Hua Yan didn't take the birthday banquet at Prime Minister Zhao's residence seriously and slept until the sun was three poles high before waking up.
Upon hearing some noise, Qiuyue pushed the door open and entered the room. Seeing that Hua Yan had woken up but was still lazing in bed, she said, without speech, while picking up the mosquito canopy, "Miss, it's getting late. If you don't get up and start getting ready now, we'll miss the opening time for the birthday banquet at the Zhao Residence."
Hua Yan stretched and said comfortably, "Has the Crown Prince left?"
Qiuyue shook her head and whispered, "The Crown Prince has been waiting for you in the gallery hall outside for more than an hour to have breakfast together. Seeing that you were not getting up, he began reading a book."
Hua Yan then sat up and glanced at the sunlight pouring in through the window, estimating that it was nearly the hour of si.
