"Your Majesty's grace is boundless, and I could never repay even a fraction of it with my life! The Miao people will forever remember this imperial edict and follow the lead of Emperor Chengxiao!"
When Pan Wei slowly raised his head again, his eyes were already red.
Those reddened eyes were overflowing with boundless gratitude and unwavering, rock-solid loyalty to the Emperor.
His eyes shone with a fervent and unwavering light, like a burning flame, transforming his gratitude and loyalty into a continuous and inexhaustible source of strength.
The silver ornaments on his Miao sword jingled softly as his body trembled slightly with excitement.
The sound was like a unique and melodious piece of music, gently playing in the tranquil atmosphere of the hall, and also telling the story of the owner's surging emotions.
It was a feeling of deep gratitude for the emperor's grace and an unwavering commitment to one's mission.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm the turbulent waves in his heart, his voice still trembling slightly with excitement.
Yet it was filled with an unwavering determination and pride that came from the depths of one's heart, resounding like a great bell in the hall, shaking the entire space.
"It is truly an immense blessing for my daughter and Xinghua to have gained His Majesty's favor!"
They will surely devote themselves to studying the culture of the Central Plains, and in the future, they will embroider the friendship between the Miao region and the Celestial Empire into brocade and carve it into totems, passing it down to their descendants for generations to come!
Immediately, his expression became even more solemn, his face as cold as an ice sculpture, and his eyes revealed a resolute determination to face death without hesitation.
He pressed his hands heavily onto the cold, hard blue bricks that had been polished by countless years.
It was as if, with this powerful force, they wanted to imprint their determination deep into the earth like a brand, making it an indelible vow that would last as long as heaven and earth.
His forehead was almost touching the ground, his posture extremely humble, and his voice was firm and resolute, as awe-inspiring as a mountain collapsing and the earth shaking.
With a sense of desperate resolve and a do-or-die spirit, it seemed as if all loyalty and courage were poured into these short but powerful words.
"If the Miao region encounters disasters in the future, they will surely keep to their duties and not disturb the Emperor's will; if war breaks out, the Miao men will surely take up poisoned crossbows and drive away the Gu beasts, and shed their blood on the battlefield for Your Majesty!"
Upon my return, I will erect a monument in the Miao region, inscribing Your Majesty's benevolence into the bluestone, so that the people of Miao may worship you daily!
After speaking, Pan Wei gave a final, deep bow, his movements steady and solemn, as if embodying his lifelong beliefs and loyalty, as well as his earnest expectations for the future of Miao territory.
When he stood up, his back was straight as a pine tree, standing proudly. His figure was like a majestic mountain peak, carrying the future and hope of Miao territory, and symbolizing the resilience and indomitable spirit of Miao people.
It is like an indestructible fortress, defending Miao Jiang's loyalty to Cheng Xiao and protecting this hard-won friendship.
He gazed firmly at the Emperor, his eyes filled with awe and reverence, as if looking up at the most brilliant star in the sky.
The voice was loud and powerful, like a great bell resounding throughout the hall, carrying a heart-stirring and morale-boosting force, as if conveying this loyalty and blessing.
The message reached every corner of Chengxiao: "Your subject Panwei will not fail Your Majesty's expectations. May Chengxiao's empire be forever secure and Your Majesty's life be long and prosperous!"
Inside the hall, a peaceful atmosphere prevailed, like gentle spring water flowing slowly, nourishing every corner.
The warm and cozy atmosphere, like the morning sun in spring, poured down without reservation, gently enveloping everyone.
It creates a warm and harmonious atmosphere, much like a delicate and moving traditional Chinese painting with soft colors.
The Emperor had a kind and gentle expression, with a warm smile on his face that could dispel all the chill in the world, like the warm spring sun.
He readily raised his hand, his movements elegant and composed, displaying the composure and demeanor characteristic of a superior, gesturing for Pan Wei and the others to take their seats.
This gesture was like a spring breeze, touching everyone's hearts and bringing a warm feeling to Pan Wei and the others.
Pan Wei and the others quickly and respectfully stood up, their movements swift yet dignified, and thanked the Emperor for his grace.
Their voices were unified, like the resounding of bells, echoing throughout the hall, fully demonstrating the Miao people's respect and awe for the royal family.
Then, with steady steps, they slowly took their seats.
After taking their seats, everyone sat upright, their expressions showing deep reverence for the emperor.
The harmonious atmosphere made me feel relaxed, as if I had found a perfect sense of belonging in this solemn hall.
Immediately afterwards, the Emperor and Pan Wei began a brief conversation.
The Emperor's tone was gentle and soothing, like a babbling brook in the mountains, peaceful and kind; his words were full of concern and tenderness, just like an elder giving earnest advice to a younger generation.
Pan Wei responded respectfully, every word filled with reverence, his tone humble and sincere.
Their conversation, like a beautiful melody, resonated throughout the hall.
This added a touch of warmth to the originally solemn court, revealing the harmony and trust between the emperor and his ministers.
