That night, after Song Sanniang and Dongfang Rui had an intimate moment, she heard Dongfang Rui seriously make a promise to her.
"Sanniang, please wait for me for three years. I will take care of everything. Will you be willing to travel with me to explore the mountains and rivers in three years?"
Song Sanniang looked up at Dongfang Rui's face in surprise, as if to confirm whether what he said was true.
Dongfang Rui felt a little sad and promised again firmly.
"If I were to take you on a trip, you..."
Before he could finish his words, Song Sanniang hugged him and pulled him into her arms, her voice full of joy and excitement.
"I do."
It's only three years, she can still wait.
The two chatted briefly about their future plans, then quickly fell asleep and had a dreamless night.
Dongfang Rui disappeared for the next few days.
Although she knew that he was in the palace and why he was detained there, her patience gradually wore off as time went by. However, before her patience ran out, he finally returned safely.
Song Sanniang looked at the man in front of the courtyard gate. She hadn't seen him for just a few days, but he had an unshaven beard and a haggard face.
Dongfang Rui opened his arms and looked at her with a wronged look on his face, his whole body filled with the desire for a hug.
Song Sanniang rushed into Dongfang Rui's arms, her voice trembling a little.
"Where have you been? Do you know how anxious I was waiting for you alone in the palace?"
As Song Sanniang said this, she punched Dongfang Rui angrily and anxiously.
Dongfang Rui felt very guilty. It was all his fault that he was inconsiderate and made the princess sad. But Song Sanniang gave him a fist of love, and he... The princess loved him deeply.
108, who was hiding in Song Sanniang's mind, saw through the weak nature of the male protagonist at a glance. It just saw that the host only punched him and the male protagonist's body began to tremble.
As the saying goes in the human world: Love is a heavy burden.
Dongfang Rui suppressed his trembling and spoke in a normal tone.
"Sanniang, I haven't had a good meal or rest these past few days. I'm so hungry~"
Song Sanniang wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes.
"The food has been warming up in the small kitchen. You can eat it when you come back."
Dongfang Rui immediately forgot about the little punch Song Sanniang had just given him. All he could think about was how considerate the princess was, how good the princess was...
Song Sanniang watched Dongfang Rui finish his meal. The hot water was ready, so Song Sanniang rushed him to the bathhouse and told him to take a good bath.
After cleaning up, she pushed Dongfang Rui onto the bed and covered him with the quilt. Seeing that he looked like he wanted to say something, she pinched his mouth with her right hand.
"Okay, relax and have a good rest. We can talk later if you have anything to say." He then said jokingly.
"If you don't sleep now, your dark circles will cover your entire face."
Dongfang Rui gently held her hand, and looked at her with his bright eyes that had just been smoked by the heat.
Song Sanniang couldn't resist his gaze, and finally sighed resignedly, took off her coat and lay down with him.
"Go to sleep, go to sleep."
Dongfang Rui moved next to Song Sanniang, felt the presence of someone beside him, felt satisfied, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Song Sanniang just lay there quietly.
In fact, she knew exactly what Dongfang Rui had done and what he had experienced in the past few days.
That fool just rushed straight into the palace.
The first thing he said when he met Emperor Xuan was that he wanted to resign. Life was long and he wanted to go and see the beautiful scenery.
Emperor Xuan was directly angered by him. Seeing that he was determined to abandon everything here, he was reluctant to touch him and locked him up instead.
Let him wake up and clear his mind.
Who would have thought that Dongfang Rui not only did not back down, but also started a hunger strike. As soon as he started to go on a hunger strike, Emperor Xuan immediately went to the side hall where he was imprisoned and gave him a beating.
Dongfang Ruicai failed in his hunger strike.
After that, the father and son remained deadlocked for a few days, and finally Dongfang Rui's words broke the deadlock.
"My mother longed for the sky outside the palace when she was alive, but she never left here until the end."
Emperor Xuan looked silently behind him at that time. That was Fengyi Palace, where Dongfang Rui's mother lived.
Dongfang Rui finally succeeded. Emperor Xuan was helpless, but he asked Dongfang Rui to see things through and finish all the duties at hand first.
Dongfang Rui didn't show any expression on his face, but he was very satisfied with it in his heart. He had never thought about getting his father's consent in one go. As long as he put forward the most excessive (ultimate goal) request first, and then propose an easier-to-achieve one.
Of course, Dongfang Rui also knew in his heart that the most crucial thing was that sentence. Otherwise, with his father's temper, he would probably have to suffer a lot if he wanted to achieve his goal.
But he was satisfied...
Song Sanniang saw Dongfang Rui's visibly haggard appearance from the corner of her eye, and she sighed silently in her heart.
It was completely different from the step-by-step process that had been discussed before. Fortunately, Emperor Xuan treated Dongfang Rui differently. Even when the candidate for crown prince he had trained was about to run away, his expression did not change at all.
In fact, if someone could read minds, they would definitely be surprised.
In their eyes, His Majesty was filled with majesty, someone who probably wouldn't even blink even if a mountain collapsed before his eyes.
He looked serious, but was cursing in his heart.
"You are an unfilial son. You don't deserve to be a prince. You don't want the position of crown prince. Why do you want to travel around?"
"How can Princess Rui be a princess? Prince Rui is so unambitious, and she doesn't care about it."
"Ahhh, he's actually on a hunger strike. Who taught him to do this..."
Although Emperor Xuan had always been paying attention to Prince Rui's Mansion, Dongfang Rui and Song Sanniang discussed leaving their homes and going out to play while they were in bed.
