Yinyin appeased Yu Miaoqi and Zhan Zheng with unconventional reasons, and in the end, they spent New Year's Eve happily.

Because Yin Yin is getting married after the New Year, Yu Miaoqi is paying extra attention to this Lantern Festival.

But compared to the wide variety of new clothes, Yin Yin still chose the top made of moon-flower silk.

In previous years, she would choose lanterns at the lantern festival, but this time, Yinyin painted a golden crow lantern by hand.

Just as the lanterns were finished, Zhan Zheng returned from outside and saw them, saying he wanted one with the Black Tortoise design. Yin Yin then painted one for him. After counting, she saw there were still blank lanterns left, so she painted a nine-tailed fox, a longevity lantern, a bluebird, and two cute "big cat" lanterns with the character "王" (king).

The "Big Cat" is for my nephew and niece, the Bluebird is for Wang Yingqing, and the Blessing and Longevity is for Yu Miaoqi. As for the remaining two cups, there's no need to mention them again.

Zhan Zheng came over and saw the lamp with the nine-tailed fox pattern, and snorted.

Wang Yingqing glanced at him but didn't say anything. She just admired the lantern that Yinyin had prepared for her and the children with great affection: "My sister is so skillful. I couldn't have drawn such a beautiful lantern."

"As long as my sister-in-law is happy."

“No, I can’t take my sister’s lantern for nothing,” Wang Yingqing said reluctantly, turning around and asking someone to pick out a box of pearls from her storeroom. “My maternal grandparents sent these to me. They are all the best pearls that were recently harvested. My sister can grind them into pearl powder or have them made into hair ornaments whenever she wants.”

“I traded a lantern for such precious pearls for you, sister-in-law. You’re really losing out,” Yin Yin said with a smile. “I won’t let you suffer a loss for nothing. I know you have other good things. Tomorrow I’ll coax you to bring them out and make you a new set of jewelry.”

“I’m right here, is it appropriate for you to say such things in front of me?” Now that his younger sister is older, Zhan Zheng couldn’t very well hit her on the head again, so he could only shake his head and say to Wang Yingqing, “We’ve already had someone draw out new patterns. Tomorrow you can choose one and have someone make it according to your preferred style.”

Wang Yingqing was naturally happy to receive a new set of jewelry.

Zhan Zheng withdrew his gaze and returned it to the lantern in his hand. He looked at the Xuanwu on it and liked it more and more: "Yinyin's painting is getting better and better. There are so many similar paintings outside, but none of them are as lifelike as Yinyin's. I like it very much."

It would be strange if you didn't like it. This Xuanwu was drawn based on the appearance of Zhan Zheng's condensed fortune.

However, Yin Yin still modestly said, "In my brother's eyes, I am perfect in every way."

Zhan Zheng felt wronged: "I was clearly telling the truth. If you don't believe me, ask your mother."

Zhan Zheng thought Yin Yin was good in every way, and Yu Miaoqi was naturally the same way, so asking Yu Miaoqi wouldn't really be of much use. Because at this moment, Yu Miaoqi was still happily admiring her own lantern painted with the words "May you have endless blessings and longevity."

However, Wang Yingqing, who was standing to the side, spoke up fairly: "This is really not a case of a good man coaxing his sister; the sister's drawing is just beautiful."

Yinyin pretended to be shy and half-covered her face: "If my brother and sister-in-law like it, then my efforts weren't in vain."

After a while of laughter and joking, someone came back and said that Prince Ning'an was already waiting outside the mansion gate.

Zhan Zheng shrugged without any regard for his image, not wanting anyone to take the Nine-Tailed Fox Lamp out, but could only watch as Yin Yin personally handed the Nine-Tailed Fox Lamp to Prince Ning'an.

Prince Ning'an, carrying the nine-tailed fox lantern, couldn't help but steal a glance at Yin Yin.

Several years have passed, and Yinyin has grown even more since the lantern festival that year. Her original childishness has completely faded, and she has become generous and cheerful.

Now, when Yin Yin goes out to visit guests, many ladies nod in approval, and many young men from noble families secretly regret not having noticed her before, thus missing out on such a fine woman.

Yu Miaoqi went to the restaurant as usual. Zhan Zheng originally wanted to make a super bright candle, but Yu Miaoqi kept him there for a while, so he could only watch as Yin Yin followed Prince Ning'an out first.

Yinyin and Prince Ning'an strolled around the lantern market, buying some impractical but atmospheric items before slowly making their way towards the Jade Bridge.

The tenth princess was still waiting here. However, she was engaged to her cousin from her maternal family, so there was another person with her.

Seeing Yinyin approach, she stepped forward and took Yinyin's hand: "Yinyin, you've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you for quite a while."

As soon as she said this, Prince Ning'an chimed in, "Come on, we just saw you at the lantern market. You just got here a little earlier than us."

"That's still earlier than you guys!" The Tenth Princess raised her chin, then turned to coax Yin Yin, "Yin Yin, call me 'Tenth Sister' a few more times so I can hear you do it. In a few more days, I won't like hearing you call me that anymore."

“What tenth sister?” Prince Ning’an said unhappily. “His Majesty has already issued an imperial decree. You should be calling her sixth sister-in-law.”

The tenth princess immediately retorted, "We're not married yet, so Yinyin and I can call each other whatever we want. It's none of your business."

The tenth princess's fiancé didn't get involved at all, just smiled and watched the tenth princess.

Yinyin tugged at the Tenth Princess: "Tenth Sister, I think it's about to start over there, we need to hurry over there."

The tenth princess immediately beamed with joy, glanced triumphantly at Prince Ning'an, and left with Yin Yin.

Further on, the crowds surged, and the moonlight flowed.

Holding the Golden Crow Lantern, Yin Yin gazed at Prince Ning'an from afar.

In her gentle laughter and smile, it was as if time had turned back.
