All the officials present quickly stood up from the outer hall to the inner hall like a wave. They bowed towards Yelu Hong and Liu Yue and said, “This subject pays his respect to the emperor and to the regent.”
Some voices sounded first, some later. This made the voices rang out in a continuous line as it winded above the entire Chen Lan Hall.
Liu Yue held Yelu Hong’s hand. With a smile on her face, she calmly and unhurriedly walked towards the tiger-skin chair on the highest level.
Along the way, all the officials bowed to each other respectfully.
The fire crackled and burned, warm as summer.
With a wave of her sleeve, it gently flitted across the fire at the side of the stairs. Something within Liu Yue’s sleeve fell into the fire and quickly melted. It happened so quickly that no one noticed it.

Liu Yue reached out for the wine cup on the table before her and raised the wine cup. She raised the wine cup towards the officials and said slowly: “The old year has already passed and it’s the end of the year. I don’t have much to say. With this, I just wish Bei Mu will become more and more prosperous with this toast.”
When her voice fell, Liu Yue raised her cup again to toast.
