Originally meant as a teasing remark, upon hearing Xiao Yao's words, He Yu's breath suddenly became heavy, and deep down, he felt a softness akin to a green lake. He grabbed Xiao Yao and pulled her close, saying, "I really want to make you mine right now."
"You just swore an oath; you have to follow the ancestral rules," Xiao Yao immediately reminded him of their earlier conversation, watching He Yu warily.
He Yu smiled slightly, "Yes, I will. However, it shouldn't be too much to take some benefits first." With that, he gently pressed a kiss on Xiao Yao's lips. Xiao Yao's eyes widened in surprise, and after He Yu pulled away, she touched her lips with her fingers, seemingly startled by his action.
"What's wrong? Don't you like it?" He Yu was somewhat uncertain about her expression and felt a bit anxious.
Xiao Yao's face turned red as she buried her face in He Yu's neck and shook her head gently.
At that moment, He Yu understood and couldn't help but chuckle softly; his Yao Yao was actually shy.
The car stopped at the entrance of the market in the southern part of the city, and He Yu got out and carried Xiao Yao down.
After their intimate exchange in the car, their relationship naturally grew closer. He Yu held Xiao Yao's hand as they strolled through the streets without any particular destination in mind.
The streets of the capital were laid out like a chessboard, neatly arranged with north-south and east-west roads.
The southern part of the city had always been home to noble families and officials, so naturally, the market here was more organized than in the northern part, with higher-quality goods and plenty of restaurants. As Xiao Yao dragged He Yu along, looking at the numerous restaurants, she curiously asked, "Why didn't we come here to eat earlier?"
"I thought it would be less crowded over there and we wouldn't be disturbed," He Yu explained. "But I didn't expect to be interrupted anyway."
At this point, He Yu's eyes showed a hint of apology. "Weren't you full? Should we go somewhere later for some snacks or something?"
Xiao Yao shook her head. "Not really; I was just curious. I'm not hungry right now."
He Yu nodded and didn't ask further.
Since they had come out purely for fun, their intentions were not strong; they simply wandered around the streets enjoying each other's company.
He Yu was truly too eye-catching, to the point that Xiao Yao following him also became one of the targets for people's attention. He Yu remained indifferent, completely ignoring these onlookers, but Xiao Yao couldn't do the same. She had never experienced such a high frequency of being the center of attention, making her constantly wonder if there was something stuck on her face from when she was eating earlier, as she kept touching her face.
Seeing Xiao Yao's uncomfortable demeanor, with her hand incessantly touching her face, He Yu found it quite adorable. He chuckled softly and leaned down to whisper in Xiao Yao's ear, "It's fine. Just let them look a few more times; you'll get used to it."
"..." Xiao Yao was speechless. She thought He Yu would have more comforting and understanding words for her, but instead, he only said this one line, which was simply an expression of thick-skinned confidence.
However, this feeling of discomfort gradually faded away as they continued walking, mainly because too many people were greeting He Yu...
After just a few steps, someone would rush over. "This official greets the prince."
"Ah, Zhang Daren, long time no see."
"Yes, yes! And this is...?" These officials who wanted to curry favor with He Yu couldn't just greet him and leave; they naturally felt compelled to chat a bit. As a result, the focus of the conversation inevitably shifted to Xiao Yao.
"This is the future Consort Xuanping." He Yu stated concisely. The person opposite him immediately showed an understanding expression; so this was the princess that the prince brought back from Jiangnan! The official then spoke up, "The prince's taste is indeed exceptional! Such a beauty deserves the prince; it's truly a wonderful match!"
"Good, good." He Yu thickened his skin and showed no signs of modesty.
As for Xiao Yao?
At first, when complimented like this, she displayed a shy and embarrassed expression. After meeting a few more people, she transitioned to a composed smile. Later on... Xiao Yao successfully exploded in frustration, "Why are they so idle?! Don't they have anything better to do today?!"
"Today is a holiday; naturally, they have nothing to do." He Yu cleared his throat, his tone laced with amusement.
"..." Xiao Yao looked at He Yu in disbelief. After a moment, she quickly realized, "Oh! You brought me out on purpose today, didn't you?"
He Yu did not deny it and smiled as he wrapped his arm around Xiao Yao's waist. "You finally figured it out."
Indeed, today He Yu specifically brought Xiao Yao out. After the incident with Sun Ruoyun, he felt that his desire to "hide his beauty in a golden house" seemed somewhat unrealistic. He originally planned to marry Xiao Yao, build a magnificent royal residence for her, shield her from the storms outside, and ensure that she wouldn't have to worry about anything in her life—she could simply enjoy life carefree in the palace he built for her.
However, the matter concerning Sun Ruoyun made He Yu feel as if he had been slapped awake.
That's right, he is a prince, the first non-royal prince of the Great Feng Dynasty. How could his princess not be known to the world? If she continued to hide in the house, who would know what might happen next? Moreover, there would inevitably be busybodies speculating that he did not favor Xiao Yao enough, which was why he kept silent about such matters in front of everyone.
Having realized this, He Yu felt that this matter could not be left to others; he needed to personally announce to the world that Xiao Yao was his He Yu's princess and also his treasured jewel.
Thus, he took action against Sun Ruoyun, and the Sun Family suffered as well. This was to tell everyone that anyone who dared to touch his He Yu's princess would not have a good outcome. Yet that was not enough; he wanted to personally bring Xiao Yao out. He wanted to show everyone how much he valued Xiao Yao. Although they were not yet married, their affection for each other was very strong. This was his purpose today.
However, today Xiao Yao accepted his kiss, which was an unexpected delight for him.
Looking at the increasingly agitated Xiao Yao, He Yu knew that if this continued, Xiao Yao might really get angry. So he quickly smoothed her ruffled feathers, saying, "Alright, don't be angry. I'll take you to a nice place later."
"A nice place? What nice place?" Xiao Yao looked at He Yu suspiciously. "You’re not planning something weird again, are you? There won't be any strange people again, right?"
"How could that be!" He Yu quickly swore, "There will definitely be no strange people, I promise!"
