"You should have heard that the person I'm in love with is Su Yimo."

The man's voice was casual and seemingly unserious, yet it possessed a magnetic and intimidating power.

As he spoke, Yun Yao secretly glanced at him.

She wore a red dress embroidered with gold, with a matching gold-threaded belt cinching her waist, outlining her slender and powerful figure.

Her black hair was tied up and secured with a gilded crown.

Tall and elegant, with a face like a painting, and a cold and aloof gaze, he exuded an indescribable air of handsome nobility.

"..." Although Yun Yao hadn't received the plot yet, it didn't stop her from saying whatever she wanted. "Yeah, I know."

His peach blossom eyes were both cold and affectionate. "So, you should behave yourself as the Crown Princess, but don't expect me to give you anything more."

"……Oh"

……

Half an hour ago.

As soon as Yun Yao arrived in this world, she heard a lot of noise around her, and then she was led into a room.

A red cloth was covering her eyes, so she could only look down at the floor or at her own clothes...

She wore a bright red cloud-woven gold skirt, with a jade pendant inlaid with gold and green on her waist.

She wore a banded ring with three colored gemstones on her finger.

She wore a pair of red gold filigree bracelets on her wrist.

This was clearly not a marriage privilege that ordinary families could afford.

"Your Highness, please eat something to fill your stomach first. We don't know when the Crown Prince will arrive."

A maid handed over a plate of pastries, but just as she was about to place it in Yun Yao's hand, she withdrew it, taking away two-thirds of the contents.

"Tonight is going to be quite a commotion, so it's best to eat less to avoid an upset stomach."

"..."

The maid even placed a handkerchief on Yun Yao's legs to prevent the pastries from breaking and falling onto her clothes.

Yun Yao took the pastries and lifted the veil...

The maidservant quickly stopped her.

"Your Highness, you cannot lift your veil yourself; you must wait for the Crown Prince to do so!"

"...It's just you and me here. As long as you don't tell anyone, no one will know."

Yun Yao ate while wearing a veil, having to hold the veil with one hand and hold the snacks with the other, which was really tiring.

"If the veil is lifted, trouble will surely follow, Miss. We are outside, not at home. We need to be more careful. What if we bring bad luck upon ourselves?"

"...", I didn't realize this little maid was so superstitious.

Yun Yao took a bite of pastry and mumbled, "Okay, I won't lift it."

The maid was still muttering to herself, "Now that we're in the Crown Prince's residence, without the protection of the master and mistress, if we really cause any trouble, we'll suffer a lot."

"...", does her statement mean that marrying into the Crown Prince's residence is very dangerous?

After eating a few pastries, Yunyao patted her stomach and still felt a little hungry.

Given how complicated weddings were in ancient times, she probably hadn't eaten anything all day... otherwise she wouldn't be so hungry.

"By the way, Miss, Young Master Han asked me to give this to you."

The maid took out a white jade hairpin from her waist.

"It's a pity that Young Master Han was unable to personally present this hairpin to you."

Yun Yao took the hairpin, somewhat surprised. This young master Han had the original owner's maid deliver a hairpin to her?

Did the original owner's maid have a good relationship with that young master Han?

Furthermore, on her wedding day, she had her maid deliver a hairpin to her.

Such excessive behavior of privately exchanging gifts...

Does that young master Han not know the consequences of doing this?

"I want to rest for a while, you can go out first."

"But Miss..."

"Are you disobeying your young lady's orders?"

"Miss, please don't be angry. This servant will take her leave now."

Hearing the sound of the door opening and closing, Yun Yao pulled off her veil, walked to the dressing table on the other side of the room, and casually tossed the white jade hairpin into the makeup box.

The person in the dressing table mirror had exquisite makeup, and a touch of bright red floral decoration between her eyebrows added to her charming beauty.

She wore a gold-embellished tassel headdress, with a pair of gold flower hairpins and a pair of red gold South Sea pearl hairpins symmetrically inserted in her hair.

A gold-inlaid jade earring adorns her earlobe.

Her hair ornament tassels hung down, swaying gently with each light step.

It was at this moment that Xiao Yan pushed open the door and entered.

And just then, I saw the beautiful woman's posture in the mirror.

The person pushed the door open slowly, so they didn't make any noise that could alert anyone.

Yun Yao, unaware that someone had entered, tossed the white jade hairpin into her makeup box and prepared to continue searching for something to eat...

She turned around, her gaze first falling on the pastries on the table... and then on the man.

Yun Yao's mind went blank for half a second, then she quickly picked up the red veil and covered herself with it.

"Heh, the Crown Princess is far too impatient," the voice said in a clear tone with a hint of mockery.

As Xiao Yan spoke, he picked up the wedding scale and lifted the bright red veil from her head.

She revealed her charming and alluring face.

Yun Yaojiao's eyelashes trembled as she looked up at him shyly.

Her voice was weak as she said, "I was just a little hungry and wanted to eat something, so I lifted the veil first."

Xiao Yan's lips curled into a cold smile, his tone laced with malice, "I almost forgot, you haven't eaten anything all day."

Yun Yao finally understood the meaning behind the maid's words. With this guy around, she might have to pray to Buddha to have a peaceful life.

He was out eating and drinking, while she was here alone, starving and thirsty, and then he said to her, "I almost forgot..."

Excessive.

Yun Yao was still internally complaining...

Xiao Yan suddenly bent down, leaned close to her, and then raised his hand to gently pinch the crumbs from the corner of her mouth.

"I am full?"

The warm breath he exhaled as he spoke sprayed onto Yun Yao's neck, causing a ticklish sensation.

Yun Yao slightly turned her head to avoid it.

She blinked her long, curled eyelashes, her amber eyes clear and bright.

Her eyes and brows exuded a captivating and alluring charm.

"I only ate a few pieces, and I wasn't full at all."

Her voice carried a hint of dissatisfaction, a soft groan.

Xiao Yan's lips curled up slightly, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. "Hmph, you blame me for not having enough to eat?"

Yun Yao thought to herself, "Who dares to blame him?!"

However, she still smiled obsequiously and said, "Of course not."

Xiao Yan had no doubt that if he reached out and gently stroked her face right now, she would definitely rub against his palm in a flattering manner.

He curled his fingers, and a sudden itch welled up inside him, an indescribable itch that was hard to bear.

Xiao Yan took a step back, sat down in a chair, and picked up a porcelain cup to play with in his hand.

"You should have heard that the person I'm in love with is Su Yimo."

Yun Yao hadn't had time to process the plot and had no idea who was who, but... "Hmm, I know."

"So, you should just be a dutiful Crown Princess, but don't expect me to give you anything more."

"……Oh."

As Yun Yao spoke, the tassels swayed gently.

Occasionally, a glance at her face, shoulders, and neck draws even more attention to her soft, delicate skin.

Xiao Yan lowered his eyes slightly, concealing the emotions within them.

"I heard you like Han Yicheng?"

"..."

"Even if you like him, now that you've married into the Crown Prince's household, you shouldn't have any further contact with him, lest you embarrass me."

"..."

"Can't you understand?"

"...I heard you."

Xiao Yan got up, pulled out the dagger hidden in his sleeve, lifted the quilt, cut his finger, and dripped the blood onto the white handkerchief.

Yun Yao stared blankly at Xiao Yan's actions, her beautiful face expressionless.
