Chapter 1018: A Lifetime of Love at First Glance
Seeing his firm attitude, she no longer insisted, because she didn't want to do anything to make him unhappy.
When the two entered the palace together, Jiang Heng was reading classics from the previous dynasty in the imperial study.
Jiang Heng was very happy to see them. He immediately put down his book and ran over: "Aunt, uncle, are you here to pick me up to celebrate the New Year at Feng Mansion?"
Xiao Zhan had mentioned before that he would take him to Feng Mansion to celebrate the New Year, and he had been looking forward to this day.
Jiang Xue handed him a sandalwood box and said with a smile, "Happy New Year!"
Jiang Heng opened it and found a small crossbow inside. He was surprised: "Aunt, what is this?"
"This small crossbow can be worn on the wrist. It contains twelve silver needles coated with tendon softening powder. If you are in danger, you can use it to protect yourself."
She touched his head and whispered, "But I hope you never have to use it."
Jiang Heng nodded, put the crossbow on his wrist and asked, "Aunt, can you teach me how to use it?"
"sure."
Jiang Xue patiently taught him how to use it, and soon Jiang Heng learned it, with a rare innocent smile on his face.
Jiang Xue pinched his face gently, and they both laughed.
Xiao Zhan, who was watching from the side, was filled with tenderness when he saw Jiang Xue's gentle look when she was teaching Jiang Heng.
He felt that Jiang Xue was not only the best woman, but also destined to be an excellent mother.
Feeling Xiao Zhan's gaze, Jiang Xue touched her face and asked, "Yun Che, why are you looking at me like this? Is there something wrong with my face?"
Jiang Heng took a look and said, "There's nothing on Auntie's face."
"Then your cousin must think I'm pretty, that's why he looks at me like that." Jiang Xue said with a smile.
Jiang Heng asked curiously: "Uncle, is it really because of this reason?"
Xiao Zhan smiled and replied: "Xiaoxue is indeed beautiful, no matter how much I look at her, I can't get enough of her. Today, my cousin wants to teach you something important."
Jiang Heng asked expectantly, "What is it?"
He knew that what his cousin taught was very important.
Xiao Zhan squatted down, looked him in the eye and said, "Remember, when you like a girl, just keep looking at her. One day she will become your wife."
Hearing this, Jiang Xue couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Jiang Heng frowned and questioned, "Don't you say don't look at anything inappropriate? It's not appropriate to keep staring at a girl."
"It is important to be a gentleman, but it is more important to pursue the one you love. You will understand this in the future."
Jiang Heng suddenly had an idea and jokingly asked, "Uncle, is this how you brought your aunt home?"
This made Jiang Xue burst into laughter, and she laughed until her stomach hurt.
"No, my stomach hurts." She said, holding her stomach.
Before she finished speaking, Xiao Zhan and Jiang Heng quickly supported her and looked at her worriedly. After all, she was pregnant now, and any discomfort should not be underestimated.
"Aunt, are you okay?"
"Xiaoxue, I'll get someone to find the imperial physician right away."
Jiang Xue quickly explained: "Don't worry, I just laughed too hard. Just take a break."
So, Xiao Zhan and Jiang Heng carefully helped her to the couch to rest.
Being cared for by the two of them, Jiang Xue felt extremely happy and even began to look forward to having a boy in her belly, so that she would have one more man to protect her in the future.
As soon as she leaned down, her pain disappeared.
Seeing that she was fine, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief. Jiang Xue gently stroked Jiang Heng's head and said with a smile: "Heng'er, remember your cousin's words, this is very important to you."
"So, this is how my aunt was really brought home by my cousin?" Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan smiled at each other, recalling their first meeting.
That was in Jiang Ke's study, and he was attracted by her innocent and lovely appearance at first sight.
Later, by chance, she asked him directly why he kept looking at her, and he cleverly made up an excuse to get away with it.
Unexpectedly, this one glance determined their lives.
"That's right."
Jiang Xue replied: "Aunt was brought back home by your cousin's eyes."
"I see." Jiang Heng nodded seriously.
Many years later, when he tried to pursue the girl he liked using the same method, he was mistaken for a lecher and severely scolded. Only then did he realize that he should not have believed their words all those years ago.
The three of them chatted and laughed as they left the palace in a carriage and headed straight for Feng Mansion.
Since this was the first year after Madam Feng's death, there were no red lanterns hanging in the mansion and no red silk decorations, making it seem a little deserted.
But as soon as they got off the car, the doorman lit firecrackers, and the crackling sound immediately brought the New Year's atmosphere.
When Xiao Zhan helped Jiang Heng and Jiang Xue get out of the car, Lin Yin had been waiting at the door with Feng Zhiming and Feng Liangjue for a long time.
As the three of them entered the house, the sound of firecrackers outside continued. This New Year's Eve was obviously much more lively than last year.
Lin Yin asked the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner, and specially prepared dishes and soup made with Houttuynia cordata for Jiang Xue. The family sat together, having a great time.
After dinner, Xiao Zhan took the children to the yard to set off fireworks and had a lot of fun.
Jiang Xue watched from the side, her heart filled with warmth. She had spent New Year's Eve alone for many years, and she had almost forgotten that this was supposed to be a happy night. Until now, because of Yun Che, she felt this happiness again.
Lin Yin approached and asked softly, "Princess, how many months have you been pregnant?"
Jiang Xue gently stroked her belly and smiled, "It's almost three months."
Lin Yin also smiled: "In another month or two, I will be able to feel the baby moving in my belly."
“I know, it feels magical and blissful.”
Lin Yin looked at Feng Liangjue who was playing in the fireworks and said slowly:
"Yes, at that moment you will feel that your child is the most precious gift God has given you. No matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, you will have the courage to face them."
"Indeed."
Lin Yin handed Jiang Xue two fireworks and said, "Princess, look how happy they are having, let's go set off some fireworks too."
Jiang Xue was slightly stunned. The last time she set off fireworks was when her brother was still alive. Time flies.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Lin Yin thought she was unwilling, so he explained that it was a beautiful memory of the only time she and Tianyu spent New Year's Eve together, and hoped that Jiang Xue could accompany her to relive that beauty.
After hearing this, Jiang Xue felt full of sympathy for Lin Yin.
How lucky she was, at least she still had his love for her in her heart.
"Second sister-in-law, two fireworks are not enough to satisfy your craving. Can you ask the servants in the mansion to bring more? I will accompany you to set off as many fireworks as you want tonight."
Lin Yin ordered people to bring in a lot of fireworks. Soon, the whole courtyard was lit up by the gorgeous fireworks, which was extraordinary and beautiful.
Through the bright fireworks, Jiang Xue saw a happy smile on Lin Yin's face, and she couldn't help but smile too.
Everything she and Xiao Zhan did without telling Lin Yin might be the best arrangement for Lin Yin.
As the night deepened, the children were already exhausted from playing.
After Xiao Zhan gave New Year's money to Feng Zhiming and Feng Liangjue, he took Jiang Heng back to the bedroom.
