It’s the Lantern Festival again.

Fengyi and Yanqing are seven years old.

After the Chen State and the Yan State merged into one, the Yan State was renamed "Da Yan".

The seven-year-old Feng Yi has already begun to take charge of the political affairs of Dayan, and Gu Yanqing will also go to Chen State after the Lantern Festival to be conferred the title of "Regent".

Fengyi looks like her mother and inherited Xie Jinyun's steady temperament, but her methods are completely inherited from Gu Changning's style, and she is decisive in killing.

Gu Yanqing looks very much like Gu Changning, and his temperament is even more like Gu Changning. He does things his own way and never accepts any restrictions from officials.

All the officials were afraid of Gu Changning, so they wanted to control the younger Gu Yanqing, but Gu Yanqing pointed at their noses and scolded them, "I am just young, not stupid."

The officials found that it was difficult to control the big and small ones, so they wanted to control the princess Fengyi.

Fengyi listened to what the officials said. After they finished speaking, she began to debate with them at length on the theories of various schools of thought. In the end, the officials were beaten to the ground. Next time, if anyone wants to make a presence felt in front of the princess, he or she should consider whether he or she can talk back at her, whether he or she has the energy to fight with the princess, and whether he or she has the brains to play brain teasers with her.

"Mother, I want to fly a Kongming lantern." Feng Yi took Xie Jinyun's hand, walked out of the palace, and pointed at the Kongming lantern in the sky.

Xie Jinyun looked everywhere for Gu Changning and Gu Yanqing, and found that after they left the banquet, the father and son disappeared.

Chen Qingtang, Gu Jiangrong, Jia Hanyu, Xiao Sangwan and Gu Jiangyu walked out of the hall.

Jia Hanyu asked, "Why aren't Xie Li and Xie Hean here?"

"Madam, the young master and the third master have gone over there." said the palace servant guarding the hall.

Gu Jiangrong asked, "Have you seen the Second Master and the Second Young Master?"

The palace attendant pointed to the left palace and said, "Replying to the Second Madam, she has also gone there."

Chen Qingtang asked: "Where are the general and the third young master?"

Palace attendant: "Follow him."

Chen Qingtang, Gu Jiangrong, and Jia Hanyu had sons, but no one of the same generation in the Xie family had given birth to a girl.

Xiao Sangwan pulled her four-year-old daughter and asked the palace maid, "Have you seen Master Jia?"

"Madam Jia, Master Jia is also going there with the two young masters."

Feng Yi suddenly clapped her hands and said, "I know, they went to the Moon Viewing Platform, and the Kongming lanterns also floated out from there. Father, my uncles must be over there, Mother, let's go find them quickly."

"Okay." Xie Jinyun looked at the women and said, "Come with me."

So, a group of women walked towards the Moon-Viewing Platform, and saw a group of men playing with Kongming lanterns below the platform.

Seeing this, Gu Yanqing hurriedly urged Gu Changning: "Dad, my mother is here with my sister. Have you finished writing? If you really don't have ink, let your son take your place."

Gu Changning glared at Gu Yanqing fiercely: "How dare you show off your little knowledge in front of me."

"What are you doing?" Fengyi ran over and said.

Gu Yanqing stood in front of Feng Yi and said, "Wait a minute, this is a gift from my father to my mother."

"Then this princess must participate properly on behalf of my father." Feng Yi slipped under Gu Yanqing's wrist, stood in front of Gu Changning, stared at the poem written by Gu Changning, and read aloud: "Flowers are blooming in front of Xie's house, and brocade skirts and jade belts are swaying in the courtyard. The clouds have cleared and the sun has risen, and the sky is beautiful. A clear song moves your heart. Xie, Jin, Yun, wow, this is an acrostic poem named after my mother."

When Xie Jinyun walked over and took a look, he saw that there were not only poems written on it, but also paintings.

The painting shows a man and a woman leaning against each other.

There are two little people playing with kites under the branches, looking very leisurely.

Gu Changning stood up and hugged Xie Jinyun in his arms: "I wanted to ask you to bring you here, but I didn't expect you to come here early. I heard that you can make a wish by releasing Kongming lanterns during the Lantern Festival, and it is very effective. Jin'er, what wish do you want to make?"

"Please give me a daughter soon." Jia Hanyu's voice came from the side.

Gu Changning and Xie Jinyun subconsciously turned their heads to look in the direction of Jia Hanyu. The Kongming lantern in front of Xie Li had not been lit yet, but Jia Hanyu had already made a wish to the Kongming lantern.

Xie Li said speechlessly: "We haven't even lit the lamp yet, why are you making a wish?"

"I'm nervous," Jia Hanyu said. "I'm afraid it won't float."

"Pooh, pooh, pooh, absolutely not. Even if it can't float, I will lift it up too." After Xie Li finished speaking, everyone present chuckled.

The Xie family lacks nothing except a pearl.

"Madam, what is your wish?" Xie Ci asked.

Chen Qingtang looked at the lit Kongming lantern and said, "Then I will wish..."

She looked at Xie Ci, smiled gently, and said, "May you live forever, and may spring come to you every year."

Xie Jinyu: "Madam, what wish do you want to make?"

Gu Jiangrong clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and said devoutly: "It's time to say goodbye to the night, fireworks every year, I miss An An every year, what about you?"

Xie Jinyu said: "The red face is like the flowers on the head, year after year."

Jia Xian: "May heaven and earth enjoy this night every year."

Xiao Sangwan: "I wish you such a beautiful landscape, with surging winds and clouds rising."

"Your Majesty, what about you?" Everyone turned around and asked in unison.

After everyone asked this question at the same time, the atmosphere fell into silence for a short time. Everyone looked at the people around them, and then bursts of laughter were heard.

Gu Changning and Xie Jinyun held the Kongming lantern and asked Fengyi, "Dear, what wish do you want to make?"

Fengyi looked at the family of four in the painting, and her soft and clear voice rang out: "The sun is bright, the moon is shining, wealth and prosperity, longevity and health, the new year is peaceful, and long-lasting joy will last forever."

The Kongming lantern turned into starlight and flew into the night sky.

Everyone looked up at the starry sky and said in unison: "A peaceful new year, long joy and endless happiness..."
