Being a princess in a world with more men than women

Chapter 269 Xu Yuexi and Bai Ze's Closeness

After Bai Ze finished speaking, he ordered: "Yu Fei, drag him out, don't dirty the eyes of the Crown Princess. Oh, send someone to send his head back to the country, this is a great gift from me to my good father, you must make sure he sees it with his own eyes, understand?"

His voice was deep and powerful, as if it contained endless strength and determination. After saying this, Bai Ze raised his head slightly, looking into the distance with a determined gaze. He was ready for revenge. His good father, please hold on!

"Yes, Your Highness, I will do it immediately."

Yu Fei made a quick decision and dragged Cui Wuyan's heavy body out the door.

As he left, a group of well-trained servants quickly rushed forward. With skillful and neat movements, they began to carefully clean up the shocking bloodstains on the ground. Every drop of blood was wiped clean, as if nothing bloody had ever happened here.

When everything was ready, Bai Ze slowly released his hand that had been covering Xu Yuexi's eyes. His eyes were full of tenderness and concern, and he asked softly, "Princess, are you okay? Are you scared?"

Xu Yuexi shook her head slightly. Her eyes were a little dazed, as if she had not yet recovered from the shock.

Good man, this Bai Ze, when did he become so murderous and decisive? His actions today were really beyond her expectations. Was he preparing to declare war on his father?

If he had done this earlier, he probably wouldn't have lived such a miserable life and suffered so much!

Good, I didn’t let her down, I deserve a reward!

So Xu Yuexi naturally gave Bai Ze a kiss on his handsome face.

"Brother Ze's performance today really pleased me, so this is a reward for you!"

"Princess……"

Bai Ze didn't expect Xu Yuexi to do this. For a moment, his heart was beating wildly and his face turned red unconsciously.

His throat was churning and his heart was in turmoil.

He had never thought that he would receive such intimacy from the princess, which made him both surprised and overwhelmed.

He couldn't help but wonder if the princess also liked him? With this thought, his heart became more and more restless. He hoped that this was not just a reward, but also a response to the princess's love for him.

However, he did not dare to ask the princess about her feelings, fearing that he might have misunderstood her. At this moment, Bai Ze's heart was filled with sweetness and expectation, but also with a hint of uneasiness and hesitation.

Just as Bai Ze was daydreaming, a 'gurgling' sound was heard in his arms.

"Princess, are you hungry? I happen to have some cakes they brought from Qingcheng Country, the Qingcheng Thirteen Pastries."

Bai Ze released his other hand that was around Xu Yuexi and took out a small oil-paper bag from his arms.

When Bai Ze opened the oil paper package, a burst of fragrance filled the air, and Xu Yuexi felt her stomach growling even louder.

Wrapped in the oil paper is a shortbread the size of a wife cake. Looking closely, the outer layer of the shortbread is golden yellow, sprinkled with tiny sesame seeds, looking like twinkling stars in the night sky. In the middle is a layer of light pink pastry, as beautiful as a blooming peach blossom. The innermost layer is a dark purple filling, exuding a mysterious and tempting aroma.

Bai Ze carefully handed the biscuit to Xu Yuexi's mouth.

"Princess, would you like to try it?"

Xu Yuexi was just about to take a bite when she suddenly remembered that there were so many people in the hall. She looked up and around. Bai Ze understood what she meant and ordered everyone in the hall to leave.

For a moment, only Bai Ze, Xu Yuexi, Ji Wuxie and Tang Liuqing were left in the room.

With no outsiders present, Xu Yuexi felt completely relieved.

Bai Ze brought the shortbread to her, and she took a bite without hesitation. Then, her eyes lit up. This shortbread was delicious! In a short while, she finished a piece of shortbread.

At this moment, Tang Liuqing handed over a glass of water at the right time, while Ji Wuxie sat on another stool far away, looking at this side with a complicated look, as if thinking about something.

"Bai Ze, this cake is delicious. Do you have any more?"

After eating just one piece, Xu Yuexi felt a little unsatisfied and wanted to eat more!

"I only have one piece with me, and the princess likes to eat it, so please wait a moment."

After Bai Ze finished speaking, he waved to the Qingcheng Kingdom servants waiting outside the door, signaling them to bring up the Qingcheng Thirteen Pastries. Not long after, a servant came in with a plate filled with colorful pastries.

Seeing this, Xu Yuexi stood up from Bai Ze's legs, walked lightly to the table and sat down.

Her eyes were attracted by the colorful shortbread on the table, and the tempting aroma filled her nose. She couldn't help but take a deep breath, letting the aroma fill her nostrils, and then began to enjoy the delicacy.

After eating five pieces in a row, Xu Yuexi stopped. After Tang Liuqing helped her rinse her mouth and wash her hands, Xu Yuexi spoke:

"Liaochen, take action!"
