Five days later, the four kings left the Imperial City, but they left all the youngest sons they brought with them.
It was the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, and the cold wind was biting. Xia Nian stood by the pond in the imperial garden with a thick cloak wrapped around her. The scene of the withered lotuses was unusually desolate.
"Princess, why are you standing here and enjoying the winter scenery?”
"Your Highness, your joke is not funny at all. What are you doing in this desolate imperial garden?”
"This prince was just passing by and saw the princess standing here, so I came over to take a look.”
Looking at the beautiful boy in front of her, Xia Nian felt like she was being outdone. How could he be so good-looking? His eyebrows were straight, his eyes were bright, his nose was tall, his lips were pursed tightly, and his skin was fair. All of them were stunning. This was Chu Jun, the prince of Chu Country.
"Xia Nian is fine. I won't delay His Highness's time.”
"Princess 'hometown is in the south, so I'm afraid you will feel that the early winter in the Imperial City is very cold. It would get colder after a while. The princess should not stand outside in the cold wind often, lest she catch a cold.”
His words were full of concern, but Xia Nian still caught the urge in Chu Jun's eyes. He was sincere.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness.”
"I still have something to do, so I'll be leaving first.”
The moment he turned around, Chu Jun saw Xia Nian stretch out a foot to trip him. He could not dodge in time and fell into the pond. The bone-piercing cold instantly soaked every corner of his body.
"Ya! How could His Highness be so careless! Wait!" Xia Nian's eyes were smiling, but her face was anxious." Someone come quickly! Help! His Royal Highness fell into the water!"
Chu Jun was both angry and amused. He could not do anything to her. He endured the bone-piercing cold and swam towards the shore. "Alright! Stop shouting!"
"You! How did you get up here?"
"I swam up."
Xia Nian's lips twitched and she was speechless.
"Give me your cloak." Chu Jun did not stand on ceremony and started to undo Xia Nian's cloak.
"What are you doing!" Xia Nian reached out to block him. Did he not know that men and women should not touch each other?
Chu Jun shivered and said," Are you going to freeze me to death? Or will the princess be unhappy if I don't get sick?"”
"Uh, you can take it." If Chu Jun was sick, Xia Nian knew that she would not be able to accept it. After all, she was the one who tripped him and caused him to fall into the water. The water must be very cold now. "Prince, you should go back quickly. Let this servant make you a bowl of hot ginger soup to ward off the cold.”
"I have to thank the princess for remembering me."
Not long after returning, Chu Jun had a high fever. The emperor sent a servant over to ask. He said that he had accidentally fallen into the water.
When Xia Nian received the news, she felt guilty and uneasy. She asked Hua 'er to prepare a good ginseng and decided to visit him personally. "Hua 'er, come with me to see Chu Jun.”
"Your Highness, it's not appropriate for you to go over now.”
"I understand, but I was the one who caused him to fall into the water. If I don't go and see him, I won't be able to eat.”
Hua 'er wanted to persuade him again, but Xiao Chengzi quickly stopped her." Master, Xiao Chengzi will accompany you."”
"Alright, let's go."
The place where Chu Jun lived was quite lively with people coming and going. It seemed that the emperor of West Asia was quite anxious about his illness. It seemed that the West Asian Emperor wanted them to be safe in the Imperial City, afraid that something would happen to them and anger a certain king.
"Xiao Chengzi, go and report."
Xiao Chengzi whispered a few words to the young eunuch guarding the door and returned to Xia Nian's side." Master, please wait a moment. He went to pass on the message."”
"Princess, our prince is inviting you in.”
