Congratulations to His Highness
"Your Highness Jing Yuan?"
Amid the sounds of music and laughter, Jiang Jingqian, who was beside Jiang Jingyuan, looked at her with concern and asked cautiously in a low voice.
Jiang Jingyuan didn't rush to respond. He just glanced calmly at the expressions on the faces of everyone in the hall. After a pause, he also responded softly, "I'm fine."
Are you really okay?
But since Jiang Jingyuan said this, Jiang Jingqian had no choice but to look at her with a hint of worry.
But just now, he clearly felt that the girl next to him suddenly tensed up all over, and her heart was in turmoil, as if an indescribable complex, strange and strong emotion spread outward unconsciously.
He raised his eyes and glanced at the scene in the hall in front of him, especially searching for a moment at the place where Jiang Jingyuan's gaze had just stopped, but he found nothing.
Jiang Jingqian withdrew his gaze and lowered his head slightly out of habit.
Did His Highness Jing Yuan see something just now... He lowered his eyes thoughtfully, his gaze falling on the exquisite small wooden table in front of him.
How strange! No one else in the palace noticed anything unusual. What on earth had happened?
Jiang Jingyuan, who was standing aside, had a calm expression, collected all his thoughts, and quietly looked at the figures dancing in the center of the palace in front of him, as if there was someone else who was uneasy just now.
In the magnificent palace, a sweet and peaceful atmosphere permeates the air.
…………
Spring goes and autumn comes, year after year.
Three years later.
The funeral bells rang in the northwest, white banners fluttered, and the cool wind carried the sorrowful cries all the way from Chen Kingdom to Yuan Kingdom. At the same time, they also brought the envoys of Chen Kingdom and... the request to exchange the hostages of the two countries.
In the quaint study, a fifteen-year-old girl raised her right index finger and bent it casually, and a round bird with a white belly and black back, the size of a palm, jumped on it.
A flowing and graceful goose yellow dress swayed gently, and the layers of goose yellow and beige hems surged like waves at her feet, and the tender green tassels and golden beads swayed slightly as she walked.
The girl lowered her head slightly to look at the letter paper held up by the little round bird in front of her, while walking slowly, turning around and leaning lightly against the elegant desk.
The Chen Kingdom was in mourning, and the envoys of the Chen Kingdom requested to exchange the hostages of the two countries, but the old emperor of the Yuan Kingdom did not respond for a long time.
He did not agree nor did he start a war, but just settled the envoys of Chen Kingdom without making any clear statement... Jiang Jingyuan looked at the contents written in a flamboyant style on the letter paper, his face calm, but there was a hint of confusion in his heart.
Could it be that he doesn't want to exchange the protons back? The old emperor is crazy... is... is this what he means by "seeking the way"?
Why?
There had been no signs of anything happening in the past three years, and Jiang Jingyuan didn't understand what those people were trying to do now.
She only knew that the longer this matter dragged on, the more dangerous Jiang Jingjian's situation would become.
Two protons in a foreign country, if someone hopes they live, there must be someone who hopes they die. If someone hopes they die, there must be someone who hopes they live.
As long as they fight, Jiang Jingjian and Xiao Zhi will be the eternal battlefield between them.
What Jiang Jingyuan understood, others must have understood as well. That was why she was so confused.
Could it be that someone from Yuan Country had already secretly escorted Jiang Jingjian back to the country, and those people wanted to take this opportunity to severely damage Chen Country, which is why they kept delaying?
Perhaps because she was too concerned, Jiang Jingyuan was unusually willful and didn't want to care about any reasons. No matter what the reason was, it was too dangerous and she didn't want Jiang Jingjian to take any risks.
She is unhappy.
Her eyes fell on the letter, but her thoughts were wandering in the sky. Just as waves of emotion were surging in her heart uncontrollably, there was a crisp "ding" sound. The small round bird in her hand stretched out its wings and shook the letter, and the content on the yellowed and ancient letter suddenly changed.
Jiang Jingyuan came back to his senses and focused on reading the contents of the letter again.
"Your Highness, please rest assured. Although His Majesty has not yet expressed anything, when the Chen Kingdom's envoys left Chen Kingdom, someone from the Rong family had already gone to Chen Kingdom to secretly escort His Highness Prince Yan." The message from Rong Yejin read, "With your Highness and the Rong family here, Prince Yan will return safely to Yuan Kingdom. It will be quick. Your Highness, rest assured."
Two "peace of mind"... Jiang Jingyuan looked at it, her heart relieved, and she couldn't help but smile. She didn't know how and couldn't do anything, so what was the Rong family worried about?
There's no need to coax or analyze her like this. It's not like she doesn't understand...
Jiang Jingyuan's mind moved, and he returned the letter: "Okay, thank you, Lord Rong. I will wait for good news in the mansion."
Since Rong Yejin said that Jiang Jingjian would be back soon, she would just wait in the mansion, so that the Rong family wouldn't be worried and distracted and make mistakes.
As she thought about this, in the study filled with sandalwood incense, the fifteen-year-old girl put away the message card in her hand. She narrowed her dark eyes, smiled in a good mood, and walked out of the study.
A silver sachet swayed around her waist. Xu Qinglin, in a killing state, watched the scene outside silently.
Did Jiang Jingyuan eat something strange without her knowledge? Why has it become increasingly strange over the past three years... This shouldn't be the case. She's been following her almost all the time...
Xu Qinglin sighed inwardly. She had said in the past when she was still an inhuman person that everyone in the Jiang family was quite crazy, especially Jiang Jingyuan, who had the blood of the Rong family, which was a behemoth in Yuan Country and even in the world.
The madness of the Jiang family of the Yuan Kingdom royal family is desperate and unpredictable, while Jiang Jingyuan calmly reveals a creepy madness in some imperceptible details. He is neither crazy nor crazy, and he is crazy but unaware of it.
"He's really getting sicker and sicker as he grows older..." Xu Qinglin paused, carefully recalling the royal families of other countries, and then thought with certainty, "Sure enough, a bloodline that can stand tall in chaos for thousands of years will not produce any normal people."
She knew that Jiang Jingyuan must have complained about her creation of the winged man in her heart a lot in the past. She really wanted to pull Jiang Jingyuan from that time over to see what she was like now.
"Xu Qinglin..."
In the fiery murderous scene, Xu Qinglin, who was sitting in front of the dressing table, raised his hand that was applying lip balm and suddenly stopped.
Then, she heard Jiang Jingyuan suddenly say from the outside world: "I heard that after a long separation, we should prepare some gifts... What do you think I should prepare?"
Xu Qinglin…Xu Qinglin wanted to remain silent like before, but she still spoke inexplicably while wavering: "Eating, drinking, and having fun, that's all."
Jiang Jingyuan was silent for a moment, then said with a hint of disdain, "Is there any difference between what you said and what you didn't say?"
"I've never given anyone a gift, so how would I know?" Xu Qinglin was puzzled and said, "How about you capture two winged people from the killing realm and give them to him? These are rare and limited edition items. It would be quite rare to keep them in the yard."
Jiang Jingyuan was speechless. He uttered a dry laugh for no apparent reason and commented, "What a unique gift."
Jiang Jingyuan paused and asked curiously, "You've never given a gift to anyone?"
"Yeah." Xu Qinglin said as if it was a matter of course. After a pause, she seemed to remember something and added, "My sister? If the feathers of the feathered man and the newly researched elixir of unknown effect can be considered gifts, then I have given them to her."
“……?”
Jiang Jingyuan immediately realized that he had asked the wrong person, so he answered casually and wanted to go by himself.
However, Xu Qinglin was actually curious about her words and asked, "You've never given a gift to anyone?"
Giving gifts... Jiang Jingyuan didn't remember whether she had given gifts to others before she traveled through time, but she vaguely remembered someone - she couldn't remember who that person was, but she remembered that person would often bring some small gifts from outside for her.
The blurry figure briefly surfaced in her mind, and Jiang Jingyuan racked her brains, trying to remember more about that person. The more she thought about it, the more upset she became. Her brows knitted slightly, but the figure in her mind became increasingly blurry.
Jiang Jingyuan forcefully suppressed the irritation and panic in his heart, shook his head, and replied, "I don't remember."
Xu Qinglin didn't ask any more questions and just said "Oh" lightly.
The girl outside was walking slowly in the mansion, quietly thinking about something. Xu Qinglin watched this scene, his eyes slowly moving with her movements.
He narrowed his eyes, and when he opened them again, Xu Qinglin's eyes became calm, and the aura around him suddenly became quiet and restrained.
Give gifts...
Is it because they meet again after a long separation, or is it because they feel guilty and want to reconcile?
Xu Qinglin curled her red lips, and when she thought of this, a strange smile flashed in her eyes.
That's the right thing to do.
Tenderness and gentleness are the qualities of "normal people" that everyone talks about, but in this era, how can those who have survived to this day be gentle?
People who have experienced this chaotic era of living from day to day will never learn to balance numbness or extremely strong emotions.
The calm and orderly exterior was peeled off, revealing countless lunatics howling and reveling day and night.
How can we escape from this purgatory on earth where tears and laughter are intertwined?
Xu Qinglin still remembers the splash of blood and tears. Someone once stood in the sea of fire and laughed wildly and said:
Longevity!
Only immortality!
Hahahahahahaha only by becoming an immortal can one completely escape from the many sufferings of this world!!!
…………
Day and night alternate, repeating over and over again, day after day passes.
The old emperor still did not express his attitude towards exchanging the hostage.
As promised, Jiang Jingyuan stayed patiently in the mansion without taking a single step out, but asked people to search for some rare and interesting things from all over the world.
She was very quiet, with some joy and happiness in her heart.
Xu Qinglin silently watched the girls outside choosing gifts, thinking indifferently, if the Rong family hadn't kept their promise, Jiang Jingyuan wouldn't be as easy to talk to as she is now...
The girl was sitting on the couch, with a pile of large and small brocade boxes on the plush cushion at her feet. She was taking them one by one in her hands, opening them, lowering her head, and checking them one by one, gathering together the things she thought were interesting and piling them on the right.
"Don't they say that you should give handmade gifts to your loved ones?" Xu Qinglin said casually.
Jiang Jingyuan paused, then continued fiddling with it, saying calmly, "In this regard, I'm not as good as you."
She couldn't make elixirs, draw talismans, create winged figures, or refine magical instruments. So what gift could she make herself to give to Jiang Jingjian?
At this moment, there was a crisp "ding" sound.
Jiang Jingyuan suddenly threw away the brocade box in his hand, took out the message card which had turned into a jade plate and began to look at it.
There was only one sentence on the message board:
"Your Highness, congratulations."
Chen country.
At the same time, high up in the mountain, a man hurriedly ran towards the man standing on the edge of the cliff. The man was wearing a black robe embroidered with mysterious patterns, and he was looking quietly into the distance.
The man looked up at the black-clad figure in front of him, and said in a trembling voice with surprise and excitement:
"Congratulations, Your Highness! Congratulations, Your Highness!"
