Qin Qianlu walked out gracefully in a gorgeous and exquisite dress made of top-quality brocade, which felt soft and silky to the touch.

Embroidered with intricate and delicate patterns, every stitch and thread embodies the embroiderer's painstaking efforts, and shines brightly in the sunlight.

The collar and cuffs were inlaid with crystal-clear gemstones, which shimmered with a captivating light as she moved.

Her hair was styled in a high bun, and she wore a crown symbolizing her status as a prince. Every accessory perfectly complemented her noble demeanor.

With a radiant smile on her face, as bright and beautiful as a flower blooming in spring, she chatted gracefully and calmly with the guests who had come to the banquet.

Her voice was soft and pleasant, and every word she spoke felt like a gentle breeze.

She exuded extraordinary poise in every gesture, handling herself with ease whether communicating with members of the royal family, exchanging pleasantries with court officials, or conversing with dignitaries from all walks of life.

Once the guests had all arrived, Luo Qi'an straightened his clothes. He was wearing a well-tailored long robe with a jade belt around his waist, making him look exceptionally smart.

He stepped forward steadily, his posture upright like a pine tree, his steps firm and powerful. A warm smile graced his face, and his eyes revealed sincerity and joy.

His voice was clear and loud, carrying distinctly through the lively banquet: "Distinguished members of the imperial family and pillars of the court."

And to all the distinguished guests who have graced the Prime Minister's residence with their presence today, I extend my greetings!

Today, the Prime Minister's residence is adorned with magnificent halls and filled with distinguished guests, truly a grand occasion for our dynasty.

On this auspicious occasion, we gather here to celebrate the birthday of Prince Qin Qianluo, the Prince of Jinrui Zhao.

The prince is exceptionally gifted, possessing both virtue and talent. In the imperial court, he has the world in his heart, strategizing and planning with wisdom, analyzing current affairs with insightful thinking, and making decisive decisions far ahead.

Whenever national affairs were of great importance, the prince would always step forward, offer advice and suggestions, and turn the tide, devoting himself wholeheartedly and tirelessly to the stability of the country.

Among the common people, the prince also cared deeply for them and was kind-hearted. He often traveled lightly and simply to the countryside to visit the poor and inquire about their hardships, and to perform many good deeds.

They built bridges and roads, established schools and promoted education, rescued people from fire and water, and relieved them from dire straits.

His benevolence extended to all who were grateful, and his virtuous name was widely praised in the streets and alleys.

The prince's achievements are illustrious and his noble character is admired by all, making him a role model for us all.

On the occasion of His Highness's birthday, we sincerely pray that His Highness's brilliance will endure like the moon and that his blessings will continue like the rising sun.

May you have good fortune every year, happiness at all times, and everything go smoothly. May you be blessed with boundless good luck.

We also hope that Your Highness will continue to lead us in the years to come, to achieve great things together, to create new glories, and to write an immortal chapter for the prosperity of our dynasty and the well-being of all people.

At this moment, I am honored to announce the official commencement of the grand birthday banquet for Prince Jinrui Zhao, Qin Qianluo! May you all enjoy this joyous occasion to the fullest!

Qin Qianluo sat quietly to the side, listening attentively to Luo Qi'an's speech, which was full of praise.

Each word, like a warm current, flowed through her heart.

However, as the words of praise continued to reach her ears, she felt a heat quickly spread across her face.

Like peach blossoms blooming in spring, her face gradually flushed red without her realizing it.

Recalling the initial arrangements, she had originally planned to have the experienced and capable steward of the Prime Minister's residence take on the important task of delivering the opening speech.

All the details have been finalized, and everything is ready to proceed as planned on the day of the banquet.

However, things took an unexpected turn, and Minister Luo Qi'an suddenly volunteered for the mission.

This sudden change was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, leaving Qin Qianlu somewhat at a loss.

She felt awkward and uneasy, after all, she was still young and in front of so many nobles and high-ranking officials.

Having the high-ranking and powerful Minister of State personally deliver the opening speech for her birthday banquet put her under immense pressure, as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on her heart.

However, Luo Qi'an remained resolute and showed no sign of backing down. Qin Qianluo repeatedly tried to persuade Luo Qi'an to change his mind with kind words, but he remained unmoved.

Not only that, Qin Xiang also nodded in agreement.

Seeing that her father had already agreed, and looking at Luo Qi'an's persistent expression, Qin Qianluo really couldn't refuse any longer.

She bit her lower lip lightly, sighed softly, and had no choice but to agree.

Qin Xiang was actually very clear about the deeper intentions behind Luo Qi'an's actions.

A few days ago, Qin Qianluo indirectly saved Li Yangming, a student whom Luo Qi'an valued highly.

That student was exceptionally talented and was considered a promising talent by Luo Qi'an, holding extraordinary significance for him.

Since then, Luo Qi'an has always kept this kindness in his heart and has been looking for an opportunity to repay it.

This birthday banquet for Qin Qianluo was like a timely rain, providing him with the perfect opportunity to express his gratitude.

He hoped that by personally delivering the opening remarks at Qin Qianluo's birthday banquet, he could make Qin Qianluo clearly aware of his gratitude.

This also showed everyone present how much he valued this kindness, and made them understand that Luo Qi'an was a person who knew how to be grateful and repay kindness.
