"I am honored to represent Liang Kindom in the upcoming martial arts competition," Xiao Yuelan proudly announced.
Xiao Yan's eyes sparkled with pride: "That's great news, Yuelan! Your martial arts skills are extraordinary, and I believe you will bring glory to our country."
Chao Qinglan smiled warmly at her daughter and said, "Remember, Yuelan, this is not just about winning the competition, but also representing the values and virtues of our Liang Kindom warriors."
Xiao Yuelan nodded determinedly and said, "I will make Liang Kindom proud, mother, father."
At the same time, in another part of the palace, Xiao Yan and Chao Qinglan's second daughter, Xiao Yao, is studying ancient texts with her tutor, Master Zhang.
"Princess Yao, this ancient text contains the wisdom of our ancestors. Understanding these documents will deepen your understanding of governance and strategy," Master Zhang explained, pointing to the beautifully written scroll.
Xiao Yao nodded attentively and said, "I am honored to learn from history, Master Zhang. I believe this knowledge will guide me to serve Liang Kindom with wisdom and integrity."
Back in the royal study, Xiao Yan and Chao Qinglan discussed the upcoming diplomatic mission to strengthen alliances with neighboring countries.
"Stable and prosperous relations with neighboring countries are crucial," commented Chao Qinglan, studying diplomatic reports.

As they delved deeper into discussing diplomatic strategies, a sense of unity and purpose enveloped the air. Xiao Yan and Chao Qinglan have a clear vision for the future of Liang Kindom - to establish a harmonious and prosperous nation where every citizen can thrive.
In the ancient city of Jiankang, the streets are filled with a joyful and lively atmosphere as preparations are made for the grand National Day celebration.
Various decorated red lanterns adorn every corner, adding a warm glow to the cobblestone streets. A faint fragrance lingers in the air, mingling with the aroma of freshly cooked delicacies.

Emperor Xiao Yan wore a proud and determined smile, while Empress Zhao Qinglan radiated an elegant and wise aura.
"Looking at the people celebrating like this, my love," Emperor Xiao Yan said, a smile playing at the corner of his mouth, "this is proof of our victory and the peace we have brought to the country."
Empress Zhao Qinglan nodded, her eyes filled with joy and Xiao Zhan ity. "This is indeed a victorious moment, but let us not forget the challenges we faced together that brought us to today."
As they continued to watch the celebration, their thoughts drifted back to the turbulent times they had experienced - war, political intrigue, and sacrifices made for the overall benefit of the kingdom.
At the heart of the festival, a series of performances showcased the rich cultural heritage of Liang Kindom. Dancers moved gracefully to the rhythm of traditional music, their colorful costumes adding vibrancy to the event.

In a quiet corner of the palace garden, Chao Qinglan's children - Xiao Yao and Xiao Sa - are playing together under the care of Zhang Yue. The sisters are chasing each other playfully, their laughter blending with the music coming from the celebration.
"Mom, look at the fireworks!" Xiao Sa excitedly points to the sky, where the dazzling fireworks are painting intricate patterns in the night sky.
Empress Zhao Qinglan Lovingly looks at her daughters. "Yes, my darlings, this is a breathtaking sight. Just like our kingdom, every spark represents hope, resilience, and unity."
Li Shu-yi stands elegantly in the magnificent palace, wearing gorgeous court attire, holding the young prince Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi's eyes are filled with innocent smiles as he looks around the lively scene, appearing very excited.
Although Xiao Yi was officially adopted by Chao Qinglan, he felt an immense warmth and love in the arms of Li Shu-yi. Li Shu-yi was full of love for this little prince, carefully taking care of him and ensuring his healthy growth in this bustling palace.
Watching this scene, Chao Qinglan also felt immense comfort and moved. She knew that her role between politics and family was heavy, and Li Shu-yi's presence made her feel more at ease, knowing that her child was receiving the best care. At this moment, the palace was filled with a harmonious and happy atmosphere.
At the same time, nobles and guests from neighboring countries gathered in the palace hall, discussing future alliances and trade agreements, further enhancing the prosperity of Liang Kindom.
As night fell, the celebration reached its climax. Emperor Xiao Yan and Empress Zhao Qinglan addressed the gathered crowd, thanking them for their support, reaffirming their commitment to peace, prosperity, and unity, and wishing for a bright future for future generations.

Emperor Xiao Yan had a happy and contented smile on his face as he walked hand in hand with Empress Zhao Qinglan, enjoying the blessings and cheers of the crowd.
Suddenly, this beautiful atmosphere was shattered by a sense of foreboding. Chao Qinglan felt a dizzy spell and then fell into a coma.
Emperor Xiao Yan immediately panicked and picked her up, shouting loudly, "Physician, quickly go and fetch the physician."
The physician rushed over and upon examination, found that Chao Qinglan's bruises were more severe than before, and her breathing was gradually weakening.
