Huanzhu Time Travel: Yan Luo's Unbreakable Love in the Yong Dynasty

As dusk settles, the Imperial Garden is ablaze with lights, lanterns hanging high, and colorful ribbons fluttering gently in the breeze. Tonight, a grand banquet will be held here to celebrate the suppression of the rebellion and to unite the people.

Little Swallow, dressed in a magnificent phoenix robe and wearing a phoenix crown, strode radiantly into the banquet hall, followed by Consort Ling. The eunuchs and palace maids all knelt and bowed, shouting in unison, "Long live the Empress!"

Little Swallow waved her hand with a smile: "Everyone, get up! Tonight, let's not follow any rules and just enjoy ourselves!" Her eyes were full of joy, her cheeks were slightly flushed with excitement, and her hands waved lightly with quick movements.

Consort Ling smiled and echoed, "Yes, Her Majesty the Empress specially organized this banquet to make everyone happy." Her posture was elegant, her eyes gentle, and her hands were folded in front of her, exuding a graceful temperament.

At this moment, Lin Yuhang and Lin Yuxuan walked over quickly. Lin Yuxuan looked excited and said loudly, "Sister, you look so beautiful tonight!" His eyes were wide open, filled with amazement, and he unconsciously gestured with his hands.

Lin Yuhang smiled and nodded, "Sister, this banquet is sure to be wonderful." His gaze was gentle, the corners of his mouth were upturned, and his hands were behind his back, his expression relaxed.

As they spoke, Hongli arrived, surrounded by his ministers. "Empress, I am very much looking forward to the banquet you have prepared." Hongli smiled, his eyes filled with satisfaction, his hands behind his back, his dragon robe fluttering in the wind.

Xiao Yanzi quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I hope this banquet will help everyone relax and add some joy to our palace." She slightly bent her knees, her eyes respectful and her posture dignified.

The banquet officially began, and the eunuchs from the imperial kitchen filed out, bringing out one exquisite dish after another. Two young palace maids, A and B, stood to the side, their eyes fixed on the food, whispering amongst themselves.

"Xiao Yi, these dishes look so delicious, my mouth is watering!" The little palace maid A's eyes sparkled with anticipation, and she swallowed hard.

The palace maid B covered her mouth and chuckled, "Stop being so greedy, we'll get to taste it later." She smiled and nudged the palace maid A.

At the banquet, the ministers raised their glasses to toast Hongli and Xiaoyanzi. An old minister, his hands trembling, picked up his wine cup and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Empress, the suppression of this rebellion is largely due to Your Majesty's wise decision, and Your Majesty the Empress's concern for the safety of the palace. I toast you both, wishing our dynasty peace and prosperity!" He held the wine cup with both hands, bowed slightly, and his eyes were full of respect.

Hongli and Xiaoyanzi also raised their glasses in response: "Thank you, my dear minister. May our dynasty prosper and our people live in peace and happiness." Hongli's expression was solemn, his eyes were firm, and he tilted his head slightly, showing the demeanor of an emperor; Xiaoyanzi, on the other hand, had a smile on her face and gentle eyes, and her gesture of raising her glass was elegant and proper.

After a few rounds of drinks, Lin Yuxuan couldn't sit still any longer. He pulled Lin Yuhang and said, "Brother Yuhang, let's go put on a show for my sister and make everyone happier." His eyes shone with excitement, and he held Lin Yuhang's arm tightly with both hands, his face full of anticipation.

Lin Yuhang nodded in agreement: "Great! It'll be a good opportunity to show everyone what we're capable of." He stood up, straightened his clothes, and his eyes shone with confidence.

The two walked to the center of the arena and began to demonstrate their swordsmanship. Lin Yuhang's movements were skillful, his sword flashing; Lin Yuxuan, though still somewhat inexperienced, was full of power in every move. The crowd applauded and cheered, and Xiao Yanzi couldn't stop smiling.

"Excellent, excellent swordsmanship! I never expected Lin Yuhang and Lin Yuxuan to be so skilled." Xiao Yanzi clapped her hands excitedly, her eyes filled with pride, her cheeks flushed with excitement.

Consort Ling smiled and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, they are truly handsome men." She tilted her head slightly, her eyes filled with admiration, and clapped softly.

Inside the prison, Suksaha heard the laughter and merriment coming from outside, and his heart was filled with mixed emotions. "Hmph, they are so happy, while I am suffering here." He frowned, his eyes filled with jealousy and resentment, his hands clenched into fists, and his body curled up in the corner.

The jailer said coldly from the side, "You brought this on yourself. If you hadn't made that mistake, you could be enjoying this kind of pleasure too." The jailer crossed his arms, his eyes filled with contempt, and glanced at Suksaha.

In the Imperial Garden, the joyous atmosphere of the banquet grew increasingly intense. Amidst laughter and chatter, everyone gradually forgot the fear and unease brought by the rebellion. This banquet was not only a grand feast, but also a new beginning for the palace, symbolizing unity and hope, and foreshadowing a future filled with sunshine and joy.
