The weak prince's queen

This time, Nanny Liu specially arranged more solemn attire for Chu Xiyue, a lavender long skirt with exquisite patterns embroidered on the hem, and a white cloak, which made her look particularly dignified and elegant.

"Mammy, I'm a little nervous. What should I do? I might get beheaded?" Chu Xiyue asked uneasily.

"Princess, please remember to be careful with your words and actions. Also, don't forget the court etiquette that I taught you every day. Also, follow the prince closely. The prince will protect you well." Aunt Liu comforted softly.

"Okay. I'll remember it." Chu Xiyue took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

"Princess, the prince asked me to come and ask if everything is ready to leave for the palace." Mo Feng asked loudly at the door.

"Uh...it's okay." Chu Xiyue responded and stood up.

"Princess, relax and talk less. The prince is here to take care of everything." Madam Liu reminded again.

"Well, thank you, Ma'am." Chu Xiyue knew that Ma'am Liu was comforting her, and she felt a little more at ease.

Afterwards, Chu Xiyue boarded the carriage with Dong'er's help. Xiao Yichen had been waiting in the carriage long ago. He was wearing a gorgeous brocade robe and sat there expressionlessly. When he saw Chu Xiyue board the carriage, he just nodded slightly.

Perhaps due to her nervousness, Chu Xiyue seemed particularly reserved and fidgety throughout the journey. She would occasionally lift the curtains and peer out the window, wondering where she was and how far away the palace was. She was deeply apprehensive. After all, she was just a modern girl, completely clueless about the rules and etiquette of the ancient palace. If she said or did the wrong thing, she could lose her head!

Xiao Yichen keenly sensed Chu Xiyue's uneasiness and asked softly, "What's wrong? Are you too nervous?"

Chu Xiyue nodded and said with a wry smile, "Yes, this is my first time to enter the palace to see the emperor. If I don't perform well and the emperor blames me, my life will be in danger."

"First time?" Xiao Yichen frowned and looked at Chu Xiyue in confusion. He remembered meeting Lin Ruoxue once in the palace when he was a child, but it had been so long that she might have forgotten.

Chu Xiyue nodded affirmatively and replied, "Yes, I'm really afraid that something might go wrong."

"As long as I'm here, Princess, you only need to stay by my side." Xiao Yichen looked at the anxious Chu Xiyue and couldn't help but feel a trace of pity in his heart. Although this incident was also an opportunity to test whether she was a spy sent by the palace to lurk around him, when he saw her petite and fragile body, his heart couldn't help but feel distressed.

"Thank you, Your Highness. I'm fine." Hearing Xiao Yichen's concerned words, Chu Xiyue took a deep breath and tried to adjust her mindset. She told herself that she could handle the situation. After all, after experiencing countless intrigues and deceptions in modern society, this little difficulty was nothing.

"Prince, Princess, we've arrived at the palace." Mo Feng's voice interrupted Chu Xiyue's thoughts.

"Hmm..." Xiao Yichen responded softly.

With the help of Mo Feng, Xiao Yichen slowly got off the carriage and sat steadily in the wheelchair. His face was slightly tired, but he still maintained his elegant and noble temperament.

Chu Xiyue got out of the car right after him. When she saw Xiao Yichen sitting in a wheelchair, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with the prince's foot?"

Seeing this, Mo Feng quickly explained, "The prince's feet hurt again."

Chu Xiyue was filled with concern when she heard this. She looked at Xiao Yichen's pale face and couldn't help asking, "Ah? How is the prince feeling now? Is he seriously injured?"

Xiao Yichen smiled slightly and comforted, "I'm fine, just feeling a little uncomfortable." After that, he signaled Mo Feng to push the wheelchair and continue moving forward.

Chu Xiyue followed silently, her eyes fixed on Xiao Yichen, her heart filled with worry. At the same time, she was also shocked by the magnificent palace. Her eyes widened in amazement at its grandeur and splendor.

She couldn't help but think: No wonder the ancients longed to be emperor, even going so far as to kill their brothers and fathers just to fight for this supreme power. After all, the temptation of power is truly irresistible.

Inside the palace, the palace servants were busy preparing for the banquet. They moved between the rooms, setting the tableware and arranging the decorations. It was a bustling scene.
