Zhao Hao was quite surprised when he received the invitation.
This banquet was specially held to reward the soldiers defending Zhenbei City.
He doesn't even hold an official position now, so it is impossible for him to participate.
Even if he wanted to go, he would follow his father Zhao Wenxiang.
There is no way you are eligible to receive an invitation.
Princess Yongning said, "The reason why we were able to win the battle of Zhenbei City, and win so quickly, is all thanks to the thunder bomb you invented!"
"If even you are not qualified to participate, then no one is qualified!"
Zhao Hao quickly said modestly: "Your Highness, you are too kind. No matter how powerful the thunder bomb is, it is still the soldiers on the front line who will solve the problem in the end!"
"It was their sacrifice of their lives, their blood, and their courage that ultimately won the war. It has nothing to do with me!"
When Princess Yongning heard this, her beautiful eyes lit up.
If someone else said this, they would definitely be trying to gain fame and reputation.
But when it came out of Zhao Hao's mouth, it sounded so sincere.
It was even hard for her to imagine how a young man like Zhao Hao, who was not even eighteen years old, could be so humble.
Although it was a huge achievement, he did not take any credit for it.
With such qualities, how could he have done so many notorious things in the past?
The rumors are definitely mostly false.
As for being on the street...
I guess he was just drunk and unconscious.
Well, that must be it.
She smiled slightly and said, "My sister and I know exactly how great your contribution is. It was my sister who appointed you to attend the banquet."
"So don't worry about anything, just be on time for the banquet!"
Seeing her say that, Zhao Hao had no choice but to nod.
"Okay, I'll be there on time. Speaking of which, I also want to see with my own eyes those soldiers fighting bravely on the front lines."
He didn't lie.
Be it the past life or this life.
His respect for soldiers comes from the heart.
Two days later in the afternoon, 20,000 troops entered the city.
The common people came out with food and drink to watch and welcome them.
The scene is quite lively.
Zhao Hao also wanted to run out to take a look, but was blocked at the door by Princess Yongning.
"It's almost time, come with me to the palace."
Zhao Hao was surprised and asked, "Your Highness, isn't you arranging a banquet in the palace? How come you still have time to come out?"
Princess Yongning smiled and said, "We have already prepared everything at noon. If we are still preparing now, I am afraid we won't be able to start until midnight."
Zhao Hao agreed when he thought about it. After all, it was a royal banquet, and there should be a big difference between it and a dinner party at ordinary people's homes.
The two of them got in the carriage and entered the palace.
The banquet was held in Linde Hall.
When Princess Yongning brought Zhao Hao in, there were many palace maids and eunuchs in the hall who were making final preparations.
Zhao Hao saw that the entire hall was about fifty or sixty meters long from the innermost part to the entrance.
The innermost center position, of course, belongs to the queen.
There are nearly fifty rectangular tables on each side of the lower part.
There are some small tables behind the desk.
Zhao Hao knew what these small tables were used for.
If he hadn't received the invitation and had come with his dad.
Then he would not be qualified to sit at the front table, but would have to sit at the small table behind his father.
As the two came in, the palace maids and eunuchs who were serving fruits and fragrant tea immediately greeted them.
Princess Yongning said softly: "Guess where you are?"
Zhao Hao looked at both sides and shook his head, saying, "There are two categories: civil and military. I am neither civil nor military, and I don't even have an official position. This is a bit hard to guess."
Princess Yongning smiled and said, "You are right. When my sister and I asked for instructions, she thought about it for a long time."
As she spoke, she led Zhao Hao to the right side where the generals were, the last position near the door.
"My sister said that you invented the thunder bomb and helped the soldiers win the battle, so you should be listed among the military generals!"
"So, you sit here, but it's the last row."
"Don't be offended!"
Zhao Hao quickly shook his head and said, "How dare I be surprised? Your Majesty has already shown great favor by allowing me to be included in the main seat."
Princess Yongning pursed her lips and said, "I'm glad you're not angry. Then you look around here first. I'll go to the back to see how the preparations are going."
Zhao Hao nodded, watched the other party leave, and then looked around the Linde Hall.
Actually, there is nothing much to see in this hall except that it is large and has many pillars.
After just a few casual glances, he sat down in his seat.
He had just sat down when he heard two people talking at the door.
Zhao Hao turned his head and saw two acquaintances walking in, talking and laughing.
These two people were none other than Lu Huairen and Pang Zhen.
Zhao Hao saw them, and they also saw Zhao Hao.
But the moment he saw Zhao Hao, the smile on Lu Huairen's face instantly disappeared.
"Zhao Hao?"
"Why are you here?"
As the two men stepped in, Pang Zhen asked in a deep voice.
Zhao Hao smiled softly and said, "Of course I'm coming to the banquet like you guys!"
Lu Huairen glanced at where Zhao Hao was sitting, and immediately said with a sullen face:
"How dare you sit here?"
Pang Zhen on the side also reacted, nodded and said: "Yes, you are too brave, how can you sit in this position?"
When Zhao Hao heard this, he was immediately happy.
"It's the same everywhere. This seat is close to the door. I like it. Let's sit here!"
