The Legend of Concubine Su

His Royal Highness, Crown Prince Yuan Cong, a heir to the throne, shouldering the heavy burden of the empire, yet deep down, he yearns for the hustle and bustle of the mundane world and the ordinary life of ordinary life. He decides, on this quiet night, to temporarily cast off the burden of his status as Crown Prince, like a bird freed from its cage, soaring into the free sky. He gently pushes open the door to his chambers, each step light and graceful, fearful of disturbing the night's tranquility. Within him, there's a boundless longing for the unknown, yet also a subtle uneasiness, as if embarking on a self-challenge, a courageous exploration of his destiny.

He carefully extended his fingers to the intricate and heavy garments of the Crown Prince, handling them as if they were priceless treasures. Each subtle movement was imbued with a sense of ritual and reverence, as if he were undoing the shackles that bound his soul. As the ornate garments gradually slipped from his body, he felt as if he had lifted the heavy burden that had weighed on his shoulders for years. His body and mind were instantly freed, feeling light and comfortable.

Next, he donned a seemingly ordinary, yet in fact exquisitely adorned, small eunuch attire. Though devoid of any luxurious ornamentation, the feeling of freedom it evoked was unparalleled. At this moment, he had finally shed the constraints of his status and could freely be his true self.

He stood quietly before the bronze mirror, gazing at the completely unfamiliar figure reflected in it. The corners of his mouth lifted involuntarily, a faint smile forming. This smile held an infinite longing for a free and unfettered life, as well as a firm acceptance of his own bold choices. In that moment, he seemed to behold a bright future, his heart filled with hope and courage, ready to embrace new challenges in life.

The night was as dark as ink, the moonlight as watery as water. Yuan Cong silently moved between the palace walls, his figure appearing mysterious yet resolute in the night. He followed a pre-planned route, each step cautious yet decisive. He knew this was more than just a simple outing; it was a challenge and transcendence of his own identity, a courageous escape from the tedious palace life that recurred day after day, year after year.

At this moment, Fu Jin Han Xinxin quietly changed into the simple attire of a palace maid. Her beautiful face was concealed in the ordinary, but her heart was like a vast ocean, surging. At this moment, she stood quietly, full of anxiety and longing, eagerly awaiting Yuan Cong's arrival.

She knew this journey was fraught with uncertainty and risk, but her fearless heart had already firmly chosen to move forward. She was filled with boundless anticipation for this thrilling adventure, mixed with an overwhelming sense of nervousness. However, none of these emotions could overcome her deep, intense, and infatuated love for Yuan Cong.

Finally, when Yuan Cong's familiar, imposing figure slowly came into view, Han Xinxin's eyes instantly shone with a mixture of surprise and delight, like a dazzling star streaking across the night sky. At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and everything around them became blurry. Only their gazes, tightly intertwined in the vast night, remained.

No words were needed; their tacit understanding spoke louder than a thousand. Their hands joined naturally, as if nothing in the world could separate them. At that moment, the entire world seemed to stop, only two young, passionate hearts beating fiercely, weaving together a legendary story that belonged only to them.

Passing through layer after layer of tall and majestic palace walls, their steps were firm and full of expectation, and they finally succeeded in stepping out of the suffocating palace, which seemed magnificent but actually felt like a cage. Suddenly, the scene before them opened up to a prosperous and bustling capital.

At this moment, the capital city is completely immersed in a dazzling display of lights. The annual grand lantern festival is in full swing, a dazzling visual feast. The streets and alleys are filled with exquisite lanterns of all shapes and sizes, twinkling like stars in the night sky, adorning the entire city with a dreamlike and magnificent beauty. The colorful lights complement each other, creating a dazzling rainbow-like brilliance, illuminating everyone's face, painting a touching picture of overflowing happiness and beaming smiles.

Yuan Cong and his wife seemed to have stepped into a fantastical dream world, where they temporarily cast aside their noble status and prominent position. They just wanted to indulge wholeheartedly in this hard-won, ordinary yet precious joyful atmosphere, savoring the simple happiness that belongs to ordinary people at this moment.

They strolled slowly through the bustling, bustling streets, feeling as if immersed in a sea of joy. Occasionally, they paused to gaze quietly at the exquisitely crafted and beautiful lanterns. These lanterns came in a variety of shapes: some resembled blossoming flowers, alluring in their beauty; others resembled ethereal birds, ready to take flight; and still others resembled mysterious wonderlands, captivating and captivating.

At the same time, they enthusiastically savored the various local snacks from the roadside stalls. Each bite was imbued with the rich flavors of home and an indescribable warmth of friendship. The familiar taste spread across their tongues, evoking the tenderest memories deep within their hearts. And each dazzling lantern, like a loyal companion on their love journey, silently witnessed every moment they had experienced along the way. Whether it was laughter in joy or tears in sorrow, each lantern etched its mark on the long river of time.

At this moment, Yuan Cong, like a dedicated guardian of a flower, was completely absorbed in guarding his wife. His eyes never left her, constantly monitoring her movements to ensure her safety. Furthermore, he meticulously observed her emotions, using his actions to soothe them. Each of his gentle gestures was filled with boundless affection and love for her; each of his tender glances was like a warm current, quietly flowing into her heart, bringing her unprecedented warmth and happiness.

On this night filled with laughter and joy, Yuan Cong and his wife seemed like the happiest couple in the world. They walked journey after journey together, their hearts connected and elevated as never before. They only wished this moment would forever become one of their most precious memories; they only wished this pure love could blossom forever in their hearts. This unexpected trip to the Lantern Festival only strengthened their mutual love and resolve—no matter how difficult the road ahead, they would walk hand in hand, forever.
