All kinds of delicious food, a rare opportunity. It is said that the imperial concubine's personal chef was invited to cook. The dishes he prepared were all delicious and innovative.

After Emperor Yanqing's polite opening remarks and New Year's greetings, the concubines who were closer to the emperor began to toast him and say auspicious words to make him happy.

Shi Qian, who was far away from social occasions, had no intention of huddling together with others for warmth. She focused entirely on eating.

This one is delicious, that one is delicious too, and this one, she eats it!

Shi Qian was so busy that she almost never stopped talking.

There was enough charcoal fire in Yufu Palace, the temperature in the palace was not low, and the food cooled down slowly.

Sitting on the main seat, Emperor Yanqing was so delighted by his concubines that he was about to let one sit on his lap when the dancer came on stage.

The palace was as warm as spring, and the dancers were not cold even though they wore little. While everyone was sitting around eating, the dancers began to dance.

They have graceful figures, charming manners, and their dancing moves are as light as fairies descending to earth, which is very charming.

Shi Qian finally took her eyes off the food.

The banquet lasted a long time, and new dishes were constantly served to ensure that the food would not get cold.

After Shi Qian had eaten and drunk her fill, she looked around. The ladies around her were all talking and laughing, and seemed to be in a good relationship. She seemed a little pitiful because she was all alone.

Shi Qian pretended that she had to pee urgently, explained the situation to the eunuch in charge behind her, and left with Hong Xing.

"My lady, I am very hungry."

Hong Xing looked pitiful. Tonight she just watched the young lady eat all kinds of things. She only got some cakes, but she was still very greedy.

Shi Qian felt a little embarrassed and just focused on eating by herself. As someone was watching, she couldn't openly give Hong Xing more. She only dared to give Hong Xing a little secretly because the candlelight on her side was not very bright.

"I'll bring you some more pastries when we go back later."

That's all she could say.

Hong Xing nodded: "Thank you, my lord~"

Chu Qi was not the eunuch in charge, nor was she assigned by Eunuch An to stand guard at the New Year's Eve banquet. She had just come from Qi Chenli's place and was sitting on a tree outside, bored.

She was holding a pot of wine in her hand, and she would raise her head slightly to take a sip from time to time. When she saw Shi Qian coming out, she followed quietly behind her. When Shi Qian was almost away, she finally showed up.

When a person suddenly appeared in the dark in the middle of the night, both the master and the servant were startled. If it weren't for their good manners stopping them, they would have screamed.

But the visitor quickly spoke softly, his voice was a very pleasant boyish voice, mixed with a hint of hoarseness:

"It's me."
