Harem Changwu Biography

Chapter 21 New Year's Eve
Mingqi and I shared the New Year’s banquet for dinner, and I ordered them to go down to celebrate the festival by themselves as early as after the 81 dishes were passed on.

After the two people's annual banquet, Qihe ordered someone to come over and withdraw the banquet, after which Mingqi also returned to Chengming Palace, saying that there were still some government affairs to be dealt with.

Maybe it was because I was tired during the day, or maybe it was because I drank some wine at the annual banquet. After Mingqi left, I lay on the soft couch. I fell asleep on the soft couch, not even knowing that someone came in and covered me with a thin quilt.

When I woke up, the light in the room was dim and yellow, only one of the eight candles was lit, and the remaining seven should be Qihe or Fang Qian who extinguished the candles after seeing me asleep.

"What time is it?" Sitting up from the soft bed, I rubbed my tired temples on my forehead and asked.

"It's time." Another person's answer sounded from outside the hall, but it was not from Qi He or Fang Qian.

I paused when I heard the voice rubbing my temple, and then looked in the direction of the voice: "Mingqi?"

"It's my son." It really was Mingqi, and his voice sounded closer than before. After dinner, he went back to the imperial study to deal with some government affairs.

I saw that the one outside the side hall was Mingqi Empress who couldn't stay inside, so I stood down from the soft couch, straightened my appearance, and walked to the outside, while asking: "When did the emperor come?"

"Just arrived." Mingqi replied.

"Since the emperor is here, why don't you wake up Aijia?" I walked to the pear blossom chair I used to sit on and asked.

I know that Mingqi is here tonight, he must have come to watch the New Year with me.

In this palace, Mingqi and I have been dependent on each other since we were young. We used to watch the New Year's Eve together every New Year's Eve.

So I wasn't surprised that he would appear in the side hall of Changwu Hall at this time, but I didn't expect that he would be waiting in the side hall all the time, and he didn't ask Qi He to call me when he saw me sleeping.

"My son saw that my mother was sleeping deeply, so I couldn't bear to wake her up." Mingqi went to the first chair on my left and sat down, and replied, and then asked: "I saw that my mother's brows are quite tired, and my mother Are you tired recently?"

"Fortunately, not too busy." I replied.

The twelfth lunar month is already busy, and this year it is even more busy to renovate the palace where the new concubine will live in next year. One thing after another, although I don't need to do it myself, I need to take the idea, so it is busier than usual.

It's just that if it's just these things, it won't make me so tired that I can fall asleep even reading a book.

"I think it's because I haven't had a good rest in the past few days, and I'll be fine in two days."

"That's good." Ming Qi nodded upon hearing this, and didn't say anything more.

Qihe and Fang Qian followed me out of the inner room and entered the side hall. When they came in, one of them held a plate in his hand, and the other took a cloak.

"Queen Mother, drink some tea to soothe your throat." Qihe put on the cloak in his hand for me, and then brought me a cup of hot tea from the tray in Fang Qian's hand.

After sleeping for so long, I was indeed a little thirsty, so I directly took the hot tea from Qihe's hand, and took a few sips after seeing that it was not too hot.

"Your Majesty, please have some tea." Fang Qian also brought another cup of hot tea from the tray to Mingqi.

"Let's put it aside for now." Ming Qi nodded, but didn't reach out to pick up the tea.After Fang Hao listened to Mingqi's words, he carefully placed the tea on the coffee table next to Mingqi's seat.

No need to order, after finishing these, Qi He and Fang Hao retreated out consciously.
