Yue State, in the study of the East Palace.

Jing Yu sat behind the desk as a secret guard reported to him, "Your Highness, I've just found out. A few months ago, when Your Highness traveled to Daqing, the Imperial Guard Commander, Lord Zhao Tuo, was not at the palace either. However, because so much time has passed, I haven't been able to find out exactly where Lord Zhao went during those days."

"Yes." Jing Yu nodded and ordered, "Keep a close eye on Mr. Zhao these days. If there is any situation, report to me immediately."

"Yes, I obey your command." Just as the secret guard was about to turn around and leave, Jing Yu stopped him and warned, "Lord Zhao is quite skilled in martial arts, and his Qinggong is even more impressive. When you are following him, be very careful not to be discovered by him."

"Yes, Your Highness, please rest assured." The secret guard took the order and turned to leave.

Jing Yu saw the secret guard leave the room and sit on the chair again. He thought for a while before standing up and walking outside.

******

In the wedding room of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace, Princess Jing'an had already finished bathing and was sitting on the wedding bed with Xiaobai in her arms, looking a little nervous.

The maids and servants in the room had already left, leaving only Yingxiang alone with Princess Jing'an.

"Crown Princess, today's Imperial Concubine was so arrogant and domineering that she tried to embarrass you time and time again. I don't know what her intention was." Yingxiang had been standing behind Princess Jing'an in the hall today, and she saw everything the Imperial Concubine did.

Princess Jing'an remained silent after hearing Yingxiang's words. She touched Xiaobai's fur with her hand and couldn't help but think of the words that Jindou had specifically told her before she came.

On the night before coming, Jindou repeatedly reminded himself to be careful of Concubine Ji.

At the ceremony today, this Imperial Concubine Ji repeatedly spoke disrespectfully to him, intent on publicly embarrassing him. As Jindou had said, she was indeed a sinister and vicious person.

This was the first time I met her today, and she couldn't wait to plot against me. It seems I really have to be careful in the future.

Princess Jing'an was thinking about this when Yingxiang, who was standing beside her, calculated the time and became a little anxious. She said to Princess Jing'an, "Crown Princess, it's so late, why hasn't the Crown Prince come yet?"

Today is the wedding day of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. The groom has not come yet, leaving the princess alone in the empty room for such a long time. It is really unacceptable.

"The prince must be busy with something right now," Princess Jing'an said in a low voice. She was extremely nervous and hoped that the prince could come later.

"Yingxiang, go down first and take care of Xiaobai." Princess Jing'an looked at the little rabbit sleeping soundly in her arms, stroked its fur lovingly, and said to Yingxiang.

"Yes, I'll go right away." Yingxiang reached out and took Xiaobai from Princess Jing'an's arms, then turned and walked out.

Princess Jing'an sat alone in the bridal chamber, silently. When she thought of the appearance of the Crown Prince of Yue that she had seen today, her face couldn't help but turn slightly red.

Jindou was right. The prince of Yue State was indeed a handsome man with extraordinary bearing.

Thinking back to when I was born, with a birthmark on half my face, I had already prepared myself for a life of loneliness. Who could have imagined that today, I would marry such a handsome husband, the Crown Prince of Yue, and now, I have become the Crown Princess.

I never dared to even think about this kind of thing before.

Princess Jing'an thought of this and pounded her numb legs with her hands. Just as she was about to stand up and walk around, she heard the salutes of the guards and palace maids outside: "Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Upon hearing the voice, Princess Jing'an was so frightened that she quickly sat back on the bed and hurriedly adjusted the phoenix crown on her head with her hands.

Jing Yu, wearing a bright red wedding dress, stood in the yard and waved his hand, saying, "You all go back."

"Yes, Your Highness," the eunuchs and palace maids in the courtyard bowed and retreated.

Looking at the tightly closed door of the bridal chamber, Jing Yu hesitated for a moment and slowly walked forward.

Princess Jing'an was sitting upright on the wedding bed. When she heard the door open, she couldn't help but look over. She happened to meet Jing Yu's gaze. Her face immediately turned red, and she quickly withdrew her gaze and lowered her head.

Compared to Princess Jing'an's current nervousness and shyness, Jing Yu's face was calm at this moment, without any excitement and impatience that a groom should have.

For him, marrying the princess of Daqing was just a political marriage.

Today at the ceremony, when he first saw the princess, he was also stunned by her beauty for a moment, but it was only for a moment, and it was only a moment of astonishment, but not a moment of attraction.

However, no matter what, the ceremony has been completed today, and the princess of Daqing Kingdom is now his crown princess. Whether he likes her or not, he will have to stay with this person for the rest of his life.

Thinking of this, Jing Yu slowly walked to the wedding bed, lifted his robe and sat down.

When Princess Jing'an saw Prince Jingyu sitting next to her, she became even more nervous and her face turned red.

Although she was a princess of a country, because of the birthmark on her face, she stayed in her own palace almost from childhood to adulthood and basically never went to crowded places.

This was especially true since she had never been in such close contact with a man before. At this moment, Princess Jing'an felt her heart beating violently, and her face felt like it was on fire, burning hot.

Jing Yu looked at the princess's blushing face, and her shy expression. His own face, which had been calm all the time, finally began to heat up. He thought for a moment and asked casually, "Is the Crown Princess's name Princess Fengyang?"

Fengyang? Princess Jing'an was stunned for a moment, then she reacted, bit her lip and said, "Your Highness, your majesty, your majesty's name is Jing'an."

"Jing'an?" Jing Yu asked in confusion, "The marriage letter states that she is Princess Fengyang."

Princess Jing'an stood up and knelt before Jing Yu: "Your Highness, Princess Fengyang suddenly fell ill before the marriage, so my father asked me to come in her place. This is really a last resort. I hope Your Highness will not blame me."

Jing Yu leaned over and helped Princess Jing'an up, saying, "Crown Princess, you're worrying too much. This is a matter of last resort, how could I blame you?"

For Jing Yu, it doesn’t matter which princess comes, it’s just a political marriage.

After the two of them sat back on the bed, Jing Yu spoke again to Princess Jing'an, "Today, you and I are married. From now on, if you have anything to say, please don't kneel before me."

"Yes, I...I understand," Princess Jing'an replied with a blushing face.

The two of them sat in silence for a while, and Jing Yu stood up and said, "It's getting late, you and I should rest early."
