Cameron's Royal Binding Chapter 9

"I thought I came early, but I didn't expect that the Fourth Prince was one step ahead of me." The Third Prince Xiao Chengduo said with a smile when he saw the Fourth Prince still holding the big red envelope. The first word of every sentence he said was raised in a high tone, perhaps not intentionally, but it sounded a bit unfriendly.

The fourth prince stuffed the red envelope into his sleeve and saluted the third prince, but he did not show the same silly smile as before, nor did he say much.

Xiao Chengduo didn't care about his brother's usual dullness, and turned to look at the prince who was sitting in the main seat, "Greetings, Prince brother. This is the new sister-in-law, right?" As he said this, he looked up and carefully examined Cameron Lou who was standing next to Elliot Xiao, and the smile on his face paused.

Cameron Lou usually liked to wear plain clothes, but during the wedding, he wanted to look festive, so he wore a bright royal blue robe with wide sleeves. A silver ribbon hung around his waist, and he wore a hollow silver crown inlaid with sapphires on his head. Apart from that, he had no other ornaments. This simple dress highlighted his beautiful face.

"I have heard that the prince of Anguo is a famous beauty in Kyoto. The rumors are true." The third prince looked again and again, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. With his raised tone, the frivolous meaning of the words became more and more obvious.

Elliot Xiao's face darkened immediately, and when he was about to start scolding, the Crown Princess beside him spoke first.

"No, no, it's just those individuals who misrepresented it in order to curry favor," Cameron Lou curled her lips, "But when I was in the northwest, I heard people praise him, saying that His Highness the Third Prince has a good reputation." The implication is that I have a good reputation. Being handsome is just a rumor among people in the capital, but your third prince's reputation has spread far and wide to the northwest.

"Haha, that's right. When the Tartar king came to pay tribute, he thought the third prince was a princess and almost wanted to marry him off." The fourth prince was immediately amused when he heard this and loudly confirmed his sister-in-law's words.

Xiao Chengduo had the same slanted eyes as Concubine Chen. Such a pair of eyes would look charming on a woman's face, but feminine on a man's face.

The Crown Prince's downward-curved mouth corners slowly straightened, and finally couldn't help but slightly raise them. His Crown Princess really didn't suffer any loss at all.

"Sister-in-law, you are too kind." The Third Prince said embarrassedly, glanced at the Fourth Prince who was laughing beside him, and gritted his teeth secretly. A dog cannot spit out ivory. Such a good sentence changed its meaning after Xiao Chengzheng said it.

The Xiao family was not prosperous in this generation. The previous emperor, Emperor Ruizong, had few children and lived a long life. Several of his sons died. When Emperor Ruizong passed away, only Emperor Chunde and a weak prince were left. The prince died a few years ago. Even so, the East Palace was still very lively this afternoon.

The eldest princess, the prince who inherited the title, the empress dowager's mother's family, and all the prominent royal relatives came. Cameron Lou knew all the nobles in the capital, and many of them were acquaintances, so it was effortless to deal with them. But without the anesthetic, his legs began to hurt after standing for a long time. After seeing off all the people, it was time to pay respects to the queen.

Elliot Xiao pulled the Crown Princess to sit on the sedan chair. Seeing his pale face, he couldn't help but ask, "Are you tired?"

Cameron Lou shook his head. With his physique, he could chase the enemy for 800 miles without any problem. "My legs just hurt a little."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince frowned, why did Duke An Guo marry his son into the palace even if he turned against him? The Lou family is an aristocratic family. Even if no one marries into the palace, Cameron Lou's ability can still keep the favor alive. While he was thinking, a big head slowly leaned on his shoulder.

"It hurts to sit down. Let me lean on you for a while." Cameron Lou said as a matter of course and leaned his body against the other person.

Elliot Xiao looked around. There was no one on the palace road, and the chariots in the palace were carried by people. The guards could not see what they were doing above their heads, so they left him alone. The warm body has a very light cold fragrance, like the scent of grass and trees in the morning, and it smells very pleasant.

Fengyi Palace was still somewhat deserted. Although there were all the palace servants present, they all went about their own business and few of them talked to each other.

"Are you two tired from this day-to-day torment?" Queen Ji Zhuo asked, looking at the couple sitting side by side on the soft couch.

"My father must have worked harder than us in handling many wedding matters." Cameron Lou replied with a smile, looking very well-behaved.

A faint smile appeared on Queen Ji's cold and handsome face, "You have been a sensible child since you were a child. The prince is not good at talking, so you should be more considerate of him."

"I will serve Your Highness well." Cameron Lou answered fluently without changing his expression, as if he were really a virtuous and gentle young wife.

His Highness the Crown Prince couldn't help but glance at him.

"I don't have much to do in this palace. Come and visit me when you are free," Ji Zhuo said, with a little smile in his eagle eyes. "You have been practicing martial arts with the old Duke Anguo since you were a child. What kind of weapons have you learned?"

Cameron Lou was about to answer when Elliot Xiao, who was beside him, suddenly nudged him with his elbow and swallowed the words that were on his lips.

"Father," Elliot Xiao said, "the Crown Princess has been feeling a little unwell these past few days. When he gets better, it won't be too late to discuss with the father again."

Cameron Lou raised his eyebrows. The Queen asked him what weapon he learned, but she didn't say that she wanted to compete with him in martial arts right away. The Prince said this to remind the Queen that he had been feeling unwell recently.

"Hahaha," the queen couldn't help laughing as she looked at the nervous prince, "I was just about to exempt him from the morning appointment, but you couldn't help it first." After she finished speaking, she glanced at Cameron Lou, whose face was a little pale. Even though they had made their sitting position soft, he still seemed uncomfortable.

Calm reading at dawn and dusk is an indispensable rule among nobles, and the royal family pays even more attention to these. It's just that in the first few days of the wedding, if the mother-in-law is charitable, the new daughter-in-law can be spared the morning appointment.

"Thank you, Father." Of course Cameron Lou was willing to get up early in the morning, so she got up and thanked her.

"Although you have been exempted from attending the imperial court for the past few days, you must not be too lazy," the queen slowly put away her smile and warned the prince, "Besides, you are young, so don't be too greedy and indulge in pleasure, otherwise it will damage your foundation."

"...Yes, I understand." Elliot Xiao stood up and responded respectfully.

Cameron Lou almost choked on her saliva. Sure enough, her aunt, husband, and daughter-in-law were all men, so this warning was more than a bit straightforward. I quietly took a look at His Royal Highness and found that he was still as calm as a mountain, but the base of his fair ears slowly turned pink.

On the way back, Cameron Lou lay on the prince's shoulder and couldn't help but sneak a peek at the ear. He felt like he seemed to have discovered an incredible secret.

"If my father asks you to compete with him in martial arts, don't show off." Elliot Xiao didn't notice the Crown Princess peeking, and seriously explained what the palace should pay attention to.

"Well," Cameron Lou responded. Today, he originally wanted to ask the queen why she wanted the prince to marry him, but it was not good to ask it so abruptly. When she feels better, she can make some excuses during the discussion, "By the way, Why are there not many maids in Fengyi Palace? "There should be more maids than eunuchs in the harem, but he only saw two maids in total in Fengyi Palace.

"My father is a man, so I naturally have to avoid suspicion." After saying this, Elliot Xiao remembered the unfinished topic at noon, "Have the two dowry maids around you been serving you since childhood?"

Sera and Ying Qiu? Cameron Lou turned his head to look at the face of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Was he reminding him to avoid suspicion? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was really tactful, "No, they were originally my mother's maids. After my mother passed away, they came to serve me."

It turned out to be his mother's maids. Elliot Xiao felt relieved for some reason. His mother's maids could not be used as concubines. Those two maids must have no ambiguity with Cameron Lou. "There are many people in the palace. If you have something to do in the future, try to let the eunuchs do it."

"I was negligent." Cameron Lou couldn't help but chuckle. He was obedient and listened to the sound. Even though he was talking about this, he still couldn't understand the meaning of Elliot Xiao's words. How could he imagine that at noon, this His Highness was Are you angry because Sera looked at his injuries?

Elliot Xiao glanced at him and happened to see him snickering, and couldn't help but grimace.

"Your Highness, please don't be angry." Seeing that he was unhappy, Cameron Lou hurriedly sat up and said seriously, "I haven't seen a woman since I went to the northwest when I was eleven years old. Later, the period of filial piety followed the period of filial piety. Heaven and earth can learn from this, concubine I am innocent!"

After the Crown Princess finished speaking, the chariot beneath her body trembled slightly.

"You..." Elliot Xiao looked at him blankly, and finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Elliot Xiao was already very good-looking, but when he smiled, it was like the breeze passing through the clouds, revealing the original bright moonlight, which was dazzling. Cameron Lou saw this and forgot to speak. She thought that she should make him smile more in the future.

After returning to the East Palace, Elliot Xiao followed him back to the Eight Phoenix Palace. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had his own bedroom, the Chongren Palace, but for the first half month of his marriage, he should have stayed in the Crown Princess' bedroom.

"Your Highness, Lord Cai has an urgent matter to report." As soon as the sedan chair landed, Anshun walked up quickly and said.

Elliot Xiao frowned and said to Cameron Lou, "Go and rest first."

Cameron Lou nodded, got up and went back to the dormitory. She got up on the chariot again and carried the prince directly to Chongwen Hall.

"Your Highness!" When Cai Yi saw Elliot Xiao, he hurriedly went to greet him, "The Imperial Censor Geng Zhuo has been imprisoned!"

"What?" Elliot Xiao was shocked. The censor who was pushed out by the civil servants to ask for directions, and the official who was never allowed to be killed, was thrown into prison?
