The Queen sealed her heart and locked up her love, and the Emperor was trapped in the crematorium

As he waited, the bored Xie Yaoqing suddenly woke up from his dream. It was already bright outside.

Faintly, Xie Yaoqing seemed to hear voices coming from outside. When he listened carefully, it seemed that they were saying that it was snowing.

The snow fell a little late this year. Usually by this time of year, there would have been two or three snowfalls. This is only the first snow, and the first snow has just arrived.

Now that she was awake, she couldn't fall asleep, but Xie Yaoqing didn't want to get up either. She just stayed in bed, lying with her eyes closed for a long time. It was not until Zhiyu came into the room for the second time to urge her to get up, wash up and eat that Xie Yaoqing got up slowly, finally willing to leave the warm and comfortable bed.

There is a floor heating in the house, and the heat is constant, making the whole room warm. People don't feel the severe cold of winter at all, but instead feel warm and comfortable.

"Your Majesty, the Qianqiu Festival is just a few days away. Should we hold a banquet for this year's Qianqiu Festival as in previous years? Should we hold a plum blossom viewing banquet? Now is the perfect season for plum blossoms to bloom."

In this cold winter, it is most appropriate to hold a plum blossom viewing banquet. Walking in the snow to look for plum blossoms is also a unique and elegant experience. If you just hold a birthday party and watch some singing and dancing performances, it will inevitably seem a bit dry and uninteresting, which will make people feel bland and boring.

Qianqiu Festival, this name sounds solemn and elegant, it is actually a respectful name for the Queen's birthday. Now Xie Yaoqing is the Queen of a country, so Qianqiu Festival is her birthday.

According to past practice, a grand banquet would be held in the palace every time the Qianqiu Festival came. At that time, the ladies of the court, the wives of the royal family and the concubines in the harem would gather together to celebrate Xie Yaoqing's birthday and offer gifts and blessings.

Although Xie Yaoqing herself is a person who is afraid of trouble, she is not afraid of trouble when it comes to the Qianqiu Festival.

Especially since the harem gradually added new people, Xie Yaoqing's attention to the Qianqiu Festival has increased sharply. Every Qianqiu Festival, she would organize a grand event to show her lofty status as the queen of the central palace, and use it to warn the concubines in the harem to recognize their own identities and not to be wishful thinking. They are all like Concubine Qi, who is confused and is eyeing her position as queen every day.

However, this time the situation was different. The palace became deserted. Except for Xie Yaoqing, all the other concubines had left the palace. For Xie Yaoqing, she had lost someone to show off her wealth and splendor. Even if the concubines were still in the harem, Xie Yaoqing was too lazy to use the banquet to show off.

So Xie Yaoqing thought about it and quickly made a decision. He shook his head slightly and rejected Zhiyu's proposal to hold a plum blossom viewing banquet.

The banquet seemed to be bustling and lively, but in fact the preparations were complicated and troublesome. Every aspect needed to be carefully considered. Xie Yaoqing really didn't want to cause trouble for herself. Wouldn't it be better to live a relaxed and leisurely life? Why bother to organize a Qianqiu Festival banquet?

Whether in the past life or this life, Xie Yaoqing has participated in hundreds of banquets, big and small. No matter what the name of the banquet is, it is nothing more than the same form, without much novelty.

Even if you organize a banquet yourself, there won't be anything new.

After Zhiyu knew Xie Yaoqing's thoughts, she no longer mentioned the Qianqiu Festival.

Since the master has made up his mind, she just needs to obey orders, listen more, do more and talk less.

Nanny Fang also thought it was a wise move not to hold the banquet. After all, rumors were rampant inside and outside the palace, and it was inevitable that someone who came to the banquet would say something inappropriate. It would be bad if Xie Yaoqing was embarrassed in front of everyone.

In previous banquets, there would inevitably be people who would openly or secretly mock Xie Yaoqing for being the queen and having the favor but having no children. In the current situation, I am afraid that as soon as Xie Yaoqing shows up, she will receive a lot of sympathetic and pitying looks.

Everyone has a competitive heart. In terms of status, no one can compare with Xie Yaoqing, the queen who is the mother of the country. But in other aspects, they may not be worse than the queen. Apart from other things, there is only one thing: at least their husbands are normal people, without hidden diseases that are not known to outsiders, and they are harmonious and peaceful when it comes to love between men and women.

At the same time, Xiao Chengxu also thought of the Qianqiu Festival.

His idea was completely different from Xie Yaoqing's. Xie Yaoqing felt that there was no need to hold a banquet, but he insisted on not only holding a banquet, but also making it grand and solemn, dignified and honorable.

Feng An hesitated for a moment and asked cautiously: "Do we need to inform the Queen in advance about the banquet?"

Xiao Chengxu waved his hand and said, "No, let's keep it secret for now. Just think of it as a surprise I prepared for the Queen."

In their previous life, on the twelfth year after Xiao Chengxu and Xie Yaoqing got married, no celebratory banquet was held in the palace for the Qianqiu Festival that year.

But originally Xie Yaoqing wanted to hold a lively banquet to add to the joyful atmosphere. However, before her birthday came, the imperial edict to depose her was issued first. Xie Yaoqing was deposed, she was no longer the queen in charge of the six palaces, and naturally there was no such thing as celebrating the Qianqiu Festival.

Xiao Chengxu once thought that missing out on the Qianqiu Festival was no big deal, it was just like missing out on a birthday. If he missed it this year, he could make it up next year, the year after, or even the year after that.

So he couldn't understand why Xie Yaoqing was so persistent about a Qianqiu Festival banquet. At that time, he was exhausted by the busy government affairs, and when Xie Yaoqing asked him to attend the banquet, he just felt that she was nosy and annoying, and she wanted to disturb him for just a banquet.

But Xie Yaoqing was his queen, and it was reasonable for Xiao Chengxu to show up and give Xie Yaoqing face. Otherwise, once the news got out, it would be Xie Yaoqing who would be embarrassed. Others would laugh at her and question whether the so-called story of the emperor and queen's deep love was false.
