Chapter 235: Talking and Busy
Kunning Palace
"My son, in this selection of concubines, Lin Yuxi is the winner and has been arranged to live in Chuxiu Palace. Your mother hopes that you can spend this month interacting with her and develop a relationship with her."
The queen sat on the phoenix couch and looked at the eldest prince with a loving expression.
The eldest prince frowned slightly, and the scar on his face looked even more hideous under the candlelight. "Mother, I'm afraid that the girl will be scared by my appearance." There was a hint of self-mockery in his tone.
The queen sighed softly, stood up and walked to the eldest prince, holding his hand, "My son, don't say that. Lin Yuxi is the most talented woman in Daxia, she must not be such a superficial person. Moreover, this is also for the inheritance of my Daxia country."
The eldest prince pursed his lips and said, "Mother, I know your painstaking efforts. But..."
“My son, your mother knows that you have some concerns in your heart. But Lin Yuxi must have her strengths to stand out among so many women. Put aside your prejudices and try to get along with her.” The queen patted the eldest prince’s hand with a firm look in her eyes.
The eldest prince was silent for a moment, and finally nodded, "I will follow your mother's instructions."
The queen showed a pleased smile on her face, "That's great. Go to Chuxiu Palace more often this month and let Lin Yuxi get to know you better."
"Yes, mother." The eldest prince replied, but his mind was filled with thousands of thoughts.
Coming out of the Queen's Palace, the eldest prince walked alone on the long palace road. The moonlight shone on his body, casting a long shadow.
He looked up at the bright moon in the sky, wondering in his heart: Can she accept his disfigured body? Will she be frightened?
……
Inside Kunning Palace, the queen sat on the couch with a frown on her face, rubbing her temple gently with one hand, her heart full of worry.
The eldest prince had just left. She looked at his departing figure and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"This child has such a twisted temper." The queen murmured to herself.
Then, she turned to look at the maid beside her and anxiously ordered, "Go quickly and find Madam Wu for me."
Soon, Nanny Wu came hurriedly, bowed and asked, "Madam, why are you looking for me so anxiously?"
The queen stood up, paced back and forth, and said solemnly, "Mammy, you know how twisted my eldest son's temper is. I have just told him to go to Chuxiu Palace more often in the next month to cultivate his relationship with Lin Yuxi, but I still feel uneasy in my heart."
As she spoke, the queen gently rubbed her temples, her face full of worry: "Now the empire has only these two princes, and the second one has been poisoned and has become stupid, so the burden of inheriting the country can only fall on the eldest one. But his disfigured face has always made him resist marriage. This time, he finally chose a concubine, and I am really worried that he will not cherish this opportunity."
Nanny Wu comforted her, "Don't worry too much, Madam. Maybe the eldest prince will figure it out."
The Queen shook her head and looked at Madam Wu firmly. "No, I can't just sit there and wait for death. Madam, you have to keep a close eye on them for a while and keep an eye on their movements. If there is any movement, you must tell me."
Nanny Wu nodded quickly: "Don't worry, Madam, I will do my best."
The queen nodded slightly, her eyes full of expectation: "I hope everything goes smoothly this month, so that Lin Yuxi can win the heart of the eldest brother and have many children for the royal family."
……
At this time, Lin Yuxi and her servant were talking in Chuxiu Palace. Lin Yuxi was still combing her hair leisurely, looking calm, but her personal maid Xiaocui was extremely anxious.
Although she knew that her young lady had a chance of winning, the little maid was still very worried when the moment really came.
Xiao Cui: "Miss, what should we do? Do you really want to marry the eldest prince? How are you going to live in the future with the state he is in now?"
Lin Yuxi gently put down the comb, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "Xiao Cui, don't say that. It's my honor to be chosen."
Xiao Cui stamped her feet anxiously: "Miss, please don't be confused! This is not an honor at all. The eldest prince has a disfigured face, and it is said that his temperament has become strange and irritable. You will suffer if you marry him!"
Lin Yuxi frowned slightly: "Xiao Cui, don't believe those rumors. You and I should know what the eldest prince's character was like in the past."
Xiao Cui grumbled, "But Miss, the eldest prince has been disfigured for three years. Who knows what he will look like now..."
Lin Yuxi interrupted her: "Okay, stop talking. I believe that a man who can put aside his dignity as a prince and fight for the empire will not be defeated by a small appearance problem! And as a woman, since you have been chosen, you should abide by your duties and not have any second thoughts."
Xiao Cui sighed: "Miss, you think too highly of people's hearts. This concerns your lifelong happiness."
Lin Yuxi took Xiao Cui's hand and said softly, "Xiao Cui, I have made up my mind. Besides, this is the royal decree, how can we disobey it? No matter what the future holds, I am willing to face it."
Xiao Cui had tears in her eyes: "Miss, you must take care of yourself. I hope the eldest prince can understand your kindness."
Lin Yuxi smiled lightly: "Don't worry, everything will be fine."
