Mingyue Tower was brightly lit in the wind and snow, with music and songs playing continuously, bustling with activity.
The residence where Chu Zhiyuan was located wasn't far from Mingyue Tower, and it was also brightly lit at this time.
Under the fierce wind, strings of lanterns swayed violently, occasionally being tossed up as if they would be torn into the sky at any moment.
Chu Zhiyuan stood at the courtyard gate to welcome guests.
Guo Chi and his three companions surrounded him, keeping the wind and snow at bay.
Zou Fang was busy inside and outside, directing the Prince Mansion's attendants to serve up and down, fulfilling the role of the chief steward.
Chu Mingxuan and his group arrived soon, and the Princes and Heirs from the entire Mingwu Hall were all present, suddenly filling the residence with liveliness.
