Blooming Pansy — VI

Bidding each other farewell, especially after spending hours together, surrounded by nothing but the most beautiful scenery and the sweet fragrance of flowers, was a bittersweet affair.

As much as Li Xinyuan wanted to stay for a moment longer, he knew he couldn't. However, him hanging around the Crown Prince before their marriage and without a chaperone was already pushing the boundaries of propriety.

And while Li Xinyuan liked the protagonist's company, he knew the future that was set for him. Once married and inside the walls of this Forbidden City, rarely would he be able to leave the palace.

Like a golden bird in a gilded cage, he would be forced to stay perhaps until the day of his death. For a person like him, it was already very overwhelming to think about much less endure it.

Who knew, maybe once he became the Crown Prince's spouse, he may even have to discontinue his medical practice.
