章節 716: Palace Banquet (2)

Before the banquet even started, Qi Haoran brought Little Bear around the venue and received countless praises and greetings.

Previously, they had only held a palace banquet during the new year. That time, because of their frugality, the palace banquet was not grand. Be it officials or their families, things were kept very simple. However, this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet doubled as a welcome banquet for the envoys of Dali. In addition, it would not be long before the conferment of Consort Xian and the Crown Prince. Therefore, the Emperor and the Empress were no longer as frugal as before, and this banquet was much more grand than before.

After the conferment of Consort Xian, the selection rounds of consorts would soon begin.

Those families with eligible daughters were tempted. Therefore, not only did they dress their daughters up beautifully for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, but they also tidied themselves up very well.
