At the same time, Ah Li sat in front of her dressing table, playing with a small jar of perfume in her hand, and said casually, "My marriage with that person is off. Take some people and take back all the dowry that was sent to the Xu family."
Upon hearing this, Bai Lan paused slightly before accepting the order and leaving.
Ah Li curled her lips into a smile, and Situ Yan appeared in the mirror.
Situ Yan was already dressed in his finest clothes, which made him look even more handsome.
"I'll do it."
Situ Yan noticed that the palace maid beside Ah Li hadn't finished combing Ah Li's hair yet, so he walked over.
The palace maid looked at Ah Li, waiting for Ah Li's instructions.
Ah Li nodded, "Let the prince consort come."
Situ Yan took the comb from the palace maid and combed Ah Li's long hair, even tying it up like a married woman's sideburns.
Ah Li stared at herself in the mirror, and then she saw Situ Yan pick up the eyebrow pencil on the table and draw her eyebrows.
He is very skillful and meticulous, just like back then.
Distant memories, like Pandora's box, have been reopened upon seeing this person.
Ah Li remembered that this person had also pestered her, asking her to teach him how to play dice.
The kind where you can shake it as many times as you want.
There's also pitch-pot.
To her at that time, Situ Yan was like a playful teenager.
"Your Highness, please teach me."
A seven or eight-year-old boy was following a well-dressed girl.
At that time, he was sent to the palace to be a tutor.
He also gave her many of his favorite things, including his favorite wooden sword, his favorite pastries, and his favorite pet.
Back then, she would only occupy the body when the original owner was too lazy to be insincere with Xu Yue.
Situ Yan idolized her back then and pestered her relentlessly.
While Xu Yue and she maintained a distant relationship, she would occasionally play together with him.
At that time, she thought that since they were all boys, they should like the same things.
However, while she was playing with Situ Yan, Xu Yue was getting very close to the Crown Prince, who was not yet the Emperor at the time.
Because she was the Crown Prince's older sister, he was kind and gentle to her when the Crown Prince was around.
At that time, the host was focused on completing the mission and didn't pay attention to many things, including that person's insincerity.
Now, the boy who used to follow her around has grown up, his features have matured, and he's becoming more and more handsome.
Before anyone knew it, Situ Yan and Ah Li grew closer and closer, and it looked like they were about to kiss.
Ah Li snapped out of her daze and reached out to push Situ Yan away.
Before Situ Yan could even get close to Ah Li, he was pushed away by her. His eyes showed confusion, bewilderment, and a hint of grievance.
Ahri turned to look at herself in the mirror. Very good, dignified and elegant.
Situ Yan stood silently beside Ah Li, his head bowed.
The next second, his hand was grabbed by Ahri, and he was pressed down in front of the dressing table.
"Sit still."
Ah Li removed the hair ornament that Situ Yan had tied himself.
A head of long, glossy black hair instantly cascaded down.
Ahri took the comb and combed his hair.
Situ Yan felt a little happy; he had only changed his hair ornament and hadn't combed his hair properly.
Now, she's helping him tie his hair up; it's not a dream.
Her gaze was very focused, and she would occasionally glance at him in the mirror. A gentle smile played on her lips, easily dispelling the gloom that had just appeared in his heart.
"Your hair is beautiful."
Situ Yan's ears turned slightly red. He wanted to say something, but he was afraid of breaking the current harmony, so he remained silent.
The newly tied hair ornament was firmly fixed on Situ Yan's head, making him look very dashing, yet also adding a touch of gentleness and elegance.
Ah Li took a few steps back, carefully examined Situ Yan's appearance, and said with great satisfaction, "My consort is indeed dashing."
Upon hearing this, Situ Yan's heart was instantly stirred. He looked up at Ah Li, his deep affection for her no longer hidden.
