Time flies, and it's another New Year.

There was still no dinner on this year’s New Year’s Eve, and it was even simpler and lonelier than last year.

There were only Empress Dowager Nanyan and her four children. Although they were talking and laughing at the dinner table, they were all missing that man in their hearts.

Nan Yan missed her husband, the Queen Mother missed her son, and the four children missed their father.

But he didn't show it on his face, for fear that the people present would feel sad when thinking about that person.

After having their meal in the Cining Palace for a while, when the two little ones were so sleepy that they were about to fall asleep, Nan Yan took them back.

Back in the palace, Nan Yan lay on the bed after taking a bath. She felt the room was lonely and the loneliness around her seemed to rush towards her.

This was the first New Year's Eve that Nan Yan spent without Shang Yue after she met him.

"Ayue, what are you doing now?"

She murmured.

[Host, are you asking me? ]

Before Nan Yan could speak, the system said, [Host, Shang Yue is drinking with your uncle, brother, and generals! ]

"Okay, I get it now."

Nan Yan's tone was sour when she said these words.

"I miss him here, but he is very happy over there."

The system was tactful and did not say anything. Although it was a system, it also knew that women should not be provoked at certain times, so it was better to keep silent.

Nan Yan tossed and turned on the bed, unable to fall asleep. In the middle of the night, she sat up from the bed and pulled down the bed curtains to block the view from the bed.

"System, has Shang Yue returned to his room?"

[Replied, he...]

The system wanted to say that he drank too much in the evening and went to bed after taking a shower, but was interrupted by its host before he could finish.

"Then can you take me there and hide it from the secret guards?"

【……Can. 】

"Then take me there quickly." I want to spend this year's New Year's Eve with him too!

[Then host, get ready. I will send you over right away. ]

"Good, good, good."

In the blink of an eye, Nan Yan landed on Shang Yue's bed, and a familiar smell instantly lingered at her nose.

She turned her head and saw that the man had his usual deep eyes closed, his thin lips tightly pursed, and his breathing was very regular.

It turned out that he had fallen asleep.

Nan Yan gently lifted the quilt and moved in. When she got close to the man, she put her arms around his waist, leaned on his chest and closed her eyes.

The man's eyelids moved slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes, with a hint of drunkenness in his eyes.

He lowered his eyes to look at the woman leaning on his chest, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as gentle as the breeze.

"Yan'er, did you come to my dream tonight?"

"I am really happy."

When Nan Yan heard the man's voice, she was about to look up to explain to him that she was not dreaming, but as soon as she looked up, her breath was held by the man.

The hot breath instantly swept through the whole body.

"Ayue...um...listen to me..." The drunk man could not listen to her words.

...After a long drought, a shower of sweet rain...

Before Nan Yan fell asleep in the man's arms, she muttered to the system, "Send me back."

In the morning, when Shang Yue woke up, he found that his pajamas had fallen to the ground and he was naked.

He was startled and sat up suddenly, with the quilt sliding off, revealing his sturdy waist and smoothly-defined abdominal muscles.

When he looked down, he saw several red scratches on his chest, very similar to the ones Yan'er had left on him before.

"It turns out that I wasn't dreaming last night. It was real smoke."

He thought he was dreaming, so he went a little crazy.

Yan'er must be exhausted. I don't know how she is doing or whether she is angry.

Shang Yue now deeply regretted drinking too much last night. He should have drunk less if he had known earlier.

Nan Yan, who was worried about by Shang Yue, was still sleeping soundly on the bed!

In Changle Palace, people who usually got up before Si time were still not up at almost noon, and no one knew when the bed curtains that were hung last night were taken down, which made the palace people a little worried.

At the urging of the palace servants, Ginkgo lifted the bed curtain and saw Nanyan was still sleeping soundly, and she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

She let down the bed curtains and walked out quietly, saying to the concerned faces, "It's okay, the queen is sleeping! Maybe she slept too late last night."

"It turns out that the queen is still sleeping. I thought something had happened! I was scared to death."

Gingko frowned and said, "Keep your voices down. If you have anything to say, go outside. The queen is still sleeping. It would be bad if you wake her up. Go out now."

Ginkgo drove everyone out of the hall, closed the door, and stayed in the hall waiting for Nanyan to wake up.

Nan Yan slept until the afternoon.

When she woke up, the bed curtains were drawn and it was pitch black inside. Nan Yan felt as if she had no idea what day it was.

She stretched out her hand to lift the bed curtain, but as soon as she moved, she felt a sudden pain in her waist, and she couldn't help but hiss in pain.

This bastard almost tore her apart last night. A man who hasn't eaten meat for several months is really scary.

Gingko, who was outside, heard the sound and quickly got up and walked in, "My Lady, are you awake?"

"Hmm." As soon as she spoke, Nan Yan heard her voice was unusually hoarse.

"My lady, are you sick?"

"Cough! No, my throat is just a little dry. Please pour me some warm water."

"It's the lady."

Nan Yan was just about to ask Ginkgo to lift the bed curtain when she suddenly thought of the madness of last night. He must have left a lot of marks on her body, and she couldn't let others find out, otherwise it would be difficult to explain.

"Your Majesty, I'll bring you some warm tea." She would not lift the bed curtain without Nan Yan's order.

Nan Yan stretched her arm out from the gap, quickly took the tea from Ginkgo's hand, and retreated into the bed curtain.

Her movements were so fast that Ginkgo could not help but be stunned. Suddenly, he thought of his own wife's arm that flashed by. There seemed to be many red spots on that delicate and white arm, like mosquito bites.

Oh no, it's like the mark left by the emperor when he was with the empress.

As soon as the thought came into her mind, she immediately shook it off.

bah bah bah!

The emperor is not in the palace, how could there be such a mark on the queen? I must have seen it wrong.

Nan Yan drank the warm tea in the cup, and her throat finally felt a little better.

She didn't know what Ginkgo was thinking outside the bed curtains, so she said, "Go out first! Close the door and prepare some food."

"It's the lady."

After hearing the sound of the door closing, Nan Yan dared to open the bed curtain and walk out. When she looked down, she saw that her whole body was in a terrible state, and she cursed the man inwardly.

She chose a set of clothes with a collar to cover up the marks left by the man, and then called the palace maid in to do her makeup.

After settling her empty stomach, Nan Yan felt sleepy again. However, dinner would be in another hour. If she fell asleep now, she would have to sleep until midnight.
