Changle Palace is the place where celebrations and banquets are held. If it rains, the banquet will be held inside the building. If it is sunny, the banquet will be held in the courtyard outside the building.

The moon is high, stars are dotted, accompanied by a cool breeze, the moonlight cannot be more beautiful, and the night sky cannot be clearer. The general Gu Chaoen has made great contributions in repelling the enemy, and the emperor has honored you by hosting a banquet in Changle Palace. The third-rank civil and military officials

Twenty officials and eighteen people from each palace were present at the banquet.

In order to avoid attracting attention, Jingsu put a lot of thought into her dress, which was neither ostentatious nor unique enough to be eye-catching. She wore a moon-white Confucian skirt, aqua blue wide-sleeved cape, a high bun, and a silver hairpin.

.

Because of her status, she sat in the last seat to Chong Mo's left, which was quite far away from Chong Mo's golden chair. Several maids around her complained in low voices, but she felt comfortable and happy because she was far away from Chong Mo.

The beautiful girls were about to enter the palace, and she could feel their uneasiness, as well as her own, which was the timidity about the uncertainty of the future, and the sadness of not being able to control their own destiny.

"The Emperor has arrived!" Eunuch Man's passionate singing awakened her from feeling sad. When she came to her senses, the dazzling and gorgeous golden robe came into view. On the high platform, Chong Mo looked at his courtiers and women with a smile.

His pride.

The young emperor was high-spirited, his overly beautiful face was full of pride, and he looked down upon the world. He looked down at his ministers and women, his brows becoming more domineering.

"Where is the lonely general?" The voice was also full of joy.

"I'm here," a man walked in quickly. He was dressed in white and had dark hair. He had a handsome temperament and was only in his thirties.

The ministers knew the appearance of the solitary general, but the female relatives did not. Seeing that the man had a good appearance and temperament, they couldn't help but take a few more glances, and their eyes lingered everywhere, with a little more admiration.

Jingsu also raised her head to look at the person who came, seemingly casually, and the person who came was also looking at her. She smiled and followed his back forward, looking at the high platform in the distance.

"I am late, please forgive me, Your Majesty," Gu Chaoen bowed meticulously to apologize.

Zhong Moxu held up a hand and said, "General Gu has done great service in repelling the enemy. No need to be polite. I will give you a seat."

Eunuch Man came forward in person and led him to the first seat on the right hand side to take a seat. It was a great favor, but Gu Chaoen did not appear to be flattered. He just sat down as usual, his expression still calm. His demeanor was indeed that of a general.

Chong Mo saw this and became more and more fond of this general.

"Come, let me toast General Gu."

"I am terrified." Gu Chaoen stood up quickly, raised his jade cup high, raised his head and drank the wine from the cup.

Chong Mo's eyes flashed with sharpness, and then he laughed, "I heard that the solitary general was victorious, and Yiniang of Xinwu Fang specially choreographed a few dances. Now let's take a look, how is this dance?"

Yiniang was a skilled dancer in Mocheng, and many of the officials here had been her guests. However, a few years ago she was suddenly summoned to the palace by the emperor, and these people could no longer see her graceful dancing.

At this moment, when they heard Yiniang's name again, everyone couldn't help but smile with joy.

Unlike these men, all the female relatives showed a lack of interest, but Jingsu seemed a little excited, leaning forward slightly to look at the stage.

A row of about ten dancers dressed in red appeared one after another holding colorful streamers, some spinning and twisting, or lowering their waists and doing splits. The streamers in their hands were dancing like life, colorful and very festive.
