Chapter 191 Flower Festival
As I was strolling around, I was suddenly surrounded by a group of old women.
"Oh my! This young lady is quite beautiful!"
"That figure, that face, she's even more beautiful than a fairy in a painting!"
"Come, come, come! Today is the Flower Festival, we're choosing the Flower Goddess, you absolutely must participate!"
Before Su Yaoyao could react, she was dragged away by several enthusiastic old women.
"Wait—" She turned around to look at the two men who were still arguing about choosing lanterns.
As a result, the two of them were busy picking out red and pink clothes, and didn't even notice her.
Su Yaoyao: "..."
Forget it.
I can't be bothered with them.
---
Over here, Xiao Chenyuan and He Qing finally chose the lamps.
One is red, and the other is pink.
The two turned around, ready to show off to Su Yaoyao.
Then they discovered the person was gone.
Xiao Chenyuan's expression changed.
"Slender?"
He Qing also looked around.
"Owner?"
The two exchanged a glance and rushed into the crowd at the same time.
I had only run a few steps when I suddenly heard a cheer.
"The Flower Goddess has appeared!"
The crowd automatically parted to form a path.
Xiao Chenyuan looked up—
Then he froze.
Su Yaoyao walked slowly through the crowd.
She wore fresh flowers in her hair: red peonies, pink peach blossoms, and white magnolias.
The flowers accentuated her beautiful face, making her eyebrows resemble distant mountains; with a glance, all the flowers on the table paled in comparison.
Beneath the sheer veil, her voluptuous figure was faintly visible, yet it did not appear frivolous at all; instead, it exuded a graceful and noble beauty.
Like the goddess of peonies.
Like a fairy who stepped out of a painting.
The audience was stunned.
"Whose wife is this?"
"My God, it's so beautiful!"
"Goddess of Flowers!"
Xiao Chenyuan stood still, watching her approach step by step.
His Adam's apple bobbed.
This is his wife.
his.
He Qing, standing nearby, was also stunned.
"...So beautiful," he murmured.
Then he looked at Xiao Chenyuan, and curled his lip.
"You're so lucky."
Xiao Chenyuan finally came to his senses.
He wanted to go forward, to pick her up, to hide her away so that no one could see her.
But before he could move, a commotion suddenly erupted behind him.
"Slender little sister!"
Anar's voice boomed from the crowd.
Xiao Chenyuan turned around and saw his brother-in-law, Su Qingrun, being pulled by Anar and squeezed towards them.
"Make way! Make way! Make way!" Anar pushed through the crowd and rushed to the front of the stage.
Wow! You're so beautiful, little sister!
Su Qingrun was pulled so hard by her that she stumbled and was stunned when she looked at her younger sister.
"……good."
Anar glared at him.
"What do you mean 'just okay'? It's absolutely gorgeous!"
Jiang Wan Ning pulled Jiang Huai Jin along as they ran over, followed by Jiang Jing Chen and Chu Qing Zi. The two walked side by side, one gentle and refined, the other aloof and elegant, making them a striking pair.
Jiang Wan Ning's eyes sparkled.
"Cousin, you're so beautiful!"
Jiang Huaijin held the sugar figurine and called out in a childish voice,
"Sister Yaoyao is a flower fairy!"
Su Yaoyao smiled, her eyes crinkling.
Then,
Ashina Lie squeezed in, his eyes wide with astonishment.
"Miss Su... no, Crown Princess, you today..."
He was unable to speak.
Xie Yu patted him on the shoulder.
"Don't even think about it, it belongs to someone else."
Ashina Lie glanced at him.
"Aren't you one too?"
The two exchanged a glance and sighed simultaneously.
More and more people gathered, forming layers upon layers.
Standing in the crowd, Xiao Chenyuan looked at Su Yaoyao, who was surrounded by everyone, and felt a mix of sweetness and bitterness in his heart.
The sweet thing is, she is his wife.
It's sour...
He had prepared a surprise!
He had lanterns prepared all over the river!
He planned to take her to see it tonight and then tell her that he would spend every Flower Festival with her from now on.
But now...
He looked at the pit and valley filled with people and fell silent.
A crowd surrounded her, and he couldn't squeeze in at all!
He Qing stood by, gloating.
"Hey, cousin, you don't look too good."
Xiao Chenyuan glanced at him.
He Qing laughed even louder.
"It's alright, it's alright," he patted Xiao Chenyuan's shoulder, "It's good to have some excitement, it's good to have some excitement."
Xiao Chenyuan took a deep breath.
lively.
It was quite lively.
The excitement ruined all the surprises he had prepared.
---
Su Yaoyao was surrounded by the crowd.
Anar held her hand and chattered on and on.
Jiang Wan Ning squeezed to the side, her eyes sparkling.
Jiang Huaijin hugged her legs, insisting that she hug him.
Su Qingrun stood aside, watching the chaotic scene with a blank expression.
Ashina Lie leaned closer and whispered.
"Your sister is really popular."
Su Qingrun glanced at him.
"What are you trying to say?"
Ashina Lie laughed.
"It's nothing, just a thought."
Chu Qingzi stood beside Jiang Jingchen, looking at Su Yaoyao surrounded by the crowd, and the corners of her lips slightly raised.
Jiang Jingchen looked down at her.
"What are you laughing at?"
Chu Qingzi withdrew her gaze.
"It's nothing."
Jiang Jingchen looked at her slightly reddened ear tips, smiled, and didn't ask any more questions.
----
Su Yaoyao finally broke free from the crowd and walked up to Xiao Chenyuan.
She looked up at him, her eyes sparkling.
"Your Highness!"
Xiao Chenyuan looked down at her.
"Um."
"Did you see that just now? They all said I looked good!"
In Xiao Chenyuan's phoenix eyes, there was amazement, doting, and a hint of helpless indulgence.
"...It looks good," he said.
Su Yaoyao blinked.
"Why is Your Highness unhappy?"
Xiao Chenyuan remained silent for a moment,
"I'm happy," he said.
Su Yaoyao didn't believe it.
"real?"
Xiao Chenyuan looked at her and suddenly smiled.
That smile was gentle, yet full of doting affection.
"Really," he said. "Your happiness is my happiness."
Su Yaoyao felt a surge of sweetness in her heart, and tiptoed to kiss him on the cheek.
"Your Highness is so kind."
Beside him, He Qing clicked his tongue twice.
"Alright, alright, I know you two are very much in love."
Su Yaoyao glared at him.
He Qing laughed and dodged away.
Anar came closer.
"Let's go! Let's release some lanterns! I bought so many!"
She pulled Su Yaoyao away.
Su Yaoyao turned around and glanced at Xiao Chenyuan.
Xiao Chenyuan sighed and followed.
Behind him, a group of people busily made their way to the riverbank.
He Qing waved his fan and followed slowly.
"Cousin," he said, "I'm afraid this surprise of yours will have to wait until next time."
Xiao Chenyuan glanced at him.
"Shut up."
He Qing laughed even harder.
Along the riverbank, lanterns were placed into the water one by one.
Red, pink, yellow, and purple, drifting away with the current into the distance.
Su Yaoyao squatted by the river, watching her lantern drift away.
Xiao Chenyuan stood behind her.
"Did you make a wish?" he asked.
Su Yaoyao nodded.
"It's granted."
"What is your wish?"
Su Yaoyao turned to look at him, her eyes crinkling with laughter.
I won't tell you.
Xiao Chenyuan smiled.
He bent down and whispered in her ear.
"I agree."
Su Yaoyao blinked.
"What is your wish?"
Xiao Chenyuan looked at her.
"To have someone always by my side."
Su Yaoyao blushed.
Beside her, Anar held Su Qingrun's hand.
"Make a wish quickly!"
Su Qingrun remained expressionless.
"No."
"No, you can't!"
"...It's granted."
"What is the promise?"
"...I won't tell you."
Anar moved closer.
"Then let me tell you what I mean—I hope you'll marry me soon!"
Su Qingrun's ears turned red again.
Jiang Jingchen and Chu Qingzi stood side by side, neither of them speaking, but at the same time they placed the lanterns into the water.
Two lamps, drifting side by side with the current, float away into the distance.
Xie Yu stood at a distance, watching this scene, and smiled.
He raised the wine jug in his hand and offered a toast from afar.
Then he drank it all in one gulp.
Ashina Lie walked over and patted him on the shoulder.
"Hey bro, wanna have a drink?"
Xie Yu glanced at him.
"drink."
The two walked away arm in arm.
Along the riverbank, lights twinkled and laughter filled the air.
This night is the Flower Festival.
That night, the whole city was covered in blooming flowers.
Everyone was there that night.
Xiao Chenyuan looked at Su Yaoyao beside him, and the corners of his lips slightly lifted.
The surprise is gone.
But it's enough that she's here.
Just then, a servant hurriedly squeezed through the crowd, walked to Chu Qingzi's side, and whispered a few words.
Chu Qingzi's expression changed slightly.
She walked over to Su Yaoyao and lowered her voice.
"Graceful".
Su Yaoyao turned around.
Chu Qingzi looked at her, speaking each word clearly.
"The woman has woken up."
