After Becoming a Substitute Bride to the Cold Crown Prince

[Cool, abstinent Central Plains crown prince X Lively, wilful grassland princess]

Ever since Lu Nianxiao was adopted by the Chanyu and his wife, she'd heard about her cousin, Xiao Yuqi, many times.

He was the only legitimate son of her adoptive mother's elder brother, the undisputed heir to the Great Zhou throne. Not only was he breathtakingly handsome and skilled in both letters and arms, but his character was also noble. He was a true gentleman.

Even so, when she learned she was to take her elder sister's place and become Xiao Yuqi's crown princess, Lu Nianxiao was full of doubts.

Her adoptive mother held her gently and promised with confidence:

“Just go and see him. You don't have to marry him. If you don't like him, I'll come get you anytime.”

Lu Nianxiao wanted to go back to the grasslands on her very first day there.

In the Eastern Palace's restricted study, she got bored and fell fast asleep.

When she woke, someone was carrying her out in his arms. Xiao Yuqi had a broad, striking chest, but his voice was cold.

“Does a dignified princess of Mobei not know that the study isn't a place to sleep?”

Lu Nianxiao's little face flushed red. She struggled free and jumped down.

“A gentleman who's as venomous as a snake! No wonder my elder sister didn't want you!”

On the third day of living with Xiao Yuqi:

“Go boating? What's there to look at on an empty lake? What if I fall in?”

“I am good at swimming.”

On the twentieth day of living with Xiao Yuqi:

“Impossible! I could hit a target at a hundred paces on the grasslands. How could I lose to you in horsemanship and archery?”

“Your skills are lacking, Princess.”

In the third month of living with Xiao Yuqi:

“At tonight's palace banquet, I'll be invincible,” Lu Nianxiao said, wearing a red dress and riding boots, her hair full of braids and flowers, grinding her teeth in anger. “That hypocrite from the Central Plains had better get ready to admit defeat!”

But someone sabotaged them, and one night later, she and the hypocrite had both lost their chastity.

“The people of the grasslands are all very open about these things. It's not unusual,” Lu Nianxiao said dismissively to Xiao Yuqi, whose handsome face was dark with anger.

“Later, you'll have your three palaces and six courtyards, and I'll have my brave warriors. We won't even remember each other!”

Xiao Yuqi had been born to rule a nation. He'd been careful and self-disciplined since childhood, with restraint and propriety etched into his bones.

Who would have thought a wilful princess from the grasslands would turn his orderly life upside down?

He could put up with her for now. She'd be heading back to the grasslands sooner or later.

The day her aunt came to take her away, a carriage and fine horses waited at the Eastern Palace gate.

The girl in red strode off with carefree confidence. Then a gust of wind swept up behind her, and Xiao Yuqi, who had always held himself to the rules, pulled her into his arms.

His kiss came down almost ferociously.

“Carrying my child, Princess, where do you think you're going?”
