Lin Xian stared at the gift box in her hand. It looked very beautiful. He wondered what the gift inside was. He turned his head to glance at Shen Chuwei, only to see her turning her head to pick up the sweet cake on the table. The cake was only the size of a finger, and she put it directly into her mouth after picking it up...
Ouyang Leyuan was very curious about what gift Lin Xian would give her, and couldn't wait to open the gift box in front of Lin Xian.
In the gift box was a pair of jade bracelets with a ruby inlaid on them. The style was a little different from that of the Xing Miao people, but they were very luxurious and beautiful.
Lin Xian just raised his eyes and saw the gift inside. He knew at a glance that it was very valuable. No wonder Shen Chuwei told him not to worry on the way here, and that it would definitely not be embarrassing.
He lowered his eyes and glanced at Shen Chuwei, only to see that her cheeks were puffed up, and it was obvious that she was eating silently again.
Shen Chuwei noticed that he was looking at her and smiled at him.
Ouyang Leyuan looked up at Lin Xian with joy: "Mr. Lin, I like the gift you gave me very much."
Lin Xian said: "As long as you like it."
"Let me try it on." Ouyang Leyuan put the gift box on the table, took out the jade bracelet from the brocade robe, and put it on her wrist carefully, fearing that she would accidentally drop it.
She has a slender wrist, and the jade bracelet fits perfectly on her wrist.
After Ouyang Leyuan put on the jade bracelet, she happily held it in front of Lin Xian and said, "Mr. Lin, does it look good?"
Lin Xian looked at the jade bracelets. Shen Chuwei had good taste. Although this pair of jade bracelets were rare, they were still elegant.
He nodded, "Yeah."
Ouyang Leyuan was extremely happy.
At this time, the maid came over and said, "Princess, the clan leader wants you to come over."
"Okay." Ouyang Leyuan looked up at Lin Xian, then left with the maid.
The clan leader saw his precious daughter coming over and waved her to stand beside him. In front of everyone, he announced: "Today is Princess Le Yuan's sixteenth birthday. She has reached the marriageable age. We will select a young talent to be her consort."
As soon as the clan leader finished speaking, the crowd below was in an uproar. Many young talents liked Ouyang Leyuan and had been waiting for this day. Becoming a royal consort would be a step up in status and more honorable than a noble.
The clan leader smiled and looked at his precious daughter, "Le Yuan, which of these young talents do you like?"
Ouyang Leyuan just glanced at the so-called young talent and said shyly, "My daughter has already chosen one."
Upon hearing this, the clan leader was a little curious about his daughter's vision. Who would she take a fancy to?
"Tell me, which young master is this?"
Ouyang Leyuan looked at Lin Xian in the corner. Even if he was standing in the corner, his noble temperament would stand out from the crowd.
His handsome face is so beautiful that you can't take your eyes off him once you take a look at him.
"The person I like is Mr. Lin Xian."
The young talents below were all confused when they heard this, because they had never heard of this person.
"Who is Mr. Lin? Which family is he from?"
"I've never heard of anyone with the last name Lin among the nobles."
Lin Xian, who was named, was also confused. How could he directly mention Yuan's son-in-law in public? Shen Chu was stunned for a moment. Although he guessed that Ouyang Leyuan had improper thoughts about Xiao Jinyan, he didn't expect that she would name him in public.
She raised her head and looked at Xiao Jinyan, and whispered, "Are all princesses so confident?"
This is no less than confessing in public. If both parties are not sure of their feelings, this method of confession can only have two results.
Either the other party agrees, and everyone is happy.
Either you get rejected or embarrassed on the spot...
Lin Xian replied: “I don’t know.”
Ouyang Leyuan walked down from the stage happily. The crowd automatically made way for her and she walked towards this side with a smile on her face.
Lin Xian looked at Ouyang Leyuan who was walking towards him, and roughly guessed what she was going to do. He stood there straight, and suddenly his hand was held by a warm hand. He turned his head and saw Shen Chuwei beside him.
Who could have thought that I would encounter this on the last day of my stay here?
Ouyang Leyuan walked slowly to Lin Xian. She was dressed particularly beautifully today.
Everyone present followed Ouyang Leyuan's figure and saw Lin Xian in front of her. They vaguely guessed that he was the young master Lin Xian that Leyuan had taken a fancy to.
"This person looks strange, he doesn't look like a member of the Xing Miao tribe."
"You can tell from the clothes he's wearing that he's not from here."
"Why does Princess Le Yuan like a foreigner?"
Ouyang Leyuan took out her personal belongings, including the Ling Nang that she had worn since she was a child. It was embroidered with beautiful patterns and tied with red tassels at the bottom.
"Mr. Lin, I want you to be my husband."
Lin Xian took a look at the item in her hand. He saw her carrying it with her every time Ouyang Leyuan came these days. Considering those words, it was probably a token of love.
He didn't want to resolve the matter in public, but Ouyang Leyuan didn't give him the opportunity.
"Princess Le Yuan, you are of noble status and are extremely beautiful, but I already have a lover. Thank you for your kindness."
As soon as Lin Xian finished speaking, there was a burst of surprise from all around.
"How many people wanted to marry Princess Le Yuan, but he refused? He didn't even take Princess Le Yuan seriously."
"That's right, you don't know what's good for you. You actually dared to reject Princess Le Yuan."
When Ouyang Leyuan heard that he had a lover, she was stunned because she didn't expect that he had a lover. But when she thought about it, it made sense. How could a handsome man like Lin Xian not be liked by anyone? I'm afraid that the people who like him will line up all the way to the square.
"A man can have three wives and four concubines. I don't mind you taking concubines."
Lin Xian paused when he heard this. If it was someone else, he could have refused directly, but facing his savior, he couldn't remain silent.
"I promised her not to take a concubine."
But now it seems that she is quite satisfied with Xiao Jinyan's reaction. Fortunately, she had taken precautions in advance, otherwise it would be really embarrassing to be labeled as the savior.
Ouyang Leyuan asked in disbelief: "You got married."
Lin Xian nodded, "Yeah."
Ouyang Leyuan thought she had made such a big concession by sacrificing herself, but in the end, he didn't take a concubine for the sake of another woman?
How could she be willing to accept this?
Even though his sister acted capriciously and thoughtlessly, she was still his sister after all. Ouyang Jingyuan pulled her close to him and said, "You always act like this without considering the consequences."
Ouyang Leyuan had never met a man who could make her heart beat so fast. Even though he already had a wife, she was still unwilling to accept it.
"Who is your wife? I want to meet her."
Lin Xian glanced at Shen Chuwei. It was obvious that it was very sensible to suddenly reveal his true colors at this time. He retracted his gaze and looked at Ouyang Leyuan and said, "She is in Daxia."
Ouyang Jingyuan angrily shouted, "Haven't you had enough of this?"

The clan leader also walked over from the crowd and glanced at Lin Xian. He knew that this young man was rescued by his daughter, but he did not expect that his daughter would leave out so many young talents and choose a foreigner.
"Le Yuan, stop messing around."
Ouyang Leyuan was unwilling, but didn't know what to say.
The originally lively birthday party became a little awkward because of the part about choosing a son-in-law.
When they returned to the guest room, they saw Wu Tan standing under a tree, as if waiting for them.
She took the initiative to step forward and ask, "Master Wu Tan, is there something wrong?"
Lin Xian saw that Wu Tan’s eyes darkened.
Wu Tan took two steps forward and asked in a gentle voice, "Well, are you going back to Daxia or to Nanzhao?"
Shen Chuwei asked, "Going to Nanzhao Kingdom, what's wrong?"
Wu Tan said, "Nothing. I plan to go to Nanzhao. Since you are going too, I would like to go with you. Is that okay?"
"I'm fine." Shen Chuwei seemed to have thought of something, and asked curiously, "Is your hometown in Nanzhao Country?"
Seeing that she agreed so easily, Lin Xian frowned unhappily and said, "No, we are not going there to play."
Wu Tan did not look at Lin Xian, but nodded to Shen Chuwei, "Yeah."
Shen Chuwei tugged at Xiao Jinyan's sleeve and said, "Wutan's hometown is in Nanzhao Country. We are unfamiliar with the place. It will save us a lot of trouble to have him as a guide."
Wu Tan chuckled: "Nan Zhao Kingdom, I am very familiar with it."
Shen Chuwei tugged at his sleeve again, "You see, having someone familiar leading the way not only saves trouble, but also saves time."
Shen Chuwei actually just wanted to resolve Xiao Jinyan's issue as quickly as possible, then return to Daxia, and then reunite with her family.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xian glanced at Wu Tan and could only reluctantly agree.
After making an appointment with Wu Tan, the two returned to the guest room.
Lin Xian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea. When he saw Shen Chuwei, he handed it to her first, "You've eaten so much meat, drink some tea to get rid of the greasiness."
"Hmm." Shen Chuwei took the teacup, brought it to her mouth and took a few sips.
Lin Xian picked up the teacup and took a few sips of tea, then raised his eyes to look at Shen Chuwei in front of him. She had been drinking tea with her head down, and she was obviously very thirsty.
Shen Chuwei had drunk enough, so he put down the teacup, his tone full of excitement because he was about to leave this place.
"Let's rest early tonight and leave early tomorrow morning. I'll ask Qin Xiao to arrange the horses in advance."
Lin Xian nodded, "Yeah."
The two of them rested early.
At this time, the light was still on in Ouyang Leyuan's boudoir, and the sound of things being smashed could be heard from inside.
"Princess, please calm down." The maidservant trembled with fear and advised carefully.
Ouyang Leyuan's beautiful face became a little ferocious because of her unwillingness. She swept the hot tea on the table to the ground, and the scalding tea splashed on the maid's embroidered shoes.
"All of you get out of here."
“Yes, yes, yes…”
The maidservant was so frightened that her face turned pale and she quickly retreated.
After Ouyang Leyuan finished shouting, she still couldn't calm down. She sat at the table, thinking that Lin Xian would leave tomorrow. She felt not only unwilling but also reluctant.
She suddenly thought of the note that said Lin Xian would not come back after he left. It turned out that it was referring to the fact that he had already married.
That morning, Shen Chuwei and Lin Xian woke up early. In fact, they didn't even exchange greetings. Lin Xian came here empty-handed and left empty-handed as well.
No, when I left, there was another person beside me, Shen Chuwei.
Most of Shen Chuwei's things were in the space, so she just carried her luggage with her.
At the entrance of the imperial city gate, there was a carriage to take them out.
Ouyang Jingyuan and Ouyang Leyuan are both here.
good afternoon!
