"Tonight is a special night when I can feel the lively atmosphere in the Imperial Palace. Every day I only see dragons in the palace, but there are also humans in the palace tonight, and that's what makes the atmosphere feel so different to me."
Xia Qiao could see how the Emperor rose from his throne to officially open the Lantern Festival celebration in the palace tonight. He started with a formal greeting as he greeted all the guests present in the palace courtyard, and then he started his speech regarding the event being held tonight.
Xia Qiao and the other girls who came all the way from Chang City were still in the palace courtyard, and they were all looking at the balcony as the Emperor began his speech.
The veiled girl could see that the man had not changed much after four years had passed. It seemed that the wrinkles on his face had become more pronounced, but other than that, she couldn't see any difference in the man.
