The Princess of Northern Land

Chu Suifeng happily watched Lin Ziyin and Mr. Bai Xian exchange greetings, particularly observing Bai Xian’s respectfully treating Ziyin, which brought an even broader smile to his face. "Enter the residence," he said. "Yes, Your Highness," Bai Xian stepped aside to make way.

The gate guards all snuck glances at Lin Ziyin. Seeing Chu Suifeng reach out to hold Ziyin’s hand, they all widened their eyes in surprise.

Congyi, Conger, and the others proudly watched the guards, then followed Chu Suifeng and Lin Ziyin into the residence with their heads held high and chests out.

"From now on, seeing her is as if seeing me. She may freely come and go from the Wang Residence, without anyone needing to report it," Chu Suifeng, who had just walked a few steps with Lin Ziyin, suddenly stopped, speaking solemnly as he looked outside the main gate.

The crowd was taken aback, but quickly understood his meaning. They were well-trained guards who naturally understood the Prince’s instructions, "Yes, Your Highness," they replied.

After giving his instructions, Chu Suifeng continued leading Lin Ziyin by hand into the Wang Residence.

The Wang Residence was not as luxurious as Lin Ziyin had expected. There were very few plants in the courtyard, but it was well-appointed with pavilions and terraces galore, making each courtyard appear particularly spacious.

"This is the courtyard prepared for you." After passing through several gates and walking along the corridors, Chu Suifeng finally led her to stop at the entrance of a courtyard.

"This humble one pays respects to Your Highness." The gate was guarded by two women who appeared to be in their forties, dressed in servant attire. When they saw Chu Suifeng approach, they promptly and respectfully greeted him.

"You two are to take good care of the young lady. If she suffers even the slightest discomfort, I will make no allowances," Chu Suifeng said sternly, not allowing them to rise yet.
