Gu Qingluan followed a maidservant into the Bright Hall.

The entire Bright Hall was made of jade, emitting a warm luster under the moonlight. From a distance, she could hear the faint music and laughter coming from inside.

As Gu Qingluan stepped in, the hall instantly fell silent, and all eyes turned towards her.

The first to speak was Jun Longyuan, sitting at the head of the hall. He smiled at Gu Qingluan and said, “Luan’er, come over and sit here.”

Gu Qingluan curved her lips and gracefully made her way over.

“Luan’er is becoming more beautiful by the day!”

“There are so many beauties in the world, but Luan’er not only possesses beauty but also formidable strength. That’s truly admirable!”

“Exactly, the Young Palace Mistress is different from those women who are all looks and no substance. Comparing them to the Young Palace Mistress would be an insult!”

Everyone praised her without reservation.

Facing such praise, Gu Qingluan was accustomed to it and walked step by step to the innermost part of the hall.

Suddenly, she paused in her steps and turned to look at the young man seated on the right.

Those who could sit in the hall of the Infinite Palace were mostly elders and hall masters of the Infinite Palace, much older than Gu Qingluan. However, this young man looked exceptionally young, with clear and tranquil black eyes, dressed in white like an exiled immortal.

“Jingchu, why are you here?” Gu Qingluan was pleasantly surprised.

Yun Jingchu raised an eyebrow. “Don’t welcome me?”

“Welcome, why wouldn’t 1 welcome you? I’m so happy to see you!”

Upon hearing this, Yun Jingchu smiled, and it seemed as if countless pear blossoms were blooming at once, even more dazzling than the Bright Hall illuminated by the sun and moon.

The Third Elder said, “Palace Master, look at Luan’er, she’s so happy to see Young Master Yun. Both of them are at the age to discuss marriage. Shouldn’t we arrange something for them?”

Others joined in agreement.

Yun Jingchu didn’t say anything, but the light in his eyes seemed to brighten a few degrees.

Gu Qingluan, seeing this, didn’t show any shyness on her face. She glanced at Yun Jingchu, who was sitting quietly, probably feeling hesitant to respond directly to the Third Elder. So she used her beautiful eyes to glare at the Third Elder and said, “Third Elder, don’t talk nonsense. Jingchu and 1 are just friends.”

The tender-hearted man’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and the light in his eyes dimmed instantly.

Seeing this, Gu Qingluan felt a lump in her heart.

Jingchu was her best friend, and she didn’t want him to feel unhappy.

The Third Elder touched his beard and chuckled. “Alright, alright, 1 won’t say anything more. Friends, you two are just friends.”

Although he said that, the look in his eyes as he glanced at the two of them clearly meant something else.

Gu Qingluan had no choice but to remain silent.

She took her seat, which happened to be directly across from Yun Jingchu.

She raised her head and offered Yun Jingchu an apologetic expression.

The Third Elder, who had no filter, hoped that Yun Jingchu wouldn’t mind.

Yun Jingchu was looking at her, his ink-black eyes fixed on her.

Gu Qingluan was slightly taken aback.

At that moment, Yun Jingchu’s voice echoed in her mind, “Don’t you want to marry me?”

“W-what?” Gu Qingluan’s heart skipped a beat.

Yun Jingchu gazed deeply at her. “I thought… that you also held affection for me.”

Gu Qingluan’s face seemed to burn up, and her heartbeat became erratic.

“Have you forgotten our promise?”

Promise?

Several images flashed through Gu Qingluan’s mind.

When they were still young, it seemed… as if… she would grow up to marry him.

“You’re having second thoughts?”

Upon hearing Yun Jingchu’s words, Gu Qingluan immediately denied, “Absolutely not!”

“That’s good then!”

Yun Jingchu curved his lips into an elegant and charming smile.

Gu Qingluan couldn’t help but get lost in his smile.

Then, Yun Jingchu stood up, producing a jade box from somewhere. He held it in both hands and respectfully addressed Jun Longyuan, “Palace Master, 1 have long held affection for Qingluan I earnestly request Palace Master to bestow Qingluan to me in marriage. I am willing to offer the Cloud Soaring City as a dowry.”

In an instant, the hall erupted in excitement.

“Cloud Soaring City? That’s the most prosperous city in the Northern Region. Yun kid is quite generous!”

“What’s the big deal? In the future, our Infinite Palace will be Qingluan’s, and Cloud Soaring City is just a city. He thinks he can marry Qingluan with just a city? Quite ambitious!”

“You can’t put it that way. Young Master Yun and Qingluan have been childhood sweethearts, and their feelings are deep. How can you measure it with mundane possessions?”

“This kid clearly likes our Young Palace Mistress. In the future, it’s not just Cloud Soaring City; the entire Yun family’s assets will be shared with our Young Palace Mistress!”

The crowd discussed fervently, their faces filled with joy, and there was no opposition to this marriage.

Gu Qingluan looked at Yun Jingchu in surprise.

He turned his head slightly, his dark and gentle eyes smiling at her, showing no signs of guilt for not seeking permission in advance.

Gu Qingluan wasn’t angry either, but she couldn’t shake the feeling that something was amiss.

But every time she tried to think about it, her head would ache.

What happened next seemed to fall into place naturally.

Jun Longyuan had watched the two of them grow up and was quite satisfied with Yun Jingchu.

So, the marriage was settled.

The wedding date was set for three months later.

In the blink of an eye, the day of their union arrived..
