Translator: 549690339
Both shadow guards took the Spirit Pill and solemnly promised to give it to the Little Prince on time.
Within a month, they would definitely bring him back safely.
Su Qingluo smiled and tried to hold back her feelings of reluctance as she
comforted the Little Prince, persuading him to return to the palace to spend
the New Year with his parents.
While the Little Prince was attached to his Sister, he also missed his parents. He cried and clung to her for a long time before following the two secret guards and leaving Woniu Village reluctantly.
Before New Year’s Eve, he returned to the Imperial Palace, where he was reunited with his mother and father after a year apart.
The Empress was overjoyed to see her son, who had grown plump and fair in the countryside, with a much better appearance than before.
She was even more delighted to see him walk towards her without assistance, like a toddler just learning to walk, and shed tears of joy.
Immediately, she granted rewards to Su Hut s family.
Since the Little Prince’s treatment in Woniu Village was a top-secret matter, it could not be known to the public.
Thus, the rewards from Capital City were not delivered openly to Woniu Village but were sent to the Su Clan mansion in Mingshui County Town.
Su Ziqin knelt on behalf of her parents, thanked the emperor for his kindness, accepted the imperial decree and the rewards, and respectfully sent off the two imperial court ladies who had come to convey it.
The sixteen-year-old girl was humble and polite throughout, neither haughty nor humble, earning unanimous praise from the two female officials.
On New Year’s Eve, every household in Woniu Village was brightly lit and lively, filled with laughter and joy.
Su Hu’s house was particularly bustling. At the start of the New Year’s dinner, all seven rooms with tiled roofs were packed with people.
The living room for entertaining guests was filled with tables.
E ach of the large round tables capable of accommodating fifteen people was crowded with happy, joyful guests, enjoying a sumptuous feast.
Snacks for going with drinks, cooked dishes, cakes, melon seeds, and candies were set on the table beforehand.
The villagers grabbed handfuls of melon seeds, ate candies, and chatted cheerfully. Their sun-darkened faces were full of joyous smiles.
The aroma of meat wafted from the kitchen, where four large iron pots, each two meters in diameter, were filled with meat on bones, stewed with different vegetables.
Two daughters-in-law from the Village Chief’s House were also busy in their own kitchen, steaming dozens of cages of cabbage and meat buns, each cage holding thirty buns, enough for the entire village to eat.
Once all the dishes and wine were set, the Old Village Chief took the lead in raising his glass to express his gratitude to Su Hu and his wife, congratulating Su Zixuan on achieving top honors in the exam and bringing unprecedented glory to Woniu Village.
Villagers were enthusiastic and joined in with cheers, as the men who drank rose to toast to Su Hu.
Su Hu’s face was flushed with happiness, as he raised his glass, expressed his thanks, and downed it in one gulp.
The villagers cheered loudly, and the atmosphere immediately became lively on the first round of drinks.
The men competed in drinking games, while the women enjoyed the food with their children, laughing and chatting loudly.
“Pili-pala…”
Midway through the banquet, the children, who had already eaten, lit fireworks and set off firecrackers by the river bank, happily chasing and playing with each other.
Su Zixuan, Su Qingluo, Wang Meng, and the children from the village, wrapped in thick cotton clothes, braved the chilly winter night as they enjoyed setting off fireworks and firecrackers while playing freely.
As the clock struck midnight, the satisfied villagers began to return home one after another. Under the restraint of adults, the children also reluctantly went home.
Su Zixuan and Wang Meng took the initiative to shoulder the responsibility of cleaning up the tables and chairs, washing pots and dishes, and sweeping the courtyard.
Su Qingluo, being very well-behaved, stuck close to Li Xiu’e’s side, massaging her shoulders and waist to help her relax after her tiring day.
Li Xiu’e closed her eyes in comfort, feeling refreshed after the massage. Her sore shoulders disappeared, her spirit better than ever, and she couldn’t help but hug her precious daughter, not wanting to let go..
