Lu Xuan couldn't help but stand up and move closer to the glass wall to take a closer look. At that moment, he thought he was seeing things.

However, as more and more glass lamps lit up, he realized that they were all real.

Those glass lanterns were crystal clear and colorful, green, red, and blue. The way they floated in the water reminded Lu Xuan of the stars in the sky.

At this moment, Lu Xuan was almost leaning against the glass to look out.

It was rare for Liu Tan to see him acting so childishly, so he just smiled and said nothing, not wanting to disturb Lu Xuan's mood at the moment.

Lu Xuan looked at it for a long while before he came back to his senses. He turned to look at Liu Tan, his dark green eyes sparkling in the light.

The surprise on his face was not concealed at all, which made Liu Tan feel very accomplished.

Liu Tan leaned against the glass wall and tilted his head and asked, "Do you like it?"

Lu Xuan held Liu Tan's hand and placed it on his chest, letting him feel his intense heartbeat. It was only then that he realized that he had not learned Chinese well enough and had not read enough books, because in this situation, he could not think of any beautiful words to describe his feelings.

He racked his brains but could only clumsily say, "I like it."

But he felt that these words were completely incapable of describing his exhilarated mood.

Liu Tan smiled without saying anything. He withdrew his hand and took a heart-shaped red evil gold pendant from the tray held by Miao Rui. He handed it to Lu Xuan and said, "My heart, I give it to you."

At that moment, Lu Xuan felt that his hands seemed to be trembling. He took the pendant and put it on impatiently, letting the pendant touch his chest.

Liu Tan was originally smiling, but when he saw Lu Xuan's eyes were red, he became extremely flustered for a moment.

"Hey, don't... don't cry." Liu Tan was heartbroken, thinking that just giving Lu Xuan such a small gift could move her to tears. He couldn't help but reflect on whether he had been too mean in the past.

You have to know that he couldn't say that every thing he gave to Liu Che was better than the Crystal Palace, but it was definitely not bad.

Thinking about it this way, it seemed that he was not that attentive to Lu Xuan.

How does the saying go? Being favored makes you feel fearless.

He was the favored one, and he was certain that Lu Xuan liked him. She was willing to give up many things for him and even come to be his neighbor, so he was not that attentive.

He felt that this was at least his first New Year with Lu Xuan. Even though they hadn't been together on New Year's Day, it would be nice to make up for it now.

Although Lu Xuan's eyes were red, he didn't actually cry.

He simply put his arm around Liu Tan's waist and pulled him into his arms, then gently lowered his head and kissed him in the sky filled with glazed lights.

This time, Lu Xuan wasn't as eager as before. In the past, he always had an uncontrollable dominance, enjoying his prey like a predator.

But now he is much gentler and more affectionate.

After they separated, the two of them lay on the grass, looking at the glass lanterns floating in the water. Lu Xuan suddenly said, "If only time could stop at this moment."

Liu Tan rested his head on his chest, raised his head and bit his chin. "What are you thinking about? Why stay in the present? Things will always get better in the future."

Lu Xuan smiled: "I was wrong."

He kissed Liu Tan's forehead reluctantly and said, "I can't bear to leave you like this."

Liu Tan hugged his waist and said, "You will come back eventually."

Lu Xuan sighed, and after a while Liu Tan suddenly stood up and said, "Let's go, get out."

Lu Xuan was obviously reluctant to let him go and pulled his hand, saying, "Stay a little longer."

Liu Tan leaned over and kissed him and said, "If you like, wait until tomorrow. You can't stay here any longer."

Lu Xuan was a little surprised: "Why?"

There are many reasons for this, such as the oxygen problem in the glass house. In order to keep warm, the stone door is closed, and there is a heater burning inside the house. It is not a good thing to stay in such a confined space for a long time.

Another thing is that the humidity in this room is very high. Lu Xuan has always lived in a relatively dry place. He was worried that he would get sick if he stayed in a humid environment for a long time. He had just come back from a long journey and had only rested for one day, so it was better not to take any risks.

After Liu Tan explained in detail, Lu Xuan heard that he was worried about his health. Although he was a little reluctant, he still followed him.

Seeing him looking back every few steps, Liu Tan couldn't help but laugh and said, "This is originally a gift for you. When your palace is built, I will build a crystal house like this for you too, okay?"

After hearing this, Lu Xuan shook his head and said, "Forget it. This house is worth a lot of money, and repairing and maintaining it shouldn't be easy, right? Let's just leave it at that."

Lu Xuan knew that Liu Tan was not short of money, but he also felt sorry for his money. Even Liu Che didn't have this house, which shows how difficult it was.

But when he thought about it this way, he felt a little happy. Even Liu Che didn't have it. The Crystal Palace was the only thing that belonged to him.

Liu Tan laughed but said nothing. He just asked, "How is the construction of your palace going?"

He did not interfere too much with the progress of Lu Xuan's palace, but just said that it must be built bigger and modeled after his.

Lu Xuan shook his head and said, "It hasn't been built yet."

"Ah?" Liu Tan turned to look at him. "Why aren't you building it? My beloved concubine said it's because you're short of money or materials!"

Lu Xuan said helplessly: "We don't need anything, we just want to move the capital."

Liu Tan: ...

Brother, how many times have you moved the capital in recent years? It's like Meng Mu's three moves!

Seeing him sigh, Lu Xuan said, "It will serve as the secondary capital now. Anyway, if there's a better place, we'll naturally move."

Liu Tan was a little curious: "Won't there be any problems?"

Lu Xuan said as a matter of course: "Of course not, this is how we have always lived. The capital city was not fixed before."

Liu Tan finally understood why it was so easy for Lu Xuan to move the people out of the capital. Could it be that these people had already gotten used to it?

Liu Tan wanted to ask more questions, but he was worried that some things were too sensitive and it would be bad to ask too many questions.

As if Lu Xuan knew what he was thinking, he explained it to him in detail and said, "This time, we'll choose a Feng Shui location and won't change it."

Liu Tan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Then what place do you think is a good Feng Shui location?"

Lu Xuan looked up at Liu Tan and said, "Somewhere close to you."

Well, Liu Tan confirmed that Lu Xuan had turned back into the old Lu Xuan after leaving the glass house.

He asked, "So what's next?"

Lu Xuan said, "Learn to read."

Liu Tan was stunned for a moment: "What?"

Lu Xuan said seriously, "Build a school to teach the people in the clan to read and write."

Liu Tan was stunned. Does this mean achieving universal education?

This... is really possible. Now the population of Xiao Wusun is less than 100,000, including the prisoners Lu Xuan keeps capturing. Excluding the slaves, there are not many people who need to receive education.

Liu Tan's eyes turned and he asked, "Do you need my help?"

Lu Xuan asked, "How can I help?"

Liu Tan smiled and said, "I'll help you write the textbook!"

Lu Xuan was bewildered: "Huh?"

Liu Tan patted his shoulder and said, "It's settled!"

Cultural output, hook;

Brainwashing education, hook;

Literacy experiment, hook.

Liu Tan: Perfect!
