The weak prince's queen

"Dong'er, what's going on? Shangguan Yan is not here. Did I remember it wrong?" Chu Xiyue murmured to herself with a look of loss on her face.

"Miss, maybe there really is no such person." Dong'er said uncertainly.

"Maybe. We're tired of searching. Let's go back to the room." Chu Xiyue said with a sigh.

"Okay, miss." Dong'er nodded and said.

Not long after Chu Xiyue and Dong'er returned to their room, Nanny Liu walked in.

"Princess, the prince asked me to tell you that tomorrow is the day to return home. Please make preparations." Aunt Liu said respectfully.

"Yes, I understand." Chu Xiyue nodded and replied.

"Miss..." Dong'er just called Chu Xiyue.

Madam Liu then turned back and scolded her, "You are such an unrepentant servant! Now that your eldest daughter has married into the palace as a concubine, you should respectfully address her as Princess. You have no manners at all."

"Yes, Ma'am, you are right. I know I was wrong." Dong'er quickly knelt down and admitted her mistake.

"Dong'er, get up quickly." Chu Xiyue frowned, feeling a little dissatisfied with Aunt Liu's behavior, but still spoke softly.

"Princess, I'm fine." Dong'er said in a low voice.

Seeing that Dong'er had realized her mistake, Madam Liu stopped pestering her and turned away.

"Dong'er, get up quickly." Chu Xiyue hurried forward and helped Dong'er up.

"Princess, I'm fine." Dong'er shook her head and said softly.

"It's because I'm not strong enough that you have suffered such injustice." Chu Xiyue looked at Dong'er with heartache.

"No, when the young lady was here, we also lived very cautiously. Now we have tried many different things, and Dong'er feels very happy." Dong'er said with a smile.

"Okay, let's not talk about those unhappy things. By the way, I just heard Aunt Liu mention returning home, what does that mean?" Chu Xiyue changed the subject and asked curiously.

"Three days after the couple gets married, they need to go back to the wife's home. This is a very important ceremony." Dong'er explained patiently.

"Then what do I need to prepare?" Chu Xiyue asked curiously. She thought to herself that if she were to return to the Lin Mansion, there would probably be some special preparations and rituals.

"Princess, you don't need to prepare anything. Just dress up beautifully and go back in style." Dong'er replied with a smile. She knew that the princess had not been happy in the palace, but this time when she returned to the Lin Mansion, she must show her best side.

However, Chu Xiyue seemed helpless: "What glory can there be? I am not welcome in the palace, and I have to learn court etiquette. I haven't even seen the so-called prince a few times. Can I not go back tomorrow?" She was dissatisfied with this arrangement and felt that such a return was meaningless.

Dong'er quickly explained, "That's not okay. This is etiquette." She knew that the palace had many rules and regulations that could not be violated at will. Even if the princess was neglected in the palace, she still had to follow the corresponding etiquette when she returned to the Lin Mansion.

Chu Xiyue sighed and finally compromised: "Okay, let's rest early today. We still have to deal with those people tomorrow." She knew that she could not change this decision, so she could only prepare herself mentally to face tomorrow's situation.

"Okay, Princess, I'll be leaving now." Dong'er said and then quietly retreated.

Chu Xiyue lay in bed, her thoughts gradually sinking into deep thought. She couldn't help but wonder: Was all this a coincidence or fate? However, she quickly reflected that plots in modern television dramas are often adapted and fictionalized, so perhaps people with the same name and surname weren't uncommon. Furthermore, Xiao Yichen was a member of the royal family, making this situation even more likely. So, she told herself not to overthink it, to wait and see what would happen tomorrow before making any plans. As the saying goes, one step at a time; this was all that could be done in the current situation.

After figuring it out, Chu Xiyue lay down on her bed and soon fell into a deep sleep. In her dream, a vague figure gradually approached her. When she got closer, she found it was Xiao Yichen! Moreover, his face was full of gentle smiles, and he was looking at her affectionately. In an instant, Chu Xiyue was captivated by his handsome appearance and was completely captivated. She stared at Xiao Yichen with a smile on her face, like a nymphomaniac.

"So handsome." Chu Xiyue couldn't help but admire.
