章節 1732: Crowning Ceremony 4

"Long live the King, long live the Queen!" echoed through the crowd as people knelt down in an orderly fashion.

Duke Changning, his family, and the housekeeper all joined in kneeling.

Lu Jiming raised his gaze as the grand procession passed by.

In the distance, he caught sight of the King, adorned in a resplendent dragon robe, accompanied by a finely dressed new Queen, whose face remained partially obscured. Intrigued, Lu Jiming edged forward, attempting to get a closer look. Those ahead of him muttered curses under their breath, reproaching his behavior. In the past, Lu Jiming would have been bothered by such reprimands, but his focus on the new King and Queen rendered him indifferent to their words.

Slowly but surely, the procession drew nearer.

Lu Jiming's eyes widened with anticipation.

He strained his eyes, making every effort to discern the figures seated in the carriage as it approached.
