"You still look beautiful" said the maid and friend of the Queen Mother who served her since the age of four.

"Hmm? You could have been Ji. This is the first time I attended the festival as a Queen Mother" the Queen Mother said as she picked up some of her jewelry.

"The blue color is very pretty under the moon night and the light of the lantern"Ji picked up the necklace and put it on the Queen Mother's neck.

"M. M. it seems so! Which concubine do you think will get pregnant first?"ask the Queen Mother to Ji.

"I don't know but from the schedule that you made Consort Chu the most turn. I think she will get pregnant first" said Ji who was still tidying up the Queen Mother's clothes.

"I want her to get pregnant quickly but Concubine Bai, Hui and Consort Tang also got a turn that many I hope they also quickly give offspring to this Dynasty" the Queen Mother replied, he sighed there was already one progress that his son wanted to touch the woman who was his Concubine.

"What about the Empress? Who knew she was pregnant" Ji said with a smile.

"Huh?! He..no way!"the Queen Mother said in a dismissive tone.

"Why is she a woman, why is it impossible?"ji said she might be a servant but the Queen Mother did not treat her like a servant but rather her own friend.

"Hmm.he and Xuan always quarreled it was impossible to do so" the Queen Mother said no one knew her secret of giving Liu Wen the barren medicine.

Dragon Residence

"All right!! My people today we will revisit the Lantern Festival to welcome the change of seasons and to prove the prosperity of this Empire!! Please enjoy with all your heart"The Emperor stood up and said a few opening words, of course the people rejoice because not only the nobles can enjoy it but this year the commoners are also allowed to attend the Lantern Festival.

"Woahh! It's pretty"

"Ehh.... Which empress?"

"Hey had not heard, the Empress performed the obligatory rituals of the palace and she decided she wanted to pray at the temple to have children"

"Ahh so unfortunately, several times our village was struck by hunger and the soldiers on behalf of the Empress gave us a lot of food, we were very helped"

"So, my village was also once helped but by a wealthy merchant named Mr. Yu"

"How can we have fun here, he even prayed to himself in a cold temple"

"Yes, you're so fucking right"

"The emperor was also sad to see his gloomy face"

Whisper the commoners, they regret Liu Wen who is not here.

"It seems like a lot of people miss you" said Meng smilingly looking towards Liu Wen.

"I'm famous for how else" Liu Wen said, twitching his shoulders.

"I go home first, please enjoy the show" the Emperor said he left the event and disguised himself to easily find Liu Wen.

"Chen we just split up, I've been undercover and it's very crowded, I don't think anyone will know that I'm an Emperor" the Emperor said, leaving without waiting for Chen's answer.

"You love the Empress very much" Chen said, looking at the Emperor's struggles, he immediately left as per the Emperor's instructions.

"Where are you Wen'er" said the Emperor, he traced through every Nobles Market, convinced Liu Wen was here. It was almost midnight and people were getting less and less but still he did not find Liu Wen.

"Wen'er.. have you indeed gone far" said the Emperor, he sat down and leaned against the wall holding his head that wanted to break because he was looking for Liu Wen where.

"Hey!! It's money to buy clothes, the rest to open their own business" said one woman who pityed the Emperor, patting the Emperor on the shoulder and throwing a bag of silver taels in front of him.

[Suspected Beggar]

"I am ta.." said the Emperor with a slight press of his words, he threw away any bag containing the silver tael.

"Ishh, yes it's anjir if you don't want to" said the woman, she took the rough bag and immediately left.

"Madam, she should have loved it, she was hungry" said a friend beside her.

"Meng, a selfless person like him need not be pitied" the woman said as she threw her face away.

"Wait" the Emperor said making the two women turn their heads.

"What!"said the woman fiercely.

"Wen'err.." murmured the Emperor, his smile expands even though the veil is not enough to cover the face that he had longed for.

"What's? I'm busy! Say what you want" Liu wen said lazily.

"I.."Until the Emperor spoke, he fell unconscious.

*This scene is quite familiar - inner Liu Wen, he held his chin and thought for a moment.

"Well!? Meng was I too cruel to scold her just now?"asked Liu Wen, he smiled clumsily looking at Meng.
