The weak prince's queen

Chu Xiyue still maintained the same posture as before, lying by the window of the carriage, staring outside without blinking, watching this ancient night.

"The roads in ancient times are just a little too dark." Chu Xiyue muttered softly, seeming a little dissatisfied, but also felt that this atmosphere was very novel.

Since the market is concentrated in a specific area and is far away from the palace, the area around the market is usually quite noisy.

Xiao Yichen sat quietly aside, his eyes gently falling on Chu Xiyue, with a faint smile on his lips.

Suddenly, Chu Xiyue shouted excitedly: "Wow... we're here at the market!" She pointed ahead and saw bright lights and a bustling scene.

It was not convenient for the carriage to enter the market directly, so it stopped not far away.

After Chu Xiyue got off the carriage, she couldn't wait to walk towards the market.

"Your Highness, let's go." She looked back at Xiao Yichen, then walked quickly forward.

"Walk slowly and be careful." Xiao Yichen hurriedly followed her and reminded her with concern.

"Come here quickly, Brother Xiao." Chu Xiyue walked to a stall and excitedly waved to Xiao Yichen to come over.

Xiao Yichen smiled and replied, "Okay, Wang...Sister Yue." He almost forgot that he should keep a low profile when he was out, but fortunately he remembered in time the name he and Chu Xiyue had agreed upon for public address.

Seeing this, Xiao Yichen hurried forward and followed Chu Xiyue closely. After all, the market was crowded and bustling, so some bumps and bruises were inevitable, so he had to stay vigilant at all times to make sure he could protect her.

Chu Xiyue had clearly noticed Xiao Yichen's actions, and a bright smile unconsciously appeared on her face. She even deliberately walked in a serpentine manner, trying to tease Xiao Yichen. Sure enough, Xiao Yichen immediately understood and quickly followed her pace. Seeing this scene, Chu Xiyue couldn't help but chuckle.

Mo Feng and Dong'er, who were following behind them, were watching everything in front of them with great interest, with smiles on their faces, as if they were enjoying a wonderful show.

"Dong'er, I never thought that Brother Xiao actually has such a lovely side!" Mo Feng said softly with a smile. He looked at Xiao Yichen and Chu Xiyue in front of him, his eyes full of curiosity.

"Of course, Brother Xiao must be worried that Sister Yue might get hurt." Dong'er blinked and explained seriously. She knew the relationship between Xiao Yichen and Chu Xiyue very well, so she didn't find it strange.

"If this continues, I'm afraid Brother Xiao will become a typical henpecked husband in the future!" Mo Feng teased mischievously, with a sly glint in his eyes.

"What nonsense are you talking about, Mo Feng? How dare you say that our Sister Yue is fierce? I'll teach you a lesson!" Dong'er pretended to be angry when she heard Mo Feng's words, and waved her little fist as if to hit him.

"Haha, come chase me, let's see if you can catch up!" Mo Feng said with a playful smile, then turned around and ran away. As he ran, he turned back and made faces at Dong'er.

Dong'er was amused by Mo Feng's behavior and laughed, and then she chased after him. The two of them chased and played in the busy city, their laughter echoing in the air.

"You damn Mo Feng, I'll teach you a lesson when I catch you!" Dong'er shouted as she chased Mo Feng. The two of them chased and played around in the market.

Chu Xiyue felt very happy seeing them happy, and said with a smile: "Haha, seeing them so happy, I feel very happy too!"

At this time, a vendor selling candied haws walked by, shouting. Chu Xiyue's eyes lit up, and she pointed at the candied haws and shouted excitedly, "Wow, candied haws! That's my favorite. I must try one!" Then she reached out and took a string of candied haws, turned to look at Xiao Yichen and asked, "Brother Xiao, do you want one too?"

Xiao Yichen shook his head and replied, "No, thank you." But he was secretly muttering in his heart that Chu Xiyue had dragged him to taste all kinds of delicious food along the way, and he began to wonder if Chu Xiyue had two stomachs.

Chu Xiyue's eyes widened in surprise, and she asked in confusion, "What? You can't eat anymore so soon? What's the connection?" Then she muttered to herself, "Oh, I didn't expect Lin Ruoxue to be able to eat so much without gaining weight. I must take this opportunity to eat more delicious food!"

Thinking of how she had to strictly control her diet every day in order to look good on camera and dress nicely, and how she had missed out on so many delicious dishes in modern times, Chu Xiyue couldn't help but sigh: "Back in the modern era, work required me to not enjoy many delicious foods. Now that I have the chance to do it again, of course I can't miss it again!" After saying this, she took a bite of the candied haws and chewed it with satisfaction, not forgetting to praise: "Mm, it's really delicious, sour and sweet, and it helps digestion!"

At this moment, an idea flashed through Chu Xiyue's mind. She quickly picked up the candied haws in her hand and stuffed it directly into Xiao Yichen's mouth. She said with a bit of mischief and pride: "Come on, try it too. I guarantee you will have an endless aftertaste!"

Xiao Yichen was stunned at first, having completely unexpected Chu Xiyue's behavior, but soon a bright smile appeared on his face. He felt as if his heart was illuminated by the warm sunshine, and the candied haws in his mouth seemed especially sweet.

Chu Xiyue was enjoying the candied haws while gazing at the gifts overflowing in Xiao Yichen's hands. Her heart was filled with joy and satisfaction. She said softly, "Then let's go back."

"Okay." Xiao Yichen responded gently, his eyes full of doting for Chu Xiyue.

However, just as they were about to reach the carriage, several dark figures suddenly appeared from the side. These people were wrapped in black clothes, holding gleaming swords, and walked towards them quickly with ferocious expressions.

"Ah?" Chu Xiyue was startled by this sudden situation. She hid behind Xiao Yichen in panic, holding on to the corner of his clothes tightly.

Xiao Yichen quickly pulled Chu Xiyue behind him and protected her with his body. His eyes instantly became sharp and cold, and he looked at the group of uninvited guests in front of him with vigilance.

"Who are you? Do you know my identity? How dare you come here so boldly to assassinate me?" Xiao Yichen asked in a low voice, with majesty and domineering tone.

One of the killers sneered and replied, "The one I'm going to kill is you, Prince Jin." After that, he made a gesture, signaling the other killers to attack together.

In an instant, several assassins, brandishing swords, pounced on Xiao Yichen like hungry wolves. At the same time, the guards who had been hiding in the shadows immediately rushed out and quickly blocked Chu Xiyue's way, forming a solid line of defense.

In an instant, the scene fell into chaos, with flashes of knives and shadows of swords interlaced.
