Inside the main hall of the palace, Xiao Ming invited everyone to take their seats. On his right sat General Niu Ben, followed by Lu Fei, Luo Xin, and the other military officers. On his left were the civil officials, starting with Pang Yukun, then Zhan Xingchang, Chen Wenlong, and others. Altogether, over a hundred officials were gathered.

He stood and addressed the crowd, “Tonight is New Year’s Eve, and it brings me great joy to welcome all of you to the palace. Without you, this place would feel lonely.”
Lu Fei raised his hand with a grin. “Your Highness, it’s our honor to be invited to celebrate the new year with you.”
Li Kaiyuan chimed in cheerfully, “He’s right! To celebrate with Your Highness on New Year’s Eve? That must mean my ancestors are smiling down on me!”
Laughter filled the room.
