"Madam..." The young maid lit the brazier, attempting to bring a little warmth to the chilly hall.
But the poor-quality charcoal only made one's eyes water painfully; even Lu Xi felt that her breathing had become somewhat difficult.
Faint sounds of music drifted in from outside.
"Why is it so lively today?" Lu Xi took a breath and asked.
The young maid wiped her eyes and answered, "Today is the full month celebration of the Crown Prince's two young grandsons. The Emperor and Empress are hosting a grand banquet for the ministers."
The young grandsons' full month...
Lu Xi thought, somewhat absentmindedly, that she hadn't paid much attention to happenings in the Eastern Palace these past few months.
Voices of celebration came from outside, and the young maid quickly went out.
Muffled voices could be heard from outside, but Lu Xi couldn't make out what they were saying.
