Song Ruozhen froze, realizing the deeper meaning in the man's words, and immediately dared not move. She only said that the place where Chu Junting had hit her felt numb.

"How...how could you hit me?"

Even though the two had already been intimate, they were still newly married and naturally shy, let alone being in public. Her face instantly turned bright red.

Chu Junting noticed the woman's voice, which had unconsciously taken on a coquettish and complaining tone, and it struck a chord with him. He turned his head slightly and couldn't help but sigh, "I shouldn't have come with them."

Song Ruozhen was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh out loud.

She kissed Chu Junting's cheek and thought the man was really cute.

When the two arrived at the observatory, Song Ruozhen was surprised to find that not only were tables and chairs prepared, but also snacks and even warm tea.

"You had it prepared in advance?"

Chu Junting nodded, "I learned about the observatory here during dinner earlier, and thinking you would like it, I had it prepared in advance."

He couldn't just bring her here to be exposed to the cold wind.

Song Ruozhen felt a warmth in her heart and sat down in the chair with a smile. It has to be said that it's hard not to like the feeling of being taken care of in every way.

With a slight shift of her gaze, she saw that a tent had even been set up behind them, indicating that everything was truly prepared.

She looked up at the starry sky and saw that the sky was adorned with countless stars, making it exceptionally beautiful. The ancient sky was extremely clear, and even the stars seemed particularly close.

"This is the first time I've ever seen such a beautiful night sky!"

Looking at the starry sky, Song Ruozhen felt that everything in the world had become insignificant, yet her heart seemed to be able to encompass everything.

This feeling of being immersed in nature and absorbing spiritual energy made her feel exceptionally comfortable.

Chu Junting looked at Song Ruozhen beside him. She seemed to have fallen into a special state without his knowledge, giving him the feeling that she would ascend to heaven at any moment.

He didn't say anything to disturb them, but a sense of tension unconsciously crept into his heart.

When Song Ruozhen came to her senses, she was surprised to find that her metaphysical skills, which she had not improved in for many years, had actually made progress that night!

"Jun Ting, my metaphysical arts have actually broken through!"

Song Ruozhen looked at Chu Junting with surprise. As the sect leader of Xuanmen, she had been practicing metaphysics since childhood, and everyone praised her for her talent.

She could easily master methods that were extremely difficult for others, but later on, her metaphysical skills had not progressed for a long time.

Just like her master, she encountered a bottleneck and made no progress for many years.

Master said that once you make further progress, everything will be different. However, it is extremely difficult to break through. Many people in the Xuanmen sect spend their entire lives without finding the right method.

However, under such unexpected circumstances today, she actually broke through!

Although Chu Junting didn't understand metaphysics, he was a martial artist and naturally knew how difficult it was to break through.

The next moment, he felt the surprise and enthusiasm from his wife.

She sat directly on him, cupped his face in her hands, and happily kissed him!

"Thank you for bringing me here!"

Chu Junting thoroughly enjoyed his wife's embrace, but a single kiss wasn't enough. He wrapped one arm around her waist and deepened the kiss.

……

The next day.

After Chu Yungui woke up, he didn't see his elder brother and sister-in-law for a long time, which made him wonder.

"Your Majesty is not usually a sleepy person, so why are you still not up at this hour?"

"Maybe I'm just tired from being on the boat for the past few days, so I'll sleep a little longer. There's no rush anyway," Gu Huan'er said.

A smile flashed in Song Jingshen's eyes. He knew very well that his younger sister and brother-in-law were not at the inn at the moment.

Yesterday, when he looked out the window, he happened to see the two figures leaving together. It was so late, and they were heading towards the back mountain, so it wasn't hard to guess that they were going to the observatory.

During dinner, he overheard the King of Chu's men questioning the innkeeper. However, thinking that the King of Chu cared so much about his younger sister and remembered her preferences, he was also very happy.

"Just wait, they should be back soon."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Song Jingshen. "What do you mean? Did the Emperor and the others go out?"

When Song Ruozhen woke up in the morning, she found it was already bright outside and couldn't help but worry: "I slept so late, why didn't you wake me up?"

"You're already tired, so you should sleep more. Besides, there's no need to rush when you're out sightseeing. Just do what you feel like, or you'll just tire yourself out."

Chu Junting smiled and reassured them, "Don't worry, I've already asked Yunyang to talk to them. If they can't wait, they can set off first. It's okay if we're a little later."

Song Ruozhen quickly got up and pulled Chu Junting, ready to leave quickly, but saw that Chu Junting was standing still and did not move.

"Aren't you leaving?"

"I'll carry you down the mountain."

Song Ruozhen looked puzzled. "I have the strength now, I can go down the mountain by myself."

"Do you trust me?" the man asked in a gentle voice, patiently waiting for her answer.

Song Ruozhen nodded, "I believe you!"

The next moment, Song Ruozhen witnessed what lightness skill was.

Chu Junting carried her through the mountains and forests at such a speed that he was like a blur.

She only noticed the gentle breeze passing by, the shadowy mountains and forests gliding past her, and soon she reached the foot of the mountain.

She glanced instinctively at the mountains behind her, then suddenly realized, "So, you could actually climb the mountain this fast last night?"

Chu Junting nodded.

"Because I want to carry you a little longer."

Climbing the mountain wasn't the goal; spending time with her was.

When the two returned to the inn, chatting and laughing, they saw four people standing at the entrance.

Eight eyes were staring at them without moving.

"Brother, you guys are so mean! You went out to play by yourselves without taking us with you!" Chu Yungui couldn't help but say.

However, with just one look from Chu Junting, Chu Yungui instantly shut his mouth and a fawning smile appeared on his face.

"Sister-in-law, you must be tired, right? Why don't you rest for a bit and we'll set off again this afternoon?"

Seeing Chu Yungui's discomfiture, Gu Huan'er couldn't help but find it amusing. She had now realized that Prince Yun was fearless, but the one he feared most was Prince Chu.

"I'll go change my clothes and wash up before I leave," Song Ruozhen said with a smile.

Yangzhou Street.

Song Ruozhen looked at the bustling street. Although it was not as grand as the imperial city, it had its own unique characteristics.

Chu Muyao and Gu Huan'er were so captivated by the patterns and colors of the fabrics in the shop that they couldn't tear themselves away.

"This pattern is so beautiful! I've never seen it before. It would be amazing to make a dress out of it!"

Chu Muyao's eyes were full of surprise. She was used to seeing the finest fabrics in the palace. Although these fabrics were not as exquisite as those in the palace, they were colorful and varied, which was a pleasant surprise.

"Then let's buy some to take back. I think the clothes here are a bit different from those in the capital. They make you look especially gentle and elegant." Gu Huan'er nodded with a smile.

Chu Junting accompanied Song Ruozhen as she made her selections. Seeing her occasionally pick up something interesting and look at him, he bought it all with a wave of his hand.

More than these things, he felt that seeing his wife's happy face was the most interesting thing.
