National Master Mansion.
Today, the National Master Mansion was resplendent with lights and festooned with bright red lanterns; the entrance was bustling with a continuous flow of people clad in brocade and adorned in jade, prestigious officials entering and leaving in a lively atmosphere.
Today was an important day for the National Master Mansion, marking the seventieth birthday of the State Preceptor, Nalan Yuan! Those invited to the feast were all prominent figures in the Imperial City.
"General Duanmu Zeyi has arrived to offer birthday congratulations!" At the gate, the young attendants would shout aloud the arrival of guests presenting their invitations, followed by someone keeping track of the gifts brought by the guests, then announcing loudly, "General Duanmu Zeyi presents a strand of East Sea Pearls!"
