Chapter 467: My Sincerest Blessings to Her
Huo Yanran looked at the unparalleled Liu Tanhua on the stage, thought seriously, and said with a smile, "When I first met him, I was attracted by his looks. When I saw him again, I was attracted by his talent. After that, I liked him more every time I saw him. I can't really say what I like about him anymore. I guess I like everything about him."
As the princess spoke, her heart and eyes were filled with Liu Yan.
Tuoba Ying knew that Huo Yanran was not a person who only cared about love. She had traveled all over the mountains and rivers and cared about thousands of people, but her love was only for Liu Yan.
She was only attracted to Liu Yan because of his beauty.
Just fall in love with him.
There are many good-looking people in this world, and there are also talented people, but Huo Yanran only likes Liu Yan.
Tuoba Ying originally had a lot to say to Huo Yanran, but at this moment, he suddenly knew very clearly that there was no need to say those words anymore.
He looked up and watched Liu Yan answer one puzzle after another.
"The ninety-ninth one!"
"The last, last one!"
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Liu Yan answered a hundred riddles in a row and won the Lantern King title of this year in Caiyue Tower.
The shopkeeper of Caiyue Tower reluctantly took off the Phoenix Lantern King and presented it with both hands, "This Phoenix Lantern is yours."
"Thank you." Liu Yan took the Phoenix Lantern and, amid the exclamations of the people around him, held it in front of Huo Yanran and handed it to her. "There are millions of lanterns tonight, but this is the only one that best suits you, Princess."
Huo Yanran smiled and took it, "What a coincidence, I think so too."
The two smiled at each other in the dim light, their affection filled in their eyes.
There was a lot of noise all around and the streets were filled with laughter.
Tuoba Ying looked up at the fireworks blooming in the sky. The lantern festival in Daxing Capital was indeed breathtakingly beautiful, but it was a pity that he did not belong to this event.
Liu Yan won the King of Lanterns from Caiyue Tower and gave it to the princess. He also asked Tuoba Ying, "Which one does the Great Chanyu like? I'll win it for you."
Tuoba Ying couldn't help laughing when he heard this. "The princess said that the Lantern Festival lanterns are given to loved ones. So what's the big deal if Lord Liu gave me a lantern?"
Liu Yan had no other intentions. Seeing that the Great Chanyu of Beili seemed somewhat disappointed, he thought of showing some hospitality and entertaining the distinguished guest.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard Tuoba Ying say, "Besides, there is only one King of Lanterns. If I also want this Phoenix Lantern, will Lord Liu give it to me or to the princess?"
If it was something else, Huo Yanran would have given it to Tuoba Ying, but this Fenghua Lantern was almost equivalent to a token of love between her and Liu Yan. It would be very strange if she gave it to someone else.
Liu Yan said, "A gentleman does not take away what others desire. The Great Chanyu controls the land of Beili, so why would he compete with the princess for a lantern?"
Tuoba Ying would not compete with the princess for a lantern. He wanted the princess to be happy.
These days, he and Liu Yan walked together through the towers and pavilions of the capital, climbed mountains and waded through water, and repeatedly confirmed what kind of person Liu Yan was from every big and small thing.
Tuoba Ying looked at Liu Yan with the most critical eyes, but could not find any shortcomings in this Lord Liu.
He could finally confirm that Liu Yan was a true gentleman.
Only a good man like Liu Yan is worthy of the goddess in his heart.
"Lord Liu is really good at talking." Tuoba Ying said with a smile: "Thank you Princess and Lord Liu for taking me to the lantern festival tonight. Daxing Capital is great, and my trip was worthwhile."
Huo Yanran and Liu Yan heard Tuoba Ying's words and thought he was about to return to Beili, so before he finished speaking, they took the initiative to offer to take him to a tall building, admire the bright moon, and drink the most beautiful wine in the capital.
Tuoba Ying went there happily.
The full moon is like a plate, hanging high in the sky.
The three of them were drinking on a high building, their clothes fluttering in the wind.
Beili and Daxing both prospered after experiencing turmoil. The three of them met at the most difficult time, and even though they had a little selfish motive, they never thought of making things difficult for others.
The breeze, bright moon, fine wine and fireworks are all before your eyes.
Both the host and the guests had a great time that night.
The show didn't end until late at night.
Tuoba Ying's men came to pick him up and take him back to the inn.
Liu Yan sent the princess back to the palace.
The two of them rode together, galloping through the streets. The night breeze blew on their faces, but because they had drunk quite a bit of wine, Huo Yanran didn't feel cold at all.
She said to Liu Yan, "Actually, it's quite troublesome to go back to the palace at this hour."
Huo Yanran went out of the palace incognito with her mother and the others. Even though the palace gates were closed tonight, they would be reopened for them as an exception. However, her sister-in-law and the others must have returned to the palace long ago, and it would be very troublesome for her to go back at this time.
Huo Yanran leaned into Liu Yan's arms, "Master Liu, how about you take me in for one night?"
The two of them were in love, but because the late emperor had just passed away, the princess had to observe a three-year mourning period for him, and marriage could not be put on the agenda during these three years.
But Huo Yanran felt that it didn't matter if they got married later, and everything else should be left as it was.
With the warm and soft jade in his arms, Liu Yan's face flushed slightly, "Princess..."
Huo Yanran couldn't help laughing when she heard Liu Yan's voice become a little hoarse and a little embarrassed. "Liu Yan, Liu Yan, why do you look so confused and at a loss as to what to do after being teased?"
Liu Yan was a modest gentleman, so how could he stand Huo Yanran's teasing?
He said seriously, "The princess has a clear mind, so naturally she speaks and acts without restraint. But I harbor evil intentions towards her, so it's inevitable that I have some unpleasant thoughts."
Huo Yanran didn't expect Liu Yan to say such honest words, and couldn't help but turn around and kiss him on the lips.
Liu Yan was stunned for a moment, then quickly reined in his horse, held the princess in his arms, and deepened the kiss.
It was late at night and there were almost no pedestrians on the street.
There are Kongming lanterns floating in the sky, I wonder whose wishes they are carrying to the sky.
Huo Yanran only knew that all her wishes had come true.
——
On the second day, Tuoba Ying proposed to the new emperor of Daxing to set off back to Beili.
Tuoba Ying accompanied Huo Yanran from Xizhou to the capital and had stayed in Daxing for too long. He should have gone back long ago, but he wanted to see whether the man the princess liked was worthy of her, so he stayed again and again.
Now it's finally time to leave.
Huo Zheng agreed on the spot and sent his ministers to see him off.
The sky was clear on the day Tuoba Ying left.
Gu Yuanjia and other important officials came to see him off, and Liu Yan and Huo Yanran also came.
The other Beili officials were chatting with Gu Yuanjia and the others, but Tuoba Ying's eyes were only on Liu Yan and Huo Yanran.
He said to them, "When the princess and Lord Liu get married, please let me know. I will come to your wedding in person."
If he is destined not to spend his life with the princess, then it would be nice to watch her and the person she loves deeply in love for the rest of her life.
As long as the person the princess likes is worthy of his love.
Tuoba Ying was willing to retreat back to the position of a friend and offer her his most sincere blessings.
"good."
Liu Yan and Huo Yanran agreed in unison.
In the gentle breeze, the two looked at each other, their eyes full of affection.
"I'm leaving." Tuoba Ying smiled and got on his horse. "Goodbye!"
"good!"
Huo Yanran happily agreed and waved to Tuoba Ying.
Everyone in Daxing bowed and saw him off. Tuoba Ying rode away on his horse. He did not look back, but just raised his hand and waved.
The Great Chanyu of Beili came on the snow and left on the wind, just like the wind and clouds in the sky gathering and dispersing in a hurry.
Huo Yanran and Liu Yan stood side by side.
They say all good things must come to an end, but luckily they never have to separate again.
