Loyalty in the Time of Tyranny Chapter 134

As the night deepened, only the shadows of the flower petals and the dazzling moonlight could be seen.

The Banquet Spring Pavilion is located on the west side of the Imperial Garden, shaded by green trees. The windows are crystal glazed windows specially made by the Treasure Pavilion. The palace is brightly lit, and the light shining on the crystal clear windows makes it look even more dazzling. The ministers, dressed in official uniforms, took their seats one by one. On the left of the emperor sat the second prince Zhao Shang and the fourth prince Zhao Jing, while the fifth prince Zhao Ji sat on his right.

The officials sat down in order according to their ranks.

Adrian Tang sat neither too close nor too far away. On his left sat the chief academic officer of the Imperial College, and on his right sat a Hanlin scholar.

The banquet at Yanchun Pavilion cannot be considered a family banquet, but it is not far from it.
