Jiang Ningwan walked quickly to the corridor, just in time to see the lion dance below.

The streets were bustling with people.

As the drums started beating, several lions began to jump onto the racks, and the other lions started fighting among themselves.

From time to time, lions would fall from their cages, which was terrifying to watch, but fortunately they were all very agile and would land on their feet without getting hurt.

Jiang Ningwan watched the lion dance while looking at the street, wondering why Qin Shuangchi hadn't come back yet.

But there shouldn't be any danger in the city. Perhaps there are too many people on the streets and it will be difficult to squeeze in for the time being.

Soon, a red lion and two white lions climbed to higher ground.

Leaving the other lions behind.

But the fight was still fierce. After all, it was very difficult to stand firmly on the rack and maintain the lion's movements and posture.

When they climbed higher, only a red lion and a white lion were left, almost right in front of Jiang Ningwan.

Suddenly the red lion shook its head and pounced on her in a threatening manner.

Jiang Ningwan was slightly startled, and the next moment, two flowers came out of the lion's mouth.

Jiang Ningwan was a little surprised, "For me?"

The lion blinked, and Jiang Ningwan took the flower, the fragrance filling her nostrils.

She tried to look inside to see who was inside, but she couldn't see clearly. Suddenly, her eyes turned and she noticed his pants, which were black.

Not from a magic troupe.

But when I looked again, I saw that the person in front of the white lion opposite was also wearing black pants. Both of them were passers-by who were participating.

But the one in the Red Lion must be Qin Shuangchi!

Jiang Ningwan thought about it, her eyes focused on the red lion.

The two lions were seen fighting fiercely to compete for the prize on top. They almost fell down several times.

Jiang Ningwan was very nervous.

After a fight, the red brocade box flew out directly. The red lion pounced on it regardless of everything, with its whole body hanging in the air.

Everyone gasped nervously.

But he grabbed the brocade box, and the person behind him grabbed his legs and pulled him back.

Hanging upside down on the shelf.

His body was nimble and he landed steadily.

There was a burst of warm applause all around.

Jiang Ningwan bent over and leaned on the railing, wanting to see if that was Qin Shuangchi.

But the other party did not take off the lion dance mask. Instead, he continued to climb up the shelf and then jumped into the corridor on the second floor.

He opened his mouth towards her and spat out the red brocade box.

Everyone's eyes were focused on him.

The magicians shouted, "Congratulations to the red lion for winning the prize and giving it to the beautiful woman. May you have continuous good fortune and success in your future!"

Jiang Ningwan slowly picked up the brocade box, opened it and took a look. There were two concentric jade pendants.

"You're not picking it yet? Let me see who you are."

When the lion head mask was taken off, a handsome figure came into view.

Looking at that spirited and handsome face, Jiang Ningwan's heart twitched, and a gentle smile appeared on her lips, "I knew it was you!"

"Do you like it?" Qin Shuangchi asked gently.

Jiang Ningwan nodded, "I like it!"

After she finished speaking, she hugged Qin Shuangchi and the two of them hugged each other tightly.

Cheers and applause were heard all around.

"A talented man and a beautiful woman, they are a perfect match!"

“I wish you a long and happy life together!”

Listening to the cheers and blessings around her, Jiang Ningwan's heart was filled with happiness.

At this moment, a loud bang was heard in the night sky, and fireworks suddenly bloomed in the night sky, so brilliant that they illuminated Jiang Ningwan's watery eyes.

"What a beauty……"

Qin Shuangchi put his arm around her shoulders, and the two of them leaned against each other and admired the fireworks in the sky.

In the corner of the street, Qin Beihuang slowly took off his lion dance headgear and looked at the figures cuddling each other upstairs, feeling sad.

It turned out that the person who had just competed with him for the prize was Qin Shuangchi.

What he thought of, Qin Shuangchi had also thought of long ago.

As expected, he is always one step behind others in everything.

Thinking of this, he felt empty inside. Although the surroundings were extremely lively, it could not fill the emptiness in his heart, as if something was completely lost.

He stood under the eaves and looked in silence for a long time.

Jiang Ningwan picked up the two jade pendants in the brocade box and said, "The Heart Jade Pendants, how can their troupe predict the future? We are two people."

Qin Shuangchi said calmly: "This is fate."

"This year's lottery is destined to belong to us!"

Jiang Ningwan raised the corner of her lips and handed him one, "Then put it on and don't take it off."

The smile reflected in Qin Shuangchi's deep eyes is brighter and more brilliant than the fireworks in the night sky.

He held the jade pendant tightly, "I will be with you forever, and we will never leave each other."

……

The lantern festival ended, but Jiang Ningwan still felt a little reluctant to leave.

Under Qin Shuangchi's leadership, they visited many places in the north, including the mining area.

It is the most miserable place in the entire north. The sky is full of dust and the ground is covered with minerals. The sun is not very hot, but everyone is so hot that they have to pull carts with their bare chests.

When Jiang Ningwan saw their expressions, she couldn't help but think that her grandfather had to go through all this at such an old age, and she felt sad.

He was once a great general on the battlefield, but ended up in this situation, doing hard and tiring work, dedicating his entire life to the Daning Kingdom, but in the end he couldn't even spend his old age in peace.

Seeing tears in her eyes, Qin Shuangchi held her hand and said with a guilty tone, "I'm sorry."

Jiang Ningwan shook her head and held back her tears.

"Do not blame you."

"I hate the people who framed my grandfather's family, and I also hate the emperor who acted arbitrarily without knowing right from wrong."

Qin Shuangchi comforted her, "Our efforts now are to prevent others around us from suffering the same injustice."

Jiang Ningwan nodded.

She knew very well that the prince's party was afraid of the third prince's power, so by cutting down the Ling family, he would be able to support the Lu family.

But there is no evidence for all this.

How can the death of Qiu Cheng be enough!

She was going to make them all pay!

……

Before I knew it, it was already March.

Everything is ready and they are ready to set off back to Kyoto.

But he still concealed the news and did not spread the news that the King of Chu was alive, so as to avoid being hunted down on the road.

He returned to Beijing quietly, keeping his whereabouts secret.

Another reason was to attend the wedding of the Crown Prince and Jiang Xiru in early April.

Let’s see if Jiang Xiru can fulfill her dream of becoming the Crown Princess.

……

March twenty-fifth.

The weather has warmed up, but it is still quite cold at night.

Qin Chengqian has been very busy with his wedding recently.

Taking advantage of the night to rush to the Lu family, "What's the matter? Tell me quickly."

Lu Lingsong handed over the letter confidently, "Your Highness, this is Qingheng's recent reply."

"She has found the gold mine and mined it."

"The only regret is that when they found it, the gold mine had already been partially dug up. A while ago, many treasure hunters gathered in Fengyuan City. I guess some cunning people must have dug up the gold mine."

"She has sent people to track him down, but he is still unaccounted for."

Qin Chengqian's eyes lit up, he picked up the letter and took a look. There was a small piece of smelted gold in the envelope.

He was immediately overjoyed. "It doesn't matter. As long as the gold mine is there, it's fine."

"How much can some treasure hunters in the Jianghu dig up?"

"Your sister is quite capable! When she comes back, I will definitely reward her handsomely!"

"By the way, wasn't she divorced by Qin Beihuang? I have a lot of good candidates here, and their family backgrounds are not low. Let your sister choose by herself when the time comes."

"I guarantee they are all legal wives."

Lu Lingsong saluted quickly, "Thank you, Your Highness!"
