The day after the Li Family banquet concluded.
In the distant Yuzhou, Imperial City.
That luxurious palace, which gathered countless gazes from across the world yet remained insurmountably walled.
An ancient temple—solemn and august—stood for a thousand years, a dark gold carpet adorned with dragon scales stretched from the entrance to the steps before the Dragon Throne.
Civil and military officials residing in Yuzhou lined up on either side.
From First Rank officials such as grand tutors and supreme generals, to Fourth Rank governors and directors of the National Academy, all stood with bowed heads and hands lowered.
The least of these officials could cause tens of cities' inhabitants to prostrate with a mere stomp of their feet.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty."
"The Qingzhou Li Family held a family banquet yesterday, proclaiming to all under heaven, another divine being has emerged from the Li Family!"
Someone respectfully reported.
