Last year's New Year's Eve, Li Nuo spent at King Chun Mansion.
At that time, there were only three people in the family, and even during the New Year, there was no festive atmosphere.
In contrast to the bleakness of last year, this year's Li Mansion was much livelier.
Anning had joined the family, and Yiren stayed at Li Mansion for the New Year. At the invitation of his wife and Anning, Phoenix hadn't returned to the Jade Sound Pavilion. She even invited Nightingale over, and together, they all hung couplets and lanterns, finally giving Li Mansion the semblance of a New Year...
The New Year started with three consecutive days of grand court meetings.
Li Nuo, holding a Standard Fifth Rank official position, now had the qualifications to participate in the court meetings, and his attendance was mandatory every year.
At the court meeting, Li Nuo saw the Xia Emperor again.
He looked much younger than he had a few months ago.
