The weak prince's queen

"Your Highness..." Chu Xiyue's voice was soft and gentle, like a spring breeze blowing through her heart. She smiled, her eyes gentle as water, and gently called out to Xiao Yichen.

Xiao Yichen looked at Chu Xiyue dancing beside him with a doting look, a faint smile on his face. Her dance moves were light and graceful, like a fairy descending to earth, and every movement was full of charm and grace.

"My dear, please go slowly." Xiao Yichen said softly, his eyes full of concern. He was worried that Chu Xiyue would accidentally fall or get hurt, but more importantly, it was because of his love for her.

Chu Xiyue's smile brightened upon hearing this, like the warmest sunshine on a spring day. She quickened her dance steps, dancing in front of Xiao Yichen like a happy butterfly.

At this moment, a ray of dazzling sunlight stung Xiao Yichen's eyes, forcing him to open them slightly. He blinked and realized that he was dreaming.

"It was just a dream." Xiao Yichen sighed in disappointment, looking up at the ceiling, a complex emotion welling up in his heart. He was still immersed in the beautiful dream just now and didn't want to wake up easily.

Just as he was about to get up, his eyes accidentally caught sight of Chu Xiyue lying beside him. She lay quietly on the bed, her eyes closed, breathing evenly and deeply.

Xiao Yichen gazed at Chu Xiyue, captivated by her beauty. Her skin was as white as snow, delicate as jade, and radiant with a soft glow. Her lustrous black hair cascaded down to her waist, adding a touch of allure to her. Her cherry-like lips were especially captivating, making one want to kiss them.

"What are you thinking about?" Xiao Yichen muttered to himself, realizing that his thoughts were a bit unrealistic. He quickly shook his head, trying to dispel the distracting thoughts in his mind. After all, now was not the time to think about random things. More important things lay before him.

Yet, despite this, he couldn't take his eyes off Chu Xiyue. Her beautiful, gentle face held a kind of magic, drawing his gaze. He couldn't help but feel an urge to reach out and touch her face, to feel her delicate skin and warmth. But in the end, reason triumphed over desire, and he simply watched her silently, savoring this moment of peace and beauty.

At this moment, Chu Xiyue suddenly stretched and slowly opened her eyes. She looked at Xiao Yichen with sleepy eyes, a smile of surprise on her face: "Prince, you are awake!"

Seeing Chu Xiyue wake up, Xiao Yichen's mood also became cheerful. He smiled and responded: "Yes, the king has been awake for a while. But Princess, you have taken care of the king all night, thank you for your hard work."

Hearing Xiao Yichen's concern, Chu Xiyue felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She quickly shook her head and said, "It's not hard. By the way, how is your Highness feeling? Is there anything ailing you?" Then, she reached out and gently touched Xiao Yichen's forehead to check if his temperature was normal. Feeling Chu Xiyue's concern, Xiao Yichen was deeply moved.

"You're feeling much better now." Xiao Yichen looked at Chu Xiyue and said gently.

Chu Xiyue nodded shyly: "Yeah, much better."

She hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Actually... I... I want to talk to you."

Xiao Yichen raised the corner of his mouth slightly and nodded: "Well, go ahead."

Chu Xiyue took a deep breath and mustered her courage to ask, "I want to ask you, your attitude towards me has changed drastically since you returned from the palace. Is it because you think I'm a spy arranged by the Queen to be by your side?"

Xiao Yichen raised his eyebrows, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he still nodded.

Chu Xiyue bit her lip and continued, "Indeed, when I returned to the Lin Mansion that day, my father wanted me to do so and tell him the news about you, but I refused."

Xiao Yichen looked at her in surprise and asked, "Oh? Why do you want to refuse? He's your father."

Chu Xiyue looked up at him, a determined light flashing in her eyes: "So what if he's my father? If he's my father, he shouldn't ask me to do the wrong thing and put me in an unkind and unjust situation. I'm not that kind of person, and I will never do such a thing."

Xiao Yichen showed a look of surprise on his face and couldn't help laughing: "Haha, I see, it seems that I misunderstood you."

Chu Xiyue glared at him angrily: "You can still laugh!"

Xiao Yichen quickly suppressed his smile and said seriously: "I'm sorry, it's my fault. Now I believe you."

"It's okay. It's okay if you don't believe me now. I know it may be difficult for you to believe it all at once. I hope you will give me a chance and don't hide from me. I really don't like this feeling." Chu Xiyue looked at him seriously, her eyes full of sincerity and expectation.

Xiao Yichen was silent for a moment and then replied: "I'll know later."

Chu Xiyue smiled, her eyes sparkling with joy, "That's right, that's what friends are like." She patted his shoulder to show her approval.

However, Xiao Yichen asked with some confusion, "Friend?" as if he was unfamiliar with the word.

Chu Xiyue opened her eyes wide and asked, "Aren't we friends?"

Xiao Yichen shook his head, his tone calm but with a hint of helplessness, "Since I was a child, I have never had any friends besides Mo Feng."

After hearing this, Chu Xiyue said without hesitation: "It's okay, I will be your friend from now on. Oh, and Dong'er too." After saying that, she hugged Xiao Yichen's shoulders affectionately.

Xiao Yichen was slightly stunned, and nodded embarrassedly, "Yeah." His eyes were always fixed on the generous Chu Xiyue in front of him, and a strange emotion surged in his heart.

Chu Xiyue blinked her bright big eyes, a playful smile on her face, and asked softly, "Then my friend, can I make a small request of you?" Her tone was a little coquettish and expectant.

The corners of Xiao Yichen's mouth rose slightly, outlining a faint smile. His eyes were gentle and doting, and he replied softly: "Go ahead." His voice was as gentle and low as the melodious sound of a violin, as if he was ready and willing to meet any of her requests.

Chu Xiyue's eyes sparkled with sincerity. She looked at Xiao Yichen seriously and said cautiously, "Can we skip those cumbersome formalities?"

Xiao Yichen chuckled softly, his laughter hearty and warm, making people feel extremely happy. He nodded in agreement and said, "Haha... Of course, but in front of outsiders, we still need to observe etiquette to avoid being caught by others."

Chu Xiyue nodded, understanding what Xiao Yichen meant, and then said with concern: "Of course, then my friend, you should have a good rest first. I will make some delicious food to nourish you. You are still very weak now." Her eyes were full of care and love.

Xiao Yichen looked at Chu Xiyue gratefully and said with a smile, "Thank you." A warm feeling surged in his heart, and he felt her sincerity and kindness.

Chu Xiyue turned around and left lightly, leaving Xiao Yichen lying alone on the soft bed, recalling the warm moment just now.
