Chapter 155 Meeting the Lantern Festival Again
Of course Jiang Changning didn’t know about all this. Knowing that Jiang Changbai was going to marry a wife, she just laughed it off.
The only ones who can take her heart are the people in the Jiang family in reality. She has always been able to tell the difference, except for Qin Huaisu who has protected her for two lifetimes.
Zhu Yu sent freshly picked green pears with thin skins and small cores, which look sweet. For some reason, she likes to go to Jiang Changning whenever she has something to do. Jiang Changning felt that there was no malice and let her go.
Jiang Changning washed and took a knife in his hand to carefully peel off the green pear. The snow-white flesh made her pink nails look great. Zhu Yu propped his head on the side and was almost absorbed in watching. When he saw that there was only the last small piece of peel left, a sharp pain surged from the depths of his mind again.
It was like being stabbed into the head with a needle.
Jiang Changning couldn’t help moaning, and the fruit in his hand rolled to the ground with a snort.
Zhu Yu’s face turned pale with fright, and he wanted to run outside to call for someone in a panic, but Jiang Changning grabbed his sleeve tightly.
Holding her head, she subconsciously felt that Qin Huaisu should not know about this matter.
“Don’t panic, it’s just an old illness, it will be fine in a while.” Jiang Changning knew that her face was ugly, but she had to hold Zhu Yu first.
“Pour me a glass of water.”
Zhu Yu was at a loss, hearing what Jiang Changning said, he quickly poured a glass of water and handed it to her lips. Jiang Changning endured the severe pain and drank a couple of sips, not sure if it was psychological comfort, but the pain eased a lot.
“Don’t tell the emperor about this.”
“But—” Zhu Yu was still hesitating, but Jiang Changning had already made the final decision with a blank face: “If you want to talk, then let’s talk about the matter of asking me to deliver your meal that day.”
Zhu Yu quickly knelt down and said he didn’t dare, and looked at Jiang Changning with a little more awe in his eyes.
After leaving court, Qin Huaisu went straight to Jiang Changning’s bedroom. His steps were brisk, with a youthful carefree face on his face.
“What happened, so happy?” Jiang Changning smiled and handed him the chopped fruit.
“Today is the Lantern Festival, do you want to go out of the palace to have a look?” Qin Huaisu ate a few pieces of pears, and held Jiang Changning’s hand calmly.
Lantern Festival? Jiang Changning’s expression moved slightly.
Thinking of the days and nights of the past, I feel a little sad in my heart.
Jiang Changning opened his lips and bit the flesh that Qin Huaisu stretched out his hand to feed her, looked at the trace of hope that flashed in his eyes, bent his smiling eyes and held his hand instead, and said “um”.
Qin Huaisu asked someone to bring up two casual clothes, took off the dragon robe and palace clothes and dressed up like ordinary people, no longer bound by the high wall of the throne, and only enjoyed this moment of happiness that belonged to the two of them with Jiang Changning.
“Come up?” Qin Huaisu sat on the horse’s back in a dashing black dress, and the horse kicked around Jiang Changning. The appearance of one man and one horse almost coincided with the scene of hunting in her memory, but now Qin Huaisu’s face was full of tenderness, and his eyes turned into puddles of spring water.
Jiang Changning’s eyes followed his movements, turning around a few times in place, and the soft skirt of the black and light-colored skirt was like a soft flower.
She passed her hand over, was grasped and flew into the air, and landed in front of Qin Huaisu the next moment, her back was tightly pressed against his chest, and she could still feel the vibration of his chest.
“Sit down.”
Qin Huaisu whispered in her ear, his big hands around her waist tightened for a moment, and the horse neighed and galloped along the official road.
Fortunately, Jiang Changning had some understanding of his horse-riding habits. He was only slightly startled, then swallowed the exclamation in his throat and leaned back with peace of mind.
The head-on wind was cool and pleasant, and the skirts of the two of them rustled, and when they overlapped, they looked like two ink clouds embracing each other.
The evening wind blows the dead leaves rustling above the head, the setting sun is about to fall, the sky is full of rays of light floating on the surface of the water, some small fish poke out from the water, take a look and then dive into the water shyly, the twilight gradually closes, The curved silver crescent hangs on the night in the east, and a piece of silvery moonlight falls.
Riding horses across the street, all kinds of lanterns had already been hung outside the palace city.
Qin Huaisu’s superior practice is to use heavy codes in troubled times, and it cannot be stopped without severe punishment. Although the method was a bit cruel, it was also because of this that he suppressed the officials who harbored ulterior motives. Instead, the common people had no pressure to breathe, and lived and worked in peace and contentment.
Qin Huaisu went straight all the way, stopped outside a temple, tied his horse under the eaves, and walked inside holding Jiang Changning’s hand.
“This is it?” Jiang Changning looked around curiously, a little funny in his heart, Qin Huaisu drove here with a clear purpose since he left the palace, but he still acted like a whim in the palace. It must have been premeditated.
Qin Huaisu curled his lips and didn’t explain, but he held Jiang Changning’s hand tighter, and walked back through the censer and the house in the front yard familiarly.
There were some pilgrims walking around in the temple, mostly young men and women. Jiang Changning’s heart moved slightly, and he guessed where it was.
The scent of candles curled up, and the light white mist lingered around, as if covering the gloomy old trees in the courtyard with a layer of hoarfrost.
is a three-living tree.
The three-living tree, born among the dead roots, was originally a locust tree, which withered for hundreds of years, regenerated a cypress in the roots, and withered for hundreds of years, and regenerated a ginkgo, which is now towering.
The leaves are green and the branches are strong. There are red ropes hanging on it and dancing in the wind. I don’t know how much love is entrusted.
Three lives are fixed under the three-life tree, and three lives are promised in front of the three-life stone.
Jiang Changning’s eyes were moist, Qin Huaisu believed in himself all his life, he didn’t ask God or depend on others, but he repeatedly broke all his bottom lines for her.
“Why are you crying?” Qin Huaisu’s gaze stayed in front of Jiang Changning, seeing the sparkle in the corner of her eyes, he couldn’t help reaching out to touch her face, and wiped away a drop of tear with his thumb: “But you don’t want to? “
Qin Huaisu is afraid, until now he has to admit it, Jiang Changning’s appearance and her closeness make him like a dream, too beautiful, but also too unreal.
Jiang Changning looked up at him, without blinking, shook his head gently but firmly, tiptoed and offered a kiss under the tree: “I am willing.”
I am willing to be in love with you for three lives, vow to abide by the golden alliance, and live and die with you forever.
Qin Huaisu embraced her for a while, and then went to the Taoist priest to get the Yuelao thread. A small piece of wood was hanging from both ends of the red rope, and the top was empty.
Qin Huaisu signed his name on one end, and his handwriting, which was usually flamboyant when approving memorials, was written carefully and neatly at this moment, for fear that Yue Lao could not read the words clearly and make others messy.
Jiang Changning held a brush at the other end, looked up at the person who was so serious that he pursed his lips, his heart seemed to be filled, it was full and sour for her, and then he wrote his name on it seriously.
Qin Huaisu stroked Jiang Changning’s handwriting, and felt a little more at ease in his heart. He carried the red rope to the three-life tree, took two steps in the air and flew to the branch, and tied the old age thread belonging to him and Changning to the tree. up to the top.
After doing all this, Qin Huaisu’s heart was finally settled. May this tree be able to reach the heavens and fulfill his only wish.
Qin Huaisu held Jiang Changning’s hand and stood at the bottom of the tree, turned his head and looked at her with a smile in his eyes: “If you tie the Yuelao thread, you will never leave me again.”
