Li Yi sat upright on the dragon throne, his eyes deep and determined. He looked down at the ministers of the Royal Highness. Those urgent state affairs that needed to be resolved were like heavy shackles, tightly binding him. As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, every decision he made was closely related to the well-being of the common people and the rise and fall of the country.
Even though his love for Lin Yue was like a surging river, in the face of the myriad of political affairs, he could only carefully hide this deep affection in the deepest part of his heart.
For countless long days and nights, in the dim imperial study, among the mountains of memorials, he was accompanied by exhaustion and loneliness. The flickering candlelight reflected his furrowed brows and increasingly haggard face. He engaged in intense discussions with the ministers, repeatedly weighing the pros and cons, all for the sake of a more prosperous future for the Tang Dynasty and to ensure that the people could live in peace.
Finally, on a sunny morning, Li Yi made an astonishing decision - to abdicate. He solemnly handed over the jade seal, which symbolized the supreme power, to the next virtuous and capable monarch, Li Muyang. The moment he stepped out of the Qinzheng Hall, the warm sunlight shone upon him. He took a deep breath and felt that the heavy burden on his body was instantly lifted, and an unprecedented sense of ease welled up in his heart.
At this moment, his mind was filled with Lin Yue's figure. Those short but wonderful times they once spent together were like brilliant stars, twinkling in his memory. He couldn't wait to go back to her side and make up for the missing company. Li Yi returned to the bedroom where they had once lived together. A familiar atmosphere greeted him, and every corner was filled with their laughter and sweet memories. However, when he saw Lin Yue, his heart suddenly tightened.
She, who once had a bright smile and lively eyes, now often shows loneliness and solitude, and her smiles have become rare and forced. Li Yi was filled with guilt. He knew well that his absence over the years had brought Lin Yue indescribable pain. He secretly vowed that he would do everything possible to make her smile happily again.
Agui, as Li Yi's trusted attendant, has gone through thick and thin with him. Years of companionship have enabled him to have a clear understanding of Li Yi's thoughts, and he has always been full of ideas. Li Yi hurried straight towards Agui's room, his heart brimming with anticipation, as if he had seen a glimmer of hope in the darkness. He firmly believed that Agui would surely come up with a brilliant idea for him.
"Agui!" Li Yi pushed open the door of Agui's room with a sudden force, his voice carrying a hint of urgency and anticipation. Agui was concentrating on organizing his books. Hearing the noise, he quickly turned around and saw Li Yi's anxious look on his face. He couldn't help but feel puzzled. "Master, what's wrong with you?" Agui asked with concern.
Li Yi quickly walked to Agui's side, plopped down and said, "Agui, I'm abdicating now. Finally, I have time to spend quality time with Lin Yue." But I want to cheer her up. Please give me some ideas quickly.
After hearing this, Agui's lips curled up slightly, revealing a knowing smile as he said, "Master, you've finally come to your senses." Let me think it over carefully.
Agui began to pace slowly in the room, his brows tightly knitted together, forming a deep "川" character. His eyes revealed concentration and contemplation. With every step he took, it seemed as if he was carefully sifting through all possible ideas in his mind.
Li Yi sat aside, his eyes fixed on Agui without blinking. His hands involuntarily clenched the corners of his clothes, and his palms were already soaked with sweat. His heart was like a little rabbit, up and down, full of anticipation for a good idea.
After a long while, Agui suddenly stopped in his tracks, his eyes lit up sharply and he said excitedly, "Got it!" Master, we can hold a grand fireworks display in the garden of the mansion. Just imagine, under the vast and brilliant starry sky, fireworks bloom like a dream. How romantic that scene would be!
Li Yi heard this and thought the idea was indeed good, but he was also a little worried. "Fireworks are not difficult to prepare, but how can we make them more special and more touching to Lin Yue?" " Li Yi frowned slightly and asked in puzzlement.
Agui thought for a moment, a sly glint flashing in his eyes, and said, "We can do something about the fireworks." Add some special spices to the fireworks to make them emit Lin Yue's favorite jasmine fragrance when they bloom. Moreover, we can also design some special patterns, such as using fireworks to form the scene of your first encounter with Lin Yue, or the abbreviations of your two names.
After hearing this, Li Yi's face showed a satisfied smile and he nodded repeatedly, saying, "Agui, your idea is simply wonderful!" Just do it like this.
Immediately after that, Li Yi and A GUI got busy. Li Yi personally traveled between various firework workshops, carefully selecting each type of firework. He picked up the fireworks, examined them carefully, and asked the craftsman about the details such as the material, burning time, and blooming effect of the fireworks, ensuring that each one was in the best condition to give Lin Yue a perfect surprise.
Agui then went around to contact skilled craftsmen and described in detail to them the requirements for making special fireworks. Not only did he draw the general pattern, but he also repeatedly reminded the artisans to pay attention to the proportion of spices and make sure that the fireworks would emit the purest jasmine fragrance.
During the preparation process, Li Yi also carefully arranged for someone to decorate the garden. He asked people to hang a colorful lantern along the garden path at intervals. The colors of these lanterns were soft and warm, swaying gently in the breeze as if telling a romantic story.
In the center of the garden, near the lake, an exquisite and elegant pavilion has been built. The pavilion was filled with charming and alluring flowers. Besides the jasmine that Lin Yue loved, there were also red roses symbolizing love. The rich fragrance of flowers filled the air.
Besides, he also had a sumptuous feast prepared by someone. Each dish was Lin Yue's favorite on a daily basis. From exquisite pastries to delicious dishes, every detail was filled with his sincerity.
Finally, the day came for the fireworks display. Li Yi asked Agui to take Lin Yue to the garden early on, while he himself hid aside, full of tension and anticipation.
The moment Lin Yue stepped into the garden, she couldn't help but stop in her tracks, her eyes brimming with surprise and admiration. The colorful lanterns illuminated the entire garden like stars, and the soft light fell on the path, creating a dreamlike and illusory atmosphere. The air is filled with the intoxicating fragrance of flowers, as if one were in a fairyland. This is... Lin Yue covered her mouth in surprise, her eyes glinting with delight.
At this moment, Li Yi slowly came out from the side, with a gentle smile on his face. He walked up to Lin Yue and said softly, "Yue 'er, this is the surprise I've prepared for you." I have spent too little time with you these years. From now on, I will always be with you and never be apart again.
Lin Yue's eyes instantly became moist upon hearing this, and tears of emotion glistened in her eyes. Just then, a burst of colorful fireworks suddenly appeared in the sky, like huge blooming flowers, illuminating the entire night sky.
The delicate jasmine fragrance emanated from the fireworks, refreshing the heart and soul. What's even more surprising is that the scene of Li Yi and Lin Yue's first meeting, along with their initials, gradually emerged from the fireworks. The image was so vivid that it seemed to reinterpret their love story in the night sky.
Looking at all this dreamlike scene before her, Lin Yue's heart was filled with happiness and emotion. She could no longer hold back her emotions and hugged Li Yi tightly, sobbing uncontrollably, saying, "Yilang, thank you. I'm really so happy." Li Yi gently stroked Lin Yue's hair and said tenderly, "Silly girl, from now on, I will make you as happy as you are now every day."
Under the glow of the fireworks, Li Yi and Lin Yue embraced each other tightly. Their figures were stretched long, as if blending in with the romantic night. And Agui stood not far away, looking at them, with a relieved smile on his face. This fireworks display is not only Li Yi's deep declaration of love to Lin Yue, but also the beginning of their brand new happy life.
