The new year is coming, but this is supposed to be a day of national celebration, but there is no atmosphere of celebration in Kyoto. On the contrary, everyone's face is gloomy. Looking at the direction of the palace day by day, they can't help sighing.

There are only a few red lanterns hanging on the street. Although life continues, because the emperor's tax revenue increased some time ago, the people's faces are not a bit happy. This year, life is dull and full of worries.

The atmosphere in the palace was even worse.

Even on New Year's Eve, there was nothing but Cao An and Huo Mingzhu's mother who came out as usual to reward the eunuchs and maids.

Even the empress and the emperor's family only met at a reunion dinner.

"Madam, the emperor is here."

Mammy carefully looked at Huo Mingzhu. Today, the empress, who had been specially decorated, was beautiful and moving, but she could still see some abnormalities in her tired eyes.

"Let Xin'er and Yan'er come here." Huo Mingzhu took Rouge in her hand, picked the most gorgeous red one and pressed it gently on her cheek. She also knew that she looked haggard now.

I haven't seen him for a long time. What kind of expression would he have when he saw himself again?

In the heart has the anticipation, has the sour astringency, Huo Mingzhu's eye socket one red, nearly did not resist lets the tear drop bad on the face makeup.

"Father

"My son meets his father."

There are two voices, one is cheerful with joy, the other is calm with childishness.

Huo Mingzhu took a silk and gently wiped the wet corner of her eyes. She raised her chin and motioned Mammy to support her. She opened the curtain and went outside.

Baili Jingqi is still Baili Jingqi, but Baili Jingqi is no longer Baili Jingqi.

"Father, hold!" Baili Xin'er hasn't seen her father for a long time, so she runs up to him and holds Baili Jingqi's thigh.

As usual, Baili Jingqi won't wait for Xin'er to open her mouth, and she will hold her tightly in her arms. But this time, Huo Mingzhu looks at him standing like that, with her head down, she can't see the expression on the man's face clearly.

"Xiner." Bai Liyan came forward and grabbed his sister's wrist. His tender voice didn't know when he learned to be dignified.

"The empress is still waiting. Go ahead and greet her."

Bai Li Xin'er's eyes are red. She looks at her father pitifully. It seems that she doesn't know him.

"My son's minister asked to see my mother." Bai Liyan took Bai lixin'er for two steps before he saw Huo Mingzhu standing at the door. He knelt down first, but he didn't forget to hold his sister's hand and let her join him.

Bai Li Xin'er is still in a bad temper. She is very reluctant to greet her with a mouthful.

"Get up. The dinner is ready. It's cold outside. Come in and talk."

Huo Mingzhu's eyes have been looking at Baili Jingqi, and the words are answered to a pair of children, but also to him.

Cao An is still following Bai Li Jingqi. He looks at the empress and the emperor standing far away. He just stares at each other and says nothing. He can't bear to hook his head down.

Just now, your majesty forced the old doctor to prick a silver needle before he got out of bed. If not, how could he have the strength to go to the harem in person?

Clearly is so eager to see the queen, why, the two of them at the moment to see each other but did not say a word?
