But the unfamiliarity and estrangement in her eyes stung Yan Ze deeply, leaving him somewhat dazed.

Perhaps it was because I was in a dream that my deeply hidden emotions suddenly erupted without my noticing.

Suppressed joy, infatuation, confusion, and sorrow all welled up in his eyes.

He wanted to question Luo Jiu about why she left without even a confession, but faced with those pure and innocent eyes, he couldn't voice any of his doubts.

"Your Highness?"

When Yunshan saw Yan Ze, an inexplicable sense of closeness welled up in her heart, something she couldn't explain.

Yan Ze sighed inwardly, walked over, and gently removed her hair ornament.

"You must be exhausted."

The Crown Princess's ceremonial robes were naturally the most exquisite. The phoenix crown she wore was entirely made of gold; it was heavy even to hold, let alone for her own delicate little rabbit, who had been wearing it all day…

The Crown Prince's sudden tenderness left Yunshan struggling to adjust. She had agreed to marry him for the sake of her entire family of dozens of people, having already considered the worst possible outcome…

However, the prince didn't seem to be as she had imagined... on the contrary, he was incredibly gentle.

The man placed his hand on Luo Jiu's face, his eyes like the ocean, calm and gentle, yet sparkling with starlight.

"Shan'er, it's late, go to sleep."

Yunshan was captivated by the man's gentle, tender gaze, as if she were being held in someone's heart, which made her instantly let down all her guard.

The night is deep, the red candles are warm in the tent, it's a beautiful spring night.
