The 9th day of the 11th month in winter is Bai Zhi'er's birthday.
To celebrate with his daughter, Bai Xilie specially postponed all government affairs during the day.
The Princess is different from others; she needs to hold a coming of age ceremony.
The ceremony calculated by the ritual officer is eight days later.
So today, all family and friends are simply celebrating Bai Zhi'er's birthday.
After the day's festivities, Bai Zhi'er did not forget her Black Snake Xiaoli.
She performed a divination this morning and knew today was the day Xiaoli would undergo a tribulation and ascend.
If he fails to pass this barrier, Xiaoli may lose a thousand years of cultivation.
Thus, in the evening, she planned to leave the palace to see Xiaoli so she could return early and join the friends and family for a festive dinner.
Feng Fuce had gone out to execute official duties early in the morning and would also return before dinner.
