Although the guest house and the palace are only separated by a wall, they are two completely different worlds.
As soon as they entered the palace, a beautiful scenery appeared in front of Li Xuan and Luo Li.
Among the red walls of the palace, the palace pavilions and palaces look like in a painting, and the yellow-green glazed tiles reflect the bright sunlight, rendering it gorgeous.
There are so many palaces in the palace that they are almost countless, and most of them are exquisitely carved and painted.
After passing through a palace complex, there is a large ocean-like garden.
Ponds dotted the area, with various colorful goldfish swimming around in the clear water, looking very leisurely.
There are also large lotus flowers growing in the pond. Li Xuan sniffed hard and could smell the unique fragrance of lotus seeds.
A series of small bridges spanned the pond, and countless weeping willows were gently swinging their green branches beside the pond. And further away, there were tens of thousands of various flowers, which were blooming in full bloom.
, this cluster of flowers was the first time Li Xuan had seen in his life, and it was really amazing.
Not only Li Xuan, a country bumpkin who had never seen much of the world, was amazed, but Luo Li was also dumbfounded and whispered to Li Xuan: "I have been to the Thunder Emperor's palace many times. Compared with your Yunteng palace, it is really amazing."
So shabby!”
Li Xuan nodded in agreement.
Just think about it carefully, the palace of Yunteng, an old and rotting country, is many times more luxurious than the palace of Qi, a powerful country. It doesn't seem to be something that people should be proud of, right?
Anyway, just looking at the luxury of this palace, Li Xuan couldn't tell which country was stronger, nor could he tell that Yunteng was facing the biggest crisis in history.
Continuing forward, we soon came to a spacious yard. There were many flower beds in the yard. The pine trees in the middle were also hung with bird cages. There were colorful and beautiful birds inside. They chirped when they saw someone coming.
Non-stop.
Some guards and maids had been waiting in the yard for a long time. When Li Xuan and Luo Li walked in, the two guards stepped forward to check and made sure they did not carry any dangerous items. Then they nodded to indicate that they could go in.
Li Xuan and Luo Li were led by the maid, through a side door and into another courtyard.
When they walked into a room in the courtyard, they found that it was filled with extremely gorgeous furniture, and there was an incense stick in the corner, which was releasing a rich aroma.
"The Queen Mother is here!"
Just when Li Xuan and Luo Li were about to appreciate the expensive furniture here, there was a sound from outside.
Li Xuan and Luo Li stood aside in a hurry, and soon they heard the sound of footsteps, and a gracefully dressed woman appeared.
The most attractive thing about her is not her youthful appearance, but the various jewels and emeralds on her head, which are sparkling and look like a mountain of treasures! Even the robe she is wearing seems to be made of the most precious materials, and it has
It is also decorated with hundreds of pearls as big as the belly of your thumb.
These pearls look exactly the same in luster and size. God knows how they were put together.
The Queen Mother also wore a green bracelet and a few dazzling rings on her hands. In short, she was full of jewels. It is estimated that if this outfit is sold, it will be enough to feed the soldiers on the front line for several days! Li Xuan and Luo Li followed the previous instructions
After learning the etiquette and paying homage to the Queen Mother, I had the opportunity to take a closer look at her appearance.
"As expected of Xia Ruixue's sister, she looks a bit like her.
It is estimated that Xia Ruixue will look like this in another ten years."
Li Xuan thought to himself.
The Queen Mother is indeed very beautiful, but there is a faint sadness between her eyebrows. I don't know if it is Li Xuan's illusion or something.
But if you think about it carefully, you become a widow at a young age and have to take care of an entire dying country. It's hard for anyone to smile.
"Nice to meet you, Miss Rowley.
I hope you can get used to the food and accommodation in Yunteng.
If you need anything, just tell me."
The Queen Mother is very young, only in her early thirties. If her clothes were not too luxurious, she would look like a very kind sister.
She held Luo Li's hand and whispered some caring words.
Then the Queen Mother looked at Li Xuan, looked up and down a few times, and smiled: "Are you Li Xuan?
I heard Ruixue mention you!"
"Thank you, Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness the Princess, for your kindness."
Li Xuan said.
"I heard that you have made a lot of contributions to the country. I am very grateful for your contribution."
The Queen Mother added, "I will keep everything you do in mind and I will not treat you badly."
Just when Li Xuan wanted to show his loyalty, he suddenly heard a noise, and then a teenage boy ran into the room and shouted: "Where is the butcher's daughter?"
Let me see!"
This child was also dressed in expensive clothes, with jewels so dazzling that one could hardly keep his eyes open. He also carried a small bow in his hand. As soon as he rushed into the room, he looked around menacingly.
Several guards rushed in in a panic, some hurriedly grabbed the child, and some came to the Queen Mother to apologize: "Queen Mother, we didn't grab your Majesty..." "Forget it!"
The Queen Mother frowned slightly, waved her hand, then looked at the child and said softly, "Emperor, why are you here?"
Is this the emperor?
Li Xuan and Luo Li looked at the child in surprise.
The current emperor Yunteng ascended the throne at the age of six. Calculating the time, he is only thirteen years old now. He is indeed a child who has not grown up.
However, the child in front of him didn't look like an emperor, but rather like an annoying and naughty neighbor kid, with a mischievous look on his face, and he couldn't hide the arrogance on his face.
Li Xuan only took one look and knew that this was a spoiled child who was probably not afraid of anything.
In fact, this is all nonsense. Even if he is a child, it is completely different if he is the emperor. Who dares to care about him?
Even if he got into trouble, who would dare to punish him?
If you meet a queen mother who is too gentle, it is strange that this child is not naughty! "Mother, I heard that the butcher's daughter is here, so I came to take a look."
As the emperor answered, his eyes fell on Luo Li.
"You have a very raw face. You must be the butcher's daughter, right?"
The emperor said.
Luo Li looked slightly stunned. She knew her father's nickname, but few people mentioned it in front of her.
Even though the man in front of him was the emperor and had all the power over the country, Luo Li still felt very unhappy because he was so outspoken and impolite.
The Queen Mother also said angrily: "Emperor, what are you talking about!"
The emperor snorted coldly, and suddenly raised the small bow in his hand, aiming at Luo Li: "Your father massacred tens of thousands of us in Yun Teng, and I want revenge!"
