The next morning, Lin Yuxin slowly woke up and instinctively reached out to touch Li Xiaochen, only to find nothing.
Lin Yuxin was startled. She looked up and glanced around. There was no one in Li Xiaochen's spot. She reached out and touched the sheets, which were cold, indicating that Li Xiaochen had been up for a while.
Lin Yuxin frowned, sat up, put on her clothes, and went out.
As soon as the door opened, a beautiful woman stood there, but she was dressed in simple, practical clothes.
The sleeves were gathered at the waist, the skirt reached her waist, and her hair was simply tied back. She looked incredibly dashing. Lin Yuxin blinked, guessing who she was, and asked:
"You are... Lieyan?"
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
The woman bowed respectfully to Lin Yuxin.
Lin Yuxin looked Lie Yan up and down; indeed, he didn't live up to her name.
Judging from her appearance, Lie Yan is the kind of person who is bright and alluring, but her name is the name of a female bodybuilder. She must have broken a heavenly rule when choosing her name to get the wrong name.
"Hmm! You think differently from me."
Lin Yuxin looked at her and smiled.
"Your subordinate, Lie Yan! From now on, I will serve the Princess!"
Lie Yan showed no expression in response to Lin Yuxin's words, keeping his head down and speaking respectfully to her, indicating that he had a cold personality.
"Alright, alright, Lieyan is so beautiful. With her by my side, I'll be in for a treat! I'll be looking forward to working with you all from now on!"
Lin Yuxin could tell that Lie Yan wasn't a very outgoing person, but she didn't mind. Looking at Lie Yan, she secretly nodded to herself; having such a beautiful woman by her side every now and then was quite a treat for the eyes!
Blazing Flame: ...?
Is this new princess normal?
"Yes! Does Your Highness need me to help you with your washing up?"
Lie Yan composed himself, bowed, stood up, and asked respectfully.
"Okay, go get some water!"
Lin Yuxin nodded and went back to her room. Lie Yan went to the kitchen in the backyard to fetch water and returned shortly afterward.
However, Lin Yuxin didn't let her actually serve her. She quickly washed up and prepared to go out.
"By the way, where is Li Xiaochen?"
As soon as Lin Yuxin stepped out of the guest room, she remembered her husband, who had been nowhere to be seen since early morning, and asked Lie Yan, who was following behind her.
However, Lin Yuxin's name, Li Xiaochen, startled Lie Yan. Her heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't calm down for a long time!
The princess actually called the prince by his name?! She thought she'd misheard at first, but now that she heard it again, she was certain—the princess was indeed calling the prince by his name!
"Um?"
Lin Yuxin waited for a long time without getting a response, and looked at the stunned Lie Yan in confusion.
"Your Highness, the Prince has gone out on business. He told you to wake up and that if you want to go out for a stroll, just don't go too far."
Lie Yan suddenly realized what was happening and quickly answered.
Lieyan has a strong sense of status, and in her heart, the prince is an irreversible god. The princess addressing the prince by his given name so directly made Lieyan feel that the princess was disrespecting the prince. Her tone also became somewhat indifferent.
"Alright! Let's go see if Xiao Hao is awake yet?"
Lin Yuxin didn't notice the aloofness in Lie Yan's tone. When she heard where Li Xiaochen was going, she nodded to indicate that she understood, and then walked towards the next room.
Lie Yan glanced at Lin Yuxin's retreating figure, his eyes filled with confusion and doubt, but he didn't show it at all. Then he took a step and followed her.
When she arrived at the inn last night, she should have gone to find Wang Yu to learn about our new princess and inquire about her relationship with the prince.
This very morning, she was almost made to lose her dignity by the princess's words.
Lie Yan had already made up her mind. Once Wang Yu returned with the prince, she would go to Wang Yu to find out more about our princess consort, otherwise she was afraid he might do something unbecoming of his status next time.
Because in just a short while, she realized that our princess was not a proper princess, and had no princess demeanor at all, which left Lie Yan speechless for a moment.
Ever since she learned that her prince was going to marry a princess, she had assumed that he would marry a woman from a noble family, the kind of woman who was dignified, elegant, and well-mannered.
But when she met her today, she was completely different from what she had imagined. She didn't act like a princess at all, and she even addressed the prince by his name, which showed that she didn't respect him. Such a princess was not worthy of their prince.
Lie Yan decided to observe further. She had followed the prince for so many years, and the prince deserved better.
Lin Yuxin was unaware that she had already been judged repeatedly in Lie Yan's heart, and had failed miserably, facing the possibility of being replaced at any time.
She went next door and knocked on the door:
"Xiao Hao? Are you awake? Let's go get something to eat!"
Lin Yuxin knocked twice more, but no one answered. Now it was her turn to be puzzled. What happened? Had everyone all left her? There hadn't been a soul in sight so early in the morning?
Lin Yuxin glanced at Qiu Jingfan's door, thought about it, and decided against it. They weren't familiar with each other, and it wouldn't be right for her to knock on Qiu Jingfan's door. So she gave up, turned around, and went downstairs with Lie Yan.
When they went downstairs, the inn's main door was already closed. Although the lobby hadn't been cleaned and remained as it was, the other areas were spotless.
Lin Yuxin rubbed her stomach, feeling hungry. She turned and walked towards the backyard, wanting to go to the kitchen to see what Wang Yu and the others had bought yesterday so she could get something to eat!
"Where did the princess go?"
When Lie Yan saw Lin Yuxin heading towards the backyard, he frowned and asked a question.
"I'm a little hungry and want to go to the kitchen to see what we have to eat and make some breakfast."
