Several people looked at the sky lanterns floating away, each with their own thoughts in their minds.
After a moment, Jiang Yueyang said loudly: "Next, let's go release river lanterns!"
"Release river lanterns, release river lanterns!" Aina's emotions were at their highest point.
At this moment, on the other side, Wen Shuyan and her cousin Ning Xuan were walking towards the river with lanterns.
Because the Left Prime Minister said that the Wen and Ning families were already relatives and there was no need to strengthen the relationship, he politely rejected the Ning family's intention of marriage. Therefore, the Ning family's eldest wife was a little unhappy, and Ning Anyu did not go out to play with the two of them.
Ning Xuan pretended to be casual and said, "Why doesn't my uncle want to marry into my uncle's family?"
Wen Shuyan lowered her head and pretended not to hear.
Ning Xuan leaned closer to Wen Shuyan, "Cousin, do you know why?"
"Father... Father has already said it, hasn't he?" Wen Shuyan turned her head away guiltily, "My uncle's family and my family are already relatives, there's no need to make them closer."
"But my aunt and my aunt mentioned the marriage between you and my cousin in a vague way before, and my aunt didn't refuse. Otherwise, my uncle and the others wouldn't have rashly mentioned this matter."
"This..." Wen Shuyan had no way to explain.
Ning Xuan gave a wicked smile, "Cousin, did you tell your uncle that you don't want to marry your cousin? Do you... have someone in your heart?"
Being asked so suddenly by her, Wen Shuyan's face flushed all the way to her ears, and her eyes dodged unconsciously, "Don't talk nonsense, I don't have it."
Neither of them noticed that someone not far behind them suddenly stopped when he heard Ning Xuan's words.
Ning Xuan refused to give in, holding Wen Shuyan's arm and shaking it gently, "You still say no, but look at your expression, there must be something wrong. Tell me quickly, who is that person?"
"He is..."
Before Wen Shuyan finished her words, the people behind them quickly stepped forward and stood in front of them.
Seeing someone blocking their way, the two of them subconsciously looked up.
Seeing the appearance of the person in front of her, Wen Shuyan couldn't help but slowly open her eyes, her heart beating rapidly.
Li Yan lowered his head, drooped his brows, and exuded a gloomy aura.
Ning Xuan frowned, "Why are you blocking our way, Master?"
"Mr. Li..."
Hearing Wen Shuyan's voice, Ning Xuan subconsciously turned her head to look at her. Seeing her expression, she understood instantly.
"You guys chat." Ning Xuan walked forward with a smile, "Cousin, I will go back by myself. You don't have to worry about me, have fun!"
After Ning Xuan walked away, Li Yan raised his eyes, looking at Wen Shuyan nervously with his hands not knowing where to put them, and said, "Miss Wen, I...I have something to tell you."
After hearing Li Yan's words, Wen Shuyan, who was already a little nervous, became even more nervous.

Back to Jiang Yueyang, the group arrived at the moat where the river lanterns were released.
There are a lot of people here, and most of them are men and women together.
Although they are based on love and ended with courtesy, it is not difficult to see that they are all lovers who have made an appointment to come here.
After Jiang Yueyang had chosen the lantern, she walked to the riverside and put down her lantern. After a while, she heard a clamoring sound.
"Sixth brother, your river lantern hit my river lantern."
"Third brother, you are wrongly accusing me. It was you who stirred up the water and caused my river lantern to hit it."
"That's right, my river lantern has also taken on water because of this." Aina exclaimed, "Oh, it's going to sink."
When the Third Prince saw his river lantern go out and sink into the water, he immediately stood up and said, "No, I want to release another one."
“I’ll put another one in, too.”
Aina followed the third prince to buy new river lanterns, and Ayimu, who was worried, also followed them.
Then, the Sixth Prince naturally followed.
Lu Yunting stood beside Jiang Yueyang and looked at her profile. After preparing himself mentally for a while, he reached out and gently held her hand.
Jiang Yueyang instinctively raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes sparkling.
"Yangyang."
"Um?"
"Do you know what I wrote on the sky lantern?"
Jiang Yueyang smiled faintly, "I guess it must be related to me."
"Yes." Lu Yunting tightened his grip on her hand. "Yangyang, I want to... marry you."
Jiang Yueyang's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and Lu Yunting's words kept echoing in her ears.
After a moment, she regained consciousness, her cheeks flushed, and she lowered her eyes shyly, "Ayue, now... it's not possible."
"So... you are willing, right?"
"I am willing now, but if..." Jiang Yueyang stared at him intently, "If you make a mistake or do something to let me down in the future, I will not be willing. Even if... I still like you."
Hearing Jiang Yueyang's words, Lu Yunting was not panicked, because he was sure that he would never let her down in this life.
"Yangyang, my love for you can be seen by the moon and the sky."
Meeting those passionate and affectionate eyes, Jiang Yueyang looked away in confusion, "I know...I know."
"Then... shall we get engaged first?"
Hearing the word "engagement", Jiang Yueyang slowly looked at him, her eyes tender and she replied softly, "Okay~"
Lu Yunting's eyes suddenly lit up like bright stars, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
He subconsciously raised his hand, wanting to hug her in his arms, but because it was a public place, he restrained himself.
His fingertips caressed her delicate skin, and his voice was full of joy, "Yangyang, I will go and tell His Majesty tomorrow."
Jiang Yueyang's cheeks were flushed, just like the peach blossoms blooming in spring, delicate and charming.
She lowered her head slightly and said softly, "The order is wrong. You should ask my parents' consent first."
Lu Yunting raised his hand and scratched his forehead embarrassedly, "Well... I was too nervous."
"Don't be nervous. My parents are easy to talk to."
