Xie Ju'an stared at the portrait in front of him, lost in thought.
It turns out that the woman in the portrait was Xie Ju'an's beloved.
Years ago, Xie Ju'an's mother fell seriously ill.
He heard that there was a doctor at the border, so he went there alone.
Unexpectedly, all the money Xie Ju'an had saved from selling his property to pay for his mother's medical treatment was robbed by the thugs.
The thugs weren't finished; they beat him half to death and then dumped him on the roadside.
Xie Ju'an clung to life only because of his belief in getting medical treatment for his mother; he was on the verge of death.
Just then, a beautiful woman dressed in gorgeous clothes came to his side and asked someone to treat him.
When the woman heard that he was seeking medical treatment for his mother, she gave him some silver and helped him find a renowned doctor.
This woman was his ideal woman, his white moonlight.
But the border is so far away, and he is in the capital now. Where can he find this woman?
Since he passed the imperial examination with top honors and was assigned to the Hanlin Academy as a sixth-rank official, countless people have tried to arrange marriages for him.
However, he did not accept any marriage proposals, but instead waited patiently for his ideal love.
Xie Ju'an thought that if a miracle happened one day, he could see his white moonlight again.
Then he must be completely devoted to her.
Xu Ruyun's wedding day arrived quickly.
Every civil and military official was present.
Even colleagues with whom he didn't usually get along sent congratulatory gifts, hoping to get a drink at the wedding.
Those arrogant foreign envoys have been dragging their feet until now, just to ask for a cup of fine wine they've never tasted before.
Chiu Chiu, dressed in bright red, stood outside, full of energy, to greet the guests.
Everyone is trying to please Chuchu.
"We are truly honored that the princess of all nations has come to greet us personally!"
Chiu Chiu: "You're too kind, you're too kind."
Chiu Chiu was also joining in the fun, her lips curving into a happy smile, unable to hide her inner joy.
[My mother is getting married today; the lovers have finally become husband and wife!]
[I am truly happy for you, Mother! We have finally changed our fate, and Grand Tutor Chen will not have to die a tragic death. Now everything is back on track!]
Several foreign envoys shamelessly arrived together.
Chiu Chiu looked at their faces covered in scars, some of them using crutches, and others with bandages on their arms, which looked quite ridiculous.
Xiao Feng couldn't help but laugh as she looked at them: "You, you guys... hahaha!"
Chiu Chiu asked earnestly, "What's wrong with the messengers?"
Envoy: "Oh, don't even mention it! Princess of the myriad kingdoms, the elixir you gave us last time, none of us could win against the other, but we ended up fighting like this."
Xiao Feng asked curiously, "So who got the elixir in the end?"
"We split the elixir in the end."
Xiao Feng: "How much will we get then?"
"We'll each get a little, but we're already very content! That's Laozi's elixir. Even if a mortal only gets a tiny bit, it's good enough."
Chiu Chiu: "So what are you all here for today?"
The messengers presented generous gifts.
"This is our congratulatory gift to the First-Rank Lady. Please accept it, Princess of the World, and then let us in for a cup of celebratory wine."
Chuchu smiled and let Xiaofeng accept the gift, then said, "No problem, no problem. Guests are guests, please come in!"
The messengers were so happy they almost jumped for joy.
"The princess of all nations let us in! We were able to get in! We are truly blessed!"
Chirp was also very happy.
[Received so many gifts, I'm rich! I'm rich!]
The messengers went in with great joy and then took their seats.
Soon after, Princess Ningxin arrived.
Chiu Chiu looked at Princess Ning Xin and muttered to herself.
【We have no prior relationship with Princess Ningxin. Why is she here?】
I remember that, following the previous trajectory of fate, she eventually ended up with Xie Ju'an. As for the details in between, I've somewhat forgotten.
【Xiao Feng, keep a close eye on things. Make sure nothing goes wrong.】
Xiao Feng looked at Qiu Qiu and nodded firmly.
Princess Ningxin came over and exchanged pleasantries with Qiuqiu for a while before entering the mansion.
The Crown Prince, the Third Prince, and the Sixth Prince also brought generous gifts to offer their congratulations.
The princes were all very happy to see Qiuqiu.
When the officials saw the Crown Prince arrive, they all exchanged pleasantries with him.
The prince didn't have time to speak to Qiuqiu.
The Third Prince circled around Qiuqiu: "Qiuqiu, why haven't you come to play with us for so long? We miss you so much!"
Sixth Prince: "Yes, it's been a long time since I've seen you."
Chiu Chiu said, "How can it be a long time? Didn't we see each other at the last palace banquet?"
The Third Prince said, "That's different. It's a palace banquet; you can't just say whatever you want there."
Sixth Prince: "Yes, we want to talk freely with you and play without any worries."
The third prince said dejectedly, "But the palace rules are strict, and we can't leave even if we want to. Today, I'm finally able to leave the palace and see you."
Qiuqiu folded two paper cranes and gave one to the Third Prince and the other to the Sixth Prince.
The sixth prince, holding the paper crane, asked, "Is there anything special about this paper crane?"
The Third Prince said earnestly, "This is a paper crane folded by Qiuqiu, so of course it's unique!"
Xiao Feng laughed when she heard that.
As expected of a prince who has lived in the deep palace for a long time, he has a whole repertoire of flattery.
Chirp blew a breath onto the two paper cranes.
The paper crane flapped its wings and took flight.
The two princes looked at the paper crane with delight and said, "It's flying! It can fly!"
Chiu Chiu: "Whenever you miss me or want to go out and play, please let the paper cranes tell me, okay?"
"good!"
The two princes clapped their hands in approval.
Things that chirp are just different.
