The food at this restaurant is quite good, and there are probably other people with the same idea, so the restaurant is bustling with people and business is booming. If you hadn't booked a private room in advance, you might not have been able to cut in line.
They were also quite lucky; most of those who came out to play during the Shangsi Festival were young men and women just beginning to experience love and were still innocent and naive. Not many of them could walk in front of Emperor Kangxi.
