Xingchen and Xue Yang were hugging each other. Ju Yi entered and was startled to see Xingchen.
"Ahem! Ahem!" Ju Yi coughed to let them know that they both were not alone anymore.
Xingchen and Xue Yang released each from their arms and looked at Ju Yi, looking at them suspiciously.
Ju Yi was elder to Xingchen. Xingchen dropped an awkward bow and straightened and thanked him for saving him.
Xingchen was still weak. Ju Yi checked Xingchen pulses and, after examining him, said, "Xingchen's blood is no more powerful, so it's good that the event which happened this time will not occur in the future. I can sense feeble Spiritual power inside you; you will have to practice to make it strong."
Xingchen nodded and asked Xue Yang about his mother. Xue Yang told him that Yu Ziyuan is his mother.
Xingchen was delighted to hear that and decided to meet everybody after he freshens himself.
Ju Yi dragged Xue Yang outside.
"Let me stay, Ju Yi!!"
"Let's go outside, Xue Yang, Xingchen needs to freshen up, and you have your room."
Xingchen awkwardly looked at both of them and closed the door.
Xingchen dressed up nicely and looked himself in the mirror, promising himself never to lose hope again.
He opened the door and found Xue Yang waiting for him. They both smiled at each other in a lovey-dovey way and walked towards the dining hall.
Xingchen hugged his mother, and she showered love on Xingchen. Yu Ziyuan thanked Xue Yang and told Xingchen how Xue Yang never lost hope and always stood next to him.
Xingchen smiled at Xue Yang.
After breakfast, Grandmaster told Xue Yang that being the heir of the throne, he needed to take responsibility for the Clan and protect his people the same way his father used to.
Xingchen bid farewell to everybody as he had to meditate and practice to invigorate his spiritual power. Xue Yang kowtowed the Grandmaster and moved towards the palace to refurbish it and restore decorum.
After six months,
Vases of all kinds, carved in marble or other stones, cast or beaten in metals or fashioned in clay, the latter in enormous number and variety, richly ornamented with colored schemes with molded decoration.
Sculptured panels, with conventional motives, peacocks, eagles devouring hares, peacocks drinking from a cup on a tall pillar, are let into both exterior and interior walls, as are roundels of precious marbles, sawn from columns of porphyry, serpentine, verd antique. The adoption of veneer for decoration prohibited any deep cutting, and almost all the sculpture is shallow.
The Palace was lavishly ornate more beautiful than before. The coronation was to be held in 2 days, so the servants were running around to decorate the place and prepared great dishes.
Only the Great leaders from all clans were invited to be part of the Grand Event. Xue Yang appointed Ju Yi as a minister. He looked after the entire arrangement and made sure no fault was there.
Xue Yang was resting in his room. He thought to himself, "It's been six month's since I last saw Xingchen. These days have been tough".
He called the coachman and handed him the official order, and sent him to Maple Pavilion.
Xingchen was back to the Pavilion after completing his meditation.
The coachman reached Maple Pavilion, Kowtowed the Grandmaster. The servants accompanying the coachman entered, kept expensive gifts in front of them, and went outside. The Coachman took out the writ and read it aloud. The Writ had Maple Clan's logo inscribed on the top middle, and the command was
" Xiao Xingchen of Maple Clan is appointed as King's Official Advisor and is supposed to appear for the coronation with other senior masters of the Maple Clan. The Hnafu's are a small gift from the King."
He curled the writ back into his pocket, Kowtowed the grandmaster, and left.
Xingchen went back to his room and started unpacking the gifts. There was Hanfu of each color and design.
Xingchen was excited to see Xue Yang after such a long time; he knew that Xue Yang wanted to settle and then welcome him to his world.
🎇🎇🎇👑The day of coronation 👑🎇🎇🎇
Xue Yang was ready. He was looking royal in the King's outfit and head accessories. He looked out of the window from where one can see the entire view of the Maple Clan. He was a little bit nervous and missed his parents.
The door opened. Ju Yi was there dressed in an elegant Hnafu suiting his official position in the palace.
He informed Xue Yang that all the preparation were completed. Some guests are yet to come.
Xue Yang was happy to see that Ju Yi was taking care of everything. Ju Yi could see the nervousness on Xue Yang's face and reassured Xue Yang.
All the guest's arrived. Xingchen wore the magenta Hanfu gifted to him by Xue Yang and accessorized it with similar hair accessories.335Please respect copyright.PENANAO40Dg46F64
Xingchen was amazed to see the palace, which looked more magnificent than before, and felt proud of Xue Yang.
He sat among the Clan's great leaders who spoke highly of Xue Yang while enjoying the drinks provided to them by the servants. Food was yet to be served. Xingchen was delighted to hear all this and was eager to see Xue Yang's face after so long.
It was almost time,
There was complete silence in the palace while Xue Yang walked towards the throne and everybody's focus shifted on him.
Xingchen was amazed at the changed Xue Yang's confidence; he looked more mature. He walked with full confidence and kowtowed Shan Yang (the Senior Most Leader of the Maple Clan and his uncle), standing in front of the throne.
As soon as the crown was placed on Xue Yang's head,
The Entire Palace was met by a loud noise of applause, beating drums, fifes' sound, and Soldier' shouting "Long Live the King."
Xue Yang sat on the throne and waved everybody while his eyes were searching for Xingchen. As soon as he saw Xingchen, he just kept looking at him, who was cheering for him.
Everybody was enjoying the dinner. Xue Yang and Xingchen wanted to meet each other but were occupied by the Clan leaders. Finally, after hours of struggle, they were standing in front of each other speechless and just staring at each other. Ju Yi broke the silence, and said, "Are you going to spend the entire night staring at each other?"
Xingchen kowtowed Ju Yi. The three of them started talking about how Xingchen had been these six months.
Suddenly, Bin Weng(Clan Leader of Aronia) jumped into the middle of their conversation, accompanying his beautiful daughter, Mei Weng. She kowtowed the three of them while the three kowtowed Bin Weng.
"It's so good to see you rising and shining like this Xue Yang, Ju Yi; you have been a good friend of Xue Yang, and Xingchen I have heard a lot about you from the Grandmaster."
They thanked him, so he continued, Xue Yang, now you have a massive responsibility on your shoulder, so I would like you to marry my daughter. She is well versed in the ethics of royal life.
The three of them were startled while the girl threw a shy smile over Xue Yang, and Xingchen was annoyed to see and hear all this. He excused himself and went to see the grandmaster.
Xue Yang laughed awkwardly and just found a way to sneak out after this, whoever encountered Xue Yang presented their daughter and asked him to marry.
The event was over, and King was bidding farewell to the guest with his uncle.
Xingchen was annoyed to see all this. Ju Yi went to him and told him that servants shifted his luggage to his room, which was just next to Xue Yang's room. He kowtowed and went to the room.
Xue Yang gave him that room intentionally; he thought to himself with an angry face. Xingchen changed himself and went to the study room.
Xue Yang stretched himself and started walking towards his room and sneaked into Xingchen's room but could not find him. He went to his room and changed and went to find him. He saw him in the study room, and knowing that he must be angry, he went to him and tried to cheer him up, but Xingchen ignored him.335Please respect copyright.PENANAjZOlZGG6zl
Xue Yang looked around and picked him in his arms.
"Xue Yang put me down," Xincghen said annoyingly. Xue Yang refused and took him to his room and placed him on the bed while being on top of him.
Xingchen turned red and pushed Xue Yang, but Xue Yang was too heavy for him, so he seductively smiled at Xue Yang and said, "Are you not going to let me go?"
Xue Yang refused, and Xingchen used his spiritual power on him and ran away to his room.
Xue Yang holding his stomach, said to himself, "He is now well versed with spiritual power; I should find a better way next time."
Xingchen locked his room and went to sleep, and Xue Yang was too tired and fell on the bed, thinking of talking to Xingchen tomorrow.
