Lu Zhihuan ate some snacks and some supplements, then went to bed to rest, waiting to celebrate the New Year with Qi Yan.

……

In the palace's main hall, flickering candlelight illuminated the ornate decorations and precious artifacts. Qi Yan and Lu Zhihuan, dressed in their finery, sat on the dragon throne.

I felt a little excited. Oh my god, I have made it. I can sit on the throne openly.

The Queen Mother was also dressed in formal attire and had a kind face.

The palace maids stood quietly by, lanterns in hand. Lu Zhihuan felt that it was all too solemn and full of rules. It was said that the tradition of staying up all night in the palace to celebrate the New Year continued, symbolizing the prosperity of the royal family and the nation.

As midnight approached, the palace was filled with a tense and expectant atmosphere, just like the countdown to the Spring Festival Gala.

The bells ring and the new year officially arrives.

Qi Yan stood up and the leader gave a speech, extending New Year's greetings to everyone, and warm cheers rang out in the palace.

At this time, fireworks bloomed in the night sky, and colorful lights illuminated the entire palace.

People laugh and congratulate each other, welcoming the arrival of the new year together.

Lu Zhihuan thought that in a few years, the New Year's Eve would definitely be lively, and there would be a lot of little radishes in the palace.

She gently rubbed her belly, "Happy New Year, babies."

Qi Yan's big hand also stroked her belly, "Happy New Year, babies."

His eyes were gentle as water, staring at her as if no one was around, with the deep affection in his eyes not even a trace of concealment.

Qi Yan held her in his arms. His voice was clear and smooth, neither hurried nor slow, and he whispered in her ear with extreme tenderness: "Since I have given my love to one person, I am willing to be generous for the rest of my life."

Qi Yan had never expressed his love for her, nor had he ever made any promises.

He never spoke of love easily, but his words and actions were all full of love. He never made any promises, but proved it with his actions.

This is the first time today.

Lu Zhihuan was very moved. How could one not be moved by such a Qi Yan?

She turned around, looked at him, and said with a smile, "I hope we can look back on the years and grow old together with deep affection."

Qi Yan, listen to me. I didn't have time to get involved in your past, but I will be with you to the end in your future."

His deep eyes suddenly lit up and his brows relaxed, as if a string in his heart was touched, making him overjoyed.

Qi Yan: —You don’t need to know that you are in my wish with my clasped hands.

Although this life is short, what joy is there without you!

May we all have peace and prosperity in this life.

Qi Yan smiled slightly, took Lu Zhihuan's hand, and left the palace together. Their figures gradually disappeared into the night, leaving behind a beautiful memory.

The Queen Mother saw this and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "Yan'er has always been calm and composed since he was young, and he never fights for anything. Back then, I never dreamed that he could sit in this position.

When he ascended the throne, he told me that this was the only way to save my life and my mother's. At that time, he was completely absorbed in state affairs. Seeing that he was getting older, I suggested that he marry a queen, saying that his position was unstable and he needed to stabilize the court. He said that he didn't need a woman to maintain his position.

I even laughed at him, calling him young and frivolous. It was also because I had mentioned it so many times that he didn't object and left it to me to make the decision. His only requirement was that people must enter the palace voluntarily. Maybe he said that because he felt he was dull, cold, and boring!

Moreover, he would not allow me to stuff so many people into the harem, which caused chaos and disorder. Later, there was no movement in the harem, and every time I selected someone, he had no choice but to accept them.

More than ten years have passed, and there is still no good news. I have shed countless tears, but now the suffering is finally over and the happiness is finally coming.

But all of this was almost destroyed by my own hands!" The Queen Mother's voice choked with sobs.

Aunt Xiuzhi patted the Empress Dowager's hand. After so many years of master and servant, she knew the Empress Dowager's temperament too well. "What are you talking about, Your Majesty? It's New Year's Day, why are you still bringing up these things? You're starting to dwell on this again. To be frank, it was you who brought His Majesty and Concubine Zhao together today. Why are you only talking about their faults and not their merits? Don't you think so? You have to look at the bright side of things and think about it in a positive way."

On this joyous occasion, the Empress Dowager forced herself to hold back her tears and echoed her words, "You're right. Yan'er has changed so much in the past year! These are the joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness that a normal person should experience. This is how life becomes meaningful! I am grateful to Concubine Zhao from the bottom of my heart."

……

After the Spring Festival, even the country's top leader had to take a few days off, not to mention that the pregnant woman was about to give birth. During these days, Qi Yan also wanted to spend some time with her.

There was another banquet in the palace on the first day of the Lunar New Year. "Banquet, banquet, banquet, and another banquet. Why are there so many banquets in a year?" Lu Zhihuan came out to get some fresh air and pulled the fur of her cloak out of boredom. She turned her head and her eyes lit up.

Lu Zhihuan [Everyone, look! My son-in-law is here! Let me see him, conjoined with the placenta.]

996【…】

Yingyue and Hongyou helped her walk towards the heroine. She looked at the heroine's seven-month pregnant belly, which was small, round and cute.

She looked down at her belly again. It was twice the size of the heroine's and it was very uncomfortable to look at.

She walked like a penguin, very slowly. But the heroine was still very brisk, and her wheelchair was spinning like sparks, so frightened that the Night King flew in front, and his soul was chasing after him, and he kept saying "slow down, slow down".

The heroine came up to her in a few steps, and the two of them greeted her: "Greetings to Her Majesty the Concubine Zhao."

"Night King, Night Princess, please excuse me."

Lu Zhihuan said with a teasing expression, "Princess Ye, you're over seven months pregnant, right? You should be more careful. Look how worried His Highness Ye Wang is."

【Why is he still in a wheelchair? 】

996 [Didn't the envoys from Duanmu Kingdom come to borrow troops? On the surface, they were here to borrow troops, but in reality, they were here to test their strength. They dared not act rashly. According to the plot, they will stir up trouble at the border in half a year, and the hero will send troops to suppress them again.]

Liu Qingqing rolled her eyes at Ye Lingchen and said, "You keep telling me this and that all day long. I don't have any freedom at all. It's so frustrating."

She looked at Lu Zhihuan's big belly.

"Oh my goodness, I feel my belly is heavy even when I'm pregnant with one child. You two are really having a hard time." Look, you need two people to support you when you walk, otherwise you will fall forward.

Before the other party could finish a few words, Eunuch De came out and said, "Oh my God, my God! His Majesty has sent this old servant to look for you! If you don't go back, His Majesty will come out to look for you himself!"

"Hey! This old servant pays his respects to His Royal Highness the Night King and His Majesty the Night Princess. It's quite cold out here, let's go back together!"

Ye Lingchen nodded.

Lu Zhihuan was still talking about other people, but he had just come out and hadn’t walked far when he was called back!

The two pregnant women looked at each other.

Yes, we share the same suffering.
