Today is a sunny day with a gentle breeze. It is a particularly important day for Tiantian - her coming-of-age ceremony.

Before daybreak, Tiantian was gently awakened by her mother. She sat up bleary-eyed, but the thought of her upcoming coming-of-age ceremony instantly perked her up. Under her mother's meticulous care, Tiantian began meticulously dressing and dressing.

Sitting in front of the bronze mirror, Tiantian looked at herself in the mirror and couldn't help but smile slightly.

I saw her crescent-shaped eyebrows gently stretched out, her big watery eyes twinkling like stars, with a smile at the corners of her eyes, making her look even more charming and attractive; and her pink cheeks were faintly flushed, just like the first blooming peach blossoms in spring, shy and lovely.

When Tiantian finished packing and walked out of her boudoir and into the yard, everyone present couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Tiantian was wearing a pale pink skirt, the thin hem of which fluttered in the wind, making her look as graceful and elegant as a dancing fairy. A closer look revealed the hem of her skirt was embroidered with delicate peach blossom patterns, so lifelike that one could almost smell their fragrance.

At this time, the highly respected and venerable old nanny in the capital, holding an exquisite comb in her hand, walked slowly and gracefully towards Tiantian. She walked up to Tiantian and stood behind her, muttering words full of beautiful meanings and deep blessings.

With each gentle combing movement, the comb seemed to turn into the hand of time, gently caressing sweet hair, and conveying endless love and expectations to her heart.

After her hair was combed, Yun Tingluo, who had been waiting silently by the side, finally came forward.

With a smile on his face and loving eyes, he carefully took out a hairpin as smooth as jade from his arms.

This hairpin is of extraordinary significance. Yun Tingluo bought it specially after he earned his first money in life, so that he could give it to his beloved daughter on this special day and give her the best wishes.

Tiantian felt her father's deep love and was deeply moved.

She bent her knees slightly, bowed gracefully, and said in a clear and pleasant voice, "Thank you, Daddy!" At this moment, the whole yard was filled with a warm and happy atmosphere.

At this moment, a faint blush gradually appeared on Murong Yunche's jade-white face, as beautiful as a peach blossom in full bloom in spring.

However, despite his flushed face, the words that came out of his mouth were unusually firm and powerful: "Tiantian, today is your coming-of-age day. I sincerely wish you a smooth and happy life from now on!"

Hearing this, Tiantian couldn't help but raise her eyes, as clear and bright as autumn water, to look at Murong Yunche.

A shy smile instantly appeared on her beautiful face, like a flower just blooming in the morning, delicate and charming. Her slightly flushed cheeks and gently trembling eyelashes fully displayed the joy and shyness deep in her heart.

The people around witnessed this warm and beautiful scene and couldn't help but start to make fun of them.

Someone said with a smile: "Oh my, look at our sweet little girl, she has already reached the age of marriage, it really is true that girls cannot be kept back when they grow up!"

Someone else said, "That's right. Look at the affection between these two. They are indeed childhood sweethearts!"

For a moment, laughter and joy filled the entire space, making the already lively scene even more cheerful and festive.

Just as everyone was roaring with laughter, the lively scene was suddenly interrupted by the sound of horse hooves. The sound resounded through the sky, as if to shake the whole world.

Everyone turned their heads and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

From afar, I saw a chestnut horse galloping towards me like a flash of lightning.

Its hooves flew, raising clouds of dust like a gust of wind. And on the horse's back sat a man.

The man was dressed in black, his posture was as straight as a pine tree, and his sleeves rustled in the wind.

When the horse came closer, everyone finally saw who the person was. It turned out to be the renowned son of the Minister of Personnel, Li Xiuran!

Li Xiuran jumped off the horse swiftly and walked straight towards Tiantian with big strides.

His steps were steady and powerful, and every step seemed to step on people's hearts, causing the people around him to involuntarily make way for him.

After walking in front of Tiantian, Li Xiuran stopped, stretched out his right hand, and slowly opened it. In his hand, he was holding an extremely beautifully crafted box.

"Tiantian, congratulations on your coming of age today. This is a pair of jade bracelets that I specially brought from other places with great difficulty. I hope they can accompany you through the long years and bless you with a peaceful and happy life." As Li Xiuran spoke, he stared at Tiantian with extremely passionate eyes, his eyes full of affection and tenderness.

However, at this moment, Murong Yunche, who had been standing silently by the side, frowned slightly.

He took a step forward and stood in front of Tiantian without hesitation. He said to Li Xiuran directly, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Li. However, Tiantian has already received my blessing, so I won't bother you any more."

After saying that, Murong Yunche looked back at Li Xiuran without showing any weakness, and the atmosphere between the two of them instantly became tense.

Hearing Murong Yunche's words, Li Xiuran couldn't help but snort coldly, and his expression darkened.

He stared at Murong Yunche intently and retorted in a stiff tone, "Murong Yunche, Tiantian isn't married yet, so why wouldn't I give her a gift? And you, what right do you have to stop me?"

Before he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the field was like a taut bowstring, ready to explode at any moment and filled with the smell of gunpowder.

Tiantian gently tugged at the hem of Murong Yunche's finely crafted, cloud-embroidered garment, whispering softly, "Please don't damage the harmony between us today."

After saying this, she turned slightly and bowed to the imposing Li Xiuran standing not far away. Her movements were graceful and generous, like a fairy descending to the earth. She said softly, "Master Li, I understand your kindness, but I have been engaged to Brother Yun Che since childhood. This gift is far too valuable. I hope you can take it back."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuran's expression instantly darkened. He glared fiercely at Murong Yunche, secretly regretting that he hadn't gotten what he wanted this time.

However, he also knew that continuing to argue here and now would only bring him trouble, so he had no choice but to get on his horse and ride away, leaving only a trail of flying dust in the air.

The crowd who had just gathered together to watch the excitement felt bored when they saw that the storm had died down. They gathered together again and continued to talk and chat, with laughter and joy filling the air.

At this moment, Murong Yunche quietly stretched out his big hand and tightly grasped Tiantian's soft and boneless little hand, as if declaring his ownership of Tiantian to everyone.

After the crowd gradually dispersed, the noisy courtyard finally returned to its former tranquility.
