The princess arrives and the prosperous Tang Dynasty begins

The sun shines through the clouds and softly sprinkles on every corner of the Imperial Garden. The colorful flowers compete with each other for beauty, the green trees are shady, and the pavilions and towers are scattered in an orderly manner, just like a beautiful painting. Lin Xiao strolls in this picturesque scenery, his heart full of curiosity and exploration of the new life.

She was wearing a light blue palace dress, and her skirt swayed gently with her steps, like a blooming green lotus. Her hair was gently blown by the breeze, and a few strands of hair danced playfully beside her cheeks. On her delicate face, a pair of bright eyes sparkled with intelligence, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised with a barely perceptible smile.

Just as Lin Xiao was intoxicated by the beautiful scenery, she heard a slight sound of footsteps not far away. She turned her head subconsciously and saw a graceful man walking slowly towards her. He was dressed in gorgeous prince's clothes, and the golden silk thread shone brightly in the sun. His face was handsome and resolute, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. Under his high nose bridge were slightly upturned lips with a faint smile. His steps were steady and elegant, and his every move exuded an innate noble temperament.

Lin Xiao was amazed in her heart, thinking that this must be the prince. When he came closer, Lin Xiao bowed and said softly, "Your Highness." Prince Li Xuan quickly raised his hand to signal her to stand up, and said gently, "No need to be so polite." His voice was low and magnetic, which made people feel good about him.

Lin Xiao stood up and looked at Li Xuan with a smile, a hint of curiosity in her eyes. Li Xuan also looked at her with interest and said, "You are the new princess, you are really different." Lin Xiao smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Your Highness, thank you for the compliment." The two stood beside the flowers and started a polite and relaxed conversation.

Li Xuan smiled and said, "The scenery of this Imperial Garden is breathtaking. I like to take a walk here on weekdays. It's a coincidence that I can meet the princess here today." Lin Xiao nodded and replied, "Yes, this Imperial Garden is indeed beautiful. I'm new here and everything here is still new to me." Li Xuan seemed very interested in Lin Xiao's answer and continued to ask, "Then Princess, do you think this palace is different from what you imagined?" Lin Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Everything in this palace is more complicated and delicate than I imagined. It takes time to slowly adapt and understand it." Li Xuan agreed and said, "Indeed, there are many rules in the palace, and the human relationships are also quite complicated. But as long as you experience it with your heart, you can also discover the beauty in it."

The two chatted about the scenery in the palace and their respective interests and hobbies. Lin Xiao found that Li Xuan not only had an outstanding appearance, but also had profound knowledge and elegant taste. He had in-depth research on poetry, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and had his own unique insights on national affairs. Li Xuan also deeply appreciated Lin Xiao's intelligence and agility. Her words and deeds revealed a unique charm that made people want to get close to her and understand her.

As the conversation deepened, the atmosphere between the two became more harmonious. The breeze blew gently, and the petals fell one after another, like a pink rain. Lin Xiao reached out her hand, caught a petal, and smiled softly, "This petal is so beautiful." Li Xuan looked at her innocent smile, and a ripple surged in his heart. He whispered, "As beautiful as a princess." Lin Xiao's face flushed slightly, and she lowered her head shyly.

At this moment, a butterfly fluttered over and landed on Lin Xiao's shoulder. Lin Xiao looked at the butterfly in surprise, and was very careful not to move. Li Xuan saw this and whispered, "Don't move, let it stay for a while." The two of them looked at the butterfly quietly, as if time had stopped at this moment. After a while, the butterfly flew away gently, and Lin Xiao came back to her senses. She looked at the direction where the butterfly left with some reluctance, and whispered, "It flew away." Li Xuan smiled and said, "It just went to find more beautiful flowers." Lin Xiao nodded, and a faint melancholy surged in her heart.

Before they knew it, the sun was setting. Li Xuan looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late. I should go back to the palace to handle government affairs. I had a pleasant conversation with the princess today. I hope we can have another chance in the future." Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Highness. I am very happy too." Li Xuan nodded to Lin Xiao again, then turned and left. Lin Xiao looked at his departing figure, her heart full of expectations for the future.

This chance encounter in the Imperial Garden gave Lin Xiao a deeper understanding of Li Xuan. She knew that in this palace, Li Xuan might become her important friend, and there might even be more stories. And for Li Xuan, Lin Xiao's appearance was like a ray of fresh wind blowing into his heart. He began to look forward to the next meeting with her, looking forward to having more communication and understanding with her.

In the days that followed, Lin Xiao would often think of her encounter with Li Xuan. She would silently recall their conversation in her heart, imagining Li Xuan's every move. And Li Xuan would often think of the beautiful woman who was as beautiful as a flower in the imperial garden when he was busy with government affairs. Their fates seemed to have quietly intertwined at this moment.

However, life in the palace is not always smooth sailing. Lin Xiao also encountered many difficulties and challenges in the process of adapting to her new life. But whenever she thought of Li Xuan's encouragement and support, she would be full of confidence and courage to move forward. Li Xuan was also paying attention to Lin Xiao's growth and changes. He knew that this woman had an extremely strong heart and an indomitable spirit.

As time went by, Lin Xiao and Li Xuan came into contact with each other more and more. They participated in various activities in the palace together, discussed poetry and songs together, and appreciated the beautiful scenery in the palace together. In the process, the feelings between them also changed subtly without them realizing it. From the initial politeness and courtesy, to the later familiarity and closeness, to the current good feelings, everything seemed so natural and beautiful.

On a quiet night, Lin Xiao strolled alone in the Imperial Garden. The moonlight was like water, sprinkled on her body, as if she was covered with a layer of silver yarn. She sat quietly in the pavilion by the lake, looking at the bright moon reflected on the lake, with a lot of thoughts in her mind. At this moment, Li Xuan also came to the Imperial Garden quietly. He saw Lin Xiao sitting in the pavilion, and a hint of surprise surged in his heart. He approached the pavilion gently and said softly: "It's so late, why is the princess here alone?" Lin Xiao heard Li Xuan's voice, turned around, smiled and said: "The moonlight is so beautiful tonight, so I want to come here to see it. Why is His Royal Highness here too?" Li Xuan walked to Lin Xiao and sat down, looking at her and said: "I am also attracted by the moonlight." The two sat quietly in the pavilion, looking at the bright moon on the lake, and no one spoke. But there is an indescribable tacit understanding and warmth between each other.

After a long time, Li Xuan said softly: "Lin Xiao, I..." Lin Xiao turned her head and looked at him with a hint of doubt in her eyes. Li Xuan took a deep breath and plucked up the courage to say: "I like you." Lin Xiao's face turned red instantly, and she looked at Li Xuan a little at a loss. Li Xuan looked at her lovely appearance, couldn't help but smile, and said: "I know this is a bit sudden, but this is my true words. From the first time I saw you in the Imperial Garden, I was attracted to you. As time goes by, my feelings for you are getting deeper and deeper." Lin Xiao listened to his confession quietly, her heart was full of emotion and happiness. She lowered her head shyly and said softly: "I... I like you too." Li Xuan was very excited when he heard her answer. He gently held Lin Xiao's hand and said: "Then let's be together like this. In the days to come, I will take good care of you and protect you." Lin Xiao nodded, with a happy light in her eyes.
