The weak prince's queen

"Your Highness, Princess, please take a seat." Master Lin said respectfully.

Xiao Yichen smiled and nodded, then took Chu Xiyue's hand and walked to the seat. He said to Chu Xiyue gently, "My dear, please."

Chu Xiyue nodded slightly and sat down gracefully. After she was seated firmly, Xiao Yichen slowly sat down beside her.

After the two of them sat down, Master Lin asked, "Excuse me for asking, but what brings the prince and princess here today?"

Chu Xiyue frowned slightly when she heard this, and looked unhappy. She asked, "Why? Can't I come back and take a look?"

Master Lin quickly explained, "No, no, no, I have absolutely no such intention. I would love for the princess to return home to visit her family!"

At this time, Xiao Yichen smiled and said, "Lord Lin, you have misunderstood. I have come here specifically to apologize to you. I was unable to come in person to pick up the bride and return home due to illness. It is truly my fault."

Upon hearing this, Master Lin quickly said, "Your Highness, you are too kind. I completely understand that you are not feeling well. Your health is the most important thing."

Xiao Yichen nodded, then pointed to the gifts displayed outside and said, "I have prepared some small gifts, I hope Lord Lin will accept them."

Seeing this, Master Lin was flattered and said, "Your Highness is too polite. I do not want to receive gifts without merit. I really dare not accept these generous gifts."

"No, Master Lin's greatest contribution is to marry Xue'er to me and make her my princess. You deserve these rewards." Xiao Yichen said to Chu Xiyue with deep affection.

When Chu Xiyue saw him look at her like that, she suddenly felt embarrassed and lowered her head involuntarily.

"It is really my daughter's honor to receive such great love from the prince, and it is also a blessing for our entire Lin family!" Master Lin said excitedly.

"Oh? Really? But why did I hear some rumors a few days ago that Mr. Lin didn't seem to value this blessing, but instead wanted to cling to the Queen's big tree wholeheartedly!" Xiao Yichen said expressionlessly, with a hint of indifference in his tone.

When Master Lin heard this, he was so frightened that he trembled all over. He immediately knelt on the ground and hurriedly explained, "No, no, no, Your Highness, you misunderstood. I didn't mean that at all. Perhaps the princess misunderstood my meaning."

"Oh? According to what you said, could it be that the princess misunderstood you?" Xiao Yichen asked lightly.

"No, no, no, it's my fault, it's my fault, please forgive me, Your Highness." Master Lin kowtowed and admitted his mistake.

Xiao Yichen slowly stood up and walked steadily to Master Lin's side, offering a hand to help him up. Then, he leaned over to Master Lin's ear and whispered, "The Emperor is reluctant to let me go to my fiefdom because he's wary of me. I urge Master Lin not to get involved in this mess. If I were to fall, how could the Lin family remain unscathed?"

When Mr. Lin heard this, his face turned pale instantly and he stood there in a daze.

Seeing this, Xiao Yichen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and then said: "Master Lin, please take a seat quickly. Since Xue'er has married into the Prince Jin's Mansion, the Lin family has forged an indissoluble bond with the palace. In the future, I hope we can live in harmony and create a beautiful future together. Don't you agree, Master Lin?"

"Yes, yes, yes, Your Highness is absolutely right. I understand the reason very well. I swear here that something like this will never happen again. Please rest assured, Your Highness." Master Lin nodded quickly, indicating that he understood what Xiao Yichen meant.

"I'm deeply pleased that Master Lin has come to this realization. In this way, you remain my father-in-law and the loving father of my beloved princess." Xiao Yichen nodded with satisfaction and smiled. His eyes gleamed with admiration, and he was very satisfied with Master Lin's transformation.

"Thank you for your teachings, Your Highness. I will keep them in mind." Master Lin replied with tears of gratitude. He was fully aware of his mistake and understood Xiao Yichen's good intentions. He was filled with guilt and self-blame.

"Well, I have said this much. Lord Lin, please make your own decision. Please accept the several carts of gifts outside as a gift for meeting us. This time, the prince and the princess will not stay here for dinner. After all, the princess is not used to the food in the Lin Mansion." Xiao Yichen said seriously. There was a hint of firmness in his voice, making it impossible to refute.

After Xiao Yichen finished speaking, he slowly stood up, took Chu Xiyue's hand, and said gently: "My beloved, let's go back to the palace." His eyes fell on Chu Xiyue, his eyes full of love and concern.

"Okay." Chu Xiyue replied with a smile. Her face was filled with a happy smile, and she felt Xiao Yichen's care and love. She knew that Xiao Yichen was not only a majestic prince, but also a considerate husband.

Xiao Yichen held Chu Xiyue's hand and walked slowly in the Lin Mansion, attracting everyone in the Lin Mansion to stop and watch. After all, the prince and princess, one handsome and the other beautiful, when they walked together, they were simply a beautiful landscape that was pleasing to the eye.

Lin Ruoyun, who was standing by, was so angry when she saw this scene that she gritted her teeth and cursed Chu Xiyue and Xiao Yichen in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it.

Finally, Chu Xiyue got on the carriage. She was immediately overwhelmed with excitement and said to Xiao Yichen happily, "That was really great just now. Look at how scared Mr. Lin was. It was really satisfying!"

Xiao Yichen looked at Chu Xiyue who was so excited, and a trace of doubt could not help but arise in his heart. After all, Master Lin was Chu Xiyue's biological father, so why would she be so happy to see her father being humiliated?

However, Chu Xiyue quickly noticed Xiao Yichen's doubts and quickly explained, "My father brought it upon himself. As for why I'm so happy... the key is actually because of my stepmother. She got slapped twice, which really makes me feel extremely happy."

Hearing this, Xiao Yichen nodded, expressing his understanding. It turned out that what Chu Xiyue really cared about was not Master Lin himself, but her hateful stepmother.

Chu Xiyue looked at Xiao Yichen gratefully and said sincerely, "I have to thank you, Your Highness, for letting me vent my anger."

Xiao Yichen nodded slightly and replied firmly, "No one should dare to touch my people."

These words were like a heavy hammer, striking Chu Xiyue's heartstrings fiercely. She lowered her head shyly, a blush spreading across her face, and whispered softly, "You said I was the prince's."

At this moment, Chu Xiyue's heart was pounding like a deer. She had never imagined that she would be so cherished and protected by the prince. All of this made her feel extremely happy and sweet.
