Luojing, Yuzhang Mountain.

This mountain is towering into the clouds, covered with jade and stones, standing on the earth like a straight seal, making people look up.

Nestled high in a lush, tree-filled mountain, a long staircase winds its way up in a U-shaped curve. A square, red-painted staircase railing is faintly visible amidst the dense trees. At nightfall, bright lanterns illuminate the path from the railing posts. From the mountain's base, the illuminated path resembles a stairway ascending to heaven, rising step by step into the clouds.

The top 100 winners of the Red Tower Sword Fight, plus the scholars who were shortlisted for the Autumn Palace Examination, about 200 people, were arranged by the Spring Officials to change into uniform clothes and ride horses in a parade through the streets, attracting countless people to watch and cheer.

The swordsmen wore purple tassels on their swords at their waists, and the scholars wore clothes embroidered with flowers and birds. They rode on horseback through the main road of Luojing and circled the city, accompanied by guards.

During this period, countless people came out to watch, and the streets were covered with flowers and spices. Some nobles and wealthy people would sit in the restaurants and teahouses on both sides of the street to carefully examine and examine the bride. If they found her suitable, they would even send servants to propose marriage on the spot.

Many swordsmen from humble backgrounds may have previously been unwelcome and unappreciated, living a life of poverty. However, once they succeed, they become the object of countless people's anticipation and admiration. Even if you have no family background, you can marry the daughters of noble families who were previously out of your reach and become the object of countless people's admiration.

Even women will receive favors from many nobles at this time. If they can stay awake, they can get a good marriage. Compared with ordinary women who marry into wealthy families, such talents will get more respect and freedom, and will no longer be restricted to living in the backyard.

When the parade has completed a lively circle, it is often approaching dusk. They will rest for a while and then head to Yuzhang Mountain to prepare to climb the mountain and receive the title.

This is often referred to as climbing the ladder to heaven, and it is the most proud and glorious moment in the lives of countless people.

The team moved forward step by step, and from time to time there were sounds of shouting and reading. It was the spring officials in front of the team reciting the sacrificial text and blessing.

The pine trees swayed in the wind, and talented people in purple and red clothes climbed up the stairs one by one. Step by step, the prosperous city beneath their feet gradually presented a different scene in their sight, magnificent and glorious.

All of a sudden, everyone was inspired to write poetry. Many student swordsmen wrote as they walked, expressing their joy and heroism.

Compared to those talented people who needed to climb mountains, Loran Hill took a carriage pulled by Pegasus and came directly to the top of Yuzhang Mountain.

In a circular open space surrounded by white jade railings, the carriage slowly landed. A pair of light white shoes poked out from the door and stepped lightly on the ground that looked like a white wall. Then, following the line of sight upwards, there were snow-white stockings, a skirt of light gold tulle, a white silk lining, gold leaf embroidery on the cuffs, slender fingers, delicate collarbones, a few strands of silver hair, a pure and flawless face, and the jade stone faintly gleaming on the forehead.

Several female officials who had been waiting on the side stepped forward and said, "Welcome to the Golden Sparrow Priestess."

Afterwards, these high-ranking female officials dressed in gold embroidery took Loran Hill to a side corridor.

Walking along this white jade carved fence, looking down, you can appreciate the beautiful sight of thousands of lights in Luojing below, embellishing the earth.

But compared to flying in the night sky on a normal day, the scenery here was a little different. The scenery below was like being separated by a layer of transparent water, with ripples in the water, and the orange and yellow lights were stained.

After passing one palace building after another, a spacious conference hall appeared in front of Loran Hill.

The whole structure is like a large trapezoidal structure built along the mountain, extending downwards and sideways. Each large trapezoidal structure is equipped with several round tables for entertaining guests. These terraces are all on the edge of the mountain, overlooking the beautiful night view of Luojing and enjoying the beautiful moonlight.

Although there is no bright moon now, the starry sky is still magnificent and fascinating.

In the center of the venue, there are several round tables, and the top and middle tables are made of amber jade, like the bright moon of Mid-Autumn Festival.

Although no one was seated yet, this table must be reserved for the Emperor's family.

After arriving at the venue, Loran Hill was first taken by a female official to a terrace at the back, where a woman in a golden phoenix dress was already waiting for her.

"This is the current empress, Her Royal Highness Empress Zhaoyue." The Jinxiu Chunguan beside her introduced Luo Lanxier.

"Greetings, Her Majesty the Queen." Loran Hill lifted her skirt and nodded, performing court etiquette.

"No need to be so reserved."

A soft voice came from above, and Loran Hill looked up and looked around slowly.

This Empress Zhaoyue did not look old at all. She was dressed in an intricate and embroidered dress covered with phoenixes in gold and white, with drooping branches of blooming broom flowers at the corners.

She sat upright on a jade chair, her head adorned with layers of phoenix clouds, adorned with numerous pearl pendants. While her features weren't breathtakingly beautiful, they were graceful, dignified, and beautiful, naturally possessing a calm and noble aura.

"You must be Lorraine."

When the girl looked at the queen, the other party was also looking at the girl. His eyes looked at this flawless and beautiful girl, and from time to time he showed some approval.

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Come and sit for a while. I've heard a lot of rumors about you recently." The kind queen waved to Loran Hill and asked her to sit next to her.

"There's still some time before the Burning Tail Banquet, so it's a good time for us to chat."

"Yes." Loran Hill replied softly, then slowly walked forward and sat on the throne next to the queen.
