The Princess Kicks Down the Protagonists

After Concubine Yu left, the Empress Dowager invited Yongheng and Fu Lingan to have dinner.

"Concubine Yu said something quite right today. You are all of age now. Jingyan is still young enough to stay for two years. It's time for the three of you to think about your own major life events."

When the old lady said this, Jingyan laughed secretly.

As for urging you to get married, you can’t escape your parents’ various ways of urging you to get married no matter where you are.

Yongheng, the oldest of the four, scratched his head and chuckled, "Old Buddha, my grandson still needs to find someone he loves to marry."

"It's natural."

Karl Lagerfeld is very open-minded. It is better for children to get married with mutual consent.

"So do you have a lover?" Jing Yan asked a soul-searching question.

"Of course not!" Yongheng retorted loudly.

No one noticed the dimming of Qing'er's eyes after she heard the word 'no'.

She didn't know whether she should be happy or sad.

Never mind, not having feelings for anyone else is also good news.

Fu Ling'an went to the palace to find peace and quiet because he was tired of being driven around at home. He didn't expect that he couldn't escape the palace either. He had to eat his meal with his head almost buried in the bowl.

Seeing this, the Empress Dowager was amused. "What about Qing'er? Actually, I think what Concubine Yu said just now is not unreasonable. Yongqi is a good child. You can consider him."

Qing'er nodded obediently.

The Empress Dowager did not force her, but helped her out. Besides, she knew that the Empress Dowager was good to her and cared about her. Even if she had no feelings for Yongqi, she could not refute the words of her elders too much.

"You guys are still young, so it's understandable that you don't want to get married."

Seeing the old lady say this, Jing Yan asked curiously: "Grandmother, didn't you want to get married when you were young?"

"Yes, when I was young, I didn't want to enter the palace for the selection. At that time, I was still naive and dreamed of being together for the rest of my life. So many years have passed in a flash, so I hope that you children can marry the ones you love."

Jingyan was deeply touched when she heard what the Empress Dowager said. She entered the palace as a concubine and now became the empress dowager. Needless to say, the hardships she had gone through were beyond words.

The atmosphere was a little solemn, and she smiled brightly, "If you can't find your beloved, Yan'er will accompany you for the rest of your life."

Qing'er also nodded, "Qing'er too."

"Hahaha, that won't do. I still want to see you two sweethearts happily married."

Soon it was time for the Ullambana Festival.

At night, the Taiye Lake is dotted with stars, and people gather by the river to release river lanterns and pray for blessings.

The various river lanterns of all sizes decorate the entire Taiye Lake beautifully.

The palace maids either walked through the corridors holding river lanterns, or lit river lanterns and placed them in the water. The scene was filled with laughter and joy, and it was truly lively.

The Empress Dowager, the Emperor and others sat on the stage, and their faces were filled with joy as they watched everyone laughing and talking.

"You two, stop accompanying me. Go out and have fun. Let's release river lanterns too."

After receiving instructions from the old lady, the two girls went to the river with the river lanterns they had prepared long ago.

"Jingyan, Qing'er!" Just as Jingyan was looking around for Yongheng, she heard Yongheng calling them.

When they turned around, they saw Yongheng running towards them, holding two exquisite lanterns in his hands, and Fu Lingan following behind him.

"Brother, do you want to release river lanterns too?"

"I won't release it. This is for you," he said, handing the lantern to the two of them. "Qing'er, let's go with you to release the river lanterns. It's also a way to express your longing for your uncle and aunt."

Qing'er didn't expect Yongheng to think of this for her, and her eyes immediately turned red.

Fortunately, it was dark and I couldn’t see clearly.

She nodded heavily, turned and walked to the river.

Yongheng hurried to follow.

Jingyan was very satisfied with her brother's thoughtfulness. She looked at the backs of the two people squatting by the river.

Sure enough, the more you look at the handsome man and beautiful woman, the more you think they are a perfect match.

"What is Princess looking at?" Fu Ling'an walked up to Jing Yan and asked.

"Brother Ling'an, do you think Qing'er and my brother are a good match?"

"Ah."

"It's a pity that neither of them seems to have figured it out yet." Jing Yan felt a little distressed when he mentioned this.

Fu Lingan looked at the girl next to him. Sparks were almost flying between them. He didn't know who was the one who was really stupid and couldn't see through it.

That's it.

"Do you want to release river lanterns?" Fu Ling'an asked as he took out a fire starter.

"Let's go over there."

By the river, Qing'er lit a river lantern and put it into the water to send it away. Then she clasped her hands together and silently expressed her longing for her parents in her heart.

Yongheng paddled gently beside him, "Don't worry, Qing'er, our river lantern will definitely float the farthest."

Qing'er smiled and opened her eyes just in time to see Ziwei and Erkang on the other side of the river.

At this time, Yongheng also saw it, Ziwei and Erkang also looked over, and the four of them looked at each other from a distance.

The first one to react was Ziwei. She was a little flustered and tugged at the corner of Erkang's clothes in confusion.

Unexpectedly, Erkang didn't move. He was staring at Qing'er with an unfriendly look, as if he was a little angry.

Qing'er was a little confused and didn't know what Erkang was angry about.

Yongheng also saw it and immediately pulled Qing'er behind him.

Erkang came to his senses and realized that he had lost his composure. He bowed to the two of them and then took Ziwei away.

Ziwei was dragged away staggeringly, puzzled, "Erkang, what were you thinking about just now?"

"Nothing, let's go find Yongqi and the others."

Seeing Erkang's reaction, a dark light flashed in Ziwei's eyes.

Last time in Jingyan Palace, Erkang had the same reaction to Qing'er. Is there something they are hiding from her?

On the other side, Jing Yan and Fu Ling'an also successfully released the river lanterns, but neither of them had anyone to commemorate, so after releasing them, they walked along the river and chatted.

"So you learned horseback riding a while ago in order to bring them together?"

Jing Yan nodded and smiled awkwardly, "Nothing can be hidden from the young general. Matchmaking is one of the reasons, but the main thing is that I also want to learn."

"It's good to learn. The emperor may go on a southern tour soon. Will you follow him?"

Although he already knew the plot, Jingyan still looked surprised, "Really? That's great! I must go with you! Brother Ling'an must go too."

Fu Lingan smiled and hummed, "Yongheng and I are here to accompany you by order."

"That's great. If I were to go, Qing'er would definitely go too. Then we could travel around the mountains and rivers, doing good deeds, how pleasant it would be."

At this time, Qing'er and Yongheng came over and asked, "I heard Yan'er shouting 'That's great' from a distance. What good news is that?"

"I just told her about the southern tour." Fu Ling'an replied.

"Why is your mouth like a loudspeaker? Didn't we agree to keep it a secret from her?" Realizing that he had let the cat out of the bag, Yongheng stopped complaining.

"Yong! Heng! I knew you were still not my real brother!" Jing Yan couldn't help it, he chased Yong Heng and hit him.

"Ouch! I was just worried that you'd find out too soon and not have the energy to do anything else!"

Yongheng explained as he ran.

"Do you think I believe it?"

"Oh no, there's a fire, put it out!"

Exclamations interrupted several people.

There was a commotion on the other side, and then several people saw the Buddha's Dharma ship being burned.
