This symbolizes that young children have gone through the baptism of youth and finally ushered in an important period when they can think and live independently. It is also a beautiful age for human beings to move towards the golden years.
Xia Han has been accustomed to independent action since he was a child. For him, this birthday is meaningless. However, for the people of the newly born Glorious Empire, this is the day they have been waiting for a long time.
The deeds of their king were widely circulated by bards. The young baby gradually transformed from a princess in distress to a arrogant emperor. He was a legend told by countless parents and children.
However, no one has ever celebrated the birthday of this emperor who was born noble and served the people selflessly. He is eighteen years old, and the celebration that is eighteen years late will be dedicated to him by the entire country. This is the most lively day of the new empire, Qilin
Bright red ribbons were hung in every corner of the continent.
The palace is the busiest place in the entire continent - that's what it says, but the person involved escaped long ago.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
"The banquet is about to begin, why haven't you found His Majesty yet?"
"Look for us quickly, otherwise Her Royal Highness will definitely kill us!"
Xia Han hated such grand banquets the most. The palace held banquets when the empire was newly established. In a hall filled with nobles and ladies, Xia Han didn't even have time to eat for four hours. He had to force himself to entertain those...
People who please.
In the few years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the number of nobles has more than doubled, and he does not want to bear it at all. In fact, the regent princess Xia Yun is a very capable assistant, and she will handle the trouble caused by Xia Han's departure very well. Therefore, Xia Han
Not worried.
As long as he can go back and show his face before the end of the banquet, those nobles should be satisfied. But now, Xia Han simply ran out of the palace.
The streets of Emerald City were filled with red lanterns and ribbons, the crowds were noisy, and stalls selling toys and food could be seen everywhere, just like the Chinese New Year. Xia Han walked on the street and found that the words spoken by the crowd were very strange.
After the vendor completes the transaction: "Thank you for your patronage, and wish our Majesty a happy birthday." The other party will smile and reply: "Happy birthday to our Majesty!"
The children ran and chased each other, shouting loudly: "Hurry up and catch up. Those who can't catch up will say a hundred words to wish His Majesty a happy birthday!"
People in the tavern clinked their glasses: "Let us drink to His Majesty's coming-of-age ceremony!"
Damn it - is this a shameful play? Xia Han felt uncomfortable walking on the street. Fortunately, he had become an elf, and no one doubted his identity except for the high turn-around rate. It’s just that he couldn’t stand the conversations on the street.
Soon he stopped in a quiet corner of the square.
A dense flow of people gathered in the square, and on the shining stage in the middle there were several girls singing songs he had sung before.
Those nostalgic songs reminded him of his childhood. Those days when he escaped from the darkness. Those days when he was struggling on the verge of death and smiling hard - during that time. Was there a girl who stood behind the stage and looked at him timidly?
"Little guy, are you happy?" A female voice asked him. Ye Mo turned his head and saw Bai Xue with a bright smile on his face: "Look, I am the only one who has found you!"
Her beautiful figure with flowing blond hair is the same as before, brilliant and dazzling, like a fairy from a myth... Bai Xue is exactly the same as when they first met, she is his savior.
"Drip" Xia Han felt his cheeks slightly wet, as if something had fallen. He stretched out his hand to touch his face and found faint tears in his hands. He actually cried. He had never cried before and shed tears easily.
"I did it...I did it."
He suddenly felt afraid, the darkness and death in the past were too heavy, but he finally came over. He grew up tenaciously in this strange world and found where he belonged.
"Little guy." Bai Xue looked at him in surprise: "Why are you crying?"
"I'm fine." Xia Han gently wiped away his tears and smiled: "I'll be fine." He must be strong and move forward as bravely as ever. There is still darkness ahead, and he cannot show his fragile side.
Far away, another song sounded in the square——
Flowers once told me how you walked
The earth knows every corner of your heart
Sweet dreams, no one will miss them
Finally, today’s joyful moment of gathering——
Five-year-old Ge has vivid memories of his experiences more than ten years ago, but Xia Han has become strong enough.
He hugged Bai Xue before leaving: "Thank you, I really want to thank you for saving me back then."
"Of course." Bai Xue raised her eyebrows and suddenly joked: "If you want to thank me, you can thank me tonight!"
"OK."
"..." Bai Xue was stunned. She blinked, and then saw Xia Han's bright eyes, and she was a little scared: "Actually, I think tomorrow night is better."
"You can't run away." Xia Han smiled. At this moment, Bai Xue suddenly patted his head: "By the way, little guy, I forgot the most important thing."
Her expression became cautious.
"The church has sent several bishops over. They are waiting for you at the palace."
——
In the year 1008 of the bilunar calendar, the Pope of Light Bai Hui passed away. At the same time, a document that shocked the world leaked out of his hands.
This document was transported to Qilin Continent, and under the joint witness of four bishops and more than a dozen saints, it was promulgated to Emperor Xia Han of the Radiant Empire. The content of the document read: After Bai Hui, Xia Han will become the only member of the Church of Light
The Son, designated as the next pope of the church.
In the thousands of years since its establishment, this is the first time that the church has handed over power to the rulers of a secular state. This unnatural move of unifying royal power and divine power did not trigger a complete change in the human world.
Because this document also records the conditions for Xia Han to wear the papal crown - the Unification Church.
This is an arduous mission that is almost impossible to complete. After Bai Hui's death, church branches across the Suzque Continent have declared independence, and the false name of the Holy Son has appeared on different people. Not many people are willing to recognize Xia Han, and only one of the twelve bishops
Four people walked up to him.
This is destined to be just a blank check.
However, no matter what, Xia Han got his first birthday gift, the rule of the Church of Qilin Continent. Bai Hui sent many elites to this continent during his lifetime. This time, tens of thousands of people came with the four bishops, and the Glorious Empire
His strength was greatly improved at once.
What's more important is that he has four subordinates who have become legends, and Bai Yue has successfully returned to his side.
This young female knight, as soon as she came back, became an earl, succeeded the Lord of Jade City, and became the commander of all the bright knights hidden by the church in Qilin Continent. (To be continued...)
