Not only did Xuan Yuan Anshui control the military on the battlefield, but he also held a prominent position in the court.
Xia Mang Guanyu walked into the grand hall, holding her mother's arm, and found it already filled with people.
Following the usual family banquet protocol, Xuan Yuan Anshui wouldn't have taken the main seat. However, today, he came by the decree of the Emperor, naturally occupying the central position.
"Third brother, please take your seat quickly!" Princess Anshui interrupted as people were about to bow.
Jian Wushuang sat in a nearby position, accompanied by several younger cousins.
Such banquets were superficial in nature.
After an hour, the various guests dispersed, and members of the Xuan Yuan family entered the secret chamber in the backyard.
Those qualified to be here included the local Xuan Yuan Five Tigers, the family patriarch Xuan Yuan Dapan, and several intimidating senior ancestors.
