Zhao Zhongyu said softly, "Everyone, there's not much time left before the banquet begins, and we still haven't decided on the seating arrangement? We can't possibly wait until the two of you arrive to make a decision, can we?"
With the support of Fu Zhi and Zhao Zhongyu, Zhao Hanzhang narrowly secured the seat to the far left.

Zhao Hanzhang had already changed her clothes, and after eating and drinking her fill, she was feeling lethargic and non-aggressive, so she lazily sat at the head and asked him, "So?"
