Shen Qingxi's cheeks were still hot when she came down from the upper floor. She took a few steps and looked back. She saw Chu Ye still standing upstairs and looking at her with deep eyes. Shen Qingxi's heartbeat was pounding. The two looked at each other for a moment. Shen Qingxi then turned around and walked towards the direction of Jinxiu Palace. She left for a while, so she naturally couldn't appear with Chu Ye, so she went back first.

When they walked around Jinxiu Hall, they saw that there were not many people outside. Most of them entered the hall to sit down. Shen Qingxi tidied up her skirt and walked in calmly. As soon as she entered the door, two eyes immediately looked at her, one from Song Ze and the other from Chu Qi. Shen Qingxi looked at Song Ze, smiled slightly, and then sat obediently next to the old lady.

The old lady whispered, "Where did you go? Why did you come back so long?"

Shen Qingxi said embarrassedly, "I walked to the back and almost got lost. Fortunately, I didn't waste time."

There were still people coming in at the door, and it was not too late. The old lady stroked the messy hair in her ears, "There are still many people who haven't come. The prince hasn't come, so there's no need to worry."

Shen Qingxi then looked up and saw that among the princes, only the second prince Chu Qi and the fifth prince Chu Yue, arrived, and no one else came. She felt a little relieved. At this moment, she didn't want others to know that she and Chu Ye had a private relationship.

As soon as the thought came to an end, everyone was looking at the door. Shen Qingxi also looked back and saw that the third prince Chu Ni had arrived.

The third prince was a nobleman, and immediately some ministers stood up to salute. Chu Nie smiled and waved his hand, "Today's New Year's Eve, everyone doesn't have to be too polite. The father and mother should be coming soon, so everyone just sit down."

As soon as he finished speaking, another figure entered the hall gate. It was Chu Ye.

Chu Ye's appearance also caused quite a stir. Many people stood up to salute. Chu Ye waved his hands and entered the seat in a very low-key manner. Shen Qingxi followed everyone to look at Chu Ye, which was not very strange. Chu Ye had never looked at her since entering the door, but after he sat down, he finished talking with others, but suddenly turned around and looked at her. In an instant, Shen Qingxi felt something moving in his heart.

Chu Ye smiled slightly and withdrew his gaze.

At this moment, the eunuch shouted loudly, and the emperor and the empress were finally coming!

On New Year's Eve, both the emperor and the empress were wearing crown clothes and palace clothes. The prince and the princess followed them out, and were extremely honored. Everyone stood up and knelt down to salute, and then stood up amid the emperor and empress's disrespect. The prince and the princess stood beside the empress. Although they had not reached the highest position, they still felt a sense of honor that they were above and were about to rule the world.
