185 Enthronement - The Uncomfortable Dragon Throne

Xing felt relieved that the gifting ceremony was over and she'd be able to leave this stage soon and go back to her room, remove all these clothes, take a bath and go to sleep.

But Priestess Shu rained hail on her parade.

"Now the Emperor and the Empress will be seated on the Dragon Throne by the will of the Heavens",she announced in a clear voice.

What the...

Xing wanted to scold the Priestess but her father broke the silence in the hall created by the unusual announcement by the Priestess.

"Esteemed Priestess, it is not customary for the Empress to sit on the Dragon Throne. It is meant only for the Emperor"

"Yes! We cannot break traditions", Xing seconded her father.

Let me go! That throne looks extremely uncomfortable.
