Farewell Flower Festival

Two days before the wedding, something was delivered to the Han Mansion.

The things were handed to Han Lie. He opened the box and saw the bracelet inside. He smiled but his eyes were cold.

Once you put on the heart-shaped bracelet, you can’t take it off unless it breaks.

But the bracelet she had someone send to her was not broken, so she must have pulled it off forcibly.

He still underestimated her. She was more resolute than anyone else, and more naive than anyone else.

Do you think giving him a bracelet that's not broken will make him feel happier?

He picked up the bracelet and held it in his palm. If he applied a little force, the bracelet would break.

The glittering and brilliant light flowed in the fox's eyes, like a dream.

……

The butler hurried to report to Han Luo, "Master, it's bad. The second master went to the palace to grab the bride." Han Luo looked at the book in his hand and asked calmly, "When did he go?" The butler replied, "An hour ago." Han Luo said, "Wait a little longer."

An hour ago, Han Lie rushed to the Xiaoyao Palace on horseback and broke in without waiting for the servant's report. Soon the news reached Shen He.

When Shen He came over, the guards in the mansion had already surrounded Han Lie, and Shen Ming and Han Lie were in a standoff.

"I want to see the princess." Han Lie said.

Shen He's expression darkened a little, and he said in a serious tone: "The wedding is coming soon, Second Young Master, stop messing around."

At this time Shen Cheng also rushed over. He hadn't figured out what was going on yet. He only heard that Han Lie broke in alone. Then he heard what Han Lie said next, and he looked surprised.

"If I can't see the princess today, I'll come again tomorrow. If I can't see her tomorrow, I'll come again the day after tomorrow." Han Lie curled his lips and smiled, "Your Majesty doesn't want to cause a big uproar in the city, right?"

Shen He's face darkened even more.

Shen Cheng said angrily: "Why do you want to see Xue'er? The emperor personally granted the marriage, do you want to snatch the bride?"

Han Lie said: "Then let's see if I dare to snatch the bride."

"You!" Shen Cheng was so angry that his face turned red. After a long pause, he said, "Are you sick?"

Han Lie laughed and said, "I am sick, otherwise I wouldn't barge in like a madman."

Shen Cheng was speechless.

The next moment, Han Lie fixed his gaze in one direction and said with a smile, "The princess is here."

Shen He glanced at Chao Yan, asked the guards to leave first, and called Shen Ming and Shen Cheng to leave first.

"Dad, nothing will happen, right?" Shen Cheng looked back worriedly, afraid that Han Lie would really try to steal the bride away.

Shen He said: "Xue'er will not change her decision, it's better to make it clear."

"Dad, if this gets out..." Shen Cheng was still worried.

Shen He said: "Then say that I came to see you."

Shen Cheng: “……?”

After the two of them were left, silence lasted for a while.

Han Lie suddenly approached and grabbed Chao Yan's wrist when she stepped back. Seeing the bandage on her wrist, he raised his lips in a sarcastic smile, "Wouldn't it be easier to just break it?" His fingers tightened a little, and the pain in her wrist deepened a little. Chao Yan frowned slightly.

Han Lie let go of her hand and said sarcastically, "If the Fourth Prince sees your wedding night, aren't you afraid that he will be sad?"

Chao Yan said: "Apply the ointment and it will be fine in two days."

Han Lie laughed at himself and asked, "Do you like the Fourth Prince because you met him first?"

Zhao Yan slowly told the story of the past, "I used to have a scar on my face. When I first met His Highness, His Highness asked me if I would have nightmares at night because I looked like this. He also said that I would never get married in the future and no one would want to marry me. I thought he was really annoying at the time. A dog can't spit out ivory. If it weren't for Uncle Wu's cooking skills, I wouldn't have stayed to serve him tea. Later, I found that he wasn't that annoying. Although he was a little mean and thoughtful, and he would give me the cold shoulder at every turn, he would protect me when I was in danger, and he always liked to peek at me, but he insisted that he was checking to see if I was working hard."

At this point, she couldn't help but smile, and then said seriously, "Before I met you, I had never thought about marrying Your Highness. Remember that time at the horse racing meeting, you deliberately scared me, but Your Highness was protecting me. Zhao Huan wanted to race with Your Highness, and the bet was me. Your Highness said he wanted to bet bigger with him, betting his life. Perhaps from that time on, Your Highness became different in my heart." She raised her hand and pointed to her heart, and said with a smile, "I've been moved, and there's nothing I can do."

Han Lie looked at her chest and knew that he had lost completely. He smiled, a smile mixed with a bit of loneliness and relief, and told Chao Yan something as a wedding gift to her.

He rode away from the palace, his back looking elegant yet lonely.

On the second floor of the teahouse, Mu Tianling saw Han Lie riding away on his horse. His brows relaxed and he stood up and walked to the railing, quietly looking at the clear sky in the distance.

……

As it grew darker, Han Luo asked the butler to prepare a carriage.

The carriage headed towards Yuquan Temple.

When Han Luo saw Han Lie, he was sitting by the spring in a daze.

There is a clear spring on Yuquan Mountain, which is hidden and seldom visited by people.

This is Han Lie's secret base, and only Han Luo knows about it. Whenever he encounters something he can't figure out, he will come to the spring and sit in a daze.

"Cough..." Han Luo coughed.

The mountain breeze was cold, blowing on his face, but Han Lie was unaware of it until he heard a cough. He knew that his elder brother had come.

"Do you want to sit here and freeze to death for love?" Han Luo asked.

Han Lie said nothing.

Han Luo walked over, stood by the spring and looked at his reflection on the water.

"Brother, what am I missing?" Han Lie asked.

Han Luo replied: "You are not bad in any way, it's just that the girl doesn't like you."

It was a very accurate remark. Han Lie stopped talking.

Another gust of cold mountain wind blew by, and Han Luo coughed.

Han Lie said: "Brother, you go back first."

Han Luo asked, "Will I come back to collect your body in two days?" Then he asked, "Do you regret almost losing your life to save others?"

Han Lie was silent for a few seconds, then asked, "Does Big Brother regret it?"

Han Luo looked at the calm water and said nothing.

……

On the wedding day, the groom Mu Tianling came to pick up the bride in person.

When Shen Cheng was sending the bride Chao Yan out, Shen He's eyes were red and he couldn't help but call out Xue'er. He chased after him and told Mu Tianling to treat his daughter well. If his daughter suffered any grievances, don't blame him, the father-in-law, for settling the score with him.

Mu Tianling solemnly promised Chaoyan that he would stay with her forever and never let her suffer any grievances.

"Dad, you have to take care of yourself too." Chao Yan's voice was a little choked, and tears were already hanging on her face, which was blocked by the round fan.

When she got on the bridal sedan, Chao Yan couldn't hold back her tears any longer, tears in her eyes fell like beads with broken string. She comforted herself not to cry, it was not like she would not see him anymore in the future, if she cried and ruined her makeup, she would definitely be laughed at during the wedding ceremony.

She wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, pulled aside the curtain, looked forward at Mu Tianling's back, and smiled with her eyes curved.

When the bride and groom who bowed to heaven and earth were replaced by her and Mu Tianling, the scene she had once imagined became a reality at this moment. It felt like a fairy tale had finally come true. She found her knight, her prince, the person she wanted to spend her life with.

In the bridal chamber, the two drank the wedding wine together. Jadeite and Amber scattered red dates, longans, chestnuts, peanuts and other fruits on the wedding bed inside the bed curtains. Eunuch Wu cut a strand of hair from each of them, tied it into a heart-shaped knot and placed it under the pillow. Everyone congratulated the two on their happy marriage and their everlasting love.

Then Mu Tianling went out to entertain the guests and toast. Jadeite and Amber stayed in the bridal chamber to accompany Chaoyan. Eunuch Wu and the others left first.

The dragon and phoenix candles illuminate the hibiscus tent, and the night outside the window deepens.

Chaoyan sat on the edge of the bed, feeling the phoenix crown on her head was a little heavy, she was a little hungry, and a little nervous. When she heard the knock on the door, she blushed with nervousness and held the round fan upright, afraid that someone would notice that she was blushing.

Feicui went over and opened the door, and Qianfeng handed a food box to Feicui, which was sent by Mu Tianling.

Feicui carried the food box to the table, opened it and said with a smile, "Come and have something to eat, young lady. His Highness will not finish for a while."

Chaoyan calmed herself down silently, fanned herself with a round fan, and then came over to eat, all of which were her favorite foods.

When there was a knock on the door again, Chao Yan was so frightened that she almost dropped her chopsticks.

Jade went over and opened the door, Mu Tianling walked in, and Jade asked Amber to leave together.

When Mu Tianling came over, Chao Yan's face turned red like a cooked crab, and she didn't dare to look up at him. Seeing her nervous and shy appearance, Mu Tianling unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth. After sitting down next to her, he deliberately leaned close to her ear and asked in a low voice, "Are you scared?"

Chao Yan's face was as red as a ripe tomato. She raised her shy eyes secretly and glanced at him, which aroused his heart like a kitten scratching. The next moment, he picked her up and walked towards the wedding bed. He gently put her on the edge of the bed and took off her shoes.

He leaned over to her ear and called her Yanyan softly, his warm breath blowing gently on her ear. She was so shy and nervous that she spoke incoherently, "You...you...you are not drunk, are you?" The next second, he blocked her lips.

Spring nights are short, and the hibiscus tent is warm.
