Hua Manman accompanied Prince Zhao to the evening banquet.
At the banquet, she finally saw the legendary Emperor.
He sat enthroned at the head of the hall, clad in a dark brocade robe embroidered with a Five-clawed Golden Dragon at its hem and cinched at the waist with a golden leather belt.
According to the descriptions in Palace Intrigue, this Emperor was accomplished in both literary and martial arts. He was brave and strategic, a diligent ruler who ushered in an era of prosperity. His only flaw was being something of a scoundrel when it came to matters of the heart.
He was tall and well-built, with sharp, defined brows, piercing eyes, and deep-set features.
Even just sitting there, he radiated an imposing aura, as if the whole world was beneath him.
But when Hua Manman saw his face clearly, she froze for a moment.
She instinctively glanced at Prince Zhao, who was seated beside her.
'Prince Zhao and the Emperor... they look somewhat similar.'
