October new moon, Cold Clothing Festival, although the curfew has been relaxed, there are not many people traveling at night. Occasionally, fireworks still linger in front of scattered doorways, cold wind breezing, carriages and horses pass through the city gates, unimpeded on their way.
Late at night, upon returning to the Prince Mansion, Qin Qingluo handed the sleeping Qin Yue to the nurse, but did not dine with Chen Yi. She still needed to attend to some political duties, thus she sent Chen Yi and Yin Weiyin away, instructed the maids to serve the meal. Chen Yi did not object, whereas the female crown felt somewhat regretful. If they had dined together, she might have seized the chance to strengthen her relationship with Qin Yue. She thought of a few magic tricks to amuse the child on the way, but unfortunately, there was no opportunity to use them.
