The entrance was lined with luxurious carriages.
The nine-story Star-picking Tower was brightly lit at this hour.
The gold-plated wind chimes hanging from the multi-eaved roofs tinkled softly in the night breeze, and the jiao curtains on the eighth-floor balcony shimmered like waves.
Because on the eighth floor of the Star-picking Tower, the Chieftain Banquet was being held tonight.
Each year, only one military examination chieftain is chosen.
Historically, over ninety percent of these chieftains go on to win military scholar titles in the provincial exams held in summer.
Thus, the Chieftain Banquet is seen as a significant opportunity for dignitaries to familiarize themselves and build connections with future military scholars.
At the Chieftain Banquet, the chieftain is merely a Military Scholar, and conversation is still possible. But once they become a military scholar in the future, ordinary dignitaries might not have the chance to converse.
