He continued, his voice carrying a hint of solemnity and seriousness: "The royal family has never allowed its subjects to bear the burden alone, nor has it ever retreated from its duties."
After your father departs, my son, you must diligently fulfill your responsibilities, protect all people under heaven, and govern the world with benevolence; you must be discerning in recognizing talent and resolute in appointing the virtuous, and never become arrogant because of your position, losing the way of humility and caution.”
The emperor was already deeply troubled by the thought that his newly appointed regent was about to be thrown into danger.
His heart seemed shrouded in gloom, filled with deep concern for the Regent's safety on this long journey.
At that moment, when her father's resolute words clearly reached her ears, her body felt as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer, and she shuddered slightly.
He froze instantly, as if time had stopped at that moment.
Immediately afterwards, a crystal-clear teardrop, just like a dewdrop trembling on a lotus leaf in the early morning, quietly rolled down under the gentle caress of the breeze.
Tears slowly slid from her already reddened and reluctant eyes, flowing down her delicate, jade-like cheeks.
Bathed in the warm sunlight, it reflected a light interwoven with sorrow and helplessness, as if silently telling the story of the tangled pain and struggle deep within her heart.
Her heart was like a vast ocean raging in a storm, with turbulent waves.
With a thousand reluctances and ten thousand unwillingnesses, the Emperor embarked on this journey, fraught with uncertainty and danger.
This emotion stemmed from her deep-seated concern for her father, a father she felt was bound to by blood; it was the surging, overwhelming affection deep within her heart.
However, the words of refusal were as if tightly bound by an invisible yet unbreakable shackle, stuck firmly in his throat.
No matter how hard she tried, she could not break through this powerful barrier and utter those heartfelt words.
Her mind was as clear as a mirror; the Regent's resolute decision to go to the border was no ordinary act.
Rather, it is the unwavering attitude that the imperial court demonstrates to its subjects in the face of this treacherous and complex crisis.
It is a solemn promise to the world that we will never back down and will resolutely respond.
The fact that the Emperor chose to accompany him without hesitation is a testament to his commitment to upholding the noble character of the royal family, which has been passed down through the ages.
This incident is like a fog, mysterious and unpredictable, leaving people unable to understand it.
If the royal family were to cower behind their ministers at this time, hesitant and afraid to face the difficulties, they would surely become the laughingstock of the people.
The dignity of the royal family, which had been built up over the years, shattered instantly like a bubble, leaving nothing behind.
It would be like a bucket of cold water, ruthlessly extinguishing the flame of trust that the people had in the royal family, and chilling their sincere hearts towards the royal family.
She suppressed the overwhelming sense of reluctance and bitterness in her heart, a feeling that threatened to engulf her completely. This feeling was like swallowing bitter herbs, the bitterness spreading instantly to her internal organs.
It is heart-wrenching, as if every cell in your body is enduring excruciating pain.
She took a deep breath, her chest heaving violently, trying to suppress the turbulent emotions churning within her.
When he slowly raised his eyes again, they were filled with determination. His gaze was like a star shining brightly in the cold night, piercing through the darkness, bright and resolute.
It seemed to pierce through the darkness before my eyes, illuminating the way forward.
Her gaze slowly and gently fell upon her father, whose hair was already streaked with gray.
His snow-white hair, gleaming in the flickering candlelight, seemed like a sharp, gleaming blade piercing straight into her heart.
It caused a piercing pain in her heart, as if a thousand arrows were piercing it.
Then, she slowly straightened up, like a pine tree that stands firm and unyielding in the cold wind, dignified and elegant.
With an innate noble air, she performed a solemn and deeply affectionate salute to her father, the emperor.
Every movement seemed to embody her deep respect for her father, her profound reluctance to part with him, and her firm determination for the future.
Like a delicate painting, it slowly unfolds at this moment.
Her voice trembled slightly due to the surging excitement and reluctance in her heart, yet it also revealed an unwavering and rock-solid determination.
The voice, like a great bell, echoed for a long time in the silent and empty palace, as if it could penetrate time and space and reach far away: "Your subject kowtows to thank Your Majesty."
Father Emperor's trip is not only to set an example for the royal family and establish a good reputation, but also to pave the way for your son and consolidate the foundation.
Your subject will always remember the principle that "the people are the foundation of the state," and will always keep the well-being of the people in mind, never daring to slacken in the slightest.
Every morning and evening, I burn incense and pray before the steps, wishing that Father, the Regent, and the Regent's wife will have a safe and uneventful journey and return home safely.
I earnestly hope that Your Majesty will take good care of yourself and stay safe on your journey.
Your son will await the Emperor's return in the capital, and then return to serve you at your side.
Ning Chenyi gazed intently at the princess, whom he had cherished and protected like a rare jewel since childhood, his heart filled with a surging mix of emotions.
Now, the princess has grown into a queen, and a magnificent dragon robe is solemnly draped over her body, making her figure appear even more upright.
The seriousness and solemnity on his face, every expression, revealed the majesty and demeanor of a king.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, the pride overflowing from them like the vibrant and passionate blossoms blooming all over the mountains in spring.
It spread unrestrainedly in my heart, almost filling my entire heart.
He nodded gently, the movement slow yet powerful, filled with deep satisfaction and pride.
