Everyone in the banquet room stood up and tried to get a glimpse of the fifth prince through the open doors. Xiao Moxian came into view in the courtyard. He walked up the steps and entered the first banquet room, where the male guests were. From where she was, Wang Jingyuan could hear bits and pieces of what he was saying to the guests—something about thanking everyone for coming to the banquet and asking everyone to eat to their hearts' content. Typical birthday banquet speech. Wang Jingyuan figured that Xiao Moxian would stay in the first banquet room; since the guests were separated by sex, the most he would probably do was to acknowledge the ladies from afar.
