Those acquaintances included Yu Wenhui, Wanyan Zheng, and Murong Zhan, who were counted among the top ten noble sons of the Royal Capital.
Additionally, Ao Tian from the Heavenly Wolf Tribe, Xiao from the Snow Eagle Tribe, and that unnamed purple-robed Prince from the Thunderhawk Tribe, all had their places at the banquet.
There's no need to mention Murong Zhan in detail, as he is a member of the Royal Family and also one of the top ten noble sons of the Royal Capital. With his extraordinary talent, he naturally qualifies to attend the Royal Palace's night banquet.
As for Yu Wenhui and the others, although they lost to Zhao Letian in the assessments, their talents and abilities were undoubtedly strong. What's more, their identities and statuses were exceptionally prominent. Thus, even though they did not win the championship of the assessments, they became candidates for the position of Prince Consort, just like Zhao Letian.
