Chapter 1033 Lotus Lantern.
Seeing the two being so affectionate as if no one was around, the people around them felt secretly happy, especially when they saw Huangfu Shang with a livid face standing aside, the feeling became even stronger.
They hoped that this couple would continue to be sweet together so as to make Huangfu Shang even angrier.
Huangfu Shang tried hard to calm himself down, but the anger in his heart was hard to calm down, and he unconsciously looked at Jiang Yuyin beside him.
"Sister, are you going to release lotus lanterns?"
Jiang Yuyin asked, "Can I go with you? I didn't have the chance to light lanterns during the Lantern Festival last year, and maybe I won't have such a chance again in the future."
"sure!"
"emperor."
Jiang Xue said to Jiang Heng, "It's rare for the three of us to get together, do you want to go and release the lotus lanterns together?"
Jiang Heng nodded in agreement and gave Jiang Xue and Jiang Yuyin a lotus lantern each.
The three of them came to the river, gently placed the lotus lanterns into the water, and watched them slowly drift away with the current, the lights flickering.
Jiang Yuyin clasped her hands together and made a wish solemnly.
After a long while, she opened her eyes, turned to Jiang Xue and said with a smile: "I put all my hopes on this little lamp. I'm sorry to make you laugh."
"Even Buddha wants to save all living beings, let alone us mortals? It is always good to have wishes. If a person has no desires in his heart, he is just a walking corpse."
Jiang Xue said: "But Yuyin, I am not accompanying you to light lanterns tonight to discuss wishes.
I know Huangfu Shang will take you and Wuyou back to Tianshui Kingdom soon. If you change your mind now, I still have time to help you stay here and ensure the safety of you and your child.
But once you leave the country, I will not be able to protect you."
Jiang Yuyin shook her head: "I have decided that I will be wherever the person I love is."
"Even if it means sacrificing your child's life?"
Jiang Yuyin smiled bitterly: “Aunt, as long as Gan Kingdom is still there, even if Wuyou and I follow Huangfu Shang back to Tianshui Kingdom, our lives will not be in danger, and Wuyou’s father can survive.
If we don’t go back with him, Wuyou’s father will surely die.”
"But sooner or later there will be a war between Tianshui and Gan. By then you..."
“Who knows when this war will happen?”
Jiang Yuyin said: "It may be five, eight, or even more than ten years later. Before that, at least Wuyou's father can live longer."
Jiang Xue stared at her quietly, her tone calm but firm: "Huangfu Shang used the person you love to control you, and his ultimate goal is to use you to deal with me.
He has been observing my attitude towards you and found that I still have sisterly feelings for you, so he plans to use you as a bargaining chip when the relationship between the two countries breaks down.
However, Yuyin, although I do regard you as my sister, and my father has asked me to protect you, I cannot guarantee your safety in the face of national interests. "
"I understand." Jiang Xue could even let go of Xiao Zhan, not to mention her sister who she was not close to.
"I think this is not only something you understand, Huangfu Shang also knows this, so he intends to use you to make a deal with me, but this is not his ultimate goal, do you understand?"
Jiang Yuyin nodded to show that she understood, knowing that Huangfu Shang's true intentions might be far more sinister than she imagined.
Jiang Xue sighed softly, not sure if she really understood it all.
At this time, Jiang Yuyin solemnly promised her aunt: "No matter what my fate will be in the future, this is my own choice. I promise that as a princess, I will never harm the interests of the country."
Her voice was firm and her eyes were bright. Jiang Xue saw that she was determined and said no more.
Although you can try to keep her, it requires her cooperation.
Since she won't cooperate, there is no other way. The future is full of uncertainty, and I can only wish her good luck.
Then, Jiang Yuyin turned to Jiang Heng and asked, "Your Majesty, please treat my aunt well in the future."
Although Jiang Heng was not clear about the grudge between the two, he had heard that they had always been at odds, so he was cold towards Jiang Yuyin: "I will protect my aunt, I don't need you to remind me."
Seeing Jiang Heng's reaction, Jiang Yuyin smiled, and felt his respect for Jiang Xue from his tone.
She realized that it was her fault in the past and she shouldn't have been an enemy of such an outstanding sister.
After Huangfu Shang took Jiang Yuyin away, everyone felt relieved.
Lan Feng accompanied Jiang Xiaowei to the river to release lotus lanterns. He couldn't help but smile as he watched his wife make a sincere wish.
Jiang Xiaoan also came to join in the fun with great interest, but accidentally almost fell into the river. Fortunately, Fudong came to his rescue in time.
Fu Dong couldn't help but tease: "You are already in your twenties, why are you still so reckless, like a child, lighting a lantern and throwing yourself into the river?"
“But I didn’t fall in.”
"If I hadn't acted quickly, you would have fallen. Even a seven or eight-year-old child wouldn't do that."
"Can they be as good as me in medical skills?"
Fu Dong snorted, thinking that such a conversation was meaningless, and simply ignored him.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Xiaoan handed her the lotus lantern in his hand: "Commander Fudong, you should light one too."
"Need not."
Fu Dong waved his hand: "Rather than hoping that this lotus lantern can fulfill my wish, I prefer to believe in my own strength."
"I also think that such a small lamp can't help us fulfill our wishes, but you see."
Jiang Xiaoan pointed to the river surface and said, "So many lotus lanterns are twinkling on the water, just like the stars in the night sky. What a beautiful sight. Lighting a lantern will also add color to this beautiful scene. Isn't it great?"
For some reason, Fudong followed Jiang Xiaoan's words and also put down a lamp.
Watching the light gradually fade away with the water, her heart was filled with relaxation and joy.
When she turned around to speak, she found that his face was filled with a bright smile, and his already charming eyes were even more radiant, even reflecting her figure.
At this moment, her heart seemed to be gently touched. He was always so handsome, but at this moment he was particularly dazzling...
"Commander Fudong, why are you staring at me like that?"
Jiang Xiaoan waved his hand in front of her: "I'm a little nervous."
Fu Dong suddenly laughed: "Jiang Xiaoan, I want to put another lamp."
Jiang Xiaoan breathed a sigh of relief: "Of course. As long as it makes you happy, you can put in as much as you want."
If she is happy, she won't cause trouble for me.
Jiang Xue leaned on the railing, looking at Lan Feng and Jiang Xiaowei who were embracing each other affectionately, and Fu Dong and Jiang Xiaoan who were chatting and laughing. She turned around and saw Xiao Zhan and Jiang Heng who were smiling, and her heart was filled with relief.
The most important people in my life are all around me, and they all seem happy. This feeling of peace is better than ever.
How wonderful it would be if time could be frozen at this moment forever, allowing all the beautiful things to remain unchanged forever.
However, time is merciless and will not stop moving forward. The tragedy that was destined to happen will eventually come.
