Emperor Beichen's gaze swept across the people around him, and in the next moment, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he directly took hold of Bai Li Hongzhuang's hand, closing the distance between them. It was like a declaration, informing everyone of their intimate relationship.
Even though Emperor Beichen and Bai Li Hongzhuang were already married, this bold move still astonished many people present. In this era of strict customs, such actions went against the norms of propriety.
However, some young couples in love, upon witnessing Emperor Beichen's gesture, showed envy on their faces.
"I've heard before that the relationship between Emperor Beichen and the empress is extremely good, but seeing it with my own eyes now makes me realize how strong their feelings are."
"Yes, it's truly admirable. I wonder if I'll ever find someone as devoted in my lifetime."
Bai Li Hongzhuang was also taken aback by Emperor Beichen's sudden action, and for a moment, she considered letting go of his hand. But upon further reflection, she realized there was no need.
She understood Emperor Beichen's feelings for her, as well as her own heart. Since they had already decided to be together, there was no need to fear the judgment of others. They were a couple, plain and simple!
Bai Li Hongzhuang was always open and forthright. Now that they were together, there was no need to hide it. She wanted everyone to know that they were together!
Feeling Bai Li Hongzhuang's firm grasp, Emperor Beichen's smile grew wider. His eyes, as dark as ink, shimmered with an unprecedented brightness.
Emperor Beichen quickened his pace and walked proudly with Bai Li Hongzhuang back to the Prince's Residence.
At the same time, news of Emperor Beichen's recovery spread rapidly throughout the entire imperial city.
Word spread like wildfire, and in a short span of time, everyone in the city became aware of this news.
Upon their return to the Prince's Residence, Bai Li Hongzhuang couldn't help but ask, "Beichen, why did you suddenly walk so fast?"
Emperor Beichen narrowed his eyes, his expression carrying a hint of dissatisfaction. "Don't you know those guys were constantly leering at you? I couldn't stand it."
Throughout their journey, he felt the gaze of every man focused on Bai Li Hongzhuang. Those lustful and fantasizing looks made him very uncomfortable.
With Emperor Beichen's words, Bai Li Hongzhuang couldn't help but chuckle. "Nonsense, it's not like you described it."
Emperor Beichen took a step forward, bringing himself closer to Bai Li Hongzhuang's body. "In my eyes, it is."
Bai Li Hongzhuang took a step back, pressing her body against the wall. "You're being too domineering."
Emperor Beichen reached out his right hand, placing it against the back of Bai Li Hongzhuang's head, pulling them closer. "I'm just that domineering. You are mine, and mine alone."
His low and seductive voice carried a hint of jealousy. With such a beautiful wife, countless men might have improper thoughts. He couldn't allow anyone to take advantage. His wife was his and his alone!
Hearing Emperor Beichen's domineering declaration, Bai Li Hongzhuang felt a mix of helplessness and amusement, yet also a sense of joy. She had always known Emperor Beichen's pride, but she never realized he could be so possessive.
As Bai Li Hongzhuang chuckled, Emperor Beichen's eyes grew deeper, and his voice became even lower. "My dear, do you think... I'm wrong?"
