Standing in this dreamlike, ethereal space, it feels as if time itself has stood still.

The hustle and bustle of the world is kept at bay by an invisible yet solid barrier, making it difficult for it to penetrate even slightly.

At this moment, only inner peace and contentment ripple gently through my heart, making me feel intoxicated and reluctant to leave.

It's as if all the troubles of the world have vanished, leaving only this peaceful and beautiful world, where one's soul merges with the surroundings, reaching a transcendent state of complete immersion.

A few days later, the dawn, like a soft veil, gently and slowly showered the magnificent Chengxiao Kingdom Palace with its pale golden light, like scattered gold dust.

The glazed tiles of the palace, illuminated by the morning light, refracted a dazzling array of colors, like a dreamlike illusion, breathtakingly beautiful.

The morning bell tolls like a melodious tune from ancient times, its deep and solemn sound echoing among the eaves and brackets of the palace.

The officials were dressed in magnificent and solemn court robes, each piece meticulously embroidered with intricate and exquisite patterns woven from gold and silver threads, highlighting their status and position.

Their expressions were solemn, as if they were shouldering the heavy responsibility of their country. They stepped into the magnificent Golden Palace with steady and orderly steps.

Once the assembled officials had taken their positions, the vast golden hall was so quiet that time seemed to stand still.

Only the occasional rustling sound of her robes fluttering gently could be heard clearly in the silent Golden Palace.

At this moment, the matter of the Miao King's impending journey to the capital was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake without warning, instantly creating ripples.

This sparked a heated discussion among the court officials, with voices rising and falling like waves, surging and echoing within the Golden Hall.

Qin Qianlu stood tall and straight, like an ancient pine tree, firmly at the head of the court officials' ranks.

Her gaze was intense and radiant, her face revealing an undisguised, almost tangible, curiosity about the Miao region.

Miao territory, that remote and mysterious land, is like a treasure trove of endless wonders.

Whenever it is mentioned, it always seems to be shrouded in a faint, dreamlike mist, exuding an irresistible and captivating allure.

From ancient times to the present, various legends and stories about Miao areas have been widely circulated among the people like stars in the sky.

Among them are many mysterious and bizarre Gu insect techniques. These Gu insects, which are said to be terrifying, can control people's minds and influence their life and death invisibly.

There are also strange and mysterious customs, such as unique sacrificial rituals, where people dressed in strange costumes dance under the moonlight and pray to mysterious gods.

These legends all stir the curiosity in people's hearts.

Moreover, the relationship between the former emperor of Xuanyuan Kingdom and the king of Miaojiang has always been a mysterious and complex enigma.

Like a mysterious painting hidden deep in the fog, elusive and difficult to grasp, no one can truly unveil its veil and glimpse its full beauty.

Qin Qianluo was even more curious about this, like a cat scratching its heart. She secretly pondered repeatedly why the Miao King had traveled thousands of miles and gone through so much trouble to come to Chengxiao Kingdom.

What hidden intentions lie behind this? Is it goodwill and a desire for cooperation, or is there another motive and a hidden agenda?

Today, the Chengxiao Kingdom is as powerful as the blazing sun high in the sky, its radiance dazzling and formidable.

Its expansion of territory is like a towering tree that grows vigorously and unstoppably, with lush branches and leaves, full of vitality, and constantly extending to the vast land in all directions.

The surrounding small countries, under the intimidating power and prestige of Chengxiao Kingdom, mostly lived in fear and trembling, like frightened birds, living in constant anxiety.

They understood that if they were not careful, the mighty and unstoppable army of Chengxiao Kingdom could sweep in like dark clouds.

Their country was instantly engulfed in the raging flames of war, turning it into scorched earth.

For this reason, around New Year's Day each year, small countries flock to pay homage to the emperor in an endless stream.

For a time, the capital of Chengxiao Kingdom was bustling with activity and traffic.

The streets and alleys were filled with the magnificent carriages of envoys from various countries, and pedestrians thronged the streets.

The sounds of hawking and greetings mingled together, vaguely presenting the grand rudimentary form of a grand gathering of nations.

However, the only drawback was that Chengxiao Kingdom had not yet developed a systematic, comprehensive, and detailed set of reception regulations for visiting countries.

This resulted in a complete lack of order during visits from small countries, with chaotic and arbitrary scheduling, making the entire reception process appear quite disorganized, like a tangled mess with no clear direction.

The civil and military officials clearly remembered the events that happened in the Xuanyuan Kingdom, which were like a deep and indelible scar.

It serves as a constant reminder that everyone must not let their guard down and must remain vigilant at all times.

The court was instantly divided into two distinct factions regarding the Miao King's visit, each holding their own opinion and refusing to yield.

The arguments grew increasingly heated, as if they were about to tear down the sturdy dome of the Golden Palace.

The group led by Gu Qingshi had resolute expressions, their unwavering demeanor seemingly cast in bronze, unshakable by any storms.

His words were forceful and clear, each one seemingly bursting forth from his chest.

With an undeniable force: "My Chengxiao Kingdom has been renowned throughout the world as a land of propriety since its founding."

His teachings spread far and wide, his benevolence and virtue were widely known, and his good name was known throughout the world.
