On the lunar New year eve, the Yu palace got filled with the members of the clan who came over for the reunion feast.
For the first time in her life, Li Juan's hands were filled with red packets from elders in her clan. Even though she was the queen, for them she was still a young woman and everyone who is older than her, were generous with their gifts.
After reunion dinner and fire works show, it took almost three in the morning for most of the relatives to get back to their own home.
Since it was a customary practice for children to stay awake on the new year eve for the longevity of their parents, Li Juan was the only one who was sent to the chambers to sleep.
However as soon as she climbed into the king sized bed, her cell phone rang with the name "Sun" on the screen. She jolted awake in happiness and attended the call without any delay.
"Happy new year honey,"
"Happy new year hubby,"
