While Amon's army was on the march to Oredolia, there was preparation in Golden Stone City's palace for a festivity. The festivity was to celebrate the queen's birthday. Ever since Yang Li was crowned a queen, Huang San had always celebrated her birthday by inviting all his family members. This was his attempt to make his family accept Yang Li as one of their own, despite her not being a noble. Now, when Huang San was away, Yang Li resumed the tradition.
She invited all of Huang San's brothers, sisters, and other close relatives, except Huang Er, Huang Zen, and Huang Ti, who joined the campaign to Oredolia.
The party would take place tomorrow. Yang Li oversaw the procedure. The first time her birthday was celebrated, Huang San left the task to palace retainers. In the second year, Yang Li insisted she oversaw the preparation. She argued that, since the festivity was for her, she wanted to be directly involved. Huang San let her do it every year after.
