, trying to sound respectful and obedient, "There's nothing strange about this girl. I just like to do some weird things on weekdays. I'm sorry to make you laugh."

"Oh? Strange things?" Li Heng became interested. "Tell me about it. I can learn more."

I thought to myself: Oh no! This old fox is trying to trick me!

My eyes rolled, and a plan came to my mind. I quickly said, "Your Majesty, women like to study rouge and powder on weekdays. Recently, I have developed a new kind of scented powder called 'Qingcheng Fragrance'. It has a unique fragrance and can beautify and nourish the skin!"

As I spoke, I took out an exquisite porcelain vase from my sleeve and handed it to Li Heng.

Li Heng took the porcelain bottle, uncorked it, and sniffed it gently. A strong fragrance filled his nose. He was slightly stunned, and then showed an admiring look: "Well, not bad, this fragrance is indeed unique."

I was secretly proud of myself. This 'Qingcheng Xiang' is not an ordinary perfume powder, but a perfume I brought from the modern times. After being modified, it is more suitable for the tastes of ancient people.

"If His Majesty likes it, I will present this bottle of 'Qingchengxiang' to His Majesty." I took the opportunity to say.

"Okay, okay." Li Heng nodded with a smile and handed the porcelain bottle to the chief eunuch beside him, "Reward!"

I quickly knelt down to thank him: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your gift!"

Li Heng's gaze stayed on me for a moment, and he said meaningfully, "Sister Lin Xiao is indeed clever and thoughtful. No wonder even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince praises you so much."

My heart skipped a beat. This old fox was really testing me!

I quickly lowered my head and pretended to be terrified: "Your Majesty, you are joking. Your Highness is a noble prince. I just helped your Highness out of a predicament by chance. I don't deserve such praise from your Highness."

"Oh? Rescue?" Li Hengrao asked with interest, "Tell me about it."

I was complaining in my heart, this old fox, why is he so interested in my prince's affairs? !

While I was frantically organizing words in my mind, I secretly observed Li Heng's expression. I saw that he had a smile on his face, but his eyes were unfathomable, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

"Your Majesty," I calmed down and decided to tell the truth. After all, truth cannot be hidden, so it's better to be open and honest than to try to hide it. "A few days ago, I ran into the Crown Prince on the street. At that time, the Crown Prince was being harassed by a group of hooligans. I saw the injustice and helped them..."

"Oh? By you?" Li Heng didn't seem to believe me. "Those hooligans are desperate criminals. How can a weak woman like you defeat them?"

I sneered in my heart, old fox, are you looking at me?

I raised my head, met Li Heng's gaze, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Your Majesty, you don't know that this girl has been learning martial arts since she was a child. Although she is not very skilled in martial arts, she is more than enough to deal with a few hooligans."

"Oh?" Li Heng raised his eyebrows, seeming to be very interested in what I said, "Then I would like to see Sister Lin Xiao's 'martial arts'."

My alarm bells immediately went off. Could it be that this old fox wanted me to perform for him? !

I was just thinking about how to respond when Li Heng suddenly changed the subject, pointed to a big tree not far away, and said, "Use that tree as your target. I want to see what Sister Lin Xiao can do."
