Zhao Hanzhang sat on the dragon throne, accepting the three bows and nine kowtows from the ministers, but the coronation ceremony was not yet over; the most important step remained—sacrificing to heaven!
This part, Prince An could not attend. He bowed and retreated to the rear hall, where Eunuch Dong was already waiting. Seeing him retreat with a relaxed face and bright eyes, he couldn't help but smile and said softly, "Rest in the rear hall for a while, Prince, until the new emperor finishes the heavenly sacrifice before leaving the Imperial Palace."
Prince An wished he could leave the palace immediately and asked, "Can't I go out now?"
Eunuch Dong shook his head, "Inside and outside the Imperial Palace is on lockdown; you can't roam freely."
Prince An quietly peeked out from behind the screen and saw Zhao Hanzhang standing up as the hundred officials knelt, respectfully sending her out of the hall.
