As a general who is often in the front lines, General Ling looks down on these ministers who can only talk and stays aloof alone as he stands in the front of the ministers. Shang Jian Rui however, is happily chatting with the rest of the ministers. Attending the emperor's morning court session is something he has never experienced before and he is excited about his attendance today. He is also chatting with his cousins and brothers from the Shang family who are serving as ministers right now.
Soon he spots Ying Shi Xi, father of Ying Yue at the other side of the room and excuses himself from his friends to head over to chat with Ying Shi Xi.
"Hello, Shi Xi!" Shang Jian Rui greets Ying Shi Xi in a friendly manner.
Ying Shi Xi gets a tiny shock as he did not expect to see Jian Rui in the morning court. "Ah! Jian Rui you are attending the morning court today?! The attendance of the morning court does not usually change much so I did not bother to look around and did not spot you."
"It's okay, I was summoned by his Majesty to attend today's morning court. I guess that his majesty probably has an order for me. It is my first time attending the morning court sessions! Ah yes, my son, Shi er has joined the riding circuit of the judges this time and he will be back in a few years. We can bring him to your house to meet your daughter then!" Jian Rui says happily.
Ying Shi Xi looks down as he is a little embarrassed and says "Ah, about that…my daughter was recruited by a sect and she joined the Qing Yu Sect…but don't worry! We told her master that she has a fiance and she is okay with their marriage! But…it seems like they will be unable to meet for the time being…Even if we want to meet Yue er, we have to travel to the Qing Yu Sect to meet her right now…Her master said that once Yue er consolidates her core, she will be able to return home anytime she wants so we will inform you when she returns!"
"Oh…That is a pity…We will wait for your news then since it will be a while before Shi er returns from the riding circuit as well." Jian Rui says but before he could continue the conversation, the eunuch enters and makes a few coughs to get everyone's attention.
"His majesty, the emperor of the Empire, will be arriving soon!" the eunuch yells loudly and everyone scurries back into their arranged positions and takes a bowing gesture, following court etiquette.
Soon, the eunuch announces the arrival of the emperor.
"His Majesty, the Great Emperor of the Sword Empire, Ruler of the Sword Continent has arrived!"
As the emperor walks in, dressed in a long and grand yellow robe, everyone greets him as he takes a seat on his pure gold throne. The throne depicts dragons and phoenixes dancing in the skies, and has exquisite carvings of men and women praising the heavens.
"Long Live his majesty!" the greetings of the ministers echoes throughout the hall.
