After breaking off relations, the prince's family regretted it for the rest of their lives.

Chapter 289 Iron Tree Silver Flower

Chen Changan looked up and saw a dragon-shaped lantern.

The dragon's body is winding and twisting, as if it can take off into the air at any time, and its golden scales are shining brightly under the light.

Auspicious clouds linger around the dragon-shaped lantern, as if a dragon is soaring in the clouds; the presence of auspicious beasts adds to the majesty of the lantern.

Many people around were bowing and Yan Qing also put his hands together.

After paying respect to the lanterns, Yan Qing smiled and explained to Chen Changan: "This is the emperor's intention. He wants the dragon-shaped lantern to represent him and come out to have fun with the people."

"It should have appeared on the Lantern Festival, but for some reason this year, it was taken out on the Double Ninth Festival. Maybe it's because the treasury is full?"

Looking at the lanterns swaying their heads and tails, Chen Changan chuckled.

This father-in-law is really something. Wouldn’t it be better to save the money and recruit some soldiers?

It's wasted in a place like this.

Yan Qing didn't know what he was thinking: "Chang'an, let's go forward and buy a few lanterns on the way to support the prosperity of Da Chu."

Chen Changan did not refuse and followed Yan Qing.

Boom, boom, boom!

We had not walked far when we saw fireworks blooming in the sky like flowers.

The people all stretched their necks, clapped their hands and laughed loudly.

This is the iron tree and silver flower of Da Chu, an amazing visual feast.

In the dark night sky, countless bright lights suddenly burst out, streaking across the sky like shooting stars, carrying brilliant colors.

The silver sparks seemed like silver flakes falling from the stars. They flew and intertwined in the air like a gorgeous dance.

This could only be seen during the Lantern Festival, and it is truly magnificent.

Amidst the smoke, a deity flew high up.

"Ah, it's Yue Lao!"

Many young men and women exclaimed and walked towards Yue Lao like crazy.

Yue Lao was holding countless red strings in his hand, with papers attached to one end of the strings. These people seemed to be crazy and wrote down their wishes one after another.

"Master Yue Lao, please let Master Zhang take a good look at me!"

"As long as I can live happily with General Li forever, I would be willing to be a pig in my next life!"

"I want to become the twenty-ninth concubine of the Minister of Rites!"

Chen Changan laughed out loud when he heard this, and felt that a peaceful life was pretty good.

"Miss, would you like to buy a lantern?"

A vendor shouted, "The original price of the Pindaodao product is ten taels of silver, but today we have a discount. If you buy two in a group, it only costs fifteen taels!"

**An raised his middle finger to the vendor and said, "Are you trying to trick me?"

He was about to refuse, but Yan Qing smiled and said, “Well, since it’s a knife-splitting business, I have to support it and take two.”

"You have good taste!"

The vendor said happily: "My lanterns are called Flying with Wings Together. If you take a pair, you will definitely be able to be together with your loved one this year."

"I just think the lady looks kind, I wouldn't tell anyone else!"

Yan Qing's face flushed. She paid the money and got the lantern in return.

Yan Qing blushed, lowered her head shyly, and handed the lantern to Chen Changan tremblingly.

"Chang'an, the stall owner said that this lantern is called Flying Together, so I will give you one today."

"It is said that we will be together through life and death. I will hold your hand and be with you..."

Chen Changan understood Yan Qing's thoughts. He chuckled and was about to reach out to take it, but when he glanced around, he froze on the spot.

In the dim light, a woman in white stood quietly.

The figure seemed to have walked out of a painting, and in a trance, it felt like Zhao Qingcheng.

She was wearing a dress as white as snow, with long hair falling on her shoulders as soft as silk, and her eyes as clear as autumn water, as if she was looking for something, or seeming to recall something.

The lights around her flickered, but they were unable to warm the loneliness emanating from her.

Chen Changan didn't care about Yan Qing's lanterns. He stared at the figure blankly, and then his heart started beating wildly: "My wife, my wife, I miss you so much! My wife!!"

Chen Changan ran towards the figure hurriedly, but the street was crowded with people, and it was difficult to get there in a short time.

Yan Qing originally wanted to use the lanterns to express her feelings, but when she heard Chen Changan calling out another woman's name, she trembled all over and stood there in a daze, not daring to say a word.

It turns out that I have always been too sentimental.

Misty mist rose in Yan Qing's eyes. She gave the lantern to the child on the road and wanted to turn around and leave.

But when Yan Qing saw Chen Changan standing there in a daze, anxiously looking for Zhao Qingcheng, she felt sorry for him.

He walked up to Chen Changan and said softly, "Changan..."

"It's Qingcheng, Qingcheng!"

Chen Changan's heart was broken, and he held his head in pain: "Didn't you say you would return to the court first? Why didn't I see you in the court?"

"Where are you? Your Chen Lang has experienced life and death, do you know that?"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Chen Changan burst into tears in public.

No matter where it is, no matter if anyone laughs at it, it just flows freely.

Seeing Chen Changan crying so sadly, Yan Qing's lips trembled, and she bit her teeth and said, "Don't cry, Changan. You didn't shed tears on the battlefield to wipe out Honghua, so how can you cry here?"

"Get up and wipe your tears. Qingcheng doesn't want to see you like this!"

Having said that, how could Chen Changan not cry?

Yan Qing took him to sit on the side of the road. Chen Changan felt very sad and looked up at the bright moonlight.

"Ms. Yan, let me tell you the story of Qingcheng and me."

"You know me. I grew up in the Huainan Palace and longed for love since I was a child. Qingcheng's appearance is like a ray of light that warms me."

"The first time I met her was on my way to Baidi..."

Chen Changan told Yan Qing everything that happened between him and Zhao Qingcheng.

Yan listened in a daze, feeling a little touched in his heart. Since she was willing to sacrifice herself for Chen Changan, it was no wonder that Chen Changan was so obsessed with her.

"Changan, are you sure... that the person you just saw was Zhao Qingcheng?"

"Yes, absolutely!" Chen Changan said forcefully.

"Since Zhao Qingcheng appeared in Baidi City, the emperor must know where she went. Wouldn't it be better if we go to the palace and ask the emperor someday?"

Yan Qing comforted him softly: "Even if it doesn't work, I will go to the border with you one day and ask her family."

A look of surprise appeared on Chen Changan's face, and then he nodded solemnly.

Although it sounded a bit unpleasant to ask other women about their whereabouts in front of his father-in-law, for the sake of Zhao Qingcheng, he decided to go ahead without hesitation.

Even if that doesn't work, you can ask Zhao Qingcheng's family.

If she can give up her Chen Lang, can she also give up her family?

"Miss Yan, thank you."

Chen Changan finally smiled: "Aren't you going to treat me to a meal? Let's go, I'm hungry."

Chen Changan stretched out his hand, but Yan Qing did not. She stood up and followed him towards the restaurant.

After they left, a woman appeared from the corner of the wall.

The white clothes are whiter than snow, and the beauty is unparalleled.

She watched Chen Changan and Yan Qing walking away from each other, and somehow, tears rolled down her face.

"Chen Lang, Chen Lang..."

All around, there are sounds of heartbreak...
