Dayong has always had the custom of staying up all night to celebrate the New Year.
Not only would ordinary people gather their families together after family banquets to stay up all night long, but even the New Year's Eve banquets held in the imperial palace would include eating, drinking, watching singing and dancing until the New Year's Day arrived, and then let the ministers send New Year's greetings to the emperor as soon as possible in the new year.
This New Year’s Eve banquet is naturally no exception.
At three quarters past midnight, the singing and dancing in Zhaoyang Palace did not stop, and the sounds of stringed instruments and bamboo instruments could be heard all the time.
Emperor Henry had been in poor health for a long time, but he did not want the court officials to see his physical condition on such an important day, so he could only force himself not to leave early as in previous years.
