With a warehouse full of supplies, I stood alone as king in this chaotic world, gun in hand.

"Yu'er, all of you put on your clothes first." Empress Wan was afraid that the children would get cold, so she took out fur robes and put them on, and put on hoods.

It's quite windy up to the fifth floor; you'd have to wear something thicker if you're standing in front of the window.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Brilliant fireworks streaked across the night sky, blooming and adorning it with unparalleled beauty.

"What beautiful fireworks!" Nangong Xi jumped up and down happily.

"Grandmother, look! Father, Mother, come and see! There are so many stars!" Nangong Jue excitedly pointed to the colorful fireworks in the sky.

Emperor Nanqi was surprised to see the magnificent fireworks filling the sky. "Your Highness," he said, "this year's fireworks are indeed more beautiful than in previous years. Did you hire some master craftsman to create them?"

"Father, to be honest, these fireworks were brought by Wuwu," Bei Chenyan told him truthfully.

"So it was brought by the princess. No wonder. I shall have a good look at it then." Emperor Nanqi stood up and said to Huo Jing:

"Your Highness, this is the first time I've ever seen such beautiful fireworks. Why don't you join me in watching them?"

"This is a rare spectacle of fireworks, and I, Huo, am willing to accompany Your Majesty to watch it." Huo Jing also stood up.

Eunuch Yu immediately took a thick cloak and draped it over Emperor Nanqi, saying, "Your Majesty, be careful, it's windy by the window."

"Father, the night wind is a bit strong, please put on a coat." Nangong Wu took out a cloak from her spatial storage and draped it over her father.

"Grandfather, Grandfather, come and see the fireworks!" Nangong Jue was afraid that Emperor Nanqi and Huo Jing would miss the fireworks, so he ran over to pull them.

"Great! Let's go see the fireworks, hahaha..."

The Emperor, Empress, and Huo Jing stood with the three children by the window, watching fireworks explode in the sky like shattered gold, their orange-red light shining down and illuminating their smiling faces.

"Wuwu, I'm cold too," Bei Chenyan whispered in Nangong Wu's ear.

Nangong Wu glanced at him; this guy was only wearing two thin layers of clothing. "Why are you dressed so lightly?"

"This is how I usually dress," Bei Chenyan said, shrugging.

Nangong Wu remembered that there seemed to be some of his clothes in her spatial storage, so she scanned the room where he had stayed and took out a mink cloak for him. "Put this on!"

The coldest temperature in Nanqi Kingdom is only five or six degrees Celsius, and the cold period is short, so very few people wear such thick cloaks.

This guy stayed in the Western Yan Kingdom for several years and often went on long trips with her. He kept almost all his warm clothes in her space.

"Wuwu, you bought this cloak for me, it's made of the finest mink fur." ​​Bei Chenyan stroked the mink fur of the cloak.

"If we stand there any longer, we won't be able to see any fireworks." Nangong Wu also took a cloak and put it on.

My father's shop imports a batch of good fox and mink furs every year, so I made one for him.

"Let's look this way." Bei Chenyan pulled her to the side and opened another window.

"Bang—bang—bang—"

One explosion after another rang out in the sky.

The two looked up and saw fireworks streaming down the sky, each one exploding into a sky full of stars, a sight of unbelievable beauty.

"Wuwu, thank you for giving the entire Jade Dragon City a grand fireworks display." Bei Chenyan's voice rang in her ears.

"Let's just add to the beauty!" Nangong Wu said calmly.

Bei Chenyan held her in his arms, and the two of them admired the beautiful scenery outside. Below was a bustling scene of the imperial city, and in the sky were blooming, dazzling fireworks, which were simply breathtaking.

"Wuwu, thank you for helping me clean up the court and bringing peace and prosperity to our Southern Qi Kingdom."

The Wan family, the biggest corrupt officials in the court, were all eliminated. Prince Jing was deposed, and the emperor's other sons were banished to their fiefdoms. The court was thoroughly cleansed, and there would be no more factional strife.

"Actually, you've helped me a lot too." Nangong Wu leaned against him, her nose surrounded by his pleasant scent.

Since their fates became intertwined, she seems less averse to this man getting close.

"You are my wife and children, and your affairs are my affairs. It's just a pity that I met you too late, leaving you to endure so much suffering alone. In the end, it was you who helped me clean up the court." Bei Chenyan gently rubbed his chin against the top of her head.

"That's all in the past. Tonight is New Year's Eve, a time for family reunion. Let's not talk about those unhappy things," Nangong Wu said.

"Okay, we'll just watch fireworks tonight." Bei Chenyan hugged her tightly.

"This year's fireworks are truly magnificent. As expected of Princess Runing's creation, they are truly extraordinary!" Emperor Nanqi exclaimed, admiring the fireworks that resembled a sky full of stars.

"Bang!" Another firework exploded, dazzling and spectacular.

Suddenly, four large characters appeared in the sky: "Farewell to the Old Year, Welcome the New Year".

"Excellent!" Emperor Nanqi looked up at the four large characters and exclaimed in admiration, "Amazing! Absolutely divine!"

Then, with another "bang!", the words "Happy New Year" appeared in the night sky again.

"Your Majesty, this is truly amazing!" Empress Wan exclaimed in amazement.

Then, on the third one, the four large characters "Gong He Xin Chun" (Wishing you a Happy New Year) appeared.

"Beautiful! So pretty!"

Nangong Jue and Nangong Xi clapped their hands with delight.

This miraculous sight not only stunned Emperor Nanqi and Empress Wan, but also shocked the entire population of Yulong City, who exclaimed in amazement.

Emperor Nanqi and Empress Wan looked down at Yulong City. Red lanterns hung in front of every household, and the streets were full of pedestrians. Because of the fireworks, everyone stopped and looked up to watch, and exclamations and laughter could be heard from time to time. It was a scene of prosperity.

"Ten thousand lights, like a galaxy poured down upon the earth," Empress Wan exclaimed with emotion.

"Good! The Empress's poem is so fitting, hahaha..." Emperor Nanqi laughed loudly.

"What a masterpiece! Your Majesty the Empress truly deserves to be called a talented woman." Huo Jing also praised.

From the air, the lights of thousands of homes do indeed resemble twinkling stars on earth.

Bei Chenyan and Nangong Wu exchanged a glance, then both laughed.

The fireworks display lasted for more than 25 minutes before ending, but the people in the city were still not satisfied.

The food and drinks on the tables upstairs have been removed and replaced with tea and fruit.

"Your Majesty, it's windy outside the window, let's come in and sit down!" Emperor Nanqi helped Empress Wan back.

"Let's go sit down too!" Bei Chenyan closed both windows, immediately blocking the wind from outside.

"Daddy, Mommy, the fireworks are so beautiful, I want to see more!" Nangong Xi felt she hadn't seen enough and ran over to pull Bei Chenyan and Nangong Wu's hands.

"That's all for tonight. We'll release more when we return to Runing City tomorrow." Nangong Wu pulled her daughter over to sit down.

Upon hearing that they could watch it again tomorrow, Nangong Xi immediately perked up again, "Okay, then let's watch it again when we get back to Runing City."

Bei Chenyan sat down beside them and stroked his daughter's soft hair. "Father, Mother, I would like to accompany the children to Runan City tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, the group of people were all taken aback.

"Your Highness, Runan City is in chaos right now. There isn't even a decent house. Besides, you haven't been back to Nanqi for the New Year for many years. This year, you should spend the New Year with His Majesty and the Empress," Huo Jing advised him.
