Where prosperity ends, flowers never end

Teahouse

A complete set of tea sets is best for drinking by yourself. Qian Jingyang is good at tea making but is too lazy to learn.

Ran Qianxi was busy here and there, but her tea art was a mess. The best Biluochun soup tasted bitter and astringent...

"Master Xi...your tea..."

Ran Qianxi naturally refused to accept his preaching and gave him a look, scaring him so much that he dared not to continue.

"Very good, Master Xi is a genius!"

Ran Qianxi smiled complacently.

"It's good enough that I brewed it for you, but you're still picky."

Baili Yong was watching from the side and was unfortunately targeted.

"Why don't you drink?"

Baili Yong couldn't help but smile, picked up the tea, sniffed it and put it back.

"Hey? Hey hey hey...what do you mean?"

“The color, aroma and taste are extremely bad.”

Ran Qianxi was very unhappy when she received the comments.

"Say that again? Who said it was bad? It was his tea that was bad."

Baili Yong opened his folding fan and stroked it, with no intention of tasting it at all.

"Hey! What's so great about you? Come on, if you have the guts!"

Baili Yong raised the corner of his mouth.

"You dare ask me to make tea for you?"

"Tsk, what are you bragging about? You are so awesome, but you still don't dare...Are you the emperor?"

Baili Yong sneered and did not respond.

"What are you laughing at? Stew!"

Baili Yong raised his eyebrows and stared at her in great confusion.

"Why are you committing suicide like this?"

"Tsk, why do you care whether I live or die? I've already brewed it for you. You have no manners at all."

Baili Yong had no choice but to put down his folding fan and start operating it.

"I'm afraid you'll die from drinking."

Ran Qianxi looked at him proudly.

"If you dare to brew it, I dare to drink it."

Baili Yong's every move was dignified and unruly. Putting aside the unpleasantness just now, Ran Qianxi liked him no matter how she looked at him.

"You kid..."

Baili Yong slowly raised his eyes.

"what happened?"

Ran Qianxi stood up and sat next to him.

"Why are you so good-looking?"

Baili Yong burst out laughing.

"What a courage."

"cut."

Unconsciously, Ran Qianxi stood up and kissed him on the corner of his mouth. He paused with his right hand and looked up at her.

"Have you had enough?"

Ran Qianxi smiled and embraced his face.

"Death under the peonies, even being a ghost is romantic."

After saying that, she put her arms around his waist and kissed him deeply.

Baili Yong was an emperor, with three thousand beauties and a vast territory, but he was calm when being kissed forcefully. He simply closed his eyes and cooperated with the kiss.

"Master Xi...are you a little deep?"

Ran Qianxi gently let him go, and he was still dazed after opening his eyes.

"My kissing skills are okay~"

"it is good."

Qian Jingyang is always like a light bulb, with protest all over his body.

"Master Xi..."

Ran Qianxi straightened her throat and sat down awkwardly.

"Oh no, I won't kiss you anymore. I made you so anxious."

"I really can't play with you anymore, you two can do it, I'm leaving now."

Qian Jingyang left in a hurry, leaving only the two of them in an awkward atmosphere.

After a moment, Baili Yong handed her a cup of tea.

"Do you want to marry Xu Yuanchao?"

Ran Qianxi was stunned, took the tea and drank it in one gulp.

"Wow... your brew is delicious..."

"answer me."

Ran Qianxi put down the teacup and looked at him.

"Although Xu Yuanchao is handsome and dignified, I cannot marry him."

"Do you have a sweetheart?"

Ran Qianxi smiled lightly. If he revealed his identity, perhaps she could still talk to him.

"Yes, I have."

"who is it?"

Ran Qianxi handed over the empty cup.

"Hey, what are you asking? You can still marry me... Another drink."

Baili Yong smiled and poured her another glass.

"I understand."

The next day—

Xu Yuanchao and Tan Qianhuan have both attended the morning court in recent days, and today Liu Xun and Ran Qiongxi are also there.

The Gaoluan Palace was chilly, Baili Yong sat on the dragon throne and looked down upon the world, yet he could not avoid feeling lonely.

"I learned a few days ago that the daughter of the Ran family is not interested in the Xu family. Marriage is her own business. I am very pleased that Marquis Yu An obeyed the imperial decree. However, I also need to be considerate. Since she doesn't like it, let's call off the marriage."

After he finished speaking, all the civil and military officials in the court hesitated and talked at the same time, unable to make any clear explanation.

"Do you have any objections?"

Tan Qianhuan closed his eyes slightly, and Xu Yuanchao slowly raised his eyes, but a minister is still a minister after all, even though he really wanted to marry Ran Qianxi.

"I have no objection."

Baili Yong smiled with satisfaction, no one knew what he was planning.

"Okay, retreat."

It was already afternoon when he finished dealing with government affairs. Although he was a little tired, he still went to the college as usual. His tiredness instantly disappeared when he saw Ran Qianxi.

"Ah~ Little Leo, you only came in the afternoon..."

"I have something to do at home this morning."

Ran Qianxi raised her eyebrows.

"Oh~"

"Hey? Do you have time tonight? I'll buy you a drink."

Baili Yong smiled.

"Have."

Ran Qianxi smiled gently and put her arm around his shoulders.

"terrific."

Suddenly, several eunuchs walked in from outside the academy, and the chief steward was holding an imperial edict in his hand.

"Ran Qianxi, the daughter of the president of the Hanlin Academy, has received the decree."

Ran Qianxi walked over in a daze, and knelt down with complete courtesy.

"Your servant accepts the order."

"There is a young girl from the Ran family, who is outstanding in talent and virtue. I have been granted the opportunity to marry her to the Marquis' Mansion. However, the flower has feelings but the water is ruthless, and the marriage is in danger of being ruined. Therefore, I have issued an order to cancel the marriage contract between the Ran and Xu families. The man must marry separately and the woman must marry separately without any mistakes."

Ran Qianxi was stunned for a moment, the surprise was too sudden...

"What? Did the steward convey the order correctly?"

Steward Sun looked at Baili Yong and handed the imperial edict to Ran Qianxi.

"Miss Ran, even if I had a hundred lives, I would not dare to falsely convey the imperial edict."

Ran Qianxi’s mind was spinning wildly. She didn’t look for her mother or the Queen Mother. Could it be that her adoptive father helped?

"Thank you Lord for your grace."

Manager Sun stood up, bowed, and bowed to Baili Yong before leaving.

"How did this emperor do good things?"

Baili Yong walked over with his hands behind his back.

"Are you still not happy about the cancellation of the engagement?"

Ran Qianxi opened the imperial edict and read it word by word.

"I'm happy, but it's a little confusing."

"You said the emperor is inexplicable?"

Ran Qianxi looked at him.

"Yes, he was so idle that he granted a marriage, but then he inexplicably annulled it. He annulled his own imperial decree. He was so idle."

Baili Yong sneered. She would only dare to evaluate herself like this if she had ten thousand lives.

Liu Xun watched everything from a distance.

Without the emperor's order, he did not dare to tell Ran Qianxi Baili Yong's identity, but he always felt that just as he resolved the crisis of Yu Anhou, a greater crisis arose.

"Class begins."

Ran Qianxi put away the imperial edict and pulled Baili Yong into the classroom.

evening-

Since the emperor followed her wherever she went, Ran Qiongxi and Liu Xun did not dare to stop her, so she naturally went to Bu Yue Tower first.

"The girls here are so beautiful~"

Baili Yong looked at the brothel with its bright lights and wine and felt it was very filthy, but he had no choice but to follow the man in reluctantly as he could not reveal his identity.

"Hey, Miss Ran is here again~"

The madam was as enthusiastic as ever.

"Oh, Miss Ran has never brought this young master out before. Is he a new friend?"

"Haha...you talk too much. Let's go to the same room as last time."

The madam was obviously in a difficult position.

"Unfortunately, a distinguished guest has left."

Ran Qianxi has always been fearless, and there is no more noble guest in the imperial city than her.

"More expensive than me?"

"Oh no, you came early and gave me enough money. I'll keep it for you next time. There's also a spacious one. I'll take you there first."
