C15 Residence in the Crown Prince's Palace

In the dim light, someone had beaten her up and held her horizontally. She subconsciously wrapped her arms around that person's neck.

Nan Mingcheng carried Jing Xiaotong back to her room and put her on the bed. After covering her with the blanket, he sat beside her and stared at her sleeping face for a long time. Soon, they parted.

"… …"

The two maidservants came in and changed into the red princess dress that Jing Xiaotong always wore. At her insistence, Lyu Xiu gave her a simple princess bun with only one golden foot on her head and a bit of makeup on her face.

Jing Xiaotongmeng put on her veil and went down to the carriage with the help of a servant girl. Nan Mingcheng had changed into a purple robe and was riding a big white horse.

In the wedding procession, Lyu Xiu stood beside a luxurious and exquisite carriage. Jing Xiaotong boarded the carriage and they headed for the main entrance of the Imperial City.

This fellow's taste was quite good. His mount even matched the color of his clothes. Jing Xiaotong looked at him through the curtain and smiled. She saw that he had turned around to give her another warm smile.

When they were almost there, Nan Mingcheng led the eight guards and led them to Jing Xiaotong's carriage.

This carriage was clearly not the same one Jing Xiaotong had been riding on. It was much more luxurious than the previous one. The curtain was thick gauze, and one could vaguely see the outside.

At the city gate, a tall man, dressed in the service of a prince, was riding on a horse, followed by a dozen guards. That should be Yun Zihao, right?

Nan Mingcheng rode his horse forward. After exchanging greetings with Yun Zihao for a short while, he rode his horse toward the Crown Prince's Palace in the city.

Aside from the guards of Dunhuang Country, who were left outside the city, Jing Xiaotong and the little girl she married were all invited to the crown prince's mansion.

Jing Xiaotong, Lyu Xiu and the rest were brought by servants to a courtyard called Lantern Garden within the crown prince's residence. The courtyard was very large and beautiful, and she couldn't help but sigh at the extravagance of the ancient royalty.

What she liked the most was the bed with the brocade quilt. After sleeping in the cave for so long, the warm bed was what she wanted the most.

Jing Xiaotong sat quietly in front of her dressing table as she looked at herself in the mirror. The strange world, the strange environment, the unfamiliar people, even she was a stranger.

"Servant Chunzhi, Xianyun, Shuangshuang greets Crown Princess."

Four handsome-looking maidservants walked in respectfully and knelt on the ground to salute Jing Xiaotong. Behind them was a group of maidservants kneeling. The introductions sounded as if they had been rehearsed and were extremely neat and orderly.

"No need for formalities." Jing Xiaotong said softly.

"The four of us are maids that His Highness the Crown Prince has arranged for us to serve as his servants. If there's anything that the Crown Prince wishes us to do, just tell us. We will definitely serve the master to the fullest extent of our abilities." One of the maidservants said respectfully.

"Spring Shoots."

"Your servant is here."

"Xiu Yun."

"Your servant is here."

"Like a pair."

"Your servant is here."

"Autumn Painting."

"Your servant is here."

The girls responded one by one, sighing inwardly that their new master had a good memory!

"Xiu Yun, you will be called Xia Yun from now on. Ru Shuang, you shall be called Dong Ru from now on. " Jing Xiaotong said lazily while holding her head.

Xiu Yun and Ru Shuang paused for a moment before they kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Crown Princess."

"All of you can go down, and do what you need to do. I want to sleep." As Jing Xiaotong spoke, she stood up and walked towards the bed. Seeing the silk brocade, she wanted to throw herself into their intimate contact.

"Wait, where's the crown prince?" Jing Xiaotong slightly turned around and asked. She wondered if she should take a look at what it looked like.

"His Highness the Crown Prince is entertaining the Crown Prince at the front hall. The Crown Prince ordered me to send word that if Crown Princess is tired, she should rest first. I will ask Crown Princess to come over for dinner later." Chunzhi said.

"Alright, you can leave. If I don't wake up, no one is allowed to disturb my sleep." Jing Xiaotong said as she walked towards the bed. She wanted to catch up on her sleep, but the moment she mentioned sleeping, she had already started yawning.

Since coming to this world, she had not slept a single time, let alone seeing a bed. If she did not see a bed now, she would have almost forgotten what a bed looked like. Looking at the big bed in the inner chamber, her first thought was to quickly get a good night's sleep.

Lyu Xiu untied her hair, took off her coat, and lay down on the bed. Soon, she fell into a deep sleep. She actually slept all the way to the third day. Because of her orders, none of the maids dared to disturb her.

It was exactly the same posture as when she was asleep. Lyu Xiu wanted to wake Jing Xiaotong up, but she knew that Jing Xiaotong didn't trust her, and she also didn't dare to be rude to her. She was afraid of Jing Xiaotong, but was even more afraid of Nan Mingcheng.

Lyu Xiu stood inside the room, anxious like an ant on a hot pan. Her master hadn't married the crown prince of Yun Country yet, and she couldn't afford to wait until she fell asleep. The only thing she could do now was to find someone to make the decision.

Nan Mingcheng was no longer in the Crown Prince's Palace, so she had no choice but to find Crown Prince Yun. If Jing Xiaotong really fell asleep, she could only report her guilt as soon as possible. Thinking of this, she ran out of the room and called Chunzhi to take her to Crown Prince Yun.

In the study room, Yun Zihao was sitting in front of a desk and reading a book. He did not react when Lyu Xiu entered the room, as if she was just air.

"Servant Lyu Xiu greets the Crown Prince." Lyu Xiu lowered her head and entered the study uneasily, kneeling on the floor.

"If I remember correctly, you're Nan Xuanji's personal maid. Why wouldn't Nan Xuanji be able to take care of you? Do you even need to come here?"

Yun Zihao was obviously very dissatisfied with Lyu Xiu's arrival. What's with the princess' personal girl, it was naturally to find his mistress, so how could she come directly to the crown prince? If it was Nan Xuanji who came looking for him, then he would be even more unhappy.

"Your Highness, this servant knows that it is impolite of me to presume to come before you like this, but something happened to our Princess."

Lyu Xiu naturally knew Yun Zihao's anger, but it was a matter of priority. She had no choice but to do this. If her master were to continue sleeping like this, Lyu Xiu's life would not be taken if anything happened to him.

"What is it?" Yun Zihao heard from Lyu Xiu that something had happened to the princess, so he raised his head to look at Lyu Xiu and asked. It was not a small matter for the princess to have an accident right after she and Yun Zihao entered the Crown Prince's residence.

"Crown Prince, I must trouble you to send someone to take a look at our princess. The princess has been sleeping since she entered the crown prince's mansion the day before yesterday. Until today, she hasn't woken up, so this servant is afraid something might happen to her." Lyu Xiu lowered her head and said anxiously.

"Bring me to take a look."

Only then did Yun Zihao get up and walk out of the study room towards the Lantern Garden. His expression didn't change at all and as he was familiar with the road, Lyu Xiu naturally followed behind, trembling in fear.

This wasn't the first time he saw her, so he wasn't surprised at all. He put his hand on her nose to feel her breath and then placed his hand on her wrist to feel her pulse. Martial artists naturally knew about pulse patterns.

"She just fell asleep." Yun Zihao said lightly, then turned around and walked out quickly.

Seeing Jing Xiaotong's tightly closed lips, he actually had the urge to kiss her. When his hand touched her nose, he unnaturally wanted to touch her red lips. This kind of uncontrollable feeling made him a little helpless, so he quickly escaped from her room.
