The day before the banquet, the Li residence became busier than ever.
Li Xinyue arrived early in the morning and spent almost the entire day supervising the final decorations. Since she had already arranged the general layout in advance, the workers only needed to complete the smaller details. Even so, she did not relax at all. She walked around the courtyard with a scroll in her hand, checking the layout more carefully.
The banquet area had changed completely.
The wide courtyard was decorated with red and gold lanterns, but the color was not so heavy that it looked vulgar. Spiritual silk hung from the beams in soft layers, and small wind chimes made from jade shells were placed near the corners of the roof. When the wind passed through, they made a clear and gentle sound that did not disturb the ears.
