After three years away, standing before the mighty gates emblazoned with the words 'Crown Prince Mansion' in flamboyant strokes, Long Yuyao felt a stir of emotion, his mind awash with countless thoughts.
Ever since he turned one year old, his parents, the King and Mother Wang, used to take him and his siblings on travels across the land every year, saying, 'It is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books.' Their purpose was for them to witness the customs of different places, thereby broadening their knowledge and enriching their experiences.
Three years ago, Mother Wang convinced his royal grandfather and the King to let him travel alone, and eventually, they had given their consent.
Now, on the verge of reuniting with his deeply missed mother, he felt a surge of excitement, yet there was also a hint of trepidation as he neared his hometown.
