Xia Fengxue bent her index finger and flicked the tip of her nose. "Your complexion seems a bit off. What's wrong? Who dares to bother our princess?"
“It’s all because of Father Emperor…” Feng Guang felt that this elder brother was her ally and accused, “He said he would keep me for a few more years, but he just didn’t want me to marry Si Jia.”
"Perhaps... Father really wants to prolong his glory for a few more years."
"I don't believe that. It's just something you can fool a child."
Xia Fengxue said with amusement, "Does Fengguang really want to marry Sijia that much?"
"Yes, I want to! I dream about it!" she said earnestly, then added hesitantly, "I promised Sijia I wouldn't keep him waiting too long. Oh no, do I really have no choice but to elope..."
Seeing how eager she was to get married, Xia Fengxue initially felt very satisfied, but then, seeing her so worried, he suddenly felt a pang of conscience. "Fengguang, actually..."
After uttering those words, he couldn't continue.
Feng Guang waited for a long time but still didn't get any further information from him, so he asked curiously, "Brother, what are you trying to say?"
"I'll take you somewhere." Xia Fengxue took her hand and turned to leave.
Despite her doubts, Feng Guang obediently followed him. A few minutes later, she realized they had arrived at his palace. She was even more puzzled. "Brother, what are you doing here?"
"Does Fengguang recognize what kind of tree this is?" Xia Fengxue led her into the courtyard and stood under a towering tree.
Feng Guang recognized it almost instantly. "This is a loquat tree. I remember there wasn't a loquat tree in my brother's palace before..."
"I had this tree transplanted here at my request. I expect it will bear a lot of fruit by summer."
She wiped away non-existent drool from the corner of her mouth and said with drooling, "Then I can definitely finish all these fruits."
“Naturally, we should leave the fruit for Fengguang.” Xia Fengxue smiled, her eyes like a spring, full of deep affection. “Fengguang once said that my future should be to buy a courtyard, plant an evergreen loquat tree in the courtyard, get married and have children, and live a happy life.”
Feng Guang was stunned for a long time. "How did you, my brother, know these things?"
"Don't you really understand?" He removed the phoenix hairpin from her hair, then reached out and inserted a butterfly hairpin into her hair. Looking at the hairpin he had taken from her head, he smiled and said, "Fengguang already gave this to me, didn't she?"
Feng Guang recognized the butterfly hairpin he had placed on her finger—it was the same one she had chosen in her dream. She moved her lips, but after a long pause, she uttered a sound of disbelief, "No...how could this be..."
"What Fengguang said was impossible is actually possible."
"No! I must still be dreaming!" She pinched herself, feeling the pain, but this hypnosis wasn't an ordinary dream, so the pain was understandable. Finally, she took a step back in despair and said, "How could you possibly be Sijia!?"
“I am indeed Sijia.” Xia Fengxue grabbed her arm and pulled her into her arms to prevent her from drifting away again. “Fengguang, let me explain.”
She wanted to shake her head and say she wouldn't listen, and then run away crying, but when she thought that this seemed like the heroine's routine, she held back. Since she couldn't run away, she simply abandoned her ladylike demeanor, grabbed his collar, and said fiercely, "You better explain yourself clearly!"
