Ye Siming waits while Gu Nuo'er mingles with generals, who are charmed by her. Though initially possessive, Ye Siming respects her need to socialize. Gu Nuo'er’s affable nature impresses everyone, softening their view of her and her father. Meanwhile, a muddy and crying Ling Shen seeks Ye Siming’s help, finding him waiting for Gu Nuo'er.

Ye Siming stood up, feigning impatience. “Let’s go. I’ll take you to your mother,” he announced. He gestured for Ling Shen to follow him. Deep down, Ye Siming knew that if Ling Shen sought Gu Nuo’er’s assistance now, the child would undoubtedly return to his side. Yet, he ultimately prioritized her feelings. Ye Siming understood Gu Nuo’er’s fondness for making friends and enjoying lively company. Witnessing the gentle smile on her face, he couldn’t bring himself to disrupt her happiness. Even though he felt a twinge of discomfort from being overlooked, he resolved to endure it. After all, he could suppress even his murderous intent for her sake. How much more could he handle this fleeting displeasure? Not long after Ye Siming departed with Ling Shen, everyone continued their conversations with Gu Nuo’er. They found the little princess’s recent journey to be utterly astonishing. Initially, they were incensed by the wicked bandits who committed evil deeds and plundered wealth. They also heard about Divine Dragon Village’s worship of a snake demon, which led to the deaths of numerous girls, filling them with shock and indignation. However, at this moment, a calm yet melodious voice sliced through the air. “Princess Yaoguang’s experiences were indeed extraordinary. Hearing about them, I couldn’t help but envision the perils you faced back then. Fortunately, you were present; otherwise, countless innocent lives would have been endangered. The princess truly is a blessing to the world, wouldn’t you agree?” Upon hearing this voice, all those who had been chatting merrily abruptly composed themselves. They bowed in unison and stepped aside, creating a clear path. This left Gu Nuo’er facing the newcomer directly. She lifted her clear, bright eyes to behold the handsome young man in opulent attire standing a short distance away. A contingent of palace guards flanked him, all bowing respectfully in his presence. Yun Linzhou appeared gentle and refined, but only he was privy to the intense emotions churning within him at that moment. He had finally reunited with Nuo’er. He had rehearsed countless scenarios of their reunion in his mind. Previously, when he was in Great Qi, he had feigned foolishness to stay close to her. Now, he no longer needed to pretend; he could meet her openly in his true form. There was even a moment when Yun Linzhou offered silent thanks to the heavens for granting him another opportunity to know Nuo’er. The surrounding individuals clasped their hands in greeting. “Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince.” Gu Nuo’er’s luminous black eyes widened in slight bewilderment. “Crown Prince?” Yun Linzhou offered a gentle smile. Bathed in moonlight, his gaze upon Gu Nuo’er was exceptionally warm. “Nuo’er, would you mind accompanying me for a stroll and a talk?” Yun Linzhou extended his hand towards her. He was approximately the same height as Ye Siming. It had long been Yun Linzhou’s deepest desire to hold Gu Nuo’er’s hand and walk beside her. However, the child merely blinked her water-like eyes at him, her gaze holding only a hint of inquiry, devoid of any excessive emotion. Finally, she lifted her small feet and began walking towards him. Yet, she sidestepped his outstretched hand. As she passed him, Gu Nuo’er spoke, “We cannot venture too far. The pretty consort will worry if she cannot find me later.” Yun Linzhou quickly turned and followed behind her. Without looking back, he raised his hand, signaling the accompanying palace servants to halt. At this juncture, his sole desire was to be alone with Gu Nuo’er. Everyone watched as the Crown Prince and the princess of an opposing nation departed towards a distant flowering tree, seemingly to converse. A sense of puzzlement rippled through the assembled crowd. The Crown Prince was reputed to be aloof and distant towards everyone. Why was he so compliant with Princess Yaoguang’s wishes? Yuan Gu couldn’t resist asking Wei Cang in a low voice, “Does the Crown Prince intend to pursue a political marriage with Princess Yaoguang?” Wei Cang sternly admonished him, “Do not speak of such matters so casually!”
