Crossing the World: This Prince is a Little Sweet

"I'm sorry, brother. It's my sister's fault. I won't do it again next time."

"Do you want to let it go just because you're sorry? Xi'er...how did she hit you just now? Go and hit her back now, or you can let Qingfeng do it for you."

Yan Jingshuo walked to Chu Xi's side and stretched out his hand to carefully check the wound on Chu Xi's face, but Chu Xi turned his head away.

Seeing Chu Xi's refusal, Yan Jingshuo could only give up in embarrassment.

"Royal brother... I am your sister. Why did you let this witch beat me?"

Yan Changle was extremely angry. Just because she had just slapped Chu Xi, her Seventh Brother let this bitch hit her back without caring about her dignity. She was dissatisfied with her Seventh Brother's favoritism.

"Shut up, don't you want your tongue anymore?"

Yan Jingshuo felt inexplicably irritated and turned around to scold Yan Changle.

"Forget it, Your Majesty. I want to leave and don't want to stay here anymore."

Chu Xi pulled his sleeve and looked up at Yan Jingshuo with a bit of pleading in his eyes.

She didn't want to make a big deal out of it, after all, it was so obvious.

It might not just be the princess that is offended, but the entire royal family behind her.

Her father was still an official in the court, and Chu Xi didn't want to cause him any trouble.

"Xi'er, you are too soft-hearted. She bullied you like this, why didn't you fight back?"

Yan Jingshuo's heart ached slightly. He suddenly guessed the reason why Chu Xi didn't want to enter the palace. It was because she didn't trust his ability to protect her.

"Your Majesty, let's go."

Chu Xi didn't say anything, but just lowered her head with grievance, like a flower ravaged by wind and rain.

In Yan Jingshuo's eyes, her appearance looked even more pitiful.

"Xi'er, wait for me for a moment."

After Yan Jingshuo coaxed Chu Xi, he turned to look at Yan Changle with a cold face.

"Someone, send the Ninth Princess back. The Ninth Princess is unruly and willful, bullying others by taking advantage of her power, and is unworthy of her status as a princess... She is punished to be grounded for a month and is not allowed to step out of the door even once."

"Brother, no...you can't do this to me. I'm your sister, your relative. How can you punish me like this for an outsider?"

Yan Changle collapsed on the ground, unable to believe that her seventh brother would punish her for an outsider.

If this matter gets out, where will she keep her face?

"outsider?"

Yan Jingshuo snorted coldly.

"She is your sister-in-law and my future wife, Yan Jingshuo. Not only do you disrespect her as a younger sister, but you also want to bully her. I don't have a sister like you.

Come...watch her for me. If she dares to step out of the room, she will be fined for another month."

"Your Majesty, please go ahead, Princess."

Two guards came out and saluted respectfully towards Yan Changle.

"Drag her away..."

Yan Jingshuo lost his patience when he saw Yan Changle refused to move.

"The princess is offended"

Two guards each held one of Yan Changle's arms and dragged him out.

"No, my royal brother... I know I was wrong... Please don't confine me. I really won't dare to do that again."

Yan Changle fell to the ground and tried to pull Yan Jingshuo's clothes. Yan Jingshuo took two steps back to avoid her touch, then turned his back and stopped looking at her.

"Mammy Li"

"The old slave is here"

"Remember to keep these servants' mouths shut. You should know clearly what to say and what not to say."

Yan Jingshuo had a blank expression on his face, and the look he gave Nanny Li was like a cold pond, giving people a bone-chilling feeling.

"Yes, the old slave understands."

Nanny Li quickly bowed her head and agreed, not daring to offend this god of death.

Only then did Yan Jingshuo contentedly take Chu Xi's hand and quickly walk towards the palace gate.

Yan Huo, who was standing at the palace gate, was shocked when he saw Chu Xi's red and swollen face and his master's gloomy face.

What happened?

Could it be that the two of them had an argument and the master slapped the princess?

Yanhuo thought it was impossible. Seeing how gentle and caring the master usually was in taking care of the princess, he probably wouldn't do anything.

The prince would only hit the princess if he didn't want to live anymore.

That is, something happened in the Queen's bedroom.

"Princess, are you okay?"

Fireworks asked worriedly.

"I'm fine"

Chu Xi shook his head, then glanced at Yan Huo, signaling him not to worry.

Yan Jingshuo pulled Chu Xi into the carriage, pulled her into his arms, and asked Chu Xi with a very distressed tone.

"Why didn't you fight back just now?"

"Who said not to fight back? I just changed the way I do it..."

Chu Xi turned his face away angrily and refused to look at him.

"You poisoned her?"

"No? Or do you feel bad because she is your sister?"

"That's not the case, it's just that it's too dangerous. What if someone finds out? I don't want you to be in danger."

Chu Xi stood up and left Yan Jingshuo's arms and sat beside the carriage.

He raised his hand and took out a bottle of ointment and a small mirror from the space in the Fire Cloud Bracelet, and began to apply ointment on his face in front of the mirror.

"Xi'er, let me help you apply it..."

Yan Jingshuo took the ointment from her hand and gently applied it to her face, his eyes gradually becoming guilty.

The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. If he hadn't gotten there in time, his Xier would have been bullied even more miserably.

"Xi'er, why did the Queen call you into the palace?"

Chu Xi looked up at him with a complicated look in his eyes.

"The Queen said she would arrange for a nanny to teach me etiquette."

"Etiquette? Why learn these? She called you into the palace just for this?"

Yan Jingshuo's breath turned colder, and he was obviously angry.

"Um"

Chu Xi nodded. She didn't want to talk about getting married.

"And when you were leaving the palace, you happened to run into Yan Changle?

"Yes"

"Why didn't you dodge when Yan Changle hit you just now?"

"She hit me so fast that I didn't react."

Chu Xi answered honestly. She really didn't expect Yan Changle to suddenly hit someone and had such a fierce personality.

But Chu Xi didn't want to be beaten in vain. After Yan Changle beat her, she showed no mercy and chose to poison him directly.

Yan Changle's right hand will have to be amputated after a while.

Together with the previous account with Xiang Manlou, all the new and old grudges are returned to Yan Changle today. Let's see how long she can remain complacent.

As the saying goes: I will not offend others unless they offend me. But if someone offends me, no matter how powerful he is, I will punish him.

"Does it still hurt now?"

Yan Jingshuo sat close to her and knew that she was in a bad mood, so even his voice was three degrees softer than usual.

"It doesn't hurt anymore, Your Majesty, I have something to tell you..."

Chu Xi sat up straight, looked at Yan Jingshuo.

"Xi'er, you said..."

"Your Highness, I just feel that... our wedding can be put off for a while. Because I'm not ready to get married yet, can you give me some more time to adjust my emotions?"

After hearing what Chu Xi said, Yan Jingshuo felt as if he was frozen in place, his blood solidified and he couldn't move.

He couldn't believe that these words came out of Chu Xi's mouth.

Yingyi and Yanhuo, who were driving the carriage, were also shocked. Was the princess rejecting the prince?

"Xi'er... why is this?"

Yan Jingshuo's voice became trembling, and his eyes were full of confusion and bewilderment as he looked at Chu Xi.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am just a very timid person. I don't like group fighting and living in the calculations of others every day."

Yan Jingshuo held Chu Xi's smiling face with both hands and spoke very seriously.

"Xi'er, you have to believe me. I will definitely protect you and will never let you suffer these grievances again."

"Your Majesty, I believe you, but... I can't get over myself after all."

Chu Xi raised her eyes and looked at Yan Jingshuo with twinkling eyes. She didn't want to be soft-hearted this time.

"Xi'er, I don't want...don't treat me like this."

Yan Jingshuo's eyes suddenly turned red, he couldn't accept this fact.

"Don't be like this, my lord. I just asked you to slow down, not to say I don't want you."

"Xi'er, did you choose to back out because of what happened just now?"

Yan Jingshuo hugged Chu Xi tightly in his arms, and his heart was really uncomfortable.

"No, my lord. It's my own fault. Don't think too much about it."

After a moment of silence.

Yan Jingshuo said in a trembling voice: "Xi'er, I can wait for you, but can you please not make me wait too long, okay?"

Seeing Chu Xi's sad and aggrieved expression, Yan Jingshuo finally softened his heart and chose to compromise. He didn't want to push Chu Xi too hard, fearing that she would feel repulsed.

"Okay, thank you, Your Majesty."

"Xi'er... do you know? Only by holding you like this can I feel at ease..."

Yan Jingshuo habitually buried his head in her shoulder and sniffed the familiar fragrance on her body, and only then did his heart feel at ease.

He rubbed Chu Xi's neck, then continued in a soft voice:

"I know I'm being too hasty. But...Xi'er...I really love you so much.

I always feel insecure when you are not around. I just think that after we get married, you will truly belong to me.

I just didn't realize that doing this would ignore your feelings, and I'm sorry."

Chu Xi raised his head and looked at Yan Jingshuo very apologetically.

She didn't expect him to open up and tell her this.

"Your Highness, don't blame yourself. Chu Xi is too cowardly, which is why he is so timid."

"Xi'er, don't say that. In my heart, you are the bravest. You can go to Miaojiang to find the antidote for me. No one is braver than Xi'er.

Xier has done enough for me, and I was just too greedy and wanted more."

"Your Majesty..."

Chu Xi was deeply moved. She didn't expect that Yan Jingshuo, a prince, would say such words to her.

Is she really that important in Yan Jingshuo's heart?

Chu Xi raised her head and kissed the side of his face.

Suddenly, Yan Jingshuo's eyes lit up, and he turned around and kissed her back on the head.

After a while, I finally let go.

Yan Jingshuo tilted his head and looked at Chu Xi cautiously.

"Xier, can I ask you a question?"

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"Xi'er...are you in love with Nangong Yu?"
