"There are too many people at the Lantern Festival, and you are pregnant. I am afraid it will be dangerous."
The emperor couldn't bear to refuse her, so he had to express his concerns.
He could arrange enough guards and secret guards, but he was still afraid of any accidents.
At this moment, the most important things in his heart are Xu Lingyi and the child.
He couldn't imagine what would happen to him if anything happened to them.
Just when the emperor gritted his teeth and was about to reject Xu Lingyi, she took his hand and looked at him with shining eyes.
"Your Majesty, is it really not possible? I haven't been out for a long time. I heard that many lovers would go to the Lantern Festival and release lanterns by the river. In the past, when I was in the palace, because of the Concubine Dowager... I have never been there."
There was also a hint of pleading in her voice.
Facing Xu Lingyi's expectant eyes, the emperor finally nodded, unable to bear the words of refusal: "Okay."
He is the emperor, so he should protect his women and children.
After the emperor agreed to Xu Lingyi, he immediately went to the front hall.
"Liu Dehai!"
Liu Dehai groaned inwardly. He had just heard that his two masters were going to the Lantern Festival.
This wasn't a big deal...but the lady inside was pregnant with three heirs.
Now it is a gold nugget to the entire palace, or to the entire court, and no mistakes can be made.
"Yiyi, I thought he wouldn't agree so easily." The system was a little surprised.
Xu Lingyi shook her head. She knew he wouldn't refuse in the end.
Li Xuan liked her, so naturally he would fulfill her every request.
"Tongzi, I'll leave Li Jinan to you."
"good."
The system nodded: "Yiyi, I will definitely get it done."
As for the side quest, they should be able to complete it and get points the moment Li Jinan sees her.
The main task is to wait for Xu Lingyi to give birth to the child.
"We are almost completing this mission world." The system was a little excited.
…
Kyoto's lantern festivals are always held in the most prosperous areas.
On the surface, this year's Lantern Festival looked the same as in previous years, with nothing unusual about it, and it was even more lively.
But there were many of the emperor's men hiding in secret, and these secret guards were hiding in every corner.
Xu Lingyi wore a veil hat, and the emperor held her hand tightly, with many guards following behind them.
Even so, the emperor's heart was still tense, his eyes fixed on Xu Lingyi, and he looked around from time to time.
Xu Lingyi lowered her eyes and said, "I was willful and made you so nervous now."
The emperor held her hand in his. "I'm not being willful. I'm your husband. If it makes you happy, I'm willing to do anything."
Perhaps worried that Xu Lingyi wouldn't enjoy it either, the emperor forced a smile and pretended to be relaxed:
"The Lantern Festival is indeed lively, Yi'er, buy whatever you like."
"good."
"Yiyi, I want to buy that..."
“And that… yes, I like that lamp too!!!”
"That one is so round and cute too, I want it!!"
The system was dazzled and kept spinning in Xu Lingyi's mind, and the sound kept ringing.
"Okay." Xu Lingyi was helpless.
She bought a lot of things, most of which the system liked.
"Anything else?" Xu Lingyi asked lovingly.
"Thank you, Yiyi." The system was happy. "I really want to buy it. Can I buy everything from the entire Lantern Festival?"
Xu Lingyi: “…”
"Can't."
"I didn't expect Yi'er would like such childlike things." The emperor raised the corners of his mouth.
"Is this for our child?"
But many of these are not suitable for children.
Xu Lingyi smiled but said nothing, "I like it."
The emperor couldn't help but chuckle, "So Yi'er likes these. I'll prepare more for you in the future."
"Husband, let's go to the river to release lanterns." Xu Lingyi changed the subject.
"good."
When they arrived, there were already many people by the river, many young women and many couples.
"What are they asking for?" The emperor knew nothing about the Lantern Festival.
"Master, the young couple may be praying for children and the well-being of their family, and the woman may be praying for a marriage." Liu Dehai spoke quickly.
"System, where is Li Jinan?"
"We'll be there soon."
Li Jinan traveled all night, heading towards the capital, and entered the city at the last second before the city gate closed.
When they arrived in Kyoto on horseback, they found the streets deserted.
"What are you doing?"
Seeing so many people blocking the way, Li Jinan couldn't help but frown and his face darkened.
"Master, this should be a lantern festival."
Li Jinan had no choice but to dismount. Now that so many people were blocking the road, it was obvious that he could not ride the horse anymore.
"She once wanted me to accompany her to the Lantern Festival..."
Li Jinan was walking on the street, looking at the young couples passing by, and thought of Xu Lingyi again.
They had known each other for many years, but he had never accompanied her to a lantern festival.
Before she married him, the Xu family felt that she was marrying up the social ladder and rarely allowed her to go out. Most of the time, she was locked up at home to learn the rules.
After marrying him, her mother was looking forward to having a child day and night, so she had to serve her mother and rarely had any free time.
In the second year after their marriage, he had promised to take her out, but she gave up on her own initiative because her mother made things difficult for her.
He led the horse forward, but his eyes became more and more red. The past was vivid in his mind, but the person was gone.
As Li Jinan walked towards the bridge, he heard these words.
"I need to put that light on again."
The voice was not obvious amid the noisy voices on both sides of the strait, but the tone sounded somewhat familiar, and was 70% like Xu Lingyi's voice.
