On the third day after the wedding, Zhan Shaoxi had already arrived outside Xue Ling's courtyard before the sky started to brighten. He frowned in surprise upon learning that she had already begun to get ready.

Today was the day the Royal Princess returned home to give thanks. According to Zhan Shaoxi's understanding of Xue Ling, asking her to wake up early was akin to asking for her life, so Zhan Shaoxi plotted to try and to enter her room today. Even if the other party was angry, he could push it off as being for her own good, because she could not return to the Imperial Palace at the wrong time.

But although he planned well, Xue Ling woke up early. Since today was the day he had to return to visit his family, he could not dress up as simply as the past few days. So, he had been pestered by the system to wake up early in the morning in order to get ready, and by now, he was almost done.

He had to wait until the Emperor finished with his morning court in order to see him, so Xue Ling could have chosen to wait until the court was adjourned before entering the palace, but the General disagreed and insisted that they go together. His reasoning was that regardless of how they were at home, they could not be perceived as having any internal discord when outside.

Xue Ling stared at him for a long time, until he was almost unable to hold onto his facial expression before nodding his head to agree.

Didn't he just want to be together with him? He could fulfill that wish for him.

Xue Ling narrowed his eyes. As for the disagreements between them, even if nobody within the residence spoke about it, there would still be others spreading it for them. According to the things that the people Xue Ling sent out to explore discovered over these past two days, the heroine was not as bright and impartial, and unwilling to make a move in the dark as the original script had portrayed her to be.

Once a woman had the intention of winning over someone, there were always things she could do in order to create some momentum for herself.

Early morning, the Zhenguo General's carriage steadily crossed over the moat bridge. The General had forsaken his usual tall and strong horse today, and was seated in the carriage beside the Royal Princess. It was only when they had to part that he reluctantly got off the carriage.

This scene was seen by many prominent figures in the court. Some of them covered their mouths and laughed, thinking that the General's previous reluctance had vanished in face of his wife's gentle embrace. This display of affection was so obvious that it made others' eyes darken, and it was unclear what they were thinking. Regardless, it would not be good things.

Nobody had any clue that the General's expression of reluctance was actually an act. In fact, he had been chased down by the person in the carriage, but he was indeed reluctant, wanting spend more time looking at her. Unfortunately, that person disagreed, and had never given him any positive expressions.

He had already been stunned by her looks once on their wedding day, but the situation at that time had been really strange, and his emotions had been all over the place, so he could not appreciate her beauty back then. On normal days, Zhan Shaoxi also felt that her elegant and simple appearance was excessively good looking, and now that he saw Xue Ling with exquisite makeup on once again, he only felt more and more that his heart no longer belonged to him. His thoughts from previous years about not wanting to trust and refusing to have anything to do with royalty, were all tossed somewhere and fed to the dogs. His entire heart was filled with the desire to please her.
