Today is his first time participating in the grand court assembly as Marquis Jing'an.
He did not wear official attire, still dressed in the Golden Silk Jade Qilin Armor, with the Ghost Slash Blade hanging at his waist.
Last year, he was bestowed the title of Marquis in front of the hall; among the Emperor's series of rewards for him was one – permission to bring a blade to court!
This reward doesn't carry any practical benefits, but it is a huge honor.
Across the entire Da Lan Dynasty, fewer than ten people have received such an honor.
Neither the Crown Prince, the Eldest Prince, nor the Third Prince, including many Martial Arts Masters at the Realm level, have this privilege.
Once allowed to bring a blade to court, not wearing official attire naturally becomes inconsequential.
