A five-year-old goddess, raised to become an emperor for all time through a bronze mirror.

It turns out that all of this was a surprise created by Nian Nian.

She put in a tremendous amount of effort to successfully create this unique fireworks extravaganza!

During the process, she almost burned off her beautiful, jet-black hair...

At this moment, dazzling fireworks continuously bloomed in the sky, their colorful light reflecting on Nian Nian's delicate and lovely face.

This made her already bright and beautiful eyes shine even brighter, as radiant as the twinkling stars in the night sky.

Pei Yunjing gazed quietly at Nian Nian before him, captivated by her innocent smile and lively eyes, momentarily lost in thought.

He felt as if his heart had been suddenly struck by something, and it jolted violently, causing his heartbeat to slow down involuntarily.

Looking at Nian Nian tonight, she is wearing a pink dress, the soft skirt swaying gently in the breeze, like a fairy dancing gracefully.

The pink and white headband on her head added a touch of playfulness and sweetness, perfectly highlighting her youthful and lively image.

"Brother Yun Jing, I wish you peace and a long life!"

Niannian spoke again, her melodious voice, like a silver bell, resounding in Pei Yunjing's heart along with the dazzling fireworks.

At this moment, Pei Yunjing felt that the girl in front of him was so beautiful that he could hardly look away.

He stood frozen in place, as if under a spell, his eyes fixed straight ahead, muttering involuntarily:

"What a nice view......"

"what?"

Niannian heard his whisper and turned her head curiously, her big, watery eyes blinking.

With her cute little head tilted to the side, her face was full of confusion and bewilderment, as if a big question mark was hanging there.

At this moment, the fireworks behind her were still blooming brilliantly in the night sky, crackling and popping, their colorful lights illuminating the entire horizon and making the surroundings look like a dream.

However, the lively scene did not distract Niannian at all, because she was preoccupied with what Pei Yunjing had just said.

Pei Yunjing seemed to realize that he had lost his composure, and quickly looked away, his eyes darting nervously into the air, not daring to meet Nian Nian's gaze.

His peripheral vision unconsciously swept to one side, as if trying to avoid her clear yet inquisitive gaze.

Then, he took a deep breath, trying to make his voice sound calm, and said softly:

"N-nothing...thank you, Nian Nian!"

However, perhaps because he was too excited, his voice became very soft and low, like the buzzing of a mosquito, almost drowned out by the surrounding noise.

Niannian didn't hear what he said clearly. She frowned slightly and subconsciously took a step forward.

Instantly, a sweet fragrance, like that of spring flowers, wafted over, and Pei Yunjing felt his heart beat faster and his breathing become rapid.

"What did you say, Brother Yun Jing?"

Niannian blinked her eyes, her pretty little face just inches away from Pei Yunjing's. Her soft, sweet voice seemed to possess a certain magic, drilling straight into his heart.

Pei Yunjing's cheeks flushed instantly. He lowered his head slightly, avoiding Nian Nian's burning gaze, and repeated in a slightly louder voice:

"I said, thank you, Niannian!"

This time, although his voice was still not loud, it was at least clear and understandable.

Finally, after hearing the words clearly, Nian Nian smiled brightly, like the most dazzling star in the night sky.

Her bright eyes curved into crescent shapes as she happily replied:

"You're welcome, we're all family!"

Indeed, over the past few years, Consort De has always shown great care for Nian Nian, treating her as her own daughter.

Whether it's precious jewelry or delicious food and snacks, as long as there are good things, Consort De will always think of Niannian first and send them to her without hesitation.

Because of this, Nian Nian had no worries about food and clothing in the palace and lived a carefree life.

Moreover, not only that, even the Wan Yao Tang that her mother left behind has now been transferred to Consort De's own name.

Suddenly, it was as if a bolt of lightning struck Pei Yunjing's mind, instantly illuminating the past buried deep in his memory—the childhood betrothal arranged five years ago.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally couldn't help but tentatively ask, "Niannian, I wonder if you still remember the betrothal we arranged back then?"

Upon hearing this, Niannian's originally bright, star-like eyes dimmed slightly, but only for a moment, before shining brightly again like dazzling fireworks in the night sky.

She pursed her lips slightly and replied softly, "Of course I remember, Brother Yun Jing."

My father once told me that this was merely to dispel Pei Huai-ren's ill intentions towards me; could there be some other deeper meaning?

So much time has passed, why is Brother Yun Jing suddenly bringing this up now?

Niannian pondered to herself, feeling somewhat puzzled and confused.

Meanwhile, Pei Yunjing, as if struck by a revelation, paused for a moment before slowly nodding in response:

"Hmm...that's definitely true..."

Yes, the reason for arranging that childhood betrothal was indeed as simple and straightforward as Nian Nian said, with no other reason whatsoever.

However, at that moment, a thought that he himself had not anticipated suddenly emerged from the bottom of his heart, and spread and grew rapidly like weeds, occupying his entire mind.

But soon, Pei Yunjing shook his head vigorously, trying to shake this absurd idea out of his mind.

No, no, I absolutely can't think like that!

After all, he had always regarded Niannian as his younger sister. How could he have such an unethical and immoral thought?

Niannian nodded obediently: "Okay!"

Looking at Nian Nian's obedient appearance, Pei Yun Jing felt a complex mix of emotions welling up inside him.

He knew that this arranged marriage might just be a formality for them, but his heart was involuntarily changing.

The fireworks display reached its climax at this moment, with the lights in the sky becoming even more dazzling, as if drawing a perfect conclusion to this beautiful night.

Niannian's gaze was drawn to the fireworks. She jumped up and down excitedly, pointing at the fireworks in the sky, and said to Pei Yunjing, "Brother Yunjing, look at that firework, it looks like a blooming flower!"

Pei Yunjing followed Niannian's finger, but felt a little dazed. He smiled gently and replied, "Yes, it really is beautiful."
