At dusk, Xie Qingyao personally sent Xu Jian back to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion and quickly walked into Qingyuan.

The excitement was restrained, and the beautiful face was full of coldness, but Wei Fulu and Shu Huai knew that Xie Qingyao was extremely happy at this time.

And this happiness is naturally due to getting what you want.

They all knelt down, and every look on their face was filled with joy: "Subordinates and slaves, congratulations to the master."

Xie Qingyao raised his hand slightly: "Get up, everyone in Qingyuan will be rewarded with five taels of silver."

Turning around and heading towards the warehouse, Xie Qingyao personally placed the fireworks he had prepared in advance in the front yard.

When Shu Huai and Wei Fulu saw Xie Qingyao moving in person, they immediately stepped forward to help.

"Don't move." Xie Qingyao stopped him: "It won't be damaged by me."

Wei Fulu bowed his waist and slapped the hand he had just stretched out in ignorance, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, my servant is clumsy, and I can only light a fire for His Highness."

When nearly a hundred barrels of fireworks were set up by Xie Qingyao, the sky was already dark, and Xie Qingyao's joy was so intense that he could not hide it.

Snowflakes began to fall in the sky. After a while, the entire Qingyuan Garden was covered with a layer of white glaze under the candlelight, making it as beautiful as a fairyland on earth.

With no plans to have dinner, Xie Qingyao took out a thick pile of Kongming lanterns painted by himself and walked towards the backyard:

"Xiao Weizi and Shu Huai, wait until the first sky lantern rises and light the fireworks."

The two people who were following Xie Qingyao immediately stopped, each holding a burning incense in their hands, and stood at the ignition points at both ends of the fireworks.

They stood ready and looked in the direction of the backyard. They were afraid that they would light the fire a moment too slowly, which would not reflect Xie Qingyao's full affection for Xu Mingyue.

The sky lanterns were gradually placed on the snow, and the actions that had been rehearsed thousands of times in the dream finally had the opportunity to practice.

The fire wick ignited the candle wick in the Kongming Lantern. The moment the first Kongming Lantern was raised, fireworks lit up the sky over the capital.

Xu Mingyue, who had just left the main courtyard, looked up at the bright and gorgeous fireworks, and then looked at the Kongming lanterns rising one after another from Qingyuan, and tears fell one after another.

The tears that fell this time were not sad or distressed, but the ultimate joy.

She ran quickly towards Wangshu Tower. The more she ran, the more urgent Xu Mingyue became.

Stepping lightly on the stone table with her toes, Xu Mingyue jumped up to the attic of Wangshu Tower amidst the flying snow and fireworks.

Looking down at Xie Qingyao who was lighting the last Kongming Lantern, Xu Mingyue stretched out her hand slightly and caught the white snowflakes dyed with fireworks.

The rising sky lantern seemed to sense Xu Mingyue's call, passing over Xu Mingyue's fingertips, and flew towards the higher sky.

Xu Mingyue saw clearly that what was outlined on the Kongming Lantern was the coral bead bracelet that spanned two lifetimes.

Xu Mingyue tilted her head and smiled.

Xu Mingyue tilted her head and cried again.

Crying a little embarrassed.

Xie Qingyao stood under the courtyard wall and looked up at Xu Mingyue.

Xu Mingyue stood on the attic and looked down at Xie Qingyao.

They looked at each other and smiled, speechless at the moment, but they had already said everything.

Xie Qingyao did not jump to the attic, and Xu Mingyue had no intention of flying into Qingyuan.

Because in the future, Xie Qingyao would walk through the gate of Zhenguo Palace and walk to Xu Mingyue's side.

Until, Xu Mingyue is married home.

As soon as the sun rose in the morning, Xie Qingyao had already put on a dark purple tunic with gold trim, a gold crown on his head, a head full of green silk tied high, and a string of tassels decorated with stars and moons hanging around his waist.

At first glance, this tassel does not match the complicated and expensive clothes.

Wei Fulu knocked on the door, and the joy of the past few days made his face smile a few more times.

"Your Highness, everything for Na Cai has been prepared. I just sent someone to see it. The gate of Zhenguo Duke's Mansion has been opened. Even the stone lion at the door has been tied with red silk."

While in the palace, Xu Jian had already agreed to the marriage in front of everyone.

These are the three books and six etiquettes that everyone else has, and Xie Qingyao is not ambiguous at all.

As for those things that no one else had, Xie Qingyao would also meet Tian'er and give them to Xu Mingyue.

One should not have planned a marriage right after leaving the palace, but the current situation in the capital was full of uncertainties. After discussion, the two parties decided to make the marriage a certainty as soon as possible.

After taking a closer look at his clothes in front of the bronze mirror, Xie Qingyao got up and walked out of the house.

Joy embellishes every part of Xie Qingyao's body, driving away the barrenness accumulated over the years in the dark night, and revealing Xie Qingyao's youthful spirit that he has never had before on his face.

Wei Fulu held the lively wild goose in his hand, followed by eight people carrying heavy gifts, and walked towards the door of the mansion happily.

"Where is my grandfather?"

Shu Huai said: "We will arrive at the gate of the mansion soon. Why don't you let the master and his wife rest for a while before setting off?"

"No." Xie Qingyao shook his head. He could have tea at any time, but Xie Qingyao was afraid that if he was slower, Xu Mingyue would be snatched away.

"I'm a little anxious."

The voice was very low, and it didn't sound like he was talking to Wei Fulu or Shu Huai.

After standing at the gate of Qingyuan and waiting for a while, Chen Hong and Mrs. Yu appeared in Qingyuan with their matchmaker and about twenty servants.

Xie Qingyao held his hands in a deep voice, and his eyes that had transformed from gray to sharp a few days ago were filled with joy at this moment.

“The grandson has met his grandfather and he has met his grandmother.”

Xie Qingyao always called Chen Hong and Yu after his grandparents, but he only added the foreign name when speaking to others.

Chen Hong helped Xie Qingyao up and carefully looked at Xie Qingyao's changes today, his eyes filled with water: "What a good boy, he finally lived a good life."

These words made Yu's eyes unable to hold the tears any longer, and they rushed out of her eyes.

The Xie Qingyao they had seen over the years was a barren mountain. No matter how carefully they irrigated it, no life could grow on it.

It wasn't until Xu Mingyue came back that the tree planted in the heart of the mountain came out of the soil and grew green and colorful, giving the mountain life.

Helping Mrs. Yu towards the Zhenguo Palace, Xie Qingyao's next arrangements were full of urgency:

"In one month's time it will be the day of the moon and the hairpin. My grandson is going to accept the offer today. In about ten days, he will ask for his name and accept the offer. He will wait until the first month of the next year to make the offer."

Looking at Xie Qingyao's anxious look, it's really like Xie Yu's words back then: "You are so careful, be careful of the Xu family members using sticks to beat you."

"No problem."

If he could have his own little moon after being beaten, Xie Qingyao would smile and let everyone in the Xu family beat him every day.

Afraid that his impatience would affect Chen Hong and Yu, Xie Qingyao gave a rare warning:

"When this betrothal gift is given in the coming year, my grandson and Yueyue will be an unmarried couple. As for the specific time for the wedding ceremony, it will be decided by the town government."

Mrs. Yu patted the back of Xie Qingyao's hand: "Don't worry, your grandfather and I are here to propose marriage for you. Since then, the main priority is the Duke and his wife."
