The Empress has arrived!
Zhao Douan gazed afar at a luxurious procession of carriages advancing grandly towards the base of Luo Mountain.
When still a distance away from the mountain's base, the Empress of Yu Country, decked in elaborate attire, stepped down from the elevated Royal Carriage.
Clad in a Dragon Robe, Xu Zhenguan stood out blindingly in the radiant sunlight, with her coronet exuding the majestic aura of supreme dignity.
At her waist hung the Emperor's Sword, Taia Sword, accompanied on either side by two attendants.
These were Mo Chou, in charge of the "Six Palaces," and the White Horse Supervisor Sun Lianying.
Following them was a large entourage, led by the Minister of Rites, consisting of civil servants and military generals, numbering in the hundreds.
This assemblage was due to circumstances that required the retention of a large number of high-ranking officials in the Capital to maintain court stability.
