Xing and Chenglei followed Prince Kang and Su Yunxi and after the arrival of Prince Kang and his Consort was announced, Chenglei was announced as Lord Li from Wind Kingdom, the official Envoy visiting here with his wife Lady Li.
Wow! Lady Li... It does have a nice ring to it! Xing was overjoyed. She looked at Chenglei to see his reaction and she feared if he'd correct the announcer but he didn't and was looking straight ahead. He held her hands with his fingers interlocking hers as if affirming that she is his wife and Xing's face bloomed with a smile adding to her allure.
The entire hall was neatly arranged with rows of short tables that would seat two persons and there were silk covered cushions on the carpeted floor to sit. They were seated in front of Prince Kang on the second row of the banquet Hall. Xing couldn't understand the logic behind such arrangement and all the seats were facing the Emperor.
