"I specially sought this out, and tonight I'll let you see as much as you want."
He had been preparing for this fireworks show for a long time.
In front of her, Xiao Ziwu never used the title of emperor, as if the two were just an ordinary couple from the common people, rather than an emperor and empress revered by all.
The man's doting voice rang in her ears, so Tianyun stopped worrying. She smiled softly and nestled comfortably into his warm embrace.
The two seemed to ride the night wind, finally landing on the highest platform in the Forbidden City, where a black plaque bore the three large, gold-plated characters "Star Gazing Platform".
The chilly night wind was completely blocked by the man's warm body, and the two had just sat down—
Not far away, dazzling fireworks exploded against the silvery-black sky, with sparks of light leaping and flashing, turning the entire night sky a brilliant red, the magnificent fireworks dazzling and eye-catching.
The glittering stars seemed to dance along with it.
A thousand rays of light converged into a single point, finally settling in the woman's eyes, which shone like stars.
She raised her hand and gently touched her chest, where her rapidly beating heart seemed to be blooming along with the fireworks.
Fireworks illuminated half the sky and half of the woman's face. Xiao Ziwu gazed at her quietly, his expression full of love.
A happy smile gently curved the corners of his mouth.

The deafening roar of the fireworks explosions echoed in her ears, but Tianyun couldn't hear them clearly. She turned her body slightly to the side, her small earlobe getting closer to him, but she only felt the man's cool lips on her cheek.
Many palace maids were awakened by the loud noise. They thought that the rebel army had once again invaded the capital. Terrified, they ran out of their rooms in disheveled clothes.
But then I saw fireworks filling the sky...
Chao Wen said with some resentment, "To be able to set off fireworks within the palace grounds, and on such a grand scale, only His Majesty could manage that, right?"
Such extravagance and waste must be for that future First Lady...
"That must be it. Who else but His Majesty would dare to act so ostentatiously?" The maidservant in the same room didn't get along with her. Upon hearing Chao Wen's sour words, she immediately looked at her with a mocking smile: "I'm afraid it's just to win a smile from the beauty again!"
