The man standing at the door, dressed in a bright yellow Dragon Robe and crowned with pearls, stood there with an imposing aura that made men across the world pale in comparison.

His eyes, as bright as stars, seemed to speak, gazing at her with a deep, unwavering love. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Su Yan couldn’t help but be captivated, slowly approaching him.

Chu Yuxiao held her hand and, smiling, said, "Come, let’s begin."

"Okay." Su Yan also held his hand back, returning his smile.

Sitting on the Imperial Palanquin, with the ceremonial procession leading the way, they arrived at Lanxuan Hall, filled with guests. Eunuch Wang’s loud announcement rang out: The Emperor has arrived.

All the guests stood up.

Even before entering, Su Yan saw the resplendent hall, filled with men and women in splendid attire.

She nervously tightened her grip on Chu Yuxiao’s hand, looking at him with a questioning gaze.

"Don’t be nervous, just follow me," Chu Yuxiao smiled, patting her hand, leading her inside.

Upon entering, she immediately felt all eyes settle on her.

Suddenly feeling uncomfortable, Su Yan tried to keep her gaze fixed on the Dragon Throne above, not daring to look askance.

One gaze particularly seared into her; she couldn’t ignore it even if she wanted to.

With a faint glance, she saw Empress Dowager Wen and Cang Mo beside her.

They watched her with complex expressions, especially Cang Mo, whose gaze seemed laden with undefined emotions.

Su Yan quickly shifted her glance away.

She understood the complexity in their looks; they surely assumed she was the Emperor’s maid, yet unexpectedly, she was dressed luxuriously, attending with the Emperor.

In truth, Su Ya was also puzzled, unsure of what Chu Yuxiao intended today.

Following him up the steps, stopping before the Dragon Throne, Chu Yuxiao pulled her hand, inviting her to sit with him.

The people below immediately bent in respectful salute: "Long live the Emperor, long live, long, long live."

The current era is one of six kingdoms vying for power.

The Great Nan Dynasty is the strongest nation; people from other countries, except for the Emperor, must humbly salute when meeting Chu Yuxiao.

Chu Yuxiao extended his hand and smiled, "There’s no need for formality, everyone, please be seated."
