The next morning, Xiana woke up to find Licheng absent from the bed. She buried her face in the pillow, reminiscing the memories from the last night. "He left too early," Xiana murmured, the smile didn't fade from her lips.
After freshening up and taking a bath, she adorned herself in a splendid green hanfu, carefully chosen by Licheng. As Xiana twirled, her high-waisted gown swayed in the air, matching the grace of her flowing hair.
"Licheng has truly become a caring husband," Xiana said and smiled brightly. She thanked the attendants for their great work in helping her and went out.
"I thought you already left for the court," Xiana said as her gaze landed on Licheng, who was seated on the floor chair. "Why are you dressed in all white today?" she inquired.
"Lately, I have grown fond of this color," Licheng responded. "Did you sleep well?" Rising from his seat, he approached her, gently taking her hands into his and caressing them.
