The weak prince's queen

"Here she comes... Master, the eldest lady is back, no, the princess is back, and there are several cars here." A servant ran back excitedly, his face filled with excitement and joy, and reported the exciting news to Master Lin in a trembling voice.

Hearing the report from the servant, a hint of surprise flashed in Master Lin's eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a satisfied smile: "Let's go, let's go out to welcome the princess." He waved his hand to signal everyone to follow, his steps brisk and firm, his heart full of anticipation.

Although Madam Lin appeared to be smiling, a sense of loss welled up within her. She knew full well that Lin Ruoxue was now the princess consort. If she were favored, she feared she would harbor resentment towards them because of past events, perhaps even returning for revenge. Therefore, she clutched Lin Ruoyun's hand tightly and, fearfully, followed Master Lin, cautiously leaving the mansion.

"Princess, we've arrived at the Lin Mansion," Dong'er said softly, a hint of respect in her tone. She reached out and gently supported Chu Xiyue, helping her get off the carriage smoothly.

Chu Xiyue slowly stepped down from the carriage, her posture graceful and her manners dignified. Her beauty was like a blooming flower, emitting an enchanting fragrance. The onlookers were amazed at her beauty, their eyes filled with astonishment.

"What a beautiful princess!" A commoner couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, his eyes full of admiration.

"Yes, she is such a beauty." Another citizen echoed and nodded in agreement.

Master Lin looked around, expecting to see more people getting off the carriage. However, his expression gradually became a little ugly, because apart from Chu Xiyue, no one else got off.

"Master Lin...Prince..." Mo Feng was about to explain something when he was interrupted by Master Lin.

"Let's go into the mansion first..." Master Lin said.

Madam Lin stared at Lin Ruoxue closely. Seeing that she had returned alone, she couldn't help but feel ecstatic. It seemed that Lin Ruoxue was not favored in the palace. She was really something that no one wanted! Thinking of this, Madam Lin's mouth curled up slightly, and a hint of pride flashed in her eyes.

"The banquet is ready, please take your seats." Master Lin's voice sounded again.

Everyone stood up and headed towards the banquet hall. Master Lin took the main seat first, while Madam Lin and Lin Ruoyun sat around him, forming a small, intimate circle. Chu Xiyue, on the other hand, found a random seat and sat down, a faint smile on her face, as if she was indifferent to everything around her.

"Commander Mo Feng, please join us for dinner." Master Lin turned to look at Mo Feng and gave the order.

"Yes, Master Lin," Mo Feng replied respectfully. He knew he had another important task today: keeping a close eye on Chu Xiyue, observing whether she was plotting anything with Master Lin. Therefore, he walked over to the table without hesitation and took a seat with everyone else.

After the banquet began, Master Lin didn't say a word to Chu Xiyue, not even a simple greeting. Instead, Madam Lin said hypocritically, "Xue'er, the palace is not like the Lin Mansion. You have to be more tolerant and remember not to act recklessly again."

Mrs. Lin's words were full of hypocrisy and pretense, but Chu Xiyue just smiled and didn't respond. She knew what Mrs. Lin was thinking and didn't want to get entangled with her too much.

Mrs. Lin felt very bored when no one responded to her words, so she stopped talking.

After a simple meal, Chu Xiyue took Dong'er for a stroll in the back garden.

At the same time, in the main hall, Master Lin and Mo Feng were leisurely sipping tea.

Mo Feng apologized to Master Lin, "Master Lin, the prince is unwell and cannot go out, so he specially ordered me to come and apologize to you."

Master Lin replied calmly, "Don't worry about it. Your Majesty's health is the most important thing."

Mo Feng said, "Lord Lin is so understanding. I will report the truth to His Majesty when I return."

Master Lin smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Commander Mo. Please have some tea."

Mo Feng nodded in thanks and began to taste the tea.

Elsewhere, Chu Xiyue and Dong'er were strolling in the back garden, chatting and laughing, the atmosphere relaxed and cheerful. However, Chu Xiyue's clothing was a bit complicated, making it difficult for her to walk.
