Li Qiuyin nodded: "Yes, I wanted Ayan to be the first person to try my pastries, so..."
Jiang Shuyan sighed: "The pastries here are not suitable for you. You shouldn't make them anymore."
Hearing him say that, Li Qiuyin seemed even more saddened. She picked up a pastry, took a bite, and immediately spat it out.
She thought her cooking was alright, so she didn't try it first, but she didn't expect it to taste so bad.
Just as she was about to say something, Jiang Shuyan said wearily, "I have some things to take care of first. You don't need to wait for me to have a meal."
After saying that, he walked straight towards the study.
…
As Jiang Shuyan sat in the chair in the study, she leaned back and closed her eyes. Suddenly, the image of Wan Ge, whose pastries were exquisitely made and delicious, came to mind.
He had never felt this way before. Deep down, he believed that Wan Ge could never truly forget him, much less accept the Regent. He thought Wan Ge couldn't let go of their relationship. But now reality had dealt him a heavy blow.
He didn't understand what this feeling was like. He had initially wanted to get to know her with a purpose, but now that he truly realized he would lose her, he felt extremely sad.
Jiang Shuyan didn't know how to describe the feeling; she just felt extremely uncomfortable.
He tried to clear his mind, but when he opened his eyes, he saw the inkstone on the table.
Besides the inkstone, the study also contained many other things that Wan Ge had given him.
His real secret wasn't hidden in his study, so his study was open to her, and therefore there was nothing else in it.
But seeing the study filled with all the gifts she had given him made him feel even more suffocated.
He recalled how, before he went to war, she handed him a safety charm, her face full of gentle smiles, and said that she would marry him when he returned.
He had long since thrown away the amulet, and the promise to marry him seemed to have vanished into thin air.
…
…
Nan Jinchu woke up from a nightmare once again and looked to her side to see Wan Ge looking worried.
When Wan Ge picked up a handkerchief from the side to wipe the other person's sweat, Nan Jin Chu immediately stood up and avoided her touch: "You should rest well."
After saying that, he put on his coat and left the room.
Just as they stepped out of the courtyard, they encountered the eldest princess, who was carrying a jar of wine.
"Mother, what's this?" It's already past midnight, and at this hour, instead of sleeping, Mother has brought a jar of wine.
The eldest princess sighed and replied, "This afternoon your father received a letter from your Uncle Jing, saying that Uncle Jing has been laid to rest and they have fulfilled his last wish to bury him on the frontier."
Uncle Jing and Uncle Jing were also generals for generations. They followed Prince An and did many things. Prince An treated them like brothers. Later, they quelled many wars. After Prince An returned to the capital, they stopped guarding the frontier.
General Jing, the elder brother, was seriously injured while protecting Prince An when he was serving by his side. He was seriously injured again while guarding the frontier, and his health deteriorated. Prince An wanted him to come back to recuperate, but he was reluctant to leave the frontier, so he never returned.
He wrote half a month ago that his health was very bad, and today he wrote again to say that he had passed away. Prince An did not sleep all night, so the Princess decided to warm a jar of wine for him so that he could drink some and sleep for a while.
The memorial requesting permission to leave the capital has been submitted, and news should arrive tomorrow. Prince An still wishes to see his old comrade-in-arms off.
Although Nan Jinchu had always known about these two people, he had only seen a handful of speed tests on the interface. He must have been on the battlefield, but because the Northwest was well protected, he had basically never been there.
So we only met a few times when they came back to report on their work.
…
"So that's how it is."
At this moment, the eldest princess had someone bring up a wine cup, poured a cup of warm wine, and handed it to Nan Jinchu: "Would you like to have a couple of sips too?"
She could tell that her son was also in a bad mood today; to be precise, his mood had been complicated ever since he got married.
Sometimes he seems very happy, but other times he seems very unhappy.
I don't know where these complicated emotions come from, or if it's because of Wan Ge's past.
She felt that Wan Ge should be quite open-minded, so she wouldn't be uncooperative with her son, right?
Or is it that her son still feels she has feelings for someone else, and it's just that he can't get over it? Probably not.
The princess did not believe that he was unaware of Wan Ge's past experiences. If he already knew, yet still proposed to marry her, then he must not have minded. If he did not mind, then why did he have such complicated emotions?
Nan Jinchu accepted the wine her mother offered, but she didn't drink it; she just held it in her hand.
The eldest princess looked at him and advised, "Although I don't know what's troubling you, nothing is insurmountable. If you have emotional troubles and don't know how to resolve them, perhaps you can talk to me. As someone who has been through it all, I might have some insights that can help you avoid some detours."
"If you couldn't be with your father back then because of certain events, would you forget him?"
"Of course not." The princess blurted out, then quickly realized her mistake and tried to back it up: "Ahem, what I mean is that we were in love after all, it's impossible to forget him. You wouldn't believe me if I said I would forget him."
But whether I'll be able to let go of my feelings is hard to say. If I can't be with your father, but I meet someone very good and suitable, maybe I'll let go of my feelings for him.
