The weak prince's queen

Along the way, Chu Xiyue and Dong'er walked hand in hand, skipping and jumping all the way for a long time, while Mo Feng and Xiao Yichen followed quietly behind them.

Suddenly, Xiao Yichen felt a pain in his foot, and his pace slowed down. Mo Feng noticed his frown and asked anxiously, "Wang...Brother Xiao, is your foot hurting? Should we let Sister Yue go back home first?"

"It's okay, I can still hold on. Let her walk around a little longer." Xiao Yichen endured the pain and insisted on moving forward.

At this moment, Chu Xiyue, who was having a great time, noticed this scene. She immediately walked over quickly with a worried look on her face.

"Brother Xiao, what happened? Is your foot hurting again?" Chu Xiyue asked with concern, her eyes full of worry.

"It's nothing serious, it's okay, you can continue shopping." Xiao Yichen answered calmly, not wanting to make them worry.

"Sister Yue, Brother Xiao's foot injury has not fully recovered yet, so he can't walk such a long distance." Mo Feng couldn't bear to see the prince suffer, so he quickly added.

"Okay, then we'll go back home right away. Can you still walk by yourself? Mo Feng, come and help Brother Xiao." Chu Xiyue instantly became nervous, frowning, her tone full of anxiety.

After walking for a while, Chu Xiyue saw that there was no one else around, so she ordered, "Mo Feng, drive the carriage over here. Brother Xiao and I will wait here."

"Okay." Mo Feng replied and quickly drove the carriage in front of them.

Chu Xiyue carefully helped Xiao Yichen board the carriage and helped him sit firmly. Worried about Xiao Yichen's injury, she asked softly, "Your Highness, does your foot still hurt? Do you want to rest for a while?" Her eyes were full of concern and worry, and there was a glimmer of heartache in them.

Xiao Yichen shook his head slightly and replied apologetically: "I'm fine, I just feel a little sorry for spoiling the princess's fun." He felt guilty because he had to return early due to his foot injury.

Chu Xiyue gently comforted him, "It's okay, health is the most important thing. We can go to the market another day." She understood Xiao Yichen's situation and didn't care about the regret this time. She was more concerned about his health.

Xiao Yichen nodded in agreement, and the carriage began to move slowly forward. Silence fell inside, the only sound being the rolling of wheels and the clatter of horses' hooves. Perhaps exhausted from shopping, coupled with the jolting of the carriage, Chu Xiyue soon fell into a deep sleep. She leaned against the carriage, her head swaying with the rocking of the carriage, as if she might fall at any moment.

Xiao Yichen looked at Chu Xiyue, a flicker of pity in his eyes. He gently reached out, wanting to support her head, but hesitated. He worried about waking her, and he wasn't sure if this was the right thing to do. However, he ultimately carefully placed Chu Xiyue's head against his shoulder, protecting her from the turbulence. His movements were gentle and delicate, fearing to awaken the slumbering Chu Xiyue.

Xiao Yichen stared quietly at Chu Xiyue's delicate features, feeling an indescribable emotion welling up in his heart. Her beauty and innocence moved him deeply, and the sight of her sleeping peacefully at that moment filled him with even more pity.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Xiao Yichen was immersed in his thoughts about Chu Xiyue, as if forgetting everything around him. It was not until the carriage suddenly stopped that he came back to his senses.

"Prince, Princess, we have arrived at the palace." Mo Feng said softly.

Xiao Yichen nodded slightly, indicating that he understood the situation. He gazed at the sleeping Chu Xiyue with a gentle gaze, his heart filled with pity and love. He really couldn't bear to wake her. So, he carefully picked up Chu Xiyue and walked lightly towards her room.

Dong'er followed closely behind, walking slowly, for fear of making any noise and waking Chu Xiyue.

Along the way, the servants of the palace cast curious glances at them, especially Aunt Liu, who showed a relieved smile on her face when she saw the intimacy between Xiao Yichen and Chu Xiyue.

"It seems that the princess can really open the prince's heart. This is really great. May the princess bless you!" Nanny Liu said to herself happily, while clasping her hands together and praying to the sky.

Xiao Yichen gently placed Chu Xiyue on the bed and gently covered her with the quilt. Then he quietly gazed at Chu Xiyue, who was still sleeping soundly, with an indescribable emotion in his heart. However, he did not stay for long. He quickly turned around and left, gently closing the door.

"Take good care of the princess." Xiao Yichen instructed Dong'er.

Dong'er nodded obediently, with a determined glint in her eyes.
