Back to the day I married my second wife, I turned around and married my ex-husband's uncle

Chapter 539: Fireworks for Jiang Ningwan

When leaving, Hai Dehong couldn't help but look back, feeling very nervous. He always felt that something was wrong, but he didn't dare to say anything.

The emperor's mind is unpredictable. Who knows what he is thinking at this moment? If he is not careful, he will lose his head. He should just do his duty as a servant.

At this time, the emperor slowly walked out of the pavilion.

I stared at it for a long time.

Jiang Xiru turned around halfway through her dance and saw the emperor there. She was startled and quickly stepped forward to pay her respects. "Your Highness, I deserve to die for disturbing you."

The emperor bent down and helped her up. "Why do you call yourself a slave?"

"If you were a slave, what would you do to those people outside?"

Maybe it was because he was drunk, but when he looked at Jiang Xiru, her tearful eyes were so touching.

Jiang Xiru lowered her head and said, "In this palace, I am no different from the slaves. In fact, I am even worse than them."

As she spoke, she raised her hand to wipe away her tears.

The emperor raised his hand absentmindedly to brush away the tears on her face. "You are so self-deprecating and crying here. But what has wronged you? Is it because of Cheng Qian?"

Jiang Xiru lowered her eyes and shook her head, remaining silent and not daring to speak.

But seeing her reaction, the emperor knew that Cheng Qian was involved.

"If he bullies you, I will teach him a lesson tomorrow!"

Hearing this, Jiang Xiru was terrified and knelt down again, "Your Majesty, please don't look for His Highness."

"If he gets angry, my life will be even more difficult."

Hearing this anxious and frightened voice, the emperor couldn't help but frown. It seemed that Cheng Qian treated her a little too harshly. He must still be brooding over what happened in the past.

However, what happened back then was also Cheng Qian's fault.

Thinking of this, the emperor sighed slightly, bent down again to help Jiang Xiru up, and patted the back of her hand, "If you have any grievances, tell me."

Jiang Xiru slowly raised her eyes, her beautiful eyes filled with tears and rippling light, which made the emperor dazed. For a moment, he didn't care about anything else and just wanted to hold her in his arms, protect her and love her.

Soon, the two entered Chenglu Hall.

Never came out again.

The charcoal fire had already been prepared in the hall, and there was no chill at all.

A faint smoke was wafting from the incense burner on the table.

Jinkui had been hiding in the dark corner of the garden. After watching the two people enter Chenglu Palace and never come out again, she quietly left and hurried back to report the news to the eldest prince.

"Your Highness."

Qin Chengqian sat on the steps and drank.

Seeing Jinkui coming, he raised his eyes and asked, "Is it done?"

Hibiscus nodded, "It's done!"

Hearing this, Qin Chengqian raised his head and took a big sip of wine.

"From now on, you will serve Jiang Xiru. When they meet in private, you will quietly light incense. Remember?"

Hibiscus nodded, "I'll remember."

Qin Chengqian then warned, "Jinkui, you were the person my mother trusted most when she was alive. I'm confident in leaving this matter to you. This is our only chance, and nothing can go wrong."

"Don't let Jiang Xiru find out about the incense. If she does, just say it's a love incense to help her gain the Holy Grace faster."

Jinkui responded respectfully, "Yes! I'll keep it in mind!"

In Chenglu Hall, lights were lit until dawn.

Hai Dehong also took his men to guard outside Chenglu Palace for a night.

……

After the Shangyuan Palace Banquet ended, Jiang Ningwan left the palace early.

The streets and the palace were extremely lively, but she always felt empty inside.

Jiang Zhouye and Pei Xunzhi walked together, talking and laughing.

Ling Jinlan and Qin Huaizhao walked together, loving and intimate.

She wanted to talk to someone, but didn't want to disturb them.

After leaving the palace, everyone said goodbye to each other and got on their carriages to go back.

Jiang Ningwan got on the carriage alone, but didn't want to go back to the Prince of Chu's Mansion. "Let's go up to the Magpie Tower."

I don’t know where Qin Shuangchi is now, how he spent the Lantern Festival, and whether he is lonely and desolate.

Although it was not the first time they were separated, they still felt an immense loneliness at this moment.

After being taken to the Dengque Tower, Jiang Ningwan came to the top floor, ordered some food and wine, and admired the moonlight and the lights of thousands of houses alone.

After a few drinks, the waiter suddenly came over and said, "Miss, there is a young man downstairs who wants to see you."

Jiang Ningwan was slightly startled, not knowing who it was. "Let him come up."

Soon the person was brought up. Jiang Ningwan was a little surprised. "It's you? What do you want from me?"

Song Mingyu quickly straightened his clothes and said, "It's nothing serious. Didn't General Jiang help me before? So I specially prepared a gift for General Jiang."

Jiang Ningwan smiled and said, "No need to be so polite."

Song Mingyu looked a little flustered, afraid that she would refuse. "But I'm already prepared. If I don't send it out, I won't be at peace."

"Okay then, what is it?" Jiang Ningwan asked.

Song Mingyu immediately took out a signal firework from his arms and fired it into the sky.

Then a red firework bloomed.

Jiang Ningwan was stunned and was about to ask him.

However, the next moment, even more brilliant fireworks bloomed in the night sky.

It's so beautiful that you can't take your eyes off it.

Thousands of fireworks completely illuminated the dark night sky, and the entire capital was almost covered by the brilliant light.

And a few words would appear on those fireworks every once in a while.

"Jiang Ningwan, a brilliant and talented person..." Jiang Ningwan was amused when she read out these words.

"Is this your idea?" She looked at Song Mingyu.

Song Mingyu's face flushed slightly, and she nodded, feeling extremely nervous. "Does General Jiang still like it?"

"I've never prepared any gifts for a girl, so I can only come up with such a clumsy idea. I hope General Jiang doesn't mind."

Jiang Ningwan smiled and said, "How could I dislike you for your kindness? Thank you."

The fireworks bloomed for a long time. Jiang Ningwan looked at the fireworks in the night sky and recalled the days when she was with Qin Shuangchi in the north.

Song Mingyu stood aside, watching her quietly, with a smile on his face.

As long as she likes it.

The fireworks lasted almost the entire night, and by the next day almost everyone in the city knew about the brilliant Jiang Ningwan.

……

royal palace.

The emperor got up and left when it was almost dawn.

Seeing the emperor coming out, Hai Dehong hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty, it's getting late. I have already informed the people that there will be no court today."

The emperor frowned, rubbed his eyebrows, and said regretfully: "Help me go back and rest. It turns out that I still can't drink too much..."

Just after walking a short distance, he ran into Qin Chengqian head-on.

The emperor's expression changed slightly.

"Father, why aren't you in the bedroom?" Qin Chengqian stepped forward and saluted.

"I didn't rest in my bedroom yesterday. Why are you here?" asked the emperor.

Qin Chengqian frowned and said worriedly, "I came out to look for Xiru. She didn't come home last night. I wonder what she's angry about."

Hearing this, the emperor felt a little guilty.

Then he consoled her, "You should be more considerate of her. Don't think I don't know about the rumors in the palace."

"Look at the third brother and his friends. They are so harmonious and loving. They are a role model!"

Qin Chengqian respectfully agreed and took the opportunity to say, "But Father, it's hard for me and Xiru to go back to the way we were before."

"I want to marry another wife."
