The besties traveled through the book together, and the prince and general became abandoned husbands

Touching her bulging belly, Xu Junjun saw that Jun Xiaochen and the little emperor were full, so she asked the maids to take the pot away and bring up the fireworks that had been prepared earlier.

At this moment, it was already past midnight.

According to the time, it is now a new year.

Tianqi has the custom of setting off fireworks on New Year's Eve. As soon as midnight arrives, the entire Tianqi Empire starts a grand fireworks feast.

Colorful fireworks exploded in the sky, forming brilliant patterns. The cheers of the people formed waves outside the palace, flowing over the high walls and green tiles of the Regent's Palace and ringing in the ears of the three people.

Just now when they were eating hot pot, Xu Junjun noticed that the little emperor would look up from time to time, and when he saw the beautiful fireworks in the sky, he would pause and take a closer look, and the eagerness in his eyes could not be hidden.

Xu Junjun felt very uncomfortable watching this.

The palace was lonely and the rules were strict. He was just a teenager and was too restricted in the palace. He might not even have the chance to watch a proper fireworks display, let alone set it off himself.

Tonight, she let him release it with his own hands.

Several guards brought the things up and placed them in the courtyard. Xu Junjun stood up and saw that the two people behind him did not move. He made a sound and urged them:

"What are you still sitting there for?

The maids have prepared the fire starters, let's go set off the fireworks."

The little emperor pointed at himself, in disbelief:

"Should I go and release it?"

"If not you, then who?

Do you want to let the ice cube next to you put it there?"

After eating hot pot, Xu Junjun no longer ignored Jun Xiaochen, but when facing him, Xu Junjun still did not look happy.

When she called out to him, Jun Xiaochen raised his eyebrows and looked over. His eyes swept over the fireworks piled in the yard, and then he looked at the little emperor with a look of surprise on his face.

The little emperor had a constant smile on his face tonight. Jun Xiaochen was touched and nodded:

"Go ahead. After the fireworks are finished, I'll take you back to the palace."

"Thank you, Uncle Wang."

The little emperor was overjoyed. He thanked Jun Xiaochen loudly and ran quickly to the courtyard.

After eating hotpot for a while, the fractured shoulder started to hurt again.

The effect of the pain-relieving pill he had just taken gradually wore off. Xu Junjun leaned against the pavilion pillar, enduring the pain and smiling as he watched the little emperor set off fireworks with a fire starter.

Wei Dong had been protecting the little emperor. After the fuse in the little emperor's hand was lit, he immediately protected him and retreated.

As brilliant fireworks shot up into the sky, colorful and beautiful fireworks exploded above the Regent's Palace. The huge explosion attracted the curious eyes of several other ministers' residences on the same street.

They were all curious about why the Regent had changed his personality this year.

The Regent's Palace, which had been deserted for many years, actually arranged to set off fireworks this year.

Could it be because of the strange woman that the Regent brought back?

No matter what everyone speculated, at this moment, Jun Xiaochen's amber eyes reflected the fireworks in the sky, and his heart was calmer than ever before.

For many years, the Regent's Palace has not had such a colorful atmosphere.

This year, because of a woman he had captured and brought to Tianqi, the mansion was filled with laughter and joy, and he felt the lively popularity that had not existed for many years.

Turning to look at Xu Junjun, Jun Xiaochen's eyes were as deep as a pool. Looking at her tightly bandaged shoulder, he suddenly had another plan in his mind.

It took more than half an hour for the little emperor to set off fireworks in the entire courtyard.

The housekeeper followed Xu Junjun's instructions and sent over all the types of fireworks that could be purchased in the Tianqi Imperial Capital.

The original intention was to please Miss Xu and stop her from getting angry with her own prince, but unexpectedly it made the little emperor excited for the whole night.

After the last bunch of fireworks exploded, bloomed, and went out in the sky, the little emperor lowered his head with satisfaction, looked back at the two people standing in the pavilion, and rushed towards Xu Junjun.

Then, like a pure white little beast, he pounced into Xu Junjun's arms, his eyes filled with only joy and clarity:

"Sister Xu, thank you.

As far as I can remember, I have never been as happy as I am today.

From now on, no matter how lonely and cold the palace is, I will always remember everything that happened today, and I will always remember the kindness you and Uncle Wang have shown me."

Xu Junjun felt very sad and raised her hand to touch the top of the boy's head:

"Don't remember, you will have thousands of good days to live in the future.

Moreover, every day will be happier than today.

When my arm is healed, I'll let Jun Xiaochen take you out of the palace, and then I'll take you horse racing outside the imperial capital."

The little emperor blinked his moist eyes and hugged Xu Junjun tightly, feeling awkward and expectant.

"Then I will wait for my sister to recover in the palace. Remember to let my uncle take me out of the palace as soon as I recover."

Before being pushed to the throne by Jun Xiaochen, the little emperor was just a powerful young man who lived in a large family and was brought up as a gentleman.

Although studying and learning to read in the mansion every day was boring, at least I didn't have to worry about my life.

Later, he was swept up in the power of the Tianqi Emperor and was forced to become the emperor at a young age. Instead of a better life, he faced continuous assassinations and plots, as well as the gradual estrangement from his parents and relatives.

He had been afraid and had resisted, but all his attempts were suppressed by the court officials and the king's uncle.

Filled with indignation, he believed the slander and almost harmed his uncle Wang.

Now he has come to his senses, but finds that he has already stepped halfway into the gates of hell.

The little emperor lived for only a dozen years in total, but he experienced many ups and downs.

Now, he does not ask for a long life and eternal power and wealth, but only wants to experience what happiness and joy are in his limited life.

What is it? To be cherished.

The light of Xu Junjun shone into the little emperor's world when he was most desperate, allowing him to experience excitement and joy that was completely different from his previous life. Now in his heart, Xu Junjun is a person who can be compared with Jun Xiaochen.

In some ways, compared to Jun Xiaochen, Xu Junjun, the savior who gave him a new life, has a higher status.

"Okay, when my sister recovers from her injury, I will follow the agreement and take you out of town to play.

It’s getting late now, and you still have to go back to the palace, so I won’t keep you here. We’ll have plenty of opportunities to play together in the future.”

Fearing that the little emperor would feel sad if he stayed any longer, Xu Junjun directly asked him to leave.

Looking at the scene of the two people parting, Jun Xiaochen's heart was twitching. He glanced at the little emperor hugging Xu Junjun's arm tightly and said lightly:

"If we delay any longer, no one will have to go to bed tonight."

The little emperor slowly let go of Xu Junjun, his face showing hesitation, and asked Jun Xiaochen in a muffled voice:

"Uncle Wang, tonight I can..."

"No, let's go."

Knowing what the little emperor wanted to say next, Jun Xiaochen directly refused and took the lead in walking out of the octagonal pavilion.

The little emperor knew that there was no hope at all, so he waved dejectedly at Xu Junjun, turned around and quickly followed the tall and long-legged handsome man in front of him.

The two of them walked away, and the yard, which had been bustling just a moment ago, suddenly became silent.

The servants were cleaning up the mess on the floor left by the fireworks. A cold wind blew, and Xu Junjun felt as if her whole body was soaked in cold water. She felt cold and uncomfortable, so she turned around and hurried back to her room.

Eating hot pot inevitably contaminated the smell of spices on her body. With the help of the maid, Xu Junjun changed into clean underwear, took a pill, and soaked her feet in hot water before going to bed.

I don’t know if it was the effect of the pill, but Xu Junjun slept exceptionally soundly that night.

In her dream, she dreamed that she returned to the Great Sage and met Niao Niao and her chubby son.

With the beautiful setting sun, the two of them brought their little one to eat osmanthus cake and drink osmanthus wine under the swing rack hung with grapes in the autumn, feeling so comfortable.

Everything is so happy and perfect.
