Sitting on the right are state officials such as Beijia, Zhizhong, and Zhubu, who are mainly responsible for managing local administrative affairs.
Further back were the high-ranking nobles of Shu capital, some of whom were locals and some of whom had migrated from the north.
"Captain Pei has arrived."
The butler arrived at the entrance of the hall and called out, "Captain Pei, followers are not allowed to enter the main hall. There is a banquet in the side hall. Please follow me."
Pei Yun didn't expect there was such a rule, so he could only let Leng Qingqiu, Xu Zong and the housekeeper go to the side hall.
Xu Zong was a little unhappy. He thought he could meet the prince, but he didn't expect that he couldn't even enter the main hall.
Pei Yun stepped into the main hall, and everyone inside immediately looked at him. Xiao Cheng also looked at Pei Yun. The other party was well-dressed and had a tall and straight body, which gave him a good first impression.
Yuan Zheng stood up and called Pei Yun over. There was an empty seat next to him, so he pulled Pei Yun to sit down and whispered, "Why are you here so late?"
Pei Yun said: "I'm not familiar with the road, so I'm late."
Yuan Zheng was speechless. Didn't he know to scout the way and prepare in advance? This was a celebration banquet held by the prince. Everyone came early just to leave a good impression on the prince. But you came so late.

Xiao Cheng raised his wine glass and said, "You have all made contributions to the expulsion of the southern barbarians and the protection of Yizhou. Come, let's drink this cup together!"
Everyone stood up and drank the wine.

In the side hall, Leng Qingqiu and Xu Zong found it difficult to swallow. What the hell was this food?
The food in the palace is so bad? It's not even as good as the breakfast Pei Yun gave them.
Leng Qingqiu was extremely disappointed. A big part of the reason she came here was because she thought there must be good food in the palace. But when she got here, she found that it was not what she thought.
If it were in the past, she might have enjoyed the food with gusto, but after spending almost half a month with Pei Yun, her taste had become spoiled. What made her even more annoyed was that the followers in the side hall all looked at her with lustful eyes.
There were also people who came up to ask for her name. If it wasn't for the wrong place, she would have wanted to get angry.
When she was dressed as a killer before, no one dared to ask her name. But how come she lost herself after following Pei Yun?
"Cold girl."
Just when he was about to go outside to get some fresh air, he heard a voice. He looked up and saw Xiao Zhiruo and Qinghe passing by the side hall.
