A few moments later, a faint voice of inquiry came: "What is it?"
"In response to Noble Consort Cui, today is the day of the Military Examination and the day of the Champion Banquet."
"His Majesty decrees that Noble Consort Cui's two brothers, Cui Xiazhao and Cui Xiawu, have respectively won the top ranks in the Literary and Military Examinations. This is a significant event for the nation, and tonight a grand banquet will be hosted, inviting Noble Consort Cui to attend."
