Behind the Qingjiang Palace is a quiet courtyard, where the Crown Prince and Crown Princess live and are rarely disturbed.@@novelbin@@

The crescent moon seemed to hang from the eaves.

In front of the vermilion gate, Zhao Ning paced back and forth a few times before finally stopping and lightly knocking on the door.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Caimei, are you asleep?"

There was a moment of silence in the room, followed by a cold voice, "Does the Crown Prince have to knock on his own door when he returns home? Don't you find it tiring?"

Zhao Ning smiled helplessly and gently pushed open the door. He saw a young girl holding her cheek lazily, half-leaning on the desk reading a book. Her pretty face was illuminated by the bright lights, making her even more beautiful.

Seeing Zhao Ning enter, Li Caimei nodded symbolically and continued to look at the book.

"What are you reading?"

"Liaozhai Zhiyi."

"This book hasn't been officially renamed yet, it's still called Shan Hui Gui Tan."

"The title doesn't match the book."

Hearing Li Caimei's answer, Zhao Ning couldn't help but smile. Since she gave this book to Li Caimei that day, the latter couldn't put it down.

The window was not closed, and the night breeze blew the candles.

The flickering candlelight cast Zhao Ning's shadow on the desk.

Li Caimei was a little annoyed by the flickering and had to raise her head. "The Crown Prince came back early today. Did you finish your official duties?"

"Thanks to your help, the official duties have been reduced!"

"It's not easy!"

Li Caimei pursed her lips and closed the book, adding softly, "There should be more people in the house, so I don't feel like I'm being kept here alone!"

These words were filled with resentment.

Zhao Ning sighed lightly. Although Li Caimei was the Crown Princess, except for the occasions where she needed to attend publicly, she always dressed like a young girl.

This appearance was no different from when they were not yet married.

But the once lively and mischievous girl seemed to have disappeared, leaving only loneliness and desolation in this body.

It was true that even the most vibrant wildflower would wither in this cold palace.

Not knowing what to say, Li Caimei sighed softly, "Forget it! It was my own choice in the first place. Besides, you have done us sisters a favor. I have no reason to blame you."
