On the day of Hongxin's coronation ceremony, he had to get up at midnight to prepare.
In Zao Garden, Hongxin changed into the Crown Prince's ceremonial attire.
This was crafted by the embroiderers of the Imperial Household Department over the past two months, working day and night.
The apricot-yellow fabric, embroidered with golden dragons, had intricate patterns layered upon one another. It fitted Hongxin perfectly.
Although he was not yet tall, he was no longer short either.
Wearing the ceremonial attire and hat, he looked truly dignified and impressive.
Facing the full-length dressing mirror, he turned and smiled: "Doesn't your Master look magnificent?"
"The Crown Prince is exceedingly spirited, most handsome." Treasure Bead covered her mouth: "In this world, no man is more handsome than the Crown Prince!"
