The husband took the wine vat and poured wine for himself and Li Hongxiu.

He stood up and looked at everyone and said: "Tonight we are all relatives and close friends. Let's have a good time and drink. When the New Year's Eve comes, we will gather together in the building filled with flowers."

Hua Tianxia also opened a vat of wine, poured it for Hua Luoyu and himself, raised his glass and said: "I wish the soldiers of the imperial city a triumphant return, and I wish the national division a victory!"

Master, Ye Zhiqiu, and Lin Yueru poured wine one after another and stood up: "Son, take care, Ye'er, take care!"

Mu Mu pulled her two younger brothers and sisters to stand up, poured tea for the two little guys, and the three of them raised their glasses: "I wish my brother a good start and a speedy return!"

...

When the imperial guards in the building heard that the man playing the harp was on the third floor, they all wanted to go up to pay homage to him.

However, the passage door on the third floor was closed tightly. The waiter in the building followed Hua Luoyu's instructions and explained: "We are hosting distinguished guests from the palace tonight. It is inconvenient for all the soldiers to go up. Please forgive me."

"Tonight, your meals will be half-price for all the soldiers, and our host will treat you to drinks at no charge! Just treat the whole building as a farewell party for all the soldiers!"

A group of maids in the building patiently explained.

The soldiers in the corridor nodded and returned to their respective rooms.

Some young masters who knew the inside story whispered among the ladies: "I heard that the master of Hualou is hosting a banquet tonight for the whole family of the imperial master. The imperial master will go to southern Xinjiang with the imperial army tomorrow."

"So, the person who played the piano just now must be the Imperial Master, and the one who sang was naturally Sister Hua. Oh my God! The wild boy that night turned out to be the Imperial Master. You wild boys and wild girls are doomed!"

"I heard from my mother that the imperial concubine Dongfang Yu'er who was engaged to the second prince was originally the fiancée of the Imperial Master. Later, her mother found the Imperial Master and broke off the engagement. At that time, the Imperial Master was just a little boy..."

There is never a shortage of good deeds in the Imperial City. There is no shortage of meddlesome people. Without much effort, these so-called gossips spread among the restaurant clerks, maids, young masters, and young ladies. They spread all the way to the Imperial City the next day...

....

Tonight there is the feeling of separation from relatives who are reluctant to leave.

Tonight there is a feeling of farewell to a friend.

Tonight there is passionate and melodious music played by the Imperial Master and the Flower Butler.
