The Princess of Northern Land

Lin Ziyin closed her eyes, as the carriage’s rocking motion lulled her like a cradle, quickly carrying her to the realms of dreams. Seeing this, Chu Suifeng’s expression softened. He pulled open the blanket next to him, tucking Lin Ziyin in soundly and securely.

"Miss, why do you torment yourself like this?" In the exquisite chamber of the Ling Wang Residence’s backyard, Miss Ming lay on the bed with tears streaming from her eyes after she heard the maid’s report. To prevent her from being discovered, she kept her face turned inward.

"You wouldn’t understand." She replied coldly. "Make sure no one finds out."

"Miss, don’t worry. They are all fawning upon me, they wouldn’t dare to spy on my movements." The maid explained hurriedly, "I never expected that the Prince would willingly accompany Lin Ziyin home. Although it’s only..."

"Quiet." Miss Ming was slightly annoyed, "Don’t forget that we are not entitled to call the Princess Consort by her name. If the prince finds out, I won’t be able to protect you, don’t make trouble for me."

"Understood, Miss." The maid looked aggrieved, but still obedient, "I’ll be careful and won’t bring any trouble to you."

"Qingting, you are like a sister to me. I don’t want anything bad to happen to you. Understand?" Miss Ming’s voice softened, "We have depended on each other for years, I don’t want to be alone from now."

"Miss, I understand." Qingting’s tears welled up, precisely because Miss was good to her, she was more willing to consider everything for Miss.

"Remember, you must treat the Princess Consort with respect when you meet her." Miss Ming advised once again, "Those who are protected by the Prince can never be disrespected by others."

Seeing Miss Ming’s desolation, Qingting despised the new Princess Consort, Lin Ziyin, even more.
