As the honor guard's horn sounded.

The second prince, wearing a cassock decorated with gold thread and gems and holding Buddhist beads in his hands, slowly walked up to the Temple of Heaven.

Above the Temple of Heaven, smoke was curling and incense and candles were burning brightly.

The second prince stood in front of the altar with sandalwood incense, chanting Buddhist scriptures.

The chanting is completed.

He took a few steps back, knelt on the ground, and prayed to the sky.

All civil and military officials, along with millions of civilians, also prostrated themselves on the ground.

The whole process was solemn and dignified, and no one dared to make loud noises.

Even the emperor had to nod his head and lower his eyes.

Only Jiang Zhiyu was looking around, his heart in a state of confusion.

【Wow, there are so many people! 】

[The Emperor's Royal Guards are so majestic! ]

[Prince Boll still has such a big chest! ]

What is the Second Prince mumbling about? Why hasn't he gotten up yet? Is he asleep?

【……】

The emperor was so disturbed by her noise that he couldn't help but look up and take a peek.

It didn't matter that he looked up, he just happened to meet the eyes of Xu Yanli, the head of all officials...

Both of them lowered their heads quickly as if they had been caught doing something bad.

Xu Yanli is so flustered...

He was disturbed by Jiang Zhiyu's noise and wanted to raise his head to signal his granddaughter to be quiet...

How come His Majesty raised his head?

emperor……

The emperor was not convinced!

I am the emperor!

The true dragon emperor!

Is there anything I can't see?

Even the young fish are raising their heads, what am I afraid of?

look up!

Look up with confidence!

I wonder who dares to look me in the eye...

Then he looked around the audience with confidence.

It was not until a cup of tea later that the Second Prince stood up and announced:

"The Grand Duel begins immediately. There are three stages: identifying objects, finding people, and divination."

He faced the onlookers and explained the process of the fighting ceremony.

He had only said half of it when his gaze stopped on a woman in white clothes and a veil.

The sound stopped abruptly and the whole audience fell into solemn silence.
