The Mu Family's old residence.
In the Hall of Deliberation.
At this moment, the hall was teeming with distinguished friends, with esteemed guests filling the seats, toasting and drinking – a scene brimming with joy and celebration.
Only the rich or noble could enter this hall, and they were at least renowned figures from the three southeastern states or exceptional magnates from the Imperial Capital.
For example, Zhu Guangbo and Bai Yunfei, despite their statuses, could only find seats in the most unobtrusive corner, right by the entrance.
Even Bu Hongwei, the head of the Qingzhou War Department, could only sit at the very end.
In front of them were either white-haired elders wearing traditional Tang suits or men and women exuding authority in their black uniforms.
There were even a few Great Xia Three-Star Generals, bearing three stars on their shoulders, who could only take places in the middle.
