Inside and outside the palace, the lights are brightly lit.
Empress Fu Yuanxiao of Xiao Jixie took the young prince Xiao Lin to the New Year's Eve banquet.
Tang Wanqing, as a noble concubine, also attended the banquet.
As the daughter of a hero, Xiao Ji became the emperor, and she was immediately named a noble concubine.
In the eyes of outsiders, Tang Wanqing will enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future.
Only she knew that apart from these false reputations, Xiao Ji would not treat her the same way he treated Fu Yuanxiao.
But what she wants is not these false reputations.
Tang Wanqing raised her head and looked at the dragon chair. Xiao Ji and Fu Yuanxiao were sitting on the dragon chair together, and Xiao Ji was holding the little prince Xiao Lin in his arms.
In the palace, the sound of silk and bamboo can be heard endlessly.
The exchange of toasts did not affect the family of three on the dragon throne.
It was the first time for Nuonuo to attend such a grand and luxurious New Year's Eve banquet. Her big dark eyes looked left and right, watching the beauties dancing and the ministers drinking.
It seems like I can’t get enough of it.
Fu Yuanxiao looked down at his son. The child was very curious, and his beautiful phoenix eyes looked at him unblinkingly.
She smiled and raised her head to look at the ministers in the palace, and caught a glimpse of Tang Wanqing sitting on the right. She was also dressed up tonight, with a touch of elegance in her coolness.
Tang Wanqing's eyes were looking at Xiao Ji.
She knew that Tang Wanqing loved Xiao Ji.
However, Tang Wanqing could not be with Xiao Ji.
Half a year should be enough.
Fu Yuanxiao looked away and looked at Xiao Ji. He had just had a round of wine with the ministers, but now he was holding Nuonuo and couldn't drink.
Xiao Ji didn't like drinking at all. With his son in his arms, no minister without the vision would come to propose a toast.
Fu Yuanxiao likes liveliness, but not this kind of restrained liveliness. The phoenix crown weighs heavily on his neck, and he wears a complicated phoenix robe, making it inconvenient to eat.
Halfway through, Fu Yuanxiao couldn't sit still.
, looked at Xiao Ji, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Xiao Ji say: "The queen is not feeling well, I will send the queen back first, my dear friends, don't be restrained."
A flash of surprise flashed in Fu Yuanxiao's eyes, Xiao Ji could actually guess what she was thinking.
She also planned to find this excuse to leave.
Is this telepathy?
Xiao Ji looked away and looked over. His eyes were particularly gentle under the palace lantern, "Let's go."
Fu Yuanxiao followed Xiao Ji out of Chengxuan Palace.
Tang Wanqing watched the three of them leave and had no intention of staying any longer. She walked out of Chengxuan Palace with the support of Xiyan.
Returning to Shuxiu Palace, Tang Wanqing ordered: "Prepare some food and wine."
"Yes." Xiyan walked out with small steps.
Tang Wanqing slowly sat down in front of the round table and looked at the cold palace. Only the candlelight on the table gave off a soft light.
Not long after, Xiyan brought the wine and food to the table, picked up the wine flask and filled the wine glass.
Tang Wanqing lowered her eyes and looked at the wine glass in front of her. She picked it up, raised her head and drank it all in one gulp. The wine went into her throat, spicy but with a hint of comfort.
"Pour the wine."
"Girl, drink slowly, you will get drunk easily." Xiyan filled the wine glass again as she spoke.
Inside Fengyi Palace
The round dining table is filled with food.
Fu Yuanxiao changed her clothes and looked relaxed.
Nuo Nuo was placed on the couch not far away by Xiao Ji, and then he and his wife sat down to have a meal together.
He didn't eat anything just now, he just drank a few glasses of wine, and he happened to be hungry.
Fu Yuanxiao put some vegetables into the bowl in front of him, "After tonight, we will all be a year older."
Hearing this, Xiao Ji had a slight smile on his lips, "Well, time flies by very quickly. We have been married for three years and our son is almost four months old. I believe that we will get better and better as time goes by."
"Of course." Fu Yuanxiao took the food and put it in her mouth to eat. She believed that it would get better and better in the future.
She used to pursue the best of both worlds. Her father said that the rarest thing in the world is to have the best of both worlds.
Now, she can't even believe it.
"Are you going to watch the New Year's Eve tonight?"
Xiao Ji said: "I have just ascended the throne and I still have to stay up late. You should rest early."
Fu Yuanxiao knows that people attach great importance to keeping the year old, but she is too lazy to keep the year old.
"Um."
After Xiao Ji left, Fu Yuanxiao waited for his son to go to bed, then went to bed to rest himself.
Xiao Ji, who was waiting to return from the New Year's Eve, looked at Fu Yuanxiao who was already sleeping, and felt more satisfied than ever before.
I always felt that I had too little, so I wanted to compete for the throne. Only by sitting on the supreme throne can I have everything.
And Fu Yuanxiao made him understand that there were some things that the throne could not give him.
Xiao Ji's slender fingers touched her sleeping cheek. Everything he had came from her.
On the first day of the new year, Fu Yuanxiao woke up to the sound of firecrackers. When he opened his eyes, he saw Xiao Ji holding his son and looking at him, as if he knew she was about to wake up.
Good night, babies!
