Chapter 1030: Growing into a Good Emperor
"Aunt, can I touch your Changhong Sword?"
Since she became pregnant, Jiang Xue no longer carried her sword with her, but placed it in the armory.
Since her younger brother Jiang Heng wanted to see it, of course she was happy to do so.
She took out the Changhong Sword and handed it to Jiang Heng. The sword was heavy, but he had been learning martial arts for a year and a half, so he could still hold it.
Looking at the sword in his hand, Jiang Heng thought, this sword is so heavy, not to mention the national responsibility that his aunt shoulders.
She must be having a hard time. He secretly vowed to grow up quickly, to help her share the burden and make her life easier.
"Heng'er."
Seeing that he was in a daze, Jiang Xue asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Jiang Heng came back to his senses: "I was thinking that this sword is so heavy, I have to grow up quickly."
Jiang Xue smiled and said, "More haste, less speed. Don't be impatient."
"Aunt, can I draw this sword and see?"
Jiang Xue was a little hesitant. Although she had carefully cleaned the Changhong Sword, there was still a trace of blood on the sword. She was worried that this would affect her nephew.
After all, he is still young. Perhaps, after becoming a mother, one's heart will become extra soft.
Xiao Zhan interrupted, "Xiaoxue, since Heng'er wants to see it, let him see it."
So Jiang Xue nodded in agreement, and Jiang Heng carefully drew out the Changhong Sword. It was shining with a cold light, like a rainbow in autumn. It was really a good sword.
He also sensed the faint smell of blood and understood her concerns.
Xiao Zhan continued, "Heng'er, you see, a sword has two edges, and a person also has two sides. Although a sword is a deadly weapon, it can also be used to do good deeds. The key lies in the person who uses the sword.
As the future monarch, you must learn how to use the invisible sword of the emperor to make the country prosperous and the people healthy."
Jiang Heng said firmly: "Uncle, I will master my emperor's sword well and not let it become a weapon to hurt people, but a weapon to protect my country and the people.
I know I am still young and cannot be a good emperor yet, so please teach me more, uncle and sister."
Xiao Zhan smiled with relief: "You have done very well."
Jiang Xue also gently stroked his head: "Yes, Heng'er did a good job. Let's take our time, no need to rush."
Then, Jiang Heng sheathed the sword: "Aunt, this Changhong Sword was given to you by my father, which means he likes you very much. But, he doesn't like me, right?"
Hearing this, Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan exchanged glances and frowned.
Jiang Heng said softly: "It doesn't matter if my father doesn't like me, because I don't have a deep impression of him, so I don't feel sad. As long as my aunt and cousin love me forever, that's enough."
Jiang Xue felt a pang of sadness. Although she had experienced many hardships, she was always surrounded by love and could not fully understand Jiang Heng's feelings.
However, she understood that Jiang Heng must be in pain inside.
After all, which child doesn't long for the love of his parents?
Not only does he not get the love of his father, he also lacks the care of his mother, which is really pitiful.
Jiang Heng looked up at Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan and asked, "Aunt, cousin, will you always like me?"
Jiang Xue nodded and assured: "Of course, we will always love you and care for you, watch you grow up, do what you want to do, and live a peaceful and happy life."
In the past, she hoped that he would become a wise ruler and shoulder the responsibilities of the dynasty, but now she hopes that he can be happy and grow up to be a good emperor in joy.
Xiao Zhan also said: "Heng'er, to be honest, you are like a child of Xiaoxue and me. We love you so much, not only because you are a prince, but also because we really like you."
Hearing this, Jiang Heng showed an innocent smile that belonged to a child: "Then I will be your child, accept your love now, and protect you in the future."
"OK."
Jiang Xue smiled: "Although you are still young now, you will become strong one day, and then it will be your turn to protect your aunt and uncle. We have a deal."
After saying that, she extended her hand to Jiang Heng: "Let's make a pinky promise."
Jiang Heng held her hand and said, "Let's make a promise and never change it for a hundred years."
Jiang Xue patted his head and said, "It's getting late. We should go out to see the lanterns."
"aunt!"
"What's wrong?"
"Can you tell me something about my father on the way?"
Jiang Xue was a little confused: "Why?" Since he knew that his father didn't like him, he should not want to know these things.
"Aunt must love my father very much, so I hope to respect him as much as you do, even if he doesn't love me."
Jiang Heng explained: "He is a good emperor, and I also want to learn how to be a good emperor like him, right?"
Jiang Xue nodded in agreement: "Okay!"
She felt extremely relieved. Although Feng Ziqing had been with the child for four years, he had no resentment in his heart. This was all thanks to Xiao Zhan's careful teaching over the years.
She couldn't help but look at Xiao Zhan tenderly. Seeing this, he couldn't help but ask: "Xiaoxue, why are you looking at me like this?"
"Yun Che, you are really good."
She felt that the greatest luck in her life was to meet such a good husband.
Jiang Heng nodded and praised: "My cousin and aunt are both very good people, that's why they can be together."
However, Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan smiled at each other, because they knew very well that the reason they could be together was not just because they were both good people.
Instead, they have liked each other since childhood, understood each other's strengths and weaknesses, and overcome many difficulties together, which is why they are able to stay together.
The road to becoming husband and wife is full of difficulties, but it is precisely these difficulties that make them cherish each other more.
"Heng'er!"
"Aunt, what's the matter?"
"Promise me that when you meet a girl you like, don't give up easily even if the road ahead is full of thorns."
Although Jiang Heng didn't understand what love was, out of trust in his aunt, he agreed without hesitation.
This year, because Jiang Xue was pregnant and had difficulty moving, Xiao Zhan arranged a team of guards with high martial arts skills to protect them, and also a group of secret guards to guard them secretly.
The city was brightly lit at night. Jiang Xue held Jiang Heng's hand and strolled along the street with a happy smile on her face.
Xiao Zhan handed Jiang Heng a string of candied haws. He liked the sweet and sour taste very much. He promised to buy a string for his sister Zhige in the future.
After learning that Zhige was a girl, Jiang Heng excitedly said that he would make her a princess after she was born and let her enjoy the best of everything.
However, Xiao Zhan reminded that doing so might cause misunderstandings from the outside world, and suggested waiting until Jiang Heng took power before considering the matter. Jiang Heng agreed with his point of view.
At the same time, Lan Feng rarely stayed in the capital, so he decided to take Jiang Xiaowei to see the lanterns.
Although the weather was still cold, he dressed her carefully and then went out hand in hand.
In the bustling crowd, Lan Feng always carefully protected Jiang Xiaowei, making her heart full of warmth.
As she walked, Jiang Xiaowei discovered a stall selling small orange lanterns. These unique little lanterns left a deep impression on her.
Seeing that she was interested in the small orange lantern, Lan Feng took her hand and walked towards the stall, intending to buy one for her.
