Seeing the two holding hands, intimately chatting and laughing as they walked into the city, countless people simultaneously thought: These political players all have a thousand faces.

Within the walls of Jincheng Palace, lanterns adorned every corner and festive decorations were everywhere, a sight of unparalleled joy.

And King Ning had indeed prepared a banquet.

Of course, Li Chen was the undisputed main guest, and King Ning was the accompanying host.

Other officials of the royal court were seated below according to their rank.

Apart from them, some prominent aristocratic families within the Ning Wang fiefdom were also granted access to the banquet.

It can be said that this time, King Ning brought all the influential figures in his fiefdom before Li Chen to welcome and entertain him.

Whether it was the status of the guests attending the banquet or the grandeur of the event itself, everything was impeccable.

Li Chen sat in the middle, with King Ning on his left and a stunningly beautiful woman arranged by King Ning on his right. Judging by her appearance and demeanor, as long as Li Chen nodded, she could be stripped naked and lie on Li Chen's bed at any time.

This is exactly what the question is getting at, those who understand will understand.

Those who don't understand...have no right to be here.

As was customary, Princess Ning and the retinue of Prince Ning paid their respects to Li Chen before retiring. The banquet then officially commenced.

The stunning woman beside Li Chen kept leaning against him, calling him "Your Highness" sweetly and tenderly, personally serving him dishes and fruits. Li Chen accepted everything without refusing, showing no sign of politeness whatsoever.

King Ning was smiling broadly, his laughter echoing constantly. Coupled with the eloquence of several advisors in the palace, the atmosphere of the banquet continued to escalate to new heights.

After three rounds of wine and five courses of dishes, Prince Ning gently tapped his wine glass with his chopsticks.

The crisp clinking of chopsticks and wine cups was a delightful sound, not too loud to be jarring, yet enough to make everyone pause mid-sentence and turn their gaze towards the King of Ning.

Li Chen also smiled and put down his wine glass. His palm fell naturally onto the thigh of the woman beside him.

The woman leaned against Li Chen coquettishly, twisting her body as if acting spoiled. Li Chen laughed heartily, not shying away but becoming even more unrestrained.

At this moment, King Ning also spoke.

"Your Highness, are you satisfied with the arrangements for today's feast"

Li Chen nodded in admiration and said, “Quite satisfactory. This palace thought that the northwest was a harsh and desolate place with difficult conditions, so I was mentally prepared for hardship. Unexpectedly, the situation here at your manor is so prosperous and lively, and the supplies are abundant, not much different from the capital city.”

"However, Prince Ning said: 'Jin City can never compare to the prosperous lands of Central Plains, nor to the imperial capital of the world. Your Highness is too kind. To be frank, this banquet was hastily prepared by me after I learned of your arrival. It took countless days to gather these dishes.' "

After all, it is a bitter and cold land in the northwest. The common people are barely able to fill their stomachs. I am ashamed to have been granted such a territory. In my daily life, I have always been frugal. Every time I think of the hardships faced by the people, I find that even the food in my mouth has no taste.

Li Chen nodded upon hearing this and said, "Uncle Wang, your reputation is well-known. I've heard of it in the capital, and my father has mentioned you several times. Among all the vassal kings in the world, only Uncle Wang and King Wen of Jinling are known for their great virtue."

King Wen....

Seeing Li Chen comparing himself to Wen Wang, King Ning smiled thinly and pulled at the corner of his mouth. He said, "Wen Wang is different from me. His place is rich and prosperous, while mine only has sand."h the capital and reserves could afford to let the emperor slowly make mistakes and cultivate a qualified ruler.But now the Qin Empire does not have that foundation, nor does it have that time.It's fo...
