This palace banquet of Tianxu year 15 was probably the most extravagant of the entire Tianxu era, also the most bizarre, the most grand, and also the most not genuinely festive.
Although it appeared as if everything was all seemingly not that different from past years, but Xuan Emperor who can be said to have greatly changed in personality after the stroke, his facial features were still stiff, his words no longer lenient and benevolent, just left with hard to predict paranoia and gloominess. Thinking of the palace banquet, the court officials all just felt dreadful. And for the titled madams at the banquet in the inner palace, the atmosphere was just even more strange and awkward.
Because, the palace banquet this time was the first and also the only time, where Empress Wen and Li Consort really seemingly very intimately helped one another, joining hands to arrange the banquet, having the intention of making it particularly grand and dazzling. Don’t know whether it’s for the sake of creating a particularly festive atmosphere in order to console Xuan Emperor who has painfully lost his son, or wanting to let the unwell and stiff body Xuan Emperor once again demonstrate to the subjects his brilliant imperial might, the prosperity, and extravagance. All in all, from the announcement of the banquet to the arrangement, then to the banquet itself, everything was all extravagant and beautiful to the extreme. The amount of noble madams and official madams invited also far surpassed the previous years.
