Xie Yiyao finished eating the roast chicken happily. She felt that she had regained all her energy. She was about to pick up her copy of "Taiyuan Talisman Records" to fight for three hundred rounds, but was stopped by Feng Junyi.

"Alright! You've been in this secret place for two days. It's time to get some fresh air. Today is the Lantern Festival. I'll take you for a walk!"

Feng Junyi pulled Xie Yiyao out of the secret realm after he finished speaking. Xie Yiyao didn't want to go and couldn't help but yelled:

"I won't go! I still have to draw the talisman! I don't believe I can't draw it well!"

Feng Junyi got two masks from somewhere at this time, one for himself and one for Xie Yiyao.

"Stop painting and go out and have some fun! The Lantern Festival is quite lively. I heard that the people are preparing something even more lively this year. Don't you want to take a look?"

Xie Yiyao was a little hesitant after hearing this. She really wanted to go. In the past, she would pester Xie Yichen to go out and have fun every Lantern Festival. It was just that she was a little busy in the past two years and she forgot about the Lantern Festival.

Just when Xie Yiyao was hesitating, Feng Junyi directly pulled Xie Yiyao out.

"Hey hey!"

Xie Yiyao was led out of the palace by Feng Junyi, shouting all the way.

After leaving the palace, Xie Yiyao stopped shouting. She was instantly attracted by the lights and decorations. This year's Lantern Festival was the most lively one since she came to Dadeng.

The streets and alleys are full of lanterns, incense smoke, colorful flower shadows, lights everywhere, and the sound of soft music from time to time.

There were also street performers setting off fireworks, which drew cheers from the onlookers, making the world look as dazzling as colorful glass.

Xie Yiyao looked at a handsome man and beautiful woman standing by a stall selling headwear not far away, and the corners of her mouth twitched involuntarily.

Oh, it’s her cheap dad who always shows off his love for her and her crybaby mom!

Xie Tingzhou was smiling as he was inserting a hairpin into the hairpin for Gu Yingxue beside him. Gu Yingxue looked at Xie Tingzhou shyly, with two blushes on her cheeks. The blush spread from her cheeks to the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, which made Xie Tingzhou stare at her.

Xie Yiyao's heart skipped a beat for unknown reason. For some reason, she suddenly turned her head to look at Feng Junyi beside her.

Seeing that he was looking at her with a look that she couldn't explain, she inexplicably blushed and her heart beat fast.

She suddenly broke free from Feng Junyi's hand and ran quickly to a stall selling lanterns, pretending to be attracted by the various lanterns.

Feng Junyi looked at Xie Yiyao who ran away in panic, smiled helplessly, and followed her.

Xie Yiyao picked up a little rabbit lantern and prepared to go look for her adoptive parents, but when she turned around, they were gone.

"I saw my father-in-law and mother-in-law walking towards the direction of the lanterns. Should we go find them?"

Feng Junyi reminded upon seeing this.

Xie Yiyao shook her head. It was really annoying to see the two of them being so affectionate all day long. She decided not to go look for them.

It saves their cheap dad from feeling like he’s disturbing their sweet little world of two!

"I heard that your sister is very successful now!"

A girl's voice was heard with a hint of sarcasm. Xie Yiyao felt the voice was familiar, so she turned around and looked.

She happened to see Xie Jinyue and Zhou Nian'an walking towards her. She also recognized the person who was talking as Song Nanzhu, whom she had gone to Yongchang Marquis Mansion with Xie Jinyue to look for before.

"What's so glorious about this? A woman who fools around with a bunch of men all day long, some wealthy family will marry such a woman as their mistress in the future."

Zhou Nian'an's face was full of jealousy, but his voice was filled with contempt.

Xie Yiyao found it a little funny. They were the ones who looked down on Zhou Nianchu. Who was it that wanted to take the exam to become a female official in the Ministry of Finance but was rejected by them?

"If you ask me, the Queen really doesn't give you any face at all. After all, you are her sister, and she doesn't even help you at all?"

Su Shuyue looked at Xie Jinyue with some confusion. Even she knew that only when the mother's family was strong could a woman gain a foothold in her husband's family.

No matter how dissatisfied Xie Yiyao is with Xie Jinyue, she has to consider the overall situation. What's more, she is marrying the emperor, who will have many concubines in the future. Without the support of a strong maternal family, she may not have the last laugh even if she is the queen.

Moreover, noble ladies like them naturally put family first in everything, and personal grudges must be put aside in the face of major issues!

As the current queen, Xie Yiyao should be more aware of this!

"Humph! She doesn't have the blood of our Xie family, so naturally she won't take the honor of the Xie family seriously. It's a pity that my uncle treated her and her son with all his heart!"

Xie Jinyue said angrily, the silk handkerchief in her hand was almost torn to pieces. She never expected that Xie Yiyao would eliminate her.

She thought that no matter how willful Xie Yiyao was, she would be more restrained in the face of family interests. It was so abominable that she had no concept of family honor at all!

As they were talking excitedly, Zhou Nianchu hurried over with a lantern in his hand, followed by several young men from wealthy and noble families.

"Miss Zhou, wait for me!"

"Miss Zhou, do you like this lantern?"

"Miss Zhou, this is what I bought for you..."

Xie Jinyue, Zhou Nian'an and others stared at this scene in amazement. After a long while, Song Nanzhu said blankly:

"This world is really messed up!"

Su Shuyue also had an expression as if she had been struck by lightning:

"Yes, we women who strictly abide by women's virtues are actually no match for Zhou Nianchu, a frivolous woman who does not follow the ancestral etiquette and shows up in public all day long!"

"If I'm not mistaken, that's the Prince of Runan!"

"And there is also the eldest grandson of Duke Anguo!"

Zhou Nianchu looked at the son of the Marquis of Zhenbei, whom she had admired for a long time, and actually followed behind her and showed her courtesy. She could not hold it in any longer and stomped her feet, covering her face and ran away crying!

Xie Yiyao watched such a good show for no apparent reason and was immediately delighted. She looked at Feng Junyi with a smug look on her face:

"How is it? I'm awesome, right? You should recruit more female officials in the future. The status of women needs to be higher!"

Feng Junyi also smiled brightly after hearing this: "Okay!"

"Feng Junyi's mortal world is also very fascinating."

Xie Yiyao looked at the bustling streets and the pedestrians coming and going with laughter and joy, and suddenly sighed to him.

Feng Junyi was about to respond when Xie Yiyao said:

"Alright! I'm going to go back and draw talismans! I want to make this world like before with four distinct seasons, birds singing and flowers blooming!"

After saying that, Xie Yiyao turned around and prepared to return to the palace, but was grabbed back by Feng Junyi!

"Since we're out now, we might as well go shopping. I heard that the merchants in Yanjing have jointly organized a fireworks show. It's quite grand. Let's go and take a look!"

"Fireworks display?"

Xie Yiyao was immediately interested. She had only seen fireworks shows on the computer and had never seen one in person.

So she immediately threw away the idea of ​​going back to draw talismans, and happily followed Feng Junyi to watch the fireworks show.

As soon as they arrived at the place where the fireworks show was being watched, they saw Xie Tingzhou and Gu Yingxue in the huge crowd. It was not for any other reason, but because the two of them were so handsome and beautiful that they could be spotted at a glance even in the crowd!

Seeing how loving and sweet they were, Xie Yiyao quickly pulled Feng Junyi away from them!

"Girl!"

Xie Tingzhou spotted Xie Yiyao and shouted to her loudly. Gu Yingxue also turned to look at her and motioned her to come over.

Xie Yiyao had no choice but to pull Feng Junyi in front of the two of them.

"Father, mother."

Xie Yiyao bowed sullenly, like a child with an unhappy face after being caught by his parents while playing outside.

Gu Yingxue obviously didn't notice her displeasure, and pulled her to her side with excitement, and whispered excitedly: "Yao'er, I have already formed a pill."

"Oh."

Xie Yiyao didn't take it seriously and replied perfunctorily. Then she widened her eyes in shock and looked at Gu Yingxue in disbelief:

"What did you get married?!"
