Chapter 315 Completed
Just as Jiang Feili was about to refuse again with righteous indignation, Song Jinglan's casual remark left him completely speechless.
"Since you're not married and don't have anyone to spend time with, what's different about Qixi Festival compared to other days?"
After saying this, Song Jinglan didn't wait for his reply. He waved his hand and turned to leave with Jiang Yuyue.
"I'm entrusting the Crown Prince to you."
Jiang Feili was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Jiang Qimo initially disagreed with separating from Jiang Yuyue, but under Song Jinglan's coercion and enticement, he finally agreed. Seeing that he had finally left the palace again, his eyes were full of curiosity about the bustling street scene.
“Father… my dad said that you, Brother Jiang, are the most fun-loving.”
Jiang Qimo looked up and grabbed his hand, her voice filled with undisguised excitement, "Quickly take Mo'er to see some fun places!"
Return Brother Jiang?
Jiang Feili was so angry that he gritted his teeth. How could he have been demoted in terms of seniority?
After getting rid of Jiang Qimo, the little burden who always tried to steal Jiang Yuyue from him, Song Jinglan felt much better. The two held hands tightly and stood close together. Even though they had changed into casual clothes, they were still a very pleasing couple to the eye among the many lovers on this Qixi Festival.
As dusk settled, the streets teemed with tourists, and the cries of street vendors rose and fell. Jiang Yuyue took a deep breath, feeling quite moved.
The last time she spent Qixi Festival with Song Jinglan was five years ago. Although several years have passed, the liveliness of the Qixi Lantern Festival has only increased, making it all the more memorable.
"Oh my, young master, you and your wife are truly a perfect couple!"
An old man at a fortune-telling stall saw the two of them and immediately began to utter auspicious words, "In my opinion, you two are a match made in heaven. Your destinies are compatible, this is a preordained fate. The young master's destiny is like a dragon, and the lady's fortune is like a phoenix!"
These words made Song Jinglan extremely happy, and he immediately stopped to hear what else he could say. Jiang Yuyue gently tugged at his sleeve.
"These are all charlatans."
Jiang Yuyue lowered her voice and said, "He would say such things whenever he saw a couple. Once on Qixi Festival, when I was walking with Axi, that old man also said such nonsense. After he finished, he told us to buy some jade pendant to ward off bad luck."
"Nonsense? That's not necessarily true."
Song Jinglan raised an eyebrow, clearly pleased with what the old man said. As soon as he finished speaking, the old man sighed, stroked his beard, and said with great regret.
"It's a pity that you two are destined to face another calamity. Fortunately, I have a piece of jade here that was given to me by a master a few years ago. With this item, I guarantee that you two will be able to turn bad luck into good and deepen your relationship. If you are willing, I am willing to part with it and sell it to you."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuyue immediately adopted a "I knew it" expression, while Song Jinglan's expression was extremely serious, and he made a move to take out his money pouch.
"How much? I bought it."
Despite Jiang Yuyue's repeated attempts to stop him, she couldn't prevent Song Jinglan from spending a large sum of money to buy this piece of jade, which looked to be of extremely poor quality, from the old man. She couldn't help but shake her head helplessly, wondering why someone as intelligent as Song Jinglan would believe such a flawed explanation.
Despite this little incident, it didn't stop them from enjoying the rare liveliness. Song Jinglan accompanied Jiang Yuyue to try almost all the street food along the way, and of course, they also had to do the traditional Qixi Festival activity of releasing lanterns.
Jiang Yuyue chose two of the most exquisite lanterns, one for her and one for Song Jinglan. As usual, they found a secluded spot along the river, lit the lanterns with tinder, and began to make wishes.
Previously, Song Jinglan had never made such a wish, but this year, for the first time ever, he put his hands together and earnestly spoke about his wish.
"May Jiang Yuyue never leave without saying goodbye, and may there never be another man by her side."
These words nearly made Jiang Yuyue choke on her own saliva. What kind of wish was he making?
"Who makes a wish like that?"
Jiang Yuyue chuckled, then deliberately teased, "Have you forgotten? Wishes won't come true if you say them out loud."
Upon hearing this, Song Jinglan's face darkened instantly. He was always extremely sensitive about such matters. Jiang Yuyue knew his temperament well and realized that she had gone a bit too far, so she quickly corrected herself.
"I was just joking with you. Your wish is sure to come true."
Jiang Yuyue quickly took his hand and tried to comfort him, but Song Jinglan's expression did not soften. Seeing that he was like this again, Jiang Yuyue felt helpless. However, she had indeed said something wrong this time, so she softened her tone and tried to comfort him.
Why would you need to pray to gods or Buddhas for something like this?
Jiang Yuyue put away her joking expression and instead looked serious. "Even if there are other men around me, I won't be tempted. Whether it was Xie Yunqi or Pei Jingchuan before, I have no romantic feelings for either of them."
"I chose you to be the father of my child because I valued you. You know my character. If I wasn't good to you and not sincere, how could I have had Mo'er with you?"
Jiang Yuyue's tone grew slower and slower as she spoke, "It's true that I was wary of you before, but that's all in the past. Now that the misunderstanding between us has been cleared up, and I wasn't forced to become your empress, so why would I run away again?"
Seeing that Song Jinglan's expression had softened somewhat, Jiang Yuyue then said in a more flattering tone, "Besides, where else in this world can you find someone as wise and brave, handsome and dashing, with such an imposing presence and debonair charm as you..."
These words finally calmed Song Jinglan's resentment. Seeing that Jiang Yuyue was about to run out of words to praise the man, he pulled her close and the two immediately pressed together in an extremely ambiguous way.
"You know the truth."
Song Jinglan lowered his eyes and stared straight at her, then wrapped his arms around her. His gaze was filled with undisguised heat. Jiang Yuyue also felt her earlobes burning. Just as she was about to tiptoe and offer her lips, a strange feeling suddenly came over her, and an uncontrollable nausea surged into her heart.
Just as their lips were about to touch, she suddenly turned her head away, her face deathly pale.
"vomit--"
This made Song Jinglan's expression freeze. Was he really that disgusting?
But as soon as his displeasure surfaced, another guess immediately came to mind.
Could it be...?!
Song Jinglan quickly patted her back gently to ease her discomfort. After the nausea subsided, he tentatively asked, "Is there anything wrong with your body?"
Jiang Yuyue was taken aback, but then she realized what was happening and immediately reached out to feel her own pulse. A moment later, she had an answer.
"It's... a pregnancy test!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Song Jinglan immediately picked her up and carried her in his arms, his dark eyes overflowing with tender affection.
"What are you doing? This is on the street..." Jiang Yuyue raised her eyebrows slightly, her tone somewhat incredulous.
When did Song Jinglan become so shameless?
Moreover, he was traveling incognito; what if he attracted attention and his identity was exposed...?
But he was immersed in a kind of joy frozen in this moment, his eyebrows like melting spring snow, and a smile on his lips.
"I'm not going shopping anymore, I'm going back to the palace to rest and prepare for childbirth."
