The motorcade entered the gates of the parliamentary hall and came to a stop in its parking lot, where staff were already on hand to open the doors for Huangfu Yaoyang and Huangfu Jue, among others.
Several individuals disembarked from the vehicles one after another and entered the front hall of the parliamentary hall, ascending the stairs toward the street-side grandstand.
At the grandstand facing the street, all the guests had arrived early. Seeing the newcomers, everyone stood up from their chairs and bent at the waist to greet the King and the others.
Huangfu Yaoyang, accompanied by Leng Xiaoye, walked past the crowd, giving a slight nod of his head, his grace laced with a dignity that rose above all others.
Following were Huangfu Jue and Gan Yuan. The sight of Gan Yuan stirred envy in the hearts of all the young girls.
