We have all the space treasury in hand, so mere exile is nothing.

These days, Chu Qingyun spent a lot of effort to arrange Ye Qingran's birthday ceremony, and if he wanted to make it grand, it was impossible to hide it from Ye Qingran.

But Ye Qingran knew what he was thinking, so she pretended not to know, turning a blind eye and letting him work, lest he feel disappointed when he knew that the surprise he had prepared had been revealed.

Time passed quickly, and the venue was actually chosen in an open space a little further away. Chu Qingyun was so immersed in it that he didn't realize that even the villagers saw what he was doing, and it was even more impossible for Ye Qingran not to know.

When it was Ye Qingran's birthday, he found a reason to lure her over.

Ye Zhuoyu covered her eyes and guided her all the way to the open space.

Although she had been prepared in her heart for a long time, she was still a little nervous when it came to this moment.

Because she knew there would be a surprise prepared by Chu Qingyun today, she also dressed up specially. Even her clothes were brighter than before.

The villagers also finished their work early in the morning and came to watch. Seeing Chu Qingyun dressed very formally and gorgeously, Ye Qingran walked towards him with his eyes covered, holding back what he wanted to say and not disturbing them.

It happened to be evening at this time, and it always gets dark faster in winter, so the light was already dim at this time.

There were lanterns lit in advance on the roadside, illuminating the entire road very brightly.

Chu Qingyun's heartbeat was also very fast. Although he was sure that Ye Qingran would definitely agree to his marriage proposal, he still felt a little worried.

When Ye Qingran walked up to him, he gently took off the cloth from her eyes with his own hands.

"Ran'er...happy birthday."

He took out a brocade box and opened it in front of her.

Inside are the best gems that he sent people to find from the capital, earrings and hairpins that he made by himself.

Ye Qingran's eyes lit up. She knew that Chu Qingyun would hold a grand birthday gift for her, but she really didn't know what he would give her.

The jewelry was a little rougher than what she had seen in the palace before, but it was already very good.

"Did you make it yourself?"

"Well, although it's not that exquisite, I tried my best... Do you like it?"

Ye Qingran nodded and took the jewelry: "I like it very much, thank you."

She hugged him, still a little surprised, but even more moved, moved by the fact that Chu Qingyun was so attentive to her.

She thought he would buy something she liked, or something else, but she didn't expect that he would make jewelry with his own hands for commemoration.

If it were modern times, she might not be so moved, but in the current feudal social situation, it is really rare for him to be willing to spend so much thought on her as a prince.

You must know that under normal circumstances, a man of this status will definitely have three wives and four concubines, but Chu Qingyun is different. She can feel at ease and confirm her position in his heart.

After a long time, the two separated.

Chu Qingyun's eyes were blazing: "In addition to your birthday gift today, I have one more thing to give you."

"besides?"

Ye Qingran opened his eyes wide.

It was just a birthday, and she felt very satisfied with these jewelry, but she didn't expect that she still had them.

She just watched as Chu Qingyun took out a jade token from his arms. Before she could see it clearly, he put it directly into her hand, as if he was afraid that she would not accept it.

"I, the Xiaoyao King, Chu Qingyun, have now formally proposed to Ye Qingran. I hope you can become my Xiaoyao Princess. Are you... willing?"

When she heard this, she was stunned, and then she saw the words on the jade plate clearly.

"Princess Xiaoyao..."

This is something that can represent her identity. Although they cannot get married due to their current situation, this is the guarantee he gave her. Even if they don't get married, she will still be his Xiaoyao Princess.

Seeing that she didn't speak, he was a little panicked. He was worried that she would not agree, but she didn't want to embarrass him, so he could only wait anxiously.

When she came back to her senses, she met his scared eyes, and then chuckled: "What are you afraid of? Of course I am willing."

She said seriously and said word by word, "I don't mind the eyes of the world, and I don't even care about life or death. I don't care about the name of Princess Xiaoyao. As long as I'm with you, I can do anything."

"it is good."

Chu Qingyun finally felt relieved and embraced her again.

Only then did the villagers dare to congratulate loudly. The scene was lively, and some people began to congratulate them on the happy marriage.

In the midst of the cheers, there was a sudden cry, which seemed very out of place.

Hearing the noise, the people turned their heads and looked over, only to find that it was Tian Wenwen.

She knelt on the ground with red eyes, and her father and mother were beside her. In such a lively and happy atmosphere, they were dressed in white, which was really a bit embarrassing.

Chu Qingyun and Ye Qingran also noticed the movement here, so they separated and looked over together.

The villagers felt that it was a bit too much for them to dress like this and cry like this in such a good atmosphere, so they began to gather around and persuade them to leave, not to affect the warmth of the two of them here, without asking them why they were like this.

But Tian Wenwen refused and cried even harder.

"Please ask the prince to make the decision for us!"

After hearing this, the villagers didn't know what to say, so they all looked at Chu Qingyun.

Chu Qingyun was a little unhappy, but still asked: "What's going on?"

"Your Majesty, although Zhao Zhiming is your brother, he deceived me about my feelings and made me pregnant. Then he threatened me to kill my child. If I refused, he wanted to kill me. Fortunately, my brother arrived in time. He saved me, but he killed me for it! Please make the decision for my brother and our family!”

Tian Wenwen cried heartbreakingly, and the villagers started talking after hearing this.

Usually, they have a pretty good impression of Zhao Zhiming, perhaps because of the relationship of "the prince's good brother". As long as Zhao Zhiming doesn't do anything too extreme, they all think it's okay.

But now the words coming out of Tian Wenwen's mouth are really shocking.

Although Zhao Zhiming is usually honest and kind, Tian Wenwen doesn't seem to be telling lies.

Everyone in the village knew that Wenwen's parents wanted Wenwen to marry Zhao Zhiming, and it was obvious that the two of them were close, but they didn't expect that such a murder would happen.

Many people died during their lean years, but even when they were most hungry, they did not kill people without conscience. I never expected that such a decent Zhao Zhiming would do such a thing.

Before Chu Qingyun could say anything, Zhao Zhiming hurried over and looked very nervous.

When he saw the Wenwen family kneeling in front of Chu Qingyun in mourning clothes, he knew he was late, but he still didn't know what Tian Wenwen said.
