"What do you mean by Phoenix's destiny?" Yun Xiangye asked, "Haven't you read the Book of Songs?"

Yun Xiangye glanced at Gu Yan and said, "The phoenix flies, its feathers fluttering, and it gathers and rests. This is from the Book of Songs. It says that when the phoenix soars, all the birds follow it in admiration. Nowadays, this saying is often used to describe the deep love between husband and wife, and that lovers will eventually marry. This clearly means that my sister will be able to marry her lover and have a happy marriage. What does this have to do with the fate of the phoenix?"

After listening to Yun Xiangye's explanation, Gu Yan thought it was possible, but he was a royal relative and when he heard the word "Phoenix", he only thought of the position of queen.

This line of poetry means that husband and wife are in love and harmony. It is also commonly used by blind sorcerers when they predict people's marriages.

Nuonuo was very excited when she saw the exquisite lanterns on the boat.

The lanterns on the bridges on both sides were also lit up, and it was suddenly as bright as day. Many people on the shore also released lotus lanterns into the river to make wishes. The river was full of various lotus lanterns with candlelight floating on them, dotted like stars in the Milky Way.

Yun Xiangye took Nuonuo to buy a lotus lantern, wrote down her wishes and put them inside the lantern.

Gu Yan came up to Yun Xiangye and asked, "What wish did you write?"

Yun Xiangye said, "May all my loved ones be free from illness, disaster, and pain, and live in peace and prosperity."

Gu Yan asked, "Are you still worried about Zhao Jing's illness?"

Yun Xiangye frowned and looked at Gu Yan, saying, "You bastard! If I hadn't been afraid of your anger and hadn't gone to see Zhao Jing that day, Nan'an wouldn't have come and insulted me! How dare you misunderstand me?"

Gu Yan said: "I just asked casually, don't be angry."

Yun Xiangye said, "It seems that the fortune teller just now had some skills. He really was right. Since you don't trust me, I'll divorce you now and let me remarry as soon as possible."

Gu Yan listened to Yun Xiangye's words, pursed his lips, reached out and held Yun Xiangye's wrist, and said, "After we return to Chang'an, we will get married again. I already owe you a wedding gift."

Yun Xiangye looked at Gu Yan in confusion.

Gu Yan said, "Didn't the blind man say you would marry twice? When we return to Chang'an, you and I can hold a grand wedding ceremony and marry once more. That will make it a double wedding, and it will also count as your second marriage."

Yun Xiangye frowned and said, "You're the one with too much money and nowhere to spend it, right? Nuonuo is already two years old. If you and I get married, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

Gu Yan said, "Didn't you say that you were in a difficult situation in Chang'an and that everyone looked down on you? Let's make up for the wedding ceremony. At the wedding ceremony, we will invite all the royal relatives, nobles and aristocratic families, and announce to everyone in Chang'an that you are my Crown Prince's Consort."

Yun Xiangye said, "I don't have the time to marry you again. You just told me about a sorcerer, and you still believe his fortune-telling?"

Gu Yan said, "That's right. Fortune telling isn't always accurate. Previously, a powerful Taoist priest said my aunt was destined to be a phoenix, but she didn't become empress in the palace. It's clear that most fortune telling is just a lie."

Yun Xiangye took Xiao Nuonuo's hand and walked to the shore to place the lotus lantern.

Little Nuonuo imitated Yun Xiangye and put his hands together to pray.

Gu Yan asked Xiao Nuonuo, "What's your wish?"

Xiao Nuonuo raised her eyes to look at Gu Yan and said, "Candied haws."

Gu Yan pinched Xiao Nuonuo's cheeks and said, "Okay, I'll buy you some candied haws later."

The river was filled with lotus lanterns, and a team dancing with dragon lanterns passed over the bridge, causing the people to marvel.

Gu Yan held Nuonuo in one hand and placed his other hand on Yun Xiangye's waist and said, "I heard that if you pluck a hair from the Qilin lantern, you will be able to have a child this year."

Yun Xiangye looked at Gu Yan and said, "Don't give me that! I don't want to give birth to a child for you!"

Gu Yan laughed and said, "That's fine. After all, once you have a child, you have to endure it for the first three months, then the next three months, and then another two months after the birth. It's almost a year..."

Yun Xiangye realized what Gu Yan said, and she stepped hard on Gu Yan.

Gu Yan felt pain but still smiled.

The Lantern Festival and other festivals in Chang'an are more lively than those in Luoyang.

At the palace gate was a parade of lanterns presented by various prefectures in Dasheng.

On the palace wall, Zhao Yun looked at the lanterns below but showed no interest.

Fu Qianran stood beside Zhao Yun and said, "Your Highness, would you like to go outside the palace to see the lanterns? The merchants along Shanglin Street are all having lantern riddles. The winners can win lanterns. It's quite lively."

Seeing that Zhao Yun didn't respond, Fu Qianran whispered, "Your Highness?"

Zhao Yun glanced at Fu Qianran, frowned slightly and said, "Do you want to guess the lantern riddles?"

Fu Qianran whispered, "I do. After all, this is the last time I will celebrate the Lantern Festival outside the palace..."

After her wedding and becoming the Crown Princess, she would no longer be allowed to leave the palace for fun during the Lantern Festival.

Zhao Yun said, "The streets are crowded, so I won't go with you. Shi'an, Brother Rui, you two will accompany Miss Fu to Shanglin Street to guess lantern riddles."

Xie Shian, who was watching the lanterns on the palace wall, was chatting with Xiangjun Prince Zhao Rui about Gu Yan's pursuit of his wife.

Xie Shian was stunned when he suddenly heard Zhao Yun's order, "Your Highness, this is inappropriate, isn't it?"
