Chapter Thirty To Be Partial
Even though the palace banquet was to be happening at night, but Qu Qing Ju and He Heng needed to kowtow to the Emperor and Empress so they rose early.
The relationship between the Imperial Couple wasn’t good but today, the two of them actually sat together. Qu Qing Ju and He Heng traveled to the Emperor’s residence of Tian Qi Palace.[1] When the taijian ushered them in, they saw the married couple of He Qi and Wei Qing E already situated on the chairs.
He Heng went forward a few steps and pulled Qu Qing Ju to kneel in front of the Imperial Couple: “Er chen and wang fei wishes fuhuang and muhou a good new year.” Finishing, he held up a sandalwood box with both hands, “That the three stars[2] of “luck”, “good fortune”, and “long life” accompany fuhuang always and good fortune for the world.”[3]
