Chapter 2: First One Since the Ancient Times

Chapter 2: First One Since the Ancient Times

The weather was wonderful the next morning. With the warmth of the sun's rays, the spring breeze felt less chilly, perfect for appreciating the season. However, Lintian's Emperor had already sent people to bring Man Yao into the palace earlier in the morning.

Lintian's palace was extravagant and luxurious, imposing and dignified, comparable to Qiyun's palace as well. As Man Yao passed through, she secretly praised the craftmanship.

As the guards led the way, she entered Gan Kun Hall. Through the pearl curtain, a lofty figure wearing the dragon robe was standing above her. His cold and dignified features were clear to distinguished, yet even though that pair of eyes didn't carry any expressions in them, she felt an indescribable sense of pressure, forcing her to feel a bit nervous. This is the first time since she arrived in this time period three years ago, the aura that belonged to an emperor. Her imperial brother, Qiyun Emperor, was quite gentle to her.

Taking a deep breath, she composed her thoughts and carefully stepped into the hall. The court officials within were standing on two sides, each one turning back to look at her.

One wasn't able to see her face, only that phoenix crown on her heard and the pearl curtain that hid her face. The red brocade robe she wore was adorned with colorful drawings, and one could not help but desire to hold that slim waist of hers. As the robe's train trailed along the carpet, her gentle and elegant steps as she moved forward were like a painting, captivating endless people. She was extremely pleasing to the eye.

The Emperor of Lintian straightened his back, and the light in his eyes flickered. Even though her face couldn't be seen, just that calmness and the noble aura that was emanating from her bones, was already incomparable to any other. This type of woman, no matter who saw would not believe that she is the Princess Rong Le rumored to be hideous and arrogant!

When Man Yao reached the middle of the great hall, she slightly bent her knees in greetings, "Rong Le greets Your Majesty Emperor of Lintian!"

That voice was as clear as air, neither haughty nor humble.

Emperor of Lintian raised his hand, "Princess may rise!"

After Man Yao raised her body, she felt a burning gaze from her left side. She calmly glanced over, only seeing a male dressed in the robes of a prince, carrying an indescribable smile. It was the Ninth Prince from yesterday. Seeing her look over, he blinked at her, with an expression that seemed as if he was waiting for a good play to happen.

Gently scowling, she quickly took in her surroundings, seeing that in front of Ninth Prince was another male's gaze on her as well, carrying a gaze full of mocking and disdain. He wore a jujube-colored robe, and a white jade crown with double dragon pearls. He should be the crown prince of Lintian. She naturally knew the reason behind his mocking and disdainful gaze. Giving a smile, she retracted her gaze and ordered the male behind her, "Xiao Sha, pass the gifts Imperial Brother prepared for the Emperor of Lintian."

Xiao Shao understood and carried a finely crafted gift box, walking towards the front as Man Yao explained, "Your Majesty, Rong Le's Imperial Brother was grateful for Your Majesty's bestowments, and wanted to return the gesture with this treasure. May Your Majesty accept!"

The eunuch received the gift box and opened it just as carefully as when he opened imperial notices. Within, he saw an orange-colored brocade along with a pair of finely crafted white jade cups with dragon plates underneath. Dancing phoenixes were carved on the cups, showing off the fine craftmanship, and the quality of the jade was extremely clear, scattering the light. With just a look, anyone would know that this is a rare treasure.
