Her hair was cloud-like and beautiful! She opened her eyes and found herself back in the third year

The fleeting light of dreams, in varying shades and sparse patterns, is like the sunlight filtering through the branches and leaves of a warm spring. When the wind blows, the light shimmers slightly, and time passes peacefully.

When she woke up, the sun was already slightly setting. Instead of calling for Lü Qiao to come in and serve her as usual, she put on her shoes, got out of bed, walked to the window, and opened it to look at the sky.

Seeing that it was still early, she sighed softly, feeling a sense of loss.

As she was doing her hair in front of the mirror, looking at her beautiful face as delicate as a peach blossom, she suddenly saw someone behind her, who placed a white jade hairpin carved into a begonia flower branch in her hair.

Jade hairpins differ from gold hairpins. While gold hairpins may not exude grandeur, they are more elegant and dignified.

Qin Yizhen reached out and touched herself. Looking at her reflection in the mirror, her eyebrows were curved, and her eyes seemed to be touched by the warm breeze of early spring. She couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"Why are you only coming back now!" Her voice was very soft, gentle and coquettish, as if she were pleading.

"Are you getting impatient?" He looked at the two people leaning on each other in the mirror. The man was handsome and tall, and the woman was charming and beautiful. They were a perfect match, and he was very satisfied.

"It was my fault for keeping you waiting, my wife. You may scold or beat me as you please."

He kept calling her "wife," and Qin Yizhen's ears turned red. She wanted to tell him not to call her that, but then she thought that there was nothing wrong with it.

She sniffed and said softly, "I'm not going to hit you. You're so stiff, and my hand hurts."

"Where does it hurt? Let me rub it for you."

"Never."

Qin Yizhen had just said that one sentence and hadn't had time to say anything else when he suddenly picked her up horizontally. If she hadn't quickly covered her mouth, she would have almost screamed out loud.

After calming down, she patted her chest and angrily slapped his chest: "What are you doing?"

"Shall we elope?"

"No way." Qin Yizhen snorted. She didn't like the word 'elope' at all. "If you want to take me away, you have to marry me first. What's the point of eloping?"

"Okay, I'll marry you."

No matter how many difficulties there are, he will marry her if she is willing.

After saying that, he picked her up and walked out.

"Hey! Wait a minute! Where are you going?" Qin Yizhen was startled again, reaching out to grab his collar and hurriedly asking him.

"Of course, I'll marry you."

Qin Yizhen's face turned bright red instantly, and she couldn't help but say, "There are still people outside, so please put me down quickly."

"Are you really going to let me go?" he asked, somewhat reluctantly.

"Hurry up."

Cheng Yan had no choice but to put her down. However, as soon as he did, she grabbed his hand and ran outside, laughing as she ran, "Come on, let's elope..."

Cheng Yan was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

When he smiled, his eyebrows and eyes relaxed, and his cold and stern face seemed to melt away in an instant. The spring flowers reflected in his eyes left only a dazzling spring scene.

When he smiled, for a fleeting moment he resembled Emperor Jing'an's smiling phoenix eyes.

"Alright, I'll elope with you."

Because she was going to the lantern festival today, Qin Yizhen changed into a comfortable long dress and shoes early in the morning. It was very convenient for her to go out now. She could run without any problem by slightly lifting the hem of her skirt.

The sunset was brilliant, just like the day she married him. He brought her out of the palace, and the sunset accompanied her all the way, its glow spreading along the way, as if he were paving the way for her life.

She thought that since he came to pick her up today, she would consider it as if she were marrying him.

It wasn't Princess Yizhen who married Marquis Pingxi, but rather Qin Yizhen who married Cheng Yan.

I wish to spend my life with him, sharing both glory and hardship, and never abandoning him even in death...

She pulled him by the hand and ran all the way from the inner courtyard to the outer courtyard, and then to the main gate of the Marquis of Pingxi's mansion.

He had come back to pick her up for the lantern festival, so there happened to be a carriage parked at the entrance. She lifted her skirt slightly to get into the carriage, but Cheng Yan reached out to help her to prevent her from falling.

After she boarded the carriage, Cheng Yan also stepped onto the carriage, and then Lü Qiao hurriedly ran over carrying a package.

"Princess, please wait for me! Even if you're eloping, you can't leave me behind! If you leave me behind, who will comb your hair and keep you company?"

Qin Yizhen, who had just sat down in the carriage, suddenly remembered that she had forgotten about her personal maid. Hearing what she said, she couldn't help but blush.

Cheng Yan immediately assured him, "It's alright. Even without her, I'll comb your hair and keep you entertained."

This sounds as if they're really going to abandon everything and elope. Qin Yizhen covered her face with her hands. Cheng Yan chuckled, then reached out and pulled her into his arms.

Cheng Yan didn't speak loudly, but he didn't lower his voice either. Everyone outside the car heard him, and Lü Qiao's face immediately fell.

She wanted to say, "Your Excellency, you can't do this," but she didn't dare to utter a sound and could only put on a pitiful expression.

Song Nian suppressed a laugh, reached out to lift the bundle in her hands, and let her sit with the driver on the platform in front of the carriage: "Miss Lü Qiao, hurry up and get on, if we delay any longer, the princess will really elope with the marquis."

"Oh dear, looking at the Marquis just now, it was truly unbearable to watch. Tsk tsk tsk, his eyes were practically going blind."

Song Nian is probably the first person to dare to tease Cheng Yan like this.

Lu Qiao was carrying Qin Yizhen's change of clothes and belongings in her arms. It looked like a single package, but it was actually quite heavy. Seeing that someone was helping her, she was naturally happy to do so. She took a breath and praised, "Song Nian, you are so loyal. When Hong Ying comes back next time, I will send someone to deliver the message to you."

"That's wonderful, thank you very much, Miss Lüqiao." Songnian became even more attentive. "Miss Lüqiao, please slow down."

The guards on the side all turned their heads. They had just said that the Marquis was too ugly to watch, but they were not like that themselves. Tsk tsk!

Sitting on the carriage floor, holding the bundle, Lü Qiao felt a chill in her heart. She thought to herself that she should urge the princess to find her a husband. Otherwise, everyone else would be in pairs while she was all alone, which made her look so pitiful.

Once everyone was seated in the carriage, the driver drove off towards the bustling market.

Qin Yizhen hid in Cheng Yan's arms for a while, and only came out when the carriage slowly drove forward.

Cheng Yan smiled, kissed the corner of her lips, his eyes full of indulgence, and then kissed her earlobe. He actually asked her, "Where shall we elope?"

They even mentioned eloping.

Qin Yizhen was embarrassed and annoyed, and reached out to pinch his arm: "Be serious."

"I'm serious. You said you wanted to elope, so I'll go with you, okay?"

Cheng Yan was eager to try, which showed that he was really interested in this suggestion.

Although he knew in his heart that it was impossible.

They still have Empress Dowager Cheng, Emperor Jing'an, and Princess Huizhen to take care of; they can't just abandon them and leave.

Moreover, where there are people, there will be conflict. If they have no power, they may be bullied.

It may be impossible, but surely he can at least think about it.
