These young students grew up listening to the stories told by their parents. The deeds of Empress Dowager especially had a great influence on the hearts of these young girls who were full of dreams. Seeing that Empress Dowager had returned, everyone went to worship her.
Elder Nangong smiled comfortably while touching his long beard. These children are truly the pillars of the next generation of Nanyi Country!
âPrincess Yingye, why donât you ask the Empress Dowager if we can have a glimpse of her?â Elder Nangong turned and asked Princess Yingye.
âElder Nangong please wait, Iâll come back as soon as possible.â Princess Yingye rode forward and caught up with Empress Dowagerâs team. When the guard saw her, he immediately informed Empress Dowager.
Princess Yingye rode up to the magnificent carriage in the middle. She leaned down, smiled, and said a few words, and the maid outside the carriage raised her hand to signal the team to stop.
Then, the maid went inside the carriage, and after a while, she helped a very imposing and dignified old lady to come out. This was the Empress Dowager of Nanyi Country.
Empress Dowager wore simple and elegant clothes. The hair accessories on her head are not gorgeous and colorful but mostly silver jewelry. There was a smile on her kind face along with the royal demeanor.
Seeing the Empress Dowager coming, the students went forward excitedly, kneeling and saluting one after another.
âYou can all get up. You are all the future pillars of Nanyi Country, and this time, youâve worked hard.â The Empress Dowager said kindly.
Unlike the fierce woman on the battlefield of that year, the current Empress Dowager is no longer concerned about the majority of national affairs of the country. Instead, she prays for the country wholeheartedly and has lived life in a simple way with Buddha.
Without the youthful spirit, there is a kind Buddha nature in this old lady that makes people feel at ease.
Elder Nangong got off his horse, walked up, knelt down on one knee, and said with tremendous respect, âWelcome Empress Dowager back to court!â
âElder Nangong please get up. How can I accept this?â Empress Dowager personally helped him up. She glanced at the students and asked what they had encountered in the Floating Forest.
As Elder Nangong listed the things one by one, Empress Dowagerâs face became solemn, âDream Weavers, we havenât heard of the Dream Weavers appearing for hundreds of years.â
Elder Nangong was also very puzzled, âThis spirit beast that can make illusions is almost extinct on the mainland. This sudden appearance is very disturbing.â
âDoes Elder Nangong have any suspicions?â Empress Dowager asked.
Elder Nangong whispered, âShura City.â
Empress Dowagerâs complexion changed when she heard the words Shura City, and her heart jumped wildly, âShura City, there has been no news for more than ten years.â
She could also understand Elder Nangongâs feelings. If it werenât for thinking of Shura City and fearing the dark power that has disappeared for more than ten years, Elder Nangong would not easily come back with these experienced teams.
Shura City, they must be cautious!
âRoyal Grandmother, how can Shura City appear? Havenât they already disappeared?â Princess Yingye asked naively.
The Empress Dowager touched her head, smiled, and said, âThey didnât disappear; they are just hidden.â
âThen what are they doing this time? For making a move on us, they must have an ulterior motive!â Princess Yingye said angrily.
Thinking of the time when she was caught in the fantasy world by the Dream Weaver, and almost attacking Beiyue, when she thought that she could have hurt Beiyue, she got chills.
