Chapter 16: Two Names in the Ledger
Qinghe did not wait seven nights.
She was in the Hall of Radiance at the first bell.
Nine thousand immortals were still pulling on their sleeves when she walked up the middle aisle.
Jinye walked half a step behind her left shoulder, in full black and crimson with his hair tied up.
She had dressed for it.
Her robe was white from collar to hem, her silver sash was pulled tight, and her iron hairpin held her hair in a plain knot.
She wore no jewels at all.
On the dais, the Heavenly Emperor sat under his nine-dragon crown.
The Prince stood at the foot of the steps.
He looked at her once, and then at the floor.
"Su Qinghe," said Yan Taiheng. "You are early."
"I am not here to argue the decree," said Qinghe. "I am here to have the Register read."
A murmur went around the pillars.
"The Register of Names is read at birth and at death," the Emperor said.
"The Register writes itself, Your Majesty."
"Every soul that draws a first breath in any of the three realms gets a line, in the Heaven Pen's own ink."
"That is the law of this Court. I have read the law."
She had spent six hours of the night reading it, with her cheek on Jinye's shoulder.
