Liu Garden was not the private estate of any particular official; it was a garden designed exclusively for hosting banquets. Throughout the seasons, it was filled with flowers, from mountain orchids to jasmine, all blooming in a vibrant tapestry. What made it truly unique, however, was its pond of red lotuses. In the heat of summer, the lotus leaves would spread across the water, swaying gently in the breeze. Many officials favored this spot for hosting gatherings, where guests could sip tea, enjoy snacks, and admire the scenery. Today, Lin Yuelan, wife of Prime Minister Lu, was holding a banquet, and the guest list included only the most prominent figures in the Capital.
"Congratulations, Madam Lu. Next month, your daughter will be entering Xian Wang Manor."
"A perfect match, truly a union made in heaven!"
