Arranged marriage IV

Everyone was all left in shock and their mouths were still widely opened.

‘Such beauty!!! Just like a beauty fairy’. The maidservants, including the eunuchs, all admire Xi Xhen at the same time. Though they didn't get her weird sleeping posture.

‘What's wrong with her?’. They thought.

Zhen Zhen just smiled awkwardly as she then entered inside the carriage and began to tap her young Mistress to wake up. After some seconds, Xi Xhen finally opened her eyes, while using her palms to rub her face.

Xi Xhen suddenly halted when she saw that everyone was staring at her with their mouths left open. But anyway, she didn't care about it.

‘I can do whatever I want, hmph!’. Xi Xhen thought to herself as she stood up and jumped out of the carriage. After coming down from the carriage, Xi Xhen still didn't care about how everyone was staring at her like she was a ghost.

Xi Xhen overheard them whispering among themselves, "Who wears such clothes to their wedding? And a guy's attire at that?". They continued murmuring in a low tone that Xi Xhen could definitely hear.

"I do. I'm comfortable with the clothes I'm wearing, do you people have any problem with that?". Xi Xhen's reply caused them all to stop the murmuring.

Instead, they just stared at Xi Xhen quietly, as if they were lost.

"Ahem…. Am I supposed to keep on standing here and watching you all?". Xi Xhen suddenly asked, thus breaking the silent atmosphere.

"Of course not, Your Highness". An elderly lady spoke out. She was the head maid of the Crown Prince's mansion.

‘Hmm…. Your Highness? Now I have the title of your highness? Like I ever asked for any of this’. Xi Xhen pouted her lips as she thought. Soon she frowned, because she didn't like her new title at all.

Anyway, the servants of the imperial palace all left after seeing that the servants of the crown prince's mansion had already taken over Xi Xhen.

The elderly lady led Xi Xhen into the Crown Prince’s Mansion. The wooden gates in Xi Xhen's presence were so large that she left her mouth wide open in "Awe".

After entering the mansion through the second gate, Xi Xhen saw her new surroundings, and she liked it! First, it was so HUGE! Compared to her father's own mansion, Xi Xhen was certain that the crown prince’s mansion was 10 times bigger.

‘Maybe the crown prince or whatever, is the Emperor's favorite son’. Xi Xhen thought. Her eyes were still scanning the surroundings of the crown prince’s mansion. It was so beautiful, with the beautiful blooming flowers that decorated most corners of the mansion.

To Xi Xhen, the Crown Prince’s Manor is really spacious and can be compared to the Emperor's Palace, or maybe, the same size.

After walking and roaming around the large mansion, the head maid finally stopped walking and turned to face Xi Xhen.

"This is where you'll be staying, your Highness…. I shall take my leave now!!!". The elderly head maid announced. She bowed her head respectfully at Xi Xhen and immediately ran away.

"Huh…. What the heck is wrong with that elderly maidservant?". Xi Xhen muttered before she stared at the large doors in front of her and furrowed her eyebrows. In no time, she approached the two large doors and then opened them.

After entering the place she'd be living from now on, Xi Xhen couldn't believe it at all.

"Does he think I'm some kind of animal or what?! WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS KEEPING ME TO STAY IN SUCH A RUINED PLACE LIKE THIS!!!?”. Xi Xhen yelled in annoyance as she watched the manor she was to stay in. To her, it was as if the manor had been abandoned for ages.

Zhen Zhen was staring at her angry young Mistress quietly, and after a few seconds, she felt goosebumps all over her body because the manor was giving off a fearful aura. The manor looked as if it was haunted.

After letting out all her frustrations, a slight smirk appeared on Xi Xhen's lips. "Seeing how the crown prince left me to stay in a place like this, I am now certain that he will never bother me in the future…. I'M FREE!!!". Xi Xhen said excitedly and jumped up in happiness afterward.
