The twelfth year of Zhaoping, August.
The gates of Nanyang County had been open since the fifth hour, with citizens crowded on both sides.
The citizens' faces were filled with excitement, each craning their necks and looking around: "Has the Emperor arrived yet?"
"Soon, soon, I can already hear the sound of hooves."
Countless steeds were heading towards the gates, the sound of hooves like thunder, the ground continually shaking, just like the citizens' excited hearts.
"Our Commandery Princess left for twelve years; now she's finally back."
"Our Commandery Princess is now the Emperor of Da Liang; we must change and call her Emperor. When the Emperor enters the gates, everyone must not call her wrong."
Amidst the heated and chaotic discussions, the Empress finally rode her horse through the gates.
The citizens who came late at night and squeezed into the front row waved their hands desperately, shouting: "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
