Where prosperity ends, flowers never end

Wedding Day-

The scenery on the Phoenix Boat is infinite, with the bridal veil dazzling. The phoenix crown tied up in a high bun on her head seems as heavy as Mount Tai. She is already gorgeous, and today she looks like a bright red swaying peony. The peony flower on her forehead makes her look even more stunning. Under her dignified and majestic distant mountain eyebrows are a pair of affectionate peach blossom eyes, and the bright red lip balm makes the overall makeup dignified and majestic.

Duanmu Yan looked at her with envy and couldn't utter a word of blessing.

In addition to this magnificent phoenix boat, there are countless exquisite pleasure boats around the lake. The guests are enjoying the banquet on the water, which looks like piles of small mountains from a distance.

In the center of joy, Tan Qianhuan is wearing wedding clothes and looks dignified; he sits quietly with his black hair tied up high in the auspicious cloud crown, the golden tassels on the crown hang steadily on both sides, his posture is upright, and a dot of cinnabar between his eyebrows brings out his unique temperament; Baili Yong is sitting beside him in a dragon robe with a look of disdain on his face.

Baili Yong: "You must be very proud, right?"

Tan Qianhuan: "When the clouds clear and the moon appears, you will naturally feel proud."

Baili Yong snorted disdainfully: "If I hadn't been tripped up by the throne, you would not be my opponent."

Tan Qianhuan: "Your Majesty is the supreme ruler, you should put the people of the country first."

Baili Yong fell silent after each sentence. He didn't know how long it had been before he chose this happy day to speak his mind: "I also respected you. When I was young and weak, I watched you rise to the occasion and admired you. When the regent rebelled, you turned the tide. You protected the important border areas with all your strength. But I didn't make you a king and give you soldiers just to let you rebel."

The other party raised his mouth and sneered disdainfully: "Hahaha. Your Majesty thinks you are more suitable to sit on the throne than me?"

Baili Yong: "Yes! I am the emperor!"

"Hahahaha." He laughed a few more times and said, "Neither you nor your father are good emperors."

Baili Yong: "How dare you be so arrogant."

Tan Qianhuan: "The late emperor was weak and the court was controlled by Baili Qing. After his death, you have been relying on Jingwen and his ilk for many years. If I wanted to rebel, how could I have Baili Chen's turn to act as the governor for ten years? How could you have been able to sit firmly on the throne of the crown prince for ten years?"

Baili Yong did not rush to refute. The other party smiled and said, "I have executed all the traitors. I am a meritorious official, not a traitor. I have killed all the evildoers in my life, but in the end you call me a traitor. I had no intention of forcing the emperor to abdicate. I thought being the emperor of Jizhou was enough. If you hadn't forced me to do so, Xi'er wouldn't have had to drink the poisoned wine."

Baili Yong laughed bitterly a few times: "Hahaha... Xier is just a mask to hide your wolfish ambitions..."

Tan Qianhuan: "She has been attracted to me since the beginning. You are a latecomer. You don't think I like the throne of the Baili family. At that time, the throne was only one step away from me. If I became the emperor of the world, who could do anything to me?"

Baili Yong stood up excitedly: "This is just your high-sounding excuse."

Tan Qianhuan: "What reason is there? Not to mention that you have been reborn once. If I want to be emperor, even if you are reborn a thousand times, you will not be my opponent. Now everything is over. I just want to grow old with Xier. This is the best. You want your kingdom and I want my Xier. Everything is back to where it was."

Baili Yong looked at him coldly. He smiled disdainfully and left Happy House: "The auspicious time has arrived. Xier is waiting for me."

The autumn wind was blowing strongly over the bow of the boat, the phoenix coronet and bridal robe fluttering in the wind. Ran Qianxi was graceful with a feather fan on her face. She stepped over the fire basin and bowed to her parents. Ran Yuelian and Xiahou Jin still couldn't believe that it took the accumulation of two dynasties to have the King of Jibei, but he actually gave up his power and official career and went to the border for his daughter. For a moment, they felt both pity and moved.

Ran Qiongxi stood aside with blessings in her eyes, feeling deeply ashamed for her previous arbitrary judgment of Tan Qianhuan.

MC: "The couple bows to each other."

Suddenly a familiar voice was heard and everyone was startled. Could it be that someone was here to steal the bride?

Wei Jiguo: "Wait."

Tan Qianhuan frowned and turned around calmly, and found that he did not come alone but was following the empress dowager.

The Queen Mother: "You haven't even bowed to me yet, but you're already bowing to me as husband and wife?"

Everyone on the boat knelt down and said, "Greetings to the Queen Mother. Long live the Queen Mother."

Ran Qianxi smiled happily and said, "I thought the Queen Mother would not come."

The Queen Mother sighed impatiently: "I really don't know what to say to you. Why did you insist on marrying Tan Qianhuan when you have such a good husband like Yong'er?"

Ran Qianxi: "Oh, you've already married the Queen Mother, so stop worrying about it."

The Queen Mother: "The Prince of Jibei is not an ordinary man. You must be careful if you marry him."

Ran Qianxi smiled and nodded: "Yeah."

The Queen Mother: "It's amazing that the King of Jibei, a man of such rank, would do this for Xi girl."

Tan Qianhuan looked at her and smiled politely: "Your Majesty, you are too kind."

The Queen Mother remembered all the past events vividly. He had reached that position step by step in the royal disputes, but suddenly became penniless.

The Queen Mother walked steadily to the main seat. Ran Yuelian and his wife stood up to make room for her. The Master of Ceremonies straightened his throat and said, "Ahem, the two newlyweds pay their respects to your parents again..."

Baili Yong watched the joyful scene on the shore, and returned to the palace alone with a sad heart. The rise and fall of the country has always been a heavy burden on his shoulders. Perhaps the choice was really helpless, and it was impossible to completely forget that unforgettable lover.

There were more than a dozen male friends on the boat, including Xu Yuanchao, who remained silent. The heart-wrenching wedding pierced their whole bodies one after another. They were even so depressed that they couldn't breathe. They simply couldn't give their blessings as if nothing had happened.

Xu Yuanchao: "Do you think he is the only one who can do this..."

Xie Ying: "It's because the heartless are indifferent and the affectionate are sad."

Liu Xun: "If I could have recognized you earlier..."

Li Zhengzhong closed his eyes tightly and turned around, throwing the chrysanthemum painting he had kept for a long time into the lake; Shi Zhun and Shi Huan had already returned to Nanyue, leaving Hang Jiuzhou to monitor the battle situation in Changguo; Si Kongqian smiled bitterly and drank glass after glass of wedding wine, and the banquet began. Shu Han stepped forward: "Congratulations."

Qian Jingyang and Qian Youren finally arrived at the wedding scene after rushing around. Qian Youren originally didn't want to come, but his nephew insisted on congratulating Grandpa Xi in person.

Inside the cabin -

Ran Qianxi had already changed out of her phoenix crown and bridal robe, she stretched her shoulders and neck and let out a long sigh: "Oh... this phoenix crown is so heavy... It seems to be the one I wore at the coronation ceremony..."

It was originally that phoenix crown and that bridal robe in which Baili Yong hid his thoughts and love, hoping to be with her for the rest of her life.

Qian Jingyang and Shang Zilai strode over, looking radiant: "Master Xi, Master Xi! Let's go have a drink!"

Ran Qianxi looked up at him, she was so tired that she could hardly open her eyes: "Now? Don't scare the relatives..."

Qian Jingyang: "Which relative of yours doesn't know how much you can drink?"

Ran Qianxi: "My sister-in-law doesn't know yet."

Shang Zilai: "Are you referring to Tao Yao, the beloved daughter of Tao Fuyin?"

Ran Qianxi: "Yes."

Qian Jingyang came up with a smile and said, "Look, there are so many high-ranking officials from the court here. Please introduce them to me."

Ran Qianxi looked at him in disbelief: "What? You still want to pass the imperial examination?"

"Oh no, my family has cultivated a new kind of grape. I heard that King Chenyang loves grapes the most. Can you help me make some connections?"

Ran Qianxi smiled weakly: "You have high standards. You are targeting the regent king."

Qian Jingyang: "I also heard that he has a niece who is as beautiful as a flower... You see, you are married now... You should also think about me, your brother..."

Ran Qianxi: "Okay! I'll get up and connect you right away!"
