He looked at the mirror in front of him and saw that below the dark blue, silver-edged belt on Li Wuting’s waist, a piece of jade hung down. Li Wuting’s large hand gathered his hair, and the black strands slid through his calloused fingers.AoKmooBVpADrjglHBmYiIsCSCpzBoO

Ji Jie then said, “The ceremony is complete. Bow and thank your parents and the heavens.”LkfOtVwXLSiboznwEuFGdHeKjIHWbt

Without parents, Ning Rushen only needed to bow to the heavens: those receiving the ritual outside the capital bow to the capital city, and those within bow to the imperial palace. With the emperor present—DxjCVoyqHlzGoiGgnhvREqeWHpWTts

In his crimson attire, with a glimpse of a snow-white collar and a layer of light, golden gauze, he looked radiant with the flowing gold and red. As he bowed, his forehead rested on his hand, revealing a smooth section of his neck.HBVIdKIuuGapoWYKzUqYErhiNKTGyO
