Yan Heng: "..."
He thought Jiang Tian cared about him, but it turned out she was just trying to gauge his mood before making any requests.
He couldn't get angry; he just pondered for a moment.
He approved the organization of the lantern festival.
Compared to the internal and external troubles during the reign of the late emperor, the people's lives have been better in the past two years. If they want to have some fun, Yan Heng will not allow it.
Faced with Jiang Tian's expectant gaze, he couldn't bring himself to refuse.
Jiang Tian has been cooped up in the palace these days, with no one to talk to except him and his daughter. He must be getting quite bored.
"I can agree to your request, but once you leave the palace, you must stay by my side at all times. If you get lost, I will not take you back."
Jiang Tian was very happy: "You know better than I do that I can't live without you."
Yan Heng was pleased.
A smile played on his lips; he thought what she said made perfect sense.
Yes, she can't live without him. Going out to see a lantern festival is a small matter, and he has no reason to disagree.
And so it was settled.
Yan Heng thought it was a trivial matter and there was no need to worry about it.
Jiang Tian, however, was very enthusiastic about preparing for the lantern festival.
"Should I dress as a woman or a man then?"
"How should I address you, sir? young master? young sir?"
Every time Yan Heng returned, Jiang Tian would grab him and ask him questions.
The same applies today.
Yan Heng listened to her talking to herself without any change in expression.
Jiang Tian muttered to herself, while Yan Heng read his book. Neither of them was bothering the other, and Yan Heng had long since adapted to this peaceful situation.
However, upon hearing Jiang Tian's question, Yan Heng still raised his head, which was a rare occurrence.
He reached out and pulled Jiang Tian into his arms, making her sit in his lap.
Jiang Tian was startled: "What are you doing?"
Yan Heng pondered silently for a moment, then spoke up: "Say it again."
Jiang Tian looked puzzled: "What's your name?"
Yan Heng thought for a while longer: "Call me 'husband' and 'young master' at the same time, no, let's just call me 'husband' directly."
Jiang Tian looked at him and remained silent for a moment, as if trying to guess what was wrong with him.
Yan Heng gripped her waist tightly: "Call her quickly."
"...Husband?"
Yan Heng smiled and said, "Say it again."
Jiang Tian couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, but still went along with him: "Husband."
Yan Heng picked her up in one go, skipped dinner, and went straight to the inner room.
The bed curtains were lifted, and he put Jiang Tian down and began to undress.
"I'll pamper you today, my lord..."
………………
The two fooled around for a while, and it was two hours later when they finally got up.
If Jiang Tian hadn't been hungry and needed to take her medicine, Yan Heng might not have been able to stop.
Yan Heng ordered an extra pear soup for Jiang Tian to soothe her throat.
Her voice became incredibly hoarse from calling him "husband" so many times...
After this little romantic encounter, Jiang Tian settled on how to address Yan Heng at the lantern festival.
Yan Heng hadn't paid much attention to the lantern festival before, but now he found himself becoming more interested.
According to Yan Heng's plan, the two of them would play the roles of a newlywed couple who had just arrived in the capital. Jiang Tian would be his wife, and he would be her husband.
What else could Jiang Tian say but go along with him?
When that day came, there was no wind or rain, and the night was beautiful.
Jiang Tian and Yan Heng changed into the clothes of an ordinary married couple and went to the lantern festival under the protection of a group of guards.
"I...I told you, don't let go of my hand."
As soon as Jiang Tian got off the carriage, she was in high spirits. Yan Heng's brow twitched, and he quickly reminded her.
Jiang Tian gave him a flattering smile: "Yes, husband, I won't forget. Let's go quickly, this is my first time at the lantern festival."
The old emperor was extravagant and dissolute. Before he became senile, he frequently held events in the capital, including several lantern festivals a year, but she never attended one of them.
Yan Heng couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
"Let's go then."
Yan Heng held her hand, and the two strolled along the street.
The lantern festival was a grand affair, with dazzling lights and vibrant colors everywhere, creating a lively and festive atmosphere.
Yan Heng let Jiang Tian hold his hand as they strolled along. Seeing the smiling faces of the people, the emperor felt a sense of relaxation.
Just then, a voice rang out behind them.
"Madam, please wait."
