Before The Coronation.

The spirit vessel made its way through the protection arrays around the city and Han Lingshi stood at the bow with a shocked expression on her face. She did not expect that when she comes back the face of the city would have changed to such an extent. 

From the skies, the entire city seemed to have been dressed in red like a bride ready to get wedded. She asked, "What is going on here?" 

Hao Ren took her hand and said, "Yin, put her away, I will take Lingshi down." 

Yin nodded, and then Hao Ren took Han Lingshi down to the front of the palace gently. Han Lingshi was mesmerized, the streets were decorated with red lanterns, and city was bustling with noises of cheer and joy. She could even make out the sounds of the people praising the Empress. 

Hao Ren and Han Lingshi landed in front of the palace. The guard unit saw them and they all quickly bowed their heads and greeted in unison, "Welcome back, Your Majesty."
