Yellow Leaves and the White Chess Piece

The General's Mansion did not prepare delicacies for the banquet tonight. The long table set in the courtyard between the autumn trees was dark. And on it, were several normal dishes that held an awe-inspiring aura. There were not many servants by the table either. Instead, Xia Hou's two sons were the one arranging the dishes on the table. This was very different from the rumored extravagance that General Xia Hou enjoyed.
The entire Chang'an was watching the banquet. However, the atmosphere at the banquet was not as hostile as what some imagined. Xia Hou and Ning Que sat at opposite ends of the table and ate quietly. They would occasionally talk about the Wilderness and what had happened in the Front Gate.
The simple banquet ended simply. The maidservants streamed in one after another and removed the dishes silently. Then, they brought two azure teapots.
