His eyes were filled with doubt and confusion, like the bewildered stars twinkling in the night sky.
After a moment of silence, she asked, "According to you, General Xiao currently has no intention whatsoever of letting Xiao Wanxi get married."
And in just a few days, he will take her back to that distant frontier, just like before.
Moreover, the Crown Prince grew up in this bustling capital city from a young age, living and working within the palace walls, and the people he came into contact with were all powerful and influential figures and scions of noble families in the capital.
Xiao Wanxi was in the frontier, a place filled with sandstorms and harsh conditions, far from the capital, like two completely different worlds.
The two of them, let alone getting to know each other, probably only had a handful of opportunities to meet. How could such a romance possibly take root and blossom?
This heartfelt sentiment was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.
The message slowly spread throughout the solemn and dignified court, prompting varying degrees of reflection and doubt in everyone's hearts.
At this moment, Xiao Wanxi seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, and her inner curiosity was as overwhelming as a tide.
She turned her face slightly to the side, secretly raising her feather-like eyes, and stealthily glanced in the direction of the Crown Prince out of the corner of her eye.
That casual glance instantly brought a blush to her cheeks, as if gently caressed by the most magnificent sunset in spring.
The blush first spread across her rosy cheeks, then gradually crept up to her delicate earlobes.
This gave her an air of girlish shyness and naivety.
At the same time, she was also muttering to herself, full of confusion and bewilderment: she had lived in that remote frontier area since she was a child.
It was like a completely different world from the bustling and noisy capital city, and he had never had even once encountered or interacted with this incomparably noble Crown Prince before.
She had never even glanced at him from afar, so how could she inexplicably marry him later?
This is simply an absurd and fantastical dream, so unbelievable and bizarre.
Standing to the side, Xiao Muhan's face was as gloomy as the sky before a storm, with dark clouds covering the sky, making it hard to breathe.
He clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned slightly white from the force, and his two sword-like eyes were fixed on the crown prince.
It seemed to contain a raging fire that could instantly ignite a person, full of undisguised dissatisfaction and strong resistance.
Deep in his heart, his daughter was the most precious treasure in his life, and the softest concern he had for her.
For many years, he has endured countless battles and hardships on the frontier, risking his life in the open, all for the sake of creating a safe and worry-free living environment for his daughter.
He carefully nurtured his daughter's growth, treating her like a precious gem, afraid she might fall if he held her in his hands or melt if he kept her in his mouth.
He never even had the slightest thought of letting his daughter get married and leave his side at an early age.
Although this Crown Prince is of extremely high status, his talent and character are considered by everyone to be outstanding and a perfect match.
But in Xiao Muhan's eyes, this was completely unimportant.
He was single-mindedly focused on finding a husband for his daughter so that she could stay by his side for a long time and enjoy family life together.
She doesn't have to endure the pain of longing and the weariness of wandering when she marries far away from home.
After all, in his heart, the title of Crown Princess may sound glamorous and glorious, but in reality, it hides countless constraints and helplessness.
Once a daughter marries into the strictly regulated royal family, she will be like a bird trapped in an exquisite cage, losing her former unrestrained freedom.
From then on, they were trapped in those high walls and courtyards, living a life of extreme caution and constant anxiety.
Moreover, according to royal custom, after marriage, the daughter would inevitably live with the Crown Prince in the deep palace in the capital, thousands of miles away from him in the distant frontier.
The long distance and the insurmountable court rules would undoubtedly make it incredibly difficult for the father and daughter to meet, something he could not accept under any circumstances.
Moreover, her own daughter grew up in the border region and is naturally simple, kind, lively, and straightforward.
Like a crystal-clear mountain spring, it has never been tainted by the power struggles and deceit within the palace.
Such a temperament, in the complex and ever-changing royal court, would likely be like a lamb lost among wolves.
If you're not careful, you'll be hurt by those unseen arrows and suffer countless hardships.
The thought of these terrible scenarios filled Xiao Muhan's heart with worry and reluctance, as if a thousand needles were pricking it.
They were filled with resistance to this sudden and inexplicable so-called "marriage".
He secretly vowed in his heart that he would do everything in his power to prevent his daughter from going down this "path of no return" that he considered full of thorns and dangers.
