This palace banquet was especially lively.

It had been a long time since Fu Xiuyi was so happy. His usually cold expression softened a lot, and he was smiling from ear to ear. Shen Miao watched coldly as Fu Sheng went to toast him. The father and son drank as they chatted happily.

Fu Ming and Wanyu sat at the side obediently. Those officials always praised the crown prince and the princess for being extremely sensible at such a young age. Not everyone was born with such a natural temperament.

Wanyu and Fu Ming had also tried their best to get close to Fu Xiuyi. Children were the most sensitive. They could feel Fu Xiuyi’s coldness, so they gradually became distant.

Shen Miao sat beside Fu Xiuyi and watched as Fu Xiuyi exchanged glances with Consort Mei from time to time. Consort Mei was smiling happily. Fu Xiuyi also smiled.

Shen Miao thought to herself that the two of them must be sincerely happy.

But what about the protagonist of this palace banquet?

Shen Miao couldn’t help but look at the man on the left row of the seats.

The young man was handsome and had a lazy posture. He sat diagonally. His dark purple robe was a little loose, but it could not hide his lean figure. He smiled and slowly drank, as if the lively banquet had nothing to do with him.

Shen Miao smiled bitterly. She felt that this young marquis of Lin’an was a little similar to her. The hall was filled with happy laughter, but they were not very happy. Xie Jingxing was walking down a path that led him to a future filled with uncertainties, and Shen Miao did not know what would happen to her from now on either.

She also poured herself a glass of wine to drink in a restrained manner.

As the empress, she naturally had to mind her demeanor, unlike the consorts who could be themselves.

After the banquet ended, everyone dispersed in twos and threes. She sat in her seat and heard Consort Mei say, “Your Majesty, I prepared good wine tonight. Your Majesty, let’s watch the fireworks together as we drink. Sheng even said that he wants to play chess with you.”

Fu Xiuyi laughed and rubbed Consort Mei’s nose. “His competitive personality is really like you.”

Shen Miao wanted to say that Wanyu and Fu Ming also wanted to spend time with their father, but she swallowed the words.

When she turned around, the sadness in the two children’s eyes made her heart ache.

However, she endured the pain and pretended to be calm.

This new year was destined to be a sad one for her.

She put the two children to sleep. She felt that her two children were not very enthusiastic about the new year. The sound of fireworks sounded in the palace. It was late at night. On such a night, Consort Mei’s palace was the best place to watch fireworks. The three of them must be having a good time.

Shen Miao put on her cloak and asked Bai Lu to take a jar of wine and a bowl before going to the garden.

From a corner of the garden, one could see the reflection of the fireworks. However, it was still garden.

From a corner of the garden, one could see the reflection of the fireworks. However, it was still extremely dazzling, almost illuminating the entire sky. One could imagine what kind of scenery it would be on the other side. 𝚋ｅ𝚍ｎ𝚘ｖｅ𝚕．𝚘𝚛𝚐

She took out a bowl. Bai Lu felt bad. Shen Miao waved her hand, telling her not to speak.
