How can I bow my head and serve the powerful officials?

As the imperial team stepped into the palace, circles of light cast by the sunlight fell like a rain curtain. In the sky above the majestic Golden Throne Hall, a large number of birds were seen flying past, like a phoenix spreading its wings and ascending to the sky. White clouds turned into long dragons and hovered above the hall. Birds sang in the sky, and auspicious signs were evident.

When passing the steps in front of the hall, the team split into two and stood respectfully on both sides, not allowed to move forward any further. The white tiger leaped into the air with all four claws and lightly jumped onto the steps. The summer breeze blew Xie Chengze's long green hair behind him. The gauze that was covering his face slid off his ears and floated away with the wind. His stunning appearance was also revealed, divinity and brightness.

The flocks of birds singing in the sky turned into surging clouds and flew past the leaping white tiger on both sides. He was like an immortal soaring in the clouds. All things were created by him and all things lay at his feet.

The white tiger stopped at the entrance of the main hall. Shen Yuan, who was standing in front of the Golden Throne Hall, walked over. He looked noble and handsome in a purple second-grade official robe. He raised his arm and stretched it towards Xie Chengze on the white tiger.

Xie Chengze put his hand on his arm, lifted his leg and stepped down from the tiger's body. The bells on his gorgeous and noble purple-gold Taoist robe rang, as if the sound of Buddha was being played. The robe was embroidered with a picture of hundreds of blooming lotuses in gold thread. A palace guard came forward and fiddled with the hem of the robe that had fallen to the ground, and saw the golden lotus shining brightly, which was very dazzling.

"Your hair is messy." Xie Chengze gently pinched Shen Yuan's forearm and whispered.

Hearing this, Shen Yuan took out a wooden comb from his sleeve, gently inserted it into Xie Chengze's hair, and combed his long hair which was slightly messy due to the wind.

Xie Chengze took a glance and saw that the wooden comb seemed to be newly polished, brand new and shiny, with a silver pendant hanging on the end of the handle. Because of the combing action, it was swaying and could not be seen clearly.

He couldn't help but squint, trying to see what was carved on the silver pendant.

"It's salted fish." Shen Yuan stuffed the wooden comb into Xie Chengze's sleeve, "Specially matched with the virtuous fish fairy."

Xie Chengze: ...

Who should I call Xianyu Xianzhang? I should call my Chinese teacher!

"I'll go in and wait for you." Shen Yuan took a step back and saluted.

Xie Chengze waved his hand.

He touched the salted fish wooden comb in his sleeve, looked up at the tightly closed door of the Golden Throne Hall, and suddenly felt as if something was wrong.

This sense of déjà vu...

Why does she look so much like a bride entering a wedding venue in a TV drama?

An illusion must be an illusion.

He was clearly the one who went up to the Dragon Platform first.

It's more accurate to say that he got married.

Xie Chengze quickly threw away the random thoughts in his mind, stared at the door of the hall and began to wait for the auspicious time.

After a while, the auspicious time arrived. With Eunuch Zhao's loud shout of "The Imperial Master is ascending the stage--", the red door of the Golden Palace opened wide. The ministers had already lined up on both sides of the hall, respectfully welcoming the Imperial Master to come on stage to be conferred the title.

Xie Chengze walked towards the throne on the Dragon Terrace step by step. Guo Tiling, the astronomical supervisor, was already standing on the side, holding an eight-foot golden scepter in his hand. The center of the scepter was like a thick golden bowl. From the front, it looked like the sun in the sky, and from the side, it looked like a crescent moon hanging in the night, decorated with stars and golden tassels, which made it look extremely mysterious and dignified.

"The sun and the moon shine together, the mountains and rivers live together! Pick up the stars and count the moon, and bless all directions!"

"The Heavenly Supervisor is giving a gift—!"

Guo Tianheng walked up to the dragon throne and respectfully handed the golden scepter in his hand to Xie Chengze.

Xie Chengze reached out and took it.

"It's done——!"

"Long live the Imperial Master! Long live the Imperial Master, a thousand years, a thousand thousand years!"

The ministers bowed in the Golden Palace. Eunuch Zhao, who was presiding over the ceremony beside the dragon throne, looked at the high-spirited Xie Chengze with satisfaction and whispered softly, "Your Majesty, the Second Prince, he is alive and well."

After the ceremony of enthroning the imperial master was over, the new emperor’s coronation ceremony followed.

Xie Jinyu wore a Tongtian crown and a bright yellow dragon robe, which was embroidered with majestic and lifelike dragon and cloud patterns in black and gold threads. He stepped onto the dragon throne, his eyes fixed on Xie Chengze who was sitting on the left side of the throne.

Xie Chengze stood up and walked in front of him holding the golden scepter.

"Second brother..."

Xie Jinyu spoke softly, so that only the two of them could hear, "Do you think this is like getting married?"

Xie Chengze:?

Brother, your idea is very dangerous.

Although the second brother lets you sleep, it’s not the kind of sleep that you sleep with.

He glared at Xie Jinyu for a moment, then began to speak confidently, "Today is a good day, the palace is full of auspicious light, and the courtyard is filled with auspicious aura. Having a new king inherit the throne is truly the will of heaven and a blessing for the country."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud thunder outside, and then the whole Golden Palace became dark. Suddenly, a strong wind blew outside, and the originally clear sky became dark in an instant.

Guo Tianheng, who was sitting under the throne, couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.

This is an ominous sign!

The ministers also surged in agitation, seeming to be very uneasy about this heavenly omen.

"This is God's displeasure!"

"Is this a sign of the country's demise..."

"This is how to do?"

"Tsk." Xie Chengze couldn't help but look up at the sky, frowning in dissatisfaction, "What are you doing?"

The new emperor appointed by my country’s teacher himself, and you’re doing this to me?

I don’t want to lose face?

The next moment, the dark clouds dispersed, the strong winds disappeared, and large swaths of light shone in through the windows, instantly making the Golden Palace warm.

All the ministers breathed a sigh of relief.

That’s great. That’s great.

With the national master here, there is no need to worry about the fall of Jian'an.

Two dragon guards came up with the jade seal. Xie Chengze solemnly handed the jade seal to Xie Jinyu and said loudly, "The jade seal is the most important thing in the country. It carries power. I now give it to Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will follow the will of heaven, govern the country, and benefit the people."

Xie Jinyu clenched the jade seal in his hand, he looked into Xie Chengze's eyes, at this moment there was no trace of frivolity and leisure in his eyes, there was only the solemnity and expectation of high hopes.

Seeing that Xie Jinyu was hesitant to speak, Xie Chengze raised his hand and held the back of his hand, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, Second Brother is with you."

Just like when I was young.

In his eyes, he was the emperor's younger brother who needed his protection.

If the road ahead is bumpy and difficult, then my second brother will always be with you.

"You protect the world, and I will protect you."

Xie Chengze said softly, his eyes full of tenderness. Xie Jinyu couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart, and a bit of bitterness surged in his eyes.

If this is his second brother's wish, then he is willing to protect the world for him.

Xie Jinyu nodded gently. He held the imperial seal in his hand, turned around and looked at the ministers under the throne. His eyes instantly became sharp and majestic, and he said in a low voice, "I will surely rule a prosperous era in the world, benefiting all people and showing my kindness to all corners of the world."

The new emperor's majestic and awe-inspiring voice spread throughout the hall, and his imperial power was fully demonstrated. All the ministers knelt on the ground and shouted: "Long live our emperor, long live our emperor!"

The Jian'an Dynasty welcomed its third emperor.

It also welcomed its first national teacher.

Outside the Golden Palace, the sun was shining again. As the ministers inside the palace shouted, the soldiers of the three armies outside the palace had already lined up in neat battle array, with bright armor, swords and spears at the ready, and they shouted in unison, "Long live the emperor."

Under the throne, Xie Zimiao, who was wearing new clothes, suddenly turned around and whispered to Xie Shoujun next to him.

"Brother, do you think we will be kicked out of the house next?"
