In the Longteng Palace, under the moonlight amid blooming flowers of the Imperial Garden, numerous court musicians were playing while several dancing girls danced gracefully.
Emperor Longteng and Empress Feng took their seats at the head of the gathering.
The Third Prince, along with Sikong Ran and Bai You, sat next to them, while on the other side was the mysterious guest from earlier at Taoyao Building, Boss Mu.
The banquet was filled with laughter and cheerful conversations.
"Indeed, Young Master Sikong is as exemplary as his reputation suggests, outstanding in both letters and martial prowess. Miss Bai is also deeply versed in her family's learning. Both are truly a talented couple gracing Longteng. It's Longteng's fortune to have talents like you."
After a few drinks, Emperor Longteng, slightly tipsy, spoke highly of Sikong Ran.
