Tsarist Village.
Zhu Wencong had invited all the power elites of Saint Petersburg to his first-ever banquet.
The invited nobles were all shocked, for they had extended countless invitations to Zhu Wencong, who had never attended any of their feasts.
They had thought that Zhu Wencong did not wish to blend into the noble circle, but now it seemed his stand was quite high, as he only invited others and never accepted invitations himself.
If Zhu Wencong were not the emperor, the nobles could completely ignore him, letting him maintain his aloofness.
An emperor's banquet inherently carried great prestige, much like a banquet hosted by His Majesty the Tsar, attended only by people of exalted status.
This time, Alexander II did not attend; for the recent past and quite some time into the future, he would be extremely busy.
Zhu Wencong was hands-off, while Alexander II was a workaholic, the two emperors presenting a stark contrast.
