I became the God Brother of the Regent King after Transmigration!-Chapter 129 - 92: Fireworks and Chestnuts (Part 2)

Chapter 129: Chapter 92: Fireworks and Chestnuts (Part 2)

"There are still many displaced citizens and border soldiers who cannot reunite with their families. At least I got to see my father once more."

Gu Lan comforted Rong Baoyi and looked up at the full moon. For a moment, she couldn’t distinguish between the moon inside the book and outside it. Has it been the same moon for thousands of years?

She couldn’t see any difference.

Because here, she seemed to have emotions she never had before.

Rong Heng looked at Gu Lan and suddenly felt that the young person in front of him had grown distant.

He liked her being closer to him, so Rong Heng moved nearer to Gu Lan.

Gu Lan smelled the familiar scent of medicine, turned around, and smiled.

"Sister, look over there! Isn’t that Jiu?" Rong Yunhao suddenly grabbed Baoyi’s arm and exclaimed excitedly.

"County Princess Changle! Happy Birthday to you!"

Rong Baoyi was stunned for a moment and looked towards the opposite platform, seeing Jiu with her hands cupped around her mouth, shouting loudly.

Standing next to her, Wei Chengyuan’s stern face was hidden in the darkness, but his amber eyes, looking at Gu Lan, were full of tenderness.

"This is the birthday gift from Young Master Gu for you!"

"What?" Rong Baoyi looked at Gu Lan, puzzled.

Gu Lan glanced at the sky and said, "Baoyi, happy birthday."

"Boom—!"

Rong Baoyi followed the sound and saw several dazzling lights break through the dark night, shooting straight up to the clouds!

The colorful fireworks bloomed in the sky, bright and shifting, reflecting in Rong Baoyi’s eyes, causing her to widen them in surprise.

"These are fireworks!"

Clusters of fireworks were being lit by Jiu and Wei Chengyuan, blooming continuously in the night and lighting up the whole of Magpie Street.

Because of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the curfew had been lifted in the capital for the past two days, and there were still many people on Magpie Street, all stopping and watching.

The guests drinking in the teahouse also stood up and looked out the windows.

The persistent splendor of the fireworks made Rong Baoyi reluctant to blink.

This might be the most unforgettable moment of her life, having an entire street of fireworks lit for her on the night of her coming of age.

Until the end, Rong Baoyi looked at Gu Lan, unable to hide her excitement: "Gu Lan, did you arrange all of this?"

Young Master Gu pulled out the fan from her waist, gently fanning, and with clear and pure eyes curving, she looked even more charming and noble.

With a roguish smile, her tone was teasing but gentle: "I took care of the money, Jiu and Yuan went to prepare the fireworks... Baoyi, can you call me Brother Lan now?"

The moon was as cool as water, the light shifting, and the young person in front appeared as if wearing a silver robe, graceful like an immortal.

Rong Baoyi was caught in a dilemma.

Rong Heng glanced at Gu Lan and said flatly, "Using a fan in autumn, aren’t you cold?" 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"Oh, never mind, it’s indeed quite cold."

Gu Lan put away the fan, covered her mouth, and coughed, ending her styling pose.

In TV dramas, the male lead raises an arm, fireworks fill the sky, and the female lead happily rushes into his arms. Finally, Gu Lan got to experience it through Baoyi’s birthday celebration.

Except that what she experienced... was being the one raising an arm, while the actual male lead stood by, watching her celebrate the little girl’s birthday with a cold face.

The group packed up and prepared to return to the palace. After wishing Rong Baoyi a happy birthday, the young prince cheerfully asked, "Sister, was I the first to wish you a happy birthday?"

Gu Lan: "I was."

Rong Baoyi looked up at Jiu and said nothing.

After midnight, Gu Lan returned to the Imperial Palace.

She made sure to retrieve the candied figures she had left at the medicine shop, first giving one to Zijin upon returning, then taking out the one for Rong Miaoyan to give it to her in the morning before school.

Zijin hadn’t seen Gu Lan come back all night, checked with Rong Yunhao’s maid, and asked the eunuchs of Maoqin Hall before finding out that Young Master Gu had skipped class again.

Now seeing Gu Lan return safe and sound, Zijin was both angry and anxious. If it weren’t so late and Young Master Gu really didn’t look so tired, she might have nagged for half the night.

Trying to placate with a candied figure? Zijin was getting increasingly irritable.

Gu Lan directly hugged Zijin tightly and, with her eyes closed, murmured, "Zijin, you have no idea how much I’ve missed you... today I saw a woman who was big and white... when will you be like that?"

Zijin: "What do you mean big and white?"

...

Outside Xiefang Palace, Wei Chengyuan, who followed Gu Lan back, leaned against a hidden pillar, holding a sword with his eyes closed.

In his mind lingered the image of Gu Lan watching the fireworks. Although they were for Rong Baoyi, Lanlan also smiled, which made him especially happy.
