On another side of the city…
The Emperor's procession was heading from the palace to the City Square. The lively sounds of music were played loudly to accompany this parade. Colorful flags were raised to accompany the luxury carriages.
At both sides of the road, lanterns of different sizes and shapes were hung, painting the streets with different colors. The atmosphere was very lively and everyone who was watching suddenly was in the mood to join this festivity.
The citizen who wanted to take a peek at this procession had lined up at the sides from early morning. Their head craned to see the luxurious parade and hope that they would have the chance to take a glimpse at the imperial family.
Some were taking guesses at which carriage belonged to the Emperor and which carriage belonged to the princes.
With the number of civilians, there were also pushing and pulling among the people. However, with the soldiers guarding the area tightly, no one was dared to cause any disturbance.
