The embroidered dragon is rather ug

The embroidered dragon is rather ugly, in a glimpse it actually looks like a suffering millipede. Ji Wu Jiu was moving the pouch around in his hands, he really wanted to wear it on himself, but during this festive period, he still have to take care of the emperor’s pride, so he decided to put the pouch into another pouch and placed it on his waist.

Towards Ye Zhen Zhen, new years celebration is a good thing, but there is one thing that really makes her upset: “Shou Sui” (something like a Chinese countdown ritual). Previous years, ,as an unmarried lady, she was not really required to perform this ritual, she likes to sleep, and her family dotes on her, so she was not required to be involved on the eve of the new year and allowed her to sleep early.

But now, as the empress, she cannot avoid it anymore. New years eve night, at Gan Qing Palace, Ye Zhen Zhen was accompanying Ji Wu Jiu, along with the rest of the concubine and consorts to stay up. On the table various types of pastries were placed in accordance to the occasion, these delicate pastries were all made to perfection, making people feel touched, however, it still didn’t help Ye Zhen Zhen. Once her usual sleep timing approaches, as though as someone pressed a secret button on her body, she starts to lose her strength and vigor, slowly falling asleep. She no longer replies to the consorts chatting and slowly dozing off.

Seeing that she is in such a state, Ji Wu Jiu felt a little sorry, and really wanted to pull her into her arms and let her take a good nap, but if he were to really do it, it would go against the palace rules, so he has to stop himself.

Finally she lasted till midnight, Ye Zhen Zhen is already near the state of dreaming, Ji Wu Jiu woke her up, and told her it was time to eat dumplings. After counting down, it was time to eat dumplings, it was a ritual for some local people, and the royal family also performs them.
