As soon as the words fell, all the ministers in the room, whether they were willing or not, raised their glasses and said in unison: "Cheers to the general!"
Xing Bang quickly picked up the cup and stood up, "Your Majesty, no!"
Then he faced all the ministers and said in a loud voice: "I have made some contributions in this trip to the north, but no matter how great the contributions are, they are all due to your Majesty's great fortune and your ability to judge people."
"So, this first cup should be toasted to Your Majesty. We should all be grateful for Your Majesty's kindness in recognizing our talents."
"General, what you said is absolutely right. Your Majesty is wise!"
The ministers spoke again in unison.
Liu Xian's face was full of joy. He was naturally very happy that Xing Bang gave him such face.
"In that case, let's do as the general said. Let's drink this cup together and wish our Great Yao prosperity."

Liu Xian drank the first glass, "Hui Er, the Queen and her two concubines, you must drink this glass of wine to the full!"

Afterwards, Liu Xian said in a clear voice: "Today I am particularly happy, and we, the monarch and his subjects, should not worry about so many empty formalities."
"There is only one rule, my dear ministers, enjoy yourself!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Afterwards, the atmosphere in the venue became cheerful, and the civil and military officials below became excited.
Xing Bang turned his head and smiled: "Okay, don't hold it in, eat something quickly."
Liu Hui nodded, picked up the grapes in front of her and ate a few of them. It was obvious that they were still a little spicy in her mouth.
Xing Bang accidentally exchanged a glance with Empress Xiao, and she naturally had a hint of affection in her eyes, but there seemed to be some resentment and unhappiness in her expression...
