In this imperial capital where every inch of land is valuable, owning a garden like this is not enough to describe it as "luxurious".

It's so rich that no one can believe it.

Shen Yizhi looked at Gu Xueting. This man was born lying in a mine.

He led her all the way inside, as if he was taking her somewhere.

She didn't ask and just followed him.

Finally, he stopped in front of a small building named "Qingsheng".

Qingsheng Tower is located on a gentle slope. The surrounding area is very open, with thick and soft grass stretching out. A clear stream meanders down the slope, and fish jump out of the water from time to time.

The sound of water gurgling and birds singing was exactly what she had imagined the fairy tale cottage to look like! Shen Yizhi let go of Gu Xueting's hand, took off his shoes, and ran briskly into the stream, playing like a child.

In the sunshine, her smile was as clear and sparkling as a stream. Gu Xueting once again clearly determined that this was the woman with whom he would spend the rest of his life.

Shen Yizhi was stepping on the water. Seeing Gu Xueting still standing there, he splashed water on him: "Why are you standing there like an idiot? Take out the photo stone and take a picture of me in such a beautiful way."

Gu Xueting woke up as if from a dream and hurriedly did as she said.

"Come here." Shen Yizhi hooked his finger at him.

Gu Xueting caught the smirk that flashed across her eyes, but still walked past her as if he knew nothing.

"Ah!" Her feet suddenly slipped, and Gu Xueting quickly rushed over and hugged her, preventing her from falling into the water.

But she pushed him into the water with her backhand, ran to the side, put her hands on her hips and laughed, like a child who had succeeded in a prank.

The water in the stream was not deep at all. Even when he was sitting, it was only above his waist.

Gu Xueting wiped his face, stood up from the water, and strode towards her.

Shen Yizhi ran away screaming and laughing, but was eventually caught by him.

He trapped her between his chest and the stream rocks, and bit her lips as punishment, "You naughty girl, now you are in my hands, let's see what you can do."

Shen Yizhi's fingers crawled up to his face and wiped away the crystal clear water droplets on his face that looked like broken diamonds. "Let the prince deal with it, okay?"

Her smile was like that of a little elf who had just entered the world, pure and charming, rippling the whole pool of spring water.

Gu Xueting's breath suddenly dropped. He stared at her for a long while, but finally closed his eyes in frustration.

What could he do with her now? A kiss could not satisfy his desire, and in the end he would be the only one who would suffer.

The incident four years ago must have left her with bad memories, so he didn't plan to touch her before getting married.

In this way, the only way is to remove all the obstacles between the two of them as soon as possible, and then she can be welcomed into the palace openly and make her the legitimate mistress of this palace.

For that moment, all the patience and waiting now are worth it.

Shen Yizi was a little scared at first. After all, he had already said those harsh words. He had just stared at her like a wolf, as if he wanted to swallow her in one bite.

After all the fuss, he actually did nothing.

Shen Yizhi approached him mischievously and whispered in his ear: "Your Highness, do you really not want to do anything to me? I've already made preparations."

He is simply a dramatic actor.

Gu Xueting opened his eyes. Beneath his calm appearance, there was hot magma surging. If he let it go for a moment, it would drown him and her together.

Shen Yizi was shocked and shrank back. This time he was really scared.

After all, the reason why she dared to act so unruly in front of him was simply because she relied on the fact that he would not do anything to her. If she really provoked him to the point of losing his bestial nature, she would be quite scared.

Seeing that she looked away and didn't dare to look at him, Gu Xueting knew that he had scared her. He felt amused but also helpless. He leaned over and kissed her eyes, picked her up like a child, and walked towards the small building.

"Change your clothes and take a shower to avoid catching a cold." He carried her to the bedroom. In the bathroom connected to the bedroom was a hot spring pool, which seemed to have come from nowhere.

The bathroom is semi-open, with a circle of jacaranda trees planted outside. It looks like a painting when it is static, and even more beautiful and dreamy when blown by the wind.

Shen Yizi was soaking in the pool and was reluctant to leave.

"Zhizhi?" Gu Xueting called her outside with some concern, afraid that she would faint after soaking for too long.

Shen Yizi walked out with wet hair and wooden clogs, bringing with him a warm fragrance.

Water tanks were placed under the floor, forming holes. When people stepped on them with wooden clogs, they would create echoes. The sound was indescribably beautiful, like the rustling of wind chimes under the eaves, like clear snow falling on flower petals, or like a breeze blowing across the green hills.

Shen Yizhi felt that every step he took was a cheerful note.

In order to hear the sound, she took a few more steps.

Gu Xueting was amused by her childish behavior and led her to the window.

An entire wall here was punched through to create a floor-to-ceiling window. In front of the window was a tatami mat as wide as a bed, with a low table and two futons placed on it.

Knowing that Shen Yizi liked to lie down and curl up, Gu Xueting laid a velvet blanket on her while she was taking a bath.

Enough for her to roll around on.

This arrangement really won Shen Yizi's heart.

"How thoughtful! I'll give you a candy as a reward. What flavor do you want?"

Gu Xueting blurted out: "It tastes good."

Shen Yizhi: “…”

Oh my god, what a sweet crit!

Shen Yizhi felt rarely uncomfortable in his presence.

Look left and right but don't look at him.

Gu Xueting felt a little at a loss after he finished speaking.

The air suddenly fell silent, yet there was a faint sweetness flowing through it.

Shen Yizhi coughed lightly, "It's not impossible to satisfy you."

She put the candy in her mouth, held his shoulders, stood on tiptoes, and fed it to him.

"Is Zhizhiwei's candy sweet?"

How could it not be sweet? Gu Xueting felt like he was about to be drowned by the sweetness in his chest.

Although he had no idea what the candy in his mouth tasted like.

"I'll wipe your hair."

"good."

Although for them, drying hair is just a matter of a little magic.

After wiping her hair, Gu Xueting combed it unskillfully and finally tied it up simply with a silk rope.

Shen Yizi lay there the whole time, without even moving a finger.

She felt that if she continued like this, Gu Xueting would spoil her.

Although she also enjoyed it.

She turned around, lay on his back, put her arms around his chest, and played with a strand of his hair: "Why build a small building here?"
