My Princess Has Been Reborn - Chapter 126-2

Chapter 126.2 – Peaceful Times

The princess’s mansion naturally prepared fireworks for New Year. Although Qi Yang and Lu Qipei had never used them before, it was important to be well prepared for the New Year, and it was better to be prepared than to be lacking. On top of the fireworks they bought impromptu when they returned in the afternoon, all other kinds of fireworks were piled up, almost filling half the yard. Lu Qipei couldn’t help sighing in surprise.

Lu Qipei had not seen fireworks yet – the fireworks display on the palace the night before was undoubtedly the most beautiful and amazing, and in a place located in a good location like the princess’s mansion, you would be able to see them clearly just by looking up. Unfortunately, the little dumpling was already sleepy at that time and missed it.

But when they bought the fireworks in the afternoon, Qi Yang had already described to Lu Sheng the beauty of the blooming fireworks, and the seller also exaggerated his merchandise ten times over, so the little dumpling was very curious. Otherwise, with a child’s memory span, she wouldn’t have still been thinking about it at night.

Seeing the fireworks all over the yard right now, Lu Sheng ran over and looked left and right, overflowing with excitement beyond words.

Lu Qipei walked over with a stick of incense, and asked while smiling, “Ah Sheng, do you want to light them yourself?”

Lu Sheng’s eyes were sparkling, filled with curiosity towards this new experience. She nodded without even thinking and said, “I want to, I want to. Uncle, let me do it!”

Newborn calves were not afraid of tigers, and the little child was filled with courage. Lu Qipei pointed at the fuse, then gave her the incense. When the child unknowingly lit the fuse in front of her, Lu Qipei picked her up without saying anything and ran away.

Lu Sheng was a bit confused by the sudden situation, but before she could react, “bang”, there was a loud explosion behind her. Then, accompanied by a “whoosh”, a firework mixed with sparks soared into the sky, and finally exploded into a huge golden flower. Then, one after another, fireworks blasted towards the sky, and the night sky was illuminated in beautiful lights.

At first, the little dumpling was startled by the explosion, but then she was completely absorbed by the beautiful scenery and was momentarily stunned.

This kind of beautiful fireworks that exploded in the sky and looked pretty was very precious back then. Regular people could not make them or sell them, otherwise the fireworks set off in the palace on New Year’s Eve wouldn’t have attracted people from all over the city. These items on the princess’s mansion were naturally not purchased outside, but obtained from the Ministry of Engineering in the palace, and there was only one box available.

After the box of fireworks were launched, and the fireworks falling like golden rain the sky completely dissipated, Lu Sheng looked at the calm sky and still looked like she wasn’t satisfied yet. When she lowered her head and saw the fireworks on the ground, her eyes completely lit up.

Lu Qipei and Qi Yang did not say anything either, and led the children to light the fireworks on the ground one after the other.

Most of the fireworks that ordinary people could buy could not rise into the air and bloom in the sky – they only stood on the ground and spray colorful fireworks after being lit, which was also interesting to watch.

The child was not very demanding, and she was equally happy to see these fireworks erupting in front of her eyes. She was so happy and ran around the courtyard with the incense in her hand. Occasionally, she would light one or two, and she had also learned to run away after igniting them. With her agile legs, no one had to worry about her.

Initially, Qi Yang and Lu Qipei also taught Lu Sheng how to light the fuse and reminded her to be careful, but they eventually let go.

The two of them stood in the courtyard for a while in the cold winter night. When they eventually felt a bit chilly again, Lu Qipei took Qi Yang into her arms once again.

The two of them leaned against each other, the fire’s light shining on their beautiful faces that perfectly complemented each other. They looked at the colorful fireworks blooming in the yard, and at the child laughing and running around. With each other to keep them company, they felt that the times were really peaceful right now.

Author notes:

Lu Sheng (sad): Obviously it’s three people getting along, but I’m always the extra…

Rabbit (face rubbing): It’s alright, you have me to accompany you in being an extra…

Lu Sheng (pushing away): Get lost, you’re not even obedient. Also, what I lack at this time is a wife, not a rabbit!

The rabbit hugged the carrot tightly and turned around, leaving the little fart with nothing but its round butt…
