Sister, you traveled through time too?

"Dressed in red to go with the red veil, she will keep it for the rest of her life."

"I don't know, would you like to?"

The room was filled with flickering candlelight, and the bright red clothes looked gorgeous and impermanent under the light.

Master Lan asked softly. His voice was gentle and deep, like a man's, but it sounded particularly gentle and affectionate.

Xiaoyu heard the trembling in his voice and knew that he was a little scared.

"What's your name?"

Xiaoyu just smiled and stood in front of him and asked.

"My surname is Xue, and my given name is Lan."

Master Lan, who was covered with a red veil, could only see the hem of Xiaoyu's skirt. He suppressed his nervousness and spoke in a gentle voice.

So his name is Xue Lan, Xiaoyu thought to herself.

It’s such a pity that he didn’t even have a name in the original book. Just a few strokes described the ending of being toyed with to death.

I came early, so I can save him from death.

This name is really nice, Xiaoyu remembered it silently.

"Mr. Xue, do you want to be with me all your life?" Xiaoyu just asked him with a smile.

"Slave, I dare not think about it at night, I just hope to catch your eye and stay by your side forever."

Xue Lan's palms were sweating from nervousness. He couldn't see Xiaoyu's face, but he could tell that she was not unhappy.

He was scared, he seemed to have lost his words.

How could he have the right to say that we would stay together for life?

The only one who can stay with Your Highness for the rest of his life is Your Highness’ future prince.

He was terrified and uneasy, afraid that Her Highness would misunderstand his ambition, and even more afraid that he would lose the opportunity to follow her.

But Xiaoyu just smiled and took the jade ruyi from his hand.

She held Xue Lan's cold, sweaty hand and whispered, "Why are you so afraid of me?"

Xue Lan hurriedly said no, and he held Xiaoyu's hand tightly, afraid that she would leave.

Xiaoyu played with Yu Ruyi and let go of Xue Lan.

She stopped teasing him. She just wanted to lift the veil and see what he looked like.

Driven by her curiosity, she still lifted her veil three times decently.

The veil cannot be removed directly and needs to be picked up three times.

Pick the left and pick the one that satisfies you.

Pick the right one for you, and you will have a happy and carefree life.

Three picks... Hehe, beautiful lady.

The veil was finally slowly lifted, revealing a jade-like face as white as cream.

Those were a pair of phoenix eyes that were full of compassion, with the ends of the eyes raised, which were very alluring.

Her eyes are charming yet pure.

Xue Lan has a high nose and a small cinnabar mole between her eyebrows.

This is a face that looks like a demon and an immortal.

Xiaoyu admired him and felt that he had a pure and wild temperament.

But he seemed to be gray, with sorrow always in his eyes, as if he was always feeling compassion for the world, and had a sense of being alone and vulnerable to being shattered at the slightest touch.

That sense of conflict and fragmentation makes Xue Lanmei unique.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is stunningly beautiful.

His phoenix eyes were wet as he looked at the little fish, which made people feel pity for him.

He held his tongue without spitting out his words, and his breath was like a quiet orchid.

Xue Lan just looked at the beautiful woman in front of her. She had thought of many things, but she had never thought that Her Highness would be so beautiful.

Just the aura of the whole body is enough to make people want to kneel down and surrender.

But the tenderness in her eyes seemed just an illusion.

Xue Lan could clearly see the calmness and compassion that only belonged to a superior in His Highness's presence.

Xue Lan was very nervous. He bit his lip slightly, trying to make himself look more pitiful.

No matter what Your Highness feels about him, as long as he is more pitiful, Your Highness will take her away, right?

Xiaoyu could see the panic hidden in his eyes, and could easily see through his pretense of pity.

"Your Highness, please take me away."

"Once the veil is lifted, I will be yours for the rest of my life."

Xue Lan kept her tears in her eyes, which reflected the candlelight, making it sparkle brightly.

Xiaoyu just smiled and said softly:

"The orchids are luxuriant and their fragrance spreads."

"If you don't pick it but admire it, what harm does it do to the orchid?"

(Shadow someone dropped in, I'm here to translate what the dead pretender said.)

(Note: When orchids bloom, their fragrance can be smelled from afar. Even if no one picks orchids to wear, what is there for orchids to be sad about?)

(From: Tang Dynasty, Han Yu's Youlan Cao)

Xue Lan burst into tears just after hearing Xiaoyu's words.

Your Highness, do you think that you can come to Zuihualou to see him often in the future, so why go to such great lengths to take him away?

To His Highness, he is just a flower to be admired.

His Highness felt that there was nothing to be sad about for him not being taken away.

But if Xue Lan can't follow Xiaoyu, he won't have an easy time.

He clutched Xiaoyu's skirt tightly, tears falling.

Does His Highness not want him? Does His Highness dislike his lowly status and his background?

He didn't know, he just felt ridiculous. He almost thought he could get out of the quagmire.

"If you have no intention to pick them, the flowers will wither away on their own."

Xue Lan said in a sad and mournful voice.

He was filled with a pitiful sense of brokenness, as if his heart was dead.

Xiaoyu rubbed his head and wiped away his tears.

She is not a kind person, but she can't bear to see a handsome man cry.

It was easy for her to take him away.

She had no intention of abandoning Xue Lan, she just wanted to tease him out of mischievous fun.

She wanted to see his tears, wanted to see what color and charm they had besides his feigned pitiful pleas.

If you have no intention to pick them, the flowers will wither away.

Are you willing to accept your fate and let yourself wither away?

Xiaoyu couldn't imagine what Xue Lan had gone through to become so pessimistic and resigned to his fate.

She hugged Xue Lan in her arms and said softly, "You have been wronged."

Xue Lan's eyes became moist when she heard these sudden and confusing words.

No one has ever said anything like that.

Your Highness, do you feel sorry for him?

His tears wet the little fish's chest, and he hugged the little fish tightly as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

Xiaoyu just smiled gently, she didn't mind being his life-saving straw.

In fact, it's best to hold on tight.

Perhaps it was the love for Jiu Fengchen that was engraved in his bones, or perhaps he liked this stunning face, or perhaps he couldn't bear to see him wither.

Anyway, the reason doesn’t matter, Xiaoyu just wants to take him away.

She whispered, "Follow me," and Xue Lan was saved in her gentle eyes.

He had never felt that there was a day more worth remembering than today, as it was his new life.

Xiaoyu took him away in a very high-profile manner.

She held Xue Lan's hand and walked in Zuihualou with a smile on her face.

With a wave of her hand, she invested a thousand taels in Zuihualou in front of all the guests.

The owner of Zuihualou smiled happily and handed over Xue Lan's indenture contract with both hands.

Xue Lan, dressed in fiery red and with an extremely beautiful face, was being stared at by countless people.

They were envious and jealous, and cast all kinds of looks at him.

That was the first time Xue Lan received so much attention.

He was a little nervous, but no longer afraid.

Because His Highness was holding his hand, and he belonged to His Highness.

What happened tonight will spread throughout the imperial city, and everyone will know that Xue Lan has become His Highness's man.

Xiaoyu just held Xue Lan's hand calmly and gently, her eyes and eyebrows were charming and beautiful.

Just a smiling look can make the girls who are seeing him off at the door blush.
