"Yes, yes, Her Majesty the Empress has ordered the entire city to welcome her. The Azure Phoenix Heart of our Yue Kingdom is finally returning!"

"Oh dear, I wonder which family's young master His Majesty will bestow upon him. The young master is just turning 15 this year, which is his coming-of-age ceremony."

"Yes, it would be a great blessing to marry the young master, even if I were just a humble servant."

As he answered the question from the person in front of him, a man in his forties dressed in plain clothes casually pushed the young man standing next to him forward.

"Young Master will be here soon. Son, stand in front so that Young Master can see you."

The young man beside him nodded obediently, secretly hoping that the young master would even glance at him.

He was confident in his looks. If the young master took a liking to him and brought him back to the palace, he could live a life of luxury for the rest of his life.

Then I can even bring my father in so we can enjoy family time together!

The Heart of the Azure Phoenix is ​​the affectionate name given to Leng Qingning by the people of Yue Kingdom. This is because on the day the Emperor gave birth, auspicious omens descended from the sky, and the twin phoenix stars shone brightly, causing the people of Yue Kingdom to kneel in worship.

They believed that this young master was a lucky star bestowed upon them by the divine bird, the Azure Phoenix, and was the true reincarnation of the bird's descendant.

It will surely bless Dayue with favorable weather, abundant harvests, and national peace and prosperity. Just like the heart of the Azure Phoenix, it will protect every citizen of Dayue.

On the bustling street, the sounds of people talking were incessant. They were all saying auspicious words to welcome the young master.

A man in black quietly left the crowd and headed towards the Princess's Mansion on West Street.

His task was to record all the people's opinions that day and inform his master.

Inside the study of a princess's residence, the sound of a teacup falling to the ground could be heard...

"The Heart of the Azure Phoenix? Ha! These lowly people really know how to elevate her."

"She's just a village girl who's lived in the countryside for 15 years, humph."

The head steward at the lower seat, Mo Ran, cautiously glanced at his master and reminded him:

“Your Highness, Kongmen Mountain is the number one sacred mountain in our Great Yue, not some rural backwater.”

Hearing this, the princess was furious and slapped Mo Ran hard across the face.

"If I say she's a country bumpkin, then she is. Who gave you the right to interrupt?"

"Yes, Your Highness, I dare not do it again."

After a moment of silence.

The alluring woman gave her orders.

"Mo Ran, prepare the horses. I am going to the palace to pay my respects to my father."

"Yes, Your Highness!"
