The kitchen was bustling, but finally, the banquet started at 7:45 AM.
Most of the guests attending today's banquet were familiar with the Crown Prince's face.
Zhao Xi didn't want to stay long; after handing over his gift, he left with Eunuch Sanbao through the back door before the banquet began.
The male and female guests were separated, and Wen Wan put away the jade pendant of unknown origin in a box, instructed the nurse and Yun Cai to stay at Qingteng Residence to take care of Qi Bao, and then she brought Jinbao out to entertain the guests.
On the way, Wen Wan asked Jinbao, "Where is the teacher?"
Jinbao replied, "The teacher is in the room."
"Did you ask him to come out for the feast?"
"I asked, but the teacher said he wouldn't come."
"Forget it, then." Wen Wan sighed, "I'll ask someone to send him food later."
