    The New Year's Eve banquet was held in the Xiangde Hall. The grand palace was located beside the Yuye Pond. After nightfall, the palace was brightly lit and filled with shadows, reflecting on the Yuye Pond, making it like a dream and an illusion, like the world in the water.

    Because it is a royal family banquet and everyone is a family, the etiquette is not as particular as usual.  Li Ci led Zhao Rongqing all the way up the stairs. In the long jade corridor, there were people talking loudly in groups of two or three, and people drinking too much and getting drunk. When Li Ci saw a certain county prince, he directly got under the table to fight for his life.  When Ken came out, the eldest son of the family was extremely helpless. Seeing Li Ci looking at them, he could only show an embarrassed yet polite smile.

    Li Ci smiled and nodded in return, while whispering to Zhao Rongqing: "That uncle should be outside the third server based on seniority. The younger members of the family compete with each other. There are people in the government who hold civil and military positions, and the title has been preserved."

    Every time she passed by a clan member, Zhao Rongqing had to explain their relationship to her carefully if she had not seen them before.  The Li royal family has been passed down to the present generation, and during this period it may have declined sharply due to changes in the throne and other reasons, but there are still hundreds of people, including some local clansmen, and the relationship between the people is extremely complicated.

    Zhao Rongqing followed Li Ci very obediently, with a smile in his eyes that was bright and moving.

    Emperor Zhaohe has always been late for family banquets in recent years, and everyone has become accustomed to it.  The male clan members took the initiative to find someone to chat, laugh and drink with, carrying pots and cups, and holding ocean bowls, which was extremely heroic.  The princesses and princesses gathered together to talk about rouge, gouache, parenting, and charioteer skills. The pink baby, who was not yet able to walk, was held in her mother's arms, with a pair of innocent eyes open.  Look at this and that, listen to them say things they don't understand, blow bubbles from time to time, and babbling baby talk.

    Not far away, Princess Xining¡¯s family sat together with Li Shan¡¯s family. The Crown Princess and Princess Xining held their children under one year old and exchanged parenting experiences.  Princess Xining has given birth to three children and is very experienced in this field. The Crown Princess is the first child, so she came here specifically to ask for her experience.  The two older children were watching the sisters, while Prince Consort Meng and Li Shan were drinking.

    Li Ci walked toward them with Zhao Rongqing. He first greeted his sister, brother-in-law, and cousin-in-law. When Li Shan saw them, he directly invited them to come over and drink together.  Li Ci didn't agree to him, so he had to go back to drink with Prince Consort Meng.

    At the New Year¡¯s Eve banquet, there were all kinds of fine wines. The wines from the Western Regions were served as tributes in sapphire-colored wine bottles.  Li Ci took the jug and poured a glass for Zhao Rongqing, handed it to her, and said, "This is the royal wine sent as tribute from the Western Regions. It tastes sweet and mellow, but not overpowering. You can try it."

    Zhao Rongqing chuckled, but did not take it, and drank from Li Ci's hand.  The red wine dripped on her lips, making the red lips even more delicate. Li Ci couldn't help but tremble slightly when he saw it. His hands also trembled, but he stayed steady.

    Zhao Rongqing smiled even deeper when he saw this.

    Princess Xining and the Crown Princess accidentally saw this scene while they were talking, and sighed slightly in their hearts, and then felt happy again.  Prince Yong and Princess Yong are both women, which is against the principles of yin and yang in terms of etiquette. But if Xiao Jiu likes it and makes fun of it, how can she not support it as her sister.  Furthermore, nobles in Luodu occasionally have secret affairs, and it is not uncommon for both men and women to do so.  What's more, it seems that both of them are interested in each other, which is a good thing.

    At least she has never seen Xiaojiu treat anyone with such caution.

    Li Ci looked at the adorable infant child Yuxue and hugged her in turn. She had hugged the two children before. She didn¡¯t know whether it was because she was not afraid of birth or because she remembered Li Ci. She was extremely well-behaved in Li Ci¡¯s arms and sucked her fingers.  , puff bubbles.  They seemed to prefer Princess Yong beside them, stretching out their hands for a hug.

    Li Ci was a little jealous and deliberately refused to hug her, causing the child to babble and say something. His little hand seemed to hit her arm twice, which made Li Ci amused by them.  She tapped the child's smooth and tender face very lightly with her fingers, which felt very good. She signaled to Zhao Rongqing, "Arong, look, they are so interesting."

    Zhao Rongqing leaned beside her, smiling lightly.

    "Some of the emperor's nephews are here just in time, come and see Uncle Wang's youngest son." Just as a group of people were enjoying themselves, a voice suddenly came in. Several people looked up and saw that King Ping had arrived without knowing when, holding a hug in his hand.  Holding a child, wrapped in swaddling clothes, about two months old, eyes closed.  Later, he was followed by his little princess who was born as a merchant.

    He was an elder, so he bumped into him. Even if Li Ci and others didn't like him, they could only say hello to him.

    King Ping glanced at the two children, lifted the child in his arms forward to show it to several people, and then said with great pride: "This is your cousin.They all gathered together to talk about their children.  A quarter of an hour later, King Zhou and King Yi appeared in the Xiangde Hall. Many clan members saw them and shouted.

    The clan members have royal blood, and even though they have become somewhat alienated from the imperial bloodline after a few generations, they are very satisfied with the titles passed down and being born with endless glory and wealth.  There is not much strong desire for dragon power.  After all, no matter where you can go further, it can't be that seat.  But now the King of Zhou is the most famous, and he is very likely to become the prince. Even if he doesn't seek the merit of being a dragon, he is still very willing to sell it to the King of Zhou and others.

    King Xiang also came later. After these days of careful nursing by the imperial physician, his face had some color, but the flesh on his body could not be restored in a short time.  Some of the clan members had seen his emaciated appearance before, so they were a little surprised when they saw him today.  They also greeted King Xiang, but their attitude was not as eager as before.

    ??It¡¯s different after all.

    King Xiang¡¯s eyes were dark, and the hands hidden in his sleeves were clenched into fists.  King An followed him with his usual cold expression and a bad look on his face. The people around him didn't feel happy after seeing him, and their greetings were a little cold.

    When the moon was in the middle of the sky, Emperor Zhaohe arrived belatedly.  Everyone saluted one after another, and those who were sober during the break did not forget to kick the drunk man under the table. Seeing that he didn't react at all, they were helpless.  Emperor Zhaohe said some formal remarks as usual, and then issued an order to give his food to the kings, clans and their relatives.

    Li Ci was given a portion of Qing's fish tongue and bear's paw. Different from the others, the food they received was also different.  Some people tried to discern something from the food that Emperor Zhaohe gave to the kings, but it seemed that it was just a random gift from Emperor Zhaohe and had no deep meaning.

    Emperor Zhaohe had no intention of keeping vigil with his clan members, so he drove back to Mingguang Hall after giving him food.  In the absence of the emperor, the vigil was of little use, and the feast did not break up until midnight.  At the end of the year, the palace was strictly prohibited, and all the kings' carriages and horses were waiting outside the palace gate, so they walked to the palace gate in small groups.

    The cold wind blew from time to time at night, and it was a bit cold. Everyone couldn't bear it and could only speed up their pace.  When they arrived at the palace gate, they bowed their hands and said goodbye before boarding their respective carriages and heading back home.

    Tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year. There are many festivals and ceremonies, so I will be very busy. I need to recharge my batteries.
