Returning after a three-year escape from death, the tyrant has turned evil.

Chapter 368 Extra Ancient Chapter 4
After a while, Song Yi's legs went numb from squatting. When she looked up, she found that Jiang Lanye was not looking at her, nor was he looking at the memorials. He seemed to be trying his best to endure something.

Jiang Huaijin searched for a long time, finally giving up in frustration: "Your Majesty, I cannot find it."

Upon hearing this, Song Yi crawled out from under the table.

Jiang Huaijin was stunned when he saw this: "So that's where it was!"

Song Yi smiled smugly.

Sometimes, Jiang Lanye really couldn't understand why Song Yi was so competitive in front of a child.

But clearly, this matter is no longer important, because there are more important things to do.

"Jin'er, your father and mother have important matters to attend to. It's time for your meal."

"it is good."

He obediently turned and left.

Song Yi looked at Jiang Lanye with a blank expression: "What important matter is it?"

Jiang Lanye looked at her with unusually deep eyes, and didn't say much. He just suddenly stood up, picked her up and carried her to rest: "Aren't your legs numb? I'll carry you to rest."

"Eh"

It wasn't until she was placed on the bed and saw Jiang Lanye suddenly press down on her that Song Yi finally realized something was wrong. She tried to sit up and run away, but Jiang Lanye forcibly pressed her back down.

"Jiang Lanye!"

She started to struggle: "We just had a rough night last night, can't you let me rest for a day?"

He pinched Song Yi's flushed cheeks, lowered his head and kissed her lips, while his other hand began to roam freely.

After a while, Song Yi's body went limp, and her hair was scattered on the bed, adding a touch of messy beauty.

Jiang Lanye looked at her, who was so willing to be picked, and chuckled softly: "Seeing how you were running and jumping around today, you must have recovered quite well. You had the ability to crawl under my table just now, so why are you shy now?"

After saying that, he paused, then deliberately teased, "You said before that we're an old married couple, and that I've always been unable to control myself in this matter. You should know that, right?"

Song Yi: "You keep spouting off your theories, but all you're really doing is trying to be a scoundrel!"

"Ah."

He readily admitted it.

"you!"

Jiang Lanye showed no mercy and completely ignored her pleas for mercy.

Her voice quickly became hoarse, like a cat's meow, delicate and charming.

"Jiang Lanye, the reason I can run and jump today is because you went easy on me last night, not because my stamina has improved!"

Despite being at a disadvantage, she was still trying to gain some chances of winning.

Jiang Lanye's voice gradually became languid and deep as he looked down at her bewildered expression:

"Yes, so I'm not going to hold back now."

"What did you say?"

Soon, Song Yi was completely unable to protest.

As winter approaches.

Song Yi followed Jiang Lanye packing his things with a blank expression, somewhat surprised: "Going to the imperial palace? Going to the imperial palace in winter?"

"Hmm, Jin'er is always clinging to you here, and she's completely ignoring me."

For some reason, upon hearing this, Song Yi inexplicably felt that Jiang Lanye seemed a little wronged.

She couldn't help but chuckle, and stood on tiptoe to wrap her arms around his neck: "You're jealous of your prince?"

"Ah."

Song Yi was a playful person by nature, and she was willing to go wherever Jiang Lanye wanted to take her. Moreover, since Jiang Huaijin came into the picture, the two of them hadn't really been close. Throughout the day, Jiang Huaijin would always take the initiative to come and cling to the two of them.

Sometimes when Jiang Lanye kissed her, Jiang Huaijin would look on curiously.

Over time, Song Yi stopped allowing Jiang Lanye to kiss her. Jiang Lanye didn't think much of it, but Song Yi wouldn't allow it. "Alright then, let's go there to spend the winter. But Jin'er will miss us."

"He needs to grow up, and we won't be gone for long."

Song Yi chuckled.

The two of them took a carriage there early in the morning.

Upon arriving at the imperial palace, Song Yi felt exceptionally at ease and said with a smile, "When it snows, shall we sit in that pavilion and watch the snow fall?"

"it is good."

Jiang Lanye also got some rare rest, but after a few days, Song Yi struggled to get out of bed. Looking at the glass of warm water Jiang Lanye handed her, she said in a hoarse voice:

"We came here to relax, but it's become an easy place for you to exploit me."

Jiang Lanye looked completely innocent: "I am indeed relaxing like this."

Song Yi: "."

She felt like she was about to die, but when she woke up the next day, Jiang Lanye was always so calm and composed, not feeling tired at all. Several times, if it weren't for his concern for Song Yi, Song Yi would have really fainted.

She struggled to lift her leg and kicked Jiang Lanye: "You hypocrite."

Jiang Lanye smiled faintly, then caught a glimpse of the scenery outside the window out of the corner of her eye.

Outside the window, snowflakes had quietly begun to fall, drifting down silently. Inside the hall, it was warm and cozy, with the charcoal fire burning brightly.

Jiang Lanye withdrew his gaze and looked at Song Yi beside him, who was wrapped in a brocade quilt, her cheeks still flushed with the afterglow of satiation, and who was glaring at him angrily. The smile in his eyes deepened.

He reached out and pulled her, blanket and all, into his arms, gently rubbing his chin against the top of her head as he whispered:
"Look, it's snowing." His voice was languid and content. "The first snow of this winter."

Song Yi's attention was quickly drawn: "Let's go see the snow!"

"How can you get out like this?"

“...Carry me.”

Song Yi was bundled up in thick clothes, so Jiang Lanye simply picked her up and carried her towards the pavilion.

Upon reaching the top floor, the view suddenly opened up.

As far as the eye could see, everything was pure white, with the undulating vermilion palace walls and glazed tiles covered in snow, and the distant hillsides hidden behind the snow curtain.

The branches of the trees below the attic were bent into curves by the weight of the snow, and a thin layer of ice had formed on the lake.

Fine snowflakes continued to fall from the gray-white sky, and the entire palace was so quiet that the soft rustling of the falling snowflakes could be heard.

Song Yi nestled in Jiang Lanye's warm embrace, gazing at the magnificent yet serene snowscape, and softly said:
"The snow is so beautiful."

Song Yi was looking at the snow, but Jiang Lanye was looking at Song Yi: "Yes, it's very beautiful."

She suddenly kissed Jiang Lanye: "Jiang Lanye, do you know what scene I like the most?"

"What is it?"

“Every time I wake up from a nap, I can see you sitting there, or lying next to me. You are always there, always by my side. It feels so good.”

Jiang Lanye chuckled softly: "I could say those words myself."

She murmured, "How fortunate I am to have found the love of my life and be able to hold hands with you and watch the seasons change."

Jiang Lanye's brow twitched slightly, and he placed a tender, cherished kiss on her forehead.

Song Yi saw the overflowing love in Jiang Lanye's eyes and couldn't help but smile.

The snow fell silently, but his love was deep and tender.

The seasons change in the world, but the people around us are the eternal spring, summer, autumn and winter.
