The Shangxiang Festival is not long after the Mid-Autumn Festival.
This is a festival unique to Japan. Autumn has passed more than halfway and the harvest is about to end. The Shangxiang Festival is to celebrate the harvest and pray to the heavens for favorable weather in the coming year.
Speaking of the Mid-Autumn Festival, something comes to mind regarding New Year's Day.
She had heard from the head steward that Xiao Changqi was going to the palace for a banquet during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
But on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xiao Changqi spent it with her at the Prince's Mansion.
She still remembered that Xiao Changqi was summoned to the palace early that morning. After returning, he accompanied her to the Prime Minister's residence, and then never left the residence again.
The head steward didn't remind Xiao Changqi to change into palace clothes to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.
Logically speaking, the head steward shouldn't be so muddle-headed about important matters.
If the head steward hadn't forgotten, but hadn't reminded Xiao Changqi...
It can only be said that someone told Xiao Changqi not to attend the banquet.
Who else, besides the one mentioned above, had the authority to prevent Xiao Changqi from entering the palace?
On New Year's Day, she felt that she had grasped the truth.
Little did people know that it wasn't that the emperor forbade Xiao Changqi from attending the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, but rather that Xiao Changqi himself didn't want to go.
He couldn't be bothered with dealing with the women in his harem.
Every time he went to the palace for a banquet, the Empress and the Imperial Concubine would always bring up his marriage, their words implying the same thing: to find someone for him.
They were also taking the opportunity to plant spies around him.
However, Xiao Changqi disliked attending palace banquets, and the emperor did not want to see him either, so he let him go.
Even if the Empress and the Imperial Concubine wanted to place women in Xiao Changqi's harem, they had no opportunity.
As for the old emperor, Xiao Changqi sent him several beauties, and his mind was completely focused on them. He no longer remembered to interfere in his marriage.
Mid-Autumn Festival is over, so there's no point in dwelling on it. I'll just focus all my interest on the Shangxiang Festival for New Year's Day.
Because Xiao Changqi promised to take her to a manor outside the capital for the night.
So, after lunch, Yuandan squatted on the threshold of the front yard, waiting for the man who had gone to court to return.
When the head steward saw the bird's behavior, he immediately felt that the prince had made the right choice in raising the bird.
Look.
Everyone knows they are eagerly awaiting the prince's return.
"Little Yuanyuan, news just came from the palace that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor have invited the Prince to dine in the palace and he won't be coming back for lunch." The old steward squatted down and stroked the little bird's soft feathers.
"Chirp chirp." Yuan Dan looked up at the old steward.
When will he be back?
The head steward couldn't understand what the little bird was saying, so he simply took the little bird with him to handle all the big and small matters in the mansion.
Originally, Xiao Changqi would have seen his pet bird perched on the threshold waiting for him as soon as he returned, but unexpectedly, the old steward nipped the problem in the bud.
After reviewing the household accounts with the head steward on New Year's Day, and arranging for servants to purchase any missing items, Xiao Changqi returned to his residence.
Upon seeing the man, Yuan Dan simply perched on the old steward's shoulder and chirped twice as a greeting.
Xiao Changqi looked at the little bird, who had "fallen in love" with him in less than half a day, with a dangerous glint in his eyes. The murderous aura around him instantly became so thick that it seemed as if he could tear a person apart at any moment.
New Year:"……"
Feeling the man's gaze, Yuandan shrank back and quickly flapped her wings to fly towards him.
However, due to the opponent's chilling aura, which was enough to freeze ten feet deep, he lost his footing and fell to the ground with a thud.
Xiao Changqi looked at it expressionlessly, neither picking it up nor walking away, but simply standing there unmoved.
It was as if he didn't even see that his pet bird had fallen.
On New Year's Day, her feathers were thick, and she didn't fly very high, so the fall didn't hurt much. She just flapped her wings, stood up, and ran over on her two thin little legs. Then she looked up at the man with her innocent little bean eyes.
