Chapter 465 See you later, my great general
Even if Shao Feiyang had a big heart, he couldn't say such words. When he met Ye Ninglan's gaze, he could hardly contain himself. He walked up to Ye Ninglan and pulled her over to ask her what was going on in her heart.
Even if there was no possibility for him to be with Ye Ninglan in the future, he would not want her to be so happy with others.
It was obvious that Ning Lan and he were very compatible last night.
It was as if everything between heaven and earth had turned into nothingness except each other.
Shao Feiyang just tasted the sweetness of love.
But I only had that one night.
Under the moonlight, Ye Ninglan indulged in the joy of love with him. After dawn, she withdrew as if nothing had happened and nothing was left behind.
Ye Ninglan saw what Shao Feiyang was thinking from his eyes and said with a smile: "Even if you don't wish me, I can do it. See you later, my great general."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and boarded the carriage back home.
Shao Feiyang stood there and watched her enter the carriage and sit upright inside. The curtain then dropped, and only a faint, bright figure could be seen.
"Farewell, Princess."
Gu Yuanjia and others bid farewell to them in unison.
Shao Feiyang stood where he was, watching the wheels rolling, the horses raising dust, and the procession of Princess Xiling gradually moving away.
He suddenly remembered that it was he who captured Ye Ninglan alive on the battlefield, causing her to become a hostage.
Ye Ninglan was forced to stay in Daxing. When the martial arts competition was held to select a bride, he was chosen, perhaps partly because there was no other choice, and partly for revenge.
So after a night of pleasure, Ye Ninglan could leave so casually.
But he couldn't get out of it.
After Princess Xiling's motorcade had departed, a middle-aged minister who had come to see them off said to Shao Feiyang, "Congratulations, General Shao, you've finally regained your freedom."
Everyone echoed, "Congratulations!"
"General Shao is so young and promising. He can find any beautiful bride he wants. If you want to marry him, the door of the Shao Mansion will be broken down by those who come to propose marriage!"
When Shao Feiyang heard them say this, he didn't feel happy at all.
The relationship between him and Ye Ninglan was severed just like that.
So easy.
It's broken so completely.
Only Gu Yuanjia noticed that Shao Feiyang was not very happy and quickly changed the subject.
Princess Xiling is a remarkable woman of the time. Even though she has a bad reputation, she is still extremely talented and beautiful.
It was normal for Shao Feiyang to be attracted to her.
However, Xiling and Daxing are foreign countries after all. If a general like Shao Feiyang really returns to Xiling with Ye Ninglan, it will be a huge loss to Daxing.
After Ye Ninglan returned to the court, Shao Feiyang also moved back to the Shao Mansion. Many people came forward to propose marriage, but he refused them all. Later, he simply closed the door and refused to see anyone.
Those old ministers who were keen on acting as matchmakers had to turn their attention to several other promising young upstarts.
Song Anlan and Mu Kaiji had the most marriage proposals. Both of them were devoted to their work. After rejecting many marriage proposals, they became close friends because of this and often drank and talked together.
When everyone saw this, they didn't know who had spread the rumor that Lord Song and Lord Mu were homosexuals.
As a result, there are fewer people who propose marriage to them.
But someone tried to act as a matchmaker for them.
Song Anlan and Mu Kaiji were at a loss for words and could only focus on their work and let them make a fuss.
The Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month is coming soon.
The fireworks at the palace banquet were as bright as day, and the whole city was full of colorful lanterns.
On the night of the fifteenth, everyone gathered in the palace, and on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, they went out to the streets to have fun.
Huo Zian and Nian'er were both at an age where they loved the hustle and bustle. Huo Zheng and Chunzhi dressed up as ordinary people and went to the streets to watch the lanterns with Gu Yuanjia, Yuzhu and others.
This time, Chunzhi also brought the Queen Mother with her.
After Queen Wang became the empress dowager, her life became more and more comfortable. Huo Zheng and the ministers worked hard on all the affairs of the court, and Chunzhi also took care of all the affairs of the harem.
The key is that the harem becomes very peaceful without those jealous women.
After Huo Zheng ascended the throne, the old-school ministers also advised the new emperor to expand his harem and have more children.
The ministers who had been serving the emperor and empress since Xizhou were not happy with this and started arguing with the old-school ministers on the spot. They said that the empress was rich, beautiful and courageous, unparalleled in the world. Which other woman could compare to her?
Chunzhi's deeds in Xizhou far exceeded what a princess should do. She rose to a high position hand in hand with the new emperor, and the number of ministers supporting her was as great as those supporting the new emperor.
Even the Queen Mother only recognized this daughter-in-law.
Not to mention that the new emperor has no room for anyone else except her.
After the commotion, the ministers had to give up and turned their attention to Song Anlan, Mu Kaiji and others.
But it is becoming increasingly difficult to act as a matchmaker these days, and marriages are always impossible to arrange.
It was said that after the old emperor died, his son, daughter-in-law and daughter all returned to his side, and his little grandson was always by his side. The empress dowager lived a very comfortable life.
They even took her with them when they sneaked out of the palace to play. Although the Empress Dowager felt that this was unreasonable, she could not resist Xiao Zi'an and Nian'er pulling her on both sides, saying repeatedly, "Grandmother, let's go."
Once you enter the palace, it's like entering a deep sea. The empress dowager hadn't seen the lantern festival outside the palace for a long time, so she dressed up as an ordinary woman and went to the street with them to watch the lanterns.
The streets are bustling with cars and horses flowing like water.
The family walked on the street, with people coming and going around them. The Queen Mother was dazzled by the lively scene before her.
The capital city was prosperous, and the lanterns in the palace were extremely exquisite every year.
But it is boring to listen to flattery too much. It is better to come to the street and watch the people laugh sincerely, with joy and laughter everywhere.
Huo Yanran was walking with her mother in the crowd, but in the dimly lit area, she saw Liu Yan and Tuoba Ying walking together.
The Great Chanyu of Beili stayed in the capital, and was accompanied by Lord Liu, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, almost every day.
Huo Yanran sometimes wanted to ask Liu Yan out for a meeting, but she always ran into Tuoba Ying.
The same is true tonight.
Someone once joked privately that those who knew would say that the Great Chanyu of Beili liked the capital, while those who didn't would think that he had some unspeakable intentions towards Lord Liu.
At the moment, the two of them were walking alone, with no followers around them. The light and shadows shone on them. Liu Yan was gentle and handsome, while Tuoba Ying was tall and mighty, each of them was handsome in his own way.
The moment Huo Yanran saw them, four girls came forward to give them lanterns.
Sending lanterns on such a day is a way to express love.
Huo Yanran stood beside the lantern stall, looking at Liu Yan with a smile.
Whenever she saw others expressing their love for Liu Yan, she would always envy that person for being so brave and feel sad that there would never be a future for her and Liu Yan.
But she has seen a bigger world. After expressing her feelings to Liu Yan, she thinks it is not a bad thing that the person I like is also liked by others, because a good person like him should be liked by many people.
Liu Yan said something to Tuoba Ying, and they both walked slowly towards Huo Yanran...
