Capítulo 221: Chapter 219

Despite how much Xiao'er didn't want to perform, she accepted reality.

There was no need to offend the Emperor because of her reluctance, and things had not yet come to that.

"When is the Longevity Festival?" Xiao'er asked resignedly.

"At the end of November," Shangguan Xuanyi answered, giving Xiao'er a strange look.

"How come I didn't hear about the Longevity Festival last November?" She had been in the Imperial Capital during that time as well. They were preparing to return to Shengping County around mid-November, and the Emperor's birthday, a grand celebration, had arrived without any rumors.

"You didn't know?" Shangguan Xuanyi looked even more surprised.

He had assumed that everyone in the dynasty knew about this grand occasion. It only happened once every five years, and all the princes from different fiefdoms would come to the capital to wish the Emperor a long life. Other countries would also send ambassadors to pay tribute. It was a grand and splendid affair.
