The sky gradually darkened. Lanterns were hung in the corridors and pavilions of the Prince of Wu Estate. Countless imperial guards and constables of the Black Office were walking through the estate on patrol.
From time to time, a flame would rise in the large garden at the back of the prince's estate. Then it would explode in the sky and turn into stars. The voices of women were faintly audible.
"Wow…"
"Your Majesty, this is fun. It can spin on the ground…"
"Your Majesty, be careful of your hands…"
…
In the large garden, a few palace maids were holding palace lanterns and watching in fear.
The empress dowager, who was wearing a dark red casual dress, was holding a flame stick in her hand and lighting all kinds of fireworks.
