Why have we suddenly come to the Golden Throne Hall?
The Empress and Eunuch Jin exchanged a glance, with a hint of gravity in their expressions.
"Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
The ministers reacted and promptly knelt in greeting.
The Crown Prince walked with steady steps, passing through the ministers, stopping before a majestic and extraordinary elder, bowing respectfully, "Grandmaster."
The elder's voice was somewhat hoarse and piercing, "Your Highness is here to listen to the administration today, no need to adhere to the teacher-disciple etiquette."
"Very well."
The Crown Prince nodded, turning and ascending the Nine Golden Steps.
"Your son greets the Empress."
Upon reaching the high platform, the Crown Prince first bowed towards the bamboo curtain, then climbed onto the regency seat below the dragon throne.
