Compared to the Sixth Prince's Palace, the Fourth Prince's Palace is a bit more majestic and mysterious.
Xiaoxiao got off the carriage, opened her eyes curiously, and followed Duan Xiaoqi in.
At the door, an elegant guard in black came forward and said, "My lord, you are back."
"Yan San, prepare a side room."
"yes."
The black-clothed guard Yan San glanced at Xiaoxiao and stepped back.
There are not many servants and maids in the palace, and they are almost all guarded by guards in black.
"See your lord,"
Xiaoxiao was shocked by these people and felt like she had entered the headquarters of the underworld.
In front of these gangsters, Duan Xiaoqi showed his concern for her without hesitation, "Are you hungry?"
The tone of concern beyond coldness made these subordinates take a breath. Unexpectedly, do you think that their Prince Bingshan, who has never smiled, would actually become popular?
"Oh," Xiaoxiao nodded politely. From morning to now, she had not touched anything, and she had been tortured enough.
Duan Xiaoqi turned around and said, "Yan Si,"
Without him having to explain, Yan Si said cleverly, "I will order people to prepare now."
There was not much time, and a few delicious side dishes were put on the table. Different from the delicacies in the Sixth Prince's Mansion, these were top-quality game foods that Xiaoxiao had never heard of.
Xiaoxiao's eyes widened and she kept swallowing her saliva. Duan Xiaoqi sat next to him, looking like he was accompanying the meal. He personally handed over a pair of chopsticks, "Eat when you're hungry."
"Oh oh oh." Xiaoxiao was eager for him to say this, so she took the chopsticks and without any politeness, started to eat the most beautiful dishes. The guards in black next to them all looked at Xiaoxiao with disdain.
I don't understand how the prince could pick up a beggar and look at him like he hasn't eaten for three or four days.
Xiaoxiao doesn't care about other people's stomach rumblings, she can eat happily alone.
It wasn't until she burped with satisfaction that she put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth, and smiled gratefully at Duan Xiaoqi, "Thank you, Fourth Prince."
"No need to say thank you." Duan Xiaoqi raised his eyebrows casually, "The emperor's decree has been issued. From now on, you will be the fourth princess."
"What?!"
The person who made this exclamation was not Xiaoxiao, but the three guards standing on both sides.
Yan Wu, who has an impulsive personality, said in disbelief, "Your Majesty, you must be joking, right?" Oh my god, how could his cold and stylish prince marry this woman as his princess?
Yan Si also said unexpectedly, "My lord, do you really want to have a concubine?"
Yan San was the calmest. He frowned and asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, is this indeed the Emperor's will?"
Xiaoxiao looked at the three of them and raised her eyebrows dissatisfied, "What are you doing? Is there anything wrong with marrying me? It sounds like I am not worthy of your prince." Even though she said this, she was still suffering.
Facing Duan Xiaoqi, "Fourth Prince, I know you did this because you wanted to save me, but I don't have to be your princess."
Duan Xiaoqi ignored the three people and said to Xiaoxiao, "Do you think the emperor's edict is a joke?"
Xiaoxiao was shocked.
"But……"
"No but." Duan Xiaoqi waved his hand, unwilling to say more, stood up and walked out.
"Fourth Prince, wait a minute." Xiaoxiao immediately caught up, "I don't understand why the emperor issued such a decree? My parents are still in prison. As the daughter of a guilty minister, I have been spared from prison.
How can she become a princess if she has grace? There must be something wrong with this, this..."
Duan Xiaoqi stopped suddenly, and Xiaoxiao almost bumped into him.
He tightened his fists, his chest heaved violently, turned around suddenly, and grabbed her shoulders with both hands, "Want to know the reason? Okay, then I'll tell you!"
