Duanmu Yao's words instantly made Xuanyuan Xi blush. He looked up and glared at Duanmu Yao, "Why do you, a little kid, have to worry about so much?"
Duanmu Yao knew exactly what he was thinking. He clearly had feelings for Sister Xiyue, so why hadn't he managed to win her over yet?
She seems like a very intelligent person, so why is she so cowardly when it comes to relationships!
"Let's drink." Huangfu Jue raised the wine jar to Xuanyuan Xi.
Xuanyuan Xi also raised the wine jar towards Huangfu Jue, and the two of them took a sip of wine from the jar.
When Xuan Yuanxi was drinking, he thought of Leng Xiyue. He had already sent her a message. She should know that today was his coming-of-age ceremony. Would she come to see him tonight?
Xuanyuan Xi took a big gulp of wine, his mind preoccupied. Duanmu Yao then clinked the wine jar against his: "Congratulations, brother, on your imminent ascension to the throne!"
As Duanmu Yao spoke, she pulled Huangfu Jue along, saying, "Brother Jue, let's congratulate him together and offer him a toast!"
Huangfu Jue and Xuanyuan Xi were both amused and exasperated by Duanmu Yao, and they drank the wine with doting affection.
So Xuanyuan Xi was toasted by Huangfu Jue and Duanmu Yao one after another, and soon the whole jar of wine was finished.
"Today is my brother's big day. It's rare to be so happy. We must drink to our hearts' content. I'll go get some more wine." Duanmu Yao stood up, swaying as she spoke, and headed to the cellar to find some wine.
Seeing that she was quite drunk, Huangfu Jue was not comfortable letting her go to get the wine alone, so he quickly went with her.
With Huangfu Jue accompanying her, Xuan Yuanxi felt quite at ease.
Just as Xuanyuan Xi was waiting for Duanmu Yao's wine, she suddenly sensed something and immediately looked excitedly in a certain direction.
The figure that had been lurking in the shadows seemed to realize that Xuan Yuanxi had noticed her, and leaped away.
Xuan Yuanxi felt anxious and immediately chased after him.
He chased after her all the way to the highest tower in the palace. When Xuan Yuanxi saw the woman in red standing on the city wall in the distance, his eyes softened.
She did indeed come.
The guards on the city wall were quite startled by Leng Xiyue's sudden appearance, especially since Leng Xiyue seemed to be floating on the city wall. Under the beautiful full moon, she was dressed in red, her figure was light and graceful, and her appearance was stunning, as beautiful as a fairy under the moon.
Not only were the guards mesmerized, but even Xuan Yuanxi was captivated and infatuated.
He had seen her just a few months ago, but it felt like decades had passed since he last saw her.
At twenty, she had fully blossomed and her beauty had become even more captivating.
Leng Xiyue didn't move or speak. She just stood on the city wall, at the highest point of the palace, staring at Xuan Yuanxi without blinking.
After a long while, the guards finally came to their senses and immediately looked at Leng Xiyue and shouted, "Who are you? How dare you trespass on the Eastern Chu Imperial Palace!"
Is this woman a fairy or a demon? Standing on this city tower, isn't she afraid of slipping and falling?
Falling from such a tall city wall would surely mean certain death!
Unaware of Leng Xiyue's identity, the guards instinctively reached out to grab her.
"Stop!" Xuan Yuanxi didn't want them to scare away the person he had finally waited for, so he shouted sharply to stop them from going forward: "She is my junior sister, all of you step back."
If Xuanyuan Xi hadn't spoken, the guards wouldn't have known when His Highness the Crown Prince had appeared here.
What they didn't expect was that the woman in front of them, who was so beautiful she seemed otherworldly, was actually the Crown Prince's junior sister.
Since this beauty was His Highness the Crown Prince's junior sister, they naturally dared not drive her away any further and all withdrew.
After the guards withdrew, Xuan Yuanxi stepped forward, walked to the foot of the city wall, and reached out his hand to Leng Xiyue.
Leng Xiyue smiled and offered him her hand.
Leng Xiyue had no idea that her smile had completely captivated Xuan Yuanxi.
Xuanyuan Xi stared at Leng Xiyue for a long while without pulling her down.
Leng Xiyue, however, grew impatient and pulled Xuan Yuanxi directly onto the city wall.
Without warning, Xuan Yuanxi found herself on the city wall and nearly fell off.
Fortunately, Leng Xiyue reacted quickly, saving the day by grabbing Xuan Yuanxi's waist and pulling him into her arms with a beautiful and graceful turn.
Realizing the foolish things she had done in front of her, Xuan Yuanxi blushed deeply.
Leng Xiyue didn't notice Xuan Yuanxi's discomfort and pulled him to sit on the city wall: "Happy birthday, Xuan Yuanxi!"
Leng Xiyue smiled and congratulated Xuan Yuanxi.
Xuanyuan Xi couldn't help but smile.
There is no more beautiful word than this in the world.
He knew she remembered his birthday, and sure enough, she came tonight.
Leng Xiyue looked at Xuan Yuanxi with a touch of affection in her eyes. After all, he was a little kid she had watched grow up. Now that she looked at him like this, she felt a sense of accomplishment, like a son finally growing up.
"I have a gift for you!" Leng Xiyue reached out and launched a signal flare into the air.
Before Xuan Yuanxi could even wonder what gift Leng Xiyue was going to give him, countless fireworks shot into the sky, blooming with all sorts of dazzling colors and patterns under the huge black curtain.
Fireworks!
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh..." One after another, dazzling fireworks soared into the sky, displaying their brilliance.
Xuanyuan Xi and Leng Xiyue sat side by side on the city tower, watching the enormous fireworks show together.
Not only were the two of them attracted, but the guards behind them were also drawn to the fireworks display, as were the civil and military officials and imperial relatives who were still feasting at Yaochi Palace. Everyone came out to watch the fireworks.
"It's so beautiful!"
"Yes, the fireworks were beautiful!"
"What is that? A fire phoenix? It looks just like a real phoenix, it's so beautiful!"
"I've never seen such beautiful fireworks in all my life!"
Looking at the lavish fireworks display, Su Xuening asked Xuan Yuanzhan curiously, "You've also prepared a fireworks show?"
Xuan Yuanzhan curled his lip, completely unconcerned: "What's with all the fireworks for that brat's coming-of-age ceremony? It's not like Little Star is getting married!"
...Su Xuening glanced at Xuan Yuanzhan speechlessly.
She was waiting to see what he would do; on the day Yao'er and Jue'er got married, he was still in the mood to set off fireworks!
They probably won't even have time to cry!
Bai Fuya glanced at You Yi and asked silently: Is that girl here?
Youyi raised an eyebrow: I guess so.
Bai Fuya gave a helpless, bitter smile.
That girl is probably just trying to coax a child, why is she putting on a fireworks show!
But it really looks good!
I don't know where she got the ability to get so many beautiful fireworks and such a big fireworks show. It's much better than the ones the palace usually puts on!
Not far away, Duanmu Yao and Huangfu Jue came out carrying wine jars. They were also attracted by the dazzling fireworks in the sky and couldn't help but stop to admire them.
