Therefore, despite being in the warm and harmonious Tianxuan Kingdom, they still appeared timid and cowardly.
They dare not confidently step out of the store to actively solicit business or warmly greet customers.
Of all these women, only Murong Yan performed somewhat better.
Having worked alongside Qin Qianluo, she was able to overcome her inner fear and shyness, interacting with customers more naturally and displaying a certain degree of confidence and composure.
Qin Qianluo saw this and felt sorry for him, although she felt somewhat helpless about the situation.
But she also knew that the inner wounds of these women could not be healed overnight.
The goal is to help them completely let go of the shadows of the past, regain their confidence, and integrate into normal life and work environments.
They also need to be given enough time and patience to be guided and cared for slowly.
I believe that in the near future, they will be able to overcome their inner obstacles and shine with their own unique brilliance.
At 3:45 AM, as dawn broke, the Golden Palace was solemn and dignified.
The distant tolling of the court bell echoed as officials, dressed in their court robes, filed in and lined up neatly on both sides of the main hall according to their rank.
He then bowed and kowtowed, shouting "Long live the Emperor!" three times. After finishing the ceremony, he stood up but did not proceed with the meeting as quickly as usual.
The entire hall was shrouded in an eerie silence. Everyone stood upright, their expressions solemn and dignified, their eyes fixed on the hall's entrance.
It was as if a momentous event concerning the fate of the nation was about to unfold behind those tightly closed palace doors, and everyone's eyes gleamed with anticipation.
Qin Qianluo, being in the midst of it all, naturally sensed the unusual atmosphere.
Having just finished the kowtow ceremony, she habitually wanted Feng Qingyun to play a TV series for her so she could pass the long and tedious morning court session.
In the past, the discussions in the imperial court were mostly filled with formalities and clichés, which were quite boring for Qin Qianluo.
However, today, the familiar sounds of discussion were nowhere to be heard, which made her wonder.
She slightly raised her head, her eyes filled with a hint of caution, and gently glanced around.
The ministers around him all stared intently at the palace gate, their solemn expressions as if they were frozen in place.
This scene instantly piqued Qin Qianluo's intense curiosity, and she couldn't help but follow everyone's gaze to look at the tightly closed palace door.
He secretly wondered who could have such a grand display that made all the officials in the court look on with such anticipation.
Just then, the emperor, sitting high on the dragon throne, turned his head slightly with a dignified yet calm expression and glanced lightly at Eunuch Liu beside him.
Having served the emperor for many years, Eunuch Liu had long since developed the ability to read people's expressions and instantly understood the emperor's intentions.
He slightly bowed his body, took a quick and light step forward, first straightened his robes, and then cleared his throat.
The high-pitched yet dignified voice echoed through the spacious hall: "Summon General Xiao Muhan, the Destroyer of the Barbarians and Pacifier of the Far East, to an audience—"
This proclamation broke the previous silence, its sound echoing between the beams and pillars of the palace, lingering for a long time.
The ministers' gazes became increasingly focused and eager on the palace gate, as if the gate was about to open a legendary heroic chapter.
Everyone was waiting to witness the general's glorious return or to hear the important military intelligence and good news he was about to bring.
The atmosphere in the entire hall instantly reached a climax, filled with a tense yet exciting atmosphere.
As Eunuch Liu's high-pitched and drawn-out announcement faded, it seemed like an invisible thread piercing through the tranquil air of the court, gracefully echoing throughout the Golden Palace.
Every note gripped the hearts of the ministers, like a spell to open a mysterious door, raising everyone's expectations to the extreme.
Under the expectant and unwavering gaze of everyone, a tall and imposing figure slowly emerged through the palace gate.
The man's figure was like a towering pine tree, robust and agile, exuding an innate and imposing aura.
His face was like a beautifully sculpted jade, every line both strong and handsome.
His sword-like eyebrows slanted upwards towards his temples, his starry eyes shone brightly, his high, straight nose resembled a towering mountain, and his resolute, thin lips were pressed tightly together.
His black hair was neatly tied inside a purple-gold crown, paired with a black general's armor embroidered with gold, exuding an awe-inspiring presence.
The scales on his armor gleamed with a cold light in the morning glow, further highlighting his imposing and heroic bearing.
His every move exudes the demeanor of a great general, as if he were surrounded by the smoke and fire of battle, inspiring awe in all who behold him.
Behind him followed closely a young girl whose figure was as light and graceful as a butterfly in flight.
The girl's appearance was elegant and refined, like the first peach blossom to bloom under the warm spring sun, her beauty radiant yet exuding a fresh and natural charm.
Her skin was as white as snow, her eyes were bright and spirited, like clear autumn water, her nose was delicate and straight, and her cherry lips were naturally red.
However, beneath those delicate eyebrows, her eyes held a hint of innate stubbornness and aloofness.
Like a plum blossom braving frost and snow, solitary yet resilient, it adds a unique charm to her graceful figure, making her someone not to be underestimated.
