"Yes, Your Majesty, I'll go right away!" Jinxi said as she left the Qianqing Palace.

New Year’s Eve is the traditional reunion day for Chinese people, and ordinary people have a reunion dinner on this day.

The emperor could not deviate from human nature and had to hold a family banquet with the empress and concubines in the Qianqing Palace on New Year's Eve.

After Shen Meimei checked the layout of the Qianqing Palace, she said to Concubine Duan:

"Sister Duan, you have worked hard during this period. I have checked the four weeks and found that it is very well done. We are just waiting for the feast to begin tonight!"

Concubine Duan nodded slightly, "Reporting to the Imperial Concubine, a total of 109 delicacies have been prepared for this family banquet, plus various nutritious soups, a total of 153 dishes, with all kinds of folk delicacies, this is also a rare luxury scene in the harem."

When Shen Meimei heard that there were so many dishes, she sighed, "We can't finish all of them even if we prepare so many. What a pity!"

Concubine Xin covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, "It won't be wasted. The unfinished food will be given to the ministers by the Emperor. So when the time comes, all the palaces will be vying for the imperially bestowed food."

Shen Meimei nodded, "That's good, it's better to eat it than to throw it away!"

Several people talked and laughed together.

At the hour of You on New Year's Eve, which is about 6:00 p.m. today, the emperor slowly walked into the Qianqing Palace. All the royal relatives, princes, ministers, concubines, etc. stood up and knelt to pay homage.

"Your Highness, long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor!"

The emperor sat on the dragon throne and waved:

"Stand up, everyone, get up. Today is New Year's Eve, so be casual. Let's learn from the common people and have a reunion dinner. Have fun!"

"Thank you, Lord!" Everyone stood up and returned to their seats.

The seat of the empress should be next to the emperor. The person with the highest rank in the harem currently is Shen Meimei, but she is only a noble concubine, so she can only sit in the position of a noble concubine.

"Why are my Seventeenth Brother and Concubine Yu not here? Why didn't they come today?" The emperor looked around and asked in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, Prince Guo and his concubine are on their way and will be here soon!" Su Peisheng said with his head down as he stood aside.

"Okay, then we won't wait for him. Today is New Year's Eve, so we must eat and drink well!

This first cup of wine is dedicated to all the princes, ministers, and concubines in my harem. The past year has been truly eventful.

I am also saddened by the passing of Junggar, the Queen, and the Imperial Concubine, but all this is over. In the new year, may the Qing Dynasty enjoy good weather, peace, and prosperity. Come, let's toast together!"

Everyone stood up and raised their glasses, "I wish the Qing Dynasty good weather, peace and prosperity, and the emperor good health and everything goes well!"

After saying that, drink it all in one gulp.

"I am late, please don't be angry with me!"

Prince Guo held Yu Yin's hand tightly and walked quickly into the Qianqing Palace, kneeling in the middle of the hall and bowing.

"When will you be able to avoid being late? I'll forgive you this time, but there will be a next time. This won't do!

I see that you and your concubine are deeply in love, so I will punish you by having you carry your concubine on your back and run around the hall. How do you do that? "

The emperor was in a good mood and teased Prince Guo on purpose.

The other princes nodded and clapped their hands, saying "Good!"

Yu Yin looked at Prince Guo, and also hoped that the prince would carry her on his back in front of the emperor. After all, everyone knew that Yu Yin was the prince's favorite in this life.

Prince Guo looked up at the emperor and said loudly: "Brother, I am willing to punish you!"

As he said this, he stood up, pulled Yu Yin up, and held her horizontally, lovingly running around the hall three times! "

Everyone nodded and cheered, and the scene suddenly became heated.

Concubine Ning looked at Yu Yin with a smug look on her face and wished she could get rid of her immediately.
