Because the transportation of seafood requires time, and it's best to transport it in winter to ensure longer preservation, the Old Emperor immediately took He Lienuo's advice and set the date for this feast for the winter of the coming year.
He Lienuo laughed heartily, clapping his hands and saying, "It seems that next year I have a legitimate reason to come to Dayong to taste the delicacies again!"
Though it was said in jest, everyone was amused by his humor.
He Lienuo's enchanting phoenix eyes casually scanned the people in the grand hall, and when he saw Princess Cuiwei, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his eye.
This year's palace banquet should be one of the most lively in recent years, not only with the cooking competition but also with the antics of the Crown Prince of Xiliang.
Yet, even at such a lively and interesting feast, Princess Cuiwei always wore a cold demeanor, as if she had already excluded herself from the festivities.
