Where prosperity ends, flowers never end

The imperial palace is solemn and majestic. Ran Qianxi has the empress dowager's token and can enter and leave freely like her mother.

Led by the chief eunuch all the way, the palace maids along the corridor were very respectful and bowed to him in unison.

"Miss Ran is late, let's go to the table directly."

"Yes, thank you for your help."

"Oh, it's okay. It's what I should do."

Ran Qianxi was brought to the main hall, and Baili Yong had already finished the meeting.

As Shan Shan arrived late, all the female members of the family looked over and were shocked when they saw that face.

“So beautiful…”

"Yeah, the clothes are nice too."

She bowed generously while holding the gift, and the empress dowager smiled out of love for her.

"I wish the Queen Mother a long life, may the sun and the moon shine together, may the Queen Mother live for thousands of years."

"Come quickly, come quickly, let me take a good look."

Ran Qianxi walked up politely, and the Queen Mother stared at her for a moment.

"She's become more and more graceful, and she's very different from when she was little. She looks good no matter how you look at her."

Ran Qianxi bowed politely again.

"Thank you for the compliment, Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother's face was obviously beaming with joy.

"Oh, good, great. I'm late today. Is the Ran Mansion too far away?"

"To the Queen Mother, it's not because of the distance, but because of Xier herself. I knew I would see the Queen Mother last night and I was so happy that I couldn't sleep all night, so I got up late today. Fortunately, I didn't miss the birthday celebration for the Queen Mother."

"Hahaha, this kid is getting better and better at talking. Come sit here and let me take a good look. What gift have you prepared for me this time?"

When Ran Qianxi was a child, the Queen Mother lived in Jizhou for a period of time. She loved her very much and always bought her all kinds of food and toys.

"I thought that the Queen Mother had a high status and must have no shortage of material things. The time in the palace was long, so I found some interesting folk stories to help you pass the time."

Xiahou Jin looked at her with satisfaction, his daughter was able to act.

"Okay, then after dinner, accompany me back to the palace."

"Yes, Queen Mother."

Ran Qianxi walked down the platform gracefully and was instantly attracted by Tan Qianhuan standing opposite her.

He was dressed in white with silver sleeves tied around his wrists. He had soft eyebrows and looked gentle and elegant. He was handsome and beautiful. He was quietly pouring Xifeng wine, and the years seemed beautiful to him.

“Oh my god…this…this is so exciting!”

She couldn't help but smile secretly.

Tan Qianhuan felt her gaze, raised his eyes slightly and smiled.

"Oh my god, this smile can kill people, it feels so good."

"Cough cough..."

Xiahou Jin coughed a few times, and she was the only one who noticed the useless look in her daughter's eyes.

Ran Qianxi came to her senses instantly, and Tan Qianhuan smiled faintly again.

After the birthday banquet, Ran Qianxi accompanied the empress dowager to read a book and prepared to return home. When passing by the imperial garden, she met Tan Qianhuan again.

"Hey!"

Tan Qianhuan frowned slightly and turned around. There was no reason for anyone to ignore such a beautiful woman.

"Miss Ran."

Ran Qianxi strode forward. She knew she was a prince, but she didn't know which prince she was.

"What kind of king are you?"

Tan Qianhuan smiled gently.

"King of Jibei."

Ran Qianxi's eyes lit up, full of admiration.

"You are the God of War of Dachang, Tan Qianhuan? But why are you different from what I imagined..."

"What do you think I am like, girl?"

"You should be a mighty man, but why are you so good-looking?"

Tan Qianhuan smiled, while Ran Qianxi's eyes were already caught in a vortex.

"Oh my god, you look like something out of a picture book."

Tan Qianhuan was still smiling. Ran Qianxi came to her senses and picked up the beggar's chicken behind her.

"Hey~ I saw you didn't eat much just now, is it because the atmosphere is not right and you can't eat well? I happen to have another chicken, let's share it."

Tan Qianhuan smiled lightly and did not reject her.

"Thank you."

The red plum blossoms were in full bloom all around her, and Ran Qianxi picked a branch and gave it to him.

"I give it to you. You are more beautiful than flowers."

Tan Qianhuan took it carefully and couldn't help but smile.

"This sentence is a man praising a woman, and flowers should be given by men to women."

"Oh no, it's not that troublesome. I'll give it to you if I see you look good."

Ran Qianxi pulled up his wrist, and he followed her.

"The weather is a bit cold, let's eat quickly and go back after we're done."

The two of them sat in the pavilion, and Tan Qianhuan had no idea that he was smiling the whole time.

"it is good."

Ran Qianxi was the first to break off a chicken leg for him.

“The chicken drumsticks are delicious.”

"Thank you."

"Haha, you're welcome. Hey? How old are you?"

"Thirty-seven years old."

Hearing this, Ran Qianxi was confused, but he looked only twenty-seven years old at most.

"Is it true? But you look so young, do you have any secret?"

"There is no secret, maybe it's innate..."

"Wow... that's so cool... immortality..."

The two were chatting happily, with a lingering smile on Tan Qianhuan's face, when suddenly snowflakes fell from the sky.

"Yeah, it's snowing."

He looked up at the sky, stood up silently, and put a cloak on Ran Qianxi.

"Be careful of catching a cold."

Ran Qianxi raised her eyebrows. She was putting clothes on him after just knowing him for a short while. She must be an old hand in the love field.

"Haha, thank you for your clothes. Hey? I heard you haven't got a wife yet."

"No."

After hearing his admission, Ran Qianxi became interested in other people's emotional issues.

"So what kind do you like? Sexy? Graceful? Or petite?"

Tan Qianhuan looked at her indifferently, with only an inch of distance between them.

"have not thought."

"Ah? Don't you want to think about this?"

"There are many things in the world that are more important than this."

"Okay, okay, then how about you look at me?"

She boldly expressed her love, and Tan Qianhuan was dumbfounded. Although many people had confessed to him, she was the only one who asked him so directly.

"You...are too young..."

"I'm almost 21. Normally, my son would be 3 or 4 years old at this age."

"So...what do you mean? Do you want to...be with me?"

Ran Qianxi held her forehead helplessly. She had been in love before, but had never experienced sex. She had always been curious about what it felt like. The man in front of her met her aesthetic standards in terms of appearance and figure.

"You are so old, why are you a little dull? There are some things you can do without being together~"

Tan Qianhuan's brain was shocked and he instantly understood what she meant.

"Girls should be reserved."

"Tsk, you're like my dad. How about I recognize you as my godfather?"

Tan Qianhuan still looked at her indifferently, and he had an adopted daughter just by eating a meal.

"I…"

"What's the matter? Do you have another goddaughter?"

"Not really, but this kind of thing can't be rushed, I think..."

Ran Qianxi leaned over and kissed him on the corner of his mouth, not really wanting to acknowledge him as her godfather.

"It's decided. Let's proceed step by step."

After he finished speaking, he took off his cloak and put it back on him.

"Wait for me. I'll go get an umbrella. Otherwise, the snow will fall on you and it will be very uncomfortable after it melts."

After he finished speaking, he ran out of the pavilion and came back a moment later with an oil-paper umbrella. As expected, Tan Qianhuan had not left yet.

"I thought you had to run."

Tan Qianhuan smiled and stood up.

"Why should I run? Didn't you tell me to wait for you?"

"Haha, it's nothing... Come here, I'll hold an umbrella for you."
