"Congratulations your majesty, finally you are second only to the emperor".

Court lady song ,the highest ranking court lady of the palace congratulated the newly appointed empress of the dynasty. Her mistress and benefactor.

The empress, the previous royal consort Bin stood in front of her palace_ the Phoenix palace after her coronation ceremony surrounded by lots of palace maids, eunuchs, palace guards and servants alike.

The red phoenix robe complemented the golden crown dangling on her head, her slender wrist held unto a royal tag representing a marriage vow.

She threw her head up to peer closely at the palace she had always watched from the background and smiled beautifully.

"This shall be mine from now onwards", she beamed as she waltzed inside elegantly.

The golden throne gleamed brightly as stray ray of sunshine fell on it from the window. This seat... she recalls has been the most deepest part of her ambition, getting it at last is a dream come true.
