Epilogue: Night Talk between the Three Emperors and Empresses
At night, Jiang Yingli leaned in Xiao Chenlan's arms and talked about the past.
"Although Zhao'er is my biological brother, I didn't witness the two years when he changed the most."
"He's just a little taller and darker. It doesn't matter whether you see him or not. He's grown up well. After all, when I sent him to the southwest, I wasn't sure he would come back alive."
Speaking of this, Jiang Yingli felt that His Majesty's idea was really far-sighted.
She originally thought of letting Jiang Zhao stay in Youzhou for a year or two and then bringing him back to the capital, but doing so would keep him in prison from beginning to end. Even if His Majesty promoted him and gave him a higher rank, it would only make her brother a target of public criticism and bury his talent.
He sent his younger brother to the military camp for training, and he himself made meritorious service, and was officially awarded the title of marquis and general, becoming a general who could conquer all directions. It was a complete benefit.
Jiang Yingli kissed Xiao Chenglan and praised him, "Your Majesty is truly amazing."
"You are also very powerful, the famous Queen Jiang." Xiao Chenglan said with a smile.
"But to be more specific, Your Majesty and I have witnessed each other grow up together. I remember the first time I entered Prince Su's mansion to plant flowers, I was thirteen and Your Majesty was seventeen, and we were nowhere near as tall as we are now."
Xiao Chenglan played with Jiang Yingli's hair with his knuckles, kissed her cheek, and told her about the past, saying that he was very enjoyable and comfortable, and chatted with her lazily.
"Then when did you notice that I had grown taller?"
"Of course it was that time. I was running so fast that I accidentally fell and found my clothes soaked. I rolled on the ground like a broken pot before sitting up. I found Your Majesty standing in front of me with an umbrella. At that time, I looked at Your Majesty. His eyebrows were cold and his whole body was tall and distant. I was shocked to realize that Your Majesty was much taller than when I first saw him."
"It's a reunion." Xiao Chenglan corrected.
"I was surprised to find that Your Majesty is much taller than before." Jiang Yingli also corrected.
Xiao Chenglan looked into her eyes and listened to her speak, the smile in his eyes becoming more and more joyful.
He raised an eyebrow and repeated the four words: "Out of reach?"
He really liked Jiang Yingli's casual words that could reveal her girlish thoughts.
Out of reach? Since you feel it is out of reach, then you have thought about reaching him.
Whenever I think of this kind of thing, I feel joy seeping into my bones.
Xiao Chenglan's eyes grew dimmer, and he stared intently at Jiang Yingli's mouth opening and closing.
Jiang Yingli didn't realize there was something else behind Xiao Chenglan's words. She continued to think about that day and suddenly felt shy: "But, that day, His Majesty actually reached out to me..."
Although she and His Majesty are now an old married couple, Jiang Yingli's heart still pounded when she thought of that time.
After all, that was the first time she was so close to His Majesty and the first time she touched His Majesty.
She still remembers the touch, slightly cool, a bit like the jade hanging around his waist.
Even though she didn't have the chance to touch the jade, she felt the same.
Jiang Yingli clasped Xiao Chenglan's hand tightly, "But, Your Majesty's hand is not cold anymore, it's even a little hot."
Jiang Yingli was speaking when she suddenly realized something was wrong. "Your Majesty, why is your temperature so high? Could it be that there's some residual poison left?"
Xiao Chenglan stared at Jiang Yingli's face, slowly raised one leg, clasped her waist tightly, and let his warm breath fall into her ear.
"What do you think?"
Jiang Yingli understood instantly, her face flushed, and she threw herself into his arms.
"Your Majesty, you have been too unrestrained these past two days. Today, I will only allow you to do this three times."
"Let's talk about it later."
Xiao Chenglan kissed the lips he had been staring at for a long time.
