War Prince's Mansion, Rain Listening Courtyard.
In the early morning, Xuexue lay sideways on an extremely luxurious bed in the bedroom, her head resting on Long Rui's arm, her long black hair cascading down to her waist, also entwining around Long Rui. The intricate and splendid Yunluo Silk rippled like water beneath her, occasionally wafting a fragrance of sandalwood, serene and beautiful.
Beside the bed was the window, with exquisite carvings and rare wood. Outside the window was a picturesque scene: rockery, a small pond, emerald lotus roots, and pink water lilies. Occasionally, a young maid would pass by, her footsteps so light and her voice so soft, lest she disturb the Prince and madam.
Long Rui played with a lock of Xuexue's hair in his hand, a doting smile on his face, and softly called out, "Dear wife."
"Hmm?" Xuexue responded lazily with her eyes closed, her long lashes fluttering slightly.
"I need to go out for a bit, won't be back for a few days."
"Hmm!"
