The Mid-Autumn banquet lasted a full two hours, and after three rounds of wine and five flavors of dishes, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor were clearly very happy today, they didn't leave early but stayed until the end of the banquet before dispersing with everyone.
After the banquet had dispersed, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor each returned to their palaces to rest, while Yun Chi, holding Hua Yan's hand, walked out of the palace gate.
Today, Hua Yan had drunk quite a bit, but it was still far from her limit. She observed Yun Chi closely, Yun Chi had drunk more than she had, and though there was no sign of it on his face, his grip on her hand was noticeably tighter than usual, and he spoke and walked more slowly.
