Lin Yi and Xiao Zihan admire the scenery from a high wooden pavilion. As fireworks light up the night sky, Lin Yi playfully claims the kingdom for his wife. The citizens, awed by the display, interpret the fireworks as a divine blessing and a sign of their emperor's power.

At the same time, they secretly prayed to the sky, hoping that their days would be a bit better, praying that they would have food to eat every day.

Of course, their longing for meals wasn’t about expecting meat at every meal, but simply being able to fill their stomachs, not even expecting fine grains; being able to fill up on coarse grains would make them satisfied enough.

As these fireworks soared into the sky, Xiao Zihan’s eyes lit up with a happy and blissful smile.

But no one noticed Leng Yu in the distance, watching the fireworks in the sky, his eyes full of envy and longing. As these emotions faded, they were replaced by a profound sense of loss.

These fireworks, though magnificent and splendid, were not blooming for her.

This made Leng Yu, even while watching, suddenly feel that the fireworks lacked some liveliness, lacked the quality to bring happiness.

On the contrary, watching these splendid fireworks, Leng Yu even felt a faint twisting pain in her heart, a feeling that could not be expressed to outsiders, nor could outsiders truly understand.

Time moved forward bit by bit, the fireworks display continued for a long, long time. Eventually, brilliant letters appeared in the sky.

These letters lit up the entire night sky and lasted for a long time. The letters formed a sentence in the sky:

"Zihan, I will forever guard you."

Indeed, just this sentence. At the moment this sentence appeared, Xiao Zihan’s eyes began to redden slightly.

She deeply felt the strong affection in these words from Lin Yi, certainly, Lin Yi thought carefully before saying them.

Lin Yi did not choose to use "protect you for a lifetime" or "guard you for a lifetime" because although these words might be suitable for others, they seemed a bit weak to Lin Yi.

Because for him, life here is not just one lifetime but already spans two lifetimes.

Moreover, with his system, he believes he will not live only a mere few decades like ordinary people.

It would be no exaggeration to say that even living for several lifetimes would not be surprising, which is why he chose the word "forever."

And Xiao Zihan naturally understood and deeply felt the meaning of these words.

Under the radiance of these brilliant fireworks, Lin Yi turned around to face Xiao Zihan, deeply holding her hand, and the next moment a simple ring appeared in his hand.

This ring wasn’t a diamond ring from later generations, but a golden ring.

Because diamond rings are merely deceptive goods from the West in later generations.

Hence, Lin Yi did not believe in the message touted by such things.

It’s just a piece of stone, forcibly linked to love, something Lin Yi did not agree with.

As for what meaning the golden ring holds, there is none, because Lin Yi knows true love cannot be replaced by anything.

As long as both parties can truly believe and hold each other in their hearts, then even a ring made of mud carries meaning and love.

As for what the golden ring represents now?

Lin Yi can only say it was handcrafted, hammered out by him.

Whether to choose gold or silver, it was all done on a whim.

Coincidentally, gold is relatively soft, and as it is a mainstream currency, Lin Yi chose gold.

Just as previously mentioned, Lin Yi feels using any material is the same, it’s just an expression of his intention.

Feeling Lin Yi’s strong affection, Xiao Zihan plunged directly into Lin Yi’s arms.

The two embraced each other like this, not parting for long.

Leng Yu quietly hid in a dark corner, although the dazzling fireworks in the sky also projected her charming face beautifully, anyone could see the face was full of disappointment.

Of course, she deliberately hid in the corner, so no one paid attention to her.

At this moment, all eyes were on the hugging Lin Yi and Xiao Zihan, sending blessings to them, since there were no outsiders on this rooftop.

As the final fireworks faded, today’s grand wedding finally came to a small conclusion.

Of course, although the rituals were almost over, there was still one very important procedure left, indeed, sending them into the bridal chamber.

The emperor’s wedding chamber decorations were certainly not simple.

Initially, Lin Yi did not have many demands, but the Ministry of Rites insisted, refurbishing a new palace for Lin Yi to be the future residence for the two.

Moreover, many rituals remained for the bridal chamber, and the two would be busy next.

Though they were long-time partners and had Xiaoluo Ning with them, today the feelings between them were very nuanced, Xiao Zihan became a bit shy, and Lin Yi likewise.

The feeling was truly wonderful, overall, the excitement between Lin Yi and Xiao Zihan was immense.

Seeing the couple’s look, it seemed that in ten months, a new Young Princess or Prince might be born.

Certainly, there was no need to elaborate too much.

And the bridal chamber antics from later generations naturally wouldn’t exist, after all, who among the officials dared to do such bold things?

Haha, should they attempt this, someone would already have dragged them out before Lin Yi even lifted a hand.

Furthermore, the inner palace certainly wouldn’t allow these officials to enter.

With the end of the fireworks, citizens in the city indulged in another frenzy.

Since Lin Yi ascended the throne and abolished the curfew, the night life in the Capital City is now very rich.

Even at dawn, there are still people wandering the streets.

Of course, indispensable were the city guards.

The city guards had become a 24-hour patrol.

With the lifting of the curfew, not only has night life in the Capital flourished, but the happiness index of citizens has also risen sharply, and various economic consumptions have also surged.

Overall, as it was tonight, the entire Capital became a Night City.

Tonight, with expenses covered by the Emperor, as long as you carry a pot of good wine, walking on the street brings endless delicious food.

At the moment, the Capital City was bustling, with many citizens secretly wishing that every night could be like this.

Hoping one day the entire Dayou would become prosperous and strong, enjoying such a life daily.

The next three days continued in this way.

Citizens went completely wild, and Lin Yi also skipped morning court for three days.

After all, as the emperor’s wedding, you can’t have the emperor come out to morning court right after the bridal chamber, right?

As for managing state affairs without going to court, Lin Yi certainly need not worry too much, and the foremost responsible was Leng Yu.
