Facing the gaze of the crowd, Li Xianyun wanted to pull her hand out of Yelu Yan's large hand.
But Yelu Yan didn't allow her to do so, holding her small hand even tighter and pulling her even closer to himself.
The two stood shoulder to shoulder, pressed close together.
Out of decorum, Yelu Yan expressed his gratitude to the civil and military officials and the people.
While Yelu Yan spoke, Li Xianyun smiled at the crowd, dignified and gracious.
The commoners who had come to welcome Yelu Yan and Li Xianyun comprised many from nearby provinces and prefectures.
They had traveled long distances and had been waiting here since before dawn, all for this moment.
They wanted to see what kind of legendary figure the Queen was, who had created many formidable devices during the war between the Khitan and Houliang, helping the Khitan achieve a complete victory.
