"The disciple will never dare forget the grace of Teacher; without Teacher’s instruction, there would be no Shangrong today."
Mile chuckled and asked, "Good disciple, have you done what I tasked you with?"
Shangrong replied respectfully, "Your Majesty has already issued the order; we will go to Nuwa Temple to offer incense tomorrow."
Mile nodded with a smile.
The next day, the Emperor’s royal carriage left Phoenix City, with flags and auspicious colors reflecting off the headdresses. The Dragon Light Sword exuded colors of wind and clouds; the Red Feather Banner shimmered with the essence of the sun and moon. Dawn’s dew on the willow branches likened to fairy’s palm; the brightness of the creek’s flowers shone on the clear jade robes. To witness the royal pilgrimage and to gaze upon the heavenly indicators, people of all nations donned ceremonial garb to worship the sage and brilliant rule. The entourage set out from the South Gate of Chao Ge, with every household burning incense and setting fires, each household hung decorations and spread out carpets. Three thousand iron cavalry and eight hundred royal guards guarded the king, with King Wu Cheng, Huang Feihu leading and full retinue of civil and military officials following.
Upon arriving at Nuwa Palace, the Emperor stepped down from his chariot, ascended the great hall, and placed incense in the burner; both civil and military officials followed suit in offering their congratulations. King Zhou admired the splendor of the hall.
Shangrong accompanied King Zhou and the high-ranking civil and military officials to look around inside the Nuwa Temple.
King Zhou glanced at Shangrong and chuckled, "Prime Minister, is the incense offering now complete?"
Shangrong bowed respectfully and replied, "Indeed, it is complete. The holy virtue of Wa Niangniang will surely bless our dynasty."
"But I feel something is still missing; bring me ink and brush." A servant promptly ran over with a tray in hand, upon which were ink and brush.
