With Jiang Qianqian's encouragement and support, Zhao Yuanhao gradually emerged from his despair and frustration. He rallied and worked hard alongside Jiang Qianqian to make a living. Together, they ran Tianxiang Restaurant and faced life's challenges. Although they lost their former wealth and status, they gained a more genuine and profound affection for each other.
Time flies like an arrow; in the blink of an eye, Jiang Qianqian and Zhao Yuanhao have weathered several years of ups and downs together. Their affection has grown stronger, like a fine aged wine, becoming more mellow with each passing year. They support and encourage each other, forging ahead on the path of life. No matter what difficulties and challenges they encounter, they can overcome them hand in hand, creating a bright future together.
Jiang Shichen also gained more experience and matured in the palace. Through his talent and hard work, he gradually rose to prominence in the court. He deeply understood the honor and expectations he carried for his family, and therefore worked even harder to serve the Great Zhou Kingdom. He proved his worth through his actions and brought more glory to his family.
Ultimately, after countless trials and tribulations, Zhao Yuanhao regained the court's recognition. Through his talent and hard work, he once again distinguished himself in officialdom. He proved his ability and value through his actions, earning the respect and admiration of many. His relationship with Jiang Qianqian deepened, and together they created a bright future for themselves.
This experience made Jiang Qianqian and Zhao Yuanhao cherish their relationship even more, and it also helped them understand the true meaning of life. They realized that love is not just about romance and passion, but also about supporting each other and facing difficulties together. In the days to come, they will join hands and create a better tomorrow together.
Jiang Qianqian remained by Zhao Yuanhao's side throughout, sharing this hard-won happiness with him. Their story unfolds like a delicate scroll, telling a tale of love, growth, and perseverance.
It was a bright and sunny afternoon. Qi Guze and Xu Yuehuai sat facing each other on an antique sandalwood chair. Their gazes were fixed on the distant world of children filled with laughter and joy. A gentle breeze stirred, causing their clothes to flutter, as if even time itself had paused.
Xu Yuehuai gently stroked the armrest of the chair, the marks of time leaving mottled imprints on it, as if telling touching stories. She turned to look at Qi Guze, her eyes sparkling with warmth.
“Aze, look at them.” Xu Yuehuai pointed to the children playing in the distance, a gentle smile on her face. “Each of them is so innocent and lovely, as if they are a gift from heaven.”
Qi Guze smiled slightly, his fingers tracing a line in the air as if outlining the future of each child.
"Yes, they are like our hope, the continuation of our lives." Qi Guze's tone was full of emotion. "Watching them grow up healthily fills our hearts with joy and pride."
Their conversation revealed a deep love and expectation for the children. They seemed to see the children's future, and their figures chasing their dreams and creating happiness.
Meanwhile, inside Tianxiang Restaurant, Jiang Qianqian was busily setting up the venue. Her fingers deftly moved among the various ingredients, each dish appearing as a work of art she had meticulously crafted. Under her skillful hands, Tianxiang Restaurant was revitalized, becoming a unique culinary paradise in the capital.
Zhao Yuanhao entered Tianxiang Restaurant, his gaze lingering on the busy Jiang Qianqian. Looking at her focused expression, a warm feeling welled up inside him. He walked to her side and said softly, "Qianqian, you've worked hard."
Jiang Qianqian looked up and saw Zhao Yuanhao, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. She put down her work and said with a smile, "Yuanhao, you're here."
Zhao Yuanhao looked at the beads of sweat on her forehead, his heart filled with tenderness. He reached out and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead, saying softly, "Don't overwork yourself, it will break my heart."
Jiang Qianqian felt a warmth in her heart, and a touch of emotion flashed in her eyes. She held Zhao Yuanhao's hand and said softly, "It's okay. As long as I can see that you like the food I cook, I'm very happy."
They smiled at each other, as if the whole world had stood still for them. Their feelings for each other grew stronger with the passage of time, and every glance and every gesture was filled with deep affection.
Finally, one day, Zhao Yuanhao decided to propose to Jiang Qianqian. He arranged a dreamlike proposal scene on the top floor of Tianxiang Tower. Flowers, candlelight, music—everything seemed to exist for this moment.
When Jiang Qianqian stepped into this romantic space, her eyes were filled with surprise and emotion. Zhao Yuanhao stood before her, kneeling on one knee, holding a dazzling ring in his hands.
"Qianqian, will you marry me?" Zhao Yuanhao's voice trembled, but his eyes were filled with determination and expectation.
Jiang Qianqian looked at him, tears welling in her eyes. She nodded slightly and said, her voice choked with emotion, "I do."
Zhao Yuanhao was overjoyed to hear her answer. He stood up and, following the method Xu Yuehuai had secretly taught him, gently slipped the ring onto her finger, then pulled her tightly into his arms.
"Thank you, Qianqian." Zhao Yuanhao's voice rang in Jiang Qianqian's ears. "I will use all my love to protect you and make you the happiest woman in the world."
Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze served as witnesses to the happy moment of the newlyweds. They held a grand wedding for Jiang Qianqian and Zhao Yuanhao. The wedding was attended by many guests, and the atmosphere was filled with laughter and joy. The Duke and Duchess of Zhenguo also attended in person to offer their congratulations and presented Jiang Qianqian with a generous dowry.
"Thank you, Your Excellency, Duke of Zhenguo; thank you, Your Excellency, Madam, Lady of Zhenguo." Jiang Qianqian bowed respectfully to the two elders.
Xu Yuehuai laughed and joked, "No need to be polite, we're all family. My parents have prepared a very lavish meal for you, so please cherish it."
Zhou Wan watched all this from the sidelines, feeling happy for Jiang Qianqian. Tie Xiong then quietly said to Zhou Wan, "If you like it, I will hold an even grander wedding for you in the future."
Zhou Wan gently shook her head and smiled, "No need, I just like this kind of simple happiness."
The wedding concluded in a joyful and peaceful atmosphere. Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze sat in the main seats, receiving tea from the newlyweds. Their faces were filled with satisfied and happy smiles, as if they were seeing a reflection of their younger selves.
Even after the wedding, Tianxiang Restaurant remained bustling with activity. Guests raised their glasses to toast the newlyweds' happiness.
