Chapter 66 - The New Year

After Chu Yi Chen left the palace, he rode his horse all the way back to the mansion and rushed straight into the bedroom.

The five imperial physicians were still standing in the courtyard, discussing countermeasures. When they saw that he had returned, they all wanted to greet him respectfully. However, he rushed into his bedroom like a gust of wind, completely ignoring them.

Ye Jingxuan was guarding Zhuo Qingyan's bedside. Looking at Zhuo Qingyan's face, which was flushed red from fever and her eyes were tightly shut, his heart rose to his throat.

He asked Ye Jingxuan, ”Why aren't you awake yet?”

”How can I wake up without taking the antidote? The people outside are still guarding the door, do you want to expose yourself?” Then wouldn't this girl have suffered for nothing? ” Ye Jingxuan glared at him.

When Chu Yi Chen heard this, he was right. He turned around and had his doctors sent away. He then ordered his servants to not enter the palace unless there were a few people present.

After the time it took for half an incense stick to burn, Zhuo Qingyan's face returned to normal and she opened her eyes.

Seeing Chu Yi Chen place the imperial edict and the written imperial edict in her hands, her smile became especially beautiful.

However, everyone on scene was not in a good mood, especially Chu Yi Chen. This girl truly moved them. For him, they could use their lives to joke around.

Yan Li, Jiang Siyue and Ye Jingxuan all sighed at the same time. In order to fulfill his wish, Little Princess was really giving it her all.

This matter naturally frightened Zhuo Qingfan. The moment he arrived, he pulled Zhuo Qingyan along and looked down from the top, from left to right. Only when he saw that she was really fine did he feel truly relieved.

And right now, in three days' time, the new year was coming. After asking for Chu Yi Chen's consent, he also decided to stay in the mansion and celebrate the new year together.

For Zhuo Qingyan, this was the first Spring Festival since she came here.

Moreover, this was the first Spring Festival since Ling Mansion had an imperial concubine, so it was naturally different. At the same time, it was also the last year in the capital.

Fober's face was hung with smiles all day long, and red lanterns were all hanging around the residence, looking extremely joyous.

At the same time, Chu Yi Chen had already written to the Emperor that because the Princess Ling had recovered from her severe illness, she wouldn't enter the palace during this year's Spring Festival.

The Emperor naturally understood what was going on and naturally secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He didn't want him to come to the palace to avoid another conflict. At that time, the one who would end up in trouble would be him, and at the same time, it would also arouse the dissatisfaction of the imperial clan.

On the 30th day of the new year, Zhuo Qingyan brought the new clothes to Zhuo Qingfan's room, watching him put them on with a smile on her face.

His mouth constantly praised his elder brother's handsome appearance, causing Zhuo Qingfan to blush in embarrassment.

When Chu Yi Chen called him back to his bedroom, she saw him dressed in an embroidered black robe, and couldn't help but pout: ”It's the new year, so you can't wear something like this. I remember that there's a purple robe among the new clothes sent by the Exquisite Workshop, isn't it better to trade for that?”

Chu Yi Chen looked at the figure that she was rummaging through the closet. With a gentle smile, she stretched out her hand and pulled her into her arms.

”Qingyan, it's been many years since this duke has had a New Year. It seems like it hasn't happened since my royal father and mother passed away. I spent my time with soldiers in the border trials a few years ago, so there's no need to be so formal …”

Zhuo Qingyan raised her head and looked at him, ”This is also the first time I've experienced such a year.”
