Farewell Flower Festival

Here, Chaoyan and Miss Yu chatted and learned that she had a single name, a single moon, and was unmarried, but had no intention of getting married at the moment. She had wanted to introduce her brother to someone, but the girl didn't want to get married at the moment, so she could only wait.

After Mu Tianling came out of the house, Chao Yan felt that he was in a bad mood. Although his face looked no different from usual, she could always keenly detect the subtle changes between his eyebrows. She didn't ask first, and if he didn't take the initiative to ask after returning, she would ask.

When Captain Yu was seeing the two off, Chao Yan asked him if he had heard of the Lantern House. Mu Tianling glanced at her and knew that she was still worried about her health.

Hearing the words "Lantern Hall", Captain Yu was a little surprised and said that it was the most mysterious place in the ghost market and ordinary people could not find it. The business done in the shop was also very mysterious. It was rumored that as long as you entered the Lantern Hall, you could fulfill any wish.

Any wishes?

Chaoyan suddenly thought of Xu Xuan. Could it be that the strange old man helped him fulfill his wish?

Captain Yu also reminded the two men not to approach the Lantern Hall, as it was difficult to get in and even more difficult to get out.

Chaoyan wondered if Captain Yu would be surprised if he knew that she and Mu Tianling had both been to the Lantern Hall. . . . .

After leaving the ghost market, it was already late at night.

Mu Tianling told Captain Yu that there was no need to send him off, so Captain Yu went back first.

There are fewer pedestrians on the street, but most of the shops on both sides are still open, and the lights in the shops are reflected on the street, giving a hazy feeling of peaceful light.

Mu Tianling held Chao Yan's hand, and the two walked slowly on the street.

Such a scene and such an atmosphere are more romantic than what Chao Yan imagined, that they were walking hand in hand on the street.

Until Chao Yan spoke a word.

"Your Highness, I am hungry."

"..."

The two of them happened to walk near Zhenxiu Tower, where there were guests eating.

When the two came in, Han Lie happened to come down from upstairs. The three of them met unexpectedly and were all a little embarrassed.

It would be awkward for Chao Yan not to say hello, and it would be awkward for her to say hello. It would be even more awkward for her to pretend she didn't see him. Although the other party couldn't be considered her ex, so many things had happened between them. If she had a best friend who traveled through time with her, she would have introduced him to him...

"Let's go back and eat." Mu Tianling said, his tone seemed a little indifferent, and his aura was a little subtle.

Chao Yan said weakly, "Why don't you go and say hello..." When Mu Tianling looked at her, she lowered her head and kept silent, and then was pulled away by him.

Han Lie watched the two of them leave. He felt relieved but also a little disappointed. He was not prepared to meet them.

After returning to the palace, Mu Tianling picked up Chaoyan and carried her on his shoulders towards his residence.

The servants in the mansion were all surprised when they saw Mu Tianling carrying a "man". They didn't know it was their own Princess Ling dressed as a man, until they heard a voice saying "Put me down". It was a girl's voice. When they looked at her face, they suddenly realized that it was the princess~~~

When Jadeite and Amber saw Mu Tianling carrying Chaoyan back, they immediately retreated.

After entering the house, Chao Yan felt that she would not be able to face anyone tomorrow.

After being flattened and rolled over for a while, Chao Yan told him to sleep in the study room, pulled the quilt towards him, and he pulled her into his arms and "threatened" her, "Do you still want to sleep tonight?"

Chao Yan muttered "rascal" under her breath, but did not dare to move anymore and stayed obediently in his arms.

"You haven't told me yet why Captain Yu took you to meet his adoptive father?" Chao Yan asked, looking up.

Mu Tianling gently pressed her head into his shoulder and coaxed her, "Go to sleep first, and we'll talk tomorrow."

Chao Yan grabbed her head again and said, "If you don't tell me, I can't sleep."

Mu Tianling couldn't do anything with her, so he asked her if she was still hungry. Chaoyan felt even hungrier than before when asked this question. He got up, dressed, and said he was going to the kitchen to see if there was anything to eat. After about half an hour, he still hadn't come back.

Chaoyan was feeling a little suspicious and was about to go over to take a look when the door was pushed open and Mu Tianling came back with a bowl of noodles.

"Your Highness, did you do this?"

Mu Tianling didn't say yes or no, and asked her to taste it first. Chao Yan tasted the soup first, gave him a thumbs up and praised it for being delicious, then tasted the noodles, gave him a thumbs up and praised it for being delicious, saying that his cooking skills were good enough for him to be a chef, and finally drank all the soup.

"Are you full?" Mu Tianling asked. Whether intentionally or deliberately, his tone sounded a little playful, as if he wanted Chaoyan to think wrongly. She did think wrongly for a moment, and then asked him to sleep in the study.

"Don't you want to know who Captain Yu's adoptive father is?" Mu Tianling said.

Chao Yan's face was filled with black lines, but considering that he made her a midnight snack in the middle of the night, she let him off this time.

Mu Tianling took out a portrait from his sleeve. Before going to the kitchen, he went to the study and took the portrait away.

Chao Yan opened the portrait and saw the face in it, which she didn't recognize either.

"This was found in Wei Chang's study. The man in the painting was originally my uncle's deputy general, named Liu Lei."

Next, Mu Tianling told Chao Yan the whole story.

As long as he finds out where Zhao Zhong's privately cast weapons are hidden, he can convict Zhao Zhong.

"As long as he is convicted, I will find a way to pry open his mouth and make him tell the truth." Mu Tianling clenched his fists and his eyes turned cold. Chao Yan slowly leaned on his shoulder, took his arm, and said, "Your Highness, promise me one thing." Mu Tianling's expression softened and said, "You say." She held his arm tighter, "Live a long life." He smiled and said, "I don't have to live a long life, it's enough to grow old with you." She nodded, her eyes curved into crescents, "Grow old with you."

The next day, after Mu Tianling went out, Chaoyan also went out with Jadeite and Amber.

Eunuch Wu arranged for someone else to run Hua Xiang Rong. Cuicui was still in the shop and had already learned how to make rouge. When they had free time on weekdays, Feicui and Amber would also go to the shop to take a look.

Chaoyan entered a teahouse and ordered a pot of tea and two plates of snacks on the second floor. Only Amber was by her side, and Feicui went to Prince Rui's palace.

About an hour later, a carriage stopped outside the teahouse.

The maid helped Han Min get out of the carriage, and Feicui led her to the box on the second floor.

Seeing Chaoyan, Han Min pretended to be angry and asked, "Didn't we agree to go horseback riding together in a couple of days? It's been a while, I think you forgot it a long time ago." Chaoyan apologized to her with tea instead of wine, and drank it first as a sign of respect. Han Min didn't really care about her, so he went down the steps she gave him. The two drank some tea, ate some snacks, and then left the teahouse.

Chaoyan got on Han Min's carriage and went to the horse farm.
