The day after biting and losing one of the emperor's front teeth, Zhao Yao lost another one.
Without front teeth, it really looks ugly.
The good mood from not having to study suddenly disappeared.
Zhao Yao decided to speak less until his new teeth grew in. However, the Fourth Prince, the Eighth Prince, and even the emperor particularly enjoyed teasing him to speak and laugh.
The Fifth and Ninth Prince also teasingly mocked Zhao Yao seeing his two missing front teeth.
Even He Lianfang laughed at him.
Zhao Yao had become numb to the laughing and simply decided to let it go.
Amidst Zhao Yao's frustration, New Year's Eve arrived.
There are many New Year traditions in the palace. Last year, Zhao Yao did not participate in the palace New Year activities because he was ill.
On New Year's Eve, with the sky just starting to brighten, Zhao Yao was woken up by Tong Xi. After washing up, Zhao Yao followed Liang Zhaoyi to Zhonghua Palace for the sacrifices.
