The weak prince's queen

"Our prince is the same..." Madam Liu said with tears in her eyes, her voice choked with sobs and heartache. Her eyes revealed deep concern and worry for the prince, as if he was the most important person in her life.

Chu Xiyue was delighted, knowing she had successfully touched Madam Liu's heart. She listened quietly to Madam Liu's words, sensing the emotional turmoil deep within her. It seemed that Madam Liu had deep feelings for the prince and was willing to share some of the goings-on in the palace with her.

Chu Xiyue gently patted Madam Liu's hand and comforted her softly, "Madam, don't be too sad. I believe the prince will get better slowly." Her tone was full of determination and confidence, hoping to bring some comfort to Madam Liu.

"Our prince has been in poor health since childhood, and he's been taking medicine all year round. The Concubine Dowager also passed away early, so it was I, this old servant, who watched him grow up." As Madam Liu reminisced about the past, tears welled in her eyes. Her voice was tinged with sadness, but more so with emotion and helplessness about the prince's upbringing.

Chu Xiyue thought: It seems that this nanny has a certain influence in the palace. I must build a good relationship with her. So, she continued to comfort Nanny Liu, trying to make her feel warm and cared for.

"Madam, you've worked so hard..." Chu Xiyue touched Madam Liu's hand and kept comforting her. Her eyes were full of sympathy and understanding, hoping to alleviate Madam Liu's inner pain.

"It's not hard for me, as long as the prince is healthy, safe and happy," said Madam Liu, with a relieved smile on her face. Her eyes revealed her deep blessing and expectation for the prince, hoping that he could live a happy life.

"Everything will be fine." Chu Xiyue gently stroked Lin Yuyao's hand and comforted her.

At this moment, Xiao Yichen stood quietly not far away, listening to their conversation clearly. The originally warm scene should have lasted longer, but the presence of Xiao Yichen broke the tranquility.

Xiao Yichen thought to himself: "This eldest daughter of the Lin family is indeed not simple. She is so good at bewitching people." A subtle alert flashed in his eyes.

"Madam Liu, how is the princess's etiquette learning going?" Xiao Yichen asked softly while sitting in a wheelchair being pushed by Mo Feng.

Hearing the voice, Aunt Liu immediately replied respectfully: "Your Highness, I am teaching the princess." Her tone revealed her awe for Xiao Yichen.

"Your Highness." After hearing the voice, Chu Xiyue quickly turned around, her eyes flashing with surprise and curiosity.

When she saw Xiao Yichen, she couldn't help but be drawn to his appearance. His long, lustrous black hair cascaded over his shoulders, his delicate features seemed sculpted, and his deep, star-like eyes shone brightly, captivating her. Although his face was pale and sickly, it didn't diminish his unique aura, instead adding a touch of mystery and charm.

For a moment, Chu Xiyue was deeply fascinated by his handsomeness. She stared at him blankly, as if she had forgotten everything around her.

"So handsome!" Chu Xiyue couldn't help but sigh inwardly, a slight blush spreading across her face. She had seen countless men in modern society, especially handsome men. However, the Xiao Yichen before her possessed a unique aura and charm. His looks were truly legendary. If he were in the modern world, he would surely easily crush those so-called "fresh meats."

"No, no, this wasn't the person who came to pick up the bride that day? Could it be that even something as important as getting married requires a replacement?" Chu Xiyue pondered as she carefully observed Xiao Yichen. She tried to find clues in his expression, behavior, and words to solve the mystery.

Xiao Yichen felt a little uncomfortable under Chu Xiyue's intense gaze. He coughed lightly, breaking the silence. "This prince believes that the princess's etiquette learning is slow. This is unacceptable. Madam Liu must intensify her teaching efforts to ensure that the princess masters all necessary etiquette norms as soon as possible. From now on, the princess must study for at least three hours every day, and this prince will personally inspect her progress to prevent her from losing face in public."

"Yes, as you command," Madam Liu replied respectfully, a glint of determination in her eyes. She knew she had an important responsibility: to train the new princess into a woman who met the royal standards.

After Xiao Yichen finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving Chu Xiyue and Aunt Liu there. After Aunt Liu watched him leave, she turned to look at Chu Xiyue and said seriously, "Princess, since the prince has given the order, then this old servant can only teach you according to his request. Let's start now."

"Ah? Okay..." Chu Xiyue answered reluctantly.
