Office worker Chen Jingxi transmigrated to become the timid and weak Princess Consort Su, who had been a living widow for three years.
A living widow, a princess consort? Isn't this the i...
Fireworks continue to bloom here.
With such a big noise and fireworks being a rare sight, it quickly attracted a lot of people.
There were mothers holding their children, pointing at the fireworks in the sky for them to watch. There were fathers holding their children high on their shoulders. There were also couples leaning on each other, and groups of two or three of relatives and friends.
The children cheered excitedly: "Oh, fireworks, Mom, look, they look so good!"
"Daddy, lift me up high."
…
Chen Jingxi and Chu Jinghuai stood on the tower, watching this scene and smiling at each other.
Soon, the patrol battalion, Jingzhao Prefecture, and the imperial guards all rushed over. The higher-ups had already given the order, and they wanted to know who was so reckless as to dare to act rashly in the capital in the middle of the night.
Looking at the crowd gradually gathering around him, Chen Jingxi seemed to realize that things had gotten out of hand. He turned to look at Chu Jinghuai and said, "Your Highness, it seems like we've gotten into quite a bit of trouble this time."
Chu Jinghuai smiled, "Is the princess afraid?"
"I'm afraid of banana and pineapple rice bowl. If I dare to order it, I will admit it."
Chu Jinghuai stretched out his hand, "Let's go down."
Soldiers from various government offices quickly surrounded the crowd. The leading imperial guard commander shouted, "Who the hell are you? How dare you set off fireworks here? If you want to die, just tell me. I'll give you a quick death!"
His voice was like thunder, shaking the hearts of those around him.
The deputy commander of the patrol battalion also started cursing. His face was furious, spit flying as he said, "It's late at night, you're really asking for a beating! I want to see which bastard dares to cause trouble in the capital!"
The sound of fireworks stopped abruptly, and in the silence, a voice suddenly rang out: "Your Majesty, it seems that you and I will both die tonight."
"I want to see who wants to take our lives." As the words fell, the two of them slowly walked out of the crowd.
The commander of the Imperial Guards and the deputy commander of the patrol battalion were both stunned, then quickly knelt and saluted, "Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Su and His Royal Highness Princess! I didn't realize you were here, and I apologize for any offense. I hope Your Highness will forgive me!"
When the people around heard this, they all knelt down and paid homage.
Chen Jingxi raised the corners of her mouth slightly, stepped forward, and said in a loud voice: "Everyone, please stand up. These fireworks were set off by me, the princess. The reason is simple. Today is the prince's birthday. I just wanted to have fun, but I didn't expect to startle so many people. This is my fault. You are ordered to come and arrest him, and I will accompany you."
Now the commander of the Imperial Guards, the patrol battalion, and the Jingzhao Prefecture were at a loss, and no one dared to actually arrest anyone. It was easier to invite a deity than to send him away. If they offended Prince Su, they would die without knowing how.
The commander of the imperial guards was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, Princess, I will return to the palace to report your order and will go ahead."
The official from Jingzhao Prefecture also said, "I'll take my leave as well." He bowed hastily and left the scene quickly.
The deputy commander of the patrol battalion was left standing there in a daze, watching the two groups on his left and right walk away, leaving the trouble to him. He cursed them in his heart, but he didn't dare to get angry. He could only bite the bullet and stay to deal with the aftermath.
Chu Jinghuai smiled and looked at the deputy commander of the patrol battalion. His tone was gentle but with a hint of authority. "General Tian, are you staying here to congratulate me on my birthday?"
Upon hearing this, Deputy General Tian hurriedly bowed and said, "I wish His Majesty a long and healthy life."
Seeing this, everyone followed suit and congratulated him: "May His Royal Highness Prince Su live a long and healthy life."
Chen Jingxi looked at Chu Jinghuai with a smile on her face: "Your Highness, are you happy that so many people are celebrating your birthday this year?"
"happy."
Chen Jingxi turned to look at Wu Kuan, "Butler Wu, today is the prince's birthday, it's a great day. Let's set off all the remaining fireworks so that everyone can share in the prince's joy."
"Yes, Princess." Manager Wu touched the corner of his eyes excitedly. For so many years, not only had the prince not celebrated his birthday, but he was also criticized as an unlucky star, and even this day was regarded as an ominous sign.
Now the princess says this is a great day, and yes, it is indeed a great day.
After saying this, he quickly arranged for people to light the remaining fireworks one by one. The night sky was once again filled with colorful fireworks.
——
The commander of the imperial guards hurried back to the palace. Just as he was about to report to the emperor that the person who set off the fireworks had been captured by the patrol battalion and the fireworks had been extinguished, he did not expect that there was another loud bang outside the palace. With a "bang", the fireworks bloomed in the night sky again.
The emperor was furious when he heard this and slammed the table and stood up: "Where is that person? Who is this bastard? Take him away and chop him off!"
Upon hearing this, the commander of the imperial guards felt a pang of anxiety, nearly bursting into tears. He replied in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, it's... it's His Royal Highness Prince Su."
"Rebellious son, rebellious son!" Upon hearing this, the emperor was so angry that he covered his chest and his face turned ashen.
Vice Admiral Tian watched the fireworks explode one after another, his face flushed red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple...
At this time, Chu Jinghuai noticed a hint of fatigue on Chen Jingxi's face.
"Are you tired? Let's go back and rest."
Chen Jingxi nodded, and Chu Jinghuai supported her and left together. Their figures gradually walked away and disappeared into the night.
