CHAPTER FOURTEEN
After some time, he left the area. A guard came and conveyed the message that the royal court members, along with his mother, were waiting for him to discuss the upcoming spring festival. It's been a while since they celebrated the spring festival grandly. This was the first spring festival after Taeho became king. The ministers wanted to celebrate it in a very lively manner. If this festival would make his subjects happy, then King Taeho believed that it was worth celebrating.
Even his stepmother said that the festival this year should be special. The king agreed to the same and commanded that he delegate the tasks to make them the best. Professionals were assigned to handle particular tasks. Everyone began to participate in it. People were actively engaging in various activities and contributing their best to make the festive season even better. Fifteen days were left to begin the festival. King Taeho ensured that Padma was assigned certain tasks in which she could excel. Although there is a distance between them right now, they both appreciate each other from afar.
Though far, yet near.
He thought that maybe after the festival he would talk to her again and make her speak to him openly. The ceremony was approaching quickly. The whole province glowed differently during the spring season. Everywhere there are happy faces, happy songs, good food, and so on. King Yaswant and his family had been invited by King Taeho to participate in the festival. He loved to celebrate with them. The royal family arrived at the palace two days before the ceremony, and Padma was in charge of taking care of them. He did this on purpose to introduce her to them and see how they would react to his choice of her as his queen.
Padma completed her tasks perfectly, as usual. Taeho always believed in her. The spring festival usually starts with the family members visiting the shrine, which is located near the outskirts of the countryside. The journey takes two hours from the palace. There is a tradition that only close members of the royal family, along with a few guards and servicemen, should accompany the king to the place.
