The weak prince's queen

"Princess...Princess..." Dong'er started calling Chu Xiyue as soon as she entered the room. Her voice was full of anxiety and concern, and there were tears in her eyes.

"I'm here..." Chu Xiyue tried to make her voice sound as loud as possible in response to Dong'er's call.

"Princess, I'm glad you're okay. You scared me to death. Woo woo..." After seeing that Chu Xiyue was safe and sound, Dong'er rushed to her and hugged her. Tears couldn't stop flowing, but at the same time she cried out with joy.

"Oh, it hurts! Little girl, I still have wounds on my body!" Chu Xiyue couldn't help but cry out in pain when Dong'er hugged her like this.

"Ah? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't notice and hurt you. How is it? Are you okay? Do you want me to ask the imperial physician to come and take a look?" Dong'er immediately let go of her hand and moved her body away when she heard Chu Xiyue's words, her face full of worry and self-blame.

"It doesn't hurt now, it's just that you were too excited just now and accidentally touched the wound on my chest." Chu Xiyue smiled and comforted Dong'er, indicating that she didn't need to worry too much.

Dong'er then noticed that Chu Xiyue's chest was wrapped in thick gauze. She carefully reached out and touched it gently, then asked with a distressed look on her face, "Sister Yue, does it still hurt now?"

"Much better. Doctor Ge has prescribed some medicine for me, and it's very effective." Chu Xiyue said with a relaxed look on her face, as if she was not the one who was injured.

"Then why did Sister Yue block the sword for the prince? Could it be that Sister Yue, you have some thoughts about the prince?" Dong'er suddenly showed a playful expression, stared at Chu Xiyue with a mischievous look, and asked teasingly.

Chu Xiyue was startled by her question, then her face turned slightly red and she said angrily: "Dong'er, don't talk nonsense!"

Dong'er, however, persisted and said with a smile, "Oh, Sister Yue is shy! Tell me quickly, are you in love with the prince?"

Chu Xiyue sighed helplessly and said, "Actually, I don't know why I did that. My mind was blank at the time, and I subconsciously rushed forward. Maybe it was because I didn't want to see him get hurt."

Dong'er listened, a sly look flashing in her eyes, and she said, "Hey, I think Sister Yue is interested in the prince. Otherwise, why would she be so worried about him?"

Chu Xiyue rolled her eyes at her and said, "Okay, stop talking about this nonsense."

Dong'er refused to give up and continued to ask, "What are you going to do in the future, Sister Yue? You can't keep going like this, right?"

Chu Xiyue thought for a moment and said, "Let's take it one step at a time. It's too early to say anything now. But I think the prince is a good person."

Dong'er's eyes lit up and she said, "Sister Yue, what you mean is, are you willing to be with the prince?"

Chu Xiyue smiled lightly and said, "Well, maybe we can give it a try."

Dong'er clapped her hands excitedly and said, "That's great! Sister Yue finally found someone she likes!"

Chu Xiyue was amused by her and said, "Even if that's the case, I don't know what he's thinking."

Dong'er said nonchalantly, "What are you afraid of? As long as Sister Yue likes you, just be brave and pursue your own happiness! I believe the prince will definitely accept Sister Yue."

Chu Xiyue looked at Dong'er's innocent and cute appearance and couldn't help laughing. She said, "Okay, I know. But this kind of thing can't be rushed. Let's take our time."

"In fact, the princess is the prince's wife." Dong'er blinked her bright eyes and said with certainty, as if this was an indisputable fact.

However, Chu Xiyue shook her head slightly, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes. She slowly said, "This doesn't count. This can only be considered a political marriage at best. What I really want is the experience of developing feelings for each other first and having a sweet love affair first."

Hearing this, a hint of doubt suddenly appeared in Dong'er's originally clear eyes. She tilted her head and asked in confusion: "Dating? What is that?"

Chu Xiyue straightened her clothes slightly, her eyes sparkling as she patiently explained, "In our time, falling in love meant that two people inadvertently developed a special feeling for each other, and then would make an appointment to spend some time together, carefully appreciating each other's personality, preferences, lifestyle, and other aspects to see if they were truly suitable for each other. If so, they would finally enter the palace of marriage."

After hearing this, Dong'er nodded, seemingly understanding, and then asked cautiously, "So Sister Yue and the prince got married first and then fell in love? Is that what you mean?"

Chu Xiyue smiled slightly, a look of reminiscence in her eyes, and said softly, "You can understand it that way."

Just as they were finishing their conversation, seemingly lost in their own thoughts, a calm and somewhat majestic figure slowly walked into the room. It turned out to be Xiao Yichen, dressed in a gorgeous brocade robe, his posture as straight as a pine tree, and his whole body exuding an innate kingly aura.

"Your Highness..." Upon seeing this, Dong'er quickly put down the work in her hands and bowed respectfully to him.

Xiao Yichen raised his hand slightly, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he said softly: "No need to be polite."

Looking at the scene in front of her, Dong'er secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Then I will go get some exquisite snacks for the princess to try, and by the way, let the prince satisfy his craving. I will go out first." After that, she turned around and quickly left the room, leaving only Chu Xiyue and Xiao Yichen. There seemed to be a subtle breath in the air.

Chu Xiyue watched Dong'er's departing figure, a little lost in thought. She recalled her earlier conversation with Dong'er, feeling a surge of emotion. She had originally thought her marriage to Xiao Yichen was a political transaction, but she hadn't imagined she'd developed a strange feeling for him.

She sat there quietly, her eyes unconsciously falling on Xiao Yichen. He was still as handsome as ever, with a calm and majestic look between his brows.

Chu Xiyue bit her lower lip lightly, an inexplicable urge welling up in her heart. She wanted to break the awkward and silent atmosphere and say something to Xiao Yichen, but when the words came to her lips, she didn't know how to start.

She secretly observed Xiao Yichen's expression, trying to read some clues from his eyes. However, his eyes were always as calm as water, making it impossible for her to guess his inner thoughts.

Time passed quietly, and the atmosphere in the room became increasingly subtle. Chu Xiyue's heart gradually became nervous. She didn't know what to do next, and she only hoped to find an opportunity to change the relationship between them.
