The procession stretched from the city walls to the gate of the palace. No one felt impatient. They only had eyes for Her Highness, whom they respected like a god.
The horses stopped, and the procession stopped at the gate of the palace.
The dark red gate of the palace was now open. From here, one could see the splendor of the palace.
When the soldiers at the gate saw the procession, they put down their weapons at the same time. Their armor rubbed against each other, making an ear-piercing sound. In the next second, all the soldiers at the gate knelt down.
Their voices were deep and sincere. "Welcome back to the capital, Your Highness!"
Shen Wanqing, who was on the black horse, pursed her lips coldly. Her fingertips hooked the reins of the horse, and she pulled casually. She was wearing armor but didn't look clumsy. She nimbly turned over and dismounted from the horse.
Shen Wanqing's fingertips casually rested on the sword on her left side. Her long eyelashes drooped, and the girl's cold gaze fell on the soldiers.
Her voice wasn't as deep as others'. Instead, it was a little cold. "Get up."
"Yes," everyone said in unison.
After everyone got up, Shen Wanqing suddenly saw a bright yellow figure in front of her. That figure was dignified and proud, and very familiar.
"Qingqing is back." The Empress's voice contained a gentle smile. She stroked her sleeves with her fingertips and slowly walked over. Her steps were extremely elegant.
The Empress's dragon robe was bright yellow. The patterns on it were complicated and gorgeous. Her long hair was tied up, and her beautiful black hair was inserted with golden tassels. There were also various jade hairpins that glowed with a glaze.
The soldiers and palace servants at the side said in unison, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
The Empress in front of them didn't seem to care. She flicked her sleeves and said, "Rise."
Shen Wanqing looked at the person who came and smiled slightly. The armor on her body made a dull sound with each step.
She knelt down on one knee and put her left hand on her right shoulder. "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Seeing this, the Empress hurriedly reached out to support Shen Wanqing's arm. She frowned and said to Shen Wanqing unhappily, "I told you not to worship anymore, but you still don't listen!"
Shen Wanqing stood up with the help of the Empress. Hearing this, she smiled warmly and replied, "I still have the proper etiquette."
The Empress held Shen Wanqing's hand. She turned around and glanced at the huge welcoming team outside the palace gate. She waved her hand and said, "Alright, you can all disperse. Third Princess, please follow me into the palace. "
"Yes."
Along the way, Shen Wanqing was led by the Empress into the throne room. On the way, the two of them were very close. It could be seen that the Empress valued and loved Shen Wanqing very much.
In the throne room, all the ministers had their heads lowered. Each of them wore a dark red court robe and held a long jade plaque in their hands.
The style of the throne room was more serious. The hall was spacious and magnificent with golden stone sculptures. The stone pillars supporting the roof beams were carved with golden five-clawed golden dragons.
The sculptures were three-dimensional floating reliefs, so the golden dragons on the stone pillars looked vivid and lifelike.
Perceiving the two people coming from outside the throne room, the ministers all lowered their heads at the same time.
Just a moment ago, the Empress, who was still in the court meeting, heard the news that Third Princess had arrived at the palace gate. She left all the ministers in the court and rushed to the palace gate, just to personally welcome Third Princess back to the capital.
It was such a great honor for the monarch of a country to personally welcome her!
