Since it was the fifteenth of the month, He Beiyi couldn't spend the evening with Li Yunyan, so he spent the afternoon in Chonghua Palace. He was reviewing memorials in his study, while Li Yunyan read a storybook beside him.

So the banquet was also held at Fengyi Palace with Li Yunyan.

When the Empress saw the two of them arrive hand in hand, receiving the kneeling homage of the crowd as if they were the Emperor and Empress, she clenched her fingers even tighter.

She wore a polite smile, but inwardly she was sneering.

Li Yunyan!

Tonight is your death night!

Li Yunyan didn't know what the Empress had planned, but according to the usual pattern, something strange would usually happen during the banquet, so she was secretly on guard.

She also instructed the system: "System, report any abnormalities to me. Don't try to save me points."

[Yes, host!]

Her seat was arranged in the first position below the dragon throne. As He Beiyi was about to let go of her hand, his eyes were filled with apology.

Li Yunyan smiled gently at him, lifted her skirt, and walked to her seat.

He Beiyi sat in the main seat, which was covered with bright yellow satin, next to the Empress.

"My beloved concubines, rise!"

"Your Majesty, I thank you! Your Majesty the Empress!"

He Beiyi raised his wine cup, and the Empress followed suit. "Tonight is the Mid-Autumn Festival. My beloved concubines, please do not stand on ceremony. The Empress and I will celebrate with you!"

"Your Majesty, I obey!"

Dancers surged forward from the center of the hall, and grand music began. The festive music, combined with the dancers' graceful movements, ignited the atmosphere of the banquet.

Ying Huai reclined languidly on a nearby palace, inwardly commenting:

She is far superior!
