The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

On the Congyin River, river lanterns are lit up, forming a winding dream flowing into the distance.

There is no moon or stars tonight.

In fact, river lanterns were originally released on the night of the Ghost Festival. Recently, people in Beijing released river lanterns on their own to pray for blessings and cheer for Beiyi, resulting in the spectacular scene before our eyes.

Yao Sheng sat by the river, looking at his daughters and sons' wishes for river lanterns one by one, and then watching them happily playing and releasing river lanterns together.

I just feel that life is so beautiful.

Not far away, Emperor Mingde, who was on a secret visit, asked Cen Yuan, "What wish did you make?"

Cen Yuan answered him perfunctorily, "May the North Wing be peaceful and prosperous, and may our emperor create a prosperous and flourishing world."

"Tell the truth!"

"May Emperor Mingde live long..."

"Hmm?" Emperor Mingde raised his eyes in warning. If this damned boy dared to say "turtle bastard", he would punish him with death.

Cen Yuan laughed, "Look at how stingy you are!" He picked up the river lantern in his hand and let Emperor Mingde see it for himself.

Emperor Mingde leaned forward to take a look, and saw that it did indeed say, "May Emperor Mingde live like..." followed by "the way he wants to live" instead of "turtle bastard".

Emperor Mingde's heart and eyes were filled with tears.

It seems that his son-in-law has no objection to him being with Chu Jun!

Then he heard his son-in-law say leisurely, "What you want is for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, to have food to eat and clothes to wear, to work hard to recover the lost land, and to protect your country and your people. This is your fate of loneliness."

Emperor Mingde: “…”

It turns out it wasn't what he thought?

Then he heard his son-in-law say, "Believe me, women will only hinder your progress in achieving the strength of the Northern Wing."

Hey! Why does this sound so unpleasant? Emperor Mingde asked back, "You mean, Xia'er is a burden to you?"

"Some women are helpful. The Phoenix Girl of Destiny is incomparable." Cen Yuan's clear and proud laughter echoed along the Congyin River. She was too lazy to pay attention to Emperor Mingde and walked away.

Tang Chujun was also trying to release the river lanterns. Before he put them down, he saw his son-in-law walking towards him with a smile. He asked, "Yuan'er, why are you laughing so happily? Tell me and I will laugh too."

Before Cen Yuan could say anything, Emperor Mingde rushed over and covered his mouth from behind like a teenager.

Emperor Mingde ignored the boy's struggle and asked Tang Chujun, "Did you release the river lanterns?"

"Not yet. This place is a bit far from the water." Tang Chujun had already discovered that Emperor Mingde had a really good relationship with his son-in-law.

If it weren't for the big age gap, they would look like real brothers...ah, Tang Xinghe and Ma Chuyang are the same, they curse at each other all the time, but they are actually very nice people.

Emperor Mingde asked for something to talk about, "What wish did you make?"

Tang Chujun was a little embarrassed when asked this question. Shangxie, how can you say this? The real master is here.

Emperor Mingde let go of Cen Yuan and pushed her away with disdain, "I'll help you release the river lantern." He took a step forward, took the river lantern from her hand, and walked towards the river.

Tang Chujun exclaimed, "Ah!" and trotted after it, "This way, this is a good spot. There are fewer people, and the river lanterns can flow to the wind and go over there."

Emperor Mingde turned his head and saw a woman in the dim light. She was wearing a long gown with moon-white sleeves and a light silk skirt of the same color. There were no extra hairpins or flowers on her temples, only a white jade hairpin holding up her flowing black hair.

Her neck was as graceful as a swan's, and as white as jade. Perhaps she had drunk a few glasses of wine that night, and was a little tipsy. And because she was jogging and walking in small steps, she looked a little more cute and naive, which only a young girl could have.

Emperor Mingde suddenly felt that there was a moon tonight even though there was no moon.

She was like a stream of moonlight, spreading out and filling his entire heart.

He had never felt anything like this before.

Fortunately, the night was dark and concealed the redness on his ears.

He didn't dare to look at her anymore, but his eyes were still filled with the moonlight and her.

Emperor Mingde squatted at the place designated by Tang Chujun, his heart beating like a drum, and asked gently, "Is it here?"

Tang Chujun nodded, and realizing that he couldn't see anything because he had his back to her, he added, "Yes, yes, it's right here. Be steady, or the lanterns will flip over if you use too much force."

"Okay." He agreed with his back to her and placed the river lantern in the water. In the light of the river lantern next to him, he saw the wishes she wrote on the wall of the lantern. The first one was, "May our emperor live forever."

There was a long list of wishes to come, but he had no intention of reading them. He just gently put the river lantern into the water, and then gently floated it on the water. The river lantern then floated away.

Tang Chujun clapped his hands and laughed, "It floated away."

Emperor Mingde turned around, stood in front of Tang Chujun, and said solemnly, "Okay, I promise you."

"Ah?" Tang Chujun took a step back in surprise and almost lost his balance.

Emperor Mingde reached out his hand, helped him up and then withdrew his hand, trying his best to act calm, "Don't you wish me a long life? I got it, haha..." He waved his hand and strode away.

He felt that this night would be something he would savor for the rest of his life.

As his son-in-law said, what he wanted was for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, have food to eat and clothes to wear, and for him to work hard to recover the lost territories and protect his country and his people.

This is his destiny.

As for Tang Chujun... forget it, just let her live a more relaxed life.

He still had to rely on others to protect his own life. If people knew that Tang Chujun was his weak spot, he would never be able to redeem himself even if he died a hundred times.

Xia'er will also blame him.

He was full of melancholy and tenderness.

Before getting on the carriage to return to the palace, Emperor Mingde called An Xia over and said, "Good child, I... apologize to you. I don't mean to ignore you today, nor do I doubt your intentions. I'm just worried that someone will use the art of incantation to hurt you and control you, and then..."

Shi Anxia bowed gently, "Father, there is no need to explain. Xia'er understands."

Emperor Mingde sat on the carriage back to the palace. He was silent for a long time before he said sadly, "Youen, I... today, I am very sad and happy. I have never been so happy as today... She wishes me a long life."

Qi Jieyuhua was unable to understand: "..."

There are so many people who wish you a long life, but I have never seen you happy.

On the other side, Tang Chujun was smiling like a flower, holding Yao Sheng's arm and leaning his head on her shoulder, "Hehe, the emperor is quite interesting."

Yao Sheng lowered his eyebrows and looked at this innocent woman, then asked softly, "What's so interesting about it?"

Tang Chujun recalled the kind and solemn smile of Emperor Mingde, with a look of reverence on his face, "He actually agreed to my request! I wish him a long life, and he actually said he agreed to my request! Haha, isn't it very interesting?"

Yao Sheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and wanted to ask several times, what would you do if Emperor Mingde liked you?

But when he looked down at the woman's drunken eyes and rosy cheeks, he knew that she must have had a few drinks tonight and was a little drunk.

The carriage drove all the way into Yu Sheng Pavilion. Tang Chujun was indeed drunk, and she was carried into the house by the maids and servants.

Shi Anxia and Cen Yuan hurried to Yu Sheng Pavilion to ask and found out that their mother had fallen asleep in a drunken state.

Just as they were about to leave, they heard Tang Chujun muttering "Long live the emperor"... The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
