The weak prince's queen

The sun was shining brightly, and a gentle breeze blew. A richly decorated carriage slowly stopped in front of Zuixian Tower. The curtains were gently lifted, and a slender hand reached out. Then, Lin Ruoyun's graceful figure appeared before everyone. She was dressed in a pale pink silk dress, the hem of which fluttered in the wind, like a fairy descending to earth.

With the careful support of her personal maid Xiang'er, Lin Ruoyun carefully stepped onto the horse stool and slowly stepped down from the carriage. Her long black hair, which fell like a waterfall and was dotted with a few delicate pearl flowers, swayed gently, making her face look even more beautiful and charming.

After entering Zuixianlou, the guests in the restaurant cast astonished glances at her. Meanwhile, the sharp-eyed shopkeeper also noticed this woman with outstanding temperament. He hurried forward, a smile on his face, and respectfully asked, "Miss, how many guests do you have here?"

Xiang'er quickly replied, "We came here to fulfill Master Xuan's invitation."

After hearing this, the shopkeeper understood and became even more respectful: "Oh, it's a distinguished guest! Please come in quickly. Master Xuan has been waiting in the private room upstairs for a long time."

Lin Ruoyun was overjoyed to hear that the prince had arrived early and was waiting for her. However, she came from a prominent family and had received a good upbringing since childhood, so she quickly suppressed her emotions and simply nodded slightly to the shopkeeper.

Afterwards, under the enthusiastic guidance of the shopkeeper, Lin Ruoyun followed closely behind him and walked towards the private room. When they reached the door, the shopkeeper first politely raised his hand and knocked lightly. After hearing a voice of agreement from inside, he gently pushed the door open and stepped aside to let Lin Ruoyun in.

As the heavy door slowly opened, Xiao Zixuan, seated at the table, looked up, his gaze instantly captivated by the graceful figure approaching. Lin Ruoyun was dressed in a pale pink dress, her sleeves flowing like a fairy descending from the heavens. The color was the exact same one Lin Ruoxue had worn when Xiao Zixuan first met her. For a moment, he felt as if the person before him was the woman who had captivated him so deeply that day.

Xiao Zixuan stared blankly at Lin Ruoyun until she came closer, and then he suddenly came to his senses. At this moment, Lin Ruoyun's cheeks were flushed by his blazing gaze. She lowered her head shyly and said softly, "Master Xuan..."

Hearing Lin Ruoyun's voice, Xiao Zixuan stood up as if awakened from a dream and hurried forward to greet her. His face was filled with joy, and he said excitedly, "Miss Lin, I'm so rude! You are so beautiful and charming that I was completely mesmerized by you. I hope you won't blame me. Please take a seat."

After hearing this, Lin Ruoyun smiled slightly, her smile as charming as a flower blooming in spring. She gracefully bowed to Xiao Zixuan and responded in a soft and gentle voice, "My lord, you are polite."

After Lin Ruoyun sat down, Xiao Zixuan hurriedly ordered, "Serve the food quickly." The shopkeeper who was standing by waiting for orders heard this and quickly responded, "Okay, I'll be right there." After that, he turned around and left in a hurry.

However, at this moment, Xiao Zixuan sat at the table, his deep and blazing eyes fixed on Lin Ruoyun, who was not far away, without moving away for a moment. It was as if in his eyes, the whole world was only this beautiful figure.

And what about Lin Ruoyun? She appeared calm, yet inside she was already beating with joy like a deer. Yet, out of the reserved dignity expected of a lady from a noble family, she struggled to suppress her joy, trying to appear gentle and shy. The faint blush on her cheeks, the downcast eyes, the occasional nibble of her lip, all betrayed the turmoil within her.

Xiao Zixuan's affection for the captivating Lin Ruoyun grew stronger as he gazed upon her. He felt that the woman before him was not only stunningly beautiful, but also elegant, with a captivating charm emanating from every gesture. As he quietly gazed upon her, time seemed to stand still.

Before long, delicious dishes were served one after another. The table was filled with a variety of exquisite dishes, the aroma was fragrant and mouth-watering.

At this time, the shopkeeper came over with a smile on his face and said respectfully to Xiao Zixuan: "Young master, all the dishes you ordered have been served. Please enjoy them slowly. I will be waiting outside. If you have any other needs, just let me know." After saying that, he did not forget to bow to Xiao Zixuan.

Xiao Zixuan casually waved his hand, signaling the shopkeeper to leave. Then, he turned around, looked at Lin Ruoyun tenderly, and said softly, "Miss Ruoyun, let's start eating."

Xiao Zixuan's personal bodyguard gestured to Xiang'er, preparing to take her out of the room.

However, Xiang'er seemed a little hesitant. She turned to look at Lin Ruoyun and called softly, "Miss..."

Lin Ruoyun nodded slightly and responded softly, "Xiang'er, please wait outside for a moment."

Upon hearing this, Xiang'er nodded obediently and replied, "Yes." Then, she followed the guard out of the room and carefully closed the door slowly.

From beginning to end, Lin Ruoyun behaved with great knowledge and dignified manners. Even when dining, she behaved elegantly and politely, each movement just right, showing the demeanor of a lady from a noble family.

At this moment, Xiao Zixuan, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly broke the silence. He raised his head, his gaze fixed on Lin Ruoyun, and slowly spoke, "Miss Lin's appearance seems familiar to me. I wonder if you are acquainted with the Princess of Jin?"

When Lin Ruoyun heard the words "Princess of Jin," she was startled and almost cursed. However, she quickly realized her mistake and quickly corrected herself, saying in a low voice, "Sir, that is my eldest sister. I wonder why you ask that?"

Xiao Zixuan smiled slightly and explained, "Oh, I see. I just happened to hear someone mention recently that the Prince of Jin actually beat up the Princess of Jin in the street. It was really unbelievable. So, out of curiosity, I asked Miss Lin for some information."
