1717 Chaoyan!


    “So they left voluntarily, making themselves look good.”


    “….”


    “We should stay most rmed towards the Cangyan Door about Golden Rolls.”


    “….”


    “As for Snow Territory…”


    “….”


    “Snow Territory is very strange. But Snow Territory is more capable than Piaomiao Pavilion and the Cangyan Door, since both of the schools are trying to avoid meeting Snow Territory.”


    “….”


    “Snow Territory has no interest in Golden Rolls….” Gu Chaoyan said and felt messy in head. She just could not see through the Head of Snow Territory.


    Zhou Huaijin noticed her frown, and without hesitation, he enveloped her in his arms, soothingly stroking her furrowed brow. “You don’t have to worry. I’m by your side, and no matter what they want or how they behave, they will never harm you.”


    Gu Chaoyan’s smile brightened as she nodded in agreement.


    Disregarding the persistent hidden guard who was attempting to get his attention, Zhou Huaijin chose to remain with Gu Chaoyan at Xunyang’s Pce.


    Located in close proximity to the Weiyang Pce, where many events unfolded the previous night, the following day appeared deceptively calm and unchanged.


    The serene ambiance of Xunyang’s Pce was enhanced by its lush garden, where Seven, the fox spirit, yfully scampered about amidst the verdant foliage.


    The staff at the pce was sparse, as they had previously served Princess Xunyang. With her departure, they remained in their positions, diligently maintaining the cleanliness and order of XunYang’s Pce.


    Zhou Huaijin guided Gu Chaoyan into the inner chamber, where he assisted her in removing her coat and settling her beneath the warm covers. Tenderly, he suggested, “Why don’t you take a short nap? Afterward, we can enjoy a meal together.”


    With a tender gaze, Zhou Huaijin approached Gu Chaoyan, his eyes filled with affection as he observed her slender face. His actions and ns had fallen into ce just as he had intended.


    In the court, discussions revolved around the forting crowning ceremony. Yet, amidst the grandeur and political affairs, Zhou Huaijin’s thoughts were consumed by another significant event—their wedding.


    In the past, he had made a promise to Gu Chaoyan—a pledge that once he ascended the throne and established his authority unchallenged within the Saint Divine Land, they would wed, with Chaoyan bing his sole queen.


    And now, the time had arrived.


    Overwhelmed by his emotions, Zhou Huaijin couldn’t contain his excitement, causing his body to tremble slightly as he tenderly caressed Gu Chaoyan’s forehead.


    “The Ministry of Rites is constructing Shixing Pce. Why don’t we let Prime Minister Chu handle the arrangements for our wedding?” Zhou Huaijin suggested, his voice filled with anticipation.


    Though Zhou Huaijin had maintained aposed demeanor in front of the king, ministers, officers, and even Piaomiao Pavilion, he couldn’t help but tremble in front of Gu Chaoyan. His emotions were overwhelming, making it difficult to remain calm.


    Chaoyan’s response was an immediate and unwavering “Okay,” without a trace of hesitation. Hearing her agreement, Zhou Huaijin felt a surge of emotions welling up within him, bringing him to the verge of tears—a sensation he had never experienced before.


    He had never felt such intense excitement in his entire life.


    “Unfortunately, my mother and Xunyang won’t be able to attend our wedding. However, that’s alright. If we have the opportunity in the future, we can have another wedding just for the two of us,” Gu Chaoyan reassured him, her words filled with warmth and understanding.


    ” “…”


    “Chaoyan.”


    ” “…”


    “Chaoyan.”


    Zhou Huaijin mumbled, as he buried his head into her armpit.
