The morning sun rose with the song, gradually ascending to the zenith. The second prelude to the wedding ceremony was the gift-giving from various states!
Envoy teams from various states of the alliance and different tribes under the heavens, guided by royal warriors, carried chests of precious gifts, making their way from outside the capital city. They opened the chests, displaying lavish gifts, walking from the civilian district to the central palace district amidst the admiration and attention of countless capital city citizens.
The delegation from the Kingdom of the Lake was especially long. Two thousand imperial guards carried hundreds of chests of precious tributes, thousands of sets of brand-new armor and weapons, and dragged forty huge bronze beasts, coming from the north along the White Dike Long Bridge. In the golden sunlight, numerous bronze items gleamed magnificently, attracting much attention.
