"Uncle, can I take off your mask?"

"Ah."

After getting permission, Abao's palms were sweating with nervousness.

But at this moment, Xuanyuan Fengran, who was close at hand, looked at her with deep dark eyes.

The moment her fingertips touched Xuanyuan Fengran's mask, she felt as if she was homesick and tears rolled down her eyes.

Xuanyuan Fengran held her hand and took off the mask on his face.

The next moment, A Bao threw himself into Xuanyuan Fengran's arms, leaning on his shoulder and crying silently.

It has been exactly fifty years since you died in front of me.

"Uncle, I miss you so much."

A Bao cried so miserably that Xuanyuan Fengran was frightened.

It had only been a few days since they parted at Marquis Xie's mansion, but Ah Bao missed him so much?

Xuanyuan Fengran's heart softened and he felt warm.

He patted the little girl's back soothingly and coaxed her gently, "Don't cry, don't cry. The emperor's uncle will take you to see something fun."

A Bao hugged his uncle's neck even tighter.

But after thinking about it, she still sniffed and said in a crying voice: "Woo, what's so fun?"

Xuanyuan Fengran took a handkerchief and wiped away the tears on her face, and patiently coaxed her: "Uncle Huang will take you to see it, and you will know, right?"

Po's eyes were red from crying, but they lit up with curiosity.

"Then please take me to have a look."

The princess got married and a grand banquet was held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony for all the ministers and envoys.

The old emperor ordered increased defenses, so tonight the number of royal guards in the Daqi Palace and even the imperial capital increased by two times, and patrols became more strict.

However, A Bao was held in Xuanyuan Fengran's arms, and he climbed over the eaves and walls in the palace as if he was in an empty space.

Until she reached the top of the Taiji Palace, she was put down by Xuanyuan Fengran.

Looking around, A Bao saw the prosperity of the Daqi capital, and beside her, Xuanyuan Fengran stuffed a whistle into her hand.

This whistle has a unique shape, and the jade used to make it seems to have an extraordinary origin.

A Bao took the jade whistle in the palm of his hand and played with it. It felt warm to the touch.

She stared at the jade whistle carefully again, and in the smooth white jade color, there were actually strands of dark gold flowing.

"What is this?" Po asked in surprise.

"This is the private seal of the Emperor's uncle. You will know its use in the future. But tonight..." Xuanyuan Fengran coaxed gently, "Try blowing it first."

Hearing this, although Abao frowned in confusion, he still did as he was told and tried to take a deep breath and blow.

The jade whistle was silent, without any sound.

A Bao thought she wasn't blowing hard enough, so he tried again with all his strength.

Still, no reaction at all.

"........."

A Bao complained to his uncle in frustration, "Look, it doesn't make any sound."

"It rang." Xuanyuan Fengran rubbed his young lady's head, "If you don't believe me, just look."

Before he finished speaking, A Bao saw countless paper kite lanterns floating up from thousands of homes in the imperial capital, and in a moment they filled the originally silent night.

The thin clouds dispersed, revealing the bright full moon, with the lights and the moon shining brightly against each other.

Amid the bright lights, a paper kite lantern floated in front of Abao with the east wind.

She looked closely and found that there was a line of words written on the paper zither lamp.

"We are inseparable year after year, and we are close to each other year after year."

"Uncle, did you write this yourself?"

A Bao pursed his lips and tried to hold back his smile, staring at his uncle with bright eyes, "Don't deny it, I recognize your handwriting."

Xuanyuan Fengran's eyes flickered and he coughed twice, "... Yeah."

Ah Bao smiled and said, "You wrote this sentence on all the paper lanterns in the city?"

"Ah."

A Bao was shocked.

All I saw before me were the bright lights of the city, burning like sparks in the night sky, illuminating the majestic imperial capital as bright as day.

Xuanyuan Fengran put his arms around her waist, leaned over, and rested his forehead against hers.

He sighed helplessly: "Little Abao, starting from that jade ring, could this be just a dream?"

"It's not a dream, it's not a dream!" Upon hearing the word "jade ring", A Bao tightly grasped the corner of Xuanyuan Fengran's robe and asked, "Uncle, do you still have that black jade ring with you?"

Xuanyuan Fengran silently spread out his hands, and the black jade ring lay quietly in his palm.

Po stroked the black jade ring, "Of course they are real. I drew the picture of this black jade ring myself."

As he said that, A Bao murmured, "I've been waiting for a long time, uncle, are you willing to wear it now?"

Xuanyuan Fengran was silent for a moment, "The emperor's uncle is here, you can wear it if you want."

A Bao looked up in surprise, and the moment he saw Xuanyuan Fengran's gentle smile, A Bao suddenly understood.

It was obvious that my uncle had already agreed.

He just wanted her to ask again and then he would agree.

A Bao immediately grabbed Xuanyuan Fengran's hand and anxiously put the silver-black ring on his left ring finger.

The deep black chalcedony made Xuanyuan Fengran's knuckles look even whiter and sharper. The phoenix inlaid in the jade ring, with its wings spread out as if ready to fly, seemed to come alive.

"Put it on! It looks so good on your hand, uncle!"

As she spoke, A Bao looked up at Xuanyuan Fengran with joy, only to see that her uncle seemed quite satisfied as well, and clasped his fingers with hers.
