An Yan was caught off guard by Shen Yanxi's sudden self-recommendation.

The ministers suddenly became excited again.

"Lord Shen is young and promising. He is willing to give up everything to enter the palace. His heart is known to heaven and earth, and the sun and the moon can bear witness to it!"

"Enough, shut up!" An Yan shouted, "Get out of here! Shen Yanxi stay!"

Seeing that An Yan was really angry, the ministers left quickly.

Shen Yanxi's eyes were full of hope, which made An Yan feel a little reluctant.

"The regret has already been made, why dwell on the past?"

Shen Yanxi's heart sank, but he still said stubbornly: "Now there is a chance to make up for it, isn't it?"

An Yan looked straight at him and said, "I am no longer the Qiao Anyan of the past. If you really can't let go, then consider it as me letting you down."

Shen Yanxi's lips trembled, but he couldn't say anything and slowly lowered his head.

After a while, he asked, "Do you have a sweetheart?"

"Yes!"

"Is it good for you?"

"If you are someone who is willing to sacrifice his life for me, I will do the same."

Shen Yanxi let out a long sigh, "I understand. I wish you happiness! I'll take my leave."

An Yan looked at his lonely back and felt a little sad for the missed opportunity between him and the original owner.

At the same time, she was also glad that General Qiao had been released by her to fight on the battlefield. If he had forced her to marry by using his father's status, it would have been a bit difficult to deal with.

The ranking of the palace examination was not much different from that of the metropolitan examination. An Yan personally selected Yuan Yuan as the top scorer, Yang Xueqing as the second place, and Rong Xuan as the third place.

An Yan talked to them separately, and assigned them to the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Industry according to their specialties and wishes, and let them take up their posts immediately.

Xiao Dezi retreated consciously and took the other palace maids and eunuchs away.

She and Rong Xuan were the only ones left in the hall.

Rong Xuan's appearance has become more mature, his eyes radiating confidence and assertiveness. The two years of nourishment have left his skin fair and delicate, a truly vibrant and beautiful young man.

Rong Xuan's voice was gentle and low, "Ayan, I'm back!"

An Yan's eyes instantly turned red.

"Sorry, I am late!"

An Yan shook her head and threw herself into his arms, "Why are you so stupid? You could have just been the Ronghua Immortal Lord. Is it worth it to give up your lifelong cultivation to save a demon that failed to transcend the tribulation?"

He has always taken good care of his appearance, and his clothes and accessories are extremely exquisite. Under the thunder from heaven, all his cultivation was gone. It is hard to imagine how devastated he would be to see his face aging.

Rong Xuan touched her hair and said, "What's the point of living in this world without you?"

He never regretted his original choice, and now he is even more grateful to meet again.

"When did you remember it? You were still little Rongzi back then, so you don't have any memories of that time."

"Because of love!" Tuanzi was also bound to Rongxuan, so he could also hear Tuanzi's words.

"..." Rong Xuan smiled affectionately, and An Yan's old face turned red.

"Do you want to be beaten, Tuanzi?"

"Tuanzi feels wronged, but Tuanzi misses his daddy too!"

"Daddy misses you too. Tuanzi did a great job! You also protected Mom very well when Daddy was away. Thank you!"

"Yeah! I'll keep working hard!"

"That's not necessary. I will protect my wife myself! You should focus on your training."

"Okay, okay, I won't disturb your reunion then." Tuanzi retreated into seclusion.

An Yan took his hand and said, "Let's get married!" It was a pity that he didn't have time to get married in his previous life.

Rong Xuan nodded, "Okay! We have to hurry!"

His tone changed, and he complained, "I've heard it all over the place. Shen Shaoqing asked to enter the palace on his own initiative. Didn't you explain it to him clearly back then? Why is he still pestering me?"

An Yan couldn't help laughing. Rong Xuan, who used to be out of touch with the world, has become more lively. He is jealous and complains with confidence. He is so cute, how can she not coax him!

"Don't worry, this is our wedding. I will definitely make it a grand occasion! Everyone will be envious!"

"As for Shen Yanxi, he loves the original owner, not me, and I love you, so don't confuse us."

Rong Xuan nodded with satisfaction. "By the way, please let me go to the Ministry of Agriculture. I found some grain seeds overseas, and I want to try to grow them so that your subjects can have enough food."

"That's right. You are a flower spirit and have a natural affinity for plants. Planting them is a piece of cake for you." An Yan's bright eyes were full of admiration.

“Just go ahead and do it!”

An Yan informed the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the wedding.

The ministers were overjoyed that the empress was finally going to get married, and the emperor's husband was not their own son.

So when they saw Rong Xuan, they were all kind and compassionate, as if he was sacrificing his life for justice, which made Rong Xuan confused.

The prepared wedding dress has been delivered.

On the bright red satin, dazzling jewels, delicate and exquisite gold embroidery, and vivid golden dragons and colorful phoenixes come alive on the clothes.

Rong Xuan praised it repeatedly and couldn't let it go.

However, An Yan was a little confused. Looking at the phoenix robe, which was a circle larger than the dragon robe, she asked, "Why are you wearing the phoenix crown and bridal robe?"

Rong Xuan was already trying on the phoenix crown. "Ayan, you are the Golden Dragon Goddess, so of course you should wear a wedding dress embroidered with golden dragons. I am your husband, so I must be a perfect match for you."

An Yan was a little jealous, "But the phoenix crown and bridal robe look better, it's more suitable for women to wear."

Rong Xuan took her hand, feeling a little smug. "That's the custom. At worst, I can let you wear it after the ceremony! Okay?"

"Okay~" An Yan pinched his face and said lovingly.

The Ministry of Rites chose an auspicious day.

The empress got married and all the people celebrated together.

Anyan did not follow the tradition of simply welcoming people into the palace.

Instead, he personally rode a tall horse to Rong Mansion to pick up the bride, and then took the flower carriage that Rong Xuan was riding in around the capital before returning to the palace.

Flowers bloomed in the capital, and the people said it was a good omen from heaven. They knelt along the way and wished the empress and the emperor a happy marriage and a long life together.

After paying homage to heaven and earth, An Yan took Rong Xuan into Kunning Palace.

Kunning Palace was closest to Qianqing Palace, where government affairs were handled, and it was also the most convenient for them to travel back and forth. As they were already husband and wife, it was natural that they would not live in two separate palaces.

Inside the hall, An Yan and Rong Xuan sat side by side beside the bed.

After the maids said auspicious words, completed the procedures, received the tips, left with smiles on their faces, and considerately closed the door.

Of course, there was no one to make trouble in the bridal chamber, except for a shiny big light bulb - Tuanzi.

An Yan quietly signaled Tuanzi to stay away and pay attention to things that children should not see or hear.

Tuanzi jumped out directly, "I wish that Daddy and Mommy will love each other and stay together until the end of time, until the seas run dry and the rocks crumble, and never be separated!"

"Okay, Tuanzi, be good! Go and practice in seclusion!" Rong Xuan smiled and drove him away without mercy.

"Alright, alright! The system has a harmony function, don't worry!" Tuanzi continued to hide.

There is still one thing that has not been completed, which is the drinking of the cup together.

So, An Yan and Rong Xuan held the wine glasses, crossed their arms, and faced each other.

The close contact made me look into each other's eyes at a glance, and I saw myself clearly, which made my heart warm.

They clinked the wine glasses lightly and drank it down in a warm and ambiguous atmosphere. This wedding wine was like adding fuel to a raging fire, making it even hotter and hotter.

"Ayan/Rongrong..."

Rong Xuan couldn't bear it any longer, so he picked up An Yan and lowered the bed curtain.

Only the dragon and phoenix wedding candles burned quietly all night long.
