The Prince Consort's Beloved

After Li Yuanrou came back from Daya's place, she saw Xiao Luobai holding the dragon-shaped jade pendant in a trance. She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Your jade pendant is so special. It doesn't look like an ordinary jade pendant. Where did you get it?"

Xiao Luobai looked at her, pursed his lips, hesitated, and finally did not tell the truth: "It's a long story, I'll tell you when I have a chance."

He thought about giving the jade pendant to his aunt, but his aunt had always asked him to take it back.

He didn't want revenge anyway. He just wanted to live an ordinary life as Cuizhu and his biological mother said.

There was no need to tell Li Yuanrou about those messy things. He also didn't want Li Yuanrou to know too much, for fear that she would be upset and think too much. He just wanted Li Yuanrou to live a happy and happy life. He would take care of everything else.

Li Yuanrou pursed her lips and thought to herself, don’t tell me anything. It would be great if I could read minds.

She lazily leaned on the bed and began to let her imagination run wild. She couldn't help but feel annoyed as she thought about it. Why did she have nothing when she came here? No system, no cheat code. If she hadn't met Xiao Luobai, she would probably be cannon fodder. She couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Why don't I have a cheat code?"

Xiao Luobai looked at her absent-minded look, then looked at her slender fingers suspiciously, and then lowered his eyes to look at his own long fingers.

The next evening, Xiao Luobai came back in high spirits, holding a square brocade box in his hand, saying it was a gift for Li Yuanrou.

Li Yuanrou happily took it, but was petrified the moment she opened it. It was a finger made of pure gold...

Li Yuanrou looked at Xiao Luobai with a smile on his face, and the corners of his mouth twitched several times.

Never mind, it’s gold after all…

Xiao Luobai looked at her subtle expression changes and couldn't help asking, "Don't you want this?"

Li Yuanrou smiled stiffly: "It would be better to give a golden dagger."

So on the second day, Li Yuanrou happily picked up a pure gold dagger.

Xiao Luobai decided to go back to the village. Li Yuanrou wanted to go with him. Xiao Luobai was somewhat reluctant. However, under Li Yuanrou's one-stop strategy of acting coquettishly, making trouble, and flattering him, Xiao Luobai completely lost himself and agreed immediately.

Two days before leaving, Xiao Luobai tried to regret again: "Rou'er, why don't you just stay in the mansion and don't go anywhere. I will be back in three days at most."

Li Yuanrou looked at him suspiciously, and felt that Xiao Luobai was abnormal: "Why did you stop me from going with you again and again? Is there some secret in the village that you cannot let others know?"

Xiao Luobai chuckled helplessly: "There is no secret at all, it's just that my aunt has a bad temper and is afraid that you will be wronged if you go there."

Li Yuanrou waved her hands nonchalantly: "It's nothing. An ugly daughter-in-law has to meet her parents-in-law. At most, I just have to be humble and modest. Don't worry, I know my limits."

Because Li Yuanrou was going, Daya was determined to go with her this time. Li Yuanrou considered that Qingfeng would definitely go too, so taking Daya with her would allow the two of them to cultivate their relationship. Besides, it would be inconvenient if she didn't take a maid with her. It was said that except for Yao Jinhua, who was a woman, the village was full of men.

Xiao Luobai still didn't want to take Daya with him. In fact, he didn't want to take anyone with him. He and Li Yuanrou were the best team.

After Daya's request was rejected by Xiao Luobai, the soft-hearted Li Yuanrou finally helped to persuade her, and then the four of them set off with light luggage.

Li Yuanrou insisted on riding a horse, so the carriage was given to Daya and Qingfeng.

Li Yuanrou was very excited and kept looking around, wishing she could open her eyes to look around.

All things come back to life, the spring breeze is warm, willows are sprouting, and flowers are blooming.

The way is filled with birdsong and flowers, and it is as joyful as an outing.

When they came to a place with beautiful scenery, Li Yuanrou would ask to stop and take Xiao Luobai for a walk.

The warm sunlight shines through the clouds and onto the green earth, bringing a vibrant atmosphere to the face.

Xiao Luobai looked at her helplessly and smiled bitterly: "If we keep stopping and starting, we won't be able to get back before dark. By then, we'll have to sleep in the wilderness without even a candle. Are you afraid?"

Li Yuanrou hugged his arm, raised an innocent smile, and said firmly: "Don't be afraid!"

Xiao Luobai pretended to be surprised and asked her, "Are you not afraid of the dark anymore?"

When Li Yuanrou slept alone at night, the candlelight would not be extinguished all night.

Li Yuanrou chuckled twice: "I am only afraid of the dark when I am alone. What should I be afraid of when you are next to me?"

He would only extinguish the candle when they stayed together. When Xiao Luobai was with her, she was not afraid of the dark.

As the two were talking, Xiao Luobai suddenly stopped and his eyes suddenly became sharp. Qingfeng also noticed something strange and his expression became serious. Li Yuanrou still didn't understand why, but she knew something was wrong when she saw the posture of the two of them.

There was a rustling sound approaching this side rapidly.
