She cherished the Shangguan couple and Shangguan Tianlin who doted on her, so she was willing to tolerate Shangguan Jingyi and Qin Yuwei.
His Highness shared the same fate as her: his mother died young, and his father was extremely indifferent to him, as if he didn't exist.
At a young age, he had already mastered a lot of skills, just so he could be bullied less and have enough to eat.
Tianyun stepped off the stone slab with unsteady steps, walked unsteadily to Xiao Ziwu's back, and lay down on his back.
Cool tears seeped into his neck.
"I will always be with you, wherever you are, I will be there." Even if you die, I will not hesitate to go with you!
The following sentence was too heavy for Tianyun to say, as she didn't want him to feel that such love was a burden.
Xiao Ziwu rubbed his fingertips, pulled her body close and hugged her, sighing softly, "I know, I know everything."
After this experience, he has come to realize that she would risk her life for him!
And wasn't he the same?
Even if she said she wanted her life right now, Xiao Ziwu would give it to her without hesitation.
To an outsider, such love might seem too morbid and too obsessive.
Xiao Ziwu, however, felt immense joy for her, for he loved her without reservation.
※※※※
The bottom of the cliff was deserted, and time seemed to pass slowly. The two of them fed each other, sharing the roast chicken in a sweet and affectionate manner.
Xiao Zi wiped her oily little hands clean, brought them to his lips and kissed them, his deep black eyes filled with laughter.
"Shall I take you out to see the world?"
"OK."
The cave was damp and cold. Once outside, the sunlight, filtered through layers of trees, dappled across the body, providing a faint warmth that was better than nothing.
Tianyun lay comfortably on Xiao Ziwu's back as he carried her forward.
A flower wreath, clumsily woven by a man, adorned her loosely tied bun, making her look as beautiful as a forest sprite.
Xiao Zi used all his strength to bounce her up a little higher, his heart completely focused on her.
He broke off all the branches of the huge trees along the way, and Tianyun's hair was not even disturbed.
She casually picked a green leaf, put it to her lips and blew on it, but her technique was not skillful enough, and the beautiful melody she had envisioned did not come out.
Tianyun, bored, tossed aside the leaves and started singing directly.
She wrapped her arms tightly around His Highness's neck and leaned close to his ear.
Even her off-key, strange singing voice became incredibly endearing. Her damp, faintly fragrant scent permeated every nook and cranny, causing a slight tingling sensation at the man's ears and a barely perceptible smile to appear on his lips.
I want to hold your hand like this and never let go.
"We watched the sunset together until we both fell asleep."
I want to hold your hand like this and never let go.
"Can love always be pure and without sorrow?"
"..."
The young woman sang those few lines over and over again. Her strange, unheard-of tune made Xiao Ziwu chuckle, a mischievous glint in his eyes.
"The lyrics and music are quite explicit, but... they're very fitting for the occasion."
Holding hands, we admire the sunset together.
Xiao Ziwu would fulfill any wish she had.
Although the bottom of the cliff was somewhat hollow, it was a place away from the hustle and bustle of the mortal world, truly a place that belonged only to the two of them.
Xiao Ziwu placed her on a haystack. Looking around, there was a patch of sparse, fluffy white wildflowers. Although it didn't form a flower field, it was still very elegant and lovely.
"It feels like we're on our honeymoon!"
With his arm around her neck, Tianyun smiled, her eyes crinkling. Suddenly, she felt that this scene was just like a newlywed couple going on a trip, enjoying the flowers and scenery with ease.
Xiao Ziwu raised one of his narrow eyebrows. "What is a honeymoon?"
"According to our local custom, the first month after the wedding ceremony is called the honeymoon. The newlyweds can go out to travel and enhance their relationship, hence the name honeymoon."
Tianyun's tone was filled with longing, yet she also knew that this was something that could only be encountered by chance.
If Your Highness ascends the throne smoothly, you will surely be busy with state affairs and the harem will gradually become full. I'm afraid you will no longer have the leisure to accompany her every day, let alone enjoy the flowers and scenery with her like today...
Tianyun's beautiful eyes dimmed. She had clearly told herself not to think about these things anymore, but she couldn't help but remind herself, almost self-destructively, that the man in front of her wouldn't belong to her alone.
Newlyweds...
This word is truly fitting when applied to the two of them!
Her words softened Xiao Ziwu's eyes, and a smile appeared in his eyes. He leaned down and gently kissed the tip of her upturned nose: "Once the situation in the capital settles down, I will welcome my darling home with a grand wedding procession, and then we will travel around together."
I wonder if this beautiful dream will ever come true?
Tianyun half-opened her eyes and softly replied, "Mmm..."
The two didn't return until the sun was setting. Tianyun was still obediently carried on his back, aimlessly enjoying the scenery along the way.
She discovered that the path she had come from was not the same as the path she was going back to, and the scenery was also slightly different. She saw several birds with bright green feathers, perched in pairs on the branches, preening each other's feathers.
Tianyun found it novel and turned to tease the hardworking prince again, occasionally tugging at his earlobe and pinching his smooth cheeks. Although he was a man, his skin was whiter and more tender than that of a girl.
She was like a spoiled brat harassing a young girl, never stopping for a moment.
Xiao Ziwu showed no impatience whatsoever, letting her manipulate him with impunity, which only fueled her arrogance!
Suddenly, Tianyun stopped playing, his pupils contracted, and his gaze focused on the filthy weeds under his feet. The roots of the weeds were all leaning to one side, clearly showing signs of being trampled.
