Song Yanmu jumped up excitedly. She finally won this contest of seniority!
"Wuwuwu, mother, I want a sister, I want a sister!"
Song Yanchao ran towards Jiang Jingyu with snot bubbles on his face.
Jiang Jingyu put down the rolling pin, smeared some flour on her apron, and picked up the crying Song Yanchao.
"Chao'er, what's wrong with being a younger brother? Isn't it good to have four older brothers and sisters who love you?" Jiang Jingyu wiped Song Yanchao's nose and coaxed him softly.
Song Yanzhao shook his head: "Wuwuwu, sister, I want my sister!"
No matter how Jiang Jingyu coaxed him, Song Yanchao kept crying for his sister. Helplessly, Jiang Jingyu had to stuff Song Yanchao into Song Wenjing's arms.
The crying stopped abruptly.
Song Yanchao sobbed and looked at Song Wenjing: "Father, I want a sister."
Song Wenjing wiped his tears: "Yes, father knows."
…
That night, Kunning Palace was brightly lit.
“Dumplings are coming!”
The table was filled with delicious dishes, but Song Ceyan and the other little ones didn't pick up their chopsticks. They just waited for the dumplings to be served.
"Big money dumplings, woooo! Big money dumplings, here I come!"
Song Yanchao quickly grabbed dumplings and ate them, scrambling for the big money dumplings.
"It's a big-money dumpling! I, I, I ate it!"
Song Shuyue was the first to eat the big-coin dumpling, and then Song Ceyan also spat out a silver coin.
“I ate it too!”
"Me too!"
A few little guys chattered and showed the copper coins in their palms.
Jiang Jingyu knew that the children loved to fight over the big-money dumplings, so she simply put one on each of their plates, even Song Wenjing and the Queen Mother had one on their plates.
The children who ate the big-money dumplings were very satisfied, and their laughter filled the entire Kunning Palace.
After the reunion dinner, several children surrounded the empress dowager and pulled her out of the palace. At this time, the people in the city had already started setting off fireworks and sky lanterns.
"Wow, what a huge firework!"
"Grandmother, look! That Kongming lantern is flying so high!"
Several children looked up at the fireworks and sky lanterns above their heads and screamed excitedly.
The Queen Mother smiled and patted Song Yanqing's head: "Yes, Qing'er, do you want to fly a Kongming lantern?"
Song Yanqing's eyes lit up: "Grandmother, can Qing'er be released too?"
"certainly."
After the Queen Mother agreed, she waved to the palace maids beside her, and the palace maids hurried over with the prepared Kongming lanterns.
"Wow! What a huge Kongming lantern!"
Several children gathered together excitedly, looking at the Kongming lanterns in front of them and eager to try.
The palace maids lit the candles and handed one to each of the children.
The firelight made their little faces look rosy, very cute.
"Grandmother, we need to light the Kongming lanterns!"
Several children looked up at the Queen Mother, who nodded, with every wrinkle on her face radiating joy and happiness.
Several children acted in unison, held the candles under the Kongming lantern, and lit it together.
The palace servants helped lift the Kongming lantern, allowing it to slowly rise into the sky.
Song Wenjing held Jiang Jingyu's waist and stood in front of the hall, his eyes falling on the grandparents and grandchildren in the courtyard.
Song Wenjing turned his head to look at Jiang Jingyu: "Ayu, do you want to see it more clearly?"
Jiang Jingyu was stunned: "What?"
Before she could react, Song Wenjing grabbed her waist and flew over the eaves, instantly closing the distance between them and the Kongming lantern.
“It’s really beautiful.”
Jiang Jingyu looked up at the sky full of Kongming lanterns and sighed sincerely.
She was looking at the light, and he was looking at her.
Song Wenjing put his arm around Jiang Jingyu's shoulders and sat on the ground. Jiang Jingyu leaned her head on Song Wenjing's shoulder.
The voices of the Queen Mother and the children came from below.
"My dear grandchildren, make a wish."
"I want a sister!"
"I want to grow up quickly!"
"I hope I can fly Kongming lanterns with my father, mother, and grandmother every year!"
…
There are thousands of lights in front of me and my loved ones around me.
Jiang Jingyu leaned on Song Wenjing's shoulder, her eyebrows curved and her face filled with happiness.
She looked up at the man beside her: "Your Majesty, do you have anything you want to say to me in the new year?"
Song Wenjing lowered his eyes and looked at her, with affection in his eyes.
"In my life, I have traveled through mountains and rivers, and witnessed the rebirth of all things, over and over again. Now the mountains are you, and the rivers are also you."
Song Wenjing finished speaking seriously and asked her, "Ayu, do you have anything to say to me?"
Jiang Jingyu raised her hand to cover the man's face, outlining his eyebrows with her fingertips.
"When I take your sleeve and hold your hand, I give you my whole life, to be with you in life and death, in life or death."
A smile appeared in Song Wenjing's eyes. He lowered his head and kissed her red lips. He didn't let her go until the woman in his arms was breathing rapidly and her face was flushed.
Song Wenjing held the back of Jiang Jingyu's head with one hand and put his forehead against hers.
"Ayu, in this world of three thousand, I love three things: the sun, the moon, and you. The sun is for the morning, the moon is for the evening, and you are for me morning and evening."
