Great Xia Dynasty, Shangjing City.
Inside the main hall of the Taiji Palace, the enormous Dragon Bookcase still stood.
But the person sitting behind it had changed.
After Xia Xuanmin had passed away, Xia Yunzhao moved out of her own residence and into here.
She generally conducted her daily governmental affairs and cultivation matters here as well.
She had ascended to the throne amid tumultuous times, her strength only recently reaching the top of the Divinity Transformation Realm.
Logically speaking, just handling the daily state affairs, balancing the court's power, and dealing with various sects outside the court should have overwhelmed her.
However, thanks to the mysterious national uncle who appeared during her coronation ceremony—Jin Xu, the little Taoist priest.
Not only did the court officials appear extremely obedient, but not a single one of the sects throughout the Nine Provinces caused any trouble either.
