Farewell Flower Festival

The lazy morning light shone through the window onto the dressing table, as if coating the bronze mirror and jewelry box with a layer of golden glow.

Chaoyan arched her back in the quilt, revealing a pair of eyes. Her shy gaze moved slowly from Mu Tianling's forehead to his neck. His slightly open clothes revealed his thin collarbone. She was so shy that she covered her eyes with the quilt again.

Then he reached into her arms and she realized he was pretending to sleep.

Chao Yan showed her eyes again, and the next moment she was trapped in his tender eyes, her face blushing and her heart beating fast because of his lazy smile.

"Why are you staring at me, Your Highness?" She was so shy that even her voice sounded weak.

Mu Tianling smiled lazily and said in a long lazy voice: "Because Yanyan is pretty." He leaned over, but before he could kiss her, Chao Yan shyly leaned into his arms.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Jade and Amber had been lingering outside the door for a while, and finally Jade knocked on the door.

After a while, Mu Tianling's voice came from inside, "Come in." There was a hint of laziness in his tone.

When Jadeite and Amber came to help the two of them get up, they pulled up the bed curtains, letting out a few hints of seductive air, and both of them blushed a little.

Chaoyan's face turned red so much that her ears felt a little hot, and she was teased by Mu Tianling's smirk, making her face flush even more, as if she was about to be cooked.

When Jadeite and Amber were doing Chaoyan's makeup, when it came to drawing eyebrows, Mu Tianling took the eyebrow ink from Chaoyan, and Jadeite and Amber stepped back consciously.

He gently lifted Chaoyan's chin and drew her eyebrows very gently and carefully.

"Your Highness," Chao Yan just opened her mouth but was blocked by him. Mu Tianling said, "Call me husband." Chao Yan blushed and changed her words. She stuttered and called him husband. After she finished calling him husband, her face was so red that she was embarrassed to look at him. After the blush faded a little, she dared to look him in the eye and asked, "Are you hiding something from me?"

While drawing her eyebrows, Mu Tianling said, "I don't have a concubine."

Chao Yan blushed again and muttered, "Who asked you that..." After calming down again, she didn't beat around the bush with him, "Did you take the medicine given by that weird old man in the Lantern Hall before?"

Mu Tianling was slightly stunned, and probably guessed who told her, and said lightly, "It's all in the past." Chao Yan's eyes were a little red, and she asked, "Why didn't you tell me?" Mu Tianling gently wiped her eyes and comforted her in a gentle tone, "It's okay."

Chao Yan raised her hands, hooked them around his neck and kissed him.

……

On the first day of their wedding, the two went to the palace to express their gratitude.

After breakfast, Mu Tianling and Chao Yan took a carriage to the palace.

In the carriage, Chao Yan repeatedly checked whether Mu Tianling had any abnormalities in his body after taking the medicine, whether he felt uncomfortable anywhere, whether he had any side effects, or whether he had any sequelae... She was silenced by Mu Tianling's words.

"Is there something wrong with my body? Didn't you know last night?"

He whispered in her ear and pecked her blushing ear. Chaoyan covered her hot cheeks with her hands and her head was almost steaming.

After arriving at the palace, Eunuch An said that Emperor Mu was with Concubine Yin, and took the two of them to Fenghua Palace.

After entering the hall, Chao Yan found that everyone was there.

Mu Tianyuan and Liu Sui sat below Emperor Mu, Mu Tianqi and Han Min sat below Concubine Yin, Mu Tianchen and Wen Xue sat on one side with Mu Tianyuan, and the empty seat next to Mu Tianqi was reserved for Mu Tianling and Chao Yan.

After the two of them served tea to Emperor Mu and Concubine Yin, Concubine Yin gave Chao Yan a golden hairpin on her head as a wedding gift.

Mu Tianqi and Mu Tianchen came over to congratulate Mu Tianling. Mu Tianyuan didn't want to go to congratulate him, but when Liu Sui looked at him, he reluctantly stood up and congratulated Mu Tianling.

Liu Sui also went over to congratulate Chao Yan, and Han Min and Wen Xue also came to congratulate.

When Chaoyan saw Han Min, she felt that she seemed calmer than before, and her smile was not as free as before. She wanted to find an opportunity to have a good chat with Han Min. Holding things in for too long would only lead to bitter consequences. At least she would feel relieved after speaking it out.

Emperor Mu sat for a while and then went to the imperial study to handle official business, and called Mu Tianyuan away.

Concubine Yin said that the flowers in the garden were blooming and asked everyone to go and see.

The crabapples and peonies in the garden are in bloom. Each crabapple plant is as bright as clouds and snow, and each peony plant is bright and beautiful.

Liu Sui knew that Wen Xue was shy so she took extra care of her. Chao Yan also took Han Min aside to talk to her alone.

The two looked at the peony flowers in front of them and did not speak for a while, and the atmosphere was somewhat silent.

After a while, Bai Shao, the chief maidservant beside Concubine Shu, came over and invited Mu Tianchen and Wen Xue to Jingning Palace.

Han Min glanced over there, then retracted her gaze, reached out and touched the bright peony flowers, and said, "It seems like the last time I appreciated the flowers was just yesterday. It's great that you married the person you love." She smiled, and her smile was filled with envy and loneliness.

Chao Yan hesitated for a while and asked, "Is the Second Prince good to you?"

Han Min took her hand back and said with a smile, "Let's go to the front and take a look." She walked forward and said, "Your Highness is very good to me. Your Highness is very considerate and very good." She paused, lowered her eyelashes, and her expression became gloomy. "It's my own problem." Chao Yan advised, "You still have a long time to live, don't make yourself suffer. Eat whatever you like, buy whatever you like to wear and wear. If you want to talk to someone, come to me. How about we go horseback riding together in a few days?"

Han Min's expression eased a little, and he jokingly asked, "Your Highness, can you go out alone without worrying about running into my second brother?"

Chao Yan looked confident and said, "Don't worry, although he is a little narrow-minded, he is still quite reasonable. I will talk to him nicely and he will definitely agree."

Han Min smiled and asked, "What if you don't agree?"

Chao Yan put her hands on her hips and pretended to be angry, "He dares?!"

Made Han Min laugh again.

Mu Tianqi and Mu Tianling looked in the direction of the two people. Mu Tianqi said, "The princess once asked me before, whether I like to live in the palace or in the mansion." Mu Tianling frowned slightly. Mu Tianqi continued, "The princess said that she prefers to live outside and feels freer." Mu Tianling said, "What do you mean by telling me this, Second Brother?" Mu Tianqi smiled and said, "Nothing. It's getting late, and it's time to leave the palace." He walked towards the two people, and Mu Tianling followed.

"It's getting late." Mu Tianqi came over and said politely.

Han Min said goodbye to Chaoyan and told her not to forget what they had agreed on. Chaoyan nodded and told her not to worry.

In the carriage on the way back, Mu Tianling asked what the two had agreed on. Chaoyan said they wanted to go horseback riding together, so Mu Tianling didn't ask any more questions, and his emotions were a little subtle.

When Chao Yan realized that he seemed a little unhappy, she leaned close to his ear and whispered "husband", and Mu Tianling's subtle emotions disappeared.
