The weak prince's queen

"Princess, the wood and carving knives are here. Do you think the quantity is enough?" Dong'er walked into the room carefully holding a few pieces of wood and asked softly.

Chu Xiyue checked carefully and replied, "It should be enough. Let's leave it like this for now. If it's not enough later, we can get more. We need to design the pattern tonight."

This was Chu Xiyue's first attempt at handcrafting, and she was a little hesitant, not knowing where to start. So, she fiddled with the wood intently, trying to find inspiration.

Dong'er saw that Chu Xiyue was so devoted and serious, she didn't dare to disturb her easily, so she waited quietly by the side.

Chu Xiyue first picked up a small knife and carefully cut off a small piece of wood. Then she used a carving knife to slowly trim it. After some effort, she finally carved it into a square rectangular shape.

"Then I'll just simply carve the word 'Zhong' first." Chu Xiyue said to herself.

Without hesitation, she picked up the carving knife and prepared to start carving. However, because she didn't control the strength well, the carving knife accidentally slipped across her finger, and blood immediately flowed.

"Ah! Princess, you are injured! Someone come to help!" Dong'er was panicked and shouted loudly.

At this time, Aunt Liu was about to come over to check what Chu Xiyue and Dong'er were going to do with the wood, and happened to hear Dong'er's scream.

"Mammy, the princess is injured." Dong'er shouted.

Nanny Liu hurried over and saw a deep scratch on Chu Xiyue's hand, with blood constantly flowing out.

"Princess, why are you so careless!" Nanny Liu said with concern, and quickly found gauze and hemostatic drugs.

Chu Xiyue smiled awkwardly: "I'm fine, I just accidentally scratched myself."

Aunt Liu carefully bandaged Chu Xiyue's wound and said, "Princess, you must not be so careless next time. What if the injury becomes more serious?"

Chu Xiyue nodded, indicating that she would be careful.

"Princess, you need to rest well and stop moving around." said Nanny Liu.

Chu Xiyue smiled and said, "I understand, Ma'am, don't worry. But my things are not finished yet."

Nanny Liu looked at Chu Xiyue's determined eyes, then looked at the things on the table, frowned and advised: "Princess, you can just tell the servants to do these things, why do it yourself? What if you hurt your hand again?" She looked at Chu Xiyue with concern, her eyes full of worry.

Chu Xiyue smiled and said firmly, "Mammy, this is not an ordinary thing. Currently, I am probably the only one who knows how to make it."

Nanny Liu sighed and said helplessly: "This is a trivial matter. I will find a craftsman for you. You just need to tell him the style you want. Besides, the princess's hand is injured now, so please don't do it yourself." She looked at Chu Xiyue's bandaged hand with heartache, and her heart was full of pity.

Chu Xiyue looked at her bandaged hand, thought about it, and felt that what Madam Liu said made sense, so she nodded and agreed: "Okay, then I will draw the pattern, and please find a craftsman with superb skills." She frowned slightly, as if she was worried that she would not be able to find a suitable person.

"It's getting late now, and it would be inconvenient for the craftsmen to come. I'd better arrange it tomorrow. Princess, please go to bed early today." Nanny Liu said gently.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, Madam." Chu Xiyue nodded with a smile, a hint of gratitude in her eyes.

The shadow guard who was secretly monitoring Chu Xiyue reported Chu Xiyue's injury in detail to Mo Feng, who immediately informed Xiao Yichen about it.

"Your Highness, according to the shadow guard's report, the princess was accidentally injured." Mo Feng replied respectfully.

"How did you get injured?" Xiao Yichen frowned, a hint of worry and confusion flashed in his eyes.

"It is said that they want to make something fun, but the princess hasn't said what it is yet." Mo Feng replied.

"How is your injury?" Xiao Yichen asked hurriedly.

"Madam Liu has taken care of it, it's nothing serious." Mo Feng said.

"That's good." Xiao Yichen finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still a little worried. "Send someone to check on her. Send anything she needs over immediately."

"Yes, sir!" Mo Feng replied.

"Also, pay close attention to her every move. If a similar situation occurs again, be sure to report it to me in time." Xiao Yichen warned seriously.

"Yes, I understand." Mo Feng nodded in response.

"Okay, you guys continue to guard it." Xiao Yichen felt relieved now, so he replied lightly.
