Chapter 93

Xiao Lingfeng explained, "I don't want to get close to her either, but as you saw earlier, His Highness the Crown Prince personally brought her here and instructed me to take good care of her. If we offend her and she goes back to the Crown Prince to complain, what will we do? No matter what we think, we at least need to put on a good show and not let the Crown Prince have any grievances against us."

In fact, Xiao Lingfeng was quite regretful.

He had agreed to send Xiao Xixi to the palace for the selection only to get rid of this troublemaker as soon as possible, to prevent her from causing harm to the family. He never thought she would be chosen.

But not only did she become the Crown Prince's concubine, she is now highly favored by him.

If she didn't have that terrifying destiny, if she were just an ordinary girl, Xiao Lingfeng could use her to get closer to the Crown Prince.

Unfortunately, she is a celestial killer star.

Even though she is highly favored, Xiao Lingfeng dares not get too close to her and can only reluctantly give up this excellent opportunity.

Xue Shi didn't understand the matters of the court. She only knew that since this involved the Crown Prince, she had to listen to her husband.

So she didn't argue further and said with a frown, "Then I'll have someone bring her some food."

"Go quickly."

Not long after, the maids carried food boxes into Nuanxiang Pavilion.

They set the food on the table and quickly retreated, not daring to get close to Xiao Xixi.

With no one around to watch her, Xiao Xixi felt free and easy.

After she had her fill, the maids quickly came in to clear the table and ran off like the wind.

The way they fled made it seem as if they were afraid of being entangled by Xiao Xixi, the celestial killer star.

Xiao Xixi slept the whole afternoon, feeling thoroughly refreshed.

In the evening, the maids brought her food again.

After eating, she went back to sleep.

This life of eating and sleeping, and then sleeping and eating again, was exactly what every salted fish dreamed of!

Xiao Xixi deeply felt the joy of not thinking about returning home.

So when she left the General's Mansion the next morning, she was quite reluctant.

Xiao Lingfeng saw her off to the carriage and personally escorted her to Mingde Gate.

Xiao Xixi sat in the carriage, opened the black bundle, and took out a set of eunuch clothes.

She put on the clothes and adjusted the belt, but unfortunately, there was no mirror, so she couldn't see what she looked like in the eunuch clothes.

The carriage stopped near Mingde Gate.

Not long after, the entourage escorting the Crown Prince came from afar, a grand procession.

This time, the Crown Prince's trip was guarded by Zhao Xian, the commander of the Yulin Army, who brought two thousand Yulin Army guards.

Additionally, there were about a hundred people, including the young prince Nie Changping, the Crown Prince's tutors, doctors, chefs, drivers, and palace maids and eunuchs, along with luggage and supplies, making a total of 120 carriages.

Zhuque Street had already been cleared, with no bystanders on either side. Therefore, General Xiao Lingfeng and his carriage stood out even more.

Zhao Xian saw him from a distance.

When the entourage reached Mingde Gate, it stopped.

The soldiers guarding the gate all knelt down to pay their respects to His Highness the Crown Prince.

Xiao Lingfeng also dismounted and knelt to pay his respects.

The driver of Xiao Xixi's carriage was originally a guard from the Yulin Army. He had already received instructions from the Crown Prince and now silently drove the carriage into the Crown Prince's entourage.

The city gates opened, and the Yulin Army escorted the Crown Prince out of Shengjing, heading south in a grand procession.
