Chapter 590: Chapter 583: Prince Qi Forcing the Emperor to Abdicate_1

If one is not given due importance, even after entering the family, they might not be able to win over the heart. After all, these two are to walk hand in hand for a lifetime.

Going down this road, a man can have multiple wives and concubines, but a woman can only wait alone at home, wasting her life away.

She didn’t understand this before, but now that she has seen so much, she understands the principles behind it. It’s a pity that she’s already fallen deep in love and can’t extricate herself from it!

"Sister Pan’er, rest assured, Xian’er will not fail to live up to your earnest heart!"

As long as she doesn’t fail, it’s good!

Su Pan’er nodded almost imperceptibly.

This girl is really fortunate; she’s very perceptive, no matter who marries her in the future, they would likely find her a very suitable wife and excellent homemaker. But she wondered if he would be so lucky!

Su Pan’er couldn’t help but marvel at the mystery that is fate, and suddenly heard Ke’er’s hearty laughter beside her, she couldn’t help but turn to look.

She saw Ke’er running over joyfully.

"Fourth Sister, Fourth Sister, you must go and see, there are so many beautiful fireworks, many of which were set off by me! Fourth Sister."

"Hmm, my Ke’er is the best! By the way, you didn’t cause them any trouble, did you?"

Su Pan’er affectionately ruffled his hair a bit.

"Of course not, but I’m dying of thirst!"

He dodged Su Pan’er, and strode forward. Without waiting for the maidservants to serve him, he grabbed a cup of half-cold tea and gulped it down.

The maidservants who couldn’t stop him in time, could only quickly cool down the remaining tea.

Following behind, Qin Yi and the others came in, all with smiles across their faces.

"This Shengjing is indeed different from the countryside. Looking at the hustle and bustle, I guess tonight’s fireworks show won’t stop for a while!" Qin Yi said with a slight smile.

Su Huarong quickly agreed: "I have already studied this. They say that these fireworks will last until midnight. When the time comes, the crackling of firecrackers and fireworks will fill the entire sky. This is still just the beginning!"

Qin Hua seemed a bit cautious: "The countryside has its own advantages. I remember that during the New Year, we could get a few copper coins..."

The Qin household wasn’t particularly well-off, and there were many children in each room—each receiving a few copper coins added up to quite a sum. Distributing New Year’s money always made Mrs. Qin-Li extra anxious!

This comment made Su Pan’er laugh, and she propped herself up: "I thought you missed home, but you’re actually missing your New Year’s money! Don’t worry, third auntie has already made preparations."

Her statement made everyone around, including Ke’er, clamour for their New Year’s money!

Su Xian’er joined the joke with a laugh and even went so far as to lead the maidservants and pages to ask for their share of New Year’s money.

This caught Qin Hua off guard and left him blushing, completely at a loss for how to respond.

A little laugh flashed in Qin Yi’s eyes as he pointed to him: "Look at you, aren’t you younger than your sister Shuang’er? She knows to greet the New Year and ask for New Year’s money. Why don’t you know?"

His words were obviously guiding everyone!

Once he finished speaking, everyone crowded around Su Pan’er to pay their New Year’s compliments.

Su Pan’er was just making a casual comment, but everyone’s congratulations obliged her to lighten her purse quite a bit.

She quickly distributed loose silver coins to everyone, and also handed out snacks like melon seeds, peanuts, candies, and pastries to stop the mouths of the multitudes bringing New Year’s greetings. Everyone happily cheered for a bountiful and festive New Year after receiving their New Year’s money.

Upon receiving the reward, everyone tucked into their share, finding it incredibly tasty.

Seeing everyone’s happiness, Su Pan’er too felt joyous and cheerfully said, "Today is New Year’s Eve. Feel free to go back to your families, or stay and celebrate with us, you’re all free to enjoy as you wish. You don’t need to attend to me anymore, go and have fun!"

This declaration immediately released them, and everyone gleefully went off to do just as they pleased.

Remembering the confinement period of nanny Zhou, Su Pan’er sent someone with ten taels of silver and some light, unseasoned food, encouraging her to take care of herself.

The messenger quickly returned and reported that Nanny Zhou was overjoyed to receive the gift and wished to pay her respects to Su Pan’er for the New Year and express her thanks.

Su Pan’er gave a faint smile and once again gathered around the hotpot with Qin Yi and the others.

She had instructed for the soup in the pot to be refreshed. As the group once more engaged in eating and drinking, midnight silently approached unnoticed!

Suddenly fireworks erupted, the sound deafening!

It seemed as if the ground underfoot was vibrating, the sound of firecrackers and fireworks echoing throughout the entirety of the Capital City.

Su Pan’er nestled on a chaise lounge nearby, wrapped in a long white fox fur robe. Only her small face was visible, her eyes half-open as she quietly appreciated the beautiful moment and lively atmosphere.

But good times don’t last long!

Not long after, a thunderous door-knocking echoed sonorously. Soon, a figure hurriedly came, whispering something into Qin Yi’s ear.

Qin Yi immediately rose to his feet and looked towards the chaise lounge.

Su Pan’er seemed to have fallen asleep on the lounge, her face radiating a peaceful smile.

Qin Yi hurriedly gestured for silence, and tiptoed out of the room. He then called over Su Huarong and said, "Prince Qi has unexpectedly besieged the Imperial City and is forcing His Majesty to abdicate. I must go to the palace immediately. If Pan’er wakes up and asks about me, tell her that I went outside to set off fireworks. Be sure not to worry her."

"Okay! Rest assured, I know what to do."

Su Huarong solemnly nodded his head.

Despite his reluctance and worry, Qin Yi left in a hurry.

Su Huarong watched until Qin Yi’s silhouette disappeared into the distance, then turned back into the room.

With one person less in the room, the festive spirit was lost. Everyone was in shock, sitting at their original spots.

"Fourth Younger Sister, you must have heard what my brother-in-law said before he left. Now, you don’t have to bother coming up with a tale to deceive me," Su Huarong said, chuckling lightly.

"True, no need for that."

Su Pan’er’s long eyelashes, which resembled two tiny fans, fluttered slightly as she slowly opened her bright eyes. She gave a slight smile, propped herself up, and gazed at the still glittering sky filled with fireworks.

It reminded her of the fleeting nature of life: just like those exploding fireworks, illuminating the world with their unique brilliance, leaving a beautiful spectacle for everyone to see, and then fading away hurriedly.

That night, Qin Yi did not return.

The vibrant fireworks lit up the sky all night, echoing with deafening firecrackers. The festive atmosphere endured all night long.

Su Pan’er and the others hardly slept, staying awake till dawn.

Only Ke’er, after having his fill of food and fun, fell asleep next to Su Pan’er early on. Worried that he might catch a cold during the night, Su Pan’er promptly had someone carry him back to his courtyard.
